NITTING BULBS BAND.

Recent sdvices from our northwestern
frontier represent the situation as exceeding
~ grave, with near prospect of q general
Indian war. Sitting Bulls warriors have
wearied of their exile on British territory,
and are anxious to cross the line where game
Is more plentiful and existence less hazard
Gus. Judging from reports their situation is
not the pleasantest in tho world. The game
In tho British possessions is neither abund-
ant nor Of the variety which the Indian
Graves. The few buffalo that have been there
in the early part Of the year have already
moved southwark and deer and antelope are
very scarce. The savsges therefore greatly
fear that they will suffer starvation unless
they are permitted to follow the buffalo
This, Of course, our authorities will not
allow, for the band is in effect If not in fact
outlawsd on account of the Custer massacre
Of two years ago. Only on one condition
can they return-an absolute surrender and
oonsenting to 60 and remain on their reserve
tions. This they are exceedingly 10th to do,
and will refuse, In al probability, until hun
ger compels their submission. Until that
time arrives they will I've hunted down by
our troops and captured or shot, whenever
they venture to set foot on American soil. A
brave, discreet soldier with sufficient force
ct his command, is Watching every move
ment OF the band, and there need be no fear
but he will ultimately succeed In bringing
Sitting Boil and his warriors to terms.

THE PUBLIC DORIAN.

The Amount Of Psbltc Lands ENTERED br
Homestead Settlers for the Year Past.
The amount Of public land entered for
homestead settlement in the year ended June

an area little greater than that of the State
of New Hampshire, and considerably larger
than that of New Jersey. The average num-

is l2O. Unsettled public lands in the United
States, therefore, received population of at
least $4,000 during the last twelve months
under the op ration of the homestead law
alone. The real accession probably far ex
ceeds 100000 persons.
From an unpublished statement made bv
the commissioner of the general land Office.
it is claimed that the whole number of home
stead settlers from the time the homestead
law went into operation to June so, 1873. a
period of sixteen years, was 384,848. Allow
ing 40 acres to each settler, the whole
amount of land thus occupied was 46.l81.-
76O. This immense domain would make
fifteen States as large as Connecticut. ia
larger by nearly 5000, 600 acres than ali New
England, and it exceeds the combined areas
OF Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New York by an
area about eqsal to that Of Delaware.
In the number of homestead entries Kan
sas takes the lead with 61,O34. Minnesota
stands next, with 81 rs, and Nebraska third.
with 1862. In the rate of increase from

AN impromptu reception was given to Gen.
Ewing on his arrival at GAINESVILLE on Friday.
He made only brief speech, and in course
of it reiterated his devotion to Democratic
principles. He showed very conclusively
that the party was in accord with him on
financial questions, and that he was in ac-
cord with the Democracy. The last was the
greatest consideration, and the reception he
received was sufficient attestation that he
and his party are accepted by the people.

regret to be compelled in self defense
to take exception to your article in the
GIoBE Of Monday, headed "Sale Of Duluth

ton Of the road was bitterly opposed" and
thatit encountered ''bittsr opposition from
. large number of our then leading citizers."
That is hardly fair statement of facts. I
know of no leading citizen, nor of any citi-
zen who opposed the construction of the
road. The article was written, evid emily, to
make point asainst the st. Paul & Sioux
City road and its owners, ano to correct the in
your columns. The Sioux City road, and ita
officers. were always in favor Of the building
of the Duluth road, they were in favor of tie
swamp land grant to that company. They
werein favor Of the Congressional land grant,
and at Washington / personally aided en-
larging the limits of its grant to make up
deficiencies. Since the road has been in OBJ
Grafton I, and all connected with my road,
have never failed to give the road its full
share of patronage, and we have resisted al

Within the last ninety days have given
the Duluth line 5000 tons Of freiDht. and

" THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER"

T r | B u N E
FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be more effective agency than ever for telling
the best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But 1t saw two years ago, and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger TO the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy /;
and for the heartest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNES POSITION.
OF The Tribuncs share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win
and surest to make good President. But in this
crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hail.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than ever before to hold the distinction has
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
people. 1t secured, and means to retain it, by be-
coming the medium of the best thought and the
abreast of the highest progress, avorng the reeest
discussions hearing all sides, appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purest morality, and
using to carter to the tastes of the vile the preu
dices of the ignorant
