(Copyrighted 1888.)
It had always been contended by
the citizens of Texas, that the vast
majority of the depredations com-
mitted on this frontier were at the
hands of the “good” Indians—
those who lived on the Reservation,
and were armed, fed, clothed, and
protected by the government—and
not by the wild Kiowasand Coman-
che?, who, though roaming over
this entire frontier, it was thought
but rarely extended their visits cast
of the Brazos River.
In the latter part of the spring of
1870 an official of the Interior De-
partment arrived at Fort Richard-
son, on a tour of inspection, or
rather for the purpose of prosecut-
ing some geological researches in
the supposed copper Tegiou a hun-
dred miles or more to the north-
west. He was furnished with an
escort by the post-commander, and
accompanied by two officers and
some civilians from Jacksboro and
Weatherford, and met with no mis-
hap for a few days, until his desti-

the horses which were led by the
fourth “ file ” of each rank, leaving
three-fourths of the men disengaged.
The heat was intense under the
July sun, and no water, and for
about eight hours of the long sum-
mer day that devoted party slowly
retreated and fought the overwhelm-
ing odds, until the approach of
night and the proximity of a con-
siderable stream deterred the In-
dians from continuing the pursuit.
Two soldiers were killed and left
where they fell, and fourteen others,
including Dr. Hatch, the surgeon,
were wounded, some of them very
severely; and eighteen of the cav-
alry horses were killed and aban-
doned in the fight, besides some of
the pack animals. The loss inflicted
on the Indians was, of course, never
ascertained, but was known at the
time to have been considerable, and
was so admitted by them afterwards
at Fort Sill—when Captain McLel-
lan passed through that post on our
march to Kansas. During the night
the Captain sent a courier into the
fort for medical aid and ambulancep,
and at dawn next day resumed his
march home—the Indians having
apparently had their “ satisfy,”
from their not resuming the fight
the next morning at daybreak, their
favorite hour for an attack.
As observed, tho Indians kept
one body always disengaged, as a
reserve, that as this one would move
to the attack, another would fall
back out of range, and when rested,
relieve another body, and so on.
They had our men entirely sur-
rounded and kept up a constant fire
all day, in front, rear and on both
flanks, and it is surprising that our
loss was as small as it was. All

Another Southern Outrage.
From tho county of Brazos, Tex-
as, an intelligent colored man
named Elias Mays is sitting in the
state legislature for his second
term. The Democrats have a slight
majority in the county, and they
would have had no difficulty in
preventing such a result if they
had been guilty of the crime3 against
the suffrago which Northern sec-
tionalists attribute to them. Mays

ister to France. It would go far j says that in Brazos “ between us
toward extinguishing the spirit of
sectionalism if President Harrison
should grant their desires and keep
and one soldier and tWo-TSttizens
were killed at the first onset. It
appeared from the confused account
given of the affair, that the whole
party were taken unawares and be-
came demoralized, as they, none of
them, ever claimed that the Indians
outnumbered them. The Professor
made an “ about face ” and returned
to Jacksboro—leaving the copper
region unexplored for thd* time
being.
On July 7th, 1870, Captain Mc-
Lellan left the post on a scouting
expedition, in command of a party
of about fifty men and proceeded in
the direction of the Little Wichita
and its tributaries—depredations
having beon reported by tho occa-
sional settler or cow-man, that at
widely separated localities had
taken up his abode in the wilder-
ness. Nothing occurred until the
morning cf the eleventh, when
soon after beginning tho day’s
march the advance guard discovered
a large body of Indians in a valley
but a short way off, whicbj it was
thought, numbered at least two
hundred and fifty or three hundred.
It became apparent at once to Capt.
McLellan that they were about to
a-sumo the offensive, and dismount-
ing his men he prepared to receive
their attack. [I should observe here
that the Indians greatly preferred
to fight cavalry or mounted citizens,
to fighting infantry, forthe obvious
reason that owing to their superior
and, in fact, unequaled hovsmrian-
ship, they bad their enemies it a
very great disadvantage, but with
the enemy on terra firms, they
were at a loss, for their tactics here
would not avail them against a few
determiued, dismounted men group-
ed together and presenting a firm
front. It took our peoplw a long
time to find out that a dozes infant-
ry-men with “long toms,” ri-ding in
a six-mule government wagon, were
more dreaded by the Indians than a
whole squadron of cavalry <nr ran-
gers—but in the last days of Indian
fighting or scouting, this b«>cam« the

