One faction is apparently as firm as the
otli v. Six government ecouts sent out
fro X Pine Ridge Sunday morning have
not yet returned.
The main topic of conversation on yes
terday was the council held on Sunday
with the Indians from the White river.
There is no dissent in the opinion as to
its value.
The true Indian requsites for life and
happiness is complete iu am unt in the
Bd Lands at their present camp. 'I hey
have an abundant supply of food, water
and wood, enough of all to last them
forever if they can maintain their posi
tion, and from what scouts and others
acquainted with the country say there
are only three entrances or rather narrow
passes leading to the table laud where
they are encamped, the table land afford- !
ing contiilerable good pasturage for
stuck. These same scouts say fifty men
could easily at each of these pusses keep
a small army at bay. Shells and cannon
balls would not afford any assistance, as
the canons cannot be tnken across these,
exterior portions of the bud land, adja
cent on all sides to the table laud.
That General Bit oke realizes the very
serious task on hand is shown from his
scheme of trying to withdraw the In
dians from this place. He possibly
thinks they will merge from this place
and nimbly tumble into the military trap
Why should they come out and leave
their homes and supplies unpiotected!
It is well known in Indian warfare In
dians do not usually bej;in an attack u
ou their enemy. Certainly not unless
they have overwhelming numbers and a
superiority of position. They know as
well as General Brooke know that trooj s
are mifsed al! about the edge of the Bad
Lands ready to advance in there if they
can do so. Then why should they be
temptectto'leave them, giving thetn credit
of a small degree of intelligence? If the
Indian is ever cunning he certainly is in
time of war, and no one is better ac
quainted with the country the number of
his enemies, etc., than he, and it seems
folly to suppose he would abandon such
a position as he possision as he passes if
f ghting is to be done.
The Indians have every advantage
they could ask in acting upon the dtfen
sive Is it toen reasonable to suppose he
will leave all without consideration and
take the field on the offensive.
The County Seat.
The latest reports from the country are
to the effect that the necessary number ol
names for the petition which is being
circulated are more difficult to get than
was at first supposed. Prominent per
sons from the west end say that the coun
try was all canvassed with the intention
of laying the matter before the commiss
ieners Monday morning last, but that
when they got in and began to compare
notes it was discoyered that they were
several hundred names short of the re
quired number, and anew start was made
over the same territory. The number of
votes cast at the last election in this coun
ty was 5,035, the necessary three-fifths
that must sign the petition in order to
call an election would be 3,081 leaving
for present location 2,054. Or in other
words there must be 2,055 voters who do
not sign the petition in order to prevert
an election. Let us see what we may
rightfully expect; Plattsmouth city and
precinct give us 1,024 votes. Rock Bluffs
2S9 out of her314 votes, Eight Mile Grove
200 out of her 242 votes, Liberty closet
300 out of her 376 votes. South Bend
will give us 50 more. We conbider the
above figures conservative as we have
allowed nothing to Manly which is fight?
ing the new move harder than Platts
mouth. There is also many business me
in Weeping Water who do not care to
build np a competitor right at their door
and who will not sign a petition. We
have been assured by men in Wabash and
Elm wood that there were men in both
i In ground of inert using the t.ixet.

Tin-Plate Mill in Indiana.
New ('unlit ( 1ml ) eoui :er.
The El wood Land Improvement
company Thursday succeeded it lo
cating there, a tin-plate mill, organized
largely by Cleveland capitalists. The
mill will employ 400 men, of whom 250
will be fckilled workmen, at wages
ranging from three dollars to ten dodars
per c"ay. Work will be begun on the
buildings at once, and the owners expect
to have the plant in operation by the
time the new turift goes into effect, or
possibly a couple of months before. The
abundance of natural gas was the great
inducement that biotight the plant to
El wood.
"There is a very comfortable profit,"
9aid one of the projectors, "in the manu
facture of tin-plates at the prices that
have ruled during the past two or three
years, and so many mills are being pro-
jec-ed that I do not look for any advance
in prices, but the new duty gives us the
assurance that the market will not bo
cut from under us by a wealthy combi
nation of foreign makers, who can afford
to do a losing business for two or three
yeais to hold the market. No American
capitalist has had the hardihood to fight
the Welsh Tin Trust since it closed up
the American mills some years ago by
sending to all their customers a circular
offering to cut in two any quotation the
American manufacturers might make."
