The Hack Hilis Tcrritsry,

The Black Hills people have given formal
expression TO their desire for territorial gov.
ernment. Tho thousands who gathered at .
mass meeting in Desdwood the other day were
unanimous and earnest In expressing their
wish for the establishmsnt OF the proposed
Lincoln Territory according TO the provisions
OF the bill which was unauimously reported
from the Senate committee at the last session
OF Congress. Every practical man In Congress
will sec the necessity Of govsrnmsat for shs
Black Hills. Tho Dakota government has
sent few law officers out to this region,
but they are looked upon a. carpet
bAggers, and their authority Il constantly
disputed. The Hills at present arc In . hope
less state of lawlessness, and unless the
United States authorities, through Congress,
provide Territorial government for the In
habitants Of the new Eldorado, anarchy and
confusion will prevail, greatly to the detri-
ment OF the development of the rich resources
OF the charmed bourne. There arc no risks To
run iu establishing Territory for this region,
and everything to be gained. There Is No
responsibility In making Territory, while
there Is great deal in making . State, and
for the sake of the peace and protection Of
American citizens, Congress should not fail TO
do its duty In this respect.