parties of soldiers.] * * Onc.tme

skill shown by Captain McLellan
and of his coolness and courage in
the manner of conducting this, the
most important fight ever had on
this frontier, for an inexperienced
officor would have had his whole
command destroyed. A noticeable
feature of this fight was that the
Indians seemed to have discarded
the bow and arrow almost entirely,
but one of our men being struck by
an arrow, all the other casualties
were caused by breech-loading rifles
of large calibre. This went to
prove that these were Indians that
either belonged on, or had access to
the reservations and trading posts,
a fact ascertained beyond a doubt a
few months later, when Texas civil
law caught some of the chiefs, and
there came, the “ beginning of the
end.”
The soldiers who distinguished
themselves most, or at least those
whose conduct came specially under
the Captain’s eye, for all behaved
well, soon after received, from the
Secretary of War, medals struck in
their honor, and bearing their
names on the reverse side.
Mr. James Doshier, for many
years the principal guide at Fort
Richardson was in the fight, and
was also awarded a medal, and his
coolness and bravery and wood-
craft, were the admiration of the
troops. Another generation or two
and this class of men will only live
in song or story. Resident for long
years on this frontier, he knew
every landmark of its pathless woods
or more difficult prairie. Cool, self-
re i nt, modest, sober, tireless, he
was a thorough and competent
guide, and a bravo and intelligent
man. Many of the fellows that I
have know, in fact the majority of
them, that hang around frontier
posts and call themselves “ guides,”
are frauds who have no more knowl-
edge of the country or the habits of
the Indiau than could be picked up
by any one who hunts cattle for a
year or two. “ Jim ” Doshier was
not one of th>s kind—he was a
guide in fact. Young officers who
are sent out for the fiist time in
in their lives in command of scout-
either “run on” to Indians when it
is not desirable to do so, or, more
frequently still, eau3e such a course
to be pursued as renders the finding
of them doubtful.
In fact,an extremely young officer,
a fledgling from “ the Point,” is for
the first few years of his service, a
sort of unfinished boy who is not
fit for anything particularly, except
to act as recorder on a “ board of
survey,” go on as “ officer of tho
guard,” act as “ file closer” at drill,
or to perform such other duties as
may relieve the older officers from
some of the drudgery of routine. It
was for years an interesting and un-
answered question in my mind, as to
what the cadets at this period were
taught at West Point; I had heard
of the “ premium fellows,” those
who graduated at the head of their
class, and for whom very brilliant
careers were predicted, but I never
saw any of them, I think all that ice
got were from the other end—left
over, as it were. As a matter of
fact, I never saw one that could
drill a squad, ride a horse, knew
how to wear a sabre without getting
it tangled up with his legs, mount a
guard, make out a ration return, or
inspect a carbine. They generally
had a pleasing disregard for both
orthography and chirography, and
I am sure that there was not one in
ten that came under my observation
that knew or‘could compute the al-
lowances for one hundred men for
ten days. I was told that they gen-
erally were familiar with the science
of mixed drinks, and were “up” in
the mysteries of opening a jack-pot
of the present clerks are “ hold
overs ” from Republican days. The
result of its investigations and its
comments thereon are thus tersely
and nonchalantly given by the
Herald:
“Treasury—1,230 ‘hold overs,’
with §1,885,000 annual pay, and
440 Democratic appointments, with.
§550,000 annual pay.
Postoffiee—449 ‘hold overs,’ with
8550,000 annual salary, and 143
Democratic appointees, with $175,-
000 pay.
Republican office-seekers will see
in these figures cause for despair,
because Mr. .Harrison can scarcely
be asked to turn out Republican
office-holders who have survived
tho Democratic flood to make room
for the hungry who are already be-
seiging him.
Civil service reformers will see
in them cause to congratulate them-
selves that they have had strength
enough with Mr. Cleveland to keep
so great a proportion of Republicans
in office.
Democrats will wonder why,
when they came in on the cry of
Republican maladministration and
corruption, so large a number of
their opponents in office were found
by Mr. Cleveland to have all the
requisites of honesty, capacity and
fidelity.
The Alliance and Politics.
The Americus (Ga.) Recorder
quotes a member of the Farmers’
alliance as saying: “ I have made
up my mind that if we farmers
want to be successful in our organ-
ization and attain the ends we aim
at we must mind our own business.
We cannot afford to be meddling
with all kinds of legislation, and an-
tagonizing all other organizations
and occupations. If we do our or-
ganization will not last long and we
shall lose what little ground we
have gained.” This expression of
opinion is commended by the Sa-
vannah News, a paper of deserved
influence. There will be many in
the alliance to indorse it if the
members will think npon the sub-
ject. It is safe to say that an or-
ganization rarely does good if it
undertakes tasks for which it was
not specifically formed, and there
can be no error in asserting that
the alliance was not organized for
general political action or to be a
political machine. Such an idea
would be terribly inconsistent with
even the hope of success in politics,
for it is tolerably clear to common
reason that a political party if it
would prosper, must command
more votes than those of the citi-
zens engaged in any one occupa-
tion ; but the name of a trade or
profession upon the face of a polit-
ical party would segregate the
members and gratuitously array
other trades and professions against
the blazoned attempt at class gov-
ernment. Hence it may be surely
inferred that if the founders of the
farmers’ alliance had meant to en-
gage the order kneedeep in the

