LAPHANI'S BILL.

Feeble minded old Senator Lap
ham has reintroduced in the Senate
his bill to amend the act establish
ing a Territorial government for
Utah, and a sillier lot Of lush has
seldom been presented for the con-
sideration of intelligent legislators.
1t starts in By changing the name of
the Territory to Altamont, which
suggests that the senile Senator is
poetical in his names and under
stands something of Latin and
French. A literal translation of
Altamont (Which we presume Mr.
Lapham desires pronounced Alta.
mong) is high mountain, which
sounds both pretty and grand. The
next section Of the bill provides for
a governor who shall be COM
mander-in>chief of the militia
when we have any; shall perform
the duties and receive the emolu-
ments Including, it is pre-.
sumed, the regular stealings) of
a superintendent of Indian affairs;
shall send an annual message to the
Legislature, shall enjoy the.absolute
veto power, shall appoint three cleo
ton inspectors for each district,sh
commission all officers who shall be
elected or appointed to Office in the
Territory, "and in general take care
that the laws be faithfully executed
these last two duties will settle at
least two questions-one as to
whether or Enot officers should be
commissioned, and the other as to
the faithful execution of the laws.
The third section defines the quail
fcations ofvoters, and requires that
each if required by the inspectors to
do SO, must prove that he possesses
the qualifications of residence and
citizenship, and if challenged must
satisfy the inspectors that he is
guiltless of bigamy, and has but
one living wife. The governor

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?

The first active steps in the mat
fer OF the next Presidential election
have been taken by the Republican
National committees meeting re-
Gently held in Washington, their &C.
ton resulting in general expires
sion of views in regard to the policy
Of the party and the selection OF
Chicago as the place for holding the
national convention. Their policy is
now clearly defined, it being in brief
high protective tariff, the enact
ment of new civil rights law, de-
struction to polygamy, and a gen.
eral opposition to Democrats and
things democratic. This latter party
has not yet put forth its call, and
perhaps there is no immediate
necessity for so doing; it is doubt
less better for the present that the
Democratic party watch and wait,
throwing in here and there a little
by way of prayer. 1t is largely in
the majority in the United States,
and nothing short Of a gigantic
blunder can prevent its emerging
from the contest of next November
with victory perched upon its crest
and shouts Of triumph from every
quarter greeting its advent into re
newed and increased power.
THE HERALD is for the Demo-
Gratis so long as they are democratic;
it earnestly desires the success of
that party in the next election, for
several reasons, chief among which
is the very obvious fact that the
Republican party has outlived its
usefulness, if it ever had any, and Is
now grasping for a renewal of its
tenure Of power, merely because of
the spoils. 1t does not present one
living issue, relying for success en-
tirely upon the fiimsy fabric of
war record, its opposition to the
Mormons, and the heresy of a high
protective tariff. Democracy now
goes to the country with wellsde-
fined, healthy principles and clean
hands; let them be kept clean, the
contest on its part be made agrees
siVe and its success is assured.
Meantime, in the language of Ham
let, "Couch we aside and mark"

.TUSTICE TO TIE INDIANS.

Daniel Graham, Santee Sioux Indian, made
an application last August TO enter quarter
section of land In Nebraska and take out
Datent therefor. The application wns refused by
the Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Daniel Graham's was test case on which i'm
portant claims rested. The facts are briefly as
follows:
In 1869 portion of the Santee Sioux with
drew from their tribe for the purpose of taking
I'D farms under the Patent act These men
were among those who had sold the large body
Of land which now forms the best part OF
Minnesota for six cents an acre they had also
been forced to sell a strip of land on the Min
nescta River for O sum which would have
brought in about $1,000 to each family.
Neither Of these sums had been paid to them.
The treaty of 1868 offered to insure to each
Santee Sioux who should adopt civilized modes
of life, and who should prove his ability to farm
land, patent for his land, such as would be
granted to any white settler, on application.
The Sioux, however, who accepted this offer
and resolved to lead a civilized life, was re-
CURED on oath to resign all claim on the Gov
eminent for the money due TO him. In other
words as DR.. Williamson stated the case,
price. These natives OF tho country are re-
quired to buy at a cost of several thousands of
dollars that which Is given without money or
price to every immigrant from Asia, Europe or
Africa
The Santee Sioux so eagerly desired civiliza-
tio1 that they resolved to make this sacrifice.
They resigned their claims, opened farms in an
unbroken wilderness, with neither money,
horses nor ploughs, breaking the ground
with their hoes. "They stood as a defence
for five years between the whites and the
wild Sioux" says the missionary "it Is
owing to them that not a drop Of white
blood was she'd" This was In 1869. For
fourteen years they have persevered. They
have proved themselves skilful and successful
farmers. They have built comfortable houses,
schools and churches, and live happily and
peacefully together. They have made them
selves what 1t Is the professed aim of the
Government to make every Indian self-sup-
porting producers civilized Christians. Yet
