THE GRAND WEST
Repaying its Admirers in Starvation and
Cold.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. II

MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. II.
NJ. J. Herpman of this city, who was COM
missioned TO investigate the condition of the
farmers in Ramsey, Dakota, reported to be
starving to death, returned last night. He
says there are seventy families who are ab-
solutely destitute of food and fuel, and
something must be done Immediately. The
real condition of the people is beyond de-
scripti0n. Men, women and children are in
rags and they have not cent of money.
Their crops were totally destroyed and
their land, stock, and farm implements are
mortgaged. Absolute distress prevailed ev-
erywhere.
minister was living in one room with his
wife and two small children. One of the
latter was wrapped up in crib in order to
keep it warm, and the other was shivering
with cold and emaciated with hunger. There
was no fuel with the exception of little dry
manure, which is all that any of the families
have to burn, and the only thing they had to
eat was dry crust of bread.
Mr.. Horpman says the frost which came
in August, destroyed all of the, wheat that
there was, as well as all vegetables.

Parties.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is.


Secretary Villas today met again the Sionx
Indian chiefs at the Interior Department.
He laid before them the conclusions reached
by the President and himself upon the prep
osition of the Indians as expressed in the
first conference upon the bill to relinquish
a portion of their reservation. BY the new
terms tits agreed that for lands belonging to
the Indians, entered for homestead settle
ments within three years from date when
this act shall take effect, one dollar per
acre shall be paid for all lands thus entered,
and two years thereafter, seventy-fye cents
per acre and for all such lands entered after
years, fifty cents is stipulated. Congress
may provide for any disposition of the
lands which shall be so granted
provided not less than soc per acre is placed
TO the credit of the Indians. Also granted
instean of 81 900, 900 mentioned in the act,
81, 100000 be appropriated, from which
six months after the bill becomes law, $50
shall be paid each Indian. This payment
doesn't affect the right of the Indian to the
allotment of $40 provided for in the bill.
The funds provided for in the act shall be
divided by the Secretary of the Interior into
six separate funds corresponding with the
reservations TO be established the division |
te be regulated according TO the number OF
Indians receiving rations at said reservation. |
The Santee Sioux Indians are excluded from |
the provisions of the act. An adult Indian |
upon making an allotment of land as provid- |
ed, shall have span of American mares with |
double harness instead of yoke of oxen, if |
he choose, besides one mich COW, agricul- |
tural implements, tools, seeds, and the mon
ey provided for in the act
The secretary explained these conditions
at length and said he wanted the Indians to |
make up their minds before they left the |
city whether they would accept the terms |
Or not. The ratification of all adult Indians |
has to be obtained in any event. The In |
lans said they would let the secretary know |
when they had reached a decision. 1t is ex-
pected that they will call upon the secretary |
In case the Indians accept the |
new terms they must be enacted a law by |
Congress. With the exception of receiving |
81. 25 per acre and the payment of the entire |
amount in lump the Indians by these mod
fcations obtained what they asked for.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

With a cup of fresh coffee | drink to the
health of the democratic party.-R. G. Mills.
Who made coffee free? What party took
the duty # coffee2 The republican party.
If the democratic party had their way duty
would again be placed on tea and coffee, the
sugar duty would be increased and the duty
on every article produced in this country
that is to say every duty that protects any
American producer or worker-would be cut
down below the revenue point, or swept
away altogether. This is the sort of friend
ship for American industry which the demo
cratic party entertalns.
Chairman Brice of the democratic nation
al committee, saye he is getting complaints
from all over the country that President
Cleveland is not doing anything TO encour-
age the boys" Well, tits no wonder. He
went fishing on Decoration Day, and that
didn't please 'em. Then he ordered the reb-
ell battle flags to be returned and the boys
sent up such howl that he was compelled
to rescind his order. We refer to the SOL
der boys. 1t may be that Chairman Brice
refers to some other kind of s.boys"

The Canvass in New York.

A New York despatch to the Albany Jour
nal says: The sensation of yesterday was
the semi-editorial expression of the New
York Herald, that the State was lost to Mr..
Cleveland. 1t dwet on the ''defections of
life long democrats among the farmers"
everywhere, upon the active democratic or
ganization to knife" Cleveland in Roches-
ter, upon the smash up" of the democrats
in Steuben county and the great "mistake"
of Cleveland in raising the tariff issue. Ii
was remarkable despatch to appear on the
editorial page of a Cleveland paper, and
caused CONSERVATION in the ranks of the
democracy. Ii is no secret that Mr.. Bennett.
who has recently returned home, has sent
out private and trusted agent to make
canvass of this State. The despatch that
he received and printed is the result of this
agents careful observation. 1t confirms the
result of the canvass of the State made by
representatives of both the democratic and
republican State committees. Ii confirms
the impression that is now widespread and
deepening every day, that there is absolutely
no doubt that the electoral vote of this State
will be cast for Harrison and Morton.
