A STALWART.
It floos'ono good -in those days of
personal politics to scan the editori-
al jpago of the "Wichita Eagle.
"Party and principles not tlie
man" is Marsh jYEurdook's watch-
word and one can see it cropping
out everywhere. In the vciy un-
ploasant fix in wJiioh 'the Jicpubli-
can party of Kansas finds. itself 'to-
day he takes.aanarily 'courageous
and straightforward course which
wins admiration everywhere. 'Marsh'
hates a holtor worse than the .very
mischief and 'lias move trespecl for
a democrat honest ;in his convic-
lions than he .has for a weak-kneed
republican who goes off after strange
geds -instead of sticking to his party
principles. Marsh Murdock never
wavers a li air's breadth. Bravo!!
"Marsh."
One of the most ludicrous'-flicles of
Ihe Lndian problem is now present-
ed io the .public in the exaggerated
reports Hying over the United States
that 'the Cheyennes tuid Arapahoes
had broken out and were raiding in
'Kansas. On Wednesday ast a tele-;
gram originatingat Camp Supply'
went flashing over the wires that a
small hand of Indians numbering'
eighteen bucks and ;lvo pquaws
were seen a))ovc Supjly traveling
north and were -huitohki) to !(
'Northern Clieyonnes bound .north
regardless of their recent pledges 1to
awnit the action of the department.
Acting Agent Woodrerd .promptly"
investigated thc matter through "the
Tndian )olice and-could hear of no-
'Indian leaving tlie rcsorvaiion with
hostile intentions. The above tele-
gram 'Caused the greatest excitement
along the border and the go-vemor
of Kansas sent tlie adjutant general
down to where the 'Indians were-sup-posed
Id be raiding in Kansas. Jlo
could find no blood nor signs of
blood and lelegnrphed back to that
effect. A compamy of inilitia are
out at Garden City Sequoyah Co.
and Dod'e City and other "towns
prepared to send out companies of
Tolunteers. The cattlemen up north
west prepared to receive the hostiles
if they approached and everybody
in the state of Knnsaf could feel
their hair rise at the impending
danger from wTmt? "Eighteen
bucks and two sffiiaws" not known
to be CheyenneB traveling north
near Supply. While tho people of
Kansas are deserving of commenda-
tion for -their prompt steps to repeal
invasion yetrfthope living among
the Indians the whole affair savors
d
eeply of a ridiculous farce starling -pmatn and official violations of Htf-

Last Saturday ovoning observing
Supt. Hirschlcr of the Arapahoe
mission 'leading a detachment o'f
IndiaivboyS'Oiit toward the river
we resolved'toseo the fun. So fol-
lowing along wo saw the boys
marched out on a sand-bar and
hailed. They were soon uncoupled
and shell their clothing with a speul
that could not be excelled by
crowd of while boys. Tho river
which was only half knee deep at
this point was soon' filled with dusky
forms and such running splashing
ducking and rougliKind-tumblc play-
ing as look place could not well be
described. The human porpoises
were enveloped in--ji perfect cloud o'f
foam and spray. As t this was tl.io
regular weekly bath a luiuiber o
pieces of-soap were put to use and
added fifty-per. cent-to tho ludicrous
appearance of theseeno. Finally
the crowd were ordered out jumped
inlo their clothing and marched
back to the mission. We failed to
see the. most interesting part of tho
programme as 'it istho custom to
march -out 'the school girls in the
same manner in charge oiUheir ma-
tron. We would like: much' to have
seem this; part oiUhe proceedings but
failed to sec the matron marching
out her charge.

sense -of -the Agent's instructions.

To
the average frontiersman this will be
innnflonf-'o : but there are those who
fthhik something better can be done
wilh not a few Indians' than toshooT

within thelast years. After such
an experience it is rather to be won-
dered nt that its members allow
themselves to he civilized on imy
terms. The exaril truth abotlt the
Indians is thnfcmany thousands oT
them may be 'rendered harmless and
self-supporting in a very few years
by such methods as Agent Arm-
strong's. A good Agent is tlie first
requisite. Tho second is the con-
firmation of the titicB'of the Indians
to their lands even though it takes
an army to maintain them Jn pos-

lands or sold tor tho Indians bene
