SOMK oE the Chinese residents , of Choy-
Qiino , upon reading tiic notice to leave
.unless ( hey wanted to be treated to a suit
of tar ami feathers , .declared their intentions -
tontions of becoming citizens of the
United Slates , and took out their
'first papers. Tlioy were even willing to
part with their pig-tails , but they were
informed that their lirst papers guaran
teed their protection in every respect ,
and that they could not only hung on to
Uieir < | ctics but could continue to wear
their whirts outside of their pantaloons.
When this fact becomes generally known
among the Mongolians it may possibly

Nearly a year IIBI pasted plnoo thn dc-
font of the rt-pttblii-ati party In the ln
great national oonlc.st. The dlHappoint
input of the RnmpAlgn has boon nioivor
h * s mollowrd by Hmi . Opporluiiity has
boiou given for the thoughtful men of tin
parly lo l ko an honest retrospect of tin
past ami a widcrvlc of the future. Tin
platforms In the various sfato campaigns
show a.signilicanlohango. Thcro is lim
"pointing with pride" and moro dooidet
grappling with llio live issues of the pies
out. Alnuo of men lias yielded , in i
great measure , to manly crltl
eimn of measure * . There I. " t
marked tendency to rocognixo the faot
vhtch ought long ngo to liavo recelvcil
more prominent recognition , Utah the
records of tlio { tout are not the < ml >
guarrtntooof porformanoo in the fitlun
which will bo received by tlio mat * ot
thinking voters. The political harnaclt\
whoso manipulattous of caucus nnd con
Knntion drovoso many republicans torn
porarily from fcho party luivo been fowiii
la tvki5 ; hack soal.s , and their platses liavo
been suppllR < l largely liy men with brains ,
enough to apprcc3atot situation and
with nbilily enough t pnbtho-bcst ideas *
of the party into actual execution. This
is as it should be. Such n change is t (
ho welcomed by all who believe thai the
mission oE the republican purl. ;
did not begin with ( lit
Kansas-Nebraska controversy , or end
with the abolition of slavery and its mail , '
niliccnk ncldevomcnU in repairing tha
havou of war. 'i'hcro uro enough living
issues to-day to tloiniiml its attention
beside ( ho issue of who shall hold thn of'
flees. To the mas ; of the people thisiso
much less importance than the questJton
of what ideas shall prompt the admistra-
tldii of the govornment.
Tlio great problems ot a stable cur
rnnoy ; of the adjustment of the relations
between capital and labor , of the proper
stimulation of industry by indirect taxes
yet remain unaltered. It is the mission
of the republican party through prcs
and voice to cduuato the pcoplo upon
these vital topics. The Utah problem ,
the rights of the territories lo slatolioot
rogartlless of their political complexion
tho.over present and perplexing problem
of the control of corporate monopolies-
all demand honest consideration iim
speedy action. 1'oliUcal cowardice , the
fear of losing ollico through outspoken
nttoraiico , was largely responsible for the
republican defeats of last year. It Is sig
nificant that , as is usual in parties tern
porarily in tlio minority , republicans
through their conventions are daring lo
touch with strong grasp the disturbing
questions which not long since they were
inclined to handle very gingerly.
Iioadotl Dice.
Ouo by ono tlio- great Wall street gam
biers go under and yield their Heats it
the game to others. Since the failure oi
Seuoy and Ward no financial collapse so
important us that of Heath & Co. , whicl
took place last Friday , has occurred in
Now York. Among the creditors of the
linn are Jay Gould and Morosini , his pri
vale secretary , who have lost nearly a
cool million in the broken establishment
The iirm seems to have been draggei
into ruin by Henry M. Smith , ono
of tlio most daring speculators
on the street , who ranked will
Cammaok and WoorisholYor intlio | magni
tilde of his bear operations. It is ru
mored that Smith'a liuancial ruin was ac
complished by.Vandcrbilt in return for
his betrayal of Vandcrbilt's son when
they were operating together.
All'gambling is risky and ruinous , but
none is moro certainly so than the man
ipulation of stocks without the lovor.ngo
of an inside management. To predict the
rise and fall of railway securities and to
stake fortunes upon one's judgment when
the stooks are manipulated by rogues
and schemers in managers' ollices and at
presidents' desks , to suit their owii pri
vate interests , is only playing with loaded
dico. The Goulds and the Vundorbills
can make or break railroads , but the
losses in the long run invariably fall on
others while the prolils go into their own
pockets. Drew found it so , Kecno dis
covered it to his cost. In later days
Soney and Grant are the most prominent
dupes of the market , \vhilo thousands of
less well known citi/0iisha\ro ! been caught
by the wolves of Wall street and shorn of
their possessions by tlio same methods.
In no other form of speculation are
the "outs" so entirely out ami the "ins"
so thoroughly in as in the manipulation
of railroad securities. The porcnntngo
in favor of the daalr.r at llio faro tublo or
the roulette wheel is trilling In compari
son with that of the mighty railroad
kings in their great game of fleece. A
passed dividend , a dootored auditor's
statement , a new issue of watered stock ,
a dov.cn different nnd dishonest plans
whoso effect can bo discovered by their
authors , send tip or shoot novvn stocks
according to the intero.sU of the jugglers.

