Speaker Reed and the house republics s
generally, but the idea has so far been
very coliily received by the senators
whose recollection of the two square
knock-downs they have already re
ceived while battling for this unpopular
and unjusi bill makes them shy of again
entering the ring against the intelli
gent public opinion of the country.
NOT MUCH TELLING.
Still there is no telling what the e re
publicans may do. It is certain that if
they saw their wav clear to pass the bill
that they would again take it up.
Their desire is as strong for the passage
of the bill as it ever was, but it is the
dread of another defeat that makes them
hesitate. Democratic Senators are fully*
aware that all danger from this bill will
, be passed until the close of the ses-
ilon, and they will sec to it. that the re
publicans get do Chance to catch them

HONORABLE DEMOCRATS.

music ought to be heard when tills bill
gets before the senate and will be, un
less I am very much mistaken.
NO CYCLONE OF GRIEF.
The de eat of Senator Ingalls did not
raise a cyclone of grief at the capitol.
Unless ;he republicans attempt some
of their tficks, it is believed that all of
- the appropriation bills can be disposed
of by the 4th of March, and an extra
session avoided.
Chairman Dingley, of the House com
mittee, now investigating the silver
pool scandal, is charged with having
intimated, in a conversation with Air.
Payne, a member 0: the committee, that
Senator'Vest would never have been al
lowed to testify if he had known that
he would • ‘give away” Senator Cameron
This charge is not made by a democrat,
but by a good republican, Gen. H. V.
Boynton. Mr. Dingley denies it, and
Gen. Boynton says W. B. Stevens heard
the conversation in question. Its a nice
passes, if we could know of all that is
happening among the barbarians of the
death. Nyether would they scale a re
doubt in tho teeth of a galling fire. They
specifications. On the contrary, they
nail up in a sort of circle, sort of tan-1
talize and pick at the advancing foe,
shake their travel stained nighties at the 1
moving enemy, and, emitting a war cry
as melodious as the crampy remark of a j
cuckoo clock, they go away from them.
After the battle the Arabian papers
announce that fifteen hundred handsome
Englishmen, with beautiful sloping
shoulders and Venus de Medici figures,
have bitten the dust, while one elderly
Arabian has sprained his thumb by fall
ing from his horse and striking on the
sharp prong of a gopher hole.
But this has nothing to do with the
late religious craze among the red breth
ren.
The Indian is no worse than all other
barbaric people who scorn the sacred
and secular press. Politics may be cor
rupt and leaders venal, bnt intelligence
will win at last. It is where people do
not advertise that the bogus Messiah is
permitted to do up the people. It is
where the Washington hand press and
the primary school house yet slumber in
the womb of the future that people fall
down and worship a warty prophet who
cannot safely refer to the place where he
was last employed. The red brother, as
many of us know, is not educated. He
has for generations gone fishing in his
yonth, and in his old age died in igno
rance. That is why religious fanaticism
finds him a ready prey. That is why he
is enabled to make, as the French say,
one fox pass after another, and to fall a
ready victim to the wiles of the crafty.
The ghost dance is not likely, how
ever, to become popular at the Patriarchs’
balls this winter, 1 am happy to say, as it
is danced entirely by the males, the
squaws not being in it, as Mr. McAllis
ter, the blooming cad of an otherwise
creditable epoch, would say. The squaws
are sometimes present at these religious
dances, bnt not generally ■alkwwotT'U> par-

