A Candidate for the Hansman

Galveston, Dec, 3l-A News special
from Austin says Eustacio Martinez, a
Mexican, about forty years old, was ar
rested last night on suspicion of being
implicated in the mysterious murders
which have recently startled the citi-
zens OF Austin. He lived in o secluded
spot near the river and a search of his
premises resulted in the discovery of
bloody garments and among several
articles found was an ice hook,
such as experts declare might
have been used in murder.
Mrs. Ramsey and daughter aeveral
months ago found a prayer book with
the name of Ella r. Ramsey written on
the title page. They also found two
handkerchiefs, one of which bore the in
itials u. r." worked In silk and the
other marked "a" Detectives think
that the arrest of Martinez will clear
away the mystery of the outrage and

the prisoner with the assault upon the

Relative to Dakota matters Senator
Harrison says: 1.-THE fight that is being
made against the admission of Dakota
into statehood is one of the most selfish
and unjust that has ever waged against
any people. If congress refuses to ad-
nit the people to the right of statehood
they will simply be despotic and tyran-
nicai. 10 keep 100000 people in a terri
tory is like b%anishing them. We often
refer to the days of the inquisition and
the oppressive laws in England and the
exiting of the inhabitants of Russia, and
all that kind of thing; but if we are to
refuse these people in Dakota the COM
mon rights of American citizens, we do
as bad aseven did the tyrants of these
old countries. They have passed the
point OF population and thrift which
entitle them to come into statehood,
and | don't wonder that they are almost
exasperated when refused admission. It
wonld not be natural if they we're to re-
volt and refuse to obey these laws of the
United States which are now thrown
over them. They have simply that
which is oppressive, and nothing which
relieves them and helps them to de-
yelop. Itbegins to look as though the
territory would become a state by an act
OF this congress. If not however, the
injustice will be sc fragrant that 1t is sure
to react upon the party which refuses
Dakota admission TO the statehood

THE INDIAN QUESTION


Washington, Dec. 50-The Star says
that in his report upon the work OF the
special Indian committee, who visited
various reservations during the summer
recess of congress, Mr.. Holman is going
to recommend the appointment of a
commission to take the matter in
charge, giving land in severalty to such
of the Indians as are far enough ad-
vanced in civilization to warrant such
action, and assembling the rest in one
locality as far as practicable. At present,
he says, the reservations are scat
tered all W. the country, and their
lands are useless to the Indians in many
cases. Some of these lands should be
sold in their interest, and such of the
indians as are friendly should be put
upon the same reservation in certain
cases, and kept there until ultimately
they have reached that state of civil.
cation that would warrant their having
lands in seyeralty and becoming citizens
There are some cases where it would not
do to move the Indians from their pres.
ent locality or to interfere with'them, as
their attachment to their homes 10 very
strong. In most such cases land in
severalty should be given them.

 Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Atkins, after, a thorough examination into the Crow Creek Reservation troubles, has decided that the tract in question is covered by the treaty of 1868, and that Secretary Teller's order throwing it open to settlement by whites, IS null and void.
 This order was one of Teller's last acts and it is said to have been done in the interest of certain Dakota land spectators. The civilized Winneba- goes who occupy the land, had no notice of Teller's intention, and in three hours after the order was issued a large number of whites swarmcd on to the reservation, and against the protests of the peaceable Winneba. goes proceeded to "pre-empt" the farms which the Indians had held and cultivated for years. The Interior Department will recommend to the President that Teller's order be re- roked, and justice in this case prom ises to bespeedy.
 Another alleged outrage on Indians, which Teller sought to perpetrate, has been rectiied by the new Secretary of the Interior. Teller withdrew patents for farms in Washington Ter ritory which had been issued to I68 Tacoma Indians, heads of families. Teller was influenced to do this by ex-Senator Mitchell. The latter was acting as agent for the Northern Pa cifc Railroad, which corporation was deSirlous ot securing these lands. Senator Dawes was instrumental in defeating this fraudulent scheme, and Tn response to his protest the Interior Department has ordered that patents to these farms be issued to the In dians.
 We are fortunate in being rid Of Teller. Hts administration of the h. terror Department was not in the in terest of the Indians nor the white residents of the Western States and Territories, but to serve his own ends and specuations.

ALL Americans, irrespective of party, will be pleased to see the ener- getiC way in which the administration of President Cleveland is meeting the ruftian violence of a few ragamuffin> who have, at Aspinwall and else where, usurped the functions of the Republic of Columbia. When the dignity of the United States is con- cerned, action should not only be in start but eficaciUus. There should be nothing of a "Shoo Fly" burlesque when 1t comes to asserting the pres tige of the premier republic of the world. A few frst-ClaSs massacres in the neighborhood of Colon and Pana- ma would be both wholesome and saIutary in the premises. But Score tary Whitney should not commit the mistake of sending a boy to do a mans errand. There are intimations m the telegraph that the marines who have been detailed to Asplnwall are not supplied with the latest modern arms of precision. All Americans will hope that this is not so. It would be crime to dispatch our brave tars without all the latest niceties of latter civilized warfare.

As regards the women clerks in the departments at Washington, the fol lowing gives the true condition of af. fairs, and is rebuke to the scoundrel- ly abuse of privilege of which the press has been guilty for years:
 One thing should be borne Tn mind, and that is, as general thing, bad woman does not wish for an office, with its close and confining labor and early rising and long hours of toll. It is the good and honest women who do this. Some bad characters get in to the departments, and this sort Of thing is grossly exaggerated. The vast majority of the female employees are elderly women, widows and rela- lives of soldiers, and the courage and high standing in reputation of these thousands of women of all conditions filling the vast government offices and workshops, with no other protection than their own sense of honor and honesty, is enough tomake the Ameri- can proud of his countrywoman. The departments are full of women gently and tenderly reared, ladies by birth and breeding, but whom the cruelties of fate and reverses have obliged to seek their living by the labor of their hands, and to such the government Is a godsend. In the departments are daughters and widows of men who have been high in place and honor and wealth. Many of the women bear names famous in the history of the country. In one office sits the daughter of United States Senator. There are many ladies in the depart, ments daughters of cabinet officers, congressman, governors, etc.
