INTRODUCTION.

INTRODUCTION.
We are constantly in receipt of
letters from parties in various por-
tons of our country, asking for in
formation in regard to Lake county,
in order that they may be enabled
to decide as to whether they will
come and make their home with us,
or not. With a view of having an
answer ready for them ut all times
we have prepared the following.
and intend to let it remain in the
STAR for some time to come-a
gratuitous publication for the gen
cral good. First, as regards the
soil OF our county, we have fine
variety. consisting of rich bottom
lands and the lighter, yet far from
worthless sandy soil ofvast "plains."
In the hard wood region we have
AS fertile clay and gravel soils as
can be found anywhere. The prices
of unilnprpvcd lands range from
Six to Fifteen Dollars per acre,
according to quality and situation.
There arc now no government
lands very near the railroad 1.-THE
Flint & Perc Marquette, which
runs from cast to west, near the
north line Of the southern tier of |
townships) that arc unoccupied;
IT'LL, wild lands are so cheap that

LAST week there was n sharp de-
bate in Congress on bill to pro-
vide general amnesty for all lead
rebels during the late war: jeff.
Davis among the number. Repub-
licans contended for the point of
leaving Davis out; claiming that it
would be no more than justice to
allow slight mark of his country's
dlspleasure to rest upon him, by
simply preventing him from ever
again participating in the govern
ment of the country he laborcd so
hard to destroy. The rebel cham
pion, Hill, Of Georgia, speaking in
this connection, says, "Martyrs owe
no apology to tyrants," and Aaunts
dehantly the pennant of rebellion

Illuminating Oils.

Some time since we received a
circular from A. A. Day, State In
spcetor Of illuminating oils, and
intended ere this to call the atten-
ton Of our readers to the proyi-
sions of the law enacted by our
Legislature, last Nay. The act in
question provides for u State In
spector, and establishes a system
OF inspecting and testing oils by
means OF. a .''closed chamber" and
differing entirely from the "opcn
commercial test" used in Ohio and
elsewhere. The law prohibits in
spcction by any other method, aud
the sale within the State of any
oil not so inspected. The punish
mcnt for violating the law is fine
of five hundred dollars or impris-
onmcnt, or both, at the discretion
of the court.
The object of the law is to secure
an honest oil for use in the State,
and to prevent as far as possible,
accidents and conAagrations. Ev-
cry barrel of oil sold must bear the
Michigan inspection mark, or the
dcalcr.is liable. BY purchasing
1902 oil, Soho Inspection tho
dealer becomes liable, because lie
is offering and vending an oil about
twenty degrees below Michigan
test. The State Inspector is au-
thorizcd to prosecute all cases of
infractiOn of the law. 1t is well,
however, for our citizens to be on
their guard, for the sole considera-
ton of personal interest and safety.

sistency of Sitting Bull prevents the
dissolution of the tribe.
This gentleman with an anomalous
name-for sitting bull is out Of all
order-possesses character which
should command certain degree of
respect among white men as well as
Indians, for, according to General Terry,
he is most consistent savage. Always
cherishing bitter enmity against the
whites, he has steadily refused at all
times to enter an agency or draw ra-
tions from the Government. He has
avoided treaty-making councils, and
peremptorily declined to sign all
treaties that were made, regarding
every such a compromise as an ignoble
condescension unworthy Of his race.
The Sioux will never submit to the Gov
ernment with his consent, and it is
probably only in the event of his death
or capture that they can be brought to
terms.
General Sherman proposes q more
rigorous prosecution OF the campaign,
and says he will dog them until they
succumb, evenifit takes all winter and
far into the summer. The Indians,
being an improvident race, are almost
powerless during the winter months,
and it is safe to say that the campaign
will be chiefly one of pursuit on the part
of the troops and OF retreat on the part
of the tribes. When they have finally
been hunted down and gathered under
the protecting wings of the Government,
the next question which will natur-
ally agitate the public mind Is;
What shall we do with them?
General Terry, whose experience has
been with the gentle savage in his natu-
raj state, SCOTS at the idea of making
him an agriculturist, as in his very
nature he is opposed to work, and can
not be made to work. He suggests that
they be removed to the Indian Territory,
supplied with cattle, and permitted to
lead the pastoral and nomadic lives ol
herdsmen. Still, the ruling passion
would reign in their breasts, no doubt,
and the temptation be constantly before
them to wander away with their kline
In this case, dear General, while the
herdsmau watched his herd, who would

THE INDIAN SITUATION.

Now that the campaign storm has sub.
sided and the political clouds are soon
to clear away, the voracious American
mind will Immediately begin to feel
about for something else with which to
appease its sensational appetite. 1t be-
lakes itself to the Indian question as
naturally, we might say, as dack takes
10 water. The negro question, which SO
long was the life of politics and the joy
H journalism, has been snugly tucked
lway in its final resting place, but the
Indian, thank Heaven, we have with us
always, and whensOover we will we can
turn to him for entertainment and a
little wholesome excitement.
General Sherman, expressing himself
apon the result and present Indian
troubles, says that since the victory Of
Miles the war and its results are mainly
determined; adding, rather facetiously
"It is only question OF time, as in fact
it was from the beginning" There car
be no doubt, however, but that the
strength OF the hostile tribes has de-
parted, and that the warfare will hence
forth be continued by them altogether
on the defensive. They have lost all
the confidence with which they were in.
spired by the destruction of Custers