In the fall of this same year, 1870,

and went into business for myself
at Waxahachie, forty miles south
of Dallas, where I have a trade in
dry goods, clothing and boots and
shoes that aggregates from $50,000
to 860,000 a year.
“Trade in Waxahachie is entire-
ly dependent upon the cotton crop,
and goods are sold on credit from
January to the middle of Septem-

ers would have chosen some other

very opposite course of nominal dh
lution pursued in contriving tho
Texas movement recently known
as the non-partisan party effective-
ly if somewhat grotesquely exem-
plifies even an extreme in the de-
velopment of the cautious practical
political instinct. What the origi-
nators of the alliance planned would
inevitably be abandoned if tho par-
ty political methods were resolved
upon, and the narrow restraint as
to membership would be, for a po-
litical organization, a piece of gra-
tuitous and suicidal self-limitation.
Farmers, like co-religionists, will
continue to have different political
view's among, themselves. They
can either continue to'work togeth-
er in alliances and in ehurehes_M-
spectively for industrial, social an<f'^ x
religious ends and ameliorations,
and, of course, to influence all par-
ties in the state where specific
questions are involved, or they can
introduce warring elements of po-
litical design, rendering member-
ship intolerable to the element dis-
senting from the political pro-
gramme. In this way, however, an
originally non-politieal organiza-
tion makes shipwreck of itself and
renders re constitution of such bod-
ies in the future more difficult, as
the members of any trade or class
come to look upon their origina-
tion with suspicion lest a new or-
der prove to be another trap and
political recruiting station. The
temptation is of course, very great
in a country of universal suffrage to
bend every organization so as to
subserve various political purposes;
but the price of continued harmony
and useful existence for an indus-
trial organization is a steady and
unfailing resistance. The strength
of this purpose must undoubtedly
be found in the possession and pur-
suit of an active affirmative policy
in the industrial and social sphere.
