MAKING MUCH OF THE HOSTILES. As things are the hostiles will be made much of. The curious public is now flattening its nose against car windows that it may the more plainly see the men whose hands are red with the responsibility for the blood of those sol- Giers who perished at Wounded Knee, and ins little while officials of prominence and even the President himself will be greeting them with more or less of interest and enthusiasm. One or two of these Indians have done a little work, but the great majority have not only disdained to Inboy but have been sarcastic and continuously annoying in their references to those who were trying to earn their own living by following the dictates of the Indian bureau. Suits of cioth- ing will be provided ‘for the dignified idlers who will soon be in Washington, and they will be well fed and well cared for while the loyal and right-minded Indians whose allegiance to the white man's government has never wa- vered will be shivering and hungry at Pine Ridge. ‘The situation has been turned upside down. This reversal of the proper state of af- fairs will certainly be regretted by the authori- tice in the near future, for no reasonable being expect even friendly Indians to stand by a government which officially discountenences their importance and practically sneersat them after they have been conscientionsly obedient to the behests of those who are in power at the seat of government. A premium has been placed upon savagery and misconduct, and the results of such policy must soon be evident. DISCOURAGING THE INDUSTRIOUS, Can it be that the Indian bureau does not want to make the Indian industrious and self- supporting? Impossible. Yet that is just how the present system works. Again and again durlag the past two or throo weekshave I heard itsaid: “Ob, the Indian bureau may say it wants the Indian to become self-supporting, but any rightly applied effort in that. direction would make that bureau velf-destructive.” Re- marks of thet nature I have always regardod as more or less slanderous, but it is undoubtedly e:ident to the most casual observer that the present plan works as though the slur hada reasonable foundation. Pine roserva- tion is divided up into farming Seciewund the most progressive of these subdivisions ix Porcupine district. There a large number of Indians struggle annually with a perverse soil and uncertain meteorological conditions. Some of these Porcupine Indians have sold cattle and purchased farm machinery with which to se- cure the greast possible return for their Iabor. Others have hauled freight for the agency and for traders and with the proceeds have im- Proved thelr holdings very materially. These men are here, while representatives of the lazy and hostile marauders—murderously inclined tramps—are being clothed and feasted and treated with every comsideration, After awhile the delegation will return to Pine Ridge, wearing the black clothes and white has which any Indian would give al- most anything to possess. They will be intoxi- cated with their own imaginary greatness and will very properly continue to despise those who are fuolish enough todo right. To be anything in the eyes of the authorities at Wash- ington an Indian must be actively bloodthirsty and utterly worthless. ‘The conclusion is irre- sistible in the mind of any one conversant with the facts. there was a ready market. Those Indians who were not inclined to farm hauled freight from the railroad or enlisted as scouts, and not one ever proved disloyal or went back on his word to me. Then we gave each family 160 acres and not one of then but raised hay enough for their own stock and had a surplus to sell. Of course my time was pretty well occupied, but that was to be expected. No man who wants to have an easy time should ever attempt to be an Indian agent.” BUFFALO BILL'S INDIANS. There are probably halfadozen sound methods by which the Indian may be civilized, but none of those which have been practiced on the Sioux seemed to amount to anything practical when this trouble sterted up. Among the first to join the hostiles were a number of Carlisle and Hampton boys and they were the last to accept the peaceful overtures of the authorities. Ta marked contrast to the extrsordinary behavior of those who have been xo carefully educated was the conduct of the red men whorre univer- sally known as Buffalo Bill's Indians. The facts in the case are not stretched at all when the stetement is made that but for these lat- ter the hostiles would probably have been out today and in greater force than when — they _ surrendered. has been said that had Cody's Indians been here during the ghost-dance excitement they would have gone with the crowd, but there has been nothing in their actions since they arrived here which would warrant any one in making such a remark. From the day of their arrival they connivel ce and told of the power and numeric: ngth of the white race. They were constantly in communication with the military authorities through Maj. John M. Burke, and under his direction did valuable service of a character that will not appear in the records of the war. More than’ Atty of these Buffalo Bill Indians were actively engaged in endeavoring to secure harmony and no little credit belongs to them. Some of the more prominent of these are Rocky Bear, Black Heart, Little Chief, Strike Plenty, Long Wolf and White Hiorse. ‘American Horse, who aspires to the supreme chieftuinship of the Ogallalas, has behaved fairly well at times, but he has talked so much on both sides of the question that a good many people bave lost all e fuith they ever had in him. He is for Amcricen Horse twenty-four hours in each day | and 365 days in all years but leap year; then he is satisfied with 966. Ina not tov specific way American Horse was with the government, but he did his best to conceal that fact from the hoetiles. Were he going to run for could not be more thoroughly full and suave duplicity. THE BRULES AT FORT SHERIDAN. A good many of the honest people here hope itis not true that Gen. Miles intends keeping the Brules he took away with him to Chicago at Fort Sheridan. Lote of folks would be glad to learn that all the Brules had been removed from this vicinity, but they sincerely trust that no duplicity has been practiced on any of the parties concerned. Aa idea has been in cirenla- tion since the general's departure that those Brules who accompanied him will not be al- lowed to return, and that poor aud nervous or- ganizati wro he of gentect ‘ht up over the rumor. ff a dozen Indian policemen and a num. ber of warriors who were fighting the tro, week ago were today discussing the terms of agreements which bad been eutered into at various times between the United States and the Sioux nation.
