Along with q great deal Of reassuring tes-
timony as to financial conditions comes an
oficial statement from Mr.. Eckels, control
Ter Of the currency, in which are shown
plain unvarnished facts as to bank snspen-
sions. Foolish and partisan efforts to
alarm the public mind have alleged that
two hundred or more banks had failed and
those same misstaternents naturally result
ed In exaggerated ideas which in turn did
damage where there was no good reason
FOR any disturbance. But an extension Of
the scare Is hardly possible, in the face of
the Information presented by the control

The calamity bowler has been trying to
convince the thoughtless that most of the

History OF the unreliable sort is just about
a. valuable as no history at ALL Properly
euiosfzing the erection of a monument at
Fort Riley to the United States soldiers-of-
ncers and enlisted men Of the seventh cav
ary-who were killed at the battle of
Wounded Knee, the Kansas City Times
proceeds to play all manner of solemn
pranks with the facts. 1t alleges that the
battle Of Wounded Knee took place at the
Drexel Mission on the evening of December
%, 1890; that the Indians had gathered there
for the purpose of destroying the Mission
buildings; that the seventh cavalry arrived
In time to engage the Indians; that a ter
rife encounter ensued; that twenty-four
United States soldiers were killed and of
Indians between seventy-fve and one hun
dred: that among the Sioux leaders were
High Hawk, Little Wound. Big Road. Two
Strike. Fire Lightning, YoungMan-Afraid-
of-His-Horses and Spotted Elk; that Two
Strike and Little Wound were in command.
and that since the battle-some months ago
Two Strike had been shot and killed.
To be sure the matter is not Of great i'm
portance, but as there will probably never
again be as big a fight between troops and
Indians as REDEEMED the ground at Wound
ed Knee IL is Just as we'll to correct such
remarkable errors now. The battle OF
Wounded Knee took place near the Indian
village OF Wounded Knee and more than
twelve miles from the mission. The con-
Met was the result of the refusal of Big
Foots captured band Of Minneconjous to
surrender their arms to Col. Forsythe. who
commanded his regiment-the seventh cav
alry-in the field. Twenty-Five soldiers were
killed and others died some days later; one
hundred and sixty Indians. male and fe-

male, ended their careers within an hour
None Of the Ogallalas or Brules mentioned
had anything to do with the fight; Big
Foot was at the head of his aggregation Of
horse thieves. and when he and his medi-
cine man, Sits Straight, were killed there
was no leader. That night the seventh re-
turned to Pine Ridge, and on the following
day, while making a reconnaissance in force,
struck less than a hundred hostiles west Of
the Drexel Mission. The mission was not
attacked and never was in danger from the
Sioux. The latter were after the seventh.

with his battalion of the ninth there was

The ninth did the fighting at the mission.

of the hostiles; from the beginning he
worked for peace. and to him, more than to
any one else. was due the speedy cessation
of hostilities. He Is dead now, but Two

riot In the House Of Representative would
give experts on Eunshot wounds and stabs
numerous opportunities for extending their
experience. Therefore 1t behooves the COM
ing Congress to restrain Its sarcasm and
subdue the angry passions which are al
ways on tap. Suppose that IN the course Of
debate on the river and harbor bill-a meas
ure Of Infinitely greater congressional mo-
ment than Gladstone's home rule legisla-
tion-Mr. Thomas Bracket Reed should
sneeringiy and emphatically address Mr..
William 8. Holman as JUDAS" the init
nation being that Mr.. Holman had be-
trayed his watchdog principles for that &C.
casion only and for beneficiary reasons.
And suppose that Col Constantine Buckley
Kngors and Commodore Clifton r. Brock
inridge should espouse Mr.. Holman's cause
and proceed to develop hostile intent, where
would Mr.. Reed be? Then imagine the
scene when Gen. Champ Clark with all the
enthusiasm Of his congressional youth got
ready to take hand In the strife with
Michael Joseph McEttrick, the Massachu-
sets Apollo, as his side partner. Who
could withstand the onslaught? And when
Private John Allen lands on the PROSTATE

Crisp - for the Georgian will surely be

Washington" The Quaker City Is Just

in the renewal OF a struggle which comes
with Congress. 1t Is undoubtedly true that
the trolley companies in other cities are

the invasion Of Washington by the cheap

concerted action Is evidently as plain to
the Ledger as 1t is to The Star. Trolley

effect of the adoption of such q system
