ton to engage in pow-wows and
drunken brawls."
This is a libel upon the members
of this reservation which cannot
he overlooked since the writer of
the letter states that copies of it
are going to be sent to Senator
Clapp, Representative Stevenson
and the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. As matter of facSs the
celebrations are carried on in a
more orderly manner and with less
liquor drinking than occurs every
day in towns outside of this reser-
walton of twice the size of this
one.
1t comes with very poor grace
for the chairman to make the
charges he does regarding drunk
en- brawls" unless be himself
wishes to set better example.
Among other personalities which
the writer of the letter INDUCES in
is this one with regard to the pub
Usher in which he says: is it not
true that you yourself maintain no
permanent residence here, that
most of your time throughout the
year is spent at Washington, D.
D., as lobbyist"
The publisher does not deny
that, with no profit to him thus
far, he has spent winter after win
ter at Washington trying to get
for the Mile Lac and other Chip
pewas what they are entitled to
from the government. but he mas
seldom if ever been there without
authority from the Chippewas of
Minnesota. The chairman, and
the person who wrote the letter
for him, and no doubt everyone
guesses correctly who it is, have
never yet refused to accept the
benefits of the work of the lobby
ist'', and we venture to say they
will be the first to approach the
office of the superintendent here
when the Indian bill now becomes
a law, to take advantage again of
his work, and for this reason at
ten.ion is invited to their future
course. Will they refuse to accept
the benefits that may come from
the work of the lobbyist" during
the past winter?
