WILL SURELY BE 4 FIGHT.
Trouble L. Looked for at Bear
Island

Walker, Mimi, Oct. 2.-There is
every probability Of n fight between
the United States troops and the In
dams on Bear island within few
days. The Indians are savage and are
making all sorts Of threats of violence
In case any attempt Is made to arrest
their chief. The agent and inspector
Of the reservation were In Walker last
night aud were positive in case any at
tempt is made to take the troops to
Bear island there will be a fight and
lives will be lost. There was not an
Indian to be found on the reservation
last night. 1t is thought that they are
all here outside the limits of the reser-
walton or else on the island. The peO-
pie of the town are trying to induce
the officers To refrain from making ar
rests, but this advice will not be fol-
lowed.
When Lieut.. Humphrey and his lit
tlc squad of twenty members OF the
Third infantry discmbarked from the
train here they were greeted with
laughter. Not that the people of
Walker do not believe in the bravery
OF the troops that We're sent to put
down the DOSSih!e
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1898-10-06
UPRISING of the Indians

On Bear island, but because they are
well aware that twenty soldiers will
be Of no use against 200 savage In
dians, in case the Indians take II into
their heads 10 resist the marshal and
his deputies when they attempt TO ar
rest the chief Of the tribe, who is
wanted for resisting an officer of the
government in the attempt to arrest
him two weeks ago. Whether there
will be trouble or not. no one knows.
Some of the people who are said TO be
familiar with the condition of affairs
here think that there will surely be a
fight In case an attempt is made to
make the arrest, while others think
that as soon as the troops put IN al APP
Dcarance the Indians will submit w!LE-
out trouble. But in spite of these
diverse opinions all the people Of inc
town are agreed that in case there is
trouble twenty men will be simply an
aggravation TO the Indians. and that
they vii! be wiped out before they
have even had a chance to land on the
island. II * possible that In case
there is prospect Of trouble a request
will lie sent IN for more troops.

WATERED STOCK.

The increasing or watering" of the
stock OF our corporations is the nat
ural outgrowth OF our present condi-
tons. 1t Is done In all OF the great
commercial centers, without hesita-
ton, 50 long as no law is violated. 1t
is based on the accepted business prop
osition that one has the right to work
thing for all II is WORTH" providing
always that no municipal law Is vio-
lated.
The right to increase stock without
cash behind 1t, or the watering" Of
stock. as regulated by our own munic-
ipal law, is not now discussed.
What, however. is the moral right to
increase or water" stock? Just now
1t becomes an interesting question.
The watering Of the stock OF quasi
public corporations, such as railway
and telegraph companies is an entire
ly different matter. Such companies
having received valuable assets from
the public, are bound to look to the
public interests. Other. and the indus
trial corporations, owe the public
nothing but honesty. But, usually. It
Is as easy for a camel to go through
the eye Of a needle as It is for a cor
poration to tell all the truth. The
danger in dealing with corporate stocks
is, not in what is said, but what Is
not said, or is concealed. There Is no
objection on moral grounds to the is
suing Of slO,OOO,OOO OF unpaid capital
stock, provided always the truth Is
stated. A man has the moral right
to issue certificate valuing his herd
Of one hundred goats at $1,000, 900, pro-
vided there is no misrepresentation or
deception.
AS rule, the increase or watering"
Of stock, when done in accordance with
law. has the aspect Of psychological
illusion. Leonard Jerome (Lady Ran
dolph Churchill's father q great stock
operator. said: Issue 10000 shares

The coincidence, however, OF the hap

PEACE BRINGS RELIEF.

While the newspapers OF the Main
land, received by the last mail, are
filled with war news, and reflect the
general feeling OF triumph over the
8paniards, on the declaration Of peace,
there Is hardly a reference to the most
important object Of the war, the move
men In the interests Of humanity. and
the relief Of the suffering Cubans.
The instant President Mckinley fixed
his name to the protocol Of peace on
August 18th, the closed doors OF Ha-
yana began to open, and the Red Cross,
with its fleets OF supplies. began to
move towards the sick and the suffer-
ing and the starving. The great Mas
ter cared little for the vast range and
deadly aim of SIMPSONS guns. He
did not hear the shout OF victory, roll
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
over the miserable, weak, oyermatched
vessels OF the unframed and deluded
Spaniards, and the surrender Of the
Spanish West Indies to the United
States. His eye was fixed on the many
thousands OF His creatures tasting the
bitterness OF death through starvation,
disease and exposure. The "corres-
pondents" have told us about 1t;
that there has been nothing more hor-
rible in this nineteenth century than
this desolation in Cuba; hungry men
unable to walk; babes dying at the
breast for want OF nourishment; little
children in the semblance OF skeletons
lying by the road side; the old and
crippled huddled in small quarters In
the city of Havana, unable to move and
praying to God to relieve them by
death OF their sufferings from hunger.
Everywhere was utter misery that re-
calls the stories Of mans inhumanity to
man in the barbaric ages. And all OF
this appalling suffering was increased
and doubled by the blockade, the infiic-
ton Of an evil to be followed by the
largest good.
It Is not song OF triumph that we
should sing. but rather one OF peace
and good will that the doors which
have 10 long been closed on the suffer-
ing Cubans have now opened, "on gold
en- hinges turning" and Our Lady Of
Sorrow smiles through her tears. as the
Angels Of the Red Cross kneel before
these myriads Of sufferers and deity
humanity before the world.