It is with a scnso of satisfaction , which
It is mire will bo shared by thousands of
its readers , thai the lir. ! : calls attention to
the creation of the Episcopal See of
Nebraska by Homo and the approval of
the Itight Hov. James O'Connor , present
vicar apostolic , aa Hishop of Omaha.
Hishop O'Connor , who for nearly ten
years past has graced the titular ollico of
Hi.shop of Dubinin , became yesterday by
decree of llio congregation and tlio ; i | > -
proval of the pope , the spiritual head of
tlio Catholic church In the new See of
Nebraska. Omaha receives tin added
honor in being able ( o claim , by : v title
peculiarly its own , the slroug yet simple
man and devoted churchman who has
worked so long and faithfully for the
bust interests both of church and state
within its boundaries ,
Hlshop O'Connor was born in
Ireland in 18' ) : : but has
iTnidcd 'In this country slnco his llf-
tei'iith year. KdueaUtd nt Philadelphia
and graduating from the colli-goof the
Propaganda in Koine , his labors for
nearly thirtyyoars after Ids ordination
wore nearly iqually divided between
parish work nnd Ihu great educational
li'.iTusts which were ( ! iitrusU l to Ids
eh.t.'go. In August 1870 ho wasconso *
n'liH'd vliMr apo-tolio of Nebraska , at
I'hilndcilphhi , by liUlioji Ityati , and has
mailo hi. > hoaiu in our city , from
which point hn has directed thatrcmark-
sibltultsv.elopmptit of his church in Omaha
nnd throughout the plate , which has been
so largely duo to his devoted efforts.
Kurly winning tlio respect nnd esteem of
nil sects and eli iM by Ids unassumttig
modesty , brond chnrity and Unques
tioned pio.ty , ho has rnado Ids influence
powerfully felt in our midst
in Mate and municipal questions.
Itlshop O'Connor has never failed to respond
spend to calls for mlvlco or admonition
in moulding public sentiment to the pub
lic benoiit wherever such ndvicu could
he given in consistence with his priestly
duties and episcopal ollico. Ho counts
among hi * warm friends and admirers
in this state all of those with whom ho
has been brought in contact whoso
friendship and admiration nro worth the
most , and the KKK ends sis it began , with
oongrtttularing Onmlnv and Nebraska no
les * thitn the now bishop upon a promo
tion , so well deserved , so hardly earned
and which reflects no less honor -upon
tlio recipient than upon the city nnd
Rtulo in which he has made his homonnd
with which ho will be. for Ihu future for
ever idonlifiinl ,
Opening or tlio Hills ,
In a few weeks time the Iron rails o
the Northwestern system will Jiavo
reached a point within u daylight's jour
ney of Deadwood , and after nine years
of oompitratlve isolation the Black Hills
will ho iu oloso connection with the grca
markets and manufacturing centres o
the country. At last reports the road
bed of the Klkliorn Valley branch t'ron
Chadron north was graded to the Chcy
isnno river , nnd the tracklayers Were
inifhing forward twenty miles from the
Junction. The completion of the line wil
bo nn event of paramount importance lo
southwestern Dakota. No portion of the
northwest if * moro richly endowed by ui :
luro. I'orsi.vtymllossouthof Itapid City
and extending east along the
various creeks which empty
into the Cheyenne and While
rivers are the bestand most pro
liflo lands in tha-t great extent of country
which ntrotches from the Missouri to the
Wyoming line. Wheat and oats pay
bounteous roturng lo llio agriculturist
nrhilo vast ranges sheltered hi' the fool
kills and watered by numerous springs
and rivulets , furnish ample fecdinj ,
grounds for thousands of cattlo. Dis
trcnco from the markets and the expenses
of long freight hauls have been terrible
handicaps in the past , which will be at
once removed by the whistle of the on
gino.
Hut the mineral interests of the Hills
will reap still greater bonclits from the
arrival of the railroad. Scores of mines
which it lias been impossible to work because
cause of the double expense of freighting
machinery lo the mines and era from
them , will now bo placed on 'a paying
basis. The vast mineral wealth whicl
bus lain locked in tlio mountains wil !
yield to the key of capital which can bo
advantageously employed in their de
velopment the moment that transporta
tion facilities are brought lo their door.
With the inrush of population , which is
already heralding tiio advance of the
trade , and which' will more than re
double in volume the moment Unit the
rails reach Ilapid City , every town and
camp will feel now life.
Omaha merchants do not nocd lo liavo
their earnest attention called to the op
portunity which will bo afforded them to
reach out witli strong hands into this
new Held , It is a territory which it is
theirs to claim by every precedent ol
trade and commercial advantage. Omaha
is the nearest wholesale depot and the
bc.st market for the cxclungo of com
modities. She has the means and the
ability to command tlio custom if her
mcrchunls have only the- will and the
push to seize it. Her wholesalers are
daily proving their ability to compote
with Chicago for llio far western markets.
Her .traveling men are selling every
week moro goods iu northwestern Ne
braska and are making bravo ollbrts to
keep up with the magic advancement of
a rapidly developing frontier. The open
ing of tlio Black Hills should mean hun
dreds of thousands of dollars lo this city
drawn into circulation by the enterpris
ing business mothoiis and successful en
deavors of our ictivo wholesalers and
manufacturers.
Tun Republican has al least tltrco limes as

