To Representative Cutcheon of Mich.
igan belongs the credit of having Sc.
cured the adoption by the House. a
few days since, of an amendment to
the Indian bill, the effect of which, il
it becomes a law, will be to simplify
the "Indian problem" and greatly
promote the success of efforts in behalf
of Indian civilization. 1t provides that
an Indian, either on or off an Indian
reservation, who shall commit crime
against the person or property OF
another Indian or other person shall
be subject to the same laws and penal
ties and tried in the same courts and
in the same manner &c white person
who commits q like offense. The
crimes named in the amendment are
murder, manslaughter, rape, arson, as
sault with intent to kill, burglary and
theft. The amendment also provides
that an Indian, whether belonging 10 o
reservation or not, can bring suits at
law or equity in civil cases in the same
manner as white person. and tina. In
dams shall be competent witnesses in
the trial of civil as well as criminal
causes. An amendment similar to the
one adopted was voted by the House
at the last session, but it was rejected
in the Senate because it covered as
sault and battery and other simple
misdemeanors. 1t is probable that
this one will be accepted by the Senate.

An investigation made by the Ohio
legislature discloses the fact that the Bell
Telephone company is not only most
outrageous monopoly, but it il also an
artful tax dodger. The report Of the
legislative committee shows that this
company has $40, 700 invested in 1900
instruments used in the state Of Ohio,
from which it draws an annual rental of
$4,000, or six times the amount of cap
ital invested. This is an extortion be-
yond all precedent, and cannot be sub
mitted to by the public. While the
patient laws are designed TO protect the
inventor, they are not intended to be-
come the instrument Of public robbery.
No company controlling a patent, no
matter how valuable, has any right to
exact such an enormous tribute as this
for its use. 1t was also developed in the
investigation that the Bell company only
pays tax on each instrument at valua-
ton of $3.50, whereas they have a net
rental value Of so each year. These
development leads the CHsoSIcLE TO in
quire once more if Montana is not in the
hands Of similar monopoly.

Col. Wallace, special agent of the de-
partment of justice at Washington, was in
st. Paul yesterday, on his way to the North
west. He was very much disgusted at the
dispatch published in morning paper
from Brainerd, in which it was stated that
he had just completed his report on the
various Indian questions affecting the Min
neSota reservations, the matter of injury to
the government dams, the selling of LIQUOR
to Indians, the removal of the Indians, and
that he had made certain recommendations
to the president. On being questioned as
to the truth of the matters, he said: They
are all false. ! have made no such report.
and the man in Brainerd who wrote that
dispatch made it up out of whole cloth. 1t
is from beginning to end nothing but one
continuous string of falsehoods. l have
not made any such report on the Indian
question or about their removal.
These and similar reports are continually
being sent out from Brainerd. There is
some fellow up there who is sending these
reports out. ain tired of them and don't
propose to stand this kind of business. He

condition of the weather or excited the pop
ulace. When the Minnesota d Northwest
ern train came in an hour late this after
noon, the half dozen newspaper men that
had been awaiting the junketers were
agreeably surprised to find a good-natured
crew on board the special car assigned the
st. Paul officials. City Attorney Murray's
grizzled mustache and smiling face were the
first that appeared on the platform OF the
car. Then Ansel Oppenheim, Chief Clark,
Dick OConner. Gates Johnson, who
smiled through his Norwegian-colored
beard, Jimmy Nugent and the rest OF the
party showed up.

Dakota Railroad commissioners
Taking n Trim i'm South IN kOfa


Taking a Trip i'm South Dakota.
Ell. G. Plumley, managing editor of the
Fargo Argus, came in last night from a
weeks trip of inspection with the Dakota
railroad commissioners over the lines of the
Northwestern road in South Dakota. The
party under the charge of Assistant Gen
eral Superintendent Sanborn of the North
western road consisted of Commissioners
Capt. Griggs of Grand Forks, Col. w. NJ.
Evans of Milbank, w. III. McVey of Yank-
ton, Secretary l. E. West, Fargo. and Gen.
Dennis of Fargo, a guest. Being inter
viewed last night, Mr.. Plumley said
that the commissioners found matters
along the lines in satisfactory condition,
but few complaints being made. The citi
Zens of ElktOn wanted Y at Elkton to
connect with the Burlington road
at Brookings to enable them to reship
material for the agricultural college at that
point and to export the product of large
Touring mill, without transferring.
At Aberdeen complaint was made
that the Chicago, Milwaukee Il
st. Paul road had built its coal sheds
across the street and that no crossing was
laid over the tracks, and the depot was in
bad condition, being too small. A Y was
also wanted to connect this road with
the Northwestern. The latter road has
already taken action toward accedng to
this demand. The branch of the North
western road, running between Center
vile and Yankton and for which the citi-
zens Of the latter place paid $4,000 for
the grade and right of way, is completed
eight miles, and if the graders fulfill their
contract. the road will be finished in two
weeks. The roundhouse at Yankton
is ready for occupancy. These were the
only points of any particular importance OF
the trip, and the party returned praising the
courtesies shown them by Cicerone San
horn