it is not many years since the great
fakir, EH Mahdi, burst upon the vision of
the orient, clothed m a small doily, and
announced himself as the Messiah for
whom his people had been so long look
ing And where is EH Mahdi today?
Where are all the tiddledewink Messiahs
of profane history?
El Mahdi was a shrewd youth, even in
the days when he snared suckers along
the White Nile. His mind was active
and his thoughts profound. He early
saw that the weak side of a man was his
love of the supernatural, his Diss Debar
side, as one may say. So he said to him
self ‘1 will educate myself and prepare
myself for but one object This Mes
siah business is what might be called a
cinch. 1 will arrange to appear at the
proper time for the purpose of playing a
return engagement.”
Mahdi was about the color of a success
ful meerschaum pipe in those days, with
hright black eyes, and in cold weather
ne wore cotton in both ears. This pre
vented pneumonia on damp days—a
needed precaution, especially as he grew
older and lived in a cave by himself, os
tensibly fasting.
Time went by and EH grew to man-
nood, still keeping his finger on the pub
lic pulse, and knowing that some day
times wonld be'ripe for his appearance.
are not constructed ^according Jo these i admc i th3 hill, and the bittern
wailed in the buffalo wallows; when the
killdee chirped in the low “draws,” where
the grease wood grew and the track of
the sage hen wound along the gray mar
gin of the alkali pond, then Push-me-
ta-ba-to-le-quah, etc., with a glad cry
lit out like a frightened comet, and for
a moment the air along her trail seemed
to be full of moccasins.
Squaw Jim said that one at such a time
could easily play tiddledewinks on the
coat tail of his savage bride. He wonld
have been very lonely during the sum
mer time if he had not been blessed with
a white wifa at Omaha, with whom he
dawdled away the glad summer tide.
. The Indian can never, alas! be taught
the religion of the white man any more
than he can be brought to look kindly
upon the pickled olive as an article of
food. He can no more cope with the
doctrine of the Trinity than he can raise
side whiskers or Lima beans. Personal
godliness and the use of the crash towel
are repulsive to the feelings of the red
brother. The idea of a God who favors
manufacture and industrial pursuits
bothers him, and our great North Amer
ican scheme of charitable endeavor,
which consists mostly in telling other
people how they can do a great deal of
good, confuses him.
I am pained, of course, to note the
hostile feeling now existing between my
own race and the red brother, for un
donbtedly he was here first. So also
were the centipede, and the rattlesnake;
and the north and south pole cats, but
they, as civilization approaches, will
have to retire, even as the red brother
most, before the all powerful influences
of Rum, Red Tape and Rascality.

Thus did he wax strong with his people,

of a petty sheik, and therefore nobody

Deantifnl. In the flush of manly health,
robnst and in the pink of condition,
though trained down a good deal, per
ns ps. by eating nothing but choke cher
ries and lightning bugs for weeks at a
time, El Mahdi knew the proper mo
ment to take hold of this matter and
burst upon the astonished gaze of his
people as a Messiah.
Devout, hungry and sad he took ad
vantage of man’s devotional nature,
and ekun him out of his confidence
and his watermelons. He wept over
the sins of his betters, and deplored
the undone condition of those whom
be had not yet done up. Yearn
ing for a bright immortality, yet con
stantly postponing it so -long as the
Egyptian pullets held out, El Mahdi
wont on, stringing the people from day
to day till they were ready to blindly
follow him anywhere with their eye
closed. v
War among tho Arabs is conducted on
an odd plan. It consists in deploying
scouts or pickets, whose duty it is to lead
I the enemy on for two or three months
across the broad sweep of sand which he
calls fatherland, and compelling the in
vader to drink alkali water during tlie
meantime. This course of diet does not
impair the health of the Arab, who has
no bowels of compassion, bnt instead of
serted cellar, or in summer time fasting
in a cave in the mountains, rarely eating
anything, unless perchance a katydid or
the milk of a wild ass on Tuesdays and
Fridays, all tbe time crucifying the
flesh, and thus attracting attention, he
soon reached manhood, and with the
budding of his delightful whiskers he
began to cultivate tbe press and to get
bimself written np in the society col
umns. ...--X- --
Pretty soon he began to prophesy a
little. Having a private wire in his
care, be was able to predict the arrival
of British troops about a week ahead,
and thus-his business soon grewtobrj her escort would be de trop, but in the
some of the costum^p worn at a Pine
Ridge small and early, as given me in a
private letter dated some weeks ago.
Tush-Tush, the daughter of old John-
nie-jnmp-np, the sockless Brnle, wore a
mauve drap-de-tay hat lining with breast
of bnzzard in front and side ornaments
of empty cartridges, size .44.* She also
wore ear tabs to same, cut en V and
made of muskrat skin lined with bed-
ticking. She wore an alpaca vest, with
corsage bouquet of corn fritters draped
with New Orleans molasses. Her loose
artillery trousers had a broad red stripe
down the side. She wore over all this a
leather trimmed horse blanket with eye
holes in it from St Paul. Her hair was
braided plainly down each side, and tied
en masse at the ends with sinews. Where
it parted at the nape of tho neck there
peeped coqnettishly forth a small patch
of the beautiful skin of Tush-Tush
bright and shiny as a new cent, and bid-,
ding those who were brave enough to do
so to plant thereon a large, resonant
kiss.
Standing Horse, who led the ghoet
dance, wore a United States wagon
cover on his arrival, and also threw j>ne
corner of it over his departure; bnt when
the dancing began he checked this outer
wrap, and was discovered to be dressed
lightly in a tiara of dickey bird’s feet
and a coat of shellac. He danced nntil
utterly worn ont and exhausted, when
he fell to the ground, and a tidy was
thrown over him by an attendant.
White Wings,-who came merely to
look on, as he naively said, wore a fur
cape of gopher pelts and calico shirt No
ornaments to speak of.
Jaybird, who fetched Tush-Tush to
the dance, wore a percale shirt which
wonld have been tucked into the waist
band of his trousers, if he had been
blessed with trousers, bnt the cold and
cruel winter, ah, the nipping, biting
winter, came and caught the doleless Jay
bird, caught him at a disadvantage,
canght him slightly dishahilly, caught
him shivering on the prairie, canght
him short of ere a trouser: and goose
pimples chased each other, following
fast and following faster np his limbs of
alabaster. When he saw Tush-Tush
and passed her, then he trembling
turned and asked her.
She allowed that she wonld come with
him. She said so long as they lived in
the west, what was the use of trying to
put on lugs. East, of course, she said
west, where pants do not make the man.