asked anybody to go wild over Its enterprise.
It may bo.trim that the Itcpubltcnn has
moro money in Omahn than the IIK ! : ,
Its surplus on deposit in the banks or
stored away in its vaults is an unknown
quantity , It may amount , lo half n mill
ion or moro. Itutns to its machinery being -
ing worth tw'ico the value of our presses ,
there is a little dld'orenco of opinion ,
The double-cylinder Hoc in ( he Uiii'

much asull the presses iu the llepiiblican
building , and the web perfecllng press

to hear him at my ofllco. Striky wu !
promptly on li.nd ; ami , a-ftor tlio ofllcia
businesa had been disposed of , I dlrcctcc
Marshall , Iho lnlor roter , lo open him.
Taking a seat by n. table in the contci
of the olnco. Two-Striko. sat for a Ion ;
lime in perfect silence , 1 thought ho was
considoriiig the Ust batch of federal ap
noinlmcnts and did not disturb him. Ai
last ho rose , nnd , pulling his blankci
about him much as I had seen I'M Forrest
do in Motamorn long years ago , Striky
sawed the air once or twice witli his right
hand and jerked out : "I think it is good
for mo to no horo. "
As I did not wish to dispute this poinl
I remained silent and waited for furthci
developments.
"Long ycar.s ago , " continued Striky ,
"wo wero' not friends , and I. saw you at
North Platto. Now lhat I see 3011 closer ,
and can tains u good look. I think you arc
a good man , and I wunc to bo friends
witli you. I would jiko lo shako hands. "
I told Marshall to inform him ho was on
the right lay , and , as I had been com
pelled of late to make up vvith so many
rebels , I might as well include Indians ,
and , if 1m extended his dirty digits , I
would shako thorn.
After this performance was ever old
Two-Strike returned tosilenco. Hoslood
up , studying a picture of Gen. Grant ,
and apparently committing to memory
Iho eulogy of Parson Newman printed
underneath.
"STIUKY" IN" 1803 .
The last time I had peon old Striky ,
was , as ho stated , at North Plulto , in
I8i 8. General Sherman had ordered all
the Indians out from between Iho two
railroads Union Pucilio and Kansas Pa-
oilic and had given them seventeen
days in which to assemble at North
Ph'itto and go north to : v reservation ,
Spotted Tail , with some I'.OOO Sioux , had
come iu , and Walk-under-thc-G round and
Two-Striko were with him. Spotted Tail ,
as usual , was loyal , ami wanted to do
as the government required , but Walk-
under-tlio-Ground ami Two-Strike were
much dissatislled , and called old
Spotty a womau. Thcro was a
good deal of wrangling , and
\Valk-under-tho-Ground got killed. I
was always under the impres
sion that Spotted Tail had killed Walk-
uudor-lho-Ground , but Two-Slriko says
not , and told mo Walky was killed by a
dog soldier.
While we lay at NorthPlattc , Turkey-
Leg , who had staid out on the Hepnbli-
can , in violation of Gen. Sherman's
order , was in constant communication
with Walk-under- Ground and Two-
Strike. Two-Striko and Walky encour
aged the young men to run away and go
to Turkey-Leg's camp. At the end of
tlio seventeen dnys allowed by Sherman
for them to como , Spotted-Tail was
started north to Kandnl , and Gen. Brad
ley and the rest of us were entered for
ward into the Hopnlican ] country to
begin the war. Old Two-Strike sloughed
oil from Spotted Tail with about " 01) ) war-
rior.s ; anil part of my cavalry , under
Ciipt. John Alls , ( since dead ) , got after
him , and gave old Striky a mightly lively
time of it. Ho ran up and down and
across lots ; hut Mix stuck to him and at
last came near capturing the whole out-
lit. Two-Strike fled north , crossed the
Union Paoilio railroad near Ognlhilhi ,
and went into the mountains , wlioro ho
almost froze and starved lo death the
following wintor. At last ho sneaked
over ami joitiod Spotted Tail , and since
then has been a pretty good Indian , be
cause ho has had no opportunity to bo
bad.
bad.Such was a part of the history of Iho
copper-skinned and wrinkled old savage
who stood boforn mo. Having studied
Parson Newman's oration for some time
ho said :

