'hc Sioux Indians Icing permitted
by treaty stipuIatiOus to hunt over
the same. 1t is expected that Con
greSs next winter will abrugate the
existing treaty and confine these
Indians to their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of Wyom-
ing Territory. The preselt policy
of the government toward the sioux
is likely TO result in permanent peace
and the civilization of these saVages:
The lust and humane treatment oI
this war-like tribe and the presence
Of United States troops at their aSeh-
cieS, will prevent III recurrence OF
depredatiuns which heretofore have
made this section OF the TERRITORY
uuspfe and undesirable for settlement.
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The geyscr region of the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely set apart as Il National Park,
is uuGuestiOnably the most astOnish-
ing combination of natural wonders
aud of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report of
United States gpOlOgistS, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
park shall become accessible by rail
roads-say five years hence-wc pre-
diet that il will become the great
summer resort and sdnitarium of the
continent. For Sight-seerS and lovers
of the wonderful and picturesque it
will have more attractions than
Niagara, Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there is
the best reasOu to believe that the
myrIads of hot and mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
liable curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de-
lightfulIy cool, brncing and healthful.
Observation-Disclosures
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and Intelli-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
is tn be the leading cnmmOnwcaltlTOf
the new Northwest. The school
system Of Wyoming is excellent and
ahundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several OF the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making Of
needed, permanent Improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redeemable in from ten
~ NNfIllg years anu are COllSplutIliN
not burdensOmP.
With the opening up to settlement
Of Northern Wyomiugth the tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, as it formerly has into CalifUr-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given to our mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing, will give occupation to II
large population and add much to
the wealth Of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
h~ealthfulneSS, fertility variety. and
abundance of natural riches, and the
Location on the line of the great
national thOrOughfnre, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part of the Western country, which
excells Wyoming, the youngest
child of Uncle Sam.
1t is no place for drOnes or handles;
but for hard work, honest ]cndeavo-,
and capital hacked by brains, it offers
IA wide field and a reasonably ure
reward.

THE CITY A%TToRNEYsHIp.

Colonel G. A. Hanson has rendered
his resignation as City Attorney, andt he
special committee appointed to consider
his recent statement Of city affairs re-
commend that it be accepted and bis sue
cessor nominated as 1901 ss possible.
The reason assigned for this step by
Colonel Hanson is a want Of concert be-
tween himself and Mayor League. It's
desirable that there should be harmony
between the chief magistrate and bis
official legal adviser. We censure Colo
mel Hanson for not discovering this fact
sooner. he acquiesced for many months
in a policy which it now seems he utterly
repudiated and opposed. That. opposi-
ton, however, vas not generally known
to the public. If Mr., League knew Of it
he should have demanded Colonel Han
sons resignation long ago. The
position is one Of great difficulty,
A1d 8 6rst-class lawyer will generally do
better to keep out Of it, The duties are
Onerous and complicated; yet no mar
was ever known to give bis whole atten.
ton to them, for the reason that he
knows a dozen aspirants are waiting for
his shoes and that the next new admin
istration is certain to throw him over
board for some favorite. Therefore the
City Attorney cannot entirely abandon
a practice which he knows be will have
to resume in the curse Of a year or two.
We have no idea who is suggested or
who wants the place now. The salary
may be an object with some, but the
people want to see not only a good law
yer in the place, but a good adviser, {
cool, c~lear-headed citizen Of enlarged
ideas and sound Judgment. A mere
squabble over technical bubbles will no.
meet the demands of the times. The
city is deeply involved, and it now re
mains to be determined what shall BE-
dOae and how to best employ all oul
available resources to get out h%onorably.

THR TRAoHRRs ELECrEn.

