In justice to the proof reader and
typos of this paper mentioned In the
above article, we wish to say that the
proceedings of the Santa Fe "Citizens'
Committee" were carefully set up and
read by copy" furnished US by the secre.
tary of that committee, and if anything
was suppressed from the report of the
proceedings, it was done by the secre-
tary himself, and not at this office. We
have also. learned Since the publlca-
ton of those proceedings that
the two resolutions referring to
the Santa Fe railroad were passed at the
suggestion of, and dictated by. Girec-
tor of the Santa Fe company, and that
the last resolution referring to the mat
ter OF looking after other railroads in
order to have Rcompeting line built into
this city, was passed with the under
standing that 1t was to be merely nom
nal, and for the express purpose of pacI-
flying the public.

tion OF the intentions OF the Northwest
ern company. First, because such con-
summation would be but right and fair,
and second. because it is to their advant-
age that the competing railroad lines
operating from this city be given equal
facilities for the transaction of business.
Our people having paid for their railroad
privileges, will the more streuuously de.
mand and insist that exact Justice be
meted out in this case. Public senti.
ment is powerful factor and usually
triumphs in the end, though it is some
times compelled to follow it's object
through devious ways and annoying in.
tricacies. 1t is the wish of every resi-.
dent of Yankton that this difficulty be
compromised upon basis of equal priv
ileges to both companies. This must
be the final result and the shortest and
easiest way to it Is the best.

Wabash, Ind, Jan. 18-Forty Indian
children, collected by the government
from several western territories, who
have been attending Whites Normal
Labor Institute, near this city, since
1888, will leave on March / for Indian
territory, where the boys, twenty in num-
Der, will be given tracts of land of eighty
acres each, and the girls will be Installed
as teachers IN Indian schools. These
children were brought east under in
struction OF the interior department,
which provided transportation and bore
the cost of maiDtainance during the
| term of tuition. The members of the class
ar. chiefly Sioux, and their improvement
meptelly and physically has exceeded
the expectation OF the authorities inter-
ested in the experiment. Originally it
was intended that the government
lshould provide for the snstenanct: of the
children for five years, but it is found
that they can easily complete the course

ent class speak excellent English. are

From the Dakota department of the
Congressional Record we gather the in
formation that the senate committee on
territories, in it's favorable report of the
Harrison bill for the admission of the
south half of Dakota, engrafted an
amendment in the bill which gives the
state one member of the house of repre-
sentatives, instead of two, as provided
by the people of Dakota under the ordi-
nance of the constitution. Mr.. Harri.
son, in his speech, refers to this change.
He says that while the proposed state is
entitled by population to two
representatives, "the committee has de-
'cided not to support this apparently
Just demand, but to ask the people OF
Dakota to be content for the present
with o single representative" Dakota
will readily comply with Senator Harri-
sons suggestion and with the recon-
mendation of the committee. The sen
sation of being represented at all will be
SO novel a one that We can enjoy it while
submitting to the postponement of 6
full recognition of our rights. The
next census, four years hence, will give
us four or five congressman and we car
manage to exist as state until tha
time with only one.

Kanouse, The former may be entitled
to the rank of seniority becaus,
he was first nominated in the
convention and because he re
ceiyed greater number of votes at th
election than his colleague. But thi
is matter to be settled in the futur
and in the absence of law or precedent
may be necessary for the people, or thei

Wild Horses and Cattle near Fort
p5lfNw,

Wild Horses and Cattle near Fort
Pillow.
The tradition which has 30 long ex-
listed among the denizens of Mississippi
river bottoms of the existence of fine
breed OF wild horses and cattle in the
neighborhood OF Fort Pillow, seventy
five miles above Memphis, has in q
measure been confirmed by a gentleman
who passed through here to-day en-
route to the northern part of the state,
to procure funds and such implements
as may be necessary in efecting thor
ough exploration of the locality.
Fort Pillow, it will be remembered,
was the ground upon which the newly
recruited colored troops of the United
States were almost exterminated twenty
years ago by Forests command, that
battle to this day bearing the uncanny
title of "tLe Forrest massacre" The
command Of the famous rebel general
was splendidly mounted upon blooded
stock, thoroughbreds, gathered from
throughout the south, and at the time
had a liberal supply OF fine cattle in
charge of the commissary. During the
bloody carnage which ensued many of
these 1ne ANIMALS escaped into the
swamps and wilds which are located
dark and forebodding in the neighbor
hood.
Old residents of the locality have for
years contended that large droves oi
horses and cattle, wild and untamed
roam through the strip of country
which extends miles back and up and
down the river. thought to be fiat and
well calculated for grazing, but which il

| they are lineal descendants OF the ami.
mails which Forest lost.
The dangers Of exploring these treach
erous lands has thus far deferred or
elaborate search, but it is now settled
fact that all obstacles will be overcome
and the mystery connected with tht
neighing steeds and flying bovines vii
soon be solved A large body of men
accustomed to hardships and danger
have effected an organization for tn
purpose Of search, and there is n,
doubt that a good fat "fnd' will aware

The people of Yankton believe in fair
play, and in pursuance of this belief
they do not view with complacency the
efforts of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railroad company to prevent the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad COM
pany from attaining the enjoyment of
itp rights as common carrier within the
city of Yankton. We are certain that
the people of Yankton are not unduly
preindiced IN this matter. There is
within them the usual supply of self IN
terest, but beyond an indulgence in
feelings and beliefs which pertain to
their own good they entertain no
violent sentiment against either one
of the railroad corporations doing busi-
ness here. They have invested fifty
thousand dollars OF their means in the
the Northwestern railroad and have also
given their proportion of over three
hundred thousand dollars invested by
| the county in the Milwaukee railroad.
Having purchased the railroad facilities
which Yankton enjoys it's people possess
sufficient proprietary interest therein TO
entltle them to the fullest privileges
which may come from the location of
two competing lines into the city. Un.
der these circumstances it is not un-
reasonable in them to insist upon fair
play in the present emergency.
| The coming week promises to pro.
) duce interesting developments. Under
the provisions of the territorial statutes
a committee appointed by the court will
proceed ID condemn sufficient property
belonging to the Milwaukee company
to enable the Northwestern company tc
construct side tracks necessary to the
, transaction of business in Yankton. Th.
presumption now is that the milwaukee,
will contest the action of this condem
nation committee in the courts and vii
use every possible means to prevent th,
Northwestern from carrying out it
business intentions, The situatio,
is not pleasant cne. Bad blood ha
d already manifested itself and out of tn
bitterness of the coming struggle IN
: fortunateresults are liable to come.

iparties on one side, desire ccnsumms