"My heart is rery good and I.want

have thought union of late , and there are
some things I want to say to you now ,
and 1 want you always lo remember
Ihom. You.liavo . , no doubt , observed
thai land is getting very scarce in this
country , and that a great many white
people are moving west , liavo you not
seen them If"
I told Marshall to tell him 1 thought I
had noticed a few millions coming this
way.
"Y"cs , " said Two-Strike , "tho roads ,
the woods , and the liolds are full of them- ,
and they want to take up all the land.
Thov have minlo a road across our reser
vation to the Itlack Hills , and they walk
on il constantly , lam nfraid by-and-by
lliuy will want to stop on the road and
Bultlo down. That was the way they did
with the Black Hills. They lirst mudo a
road iu there , and then they settled on it
and would not go away. So wo lost the
Itluok Hills. "
"Now"Raid Striky , "I would like to
have all roads through our reservation
.shut up. and the wnilo men to stay oil'
our land. Wo have not got n great deal
ol' land , and w have a great many pee
ple. Wo do not wish to sell our hind ,
and wo ask lo bo let alone. The whlto
men have settled up to the very edge of
llio reservation ; and some of thorn , I
jjiink , are within thu reservation , though
they all claim they are not. Thuro is a
line strip ( line ) , but it is very crooked. 1
wish our reservation could bu dulinod
nnd the exact boundaries lixed. It
would bu better done now than later on.
Thorn uro not many selllers yet on thu
line , and if any of them had lo movii , It
would bo heller to move ono or two lhan
a doxen l > y-and-by.
TIIK UA'ITLHMKK.
"Now. T want to talk to you about the
; rass. There are some cattlomim on the
lower end of the reservation , and we
want , them to keep oli'our land with their
cattlo. I will tell you how they came
liero. Sonii ) tiiiiu tigo Snotteil-Tail's son

cause lie was Spotted-Tnil H son no was
chief and had power to IOUHO them the
and. But Spotted-Tail's son is not a

I am the chief , and I disapproved of it as
soon us I heard of it. My people also
lUupprnvo of it. We want Ihocalllemen
o stay nil'our reservation ami lenvo us
ilono. Maybe some day wo shall have
calllo of our own , find then we will want
joth the land and the grass.
"U'o have been promised a great many
hings wo hnvo never got. This cannot
jo because the Great ratltor is poor , but
mist ho heoatise some of his lieutenants

