PuxiItsm tn Hixh Life.

Washington Special: There was
very lively scene in the gentlemen's
dressing room Of the Stewart castle last
night, upon the occasion of Mrs. Stew
art throwing open her house for gen.
eral reception to the official and fashion
able society Of Washington. A son of
Congressman holman struck Senior
Don Carlos de Castro, secretary of the
Venezuelan legation, in the mouth and
knocked him down. Friends of both
parties lnterfered to prevent general
tight, and in the struggle several blows
were exchanged between other excited
young men. Young Holman was gotten
out af the house and the row hushed up
without it becoming generally known.
The cause of the assault of young Hol-
man was his attempts to resent an inn
pertinence addressed to young lady
friend of his who was at the Stewart
ball. The guilty man was an attaehe of
one of the South American legations.
Holman was SO furious IN his desire to
avenge the affront that he rushed of
with an imperfect description of the
guilty diplomat. He thought De Cas-
tro was in no way to blame. Young
Holman has apologized, bat De Castro
has declined any apology. and will de.
mand personal satisfaction. Meanwhile
young Holman is looking for the real Of
fender, and at the same time is not un.
willing TO fight duel if necessary. The
incident is one of the greatest social
sensations of the season.

The wires inform us that bills already
in the legislature represent appropria-
tions to the amount of 100000. This
added to the present territorial debt of
e4OO, 900 will swell the liabilities of the
territory to s1,100OOO. Other bills call.
ing for appropriations will be introduced
before the session closes. With these
appalling figures before us is it not time
for the legislature to call halt and
cease this reckless extravaganza? Grand
Forks asks for 5000, 900 for its university.
Thirty thousand dollars has already
been expended on that institution and
the territory will be fully as wise and
happy if not another cent goes into it
for years to come. Normal school bills
are going in like shower, each calling
for the expenditure of public money.
This thing has gone too far.

Indian Affairs.

Washington, Jan. 25-Indian Com
missioner Price takes exceptions to state
ments made in the house during the re-
cent debate on the Indian appropriation
bill, that the suffering among the Indi-
ans of the northwest from starvation
last winter was due to lack in the ap.
preparation. The commissioner in his
last annual report says on this subject
"The suffering of these Indians for lack
of food was attributed directly and en-
tirely first to the fact that the appropri.
ations for them were not made until
three months after they should have
been made, and second, that when made
the amount was less than was asked 70,
by this Office, and consequently insntti.
cient for the absolute wants of these In-
dians." A transcript made by ,he com.
missioner from the estimates asked TO-,
and the amount appropriated show.
that congress gave $92, 10 less t:an til.
estimates. The commissioner state,
that there has been no suffering amuue
the Indians from this cause since las
July.

decreasing during the last ten or twelve
years, and it is proposed to supply the
deficiency BY native produce in the
United States. Tin is now worth
an average Of $4OO ton in the
United States. The duties on tin and
tin products range from thirty to forty
per cent. In certain tin products used
for canning purposes the English manu.
facturer has hitherto led the monopoly
OF the American market, and the high
duty imposed has not affected the de-
mand for the metal in this shape. The
consumers of American canned fish and
meats simply pay the enhanced price
which the duty on the article necessary
for the process Of preservation entails.
The canning of fish on the great salmon
rivers OF the west at present depends for
material on tin sheets imported from
England, but should the working OF the
Eta mine lead to extensive discoveries
Of this metal in the Black Hills of Da-
kota. or in other districts where it is sup.
posed to exist, the English exporting
products will. to great extent, lose the
United market"

A recent communication dated at
Mitchell contains the following para
graph:
Late telegraphic newe indicates that
Mitchell stands fair show of taking the
United States court from Yankton. A
gentle smile is visible on many interested
faces, and the people are jubilant over
the prospect. The court is no small
affair. In dollars and cents it is worth
more than the capital, though of course
the latter carries with it prestige and
surface Importance not equalled by any
other government institution. But
Mitchell will take the court as starter,
and be in the race for anything else
floating around seeking q bonus and
hearty welcome. Representative Bow
dies action on the capital bill is gener.
ally commended.
Sioux Falls condemns its council rep
resentative because he would not accept
the bribe of promise of this court and
hold his peace SO far as q we'll deserved
rebuke of the capital commission act
was concerned. Mitchell commends its
council representative because he
yielded to the Establishments oi
the opposing force and abandoned
his alliance with the south
for the promise of bauble. That MIR
Pettigrew acted from principle there can
be no doubt. He knows and his con-
stituents know the capital commission
act to be an infamy which should be
stamped out by the righteous voice o
the representatives of the people. H
knows it was consummated by seriel
of bargains wherein equivalents were
delivered for votes. To yield to the in
huence of the aiders and abettors OF
this scheme for price would be but a
recognition on his part of the bargain
and sale system which finds SO many
vosarles in the legislative gatherings oi
Dakota. And Mr.. Pettigrew had the
manhood to stand up and say that M
honors or emoluments should go to hi
people as the price of moral weakness
on his part. Which of these two repre-
sentatives will be most respected for hi
course we leave it to the future to az
sert.
A mans craftsmanship is measured ii
many communities by his capacity t,
carry off plunder. Without regard t,
the means employed, successful resul
in this department elevates the operate
to the plane Of intellectually occupied
by the best minds of the country.
| The desire to move the United State
court from Yankton originated in th
minds of the capital boomers of tw
years ago. It is desire for reveng
more than one of utility. It is no
claimed that there is any impropriet
in holding sessions of this court q
Yankton-but Yankton fought the capi
tai commission and she must writhe an
suffer for daring to uphold the right. I
is scheme of the north, strengthene,
by the cupidity of individuals in th
south.
