whole subject once and forever. Tho
decision was so unanimous that
there is no possibility Of its ever be.

Ono Reynolds was sometime since
indicted in the Courts of Utah for
having contracted bigamous mar
riago. He was tried aud found
guilty. He applied to the Supreme
Court Of the Territory, aud finally to
the Snpreino Court Of tho United
States. The Supreme Court Of tho
United States recently affirmed the
Judgment Of the lower Courts ana
decides that Congress had the power
to pass laws prohibiting polygany

aud that such laws are Constitution.

The opinion 10 the case was long

grapple with that clause Of the Con :.

The Court holds that the plea of re-
Ggious conviction is not valid de-
fense for the violation OF any general
law for the protection of public or
private morality any more than it
would be for violation of tho rights
OF property or the security OF life or
liberty. 1t is settled, therefore, that
Congress did not transcend its con-
stitutional powers in passing laws
for the suppression of polygamay in
Utah. Justice Field dissented so
far as related to the admissibility of
certain evidence admitted in the
Lower Court, but upon the main
question of the constitutionality OF

THE ADMIssIoN or UTAH,

The New York Times has discovered a
conspiracy of the Democrats. A Republi-
can newspaper that cannot discover con-
spiracy at least once month is of no ac-
count whatever, and ought to be read out of
the party. Most of them can send their ex-
plorers out and discover conspiracy every
ten days or oftener, but these possess ex-
oeptional enterprise. But this latest discov-
cry is one that will fairly cause the hair to
stand on end "lke quilts upon the fretful
porcupine.'' It is nothing moro nor less
than conspiracy to admit Utah into the
Union as State-a most atrocious, even dia-
bolical, scheme to give the latter-day saints
a State government and representation in
tho two houses of Congress.
This, of course, is another exhibition OF
the total depravity of the Democratic party,
for no other party would be guilty of such
an infringement of the rights of the people

Colorado, Nebraska and Nevada as States

Death of Former 11innesotian t., tho

To the Editor of the Globe.
DEADwooD, D. T., March 25.-Judge Henry
Hill, former we'll known Minnesotian, died at
his residence in Leaf City Monday night last,
of softening of the brain, and was buried here
to-day. Deceased was born in Conway, New
Hampshire, May %, 1929, and was admitted to
the bar at Chillicothe, Ohio, whittier he had
gone when child. In 1865 he removed to Min
nesota and, locating in Stearns county, which
he represented in the legislature during the
sessions of "a, '65, '66. In 1869, he having
removed to Meeker county, he was again
and such distinction that three years later, his
home being in Chippewa county, he was for
the third time elected to the legislature. He was
very active in the organization of Stearns and
Meeker counties, and beloved by all who knew
him. He immigrated to the hills in june
1876; was prominent member of the first
convention, having for it's object the organiza-
! the hills country; and was ever active
| in the prosecution Of that effort. He was elect
ed justice of the peace for this district at the

school board he became its clerk, which posi-

fall. Deceased was widely known,
and commanded the respect of one and all. His

form, he being member OF that order, and
was the most imposing and largely attended of
any in the history Of the hills Interment was

THE PEOPLE COMING.

And Croohstor the Center Where All Do
COngregate.
To the Editor of the Globe.
CRooKsroN, March 29.-The tide of en-
migration so long expected has set in with q
rush, each train from the south lands scores
of anxious land hunters, and immigrants
with their teams, implements and household
goods, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs,
and the scene about our depot is one of busy
life.
For the past few days the weather has
been warm and pleasant, and our farmers
are putting in their seed with bright pros
poets for crop. The acreage sown this year
will exceed that of last year by many thou
sand acres, we hope next fall to have thou
sands of bushels to sell.
There is probably no city in the State at
the present time that exhibits more substan-
tial evidences of growth than Crookston, nor
is the surrounding country neglected several
carloads of horses have already arrived for
breaking teams, and these are but the ad-
vance guard of the main force.
All along the railroad line north of here
the country is full of land hunters, and every
day thousands of acres of Uncle Sans
domain changes hands, and every day the
throHg increases, all anxious for farms.
There are yet plenty of vacant lands within
q few miles of the railroad stations, of q
quality not inferior to any in the State, and
little farther away fine selections can be
made where there is an abundance of timber.
If this rush continues until next fall you
may put Polk county down for &c, 900 people
in 1880.
shall be pleased to answer all letters Of
inquiry enclosing stamp. FRANK IVES.

IMPORTANT ORDER.
Uniting the Red Lake and White Fart
Indian Reservations.

