MAI. BALDWIN of Ohio the newly ap-
pointed agent for the Blackfeet Indians of
Montana, left yesterday for the scene of his
duties. The genial major has never been in
the Northwest before. Nor has he ever en-
joyed an intimate acquaintance with the
Northwestern savage in all his native SIM
plicity; but he is just bubbling over with the
enthusiasm and zeal characteristic of the
newly-appointed otficeholder. He purposes
inaugurating radical reforms among his
charges. Fancy" he is said to have de-
clared. "a tribe so neglectfui OF the ordinary
requirements of civilization, so careless of
the condition of their exit entities, as to have
ever gained the name of blackfeet. Now
this is all wrong. Without frequent and
thorough ablution, civilization cannot be
maintained. have firmly determined to rec
tify the evil, AMI to that end have made re-
QUESTION on the government for a hundred
boxes of the best toilet soap. 1 am confident
that in time / can accomplish much toward
elevating the standard of the tribe" and with
an air of savoir foire characteristic of tn @
Ohio man, the major sauntered out to give an
order for gross of scrubbing brushes.

PROvIDENT GOV. PIERCE.

With that ready evasion which long
career as newspaper man has so well
taught him, Gov. PIERCE of Dakota has
frustrated pretty nearly every attempt to dis
cover whether he had any further political
ambition when the time should come for
him to give up the gubernatorial chair 10
some deserving Democrat. With shrewd-
ness born of long experience in campaign
work, the governor has hitherto eff
fectually masked his plans. Certain
recent developments. however, have
led to the belief that he is looking yearn-
ingly towards Washington and has definitely
made up his mind that should an anxious
people demand his succession to Delegate
GIFFoRD, he will endeavor to yield grace
fully. Rumor indeed has it that on a trim
to the National capital. the governor wan
dered into the house and slipping into the
present delegates seat was more than
satisfied with its comfortable dimensions.
in fact so well pleased was he that then
and there it occurred to him that at least
two years occupancy of that chair would
be exceedingly comfortable. The governor,
too, has been conducting his campaign with
exceptional shrewdness. He has endeavored
to antagonlze no faction, and has tried to
extend his acquaintance all over the terri
tory with public men whose votes might

HOW THE GRANT WAS GIVEN.

HOW THE GRANT WAS GIVEN.
A correspondent writing for himself and
other Dakotians, wants to know whether
the Northern Pacific railroad received more
than one land grant and how the grant was
given. BY the original charter, approved
July 2. 1864, the road was given every al
ternate section of public land, not mineral,
designated by odd numbers, to the amount
OF twenty alternate sections per mile on
each side of the railroad line where it passes
through the territories, and ten alternate
sections were it passes through states.
Where the alternate sections are mineral
land, the company was given the right to
select other sections, called indemnity
lands. Thus, answering the inquirers
question more specifically, there was but
one general land grant extending the entire
length of the road. AS to the manner of
its requirement by the railroad. on the COM
pletion of each twenty-five miles of
the road, provision was made tor its
examination by government commissioners,
and upon their favorable report patents
were issued for so much of the land grant
lying on either side of the section thus fin
ished. AS to the time of the issuance of
these patents, there has been no regularity
They have been given from time to time as
the road progressed, the latest being now in
course of preparation in consequence of the
examination made few weeks since by the
commissioners of the Cascade branch Sec

Rail Notes.

All the railroads in St. Paul have issued a
round trip tariff over the whole length of
their roads to take effect June 8, 1885, which
reduces the round trip rate per mile to twen-
ty-fve per cent less than one-way rate.
This will be great saving to persons buying
round trip tickets and makes the rate cents
per mile, All the roads in the state are ar
ranging to do the same thing.
TIE Chicago, Milwaukee s. st. Paul road
has issued special tariff on agricultural i'm
plements and farm wagons in car loads, min
imum weight 10000 pounds from Chicago,
Milwaukee or Racine to stations on the fol-
lowing divisions: Iowa & Minnesota, Iowa &

