Sioux City Journal , Augu t 14.
The Sioux chiefs nrrlvctl yesterday
on the train from Yankton.
There was Hod Cloud : the veteran
i johlot lof the Ogallalas , clad in n wool
lint , a black alpaca coat , moccasins
anil a cano. YoungManraidof -
His-Horscs , second chief of We snmi
band , and Sword , captain of the
'Ogallalas ' , .
The Yanktonais of Crow crcol :
wore represented by Wizi , their old
war chief , White d host and Buffalo
Ghost. Thcso thrco form a dusky
trinity equal in power and glory , for
there is no ho.id chief among the
Yanktonais. The management of
tribal affairs ia mittunlly committed to
them , something on the llomnn con
sul equal partnership plan.
Standing Bear , the old chief of the
Boston Poncas , headed the embassy
from that tribe. Mr. Bear and his
band have had no annuities since
leaving bleeding Kansas , and so their
raiment is not up to the Indian swell
standard. The loader of the band
that made Schurz so much trouble by
returning to the hunting grounds of
their fathers was dressed after the
manner of a homesteader who had
lost two seasons' clops by grasshop-
ors. His second chief , Old Smoke ,
-and two head men , Bird's Head and
Buffalo Chips , were not bettor clad.
The garb of Chips was a very seedy
cqtton coat , a pair worn , brown duck
ing overalls , and a much-battered
chip hat , with bcadloss moccasins.
All the Poncas carried tomahawks ,
which murderous weapon contrasted
oddly with their garb.
But tlio center of attraction was
WHITE THtmiEK ,
the solo representative of the Brule
band of 7,000 souls , and the successor
of the recently slain Spotted Tail.
White Thunder is a largo , woll-builfc
man , about 50 years old , with a kindly
face shaded by glossy black hair that
hung to his shoulders. This hair was
not like that of the Indian usually.
It was wavy , almost curly. Tlio re
porter had a good opportunity to sea
him as ho sat by Rev. John P. Wil
liamson of Yankton agency at the
writing table in the Hubbard house ,
dictating a letter to his wife at Rose
bud agency. The chief was clad in a
long alpaca coat , broad-brimmod white
hat , blua trousers and moccasins. His
not unpleasant face was wreathed with
an ample smile at times as ho dictated
the message homo.
SPOTTED TAIL'S DEATH.
The interpreter , Rev. Mr. William
son , utter ho had finished writing the
letter , granted the reporter a few
minutes talk about the death of Spotted -
ted Tail. Ho know nothing about
the matter personally , lie said , as ho
was stationed at Yankton agency , a
long way from Rosebud , where the
tragedy occurred. All that ho know
lie had heard from the Indians who
caino in with him. Spotted Tail had
stolen the wife of a lame member of
his tribe , whoso naino ho did not re
member , and consequently had been
keeping out of the sight Af his people
for several days previous to the time
sot for leaving for Washington. But
on the day of the killing ho came from
his own houseto the agency build
ing. After finishing his business
there ho started on foot to go to the
council tent some little distance
off to have a final talk with his head
man before leaving for Washington.
On his way ho was mot by Crow Dog ,
who was driving in his wagon. Crow
Dog jumped to the ground and level
ing his gun shot Spotted Tail through
the body , the ball entering on the
right side and passing through the
heart came out on the left side. Spot
ted Tail made a motion as if to draw
his revolver from his pocket , advanced
a stop or two toward Crow D < g , and
fell dead. Crow Dog jumpeU into
his wagon and drove oil and had not
been soon since about the agency ,
There were no words between them ,
Spotted Tail when a young man , before -
fore ho was made made chief , having
killed a brother ot Crow Dog.
