PO am oO ree BEN OF eiOT is and warlike as the Apaches, but of far greater numbers and higher intelligence. They were the Sloux (or Dacotah) tribes, inhabiting ——_— what was, half a century ago, known as the great Northwest. As early as the war of 1812 the Sioux took up arms against the United States in the latter's struggle with Great Britain, Later, the tribes were pacified and treaties were signed. In 1837 the Dacotahs ceded to us all their lands east of the Mississipp! River for $300,000, and our missionaries at about the same time went out to educate and generally uplift them, As pioneers began to fill up the Middle West, the Sioux In 1851 sold Uncle Sam another slice of land—35,000,000 acres—for $3,000,000. They kept for themselves in this tract a “reservation” twenty miles broad by one hundred and forty miles long. “ Then trouble set in, The settlers ruthlessly cheated and otherwise molested the Sioux, The government failed to keep, in full, its treaties with them. Hatred (ever near the surface in an Indian nature) flared up against the white man. The first serious outbreak occurred in 1854, whem an army Heutenant, Grattan by name, went with a small detachment of troops to arrest a Sioux malefactor. He rashly attacked a native village and his whole force was cut to pieces. Then parties of Sioux “braves” took the warpath and spread devastation throughout the district. Oe Gen. Harney met them in battle ittle Blue Grattan's Water, Sept. 3, 1855, and defeated them. A council Force and a new peace treaty followed. For a brief time there was peace. But, two years later, a war party ma r Destroyed. 3 forty-seven white settlers at Spirit Lake, lowa. This o_o + atrocity was followed by a series of wholesale murders elsewhere. The climax came in 1862, when the Sioux, under their Chief “Little Crow,” declared general hostilities. They were angry because of a misunderstanding in the matter of money due them from the Government and on account of frauds practised on them by traders. So they rose in a body with the jntent of wiping Minnesota ar of all A careful reading of the Court of Appeals decision in the Coler five- cent fare case would lead to the belief that the proper way to secure the 5 white inhabitants.

PASS IT NOW! AVING heard from their constitu- the Assembly Railroad Com- mittee has voted to report The Evening World's Five-Cent Coney Island Fare bill, introduced by As- semblyman Wagner. — This _ bill should be promptly passed. The question whether the Public Service Commission also has the power to order a five-cent Coney Island fare can be easily prevented from becoming a complication by the Public Service Commission act- ing at once. ‘The officers of the B. R. T. who appeared before the Assembly com- mittee in opposition to the bill argued that it was not the business of the Legislature, but of the Public Service Commission. If this is the only argument the B. R. T. has to offer, what difference does it make to it whether either the Legislature or the Public Service Commission, or both, order the five-cent fare? the prairies also went to war. But they were at last beaten into submission by Generals Sully and Sibley, who rescued many women and children held prisoners by the savages. More than 1,000 Indians were captured and {it was resolved to make of them an example that should warn the Sioux in tuture to respect our Gov- ernment. So 333 were tried, found guilty and condemned. But of all this number only thirty-nine were actually put to death for their crimes, The others were finally set free. Treaties were then made with nine Sloux tribes, promising them certain immunities; but in the same year (1866) a war-party cut off and destroyed Lieutenant Fetterman and his company and besieged For. Phil Kearny, ‘At last, however, the campaigns against them were so hotly pressed that many of the tribes fled to Canada and others settled down to a life of peace. For a few years there were only a few desultory outbreaks here and trere, Missionaries and teachers were busy among the half-tamed savas asada better understanding on both s.des seemed at hand.

This ~ —~—~+ did not at all suit the Sioux, and Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and others of their chiefs were obstinate in their determination not to be driven from their homes and they incited their followers to join in the refusal. Negotiations were attempted by President Grant, but tha Indians set so great a price on their lands that the deal fell through. Ill feeling was again stirred up and war recommenced. A war far more dramatic and tragic than any of the preceding Sioux conflicts. No matter by whom the five-cent fare is ordered, the B. R. T. will! bring a test case in the courts.
