OMAHA, Sept. S.-Senators Dawes. Lo-

the senate I lian commission, with Ches-
ter A. Dawes, clerk ], j. Christy, Nelson
Parker, DR.. V. G. McGilicuddy, Indian
agents at Pine Ridge, and L. II. Thomas OF

is here Law il before the commission.
The commission sat this morning to lis
ten to the statement by Judge Shannon, OF
Dakota, one OF the commission appointed
by the 'ecretary Of the interior TO make a
treaty with the Sioux nation. IL has been
claimed that this commission deceived the
Indians and obtained the treaty by which
10 800 600 acres were coded for % 600 cows
and 1000 buls or about three-tOurths OF II
cent an acre and it has been developed
that mere children were allowed to
sign. Judge Shannon this morning
denied that there was anything
dishonest or what the Indians did not
thoroughly understand. The land oeded
was between White and Cheyenne rivers.
Mr.. Human had been employed as inter.
prefer, and Shannon did not believe Hin
man had misrepresented anything 10 the
Indians. Shannon acknowledged that
Human had no right to secure additional
signatures.
Judge Moody then addressed the senate
committee on behalf OF the people OF
Dakota, dwelling upon the advantages to
be derived, both by the in lians and whites
from the opening of the great reservation,

CoRREoriNo THE VISION,

A correspondent Of the Kansas City
Times, who had been travelling through
Texas, speaks Of having met citizen Of
this place who was "well up In art and
thoroughly au iait in literature, science, u
etc., and "who afforded him much enjoy.
r'ent," etc. This seems to have surprised
the correspondent, who evidently had
never before been In these parts. Perhaps
cur people will be as much surprised to
know that such n thing should have sur.
prised an intelligent man, as he
was himself surprised. And yet this
same individual is only a representa-.
tive Of the thought and view
that many citizens OF the northern an /
eastern states have Of Texas. They regard
II as purely the land Of the ow.boy, who
cares but little for the graoes, the culture,
and the amenities Of social life, as the home
Of the desperate, the escaped convict from
other states, and the abode OF the greaser.

about 700 rogues and cuJ'throats, who were

countries OF promising possibilities, was
deluged with all classes Of people, and, as
rule, OF the worser orders. This was true
OF California, Of Montana, etc., even OF the
United States itself, after the discovery by
Columbus. It is the desperate, the needy,the
bold and the daring who generally lea'e
the comforts aud elegancies of an old home
aud plunge into new adventures. Texas,
twenty-five years ago, and perhaps within
less time, was 10 that chrysalis stage. But
alter awhile came the better, tenderer senti-
ments, law is regarded and enforced, order
prevails, properties are acquired. Then
comes the strictly social organization, the
crystallzing OF the better elements of the
community. Then follows the higher edu-
cations in the sciences and arts, operate,
theatrical and musical entertainments, pri-
yate and public libraries, art galleries,
s)oial festivities, etc. This is the
condition Of Texas to-day. There
are the opportunities and facilities in ouI
larger cities to indulge in and enjoy the
several blessings and benefits that are to be
had by our colder.climed brothers. Here
will be found men with brains as large ard
trusty and sagacous, with manners as grn
cious and as genial, with education rs thoi'
ough, with sentiment asreiined and culture
as complete as are to be met with in any
portion of the world. London and Paris
Berlin and Boston, may find here male and
female that will contest the palm with
either of them for excellence
in all that goes to make ~
genuine manhood or worthy woman
hood. A close acquaintance with
our people will beget better knowledge

possessions mental, moral and social. And
we venture to say that II the aforesaid cor

Now that the court-martial, who were

that the disreputable and really cruel

credit OF the government schools. Some of
