report to the secretary of the inteior,
that an enabling act be passed by con-
gress, authorizing Dakota to frame one or
two constitutions for submission to the
vote of the people, does not meet with

the intention of this governor to have
the territory divided. Let this be as it
may, We think Dakotaians, both north

! Secretary Teller's communication to
the Chicago Tribune in reference to the
work of the Sioux commission, of which
he was member, is one of tho most
concise and truthful documents ever pre-
pared upon the subject of the red man,
his rights and his needs. 1t is practically
unsssallable from any standpoint. 1t
deals in a merciless manner with the
errors of those who act in behalf of the
wards of the nation through false and
sentimental notion. 1t exacts strict
justice to, the Indian and to the white
man and It answers aiIthe so.called argu-
ments of those who are endeayoripg to
.overturn tip agreement for'the cession
of . portion Of the Sioux reservation.
Yet it is dihacult to- ind1e the philan.

practical conclusion upon this subject.

counties are requested to send. delega-

lieve there will be ageneral response of
this call, for the reason that the people
of Dakota mostly desire the opening of
the reservation. The reason given by
the committee for the action contem.
plated is that the country east of

and that a rush of immigration tofree
lands farther west would tend to retard
its development There is, however. an
argument ip opposition to this theory.
The land west Of the Missouri is more
adopted to stock raising than to aeri.

for agriculture predominate. What i,

road built to date. 1t is constructed from large
their correctness. so that every detail in the
course of streams and every irregularity or
offset in the section lines can be implicitly relied
on as correctly represented. It's the first map
published showing the bounaaries of 81 new
counties all railroads completed. and the large
contiguous districts covered by land Office sur-
veys. Therailroads are all accurately delineat-
ed from large scale drawings furnished by the
engineers of the several roads; and the
stations, postothces, and other localities are the
result of extensive respondcnce with nearly
every portion OF the territory. The importance
of this accuracy can best be appreciated by
those purchasing or selling plats of land. where
these facts often govern lke market value of
property. Ne otber map of Dakota compares
with this in truthfulness or amount of detail,

Sense Oulture,

The special culture of the senses is toe
much neglected by us in this modern
busy life. Probably ut no period of hu.
man history has the nervous system gen.
orally, and, more particularly, the SENSE
organs been so severely taxed as they
now are, but never have they been les
carefully cultivated. This is in part, il
not wholly, the cause of the progressive
degeneracy of the faculties of special
sense, which is evidenced by the increas
ing frequency of the recourse To spec.
tacles, ear trumpets, and the like APP
paratus, designed TO aid the sense or,
gans. The mere use of faculties will no,
develop strength-it is more likely t.
exhaust energy.
Special training is required, and thi,
essential element of education is who'll,

Dies Good Work Paw

Properly considered. this question ad-
mtS OF but one answer, and yet there
are advocates of cheap work and ex-
cnsers of sighted jobs among our man.
Gfacturcrs; men who claim that close
competition and close bargaining are
circumstances which permit, if they do
not exact, passable rather than excel
lent work. A business run among the
shops and factories in the same line of
productions. in the same or adjacent
localities, where each shop has equal or
similar facilities, shows that no two Of
them will furnish the same estimates Of
the same job. Indeed, in some instan-
ces, the difference in the term is quite
surprising when it is considered that
the materials and the methods and IA
cilties of working them are the same.
Under these circumstances the only pos
sihle means OF lowering price is by
sighting work. sure TO be detected soon
er or later, to the injury Of the makers
reputation and the ultimate loss of the
cream of his business. This is particu-
larry true of the manufacture of tools
and machinery; in either case poor work
manship is certain to reveal itself. Aud
| when tool gives out in the using, or u
machine breaks down, the user and
owner does not console himself with the
consideration that he ''got it cheap" but
he exccrates the maker as heartily AS
though he paid the highest market price;
and he goes no more to the lOw-priced
manufacturer, neither does he recon-
mend his productions.
The manufacturer who "puts the
work" into his tools and machinery is
building upfor himself cumulative ex-
tending reputation for excellence of
product that is far more valuable than
reputation for low prices only. In
fact, the price of piece of work is not
absolutely high or low; it bears re-
laion to its cost of production. A high
priced article may be cheaper than Il
low priced one, and should be if the
proper relation between price and value
is preserved. In fact, high prices do
not repel so many would-be customers