Henry Foiltonollo , one of the Oma
ha delegates , had talked with the
Sioux since their arrival. Ho said
that from what ho could hoar Spottoti
Tail's having
HTOLEN THE WIFE
of the lame Indian had nothing to do
with his killing , Tlio abduction hat
boon settled by Spotted Tail sending
the injured husband four ponies
Crow Dog had nothing to do with the
matter ono way or another. Ho hac
a quarrel of his own , and ono of loii { ,
standing. This quarrel had boon revived
vived by the dismissal of Crow Doj ,
from the position of captain in the
police force , which dismissal ho attributed
tributod to Spotted Tail's influence ,
Ko disturbance is likely to follow
Spotted Tail's death. Rov. Mr. Wil
liamson said White Thunder , the
second chief , had boon quietly elovatet
to the vacant throne , and matters were
likely to go on as before ,
KEMOVIMJ THE PONOA8. *
Inquiry among the Indians developed
oped the fact that Poncas are opposet
to the schemeof removing them fron
their old reservation , to which they
claim a right under treaty to a new
reservation , to bo purchased of the
Omuhas. Spotted Tail in his lifetime
had promised them that they shoult
never bo molested by his band 01
their reservation , and they had relict
greatly on his influence at Washing
ton to secure the consent of the gov
ernment to remaining. They were
vnry * solicitous to know if White
'Thunder , his successor , was as friend
ly , but so far had drawn no expression
irom him on that point.
mOM AX OMAHA STANDPOINT.
Henry Fontcnollc , nnd intelligent
and woll-'educntod Omaha , whoso no-
iito manncis nnd light complexion
dhows traces of the enrly French oc
cupation of the Missouri valley , looked
over his oye-glnssos to say to the
reporter in very good English thnt
the Onmhns were not favorably dis
posed to soiling a part of their re-
icrvation to the government for thn
use of the PUIICIM. If the I'oncas
came to thmn naked and hungry , as
; ho Winnobngoes did , they would take
: hem in ns they hnd the Winnobagoes.
Unt the Potions have a good reserya-
; ion of ttheir own , nnd nro not willing
: o Icavo it. Ho know this from
what some of his tribe hnd lenrned
while on n visit to Spotted Tail's
camp some time ago. If they sold
any of their land they would prefer to
sell it to white settlers. They had
sold part of their old reservation to
; ho WhmcbaqoGs , nnd the Winneba-
toes had stolen 140 of their ponies
The present members of that tribe
"aid the thieving to the roitogiulo
ncmbors who have gone back to Wis
consin , but the Onialm hnd lost the
) onicH all the same. Under the treaty
ivith the government , which treaty
, hu Onmlius had always kept , the
government was to protect the tribe.
[ f this meant anything it meant that
: ho government would prevent other
ritics from stealing their ponies , nnd
ho claim for these stolen ponies
vould bo urged during the visit to
Washington.
LANDS IX KEVKltALTY.
In regard U taking lands in sever
ity the Omahns appear to bo ripe for
his coasuro. This tribe has the ad-
vantngo of other { ribes in this part of
, hc west , having never boon moved
'rotu the homo where they were found
> y the earliest white explorers. When
Jowis and Clark's oxucuition cama up
.ho river in 1604 the tribe was found
lear the present town of Homer , just
lorth of the line of what was lifter-
ivnrds their reservation. They havo"
ilwys been at peace with the whitrs ,
and so their progress toward civiliza
tion , though slow , 1ms boon
steady. Their neighbors , the
Winnobagocs , have been discouraged
somewhat by their frequent removals
jy the gavernmnnt from ono reserva-
ion to another , and so are scarcely
yet ripe for takiag land in severally ,
ihough when the matter is presented
to them , backed by a gentle influence ,
they can probably bo brought to see
the need of retaining only ns muoh of
their reservation as they can use , and
liaving the balance sold for their bene
fit. The up-river Sioux are scaroly
civilized enough as yet to abandon
the village system and go on separate
'arms of their own. The matter will
jo discussed , however , at Washington ,
and if possible an entering wedge in
serted.

