THE FUNDING BILL.

During the last days of the adnlinistra-
ton of Mr.. Hayes the parsonage whom
Senator ingalls, in debate recently styled
1.-THE accidental president a funding bin
was passed the senate providing for the re-
firing of Us. bonds, then about TO become
due, at low rate Of interest. This bill
was for some reason distasteful to Secre-
tary Sherman and he induced Frank Hayes
to veto it. This veto left the Secretary of
the Treasury in a helpless condition, with
bonds coming due and no means to pay
them and so Window took an action that
was perhaps unconstitutional, certainly
extra official, and of his own motion with
out any order or consent of Congress issued
funding bonds on terms decidedly advan-
tageous. During the present session Sena-
tor Sherman has entirely changed front
and is now the advocate and endorser of a
bill nearly identical in terms with that
which he induced Mr. Hayes to veto dur
ing the last session. The text of that bill
as it has passed the Senate is given below.
Be it enacted, etc, that the secretary of
the treasury is hereby authorized to re-
ceive at the treasury and at the office of
any assistant treasurer of the United States
and at any postal money order office,
lawful money of the United States to the
amount of $500 or any multiple of that
sum, on any bonds of the United States
bearing 81 per cent. per annum interest,
which are hereby declared valid, and to
issue in exchange therefor an equal
amount of registered or coupon bonds of
the United States of the denominations of
$50, 800, $500, 1000 and $4,000, of
such form as he may prescribe, bearing in
terest at the rate of three per cent. per an
mum, payable either quarterly or semi
annually at the treasury of the United
States. Such bonds shall be exempt from

An Olu-Time Itustler.

Miles City Journal: George Outhwait,
a buffalo hunter on the Porcupine, not
long ago had two head of his horses
stolen from his camp by Indians. George
discovered his loss, and taking the trail,
followed them up, and in q few days
came up with the band of Indians as
they were going into camp; carefully
concealing himself behind q butte, he
watched the Indians unsaddle their
horses and turn them loose to Craze,
among which he saw the two horses
which had few days ago been stolen
from him. Patiently he watched until
night came on, and as the Indians feared
no pursuit ut SO distant day, they all
rolled themselves up in their blankets
around the fire and went to sleep. This
was the moment our brave hunter was
waiting for, and stealthily stealing from
his hiding place, he glided steadily down
coolie to near where the band OF horses
were feeding. At last he reached his
horses, and quickly lariating them, he
singled out five more of the best horses
in the herd, and drove them out on the
prairie and thence to his camp. In the
morning when the Indians awoke from
their slumbers, they were surprised tc
find that the stolen horses, which they
had turned out in the herd the night be
fore, were missing, and also that five
more of the best ponies seemed to have
accompanied them. George soon reach
ed his camp, and is now the happy pos
SCISSOR of five more head of horses thar
before the raid by the Indians.

PsRIsAeD IN A BLIZZARD.
The Terrible Death of a Woman and H,
Child Near Grand Forks.

The Terrible Death of a Woman and Her
Child Near Grand Forks.
From the Grand Forks papers we learn
the following narrowing details of the
death of the Selinger woman and child
near Stump lake, and the hapless condi-
tion of the survivors of the Russian col.
ony: The husband OF the woman, who
is Russian jew named Selinger, and
who lives is miserable claim shanty,
with number of his companions half
mile from Sol Mendelshon's started for
Mr.. Mendelshon's place, which is mile
from Harrisburg, during the forenoon OF
Wednesday. His wife and child were
sick, and in the hope of finding relief for
them he pushed out into the terrible
blizzard. Although he had but half a
mile to go the binding storm so benumed
and confused him that he wandered
about for nearly two hours. His wife had
been calling upon him to hurry, as she was
not only deathly cold herself, but feared
for the thinly-clad baby, and at last
stopped and told her husband that the
child was dead. They carried it for a
quarter of an hour and then abandoned
it and the oxen they had been driving.
Selinger used every means in his power
to keep his wife warm, even taking every
vestage OF clothing from the dead child
and wrapping it about her, but she be-
came more and more benumed
being unable to speak aud at
last falling insensible in the
snow. He chafed her hands and ex.
hausted himself trying to revive her, but
finally when there was no longer any
doubt OF her death, he pushed on and
came to Mendelsohn's house. He was
himself badly frozen, his face, hands and
feet being horribly trost-bitten. A special
telegram from Larimore to the News
states that the bodies have at last been
found.
In an interview with II. J. Ephriam,
this morning, a News representative
learned that nineteen of the twenty
one Jews who are now on land
| near Stump lake, were sent out there
in August. Ignorant of the mode ol
life in this country, and especially on the
plains, and possessed of little money an6
few of the necessaries of life, they were
sent out to ''become farmers" The only
wonder is that, unequipped as they
were, they have managed to get along a.
well as they have. They invested in
yoke of oxen, an old pillow and wagon