The School Board met last evening
with the programme provided by a com
mittee. which was acquiesced in by the
small number opposed, and all was
lovely. The principal business trans
acted was the election of teachers for the
ensuing year, a list Of whom appears
elsewhere. 0ut of ~sixty-nine applics-
tons only forty were elected. All the
applicants we're doubtless worthy and
well qualified. Those selected and con-
frmed as teachers are doubtless in every
way fit to fill the important positions to
which they will be assigned, and will
perform their duties in a faithful and
satisfactory amer. But we cannot
help observing hat those who had ever
dared to question Mr.. Pickett's scholar
ship or had ever inadvertently criticized
him in any way were strictly excluded.
We know of several such, and had them
in mind when writing a paragraph on the
subject Monday. This may be purely
accidental, just as Grant happened to
remove a member Of the Sioux commits
sion the other day when he found that
the man belonged to the staff of the New
York Herald. 1t has come about though
that those wko differed from Mr.. Picket
about the pronunciation of duty and
other words are left out. This simply
means that Gesler's cap when put on a
pole must be respected. The committee
went to the pains to say in their report
that Mr.. Picket was sick and they had
labored at great disadvantage in not
having his advice and suggestions. All,
gentlemen, this is, to use an expression
from Shakespeare, too thin. The Super
intendent's wishes have not been un
known or overlooked. A little exposure
Of Pieket's proposition to tax the
teachers TO get up a testimonial some
months ago may not have been forgot.
ten. That was an offense against the
inner star chamber; but human nature
is given to such things. 1t is an old
saying hat a Scotchmau will carry a
stone twenty years to throw at an enemy.
Scotch blood is very thick some years,
and this NAV be one of them. The
teachers chosen may as well know at
once that to retain their places they
must fatter the School Board, bow to
Mr.. Picket, look solemn when be does,
laugh when he perpetrates an old joke
and be mum when the administration
goes wrong. If they can do this success
fully we may expect a certain degree of
harmony and a healthy amount Of mu-
tual admiration in the ring.

stated that he learned to curry horses or
milk cows, carry a bod or clean fish.
His Imprisonment vas like that Of a man
up in East Tennessee, who kept apart
from the villagers. A stranger az
preached him and asked an explanation
Of his conduct. "0h," said be, 81 am
in Jail; here is the key now. It's
mighty hard to be treated this way just
for stealing a COW. Yes, | I am sentenced
for six months, and the jailer takes no
cart of me at all; and il didn't go a
fishing every day and pick up a little by
playing poker l reckon | would stsrye,
for all hat no count jailer cares"
Tweed's close confinement has just been
enough to screen him from the gaze Of
a curious public. He was released on a
technieality by an order of the Court of
Appeals at Albany. Yesterday he APP.
peared at the court house in New York
in the character of injured innocence.
He was finally committed to jail under
indictments and in default OF three mil
lions of dollars bail. he is confident
that he can give the bond and yet escape
the clutches of the law. There is no
telling what a man can do with a big
pile of money. The proof against him
as a public robber, perjurer and thief
who betrayed a high and sacred trust
for filthy lucre, was as plain and direct
as human testimony could make it, and
there was not one single mitigating cir
cumstance, If he escapes ii will show
either that the laws Of New York are de-
fective or that those who administer
them can be corrupted.

evening be will be entertained at the
Peabody Hotel, and may visit one ofthe
Masonic lodges. He comes here to de-
liver an address before the Masonic
bodies and the public at James Park to-
morrow, St. Johns day, the oath of
June. The interest Of the occasion will
be so enhanced by the presence Of this
eminent gentleman hat an unusual
throug Of our most intelligent people
may be expected. General Banks
is a self-made man. He was born
at Waltham, Massachusetts,, in
1916, and is, therefore, about
6tty-nine years of age. His early edr-
cation was limited and received only in
the New England common schools. His
father was oversecr of a cotton factory,
in which the son worked several years,
he next became a machinist, but soon
developed a talent as a public speaker and
entered upon aspublic career. he was
elected to the House Of Representatives
of Massachusetts, in le49 and afterwards
became a successful lawyer. In 1852
and 1854 he was elected to Congress,
first as a Democrat and the second time
on a fusion ticket between the Know.
Nothings and Republicans. This time
he was elected Speaker, after a two
months contest, and won the highest
praise for his efficiency, fairness and dig.
nifty in the position. During the war be
was a Major General. He supported
Greeley; will be a member Of the forty,
fourth Congress, and was elected as an
Independent in a strong Republican dis
trict. After the Oath it is expected tina,
he will accept the Inequalities of oui
