WAsHINGi ON. Feb 2-In the Indian approph-
alton bill reported by Mr.. Wells, from the Appro-
priation Committee to-day, there is . reduction
OF S225000, which brings the bill down to a G0O-
000 or less than it has been for years. One item
of reduction is ss6.OoO. leaving the amount ST.
100000 for the Yankton or Spotted Tail Sioux.
An effort will be made. no doubt, IN the House
to put All amendment on the bill to transfer the
management of Ind an affairs to the War Depart
ment, but this will be ruled out by point of or.
der. The voting strength for the proposition has
increased since the recent in the Indian
Bureau, and an independent bill will, no doubt,
soon come to the front now, and will pasa the
House without much difficulty.

r MORMON NoroPoLIES
A curious phase of the Mormon difficulty
Is presented in tile alleged scheme by
whicl, all the arabic lands of the territory
is monopolized by the Mormons to the ex-
clusiOn of all other persons. The Mormons
plant city wherever they plant colony.
These so.called cities are used to secure
vast tracts of land under the laws Of the
United States, though the cities are merely
shams Thus one Of these fraudulent COM
munities, with big name attached to it,
though only hamlet in the sagebrush,
with 600 inhabitants, claims and receives
from the Government tract Of land con-
tanning forty square miles. As cities Of this
tyre are spread all over Utah. it happens
that great land monopoly is created for
the benefit Of the followers Of the woman
hierarchy. .....-. ..... -. .......- .-

LAST NIGHT.

Las. night, within the little curtained room,
Where the ray music sen lded family clear,
And silver II %hsa coEae = aling through the
gloom,
You told the tale that women love to hear;
You told 1t well, with firm hands claspfng
mine,
And deep eyes glowing with tender light.
Mere acting? But your power was half divine
Last night, last night.
All, you had much to offer; wealth enough
To gild the future, and a path of ease
For one whose way Is somewhat dark and
rough;
New friends-a life as calm as summer seas,
And something twas 1t love?) to keep us true.
And make US precious in each others sight
All! then, indeed, my hearts resolve knew,
Last night, last night.
Let the world go, with all its dross and pelf!
Only for one, like Portia, could say,
81 would be trebled twenty times myself"
Only for one, and he is far away;
His voice came back to me, distinct and dear.
And thrilled me with the pain of lost delight;
The present faded, but the past was clear,
Last night, last night.
II others answered as answered then,
We would hear less, perchance, of blighted
lives;
There would be truer women, nobler men,
And fewer dreary homes aid faithless wives;
Because 1 could not give You all my best,
gave you nothing. Judge me-was right?
You may thank heaven that stood the test,
Last night last night.
