Too Much Nonsense

Tlie followlng article taken froin the Detroit l'ost and Tribune, calis attention to a fault of our people which needs amputatlng. Thcre is too much twaddlè and silly sentiinentaüty and too little stem business about soine of Uncle Sam's cuildren : "Sitting Buil. having surrendercd to the United States after he found that freedom in Manitoba meant freedoin to starve or else go to work, and that, at any rate, it didn't mean freedom to scalp anvbody or to makc a living by robbery, was at once feasteil, made i lion of, allowed to have crowds of fools solieting and buying hia autograph, and paying big prices for any trinkets he had to sell. He was allowed liis choice of whether he woiild ride on a steaiuboat, ruil car, or by wagon. A railway company oflercd liim the use of a paltoe car, and he s treatod as if he was t gmt mi, a kinjí, or ¦ hero, the adnnred guest of the nation. AH this is well calculated to feed his sa vage vanity, and to teach other savage chiefs that the wav to become a " big injiin " and be given miiny presentí by the white tolks, and be supported roj'ally by the white man's governïnent, is to inakc one's self notorious for killing white soklieis ;iml niurdering white tetüen. One of the reuona why Sittinj; Buil eomei back to l'nitril States instead of staying in Manitoba, was because tliere was none of this noueae about the British governmeiit n'cnts. Tlicy treuted him as a dlureeaUe, rorins savage beggar, who plainlv told that he must behave him.-elï, who not given any pie-nt, tod was nut trtated at all as a grmt man. lic prQbably never woiild htTe returned to be lupported at our expensa it had been sure that we would treat liiin as the üiiti.-h did."