THE DANCE.
I presume there is a moral to the ghost
dance and bloody massacre of this sea

them is that yon cannot make a card

-cannot be worked over into a Farmers'
Alliance. Squaw Jim was a white man
who once basked in tho sunshine of my

are rich in timber, which furnishes
them a source of income. Depredations

on some occasions their own agents

chase were begun in 1886, and tbe gen
eral scheme was to concentrate ail the
different bands of Minnesota Uhippe-
was on two reservations, one at White
Earth and the other at Red Lake, with
reductions also of these reservations and
the sale of those wholly abandoned. Al
though some of the bands were impov
erished, the first Commission appointed
could.not procure the consent of^all
who would have to move their bon es
under this plan. The Mille Lacs, prob
ably the worst off, were among the
least willing to go. Some bands also
hud unsettled claims against the Gov
ernment, on account of overflows
produced by the construction of
-dams at the headwaters of the
Mississippi, which had _ ruined their
wild rice fields, their liay meadows, and
their fishing. The more prosperous
and intelligent feared that the scheme
of severalty allotment was designed to
put them where they could be taxed for
privileges which they did not want. In
the midst of the negotiations the Mille
Lacs had reason to suspect that water
was to be drawn from their lake to ben
eflt whites at a distance, and they drove
away the laborers. This last trouble
arose during the summer of 1880, a few
months after a second commission had
been appointed to effect what the first
one bad failed to accomplish.
FOUR MILLION ACRES
Under this agreement, now pending
in Congress, about 4,000,000 acres of
land will be ceded, including about
three-fourths of the Red Lake reser
vation, four entire townships of the
White Earth, and about all of the re
maining reservations. It is hardly to
be supposed that after thus yielding to
the wise Government these Chip
pewas are anxious to make
war, although they may have been
justly exasperated at gned and bad
faith on the part of the settlers in in-
L: uding upon lands n>»t yet paid for or
op> ned to settlement.
About a year ago the leading men of
the Red Lake band complained to Com
missioner Morgan that although tl.e
agreement under which they sold their
lands allowed them to dispose of the
dead and down timber, millions of feet
of this timber were going to decay for
lack of authority to logit.
This authority was granted and one
source of trouble thus removed.
Perhaps others have since been found
but, he that, as it tpay, a tribe making
the concessions which the Chippewas
have made is entitled t(
