Iloth hiad received warnings from the White Caps, but paid no attention to tliese rnot ices, rather boasting t hat they "couild clean out. a reglileritm of those 'Whip l'ps,'" as they teriied the knights of the switch. At a quarter before 12 o'clock on Sat irdaY night, as Irown and 14-ard were enjoviig their ciups at the saloon, the White Caps suddeilly poltneed down on thvin.

The Story of the Expedition Which Cost the Lives of time Famous Chief, of sevenl of His Followers mnd of Five of The lin d1ian P'olice. ST.\NN lOti A;I-NCY, N. Dak., Dec. 17.--"God Almighty made me; 3od Almighty id not make me an agency Indianl, and I'll light and die lighting before any white man can mako me an agency Indian." This was the declaration intde by Sitting Bull to General Miles on the occasion of their first meeting, and the detailed reports of the great medicine man's death which began arriving at the agency yesterlay gave to the de elaration the full force of a pronhecy. All eyewitnesses agree as to the facts that every circumstance considered, make the final tragedy involving the extermination of' probably the brain lest Indian that ever Iived one of the most pietuiresiue and characteristic incidents of American history. The expedition which started from this agency for Sitting lill's caup for ty miles distant, to take him dead or alive, with the ehances ten to one of his death, was no haphazard forav of semisavago Indian polico and ill-advis ed army -ubordinates. It, is conceded that. Lhe operati,n against Sitting Iull's personality was suggested by the efect ftual cuelling prodlced by the re moval of Miedlinie Arrow, the great Cheyenne leader, when the Cheyennes threatened an unprecedented uprising. Sitting Iull's promise to (lie lighting hatl much to do also in shaping the letermination for a stidden, decisive ri-sult, a.s well as t he old chiel's oft-ex pressed wisih to he remembered as the last Ildian oin the continent to givei up his rille. When (eneral Miles left, 'hicago headed inl this diret ion it was tihe beginning of the end. Siimtltaneous with the (eneral step f-ing quietly aboard the train at the big r-kilroad depot at. Chicago the ixpeill t ion, which had been with equal quiet tile iinder preparation at Fort. Yates, which forms prlt of t lie ageicy. was lso re-atly to move. Alimlost at the saile moinent I hat tieneral Miles's car glided it for t he Nort hwest the- mem h,ers of his little comn'and here silently took their departure and were qitith lost in the darkn'es that enveloped th'e wildcrness stretching to the camp of Sitting Bull,on the banks of the Grand River. The van was led by men of Sitting Bulll's ow\n b1looi, Su perbly mounted and accoutred, every one wore the bright brazen buttons -mil showv blue cloth uniforms of U'i le Sami's strv ice. This was no mere coincidence. It was tk be part of the great object lesson to the ghost dancers and a demonstration o" the valuo of General Miles's new method of solving the Indian problem by turning the Indians wholesale into s 'diers. One t hi ng is certain, the band of wtAlfel, warmly clad. coi,-per fa(d ahletes that led the way for the white diers 1,ent on a tm'ion of uility WAS a triking contrast to the starving, 7..gged, crazy wretchus that fortned s:h a imenace in the Grand River al.

Candler, Congressman froin Georgia, says no movement hav ing a bearing on the polities of the day has ever assumined such prop)rtions in so short a time as has the Fariners' Movement in the United States. A sniall cloud, no larger than a man's hand at the iniatiguratioin of the last. presidential campaign, so simall indeed 11 not oitly not to alfect bit not ev(i to attract tile llot ice o1 the two donlinalit political parties, it has grown aind spreada al darkened till it overspreAds the whole political horizon and arouses the gravest apprehensions of the lead urs on both sides. Nor are these apprehensions groiid less. This moveient of the ti lers of of the soil is the legitimate outcoine of a plernicious systeli of financial legisla Lion, which haus prevailed for nearly [l.irty years-a system which has ili losed. onerous taxes, fostered inlolopo lies anld depleted the currency umitil it lias well-neigh destroyed the calling of the tarmer. That, the millions of farmers aid farim laborers should rebel against snch i system is not astonishing. They will succeed in securing redress, provided .hey are governed by wise counsels, and iot Ied into chimerical schemes and fi iancial heresies by leaders whose ambi ion for place or pelf is stronger than ]heir patriotism and loyalty to the true priniples of the reforin in which they ave engaged. But the just and prop.e lemands of their order, a more abund. int, eirrency, lower tariff taxation, free ind unlimiited coinage of silver, the lestrulction of (lie national bank mo iopoly and all other monopolies built ip and fostered by the present systvin, ain never he attained through the Re nildaii party, for that party is respon ile for all the vicious legislation of xhiclh they complain; nor through aI 'third party movement."
