' New York Express. 1 am told that President Harrison himself planned the general outlines of the campaign that General Miles has pursued in corraling tbe Indians at Pine Kidge Agency. When General was iu Washington before going to tbs scene of difficulty, he went to tho Capitol Capi-tol for the purpose of conferring with the president and Secretary Proctor, and it was during these conferences that ths president, I am told, said to him in substance: "Whenever we have had Indian outbreaks heretofore, tha Indians have started across the country, coun-try, murdering settlers, burning their? cabins and outhouses, driving oil their stock and committing horrible barbarities, barbari-ties, the army policy being to put small force of cavalry on their trail and follow them. Now, I want this campaign cam-paign to be a lesson to the Indians that, the United States is strong enough to surround them all, force thorn into absolute ab-solute submission or kill them all, and I want to do it without bloodshed, if possible. If it takes the entire army of t!ie United States to surround them, vou shall have it for that purpose, t do not want haste used to much as I want no mistake made in tho final reult." It is only fair to General Miles to sav that his views coincided with the instructions of the president, and that he received them withmucti satisfaction. People Best to Avoid, Dab's Letter. There are other people to beware of as well as the affable w oman. Beware of the man who wants to kiss vou because he knew your mother bo-ore bo-ore she was married. Beware of the woman who want to use your name at the dressmaker's. Beware of tho man who works hard ten days, is in an ill-temper all the timo and only amiable when he is lazy. Beware of the children who know more than their fathers and mothers. Beware of the Looks that are nasty and stupid. Beware of the people who tell the) truth at all times, because the truth it like a sweet nut it is sometimes bettei covered with a sugar and put away in a bon-bon box; then let some man with a lantern go around looking for it. It gives tho men something to do, and preserve the truth. Beware of the people who are ready and willing to do everything for you they are usually the ones who wouldn't walk from here to the corner to oblige) you. and who will regard you as material doormat on which to throw of y . the dust of their shoes. .' |
