Shows and Decentralization.

The practice which has Of late
years become so common, that Of
leaving the reservation and trav-
eling with shows, deserves the at
teItion Of the authorities. It is
true that there is quasi official
sanction in this matter, md by
which we mean that the Indian
Office has never taken steps to pro-
hibit this custom, but for all that
it is time that some notice should
be taken of this demoralizing
practice.
We write this article feeling
TINT we may meet the censure Of
those Of our people who in the
past have availed themselves Of
the opportunities presented for
earning nh easy livlihood. There
are many reasons why the practice
should be discountenancedo or for.

circus or show nttache, be they

On the morniiasg of The 18Th.
Felix Blue, who was 4 witness in
the case Of the q. S IS Bernard
Stitz, and who was returning from
st. Paul on his way home, was
brutally assaulted BY Eve men,
led by Henry Lambert, stepson
of stitz, who boarded the train as
it slowed up at Riee's atation, neur
Detroit. Without moments
warning the Ave men pounced up
on their victim and dragged him
out of his seat and on to the floor
cf the ear and commenced TO kick
and beat him in the most brutal
manner. And had it not been for
the timely enterence Of the con-
ductor it is probable that they
would have killed the victim. As
it was he arrived here more dead
than alive.
The above circumstances were
related to US by a gentleman who
accompanied Blue from Detroit to
White Earth.

LIZZIE SEAL, the unfortunate girl

Same Old Way

This is the caption Of a special
telegram to the Pioneer Press, and
refers to the attitude Of the De-
partment toward agent Gregory Of
the La Point agency.
The correspondents infers that
it is high time that the promised
successor should be immediate.
" appointed and a different order
Of things instituted.
We must admit with the Pioneer
Press that damaging facts arose
from the Chandler investigation
sufficient, in our opinion, to war
rant the
Dissinissal OF the Agent
and a renovation Of La Point apen-
cy affairs.
Of Messrs Atkins and Upshaw
nothing else could have been ex-
pected, for it was in line with
their aggressive policy Of disre-
garding the wishes Of the Indians
and the honest demands Of the
country. Mr.. oberly being newly
in office the fact may stand as
some excuse for the unchanged
condition Of affairs.
The Hon. Commissioner has, as
yet, made no startling movements
regarding the affairs Of his prede.
cessor, such as he may well do,
but we are willing to believe that
a desire to avoid hastiness lies at
the bottom Of this seeming dilato-
riness. He will see however that
the best interest of the Indian and
the country will be subseryed by
urging upon the Hon. Sec'y and
the President immediate accept
ance Of agent Gregory's resigna-
tion aud the appointment Of his
successor. The Chandler commit
tee will surely continue the inves-
tigation and dismissal must follow
under the new administration.
The pitiful period Of a few months
in Office ought not to warrant the
Continuance OF wrong.
Let the Commission oner act and thus
count among his last official acts
q righteous action.

y IN the government. This seems
TO be based upon the old theory Of

We will make no attempt here
to controvert this theory. But
admitting this to be 50, we believe
that even under this theory, there
are titles and titles.

TT is a certain tract Of land RE-
SERVED TO INDIANS FOR THEIR

Under the old theory the fee is in
the government, and the right Of
the Indian is simply that of occu.
pancy. But what is the case where
the government extinguishes en-
tirely the right Of the Indian to
certain tracts making no reserva-
tlon whatsoever and assigns to
them as homes
A Trnct geographically Remote ]
Why, it changes the character Of
the holding entirely, the new home
Of the Indian is not properly a res
ervation. The new tract Of land
becomes the property Of the Indi-
an under q grant AS ABSOLUTE AS
THOUGH CONVEYED TO HIM BY WAR

cannot lay claim to the fee, for
the possEssoRY RIGHT OF THE IN.
DIAN HAS BECOME ABSOLUTE /! It is
his as truly as is that Of the ordi-
nary settler who has settled upon
a tract and perfected his title !!
And this rule we hold applies to
what is loosely called the White
Earth reservation.
We maintain that it is not q
reservation proper, and conse-
quently that all departmental rul-
ings and court decisions as to res
ervations have no bearing here
whatever. Consequently the ap-
plication by Atty Gent Garland
Of the law governing the cutting
of timber upon reservations is en-
roneous and should have no
weight.
The government can exercise
authority here only under the
Relation Of Guardian and ward
and should restrict timber cutting
only as A NATTER OF PRUDENCE.
