The estimate is taken from lu'a historical account t an expedition agaiEst what were called the '"Ohio Indiane," maile about that timet. Among the 33 tribal divisions which ho enumerates are found different band of Sioux, for instauce ' Sioux of the Meadows" and "Sioux of the Woods." They are heated "toward the heads of the MiesiaeipfM.' Their warriors enumerated for each of the above divisions are respectively 200 and 1,80- 0- 4,300 in all. It we take the usual percentage of warriors to represent one-ti- f th of the Sioux nation, the aggregate amount of men, women and children in the middle of the last century was 21,500. communica la 1829. ia a newspaper the Poster, tion by Gen-P.secretary of war. we n mi a row words concerning the Sioux. Their members then estimated were 15,011. CJen. Porter said, "'fbia tribe occupies a very extensive re gnu, stretching from the Mississippi to the Missouri, bounded on the east by u n try, and on the south the Chiprie w by that of the Sao ami Foxes.

The custom is disappearing, as they extended their conquest westward, and the different bands have less and less connection every year." If we add the then 80fKi strong who Assinabhstne are aw often railed "Assinabaine Sioux, to those who are regarded as the Sioux proper, the aggregate in 1829 would have reached 2:1,000 showing that At that time the Sioux were included under 12 agencie- snine in Dakota, two in Montana and one in Nebraska. Thus we see how widely scattered they weie. At Fort Dunlnn. to be led when tho game gave out, there were some 13500 Assinabaine Sioux. They seem to have been only the friendlior portion of the Assinabinos, and were rather intimate with whisky sellers and unlawful traders. At the old Red Cloud agency there were at that time over 9000 Ogallallas, according to the rejiorts, who had al ready almost abandoned the place, lhat was the year when their feeble beginnings in raising crops were rendered ineffective by tho grasshoppers. Among the 12 agencies wo find the different names: Yankton, Santee, Sisseton, Teton, Uncnpapas, Blackfeet, Cheyenne Uiver, ahpotons and Hanuareau. In 1882 the Sioux on the Great Sioux reservation numbered 28,333, including the Crain Crock and Yankton agencies. Beside these there were iu Dakota 3751 Sioux at Fort Berthold, the Sisseton and other agencies. In Montana 6014 Indians of the Dakota nation, a part of whom are known as Sioux. In Montana there were 1102 Sioux at the Santee and Flandareau agencies. From then until now tho numbers have remained practically the same. The great Sioux reservation has, however, been broken up into six smaller ones, and about 11,000,000 acres of land have been opened for settlement by white people. chiofs, was about 7000. ACCURATE STATISTICS not been published since the time of the but are substantially as follows: Standing Rock, 3800: Cheyenne River 3200; Lower Brule and Crow Oreek, 2500; Rosebud, 7600; Pine Ridge, 8 000; Yankton Sioux, 2000. Total, 27,000. It was t he privilege of the writer to be stationed for about three years south of the great Sioux reservation before it had been disturbed by recent legislation. Visits wero then made by him twice to the bantee people, once to the Rosebud agency and once to the Pine Ridcre. The Santees were at that time already quite advanced tn civilization. They 'dressed as white people, and appeared as well to do as ordinary western farmers that is, men who work upon their own land They had tine schools, which their chil dren generully attended. The Episcopal bishop's school near the reservation was the subject of much interest, on account of the ability of the children to read and write and speak English. The Rosebud agency Bhowed far less progress in the work ot education or civilization. The Indian agent was afraid of the Indian. and they had a very complete control over him, his family, his assistants, and ail their operations. The Indians were at that time very jolly, and our party had scarcely reach ed the agency when their chiefs nut in an appearance to welcome as to the res ervation, and to offer us a "dance. Understanding from the interpreters that we very heartily disaproved of the "sun dance," they determined immedi ately to amuse ua with what was then : called the of these several agencies have s, :oaco dance of the Indian band of Oma- - 1118. Aa the "Messiah dance had been deasJ cribed in the papers, there seems to be little difference between it and inoaanee we saw. The Indians were painted from head to foot with a variety of designs upon their chests and legs and backs. Their heads wore decked out with feathers, strips of different colored cloth, bits of fur and other small articles, combined to attract attention. They had the usual strip of "manta" about the waist, and some had, on sashes, but otherwise they were nakod. Their music was the usual drumming and singing, done mostly by outside bands who were looking on witu uensrni and cheering their companions. The dancers kept time with tho music. They had some relief when any became too tired to continue the operation, so that the plot of ground to which they limited themselves was always full. The trruntins and shouting and pars ing liko cayote3 or wolves were particu larly exciting to the dancers, and somewhat so to the strangers. It ssems that in the "Messiah dance they have sometimes added the women, who were never included in the "Oma ha." THE "SUN DANCES." witnessed bv laree numbers, say 5000 or 6000 iu a single encampment, were like the "Omaha dance," excepting mat ior several davs the Indians prepared cer tain men by keeping them by themselves, and subieetinsr them to short diet or fasting, and finally by Attaching a burden tothoir backs or shoulders with thongs passing under the Bkin like a "eeton." Sometimes a buffalo head was the bur den, eometimos a selection of lesser weight fastened through cuts not so deep. The dancer was to continue his dancing, afflicting himself by prescribed cuts and slits until the burden or burdens broke away, or until nature had completely exhausted herself. Oftene the women, weeping, would compasion-atfather, husband, the victim, if he brother or son, and sometimes they were cuts or lacerapermitted to receive the tions on their limbs as a substitute, to lessen tho anguish of the victims. These extreme dancers, whom I have called victims, entered into this arrangement voluntarily, doubtless gazing up as much as possible toward the great sun in the heavens during the whole danc- ein fact, doing anything that would give them pain. The object of it all, aa expressed to me, was mainly the atoning for what Indians considered wrong doing, and the reconciling of old grudges and troubles among themselves, and doubtless with a further notion on the part of all participants and victims, of gaining great credit for bravery, fortitude and loftv manhood. v"e witnessed the large circular en campment not many miles from the Rosebud agency, and we did everything we oould to discourage the cruel features of the ceremony, but without any errant effect.

Why not encourage those who are wrong to try again and start right? The Liberal party could do some repenting with profit to itself, and to the people of Ogden and Utah, and the people's party ought to see and accept its opportunity to cancel the past come around to the gate at the beginning of the journey, and start right. For the good of all the people, there should be a halt a return, a right otart. If one charges his neighbor with being wrong, and does not encourage him to repent and start right, it is because that one has some evil design on his neighbor. Saloon men may not endorse drunkenness, but they do not want the young men who are just beginning to patronize them to turn total abstainers they do not want them to repent and start right. Politicians prefer to have their opponents go on in the wrong way rather than to repent and start right Young men, when some man sends for a carriage to take you home because you are too drunk to walk home, and does not at the same timo or some time, try to persuade you to stop short and start right; just put it down that he is not a safe man to trust as a friend, either he is blind, trying to lead the blind if so both will fall into the ditch; or he is base, and wants you to keep sober enough to earn what money it is necessary for you to have to maintain yourself as a reputable drunkard, or he has some other evil design. The glad tidings of salvation begins with repentance. And if one is wrong there is no salvation without repentance. This is not a preacher's word for it. Every business man knows that to end right one must start right. Every man who patronizes the rail roads knows that no man can reach his destination who does not start right.
