the man who is unutterably shocked
because Francis Murphy is getting
$50 week for Temperance work,
seems to think 1t all right when the
bar-keeper takes in twice as much
money in single day. The laborer
is worthy OF his hire, my boy, and
he is just as worthy of it in the pulpit
as he is upon the stump. Is the man
who is honestly trying to save your
immortal soul worth less than than
the man who is only trying his level

SO that you may be able to pa7 Z

my boy, the good things in the world
are always the cheapest. Spring
water costs less than corn whiskey:
q box of cigars will buy two or three
Bibles; gallon Of old brandy costs
more than barrel of flour; q full"
hand at poker often costs q man
more in twenty minutes than his
church subscription amounts to in
three years; state election costs
more than revival OF religion; you
can sleep in church every Sunday

Officials and other representative citi-
Zens OF Dakota were before the house
committee on territories to-day and ex-
planned that at the late election Yanktor
county had purged itself of the at empted
reputation of its Indebtedness, and that a
settlement satisfactory to all concerned
had been practically reached by the issu-
ance Of new bonds to the holders OF
old bonds desiring them, and the
payment of cash to - those who
did not. Geo. ". Packard, of Chicago, at
tOrney for the bOndhoiders, confirms the
fact of the settlement. The subcommittee
of the senate committee ON territories to-
morrow will hear Dakota men in support of
the proposition to admit the territory as a
state.
A small band of Chippewa Indians ar
rived to-day from the Turtle Mountain
country, in Northern Dakota. They came
without sanction Of the Indian Office to
protest against opening to set LEI 9 1t of
IL large area of country to the north
and west OF DEVILS lake, and contemplated
by Secretary Teller. The secretary holds
these Indians have no title whatever to
the country. Ee finds that in all the pub
lished accounts of the Northwest territory,
even in the writings of the Jesuit mission
aries 200 Or 800 wears ago. the country is
referred to as belonging to the Sioux. The
! visitors had ali interview with the COM
missioner OF Indian affairs to-day. Bishop
Whpple it understood, favors the claims
of the Indians.
The president of the senate viii soon des-
ignate Senator Mitchell as chairman of the
committee on pensions. Senator Plat
will continue chairman CT the committee
On patents. Senator Van WICK viii be
designated as chairman Of the Mississippi
river improvement committee instead OF
Mitchell, all of which is certainly agreeable
to the gentlemen concerned.
