Springfield Times. EtEt
An ecclesiastical court convened at Cho-
teau creek last week Wednesday. for the
purpose Of trying the case of Rev. Samuel
ID. Hinman. The court consisted of Rev.
Henry Swift, moderator, Rev. St. George
Young and Rev. Mr.. Whittier, in charge Of
St. Paul's school at Yankton agency. Mr..
Fox, of Niobrara, appeared as attorney for
the prosecution.
After three days of labor over the Gaze,
the court was adjourned to meet again on
call. All the evidence offered on the part
Of the prosecution in the shape of deposi.
tions, was thrown ont by the court, and the
attorney declared. his inability to,pr oceed.
The court, however, declined 70 dissolve, and
appointed commissionersto take theevidence
TO be submitted to the court when it ;shali
again be convened. 1t certainly seems :
little strange that after more than a year
Of preparation these charges brought against
Mr.. Hinman cannot be disposed Of because
of the fact that the prosecution is never
ready for trial. There ought to be a
limit to such procrastination, especially
when during all these long weary months,
the object of this prosecution has been com.

munity at large. There is no justice 10
this unfair treatment Of Mr.. Hinman, and
the church is doing iteelf great injury 10
the eyes of the public generally BY 1t, and
is placing itself before the public in the
light of a prosecutor, rather than the pro-
moter Of christian justice. We have the
highest respect and regard for Bishop Hare
- sculturedpchrlstian gentleman, and can
not believe that he would Intentionally OF
willingly lend his aid or countensnce 10 the
prosecution Of a brother 10 the church be-
yond the limits of justice or common hui
mainly. We therefore urge upon him, as q
mstter of Justice to himself as vel: as to
the accused. to see TO it That, Mr.. Human
has q speedy trial. Let the charges against
Mr.. Human be proven, or else let him be
relieved from the blighting influences. of
Ethe withestug spectre that lurks within
their shadow. Common justice. common
humanity, common decency demands this,
and q failure on the part of the church OF
its representatives. to, do .its duty speedily,
impartially and fairly nIthe1 premises, will
bring sure. speedy. aud we'll deserved CON

Chicago Tribune Editorial, d
There can be no doubt that, In COMPETE
ton with his white brother, the Indihn Of
ten gets the worst Of the contest. In q lit
tie affair just concluded In Dakota, how
ever, the Indian has come out decidedly
ahead. There Is q small baLd oil. Sioux
whose reservation is ct Crow Greek, and
who, under the leadership Of Drifting
Goose" have~ior, several years past left
their homes ct the agency In the summer
for q grand hunt OF the James river, about
$50 miles above Yankton. They selected
one Of the very best portions of the valley.
1t abounded in game, and furnished splen.
did pasturage for their horses. They never
plowed a rod of lend, and did nothiBg
whatever to show they intended to settle
upon 1t and adopt the habits of even semi.
savage life. When THAR summer pic mic
was over they went back to their rese1va-
ton to feed luxuriously during the winter
and spring On the bounty of the govern
ment. They never have had q shadow of
title to lands In the james OF Dakota river
valley, except the pompous claim to the
fails to assert on ali occasions and under all
circumstances 1r-l
But the fact that MI. "Drihing Goose
and "his sisters, and his cousins, and hi.
aunts" have sbeen permitted to Drift away
port themselves for . few weeks in summer
in the beautiful fertile valley Of the james,
has afordedsa pretext' for, some of6eious
friends" to place the matter in such = light
before the interior department that three
whole townships have been set apart for
these WORTHLESS, yagabonds. The only effect
will be that one Of the very best districts of
Dakota will be cursed with their presence
and white prosperous farmers will be ex-
cluded from it. Not only that, but an ex-
pensive p~ub-agency must he established to
take care of Mr.. drifting Goose'tsnd his
band, all of it 3 direct cheat upon the gov
eminent, for they were already provided
for at Crow Creek. OF course the hand of
the Indian ring in Washington, with its
agencies in Dakota, is plainly to be seen in
all this dishonest business. Besides the
swag they will secure from the establish
ment of this new sub-sgency, they doubt.
les have some scheme BY which they will
induce the Indians to give up what few pre-.
tensions Of right they have to these three
townships in the heart of Dakota, and add
them 10 their own enormous aealings from
the government. This whole thing is q
base svindls and u outrage upon the PEG
pie Of Dakota. The lands are needed by
those who are coming in by Thousands, and
who are soon destined to make Dakota one