AB there was no Illinois Central

The Indian Question-
The Louisville Courier-Journal says ,
editorially ; Maj. Gen. John Gibbon ,
colonel of the Seventh infantry , in his
prize essay on the Indian question , to
the study of which he has devoted u
good deal of lime , after sketching the
liistory of sur j rind gradual encroach
ment of the whites up6n the once vast
Indian domain , nnd the bad results ,
morally nnd lothcrwiao , to the rod
brother , arrive * at the conclusion that
it is inevitable that ho must go. Gen.
Gibbon takes the ground that , while
this is true , it is the boundcn duty of
the government to clothe and feed the
Indians honestly. If this is done , ho ,
ns an officer with experience among
the Indians , asserts that there will bo
no more Indian wars. That this is
true is evident ; for there has not boon
an Indian war during the last twenty
vcnrs ( in which 'such wars have been
both numerous nnd expensive ) which
was not caused by the starvation tac
tics of the Indian bureau and the
mean greed of Indian agents and
traders. Gen. Gibbon makes the fol
lowing suggestion ;
The location and surroundings of
pur Indian tribes nro so nearly ident
ical with those of our frontier garri
sons that the most natural suggestion
is , they should bo supplied under
essentially the same Bjstom. Our
troops , no'mattor howjrcmoto or how
isolated their station , are always sup
plied in a satisfactory manner with
good , wholesome food , and it is only
when unexpected moves tnko place or
now posts nro established that nny
dilliculty arises , and it is them only
temporary. The army system of sup
ply and distribution is so well under
stood by the members of thin institu
tion that is needless to dwell upon if
any further than to remaik on the
perfect system of responsibility en
forced , Uimor this some commissioned
ofliccr is always held to account foi
every ounce of supplies received foi
the the use of the troops , and the
troops never need ho badly supplied ii
the commanding ollicer attends to his
duty ; and not oven then unless the
other ollicors at the post neglect theirs.
I risk nothing in the assertion that no
such system of responsibility exists in
the Indian department. Without
reference to individual commission
ers , I am satisfied from personal obser
vation that not only have they IK
such system in the Indian department
hut so tar as I have been able to dis
cover they do not in the dopartmeiv
understand the practical working or
value of such a system. In the tota
absence of any such system , how is it
possible for the Indiana to receive
either in kind or in quantity , the
articles for which congress oppropri
atea the funds ? Any business mai
can answer this question without the
least hesitation , and yet in the Indiai
department they do not seem to ap
irccifite , or if llioy clo , thVjr illtorly
nil to net upon it. I will illustrixto
\liat I menu by iclntini ; n
itory 1 Imvo hcnrtl in the west.
i makes but little dillorcnco
vliothor tlio story bo Iruo or not. It
night very readily bo true utulor the
nek of system in the Indian depart-
nont , nnd it wilt servo to illustrate
nnny niniilnr transactions coming tin-
lor my personal observation. A herd
of cows nnd calves to bo used f r do-
nostic and breeding purposes started
'or n , distant n.oncy. When it reached
hero it was composed of nil the
broken down o.xon nnd yearlings that
could bo picked tip along the road.
Vll the good cows ivud calves had
> ccn traded oil'on the way ; but , ro-
narkablo to relate , the number of
tend was exactly richt , and , as long
11 the number as right , the rocoiv-
ng nitcnt inndotno objections , or , if
le did , lie was , in western phraseol
gy , "inndo all right , too. " Now ,
inder the nnny system , any such
rniisnctionould be impossible , and
my second lieutenant can tell you why
t would be impossible. Let. us , then ,
lave the Indian department n system
> f rosHiu ilility ns near ns possible to
hilt followed in the army. Attempts
iiivo been mmlo at various times to
nako use of army ollicers to check
uch louse transactions ns I have ro-
erred to , but the result has been
either that the cheek was inellectnnl.
or , where frauds were detected unu
ho guilty parties discharged , others
rero appointed to the vacant posi-
ions , and the samu old loose system
commenced again. In some instances
ho inspection of supplies by the army
illicer was carelessly performed , in
ithors ho was called upon or not to
napcct , at the pleasure of the agent ,
and the Inck of inspection never
seemed to make any dlllerenco in the
icttlomcnt of the agent's accounts.
