ANDERSON, s. G., WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 23 1901

Decn to exact all the money the people
can be ~rought to vote, with the conf
dencc that means for spending it can
easily bc found. Thus, ut the last ses-
sion. with an accrued surplus Of some
eighty millions and an anticipated sur
plus or tho same amount for the next
year, all that the party would conccde
was an alleged reduction Of $4,000
GOO, which has turned ont, so far. to
amount to only 81 100000 q month. or
Sl2,OoO,000 year. In the face of this
numbers OF Republican Copgrcssmcn
who have been interviewed on the sub
Jcct, object to Il reduction in taxation
and suggest that thcS gold accnnn,ln
lions can he gotten rid OF by rcdecminy
and cancelling the grccnbaclls-a
methotk which OF course, would merely
substitute permanent contraction of
the currency ofthe country for tenn
porary locking up OF it,
One evidence of the Republican
IDEAS on financial subjects is found in
the strong movement to negative the
proposition OF the Commercial Cable
Company to lay cable to Manila with
out any cost whntever to the govern
ment. and substitute therefor an net
providing for cable laid either by the
government or with Il government sub
sluy. Either way, the cost to Uncle
Sam would be about 500, ,0OO, 900 in cash,
ana would involve the beginning Of
policy OF government ownership of
pubic utilities. But then, think how
nice it would he for the company that
was aided.

ing price of those metals.
The total decrease in the values of all
metal produced is equal to seven per
cent Nearly all of this amount occur
red in silver.
This was due to the closing down of
the works and mines at Elkhorn, to the
steadily diminishing output Of silver
lead ores in the state. to smaller silver
contents in the copper ores of the Butte
district and to lessening output of sill
yer by the mills of the state.
The exhaustion of ore at several of the
mines heretofore prominent as large
producers explains the decrease in gold
In copper the loss in value was due to a
lower average price for this metal dur
ing 1900 than in 1899. the quantity OF
copper having increased somewhat.

slaughter until the enemy Surrenders;
if there is no surrender. there can be
no massacre. But whatever history calls
the bloody affray. whether massacre or
battle, nothing will bring back to life
the gallant fellows who went to their
death on that fatal 25th day of June,
1876.
The Sioux Indians had been trouble
some during the early part of 1876. and
three expeditions were started out to
subdue them. From Fort Fetterman,
Wyoming. General Crook, the greatest
Indian fighter of his day, marched north
with 1000 men; General Terry started on
his long overland march from Fort
Abraham Lincoln, in what is now North
Dakota: and General Gibbon marched
Montana, the intention being to cen
verge on the warlike redskins in North
ern Wyoming, attack them OH three
sides, and force them to submission.
General Crook met the painted war
riors on the headwaters of the Rosebud
river, on the 18th Of June, where they
put up such hard fight, and appeared
| in such overwhelming numbers that
| even that veteran fighter found it adj
visable to leave them in possession of
| the field. No word came to the other
| detachments of his defeat, until too late
| to be of service. Custer died without
knowing anything of it, and ran head
| foremost into an Indian army that wiped
! out of existence the last vestige of his
| little band. Crooks couriers failed to
reach Custer and his scouts, as well as

the other detachments, in time to put

Custer had been a major general of
volunteers in the civil, war, a lieutenant
known as a brilliant cavalry lea der. He
was at the head of the gallant Seventh
cavalry, perhaps the greatest single or
ganizatiOn of soldiers that modern his
tory records. On thousand fields, skir-
mishes, battles and wild rides they had
proved their mettle. Perhaps their
leader, who was smarting under the hui
initiation of some official disfavor at
Washington, had too great confidence
in their invulnerbility; human flesh and
blood could not do the impossible, as
they were asked to d when they at
tempted to rout 5000 Sioux and Che
yenne warriors. Perhaps he was mis-
informed as to the real strength of his
enemy. At any rate, the fatal battle
was fought, and the useless sacrifice was
made.
Custer had in all about 600 men when
he started up the Rosebud river on June
22nd, to follow an Indian trail that Ma
jor Reno had found in his scouting. The
trail was followed for three days, when
it turned into the valley of the Little
Big Horn. The little army went for
some twelve or fourteen miles up the
river, where a division was made into
fur detachments; Captain Benten took
three troops. $50 men. scouting to the

same force, was sent to attack the In

feverish blood. 1t was a wild life. in -

untamed French voyageurs and half

their tales of marvels beyond the belle

Among the countless battles, great and

ration of the battle is not known: ac-
cording to the Indian reports it varied
all the way from 20 minutes to half q
day. Part of the history can be read
in the beautifully aligned rows of white
monuments now marking the crest of the
hill, each stone covering the remainJ Of
soldier who stood his ground. Only
one solitary stone is found over the
whole battle ground: that of a trooper

making known their losses. But it must
have been heavy. Two hundred well
armed. desperate soldiers, fighting to
the death, would bring terrible havoc to
foe powerful enough to crush them by
mere force of numbers. 1t is known that
there was mourning in many hundreds
of Indian homes over the battle, even
though the tribesmen won the sanguin-
airy day.
With the Custer fight, came the pra =
! teal end of the Indian war. The Sioux
had lost heavily in the field. and they
feared the power of the now terribly
awakened government. One by one the
bands surrendered or scattered to make
terms after desultory battle. One by
one the posts that had dotted the north
! west. fell into disuse and were deserted
by the gallant soldiers that made history
| in their time.
Today, there is scarce one military
post to where there were five in the
early days. and the Importance Of the
remaining ones is sadly diminished. An
era of peace has succeeded the bloody
| days when no traveller, no solitary
miner. no hunter was safe, and the
painted warriors might appear at any
moment and carry destruction to hamlet
or household. But peace cannot dim
the glory Of the early day soldiers who
beat back the red tide of carnage. AMI
made safe the way Of commerce. And
among all the heroes. nameless though
many Of them may be. highest of all
stand these who fought their fruitless
but undying fight at the Little Big
Horn.