some corn tor them lo liv > ' upon.
"Now wo liavo a now Great I'ftther ,
and I should likn to see him. Do you
know him , and ia ho a fiiend of yours ? '
The latter query of old Two-Slriko was
a poser. I told htm Thud nnvor met tin
present Great Fnllic.r , but had heard him
well Hpokc.n of , and know lo iv dead cer
tainty ho was very fond of Indian ami
Indiana.
Striky suld ho wns glad of that , nntl
continued : "I want to see the new Great
Father , and when the fall comes wo will
go down nnd see him. Von write him a
loiter and loll him so. "
I said I know Mr. Cleveland would bo
delighted to see us both , glvu us a shake
down in the corner somewhere , and
probably kill fut dog or two for us to
eat ,
"Now , " said Striky , "I want to talk
about our children. They take them
awav off Kttst to bo educated , and I
would like to havb them educated at
homo. Why can't wo liavo schools
like tltoso in the. cant out west , and keep
our children with us , "
1. explained that , it vra.1 thought ( hat
sava go surroundings were not good for
Indian children while at school. They
went back every night into savagery , and
lost what they had gained during the day
in civilization.
"Thou. " said the old follow , laughing ,
"yon think the whlto pcoplo are bolter
than the Indians. I had not thought : so ,
and I am by no means sure of it. Vrw are
on ( he whil'o man's road and learning his
ways : but there are some things about
him I think wo had boiler not learn.
AVIUTIJ AYOMAX ANt > tNOIAN MAN.
"Tlio oilier day a whlto woman , a
young girl , a school teacher up on the
table land , said she had been outraged
by an Indian. Tlto white people beeumo
very much excited , and wanted to hanjjf
an Innocent man. They said Lone Wolf
committed the crime , but Lone. Wolf was
not near the nlaoo. Fortunately ho had
people with him all that tiny wno know
where he was and what ho was doing.
Lone Wcdf was arrested and cast into
prison , and the while pcoplo wanted to
take him out and hang him. Wo know
he. Wis : nek Riidty , but that made no dif
ference thpy wanted him all Iho same.
Lone Wolf has : v wife and child , and his
wife is dear to them and himself , so M-O
would not let them liavo him. The girl
said she had been knocked down and
shamefully treated. I saw her two days
after the crime , and wo could not find a
bruise on her , I told her to look at Lone-
Wolf and speak the truth. She looked
at Lone- Wolf and said ho was not the
man. She had never seen him before.
Wo have tlto man now who was with the
woman , but ho says it wasno crime. The
woman oousoutod so ho says. I do not
know what to think. If the. woman was
one of my own pcoplo I could tell better.
I am an old man , but I remember my
youth , and how often I could liavo
got into scrapes with wo
men if I had chosen
to do so. This man is young ! hodoes not
deny he was with the woman , but hu as
sorts most positively that she was per
fectly willing. 1 do not know what to
think of it. I wish the Great Father
would take the youncf man and kill him
if ho thinks he is guilty ; but wo tlo not
want the white people' hero to kill him.
us it will only make trouble. If they kill
the man wo will go and kill the woman.
I would not do it , but I could not prevent
it , neither could the agent.
A.K maiNi us SOLUTION OP TIIK DIKFI-
Gti/rv. ;
"Perhaps the Great Father had hotter
kill both the man and the woman. .They
are not good people and can bo spared.
I want to go and see the agent and get
the man brought here to you then yon
can send him to the Great Father , and
he can kill him if ho wishes. It was this
that mostly brought me over hero tq-ilay
though I have talked about other things.
Tlio man who was hero before you left
[ Col. K. V. Sunnier ] told me to como
right hero to the post if wo had trouble.
I luivo done so , and I am gjad I have
como , for I see you arc a friend of my
people. "
I directed the interpreter , Marshall , to
explain to Tvo-Striko thai wo really had
nothing to do with the Indians , Ihoy be
ing entirely under the control of the in
terior department , while wo were under
the war department. It was not very
clear to Two-Strike , but on my assuring
him f would do all I could for him and
Ids people , and always give them the be.st
advice I knew how , ho departed in peace.
promising to como soon again.
There is a vast deal of good sense about
this old Indian , and ho impressed me as
being considerable of a man , if ho is only
an Indian. JAMIW b.

Editor.From ] a late issue of the Omaha
Uepublican t learn that the lailnmd com
missioners have made a somewhat elab
orate report of their trip over the Union
Pacific ro.td. AtSt. Paul the commission
i.s said lo liavo encountered n strong pub
lic sentiment in favor of adding a few
compartments to the railroad pig-pen ,
and Ihoy hopefully , but always respect
fully , suggest to Mr. Callaway and Mr.
Adams that the additions bo made and
the dangerous agitation which would
naturally follow neglect of the great
American hog bo stopped. In order that
there should be no mistake in regard to
this important matter , the recommenda
tion is duly certitied to and .signed by llio.
three chambermaids to the conimisMon.
In the light of this revelation it would bo
littlu less than cruel for anyone to repeat
that llagrant bcamlal , "that Iho raijroad
