A NEW MARKET.

AS we view the situation the
opening of the Sioux reservation
will be considerably to the ad-
vantage of Hand and adjoining
counties. Something near 10,-
100000 acres of land will soon
be opened to settlement-that is,
as soon as the bill passes the
senate, receives the signature OF
the President and the signatures
of four-ffths of the Indian male
adults. 1t appears there Is a
good deal to be accomplished yet
before the land Is opened to set
Element, but the guardian angels
at Washington claim the only
obstacle IN the way of the sue
cess Of the bill was in the house.
The lands will be settled only
under the homestead act, but it
will be settled rapidly just the
same. As We are practically on
the borders of this reservation it
will be our opportunity to fur
nlsh tho settlers with feed and
produce of all the kinds neces-
sary for them, aud this extra de-
mand will necessarily create bet
ter prices. Again there should
be no serious trouble in con-
vincing many OF those who will
seek new homes in that direc-
tion, that it will be greatly to
their advantage to drop off in
this section of the (country and
obtain q good farm at a figure
that will beat homesteading a
quarter section in a new and
untrled country. Hers county
and township organizations are
in full force, and no bonded
county Indebtedness, county
warrants being almost at par.
The sooner the reservation Is
settled the sooner will real es-
tate begin to look up. The por-
tion left for the Indians consists
mainly of bad lands, the cream
of the great Sioux being includ-
ed in the present bill. When
one takes pains TO look the mat
ter up, he finds the agricultural
domain of Uncle Sam has prac-
tically dwindled down to a min
imum point, and soon it will be
known to the surprise of the in
habitants of the United States
that there IS no more free land,

The Brotherhood Of Engineers
that are now having so much to
do with the business affairs of
the west in the way of transpor-
tatlon is altogether a different
class from the ordinary striker.
AS rule they are a level headed
conservative class, numbering
1880. They have a contin-
gent fund of 100000 aud a
building fund of s560,0o0 which
they can use in defraylng their
expenses Of the strike. Besides
1t is estimated they will each put
up 800, if called upon, thus
giving them $3.50, 900 to operate
with. 1t will thus be seen they
are a much more formidable
class to contend with than the
ordinary striker who scarcely
ever has LAID up over $40 ahead.

Liability to Pulmonary Consumption.

gate more civilized males than females
die Of pulmonary consumption; that the
gcostal-resriration of the civilized female is
developed through the constructing lnfiu
ence Of dress around the abdomen; that
the lungs possess un excessive breathing
surface, which, by sedentary occupations,
etc, can be, and Is frequently, reduced In
great degree; that the baneful results Of
such reduction, consisting of hyper@mia,
etc, fall with the greatest force on the
apex Of the lung; that ah those who suf
fer from consumption also show decided
tendency to immobility Of the upper part
OF the chest--are We not, therefore, justi-
fled in believing that defective cOstal
respiration and the beginning Of pulmon-

obvious that her manner of dress is di-

She has, by force of necessity, been led to

eultivates u greater development of the

herself to greater degree against this

Vote FOR Protection
Nov. 9Th, and AGAINST
Free Trade.

From the London Sunday Times, July Is, 1885.
The electioneering campaign in America
ought to be most interesting to the English
people for historical, political, and phiIosoph-
ical reasons. The main question at
issue is English Free Trade against the Cont
mental system of Protection. The Republic is
on trial. Good, conservative government, un
der Cleveland, is opposed by the rule and ruin
party of Blaine, whose friends nominated Har-
rison. Thus the American people,
are directly involved in the contest through
their pockets, which will be affected by the
tariff, and their future which would be seri-
ousIy influenced by the restoration to power
of such a fire-brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympathies and anti Canadian policy The
American election is infinitely more important
to Englishmen than their own internal politics
just at this juncture. and they should observe
every phase Of the campaign closely and un-
derstandingIy. It is from this point of view
that the copious dispatches to the Sunday
Times are cabIed. The result of the Amer.
can election will hel p to decide many import
ant issues in Great Britain

THE spiritualists of New York are in
a sad state of mind concerning Mrs.
FOx-Kane's big toe. 1t will be remem-
bered that forty years ago this
lady was little girl, and one of the sis
ters who started at Rochester the spirit
rapping business. She has recently been
explaining the mystery to a New York
audience. She has repented the sins of
her youth, and now comes before the
public making confession that when an
infant she deceived her mother by pull
ing apples across the floor with strings
and exhibiting a remarkable ingenuity
in mischief. And she not only affirms
that the spirit-rapping business was a
fraud so far as the spirit part of it was
concerned, but shows the particular
muscles and joints-that is, declares
them to be the particular muscles and
joints, which she cultivated in the
days of her youth, and which made
the mysterious manifestations; and while
she is little old and tough, her joints
have not lost their cunning, and she gave
the old-fashioned raps in the hall where
she lectured. The lady is said to be re-
pentant to a pathetic degree, and the
general public regard her explanation of
the original fraud as demonstration. To
the true Spiritualist, however, this is but
a mere trial of faith. He affirms that
whatever may be the declarations or
even the opinions of the Fox sisters, the
spirit presence was actually declared in
those rappings. And it is the religious
belief of the Spiritualist that the Origi-
nal rappings were spiritual, and that the
present confessions are the fraud.
