The Republicans of the House have &C.

The chief stock in trade of the Repub

During the war Brick Pomeroy published a
disloyal paper at La Crosse and was i'm

the real sentiments of the North were. In

JAY GOULD signalized his financial ''ruin"
yesterday, by securing controlling interest
in the Wabash railway, and by locking up
eighty-one thousand shares Of stock of the
company to secure the possession in per-
petuity. BY this move, his previous control
of the Kansas Pacific, and a combination
with the Missouri, Kansas & Texas and the
St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern roads,
Gould has secured an independent line to

FERNANDO WooD may not be acceptable to
bis associates or the country as chairman of
the ways and means committee, but his joint
resolution yesterday for the appointment of
joint select committee of three members
of the House ways and means committee and
two of the Senate finance committee, to sit
during tho recess to consider what changes,
if any, should be made in the present tariff,
was eminently wise aud judicous. That
there is a necessity for such changes, is the
sentiment of nine tenths of the American
people, and the sooner the robbery of the

tective tariff, the better. We trust Mr.

Which Will Show Up the Ways That are

bill in equity of considerable interest and
Importance was filed yesterday in the United
States circuit court by M. Billson, United
States attorney. The suit is brought for the
cancellation of patent issued for certain
lands in Wabashaw county. Although there
are only eighty acres of land covered by this
particular patent, there are said to be quite a
number of tracts in Wabashaw, Dodge and
Goodhue counties, the titles to which will be
controlled by the decision in this case. The
bill alleges in substance that Antoine Buisson,
being half breed Sioux Indian, and having as
such, under the provisions of the act Of Con-
gress of July 18th, 1854 which provided for
the survey of certain Sioux lands in Mime
sofa, received scrip emitting him to enter 80
acres of such lands, he located the same upon
the n11a of se14 of sec "a, town 109, range II,

about Jan. 22d, 1873, Canute H. Brown, Isaa,

and to procure q patent for the
same to be issued to them
selves. That in the pursuit of such unlawful
purpose said D. G. Shillock presented to the
officers of the land department a false or forgee
affidavit and power of attorney purporting tt
be signed by said Antoine Buisson, setting
forth that the scrip above mentioned had beer
stolen from him and that the location of th
same upon the lands above described was no
his act, and asking to have such location va
Gated and the scrip restored to him. That act

FREE TRADE OR TARIFF.

The people of Minnesota are having the
question of free trade or tariff brought pretty
practically home to them, owing to the new
tariff established by the Dominion govern
ment-a tariff which almost shuts US out of
the trade of Manitoba. Heretofore The
tariff question has been looked upon as an
abstract question, and not a few have frank
ly admitted that they could not comprehend
it. There is nothing like practical business
to aid the understanding. When Mime
sotian undertakes to sell resident of Mani
,toba an agricultural implement and finds
that the tariff is twenty-five per cent. ad va
loren, and that consequently the dealer in
Toronto or Montreal can pay the difference
in freight and undersell him, though the
articles have an extra haul of 800 miles, he
begins to see what a tariff means.
The fact which is being developed, that,
though the government gives away the land
in Manitoba, it is cheaper for the immigrant
to buy his farm in Minnesota and locate on
this side, speaks volumes. After he locates
in Manitoba he must either pay an excessive
tax on almost everything he buys, or else he
must pay heavy freight bills for bringing it
through in bond from some other portion of
the Dominion. This is the style of "protec-
tion' which our own protective tariff people
have been urging and securing for years.
1t is the style OF protection which every poor
man in this country is paying to-day. We
cannot properly find fault because We are
shut out from Manitoba. We have set such
an ercCllent example to our hitherto free
trade neighbors that they are at last meet
ing Us on our own ground, and giving us q
very practical dose of our own medicine
There is practically Chinese wall raised
between Minnesota and Manitoba, and an
iinsu.ense trade which naturally belongs tc
us passes through and beyond our reach.
This is one practical development, bu
another is the fact that our own people ar.
being robbed just as the Manitobans are
Almost every article we buy has on extra
price added in order to protect some one

SETTLING INDIAN TERRITORY.

An Eopected In1tur of AIany Thousands
of White Settlers.
St. Louis Republican.
V1NTA, Indian Territory, April 1.-The
Cherokees are jubilant over the news that
fifteen thousand or twenty-five thousand peo-
pie will emigrate to this country soon. A
colony is now being organized at Kansas
City under the superintendent Col. G. G.
Carpenter, of Black Hills notoriety, and will
rendezvous, organize, and draft bylaws at
Coneyville on May 5. A similar organization
will take place at this point. Capt. Seayres,
of this place, started out this morn
ing to lay out trail to the promised land
west of the ninety-sixth parellel. The
lands, we are informed by Capt. Seayrs, for
excel those of any other portion of the terri
tory. Poor Lo will no doubt have to sub
NIT to the inevitable. This will close the
only outlet and afford great protection to
settlers along the borders of Kansas and
New Mexico. To show that the kindest of
feeling does not exist between the two polit-
ical factions here it is only necessary to copy
few extracts published by some knight of
the essassin's knife. The following was
found posted up against the store house of
j. NJ. Duncan few nights since, and is a
mild specimen of epithets hurled at the ad-
versary of the non-prosressionists, and evi-

LIZZIE PUTNAM SEWARD.

He stood alone, about his feet
An angry crowd surged to and fro,
With gibe, and leer, and curse and sneer,
And imprecation muttered low.
Their faces black with baffed hate,
His white and set to meet his fate.
Around him, yet afar. there stood
A wondering ubting, questioning throng.
"Will he succced?" The multitude
Knew he was right his foes were wrong,
But could he, would he win? Ah, then
He'd be hero among men!
The odorous pottage streamed on high
Into his nostrils hour by hour,
''ls is too costly" was the cry,
Though famished ld resist its power.
My blrthrlght, my unsullied name
Ia scorn to barter for this shame
Then came the s!euth hounds on his track,
He turned and fought them then and there,
He hurled them snarling, yelping back.
This man dies hard, his foes declare,
And snea6ing to their kennels vent
To plot new schemes of devilment.
Crowns for the victor! Had he failed,
''Poor foolr' the tickle crowd would say,
"He fought the battles of the weak,
He might have known that would not pay.
The laurels of all vanquished braves
Are filched by dirty-handed knaves."
Still, like wounded deer at bay,
One against many, noble sight
Still inch by inch he fought his way,
He knew they sought his life, you say.
1t might have been his fears. 1t might,
But was not let us here declare.
The paid assassin from his lair,
Wolf-like, crept out at middle-night.
And foul mouthed SANDER by his side
(The worse assassin of the twain)
Flung his vile venom on the wind,
And caught it in rebound again,
Until unmasked, he writhed and fed,
And ambushed hid his viper head.
Then gathered round the loyal few;
All, one was loyal to the core,
For he had risked his life for him
Can puresu friendship e'er do more?
In sweeter songs than mortals bring
From angel harps his praise shall ring.
So gathering strength our hero fought.
He sought no pity, made no plant.
'lm for the right, Gods right" he said,.
Pm neither hypocrite nor saint
And Heaven will help me soon or late
In its own time, and can wait"
Then one who leaned upon his breast
Smiled through her dri pping tears and said,
20! proudly dear heart for thy sake
1 walk mid women and am blest.
Victor or vanquished thou shalt be
Victor in name and heart to me.