Uniting the Red Lake and White Earth
Indian Reservations.
very important executive order reached
Gen. J. Il. Baker, surveyor general, yesterday.
which is Of general interest to settlers. Under
date of March 18th, the President orders that
the Bed Lake and White Earth Indian reserva-
tons be united and to this end boundary lines
are run from the White Earth reservation
northward to the other reservation, and the
land thus taken in is to be incorporated in the
one reservation. This takes in the greater part
of triangular slope of land between the two,
and includes township lat, range 81 to AZ in
elusive, and townships 148 to 149, range 80 to
AZ, inclusive, making in all about thirteen
townships which are to be added to these reser-
vations in such manner as to unite them.
The following saving clause is added, which
is quoted in full from the order:
Provided, however, that any tract or tracts of
land included within the foregoing described boun-
dares the title to which has passed out of the United
States government, or to which valid homestead or
presumption rights have been attached under the
Laws OF the United States, are hereby excluded from
the reservations hereby made.
| This order takes all the above fertile district
| out Of the market. But the supposition is ad.
vanced that the consolidation is only preImi-
| nary to release of the Grow Wing and Leect
Lake reservations. Or in other words, treaty
measures will be undelt taken to get the release
from the Indians and to put these valuable
tracts in the market.

stable. The first vote cast by Nebraska for

President amounted to about fifteen thou
sand; of Nevada about sixteen Thousand; of
Colorado about twenty seven thousand. The
Republicans were very indignant because it
was suggested that these States were ad-
mitted simply to increase the Republican
majority in the two houses of Con-
gress, and they are now as indignant
when the Democrats consider the expediency
of admitting Utah as State when it con-
tains voting population equal to all three
of the States named combined.
We do not know whether any one has
seriously considered the question of the ad.
mission of Utah as a State. We have seen
no intimation of the fact, at any rate. But
there appear to be no objections to
such course, provided few precautions
are taken. Utah has sufficient pop
ulation to entitle her to representation as a
State. OF this there is no question. The
only dispute is as to the policy of admitting
her while she retains the institution of polyg-
amy. We do not believe that the Demo-
cratic majority will take any action in the
matter that will not accord with the moral
sense of the community. If Utah is admit
ted it will be under certain conditions, and
the chief of these will be the adoption of a
State constitution which shall forever forbid
the practice of polygamy. With such CON
stitution no one can object to the admission
of the territory as State. Whether such
admission will prove to be partisan advan.
tage, however, is open to question. The
vote Of the territory Ihas not, thus far, been
reliably Democratic, and there are no guar
antees that it will be so in
the future. If the action alluded t.
is taken, the Republican party would stani
an equal show with the Democratic party
even better, for the practices of the leading
lights in that party are more in accord will
Mormon ideas than are the practices of the
Democrats.
After viewing the matter deliberately, we
confess to be unable to see in what respec,
the admission of Utah, under the restrictions
named, is an outrage. Her people are Ger
tainly entitled to representation in Congress
They are more numerous than the citizens
of Nevada, Nebraska and Colorado whe1
they were admitted to swell the Republican
majority. If the admission of Utah is a,
outrage, then the admission of the othe
States named is doubly so, for they had no
half the claims that Utah has. We are in
clined to the belief that the Times discover,
is q large sized mares nest.

THE PORT'OF ST. PAUL.
THE MUNICIPAL COURT.

In this court, during the month of March,
1874 criminal cases were disposed of. Of this
number eighty-seven were vagrants-tramps-
who got sentences ranging from four to twenty
days on the rock-pile There we're sixty-tive
DRINKS, unadorned or ornamented with q COM
plication of disorderly. Eleven cases of lar
ceny, of which two of the offenders, girl and
boy, were sent to the Reform school, and two,
Lawrence Fox and Charles A. Squires,
were held to the grand jury. The amount of
fines collected was $518.50.
THE POLICE FORCE.
During the month the police force made liz
arrests, besides being employed on tours of in
quiry regarding liquor licenses. At the sta
ton 481 dodgers were accommodated or an
average of over sixteen men each night were
crowded in a small, poorly ventilated room
measuring eight by twelve feet. During the
month no serious robbery occurred, and for the
minor thefts which happened the thieves were
promptly arrested and the pro lerty restored to
the rightful owner. The only excitement of a
particular nature which has arisen was caused
by the immense number of tramps who in
| vaded the city during the early days of the
past month. Vigorous measures and persist.
| ent search by the police soon expelled them
| from the city, before they had time to commit
any heinous offense.

MR. HAYES is surprised that he is not re-
cognized nowadays as "the government"
And we'll he may be. It has been the custom
for SO many years to recognize the man who
occupies the executive Office as all that the
government consists of, that return to the
original idea that Congress and tho judiciary
have rights, at least CO. ordinate, is calculated
to create surprise. The idea of creating a
centralized government may as we'll be aban-
doned. It can have no part in our present
community, for men have got hold of the
reins of government who have very little
respect for it.
