The Indian Way of Driving.

Commenting on the attempt made by
The government in 1867 to civilizo the
prairie Indians by supplying them with
the garb and food of the white man, Colo
mel Bob Dodge Of Dodge City says: 1.-THE
authorities sent the Indians thousands CT
sacks of flour, pantaloons in abundance
and big lot Of stiff trimmed hats bound
around the edge with tin or German Silver
to hold the rim in shape. They also sent
them a few light running ambulanccs.
The savages, to show their appreciation Of
these magnanimous gifts from the greG;
father, threw the -four on the prairie in
order to get the sacks for breechclouts.
They cut ont the seats Of the pantaloons,
and they cut the crown off the hats and
used them as playthings, shying them in
the air, like white boy does fat stone,
to see them sail away.
1.-THE ambulances they We're proud of
The government neglected to send any
harness with them, so the Indians manu-
featured their own. They cid not under
stand anything about lines, and instead
they drove with a quirt, or short whip
When the near horse would go too much
gee, they whipped up the off horse, and
when he would go1 too much 'haw' they
pounded away at the near horse again.
and SO vice versa all the time. This unique
manner of driving kept the poor animals
in a dead run most of the time.
II remember taking ride with Little
Raven, chief OF the Arapahoes. At first we
started off gently, but his ponies did not go
straight so he kept tapping them, now the
off horse, then the near until finally be
got them on rapid gallop, and thought
at one time my head would surely pop up
through the roof of the ambulance. The
country was very level, fortunately, or |
don't know what would have been the out.

A HIDDEN DEAL.

1t will be remem bered that in one
of Mr.. CIeveland's messages he re-
marked that he was not unfriendly
to silver and that subsequent events
proved he chose a mighty poor way
to show his friendship for the white
metal. 1t will be remembered, also,
that his late message was construed
by some as being in a measure sym
pathetic with Cuba, with a warning
to Spain that something must be
done by that country looking to a
termination Of hOstilities. If the
latest reports are true, the President
is equally insincere towards Cuba as
he was towards the white metal.
The New York Journals special
correspondent at Madrid makes a
statement that Cleveland has struck
a secret blow at Cuba and that he
and his Secretary of War are engaged
in a hidden deal with the Madrid
government.
After giving a detailed account of
the conspiracy, this correspondent
asks:
"Will Congress help to complete
the conspiracy against human liber
ty to which President Cleveland has
lent his utmost support? Surely the
American people have not forgotten
their own history, nor the never to
be forgotten part which France
played in it at the beginning"

PLATFORM PROMISES.

Those so-called Democrats who
were such ardent Palmer and Buck
ner men that they voted for McKin-
ley and Hobart are having dishes of
crow set before them at sundry
times and places. These fellows
didn't want independent bimetallism,
international bimetallism, nor any
other sort OF bimetallism. The gold
standard, pure and unadulterated,
was the stuff for them.
Now the news comes that the man
they favored for President declares
that he wants an international con
ference looking to bimetal.ism and
that he is determined that the
promises made to the people to that
effect ia the Republican platform
shall be carried out"
After having reached thegoal upon
what was pretty generally under
stood to be a gold standard policy,
Mckinley may be sincere in his pro-
fessions that the international
bimetallism promises of the platform
shall be carried out, but we do not
believe that the trusts and money
Gratis, who contributed so largely to
the Hanna campaign fund, will con
sent to any such thing, and it may
be put down as an interesting future
event that there is going to be war
in the camp when the President elect
runs counter to the purposes for
which goldcrat Doodle was contrib
uted in the late campaign.
A contracted currency is what these
people 5want and that they will have,
or raise a bowling rumpus in trying
to maintain it. Platform promises
cut no figure with them. Enhanced
value of their dollars is what they
are after.