AmALGAmATED ASSOCIATION.
POwderIY Urges a Union With the
KNIGHTS of Labor,

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 4.-The Amalga-
mated association of iron and steel workers
held but brief session this morning, and
then adjourned for committee work. Dur
ing the session a resolution was adopted
oomplimenting Hon. M. A. Foran of
Cleveland for the stand taken on the arb-
tration bill before congress. There is con-
siderable gossip among the delegates as to
who will be their officers next year. Presi-
dent Weihe will be opposed by Mr.. P. F.
Keeney Of Friendship lodge of this city,
Secretary Martin will be opposed by John
Cunningham of the West End lodge, and
James Tyson. the eX-assistant sec
rotary. From the opinion expressed
by delegates the vote will be close.
The afternoon session was taken up with
Master Workman Powderly, who visited
the convention by invitation. In the course
of his remarks he advised the Amalgamated
association of iron and steel workers to
join the Knights of Labor. He said:
The day is coming when all branches of
labor will come into closer relations with one
another. am here for the purpose Of thank
ing you for your kind reply to my recent let
ter, and to convey to this convention the
friendly greetings and the personal feelings
of the delegates who recently attended the
Knights of Labor convention in Cleveland. 1
can assure you that as far as am concerned,
and think voice the
| GENERAL SENTIMENT OF OUR BODY
that whether the Amalgamated association
comes into our order or not. the hand of SYM
patty and encouragement will be freely ten
dered them whenever needed There has
been no step made, and none will be made to
force the Amalgamated association to join the
Knights OF Labor. The matter of joining us
will be made optional with yourselves. If,
however, your organization should conclude
to form an alliance with the order repre-
sent, promise you that your order will not
only retain the right to govern your own bus
mess and retain your identity, but you will
have the sympathy and support of every
branch Of labor that goes to make up the
great order Of the knights of Labor.
Mr.. Powderly's address was received with
great applause by the delegates, and at its
close the speaker enjoyed an ovation of
handshaking for several minutes. Ar
rangements have been completed for the
Amalgamated tariff demonstration at Beaver.
Pa, tomorrow. If the weather is as
favorable as to-day it is expected that from
$4,000 to 10000 people will be present.
General Master Workman Powderly, it is
expected, will explain more fully his propo-
sition to the ironworkers to join the Knights
of Labor. Several congressman and promi-
nent political leaders will speak.
In an interview on the result of the
Cleveland convention tonight, Gen. Master
Workman Powderly stated that everythi
he asked, was granted. Said he:
We had no law to limit the indiscriminate
use Of the boycott. the entering into OF

that he will continue to asseverate his inten-

THE CONGRESSIONAL TIA

THE CONGRESSIONAL TANGLE.
Our Washington dispatches say that the
business Of congress is all in a tangle. It
is ever thus. If there is living man who
remembers when the business of congress
was not in tangle he must be very an
Gent person. 1t is no wonder that con-
gress gets its legislative thread tangled con-
sidering the number of bills which flood
each session. Speaker CARLISLE SAYS that
there have been 9, 12O bills and ITS joint
resolutions introduced in the house
this session. Of this number perhaps
not more than score were of such
general nature as to interest the whole
American people. Fully 5000 of them
were of purely individual or local char
acter, and yet each one of them goes
through the same routine as bills of general
interest. Each one is referred to a COM
mittee and consumes time in its eXamina-
ton. If the member who is the patron of
a particular bill succeeds in getting the floor
he will perhaps take up whole day in
discussing measure that does not interest
more than three persons, while legislation
that is of Importance to the SIS, 600, 600 peo-
pie is held in allegiance. Under a crude
system of rules that will permit such tom
foolery it is no wonder that congress gets
its affairs into tangle. The only wonder
is that it ever straightens out sufficiently to
find time for adjournment,

CLEVELAND, O., June 4.-The execu-

ing of the board the immediate work was

Milwaukee he will go to Yonkers

some grievance of trades unions before
naming the committee.

DEMOCRATIC SIMPLICITY.

Just at this time, when every incident
connected with the White house wedding is
gathered up and stored away in the national
memory, it is matter of some interest to
know how and by whom the wedding cake
was cut. The reputation of MIR. EUGENE
FIELD of the Chicago News is ample guar
antee of the truthfulness Of the story that
when the time came to cut the wedding
cake, Mr.. CLEVELAND went down into his
trouser pockets, and, hauling out an old
horn-handled jack-knife that had belonged
to his grandfather, handed it to the blush
ing bride, who proceeded to slice the cake
with this simple relic of ANDY JACKSON
days. Mr.. FIELD records the story in a
poem containing an equal amount of truth
and poetry.

LORD SALISBURY.
He Replies to MIR. Blaine and MIR.
Morley and Defines Coercion.

