A prominent oftizen of Northern Ne- braska writes as follows: “A number cf persons have recently re quested me to write you concerning the con tinuance of Mr, Morris as register in the Valentine U, 8. Land office. In fact such requests have been very frequent during the Inst eightean months but I have studiously rofemned from having anythiog to do with this offair, Final'ly, I have concluded to write you briefly confining myself to what 5 |the people generally think about it. The porsons who complain of Mr. Morris, enter tain the cpinion that without your support he would have been removed some time ago and that you are the only efficlent support he has now. They wish you to investigate mat- ters, hoping you may thereby become con- vinced of the truth of the charges made against Mr, Morris, 1 write you as much for the reason that you are being held responsible for his romaining in office, thinking it may not be true, as for any other purvose, 1 have no interest direct or indirect in Mr, Morris' removal. ButI am convinced that the charges made against him as to his official conduct are believed by a very large majority of the patrons of the office, and that he is under the circumstances an incumbrance to the republican party or any individual who upholda him, Democrats and republicans alike would be pratified with a change regardless of whom his successor might bo.” ‘We cannot comprehend why the people THE DAILY BEE-~-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5 1885 knowledge and sympathy which they would necessarlly kave been deprived of if they bad served contiaually with thelr reziments.

RED CLOUD AND McGILLICUDDY. The Herald places a high estimate upon Red Cloud, and attempts to cast a slur npon Agent McGlllicuddy by saylog that *‘an Indian sgent who gets rish In a short time on $1,600 a year is not the kind of a man to control Red Cloud.” We do not know whether Dr. McGilli- cuddy has become rich out of his agency, but we do know that he ls generally con- sidcred the best agent In the Indlan ser- vice. Asa recognition of his valuable sorvices his s\lary was raisad some time sgo from 81,600 to $2,500, and as he is an economical man, whose expens:s at the agency are yery light, he is epabled to save nearly all cf hls ea’ary.

At ths timo Me, Morrls was appolnted, thls papar and lts cditor had lost theirin- flaenco with Senator Saanders, Aftor Mr. Morrls had bren confirmed by the eenato, he came home o look wup a bond, ond faillng to get bondsmea for some time ha finally appeslad to the editor of the Bee to becomoe ono of the two bondsmen requlred by law. The rizk In this cate was no greater than that incarred by the editor of the BeE when he went on the bond of E. K. Valentlne for the posl- tlon of register of the West Point land office. This is the only ald Mr. Morrly has received from us. When complalnt was made by Mr, Hill, of Valentine, that Mr, Morris was un- falthful to his official dutles, Mr, Hill was Invited to forward the charge to thls office. Thess charges, when recoived, were promptly msailed to Secrotary Teller. The only endorsement made up>n them was ‘“‘rerpoctfully referred to the Seo- retary of the intaerlor for actlon.” In due time the land commissloner ordered an Inquley, but the spacial agent who Investigated the condust of the Val- entino land office reported favorably aud the charges were dismlssed. Whon the firat dispatch about the late scandal reached this ofiice by a tolegram slgned by a sworn enemy of Morrls, we hasitated to publizh 1%, but as scon a3 hls report wag confirmed by letters from promlnent buziness men of Valeatlne, they wero freely given to the public through our columuz. 1f any well sustained charges of official misconduzt had been made against Mr. Morrls, they would have been published without reserve. With tho geueral belief that Mr. Morcds is crooked, we have no more to do than we have with hls re- tenilon In offics. We profess to have no Influence with Grover Cleveland or with any member of his cubiaet. On na'ioral issues the BEE always bas been repub'i- can, and it certalnly can have no part in appointment or removals under a demo- cratic adminlsiration. If it has been shown or can be shown that Mr. Mor:is has botrayed his trust as an cfliclal, the responsiblliity for keeplng him 1o office must be laid on tho shoulders cf the powers that be. This much of an ex- planatlon we have deemed due to the friends who seem anxtous that we should withdraw our irfluence from Me, Morris, THE VACANT SECOND LIEUIEN- ANCIES, Thaves or four handred asplring yourg men are snxioualy awa'tlag ths declsloa of Psosident Clevelsnd in regard to filliog thy vacoub s:cond Hentonansies existing {a ths lins of the aemy, The law vesp:c- l1ag clvilina apppolntmeats fn the army I roquices the appointmont of all oalen | gra witing at Wes: Poiat for the currans | year hefore the clalms of others are con- Any vacancles loft aftar thy graiuaiiog class is eupplied must first bo offured to sues worthy non-commissloned a of the army a3 shall prove them. lves on oxamination fizted to hold com- siderad. He has just been investigated agaln by Congressman Holman's committee, and wo predict that he will again come out unecatted. The fect is that Dr. Me- Gillicuddy does not caro to retaln his positlon, but ro long as euch cranks as Dr. Bland, of Washirgton, and the eastern *'philanthropiats” continuo to etir up charges and investigatlons, bas=d upon the complsints of Red Cloud, who is known to be s constant geowler and dle- tarber of the peace, he proposes to re- main whero he ls—unlegs removed by the interlor department—until the public b:- comes convinced that theee periodleal charges are groundless, The Herald's praiss of Rad Cloud and detraction of Dr. McGillicuddy wiil not outweigh the testimony of Gen. Crock, Col. Stanton, and Capt. Lee, against the former and in favor of the latter, whileits comparlson ot Red Cioud and Spotted Tail is open to eriticism. Red Cloud first came into notorlety as the leader of the Fort Fetterman massasre, and ever slnce that time his voice has been raised in favor of war and dlecord. Spotted Tall was an Indian ttatesman, and while Red Cloud was trying to create diecontent and disturbance the former was always adveeating peace. Red Cloud has always been the enemy of tho whites, while Spotted Tail was their frlend. If Dr. Miller were to visit Plne Ridge snd ece the admir- able dlecipline maintalned there, the sub- stantial Improvements that have been made, and the progres: that the Iadlans Laye made towards civilization, he would chauge his opinlon concerning Dr. Me- Gillisuddy, ander whose direction all this has beenaccompl!shed.
