consideration Of It The "drys" may

This is the bill the President vetoed
after IL was first passed by Congress

The War Bonnet

THE brave chieftain who wore
with such pride this war insignia
upon his noble brow has vanished
save from the pages of history
where he is
Painted and p!umed with scalp
locks flowing
And red arms tossing and black
eyes glowing;'
Accorded by historians the high
est place in the annals of treacher-
our and brutal warfare, until a
century of civilization relieves the
Indian of even this distinction"
So writes an Indian lady Of
culture and social distinction. The
words quoted are the final in des-
crip,ion of the war bonnet.
There is a touch of sadness over
the disa of the chieftain
who wore his insignia with pride,
and With this sadness accompanies
a fash of Indignation against the
''historians'' who place him high
Tin the annals of treacherous and
brutal warfare"
She we'll says, ''rhe civilized
warfare of today is but history
repeating itself in bloodier
chapter. This decade of of the
present century is lurid with deeds
not only of warfare, but those of
inhuman beasts in the image OF
man, towards defenceless aged,
helpless women and babes. The
s,eel+poiuted helmet of the Hun is
the insignia, the war bonnet
donned for q sally to fields OF
blood; wvra in village streets
where helplessness and innocence
! appear:

greenback ran terribly low, which
ever way one wishes to look upon
it. All treaties had expressly
stated that all money payments by
the Government to the Chippewas

When the first annuity payment

was to be- made the Superintend'
ent of Indian Affairs in Minnesota
and the Chippewa agent entered
into a combine to turn dishonest
penny. They sold the gold that
bad been appropriated by Congress,
aud assayed to make the annuity
payment in greenbacks.
The Indians knew the terms OF
the treaty aud they we're told OF
the premium on gold and advised
to demand gold or its premium
value if payment was to be made
in paper money.
The Chippewas refused to accept
paper money in lieu of gold dollar
for dollar. The dispute was re.
forred to Washington and the
Indians were sustained by the De-
partment of the Interior and the
Treasury.
The gold having been sold, the
superintendent and agent were
directed to pay to the Indians

premium increment. The agent
when beginning the payment said.
