Rev. ]. N. McLoney, Of Sioux Falls.
one of the leading Congregational clergy.
men of Dakota. died at Sioux Falls Tues.
day at noon. A telegram from Sioux
Falls says:
No death ever caused such sorrow in
the city. The deceased was in his thirty.
sixth year and unmarried. He was Con.
gregational pastor at Vermillion in
lS74-7; at Sioux City until January, 1879,
thence to Sioux Falls for five years. The
funeral will be Thursday afternoon. The
cause of his death was quite certainly
cancer of the liver. A post nortem ex.
animation will be held tomorrow.
To which the Sioux City Journal adds
The death announced in the above tele.
gram will be received with profound re.
gret in this city, where the reverend gen
tleman was known and liked SO we'll. As
pastor OF the Congregational church of
Sioux City for nearly two years, his pas
torate beginning early in 1877, he made
hosts of friends, not only in his congre-
cation, but among all our citizens. An
earnest, honest and talented minister,
his friends had hoped for him long life
of usefulness. Man proposes, God dis.
poses. OF the long and painful sickness,
which yesterday ended in death, the
Journal bas from time to time made
mournful mention. After being at the
point of death, as was believed, on Fri.
day, he rallied and though slight re.
lapse came on Sunday he was better on
Monday. and the friends and relatives
who attended his bedside still hoped for
his recovery in spite of the opinion oi
the physicians that his disease must re.
suit fatally. His father, mother and sis.
ter. who reside at Eddyville, this state
were with him at the last.

The Koto (McPherson county, News
is highly indignant over the orgaulza-
ton of that county by two commission.
ers appointed by Governor Ordway, who
qualified without receiving their COM
missions. The indignation OF the News
is largely based upon the failure of koto
to secure the county seat and out of this
disappointment it argues that the organ
ization is invalid because the officers had
not their commissions in their possession
at the time the act was committed.
In occupying this position
the News differs with many very able
legal and judicial gentlemen, who hold
that commission is mere incident to an
appointment and not at all necessary
after an appointment becomes matter
of record. The two commissioners of
Mcpherson county were appointed last
November, but their commissions were
kept back by the governor. They pro.
cured certified transcript of the record
of their appointment, qualified and went
to work. The courts will sustain their
action.

Major Mclaughlin Of Standing Rock.

st. Paul Pioneer-Press: Maj. Nc.
Laughlln, like every other western man
who has had to do with Indians, depre-
Gates the policy OF resubmirting to the
tribes the question OF throwing open q
part of their reservation. In his last
annual report lie strongly advocates the
abrogation of all treaties and the appro-
priation by congress OF specified sum,
to be divided among the Indians to whom
allotments of such territory as they
really need should be made by congress.
To make treaties. in which the govern
ment binds itself solemnly to furnish
certain articles of use and rations
of food, only to break them, continues
to make the Indians angry, and to
rob them of their belief in the govern
ment. When the treaty promises them
three pounds of meat per day, and they
only get two pounds, because congress
didn't appropriate enough money, they
growl consumedly and naturally. Mai.
Mclaughlin thinks the boundaries fixed
BY the Dawes commission, or that of the
EdmuDds commission, somewhat unfair
IN that the Cheyennes, by kicking vigor-
ously, got much larger territory than
they can possibly need or are entitled
TO. There are only 5000 of them, while
at Standing Rock there are 4,500, at Pine
Ridge 5000, and at Rosebud about 5000,
yet the Cheyennes have more territory
than that allotted to the
Sioux of any of the other agen-
cies. In addition they have an equal
share per capita, In the benefits arising
from the sale of the lands thrown open
between the 1929 and 103d meridians,
aud also from those opened to settle
ment west from the Missouri. As to the
Brule reservation, Maj. mclaughlin says
the portion opposite Chamberlain, about
which there has been 80 much grum-
bling, is small corner north Of the
White river, and between bend in that
river and the Missouri. 1t does not
contain more than four square
miles, and is chiefly valuable because of
the improvements thereon made by the
mission people and the Indians them
selves. In his judgment. it would have
been better to put the Brules south of
the White entirely. making that stream
the natural boundary. In the corner
north of that stream they come into di-
rect contact with the white residents of q
railroad town opposite Chamberlain, and
such contact cannot fail in being in.

Probabilities that It Will be Filibustersd

Probabilities that It Will be Filibustered
out Of Existence.
Washington, March lean effort will
be made early this week to take from the
speakers table the senate bill for the re.
lief Of Fitz-John Porter. Under the
rules, after the morning hour has ex.
pired, motion is in order to 70 to the
speakers table. This. motion may be
carried by majority vote, and this &C.
ton can be taken by the house at any
time. The democrats who favor the bill
are IN the majority; but it will require
unanimous consent to set aside the bills
which precede the Fitz-J ohm Porter bill,
SO that this bill can only be reached by
disposing OF ne preceding Lills. There
are. however, thirty of these which
must be disposed ct in the usual
cans resort to filibustering IT will be yery
difficult to even reach the Porter bill. 4

ing on each preceding bill on the
speakers table, tue chances for reaching
the Porter bill will be exceedingly small.
Three roll calls can be required op every
measure; and the republicans, by refus-
ing to vote, can, almost at any time. leave
the house without quorum. In this
way the entire session can be con.
sumed, and all other legislation crowded.
out. In this way the republicans
were prevented from taking up the Da-
kota bill last congress. II the bill
should be finally reached, however, the
republicans would move to have it COM
mitted to the committee on military
affairs, which would of course be defeat
ed and the bill would pass, in which case
republican members hope the president
will veto the bill and there is some talk
to this effect. Some of Mr.. Arthur's
friends are particularly anxious that he
should do 80. They say it will be an ex-
celent card for him to play. One reason
assigned is that he would divide with
Logan the influence of the soldier vote.
Some OF Porter's friends assert that as no
constitutional question Is involved, the
president will not feel like exercising
this constitutional prerogative. But the
question is raised on the other hand,
whether congress has right to reverse
the decision of court martial, and this
it is said, would afford very good
ground for veto. Should President
Arthur veto the bill. it could not become
q law for the reason that it could not re.
ceive two thirds vote of both houses.
This would therefore end the subject, at
least SO far as this congress is concerned.

Marquis de Nlores' sheen,

Miles City Journal: The large loss of
sheep by the Marquis de Mores is the
subject of much comment among sheep
growers. There is no disease among the
sheep of Montana that bears any resem.
blance to the disorder said to have killed
the sheep of De Mores. The report has
been quite extensively circulated that the
sheep were. poisoned, and great
many believe that to have
been the secret of their dying. But
it is probable that most at least died from
weakness and exposure. The sheep were
o very poor lot driven into the range late
last summer. They we're unacclimated,
poor in flesh aud not in suitable condi,
tion to withstand the rigors of even a
very mild winter. If stock are fat and
streng in the fall they will winter easily
and with but little probability of loss,
but if sheep or cattle either are poor and
weak in the beginning of winter they
must have feed and extra care even in
this country.