The railroad department of the Sioux
City Journal contains the announcement
(entirely original with the JournaD that
the Union Pacific has become the owner
Of the Central Iowa and that connections
are being built which will extend the
Union Pacific to Chicago. Also that q
system is being projected to connect
Boston and San Francisco in the interest
of Gould. From this basis the Journal
reasons that if Gould owns through
line Vanderbilt must also own one and
then it proceeds to speculate on
the route to Corinne, where connection
would be formed with the Central Pa
oific. Every extension which the map
of the country could suggest enters into
these probabilities. except the one over
the surveyed route to Corinne from
Yankton and connection here with the
Northwestern. We cheerfully supply

gap in the Journals. guessing depart

In the case of General Curtis, convicted
Of making collections for political pur-
poses and sentenced to pay fine of
$4,000, the United States supreme court
has rendered q decision affirming the
finding of the court below. The opinion
was delivered by Chief Justice Waite.
1t holds the act of congress under which
suit was brought is not one to prohibit
all contributions of money or property
by designated officers and employees of
the United States for political purposes,
neither does it prohibit them altogether
from receiving or soliciting money or
property for such purposes. 1t simply
forbids their receiving from or giving to
each other. Beyond this no restrictions
are placed on any of their political priv.
ileges. General Curtis was IN employee
OF the government and took money from
other employees. Justice Bradley read
a dissenting opinion, in which he took
the ground that congress had no consti-
tutional power to enact law fofbidd,ng
an employe of the government to asso.
ciate himself with others for the promo
tion of political opinions which lie enter.
tained, or to make such disposition of
his private means us he should think fit
He said he did not approve of enforced
political assessments, but he thought
congress, in enacting the present law to
prevent such assessments had deprived
the individual citizen of one of bis in
alienable rights, and in so doing had
over.stepped the limits of constitutions

whisky. or in any way materially reduc-
ing the revenue of the government.
The ground set forth in this circular as
an inducement to soldiers to thus write
to their members of congress is that such
q material reduction of the internal rev.
enue as is proposed would in time pre-
vent the allowance and payment of their
claims for pensions, bounties, and back
pay. CnDHressmen are already receiving
letters from soldiers asking them on the
ground stated to withhold their votes on
all questions providing for the repeal or
reduction of the tobacco tax or the tax
on whisky. Ii soldiers generally respond
to this circular, as they are likely to do,
it will form most potent element of
opposition as congressman are still in
clined to regard the soldier as power
in the land.

The government is now moving Wig.
orously to correct on evil which has been
too long in existence. We refer to the
prevailing system OF procuring govern
ment land under the pre.emption act.
It may seem like startling statement,
but we believe that as much as fifty per
cent of the land taken up in Dakota
under this act has been secured through
an evasion Of the requirements of the act
People come from the states in crowds
and make their filings. In some instances
they put upon a claim
slight improvements and in others
they do not so much as break the sod. A
rude shanty is frequently their habita-
ton, but sometimes not board is raised.
A portion, perhaps nearly all, visit their
claims occasionally and pass night up
on them, having their headquarters in
some adjacent town or state. At the end
of six months they walk up to the land
Office and complacently make oath that
their claims have been their homes and
that they have cultivated them as
the law requires A very
large proportion of these in
dividuals are liable to indictment for
perjury, but they do not seem to realize
tie fact. The prevailing misapprehen-
sion Is that the government is anxious to
get rid Of its possessions upon any terms.
This class of land grabbers is OF very
little value to Dakota. Many Of them
never intend to make our territory their
home. All they are after is patent to o
government quarter section to hold for
speculative purposes. The government
is enquiring into the subject and the
probability is that the presumption net
will be repealed.