Then , of course , the inspection
as a whole can bo no check ,
ji one notorious instance
a most shameful attcmut wns
undo to bribe the inspecting oflieer to
> ass a worthless lot of stores. There
no means of knowing how often
such attempts Imvo succeeded , 'but ' the
result has been that the Indian de
partment nnd the army Imvo become
intagonistic. The former seems to
consider itself placed on the defensive
on all subjects ; and it is but too apt
6 regard with suspicion and distrust
any' suggestions coming from army
ofifjcrs , Tim interior department
inVo charge of Indian alliiirs , its head
nust necessarily have the chief de-
decision of questions arising in ro-
; ard to Indian matters , and it not
infrequently happens that important
nilitnry questions allecting tiio pro-
cction of our frontier settlements
arc sometimes decided by the score-
ary of the interior in Washington.
The general believes that Indians
under military charge make more
rapid progress in civilization than
.inder any other influence , nnd ho be-
ioves that the vast majority of our
250,000 Indians can bo justly nnd ad
vantageously disposed of by making
ihom a pastoral people , or herders , an
occupation to which they naturally in
cline , and in which they have greatly
> rosporod wherever they engage in it.
Wo believe Gen. Gibbon is perfectly
right about the advantages of military
control of the Indians. Had the In
dian bureau been transferred to the
war department six years ago ,
; hero would to-day bp very
loticcalilo quiet and improve
ment among the Indians. Under
; ho present system they arc contin
ually cheated and exasperated and
driven to hostilities. Under military
control they would get their supplies
is stipulated , and bo rid of the pccu-
ating trader and treacherous agent.
[ t is , of course , useless to feed and
clothe Indians and let them live in
dleness. The proper way is to set
: hem up in business as herders nnd
formers , for instance , and let them
oiow that they are expected to exert
; homselves to the utmost to supply
; heir own ivanls. Father Stcplmn , of (
Port Yntes agency , whore Sitting Bull
las been taken , said a few days ago
; o a St. Paul I'ioneor-Prcss correspondent
pendent :
There is but little encouragement
in trying to induce an Indian to work
under the present policy of the inte
rior department. When they have
enough to oat their ambition is satis-
ied nnd they will do nothing. As an
illustration , I will refer you to my ex
perience. When I took chnrgoof this
igcncy the Indians had scarcely
enough to eat , and , as a result , they
cut and sold that year to contractors
2,400 cords of wood. Now they have
a plenty of everything and will not
work. Last year 1 received § 700 and
this year § . ' 500 to bo expended in hir
ing Indians to chop wood. The gov
ernment authorized mo to pay them 8 ! )
per cord or an inducement of 5 cents
> i cord more than contractors pay.
The result lias been that I have hud
tri refund the money to the govern
ment in both instances. The Indians
seem to think white men are their
slaves , and they often como to my
oflico window and ask mo to get up
from my desk and hand them a match.
My opinion as to a proper policy
would bo to give an agency Indian
160 acres of land and issue rations to
him for five years , with the distinct
understanding from the very begin
ning that after that time ho must
provide for himself. To hold the In
dian legally responsible for all depre
dations against each other , or against
the white men , and vice versa , would
have a beneficial oiled.
Father Stephan'a RUgccstions are
good. At present an Indian is not a
person , and has no legal responsibil
ity in theory. The Canadian system
makes him legally responsible foi
criminal nets. The plan of issuing
rations for live years with the under
standing that the Indian is , after
that , to tuko care of himself , will no
doubt work well in a majority o (
coses. Some Indiana , like Sitting
Dull , cannot bo induced to do any
work whatever , but the very greal
success of the Five nations in Indiar
territory as farmers and stock raisers
is evidence enough that the Indian ,
under proper incentives , can become
a producer , The most valuable fea
turoof the present Indian policy is
the education of Indian boys ant
girls at the government schools it
Oregon , Pennsylvania and Virginia
There in a world of hope for the In
diuns in the education of those chil
dron.
