INDIAN RESERVATIONS.

The Billings (Montana) GAZETTE con-
talns timely criticism on the evils of the
the present reservation system, infcrfer-
ing with the development of nearly all
the territories.
We are now having another example OF
the beauties of the reservation system.

sary to establish a picket line 200 miles
long on the northern boundary Of the re

free to descend on the settlements of
Northern Wyoming. which country they
have recently paid some attention to.

The only way to keep them in order is to
ship them to Indian territory or settle
them on land in severalty IN compact com
munities, so that but a portion of the
army will be required to stand guard over

claim the great American desert. AS long
as these great reservations are maintained,
the Indians will remain in a savage con
dition. and the settlers will be liable to
despoliation at their hands. By opening
the reservations the sales of land would
return sufficient funds to cover all neces-
sary expenses of the Indian department.

1t must be a grand thing to be a Cos

and has accordingly issued an injunction
on all that Wednesdays and Fridays,

To members of the western church such
a mandate might be severe, but in Russia
it is very serious indeed. Easter Lent
lasts there for %seventy-nine days; and

extending in all over ninety days and
sometimes more, which means that for
more than half the year the Russian SOL

SURVEYOR AND ROAD SUPER
VISOR.


Capt. X. L. Edwards, the Democratic
nominee for county surveyor. is a native
of Pennsylvania and has passed many
years in the army, having first come to
this New Northwest as an officer of the
18th infantry, which in ls66 and 1867
was stationed in Montana. Capt. Ed
wards commanded the first Indian scouts
organized in that territory and was en-
gagged in the protection Of the settlements
from depreciation. He also participated
in all the engagements Of the 9TH cavalry
in Indian territory. Nebraska and Wyo-
ming in 1868 and 1869. In the latter
year he was assigned to duty at Fort
Russell as adjutant of the post, and in
October, 1870, was present at Fort Lara
ME on the occasion of signing the treaty
with Red Cloud. In the same year
Capt. Edwards resigned from the army
and adopted the profession of a civil engi-
neei, which he has ever since followed
with distinction and success, with the ex-
ception ofa year spent in China and
japan in the service of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company. Among the i'm
portant enterprises with which he has
been professionally connected are the con-
struction of the Northern Pacific and the
Oregon railway. Capt. Edwards is now
in the employ of the Cheyenne & North
crn, actively engaged in experimenting
its construction, and since returning to
Cheyenne has renewed his acquaintance
with nearly all the old timers, r~eviving
the pleasant memories Of other days. The
new duties imposed upon the county sur
veyor by the irrigation laws render the
Office of even greater importance than it
has heretofore been, and render it essen
tial that it should be filled by a skill
full and competent engineer such
as Capt. Edwards undoubtedly is.
The Office OF county supervisor of roads,
created by the ninth legislature, is one in
volving the discharge of duties highly i'm
portant to the public and requiring a
thorough knowledge of the country, in
telligent perception of its practical wants
and on impartial fairness in giving the
needed attention to all parts of the county
alike. In these necessary qualifications,
no man could possibly be found better
suited for the place than John A. Mar
tin, who has been named as the Demo-
cratic candidate for road supervisor. Born
in New York in 1852, he came to Wyom-
ing as an employe of the government. in
1872 and has since been continuously @ !
resident of the territory lie was for
several yaas a deputy sheriff, during the
administrations of Sheriffs Carr, Draper
and S%harpless, and in the course of his
service became thoroughly familiar with
all parts Of the county by actual travel,
and acquired a wide acquaintance with its
people. At that time, the sheriff was
also collector of taxes, and this fact helped
to extend Mr.. Martins acquaintance with
taxpayers. He has also served crcditably
for two years as superintendent Of water.
ways for the city OF Cheyenne. Mr.. Martin
is at present business manager of the Wey-
biecht sash, door and blind factory in this
city, enjoys an enviablc reputation for
capacity and intelligence, and will I'M
doubleday prove an efficient public officer.

WHEN the shortcomings of the ninth
assembly are taken into consideration, as
well as the fact that the little good it ac-
complished was OF such natur AZ to have
commended itself TO any Legislative body,
all voters, not utterly blinded by partisan
prejudice, must recognize the imperious
necessity of a change. The Democratic
candidates, representing every vital in
dus'ry and no special or conflicting inter
est. would enter Upon the work Of law
making and law revising with a determin-
alton to avoid all class legislation and to
secure the rights of all their constituents
to the fullest extent possible, and con-
sistent with the due observance of organic
law. That they are capable and fully
qualified for the task is a generally recog-
nized fact.

The Democracy of Wyoming Territory,
in convention assembled, declare as fol-
lows
That the principles of the Democratic
party as enumerated in its platform
adopted by the national Democratic con
vention at Chicago on July 10, 1854, are
the rule aud guide of our political faith;
That we affirm the principle enumera-
ted in our national plotfofm. that the fed
eral officers in the territories should be
restricted to citizens previously resident
therein;
That we believe that the interests of our
territory demand n reorganization OF the
judicial and executive departments of our
territorial government;
That the growing interests OF our terri
tory demand increased facilities in our
mail service;
That we believe in nominating and
electiDg men to the different Offices wholly
upon the ground of principles, merit and

test against the controlling influence of
wealth in our elections, and pledge our

providing for arbitration between en-
pioyers and employed, and to enforce the
decisions of the arbitrators;
That we demand the abrogation of all
laws that do not bear equally upon capital
and labor, and the removal of unjust tech
nicalitics. delays and determinations in the
administration of justice;
That we condemn the many hasty, OPP
pressive and illegal laws passed by our
last legislature. the enforcement of which
will lead to endless litigation, defeat the
melting out of justice to the people of our
territory. and deprive them of vested
rights;
That We condemn the importation of
foreign contract and pauper labor;
That we oppose the alien ownership Of
land in this territory.

A BACKWARD GLANCE.

The Cheyenne SIM in Its issue of Oct.
%, 1883. gave the following account of
the Schwartze' S ranch outrage:
The scenes at the ranch of Mr. Fred
Schwartze last Sunday show that a popu-
lar belief in the general reign Of law and
order is n case of misplaced confidence.
During the day fourteen men belonging to
the 90 outfit stopped at the ran III.
They fred volley after volley from their
revolvers. shooting inlo whisky barrels,
through windows, into the roof and floors,
at a passing stage. and even recklessly
towards the women who live in the house.
Mrs. Schwartze became alarmed and at
tempted to run from the premises. She
was observed, was covered with n revolver
in the hands ola drunken cowboy and was
made to return. After the men had
drank all they wanted and raised merry
hades until the sport had become stale,
they departed. In justice to the other
men in the party. it il proper to state that
two men were guilty of the outrapes of
the day. The outfit had two women with
them. and shameless deeds were unblush-
ingly performed. Mr.. Schwartze was
absent at the time, and the drunken
scoundrels therefore escaped unframed.

institute where they can get the training
you desire To fit them for your work Open
al account with them: when you send
them away, charge the expense 10 them as
you pay it out; and when they graduate,
and you put them i'll the mill, give them
10 understand that if they prove them
selves worthy of the trust You will make
them sharers of the profits.
You will get blank once in a while but
as a rule you will get young men who will
help tu carry your burden, while you do
the thinking And your business secrets
will he kept Besides to have half dozen
young men coming up in this way will ele-
vate the tone OF your works. Instead Of
one owner going through the mill once or
twice day. there will he an owner in
sight somewhere all the time. You can