LONDON, June 4.-Lord Salisbury in the
house of lords this afternoon severely criti-
cised Mr.. Blain for his Portland speech
and Mr.. John Morley, chief secretary for
Ireland, because of his attack on the same
utterances attributed to the marquis which
Mr.. Blaine denounced. Lord Salisbury
said he must denounce the language used
by Mr.. Blaine who is canvasSing for the
exalted position of the presidency of the
United States" He complained that Mr..
Blame misquoted him in reference to his
utterances respecting Irish emigration and
added: lit used to be an admitted truth
that assisting people to emigrate from
country where employment is scarce
and wages are low, to another country
where they can improve their condition,
was doing benefcent act. There was
nothing in my suggestion approaching an
insult to the Irish people. [ do not mind
Mr.. Blaine abusing me if that will improve
his prospects, but 1 do hope in the future
he will quote me correctly" Referring to
that portion of
MIR. MoRLEY's SPEECH
last evening in the house of commons
which contained the statement that Lord
Salisbury advocated twenty years of coercion
In Ireland. his lOrdShip said he must demur
to Mr.. Morley's quotation. He had never
said he favored twenty years of coercion in
ireland. The object of his speech was to
show that the application of the
word coercion to the measures
which his government had recommended
for Ireland was unsuitable and
improper. Coercion meant legislation re-
straining liberty and directed against
political dissatisfaction. He had never
recommended legislation in either direction.
He desired legislation in the direction of
liberty and to defend the innocent among
the population of Ireland against the un-
lawful acts of criminal societies. That had
never until now been called coercion. The
Earl of Kimberly, colonial secretary. re-
piled to Lord Salisbury, and said that he
thought the language used by the marquis

Blaine's correction of the report of his Port

1t is quite in accordance with Mr.. Ria ines
character to hurl insults and then retract
them. Mr.. Blaine is a public man whose s,,p
port is almost discredit. He is now posino
to gain the next nomination of the Republican
party to the presidency. If he succeeds. it is
safe to say that America will repeat the rebu =
it gave him two years ago.

Rule Measure.
Lord Salisbury Replies to Blaine and
John Morley.
The Home Rule Bill.

LONDON, June Mr.. Gladstone. re-
plying to letter from MIR. Thomas Henry
Bolton NiberaD member for North st.
Pancras, writes as follows:
hold it to be indisputable, indeed, ele
mentary, that the voting of the second read
ing of the home rule bill affirms only the prn-
ciple of the establishment of an Irish
legislative body to transact business
concerning purely Irish, as distinct
from imperial affairs. The government con-
slider and hold themselves free to accept any
proposals which may be submitted to them
previous to the autumn session. consistent
with the five main conditions which they con-
slider essential to the solution of the question,
including Irish representatives at West
minister, to take part in the discussion and
settlement of imperial business. The govern
nent are not only at liberty, but they are in
duty bound, to consider any such amend
ments.
This statement, it was thought in the
lobbies OF the house of commons tonight
would cause number of waverers to de-
eide to vote for the bill and possibly secure
its second reading.
JOHN BRIGHT
publishes a letter in which he says he has
not read the News or Truths comments on
the use made of his letter to MI Chamber
lain at the recent dissident meeting and
adds:

of Mr.. Chamberlain in making use of my
letter which he is quite at liberty to read to
his friends

debate in the house of commons on Mon
day. Tonight proceedings were unevent-
full except that Mr.. Peace, Liberal NAL
content, announced his return to allegiance
ia Mr.. Gladstone. reserving, however, his
right of action on the bill which it is pro-
posed to introduce in the autumn. There is a
rumor that four others have fol-
lowed Mr.. Peace'S example. The
ministerialists are more hopeful.
They calculate on majority of
six or eight. Mr.. Game, the whip of the
Chamberlain party. counts upon the defeat
of the bill by a majority of 10. He ridi-
cules the civilizations of Gladstonians over
the return of waverers. Mr.. Chamberlain
has written to Welsh friend that it is alb
surd to assert that proposals which are dis
trusted and opposed by prominent non

USELESS DoDGING.

The Morris Sun says that the decision of
the Republican bosses in this state, not to
hold their convention until in September,
is a confession of weakness and of poor
laws and bad management. So it is. They
are afraid of long campaign, because they
do not want the people to have time to in
vestigate Republican misgovernment in this
state. But the late convention dodge will
not avail anything. The people have their
eyes open and are looking TITO the political
