Fine Dakota Lands Opened Up.

SpeCldi 10 Lue 0lOUe.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The executive
| order signnd yesterday throwing open to set
| Element the greater part of the Winnebago
and Grow creek reservations in Dakota will
put about 100000 acres of the finest land in
| the Northwest on the market. The terri
| tory thus opened is east of the Missouri river
| and just south of Pierre. Secretary Teller
decided several weeks ago to open the reser-
walton, but withheld the announcement of the
matter awaiting the action of congress with
the presumption repeal, as both the president
and Teller were committed to the repeal.
| They preferred to have Crow creek
and Winnebago lands come into the market
after the passage of the repeal by congress.
In such an event it could be opened only to
homestead settlement. Yesterday, being
satisfied there was no hope for the passage of
the repeal, there were no reasons for delay,
and the proper order was drawn up and
signed. The lands thus opened will be sur
yeyed and put on the market within sixty
days. Delegate Raymond is entitled to great
credit. as it was chiefly through his efforts
that the lands were opened.
The EACIIEMENT.
Special to the Globe:
MITCHELL, OAK, March 1.-Great excite
ment prevails at this place and Chamberlain
and all points between. A report was circu-
lated by gentlemen who have just arrived
from Washington that the Crow Creek res
eryation was opened by executive order Fri
day afternoon. Hundreds of squatters have
rushed on the unoccupied land and built
shanties and the land Office at this point has
been besieged all day by parties seeking to
put on filings. AS no official notice of the
order has been received the filings are re-
fused. The report that the reservation is
opened has circulated far and wide and the
rush for land bids fair to equal the great
boom during the spring of 1882.
| Special 20 the Globe.
PIERRE, OAK, March Upon the receipt
of dispatch that the Winnebago reservation
is opened, about one hundred of our citizens
will bic themselves hence tomorrow morn
ing and locate. The best lands in this
region will be rapidly taken. People from
the East must get to the front Immediately.

aspirations for the other. Lamar's strongest
motive in entering the cabinet was to make
place for Wathall and have the latter here
in Washington with him. Even now, if La
mar felt assured that he could not succeed
in getting Walthall appointed senator,
his closest friends believe he would
refuse to go into the cabinet,
but as Gen. Lowry is anxious for renomi-
natior, and as that would be pretty well as
sured by securing the active support OF both
Lamar and Walthall and their numerous
friends, it is not believed ne would commit
political suicide by refusing Lamar's request
Lamar now says to his friends he would not
have the state department, and the remarks
he has made on the subject have led to the
inference that he might have had it. He
said he would like the duties of the position
except those of a social nature. He would
be failure in flirting and feasting foreign

A MISSISSIPPI VIEW.

ST. LOUIS, March l. dispatch to the
Globe-Democrat from Canton, Miss, says:
1.-The friends of Gen. E. c. Walthall, in vari-
Gus parts of this state, are petitioning Gov.
Lowry TO appoint him successor to Senator
Lamar in the event Of the latter accepting a
cabinet position. The friends of Congress
man Barksdale and Congressman Singleton
are also urging them for the position. AS
al. three of these gentlemen are understood
to desire the position and will be candidates
therefor before the legislature of 1885, it is
intimated Gov. Lowry will not forestall the
public with or enhance the chances of either
one Of them by temporary appointment,
but will appoint suitable successor to Mr.
Lamar from among those not seeking it, for
instance Judge Watson, Judge Wharton or
Col. Percy.

paper currency is undergoing contraction
by the surrender of bank notes. If this state
OF things is to last, upon what is there TO
build the hope of returning prosperity 2
In the last three years, according 10 Lon
don economist, prices have fallen more than
30 per cent. That is, money has appre-
ciated in that ratio In quarter of cen-
fury following the gold discoveries the Cali
fornia aud Australia stock of precious metals
in use as money was increased by nearly 40
per cent. The trade and commerce of Great
Britain and the United States during the
same period increased more than four fold
and the wealth proportionally.
Reverse these conditions. Shut off all the
money supply and what room for hope is
there for mankind except for those whose in
comes are surel With the appreciation of
money all debts appreciate. When 1t is re
membered that such debts run into the tens
of biilions-nore than the entire present
wealth OF the United States-thc vast conse-
quences OF the appreciation Of money are
seen. The control of feudal lords over the
earth in the middle ages was Insignificant
compared with the control of the
modern creditor. or kings and lords who
through legislation can secure an increase in
the value of money. 1t can be shown that
It will take more labor or more of the pro-
dGee OF labor to pay what remains o. our

