Little WOand wants $4,000 for


Hunting Privileges, and Cries


About IL.


RED CLOUD AGENCY, September 70,
VIA. Fort LARAMIE, September 22.-
At 1890 this morning the Indians sent
word TO the commissioners that they were
ready for another council and the com.
missioners at once proceeded for talk.
The first speaker was Little Wound, who
said yesterday he heard some
thing that made him almos:
cry. He always considerd when the
Great Father made arrangements for
railroad through the Indian country,
he would pay for it for fifty years. lie
considered this his own country, and
when he was told yesterday that he was

was not for one band, but for all the bands
for all time He wanted the President to
givethem each year three kinds Of wagons.
He wished that all white men were
married into the tribe to live with them
and that it was not possible to send them
away We wish you 10 give S25 each
year TO each of our women and children.
He wished the white men living among

was willing to sign the papers the Com
missioners had brought here, on condi.
tion that while the young men were gone

here should be ted. We have been for

they had already received for hunting
privileges in Nebraska.


Bishop whippIe Replied,
that with reference TO the things asked for
they are all more provided for in the
paper, they are asked 10 sign the COM
mission, and will use all their power to
secure raLionS for them through the WIN
tel. With reference To the annual goods
the commission could not say when they
would get here, they might now be on
their way, and the commission would
write letter to-day about the matter.
As for the white men married into the
tribe they would

but that white men who came here to
stay few days and do the Indians in
Jury would not be allowed to stay. Little
Wound then said that the Indians de-
sired to 90 TO Washington and see the
Great Father, and also wished copy of
everything said here given TO them, so
that there would be no mistake.


Col. Boone then said full copy Of all
said should be given them TO sign as soon
rs the secretary could make it out.


Bishop Whipplc said for them to
select the Indians they wished to sign the
treaty, and it would be presented to them
in a body, and in the meantime provi-
sions for the feast would be given them.


Little Wound said he had said nothing
about the $4,000 promised them for
hunting rights.


Judge Gaylo. said that the President
tried TO get it for them last winter, but
couldn't. The Commissioner would do
the best he could to get it for them this
winter. The Indians then said they
wanted the chief and two head men of
each tribe to get ready to sign the treaty

THE NOMINEE.


Governor Hayes has been classed by su-
perticial observers among those who rise
to eminence by luck rather than merit.
Without attempting to discuss the relative
proportions of these two elements in the
makeup OF his career, We may taiely as
sert that Yesterday was the luckiest day Of
his life. The Democratic party, with that
genius for laundering which has been its
strongest characteristics for sixteen years,
came to his rescue with q nomination
which secures his election beyond the pos
sibility of a doubt. Ii the men who NOM
mated Gen. Hayes at Cincinnati had the
privilege of naming his competitor also,
they would have been lacking in either dis
cretion or sincerity if they had not selected
Samuel J. Tilden, for the simple reason
that Mr.. Tilden represents less strength
and more weakness than any other
man named as the probable or possi-
Bile standard bearer of the Democratic
party-les strength because of his
utter inability to carry any one of the
doubtful States, and more weakness because
of the intestinal strife in New York, which
guarantees the electoral vote OF that State
to the Republican candidate. With the
single exception of William Allen, no man
was put in nomination yesterday who was
more certain of defeat than Mr.. Tilden.
Hendricks would have inspired the West,
and Thurman would have inspired the
party. Tilden will inspire neither the Sec
tion nor the organization, except with a
forethought Of inevitable defeat He rep
resents nothing but quarrel between Tam
many and anti-Tammany' leaving the lat
ter victorious, but leaving the public in
doubt as TO which il the more honest.

vast majority Of the intelligent masaes will
wonder why the dirty linen of New York
politics shiuld have been washed in st.

of Democratic underwear, and to the es-
pecial glory of the individual requiring the

that the building was afire. They came over

Main streets; but the morning clerk de.

he has never borrowed from any lawyer in Atch-

the case himself, insisting, upon his own con-

Rustic. . writing to the Southern
Rm'dl Gentleman, says:


In many sections OF the country tho
early corn is failure, especially where
the plowing has been shallow and the
cultivation Indifferent. How can We
meet the deficiency? We must provide
in some way against it, and this can be
done by planting large turnip crops for
fattening our hogs and feeding our cat
tie during the winter. Then we must
prepare our land and SOW good crop
of wheat, rye and oats. The wheat will
make bread for our families, the rye is
fine for stock, and the oats, if sown IN
the fall, will come off early, make a
heavy crop and come to our aid when
our corn CRIBS are getting low.


Oats of the winter varieties eaouid be
Gown thicker than spring oats, ANA when
sown in the fall make much heavier
crops. These measures must be resort
ed to, if we desire to raise our meat and
have a good fat team for our farm work.
Had we good clover and grass fields for
hay and .pasturage for our stock, 1t
would not be so necessary. but DOW 1t
is an imperious necessity for those upon
whom the drouth has fallen. The hand
of Providence is forcing us to diversity
our crops and not depend on corn and
cotton alone.
