The Sioux Indian treaty ratified by
the senate last week will open to set
element all that portion of the reserva-
ton west Of the Missouri lying between
the Big Cheyenne River on the north
and White River on the south, being
am area Of about 5000 square miles, on
$4,000 quarter sections. The greater
portion Of this tract is good agricultural
land, but will probably remain longer
unsettled than other portions Of the
territory, owing to entries being con-
fined to homesteads without the priyil-
ege Of Communication. No pre-emption
or timber culture entries will be per-
mitted, and, in addition to usual fees,
the settler will be required to pay fifty
cents per acre for the benefit Of the
Indians. From this source the Indians
will receive $11,250,06O and from the
government 5000 head Of cattle and
usual rati ons.

THE house committee have reported
unfavorably upon the bill for granting
a section of land at Mitchell in aid Of
the erection of a monument to the
homestead law. In this report the
committee show more sense than senti-
ment The homestead law is monu-
ment unto itself that no more needs a
work Of art to perpetaate its memory
than do any of the other good laws
with which our statutes abound, how
ever much the citizens Of Mitchell may
think to the contrary in their desire to
obtain pleasure grounds and attractions
at the public expense.

SECRETARY LINCOLN again displays
that sound Judgment which has char

IT would appear chat the days Of the
timber culture law are numbered. The
majority Of the committee on public
lands are in favor of its repeal, also Of
remodeling the homestead law When
prepared, it is thought the bill will be
tackled on to an appropriation bill and
readily passed.

A BILL is before the lower house of
congress providing that no person shall
be eligible to the Office of governor of a
territory unless he has been d resident
Of such territory for at least two years
preceding the appointment The prin-
cipal argument in support of this bill
is that it will relieve the president from
the opportunities of a crowd Of hang
ers-on who infest the national capital
begging an appointment, making life a
burden to the executive and hasten
ing him to q premature grave
How the poor president is to be
pitied. How excrutia5ing must be the
agonies which harrow his tender soul
as he pigeon-holes each application
with an early-consideration wink at his
secretary. Yet how many are willing
to sacrifice their eternal happiness for
the dear peoples sake There Is hard
" a possibility Of the bill becoming 4
law, however, and, judging BY the aver
age territorial politician, it IS well that
Fit should not. Better give us q man
for governor while he is stillunidentifed
with the rings, or better still, change
governors every year before they have
time to become SO identified.
