EAT AS YOU RIDE.

The Chicago & North Western Railway
comes to the front again in a manner to
attract the attention of all who ever have
occasion to patronize railroad. The
accommodations they have heretofore
offered in the way of Passenger Train equ-
ipment have been ample; the Day Doaches
Parlor Cars, Chair Cars and Sleeping cars
not being excelled by any, and on March
lst, they added to the above list, and at
the same time, to the convenience and
comfort of its patrons, new and elegant
dining cars, to be run upon the trains of
its Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapolis Line,
between Chicago and St. Paul.
These Cars are complete in every par
ticular and were constructed for use upon
this line, consequently, with a thorough
knowledge of the needs eff the line. This
Company have for some time been operat-
ing Dining Cars between Chicago and
Council Bluffs, Ia, and their success has
prompted this move, they having
the fact that the public are not slow to
show thier appreciation Of good thing.
We are satisfied this new departure of the
North Western will meet with substantial
response by the travelling public of the
Northwest.
In this respect IS in many sothers, the
North Western takes the lead Of all COM
petitors, as it is the only line running

THE ASSESSMENTS.
A Plain Statement of Facts-What
Should be Done By our Different
Township Assessors.

Our different township assessors will
shortly be called upon to perform the
duty to which they were elected, to assess
the different townships in the county.
We understand that the assessed valua-
ton of Lincoln county for the year 1880
fell,!a little short of 100000, which
brought in revenue of $34. 356.73.
1t would be very proper at this period
and therefore offer few suggestions be-
fore the ASSESSORS goes at his work to call
attention of all interested to the import
ance of having the work done thoroughly.
"We believe that there should be some
action taken by acting governor Hand to
secure fair and equal assessment of the
different counties. A circular from him
to the various county clerks, setting forth
the Importance OF the subject and some
general basis for estimates of value would
do much good. As the matter now
stands every county has it's own basis for
estimates. In one county stock is as
sessed low and in another high. The same
is true as regards lands
Some good form adopted would help
all alike. The whole assessment of Da-
kota is but little more than half what it
ought to be. If uniform basis could be
arranged and have each article assessed
at its true value and according to location,
it would help us immensely abroad, for it
is well known fact that all eastern firms
Or capitalists look to the assessed valua-
ton of town or county to form some
basis of what an individual, town, county,
or State is worth. In this farmers gener-
ally make a mistake, and the same with
firms or private individuals, in placing, by
the assessor, too low an estimate upon the
article or stock.
If this could be done it would not only
help us immensely abroad but it would
actually increase values at home. The
assessment of Dakota this year ought not
to be less than sixty millions and it would
not be if fair estimate was put upon our
property by assessors all over the Territory.
Again we are informed that every set of
county commissioners are doing all they
can to keep down the assessment so as to
get rid of territorial taxes But this does
no good as the Territorial board make
different levies for different counties, vary
ing as high as two mills on general levy
of three and one half mills. This evil
should be, if possible, abated. 1t means
very bungling work by somebody when
one county pays two and another four
mills territorial tax The Territorial Board
make the levy as equal as possible, but to
make it fully equitable is impossible.
If the Territorial Board have discre-
tlonary power to make special tax levy
for each county why have they not at least
the power to advise county boards? At
any rate, some general instructions from
acting Gov. Hand would be OF great SER

Law and Order.

Canton has no jail or even a calaboose
and it is we'll known fact to all who wish
to set the officers at defiance Of their duty
that they can do So The past is a good
criterion to go by. There were strangers
staggering around loosely who for the
want of safe place of confinement had to
be let to roam up and down the streets at
will. The past should be warning No
doubt this has set the officers thinking
and we will hope for the best results in
the way of jail. 1t may seem strange to
some that cases of drunkenness go un-
punished. The imperitive duty of a
police officer is to bring guilty parties to a
trial and have justice meted out to them,
with the end in view to have crime and
misdemeanors lessened. While it is easy
to find fault with our officers, it should be
kept in mind that they are hel pless, to a
great extent. Again, it must be said that
our citizens mi ght exercise an influence
on these matters by helping the proper
authorities in the discharge of their duties
whenever an occasion presents itself.

A New Bill,

Commenting on the bill of Delegrate
Pettigrew, found below the Yankton Press
has this to say:
Delegate Pettigrew has introduced into
congress bill empowering commission
to negotiate with the Sioux Indians of all
that portion Of their reservation lying
south of the White river. This measure
comedies with a recommendation OF the
secretary of the interior, or the Indian
commissioner, we have forgotten which,
and is an important beginning of that
which must eventually come to pass. The
Sioux have more land then they have any
use for and white men want it. That set
ties the question in advance After two
thirds of their land is opened to settlement
the Sioux can begin to look forward to tho
time when they will be asked to abandon
the whole and go to the Indian territory,
where al such impediments to civilization.
belong. This may seem like harsh and
unjust solution Of the Indian problem in
Dakota, but it is an inevitable result ofthe
settlement which is now peopling our prai-
ries. Hupanitarians cannot prevent it
any more than can the best disposed res
idents of our territory Fate has decreed
it, and it happens that the the Indians
and fate are not on very good terms. Del
egate Pertigrew's bill provides also that
the Indians be granted lands in severalty
if they want them, and this might prove
saving clause if the Indians had any ambi-
ton to till they become self-suprortine.
But as they are.not inclined to industry,
they will probably not appreciate the mum
lficence of the government in this particu-
lar Under the provisions ofthe bill, each
head of family is allowed quarter Sec
ton of land and each Indian, eighteen
years ofage or more, an eighth ofa section,
and they are prohibited from selling, mort
gaging or leasing the same for period of
twenty-five years. The plan Of agricultu-
raj industry thus marked out would cause
even the stoical red meu to smile. Still it
is necessary that these Dakota lands be
opened to settlement, and this is the best
provision that can be made.
