Monkey,ng With the Land Lave

Monkey1ng With the Land Laws.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The house
committee on public lands considered
the bill previously. agreed on to repeal
the timber culture, presumption and
desert land laws. The motion carried
to report favorably the bill to repeal
the pre-emption law. 1t was then
moved to report favorably the bill to
repeal the timber culture law. Mr.,
Strait, as a substitute, moved that the
law be amended 80 as to declare the
principle that once a timber culture
claim always q timber culture claim,
The object Of this Mr.. Strait said was
to prevent fraud now arising from TAX
ing up and subsequent relinquishment
of claims for a consideration to be
entered as pre-emptien or homestead
claims. Tho committee decided to re
fer the matter to the commissioner o
the land Office before reaching a hna
conclusion. .. t

some of the malcontents in the Demo.
cratic party have had for complaint con-
corning the matter,an smanner Of the
comments which have appeared from
this quarter, in past. There will be no
more descriptions of the eccentricities of
the political poodles. Cause why; they
have all gone home. The leaders of the
Democratic party are now making prog.
ress without hindrance, and they are
doing as good work for the territory as
the Republicans would do if 1t were
their innings. Mr.. Day and Mr.. Clifford
and the senators are harmoniously
working for the good Of tho territory,
not forgetting, however, that they are
partisans and are looking out for their
own parties at the same time.
1t ought to be known that the polit-
ical stock Of James g. Blaine is raising.
HIS erstwhile opponents in his own
party have recently been experiencing a
change ofheart. Indications now point
to his denomination at the hands of a
united Republican party. Such being
the case, look out for the hottest cam
paign in 'B8 that you ever sow or heard
of.
Mr.. Cleveland is the master of his
party, and will continue to DO. Leaders
Of the Democratic party speak we'll of
him, and believe in him; though they
at the same time berate some of his
methods as too non.partisan. The gist
OF all the ~fcrecasting by the leaders of
both parties is, that the contest will be
between Blaine and Cleveland. Only,
next time. " will. be aunited Republican
party again1 q united Democracy. That
will make hot work.
On and after March Is, please ad.
dress all papers and letters to the Da.
kota News Bureau, 40 Sixth street, N.
w., Washington, D. c. 1t is worth not
ing that the promises of three months
ago are being fulfilled. This enterprise
is thriving, and has opened offices at
the above number, in the heart of the
city, and is fitting them up in elegant
and attractive style. Our sanctum will
be superior to many and equal to the
best afforded by metropolitan dailies.
Papers not yet connected with the
bureau would do we'll to mail their
publications regularly to us, as they
will be we'll cared for, and placed on file
for the inspection. of visiting Dakotans.

IAE ALlEoEp RESERVATION.

The northwestern corner of the reser

thence west along the Cheyenne river,

The icounties embraced are Cavilier,
Ramsey, Benson, Towner, Rolette, Bot
%tineau, DeSmet. McHenry, Renville,
Stevens. part Of Walsh and Nelson. also
q part OF the Fort Berthold reservation.
There are in these several counties by
actual count, about 500 townships, each
containing $4,000 acres, making a total
of about 100000 This land was
thrown open to..settlement, in 1882 by
executive order, and is o inhabited
by fully $4,000 white people. The Cut
Head Sioux reservation, comprising
about eight townships, is within the
limits of this alleged Chippewa reserva-
ton, being located on the south shore
of Devils lake, and near this city.
There is no question as to the title Of
the Sioux to their reservation of eigh,
o wnships; neither isthere any question
to the title of the Chippewas to the 500
townships, for in fact the Chippewas
never had any title. The Chippewas
who claim the 500 townships, now in
habited by $4,000 whites, number les.
than 300 full bloods. They are q lazy
sh,ftless people living upon government,
rations and Turtle mountain game
When these 500 townships were
thrown open to settlement the Chip
pswas were allotted SO townships at and
including the east end of Turtle noun
tain. Later on tho allotment was re
duced to two townships, which the In
dams and their half:breed friends
the latter numbering over 600-now oc
eupy, or are supposed to occupy.
The Chippewas on these two town
ships really belong to the::White Eartl
reservation in Minnesota. A reputable
gentleman who has been in this countr!
since 1866 informs tho INrER.OcEA,
that the Chippewas never had the shad
ow Of a title to the 500 townships the!
now claim; that they have been per
mitted to roam over this vast regior
and hunt buffalo; that when the lane
was opened to settlement there were q
or 30 families of them in the region o
the Turtle mountain. They forcsav
that they must son give up their hunt
ing grounds, and to W it they set ur
the false claim which their missionaries
and friends have induced Sparks to rec
ognize, but which Sparks will certainly
find has no founc alton in fact.

Of land and will in a few years become a
source Of positive income. They will
grow while you sleep. They will addto
your wealth while you rest! No invest.
ment will pay you better, both in a ma.

which is the outgrowth of pleasant sur.

teachers in the public schools and those
in charge Of our territorial institutions
Of learning, as also the officers of our
benevolent institutions to the importance
Of devoting this day to ornamenting the
grounds where our children congregate
or the unfortunate of the territory are
confined.
Let every public place be made to
blossom like the rose, adorned by ma
lures purest and loveliest ornaments,
which shall grow and flourish like the

A Crtsls Imminent at Chicago,

CHICAGO, March 24.-Thc situation in
local railroad circles is becoming more
and moro strained each hour. Said q
railroad official this morning: awhile
do not look for q strike on all the roads
Just at present. the outlook on tho Wa
bash is not at all reassuring." This SEN
timent is verified by the Daily News re-
porters. ENGINEERS, fremen and switch
men, to whom they spoke guardedly on
the subject, admitted that if they re
ceived orders at any moment from the
Knights of Labor to 90 out they would
not be surprised.