The immediate effect of stopping the coinage
of silver must necessarily be to lower the
preciatc the value of gold the world over.
The difficulties in the way Of establishing an
international ratio so much desired, or of a
readjustment of the relative value to gold
here, would thereby be increased. How
it is possible for such things to
take place as was predicted in the last para
graph of the letter It'll difficult to see. Gold
is to be withdrawn to its boarding places
followed by an unprecedented contraction in
the actual volume of our currency. Such
contraction it has been shown must be fol-

PUBIC SPELLING.
Ir accordance with an old custom

In accordance with an old custom
that formerly prevailed in our coun-
ty, II Senator, a. w, Graham, and
our Representative, c. ". John.
ston, addressed the people On Tues
day of Court, giving an account OF
their stewardship in the Leglsla-
ture. The crowd was large and
very attentive and seemed to ap-
prove heartily Of the action Of the
above named gentlemen, except on
the fence law, upon which they are
somewhat divided, the majority,
however, being decidedly in favor OF
10 fences. This is a question that
time alone Will demonstrate the
wisdom of. But as it has worked
so well in other counties, let Us hope
that it will prove beneficial to ours.
The laws passed ought to marx al
Improvement in our system, if they
are properly executed. Now let our
officers look we'll to it.

TO German naval drill. Radical
changes made by the German officer
in command we're too much for the
Mongolian marines, however, and
the experiment was abandoned and
Captain Lane, of the British navy,
asked to return. Chinese nature is
not sufficiently mobile to bear an
abrupt change of system in anything.
Perhaps the Government of that
empire regarded Germany, as the
more recent enemy of France, the
better source from which to obtain
officers capable of dealing with the
French invaders.

PERIlS OF THE STREET.

The police need some stirring up.
Piles of lumber are left here and
there on the sidewalks at night with
out lights to warn pedestrians of the
great peril to their limbs. This nui-
sance is particularly rife in the
Chinese quarters, but other parts of
the town are not free from similar
evidences of slothful patrol by the
public guardians. There is, or was
few evenings ago, a very danger
Gus pitfall in the sidewalk at one of
the darkest points on that miserably
lighted thoroughfare, Queen Street.
The shock sustained by an unsus-
pecting pedestrian, in suddenly
stumbling into the cavity, is quite
sufficient to produce the most serious
results in the cases of delicate per-
sons. 1t is dis9raceful that the
capital of pretentious kingdom,
comprising so much of wealth and
refinement among its inhabitants as
Honolulu, should have foot-paths
and police supervision of them
scarcely better, if equal, to those OF
the rawest mining or numbering vii
lage on the confines of civilization.
Surely this reproach can be removed
whether we get municipal incorpora'
ton or not.

FALSEH0ODs EXPLODED.

Montreal papers received by last
mail confirm our estimate of the
account recently sent broadcast,
asserting slight upon the Queen at
the banquetof the National Club.
They also show that the reports of q
smallpox epidemic in that city have
been grossly exaggerated. There is
no more of that disease there, in
proportion to the population, than
there was in this port on the arrival
of the Yamashiro Maru. Most of
such rumors derogatory to the repu-
tation of the Canadian people and
commercial metropolis represent the
lasting spite of James Gordon Bennett
for slight himself and party re-
ceived from Ottawa society during
the regime of the Marquis of Lorne
and Princess Louise. All through
the recent troubles the Herald had
nothing but ridicule and false re-
ports of reverses for the brave citizen
soldiery of Canada, and unmerited
praise and credit for victories never
won to bestow upon the murderous
Indians and half-breeds. In pleasing
contrast to such conduct may be
noted the tone of the respectable
press of the Northern States toward
Canada. The Detroit papers, in
particular, are cordial and even en-
thusiastic in congratulating the
Dominion upon its management OF
the first war ever conducted by it
without aid from the Mother Country.
