Twenty Years.

Twenty years have passed since the re-
belion closed. The changes wrought
during that period in our country have
been wonderful. The growth in popula-
ton, wealth. manufactures. mining, agri-
culture and railroads is greater than the
Imagination of man conceived it could be,
even had there been no rebellion. The
West of to-day was almost an unknown
country twenty years ago, considered as
only fit for the home of Indians and
buffaloes now it is the granary OF the
nation. rich in the precious ores. the home
Of millions of people, traversed by rail-
roads, with States admitted to the Union,
and other communities knocking at the
door for admittance. Previous to the
period of which we are writing California
was an isolated State, only accessible by
long journeys around the Cape or over
the lsthmus, or across deserts, mountains
and forests in emigrant wagons that
crawled with snail-like pace from the
Mississippi to and beyond the Rockies.
To-day California is but weeks ride
from New York, and San Francisco
looms up as one of the most i'm
portant commercial cities of the
Union.
The change indicated on the map of the
United States since the rebellion ended
has been accompanied by other changes
of vast Importance. Revolutions of opin-
ion have taken place that have advanced
individual freedom and rooted more strong.
" the foundations of the government.
The chains of the slave. broken in the
war. have been removed from his limbs.
II he is not in every sense free man. he
is as far advanced as his immediate cir
cumstances and surroundings will admit.
Education, training and experience. the
great needs Of the former slave to enlarge
his capacity for approaching and grasping
the possibilities of his new position, are
being offered him. That he is poor and
ignorant is unavoidable. That he is rap
idly improving in the way of free citizen
ship is certain. That he can ever be re-
enslaved is an impossibility.
Another change worthy of special no.
tice Is that In mems minds in relation to
the stability Of this government. All the
way from Washington down to Abraham
Lincoln the idea prevailed at home and
abroad that the Union was but a
rope of sand which the first wave of
domestic difficulty would wash away. II
was believed that we as people were
strong against invasion but weak to check
naturalization at home. This opinion is
dead Ms the rebellion or human slavery.
The fierce heat of battle, the trying ordeal
OF reconstruction. have left the Union with
out a star erased from our flag. We have
proved by the most severe test that the
government is strong in what was sup
posed to be its weakest point.
Thanks to the heroes whose graves we
bedeck with garlands at this season. the
Union stands strong and prosperous be-
cause of their sufferings. sacrifice and he
roism. and we know that II will stand in
vincible SO long as succeeding genera
tons shall be IS brave and patriotic as
those whom we honor for their devotion to
country and flag.

INDIAN TERRITORY.
The People in Constant Fear of q Bloody
Indian Outbreak.

WACHIrA, Kan, June 29.-The dispatches
of Sunday morning and the assurances OF
the Department at Washington to the con-
trary notwithstanding, the excitement is
at fever heat at Reno n Darlington, in
the Territory, and the attitude OF the
Cheyennes is very threatening. The special
to the Eagle of Saturday was to some pre-
tended friendly Indians, and their grunts
Of disapproval were long and loud. The
Eagle is in receipt Of more specials to-day
in which it is asserted that the Indians
will make a desperate fight if asked to
surrender their arms. 1t could not have
been done under the Presidents orders.
Darlington and C~antonment stand at the
mercy of 800 braves, and one special says
the streams are rising rapidly between the
agency and the fort. Few Indians are to
be seen around the fort. The warriors are
all gathering at a point twelve miles above
on the North Fork. A friendly Arapahoe
brings in the news that three white men
(freighters) were murdered near Canton
ment by Cheyenne Indians. Scouts are
riding trails in all directions day and night.
All the rivers between the border at Cald-
well and the agencies are rising. Fort Reno
is under a double row of sentinels, and no
Indian is allowed inside Cantonment,
which is sixty miles up the river. and is per-
fectly helpless if an attack is made. There
was, when the last Eagles special was
sent, nine companies OF troops at Reno
and one in Oklahoma, which had
been ordered over, but before these
troops could make a move, two compa-
MES would have to be sent to Cantonment
and two left at the agency, which would
leave but six companies for the post and
the field. The Indians are superbly mounted
and armed to the teeth with the best arms
manufactured, and have a full supply of
ammunition. Our dispatch says there is
but one way, and that is to disarm the
Cheyennes. As to the movement OF the
large body of Indians in camp on the North
Fork, but little is known as neither the
agency people nor the soldiers have felt
that it would be safe to attempt to find
out by accommodating with SO few troops
at command.

Killing in q Church Over y Row About
q Priest.
TOLEDO, June 29.-For q long time there
has been serious trouble in the Polish
Catholic Church here between the priest
and his followers, and the faction who
were opposed to him. Over a year ago in
a row growing out OF this trouble a man
was killed, and the failure to convict the
parties of the offense stimulated the oppo-
sition, which has been increasing III feroc-
ity. A few days ago an attempt was made
to blow up the church with dynamite. Yes
terday afternoon the trouble eliminated
in a riot, in which firearms and all manner
OF D were freely used. Two men
we're killed and several severely injured,
while quite a number of houses were par
TALLY or entirely destroyed. The police
have made a large number OF arrests, and
an extra force is stationed on the ground
to prevent another attack. Up to noon
to-day twenty-five men and tive women
have been placed under arrest for compile
itv in the riot. Several of these are slightly
wounded, bearing cuts, bruises or broken
fingers. The parties directly implicated IN

Their disturbances have taken place. The
pastor OF the Polish Church publishes a
statement, in which he attributes the whole
difficulty to bitter hostility long enter
tanned toward him and his work, by the
vicious and criminal element in his parish,
whose acts have heen severely denounced
by him. Portions of his people supported
and defended him most zealously, and his
determination to relinquish the charge, the
announcement OF which was made yester-
day, precipitated a conflict between thetac-
tiOns.

Old Dog Tray.

Thah there is adog law in Butte but very
few of the owners of CANNES seem to be
aware, and up to yesterday the dogs them
selves were in a state of blissful ignorance
of the fact. Yesterday, however, being a
warm day, the City Marshal concluded to
turn loose the poundman, which he did.
Among the assistants pressed into service
by the official were several small boys, and
the way they went for the cnrs was a eau
ton. OF course, they received a per capita
for each capture, and as the only imp'e-
ments they used were the seductive whistle
and a small cord, theydid not attract much
attention, but they made enough money in
the venture to buy candy and chewing-gum
for a month. There are now in the pound
eight or ten good dogs, which the owners
can redeem on the payment OF So, in &C
cordance with law. Unless this is done, the
animals will be killed. The marshal is de-
termined to enforce the law in this respect,
and parties who own dogs that they value
will do well to take out a license at once,
nd thus save trouble and expense.

ORGANIZATION OF the Butte Baseball
Club Last Night.

From present Indications Butte is to have
a baseball club worthy OF the city. A meet
ing OF those interested in the manly sport
was called for Sunday. and after a formal
discussion was postponed till last night.
At the appointed time the meeting was
called to order in the gymnasium, with
about twenty-five gentlemen present. Quite
a discussion took place, the tenor OF which
was that Butte was in position to organize
and maintain a first-class ball club, and
that the steps looking to that end should
be taken at once. The question OF location
talked over and it was agreed that
suitable grounds could be had west OF the
city, and that they could be prepared
fitted up for a moderate sum. In regard to
the nine, there a be no question but that
Butte has to-day the material for a nine
that would be superior to any west OF
Kansas City. The gentlemen present were
a unit in their action and when the meeting
adjourned it was with the determination to
pitch in at once and secure the necessary
funds to carry out the plans liked upon
The following officers were elected: Presl'
dent, Milo French; ce-Presidents, M. B.
