The idea, says the Minneapolis Even.
ing Journal, of the allotment of lands in
seyeralty. which, though not original
with Gen. Sheridan, is SO fully approved
by him that he repeats his recommends
ton of year ago in his last annual re-
port is the short cut to an honest and
wise solution OF the Indian question:
It's advantage in the ultimate breaking
up of the tribal and emphasizing the
family relation as better condition UNI
der which to carry on the work of edu-
eating and ciyillzing the Indians and ma
king them self-sustaining, have been re-
repeatedly urged. This plan suggested
by Gen. Sheridan seems also to contain
the only method by which the Indian
can have the assurance that he will not
he periodically robbed OF that which is
now accorded him Gen. Sheridan says
there are 0000 square miles included
in the Indian reservations in the United
States, on which there are 100000 Indi-
ans. He proposes that each family, cour-
ting FIVE to the family, be given a hall
section and that the remainder-about
10000 square miles-be sold for the ben
eft of the Indians. This would produce
| annually more than enough to pay their
annuities, and for their subsistence and
civilization, leaving the principal to be
returned to them as the government
might determine. Aside from lifting
from the public treasury the burden
OF caring for these wards of the nation
it would insure to the Indians the full
benefit of all the lands now belonging
to them without retarding their settle
ment. As it is now in the case Of the
Sioux Reservation, for example, the In
dams are ir danger OF loosing large
tract of land through an act of Congress
opening it for settlement without getting
any compensation for it.

1t is believed that the French are now
preparing to give Germany another live
ly whirl. Although the French Govern
ment breaches peace, their earnest pre-
partitions for war is creating considera
BILE uneasiness all along the line. Tits
the opinion of the best posted diplomats
that once the Peace of Europe is broken,
that for the next three years red handed
war will rule the hour, and that during
tile melee, Russia will be almost certain
to obtain footholj in Europe; and that
Turkey will be literally wiped out Of
the map of the world Evidently, the
pres nt unsettled condition of European
affairs, points unerringly to row that is
bound to involve all the nations of the
old world, and, sooner or later, the crash
of resounding arms will produce the
most gigantic war the world ever saw
America win. IN that eAent, become the

GERS the wealthiest in the world.

Master Workman Powderly, of the la.

it is fair to presume that the executive
committee found, on investigation that
the strike was not justified, which was
certainly the case. That this opinion
largely prevailed even among the work,
men themselves. was evident by the
half-hearted way in which the affair was
