The Reservation Bill.

Report comes that Senator Dawes has
portion of the reservation, and to
secure the REIMBURSEMENT of the Indian
title to the remainder. This Is step
in the right direction, and it is To the
Black Hills just now matter of tenfold
more importance than even state
hood as a whole, to say nothing of the
useless and damaging proposition Of
division Mr.. Dawes had promised
to present this bill at the earliest op-
portunity, and to labor for it's passage
We are glad to see that he is redeeming
his promise, and we hope he will sue
ceed And as most of the preliminary
work is done in caucus, the Back Hills
should have good strong delegation in
Washington TO exert all the influence,
and bring all the pressure to bear upon
congress that the urgency of the case
demands. Pierre, we understand, has
sent delegation down there, instructed
to work with might and main for the
passage of that bill. But we fear the
minds Of our public men are just now
too much occupied with the question of
how to divide the territory, TO give
much attention to a small matter Of this
kind. If you should look for them
about now. where do you think you
would find them, down at Washington
working in the interest Of the Black
Hills, by trying to secure the opening of
the Sioux reservation? Oh no, we guess
not! We rather think YOU will find
them down at Huron, attending the
| legislature of state that does not exist
Can anything be more ridiculous than
that? 1t proves what We haye claimed
all the time. They are working for
themselves. They care nothing for the
advancement Of the territory. There is
no spoils, no Office to be gained by open
ing up the Sioux reservation, making
way for the iron horse, and removing
the barrier that has held back for years
the westward tide Of emigration which
We need TO till our soil, to build up our
cities and to work our mines Such ia
the situation, and such are the facts that
confront us to-day. We speak as We

Effect of Sparks Rulings.

a great decrease in business is no.
ticcable at the land office, the direct re-
suit of the many unwarrantcd and un-
! Just rulings Of Commissioner Sparks,
who, if much longer given full swing,
will accomplish complete stagnation in
! this important department 1t is hop
ed and confidently believed, however,
that his days are numbered The situa-
| ton has been carefully presented To a
number Of senators who promise to give
the matter proper attention. Senator
Logan assures ~ correspondent that "un
doubtedly at the coming session Of con
gress the matter will be thoroughly
ventilated Whether it will be possible
to right those wrongs | cannot say. An
effort. at least, will be made in that di
rection.
Eastern Dakota is fairly aroused. At
Mitchell, on Friday, a largely attended
meeting was addressed by Judge Edg-
erton and others, and delegates elected
to attend q convention at Huron yester-
day, for the purpose Of consulting with
the Legislature relative TO the best course
to pursue"
The above we clip from the Press and
Dakotian. Indignation meetings in all
the frontier states and territories is moth
ing more under the circumstances than
would naturally be expected. The peo-
pie on the frontier are aroused at the
unreasonable and unjust rulings Of Com
missioner Sparks, especially if he should
which, judging from the wording and
from his instructions TO the officers of
the different land Offices IL was clearly
his intention lin the first place. to do,
though we understand he has recently
said, he did not intend to interfere with
the work Of his predecessors, except
where fraud was made apparent, in
which case, Of course, il would be his
duty to see that the requirements of the
law were fulfilled So far il is all right.
The men who compose these indigna-
ticn gatherings all over the west, are
not rising to defend robbers or to vindi-
cate swindlers. They rise to vindicate
their just rights, under just law, Justly
construed. The law is published and
they can all read it, and they all know
what their rights are under the law. 1t
is plain. there il no chance for any mis-
construction If Mr. Sparks thinks the
government is parting with its lands on
too easy terms, he has a right TO that
o Opinion. If he thinks 100 acres is as
much as one individual should acquire
| from the government, he has the right
to think so. But it is plain that the
men who made the law did not think
50, else they never would have laid
down the different plans by which a
citizen might acquire land on the public
domain Namely, the pre- emption act,
the homestead act, the timber culture
act, aud the desert act. If Mr.. Spark :
is in favor of repeating these acts, all
/ save one, the homestead act, he can
1 frame his bill and have it introduced in
congress, where alone the power resides
to confirm, amend. or annui these acts.
| As it is, his rulings are like unto the rul-
| ings of the Irish Judge, who, when the
attorney arose and said Your Honor,
! Tie law in this case reads so and SC" d"
"Set down. sir, set down" said the Judge,

The Omaha Bee is the most versatile

is like an immense stOrehouse whose

good one too and We would infer from the
manner in which the writer commences,
that he had been on the ground. and
had caught the rhapsody that is impart-
ed to every lover Of nature that once
gazes on the charming landscape OF
these ebony elevations. Here is a
sample:
1T was evening. The golden glow of
the setting sun, that tinged the peaks
with crimson, was fast fading into pur-
pie. The stars came peeping out one by
one from the vault of blue, the mists
gathered on the streams, the wind trav,
ersed the narrow valley, and darkness
slowly settled over the earth. 1t was q
strange land-a land Of towering noun
tain peaks, not tall enough To sometimes
reach above the clouds. At the foot OF
these mountains are many narrow val
leys, and in every valley was small
stream winding its way to the mighty
Missouri river. Their surface was GOV.
cred with floating leaves which the
wind scattered upon them; for the
month was September and the land was
the then weird Black Hills"

Of laughter and applause. Senator Sher-
man spoke for about an hour. The
purity OF the ballot was his principal
hobby. He declared that every national
election since 1868 had been tainted
with fraud, and terrorism, and shak-
ing his fist ut the White House, he
asserted that last year, by unlawful COM
bination and fraud, Grover Cleveland had
been elected President of the United
States, when, il there had been a fair vote
and q fair count. James G.. Blaine would
have been elected. He said many other
things illustrative Of his immense powers

Cleveland was elected by fraud is edifying,
