The opinion is that in due time the
bill providing for the opening of the
Sioux reservation will receive the
requisite number of signatures, not
~withstanding the hostility to the meas
ure thus far manifested. 1t is found
that there is much less opposition at
the lower agencies than at Standing
Rock, and it is less unreasoning. AS a
matter of fact a great deal OF the oppo-
sition shown is not serious. To n con-
siderable extent it is simply in con-
formity with the Indian habit of fault
finding and obstruction, which has it's
motive in n desire to be bought. The In
dian nature is not so different from that
of the white man that it will not take
advantage of an unusual opportunity,
such as the Sioux believe is presented
to them in the pending negotiations.
Still there has been and is yet a meas
ure of genuine opposition, and some
time and a good deal Of further effort
will be required to overcome it. The
squaw men, whose interest it is hat the
Indians should remain as they are, have
pSSh ltlN oo ~ ohu oiOJ hoNS poSh
actively seconded by certain se~lf-sufi-
cient philanthropists, who, it is justly
said, have been the curse Of
the Indians for more than a
generation. This combinations &C
cording to trustworthy reports, has
been most aggressively busy in poison
ing the minds OF the Indians against
the proposed arrangement, and with
what degree Of success the situation al
this time amply attests. But there are
indications that these marplots are now
losing ground, and once the indians
begin to manifest distrust Of them in
considerable numbers it will not be diff
ficult to bring over the whole body.
The statement is that the more intelli'
gent Indians are doing their best for
the treaty, and 1t is believed to be a
practical certainty that when the tribes
have discussed it to their sat
isfaction, and this they have
an unquestionable right to do, and
when they find they have received al
| the concessions they can hope for, they
will sign the treaty almost unanimously

which it reiterates witout the correction of a
single mistake or the improvement of a
single weakness. Ii he has noted the perva-
sive and emphatic popular uprising against
his plan of tariff reform, he has clearl y
failed to derive instruction from it, or to be
warned by it to the advantage Of his party
and himself. He is content still to recon-
mend u free trade policy as the best means
of reducing the surplus revenue and to urge
upon the country the alleged duty of surren-
dering to foreign nations those benefits
which have been secured by protection, and
which can be preserved only by maintaining
the protective theory.

Assessing OmcehoIdcrs.

Mr.. George William Curtis is consist
ent in condemning the action OF the
democratic state committees OF Ohio,
Massachusetts, and other states in send
ing out circulars TO federal oficeholders
calling for assessments, but what iusti-
fication eau he offer for supporting an
administration that allows this to be
done?
1t is true these circulars do not de-
mand contributions. They ara simply
suggestive. But who does not under
stand that they are practically as coercive
as IL their language was mandatory
They bear upon their faces the argument
that, being stlpendiaries OF the
administration, those who get them are
expected to support the administration
financially as we'll as otherwise. If the
administration is sincere in its civil SER
vice reform professions its manifest
duty is to publicly and distinctly dis
~countenance this method of bleeding
the federal oficeholders for campaign
purposes.
But the administration will DO moth
ing of the kind. The sentiment that
controls it was fully expressed in Dan
Lamont's explanation of Cleveland's
contribution, and the example thus
set by the president himself
every ~stipendiary of the adj
ministratlon is expected to emu
late. The average politician
will perhaps find no fault with this, but
it is not easy to see how the virtuous
mugwump reformer a conscientiou5ly
vote for u man and u party that thus
violates a cardinal principle of civil
service reform.

Mr.. LANNON'S GALL.
How a United States Marshal Got n
Railroad Pass for Charles Crocker.

The death OF Charles Crocker of the
Central Pacific railroad calls to mind
an incident that happened when Charles
|. Lammon was United States marshal
for Nevada. about the year 1874, says
the Virginia Enterprise. LammOn, in
his official capacity, had served four or
five subpuenas on rs many persons in a
suit of the Central Pacific versus Mars
den, ct al. The suit was for possession
of water rights. The persons served
lived on the line of the Central Pacific,
between Verdi and Humboldt station,
and a car was furnished the aforesaid
marshal while making the services,
taxing but a portion of two days to
transac the business. Lannon'S bill
went into the company for 1918. which
after quite a wrangle was paid. The
Joke of this article came in when Lam
mon soon after presented himself in the
private Office OF MIR. Crocker, asking
that his wife be added TO his
yearly pass, in compensation OF his
faithful services to the company and his
endeavors in its behalf. After he had
taken his seat and stated his case, Mr..
Crocker looked him square in the face
and said: ''Lammon. are you tho mar
shall who has just been paid $50 for two
days' work-quadruple the amount you
had a right to charge under the law

COUNT MITKIEwICz, who is thor
oughly informed as to China, is reported
to scout the idea that China has re-
jected the new treaty with America.
In his opinion China favors the treaty
restricting the emigration of Chinese
to the United States because China does
not favor emigration. For hat reason
China would accept the treaty, since
it would affect English interests at
Hong Kong and Canton and not it's own.
The attitude of congress on the Chinese
question has been taken advantage of
by the English to further their own
ends. 1t is evidently an English trick
to spread abroad the rumor hat China
rejected the treaty with the view that
hostile legislation would shake the
friendly relations between China and
the United States. This would allow
the British to take away the Chinese
trade from this country, and to kill the
project of building American railroads
in that empire. Should it turn out to
be true that China has not rejected the
treaty, the suspicious of British inter-
ference in our relations with China
would be strongly confirmed.

ALTHOUGH there is disappointment
over the wheat crop on which great
hopes were built earlier in the season,
there need be no such apprehension re-
garding the yield of corn. During the
past two weeks the corn crop of the
country has passed out of the danger of
being nipped by frost. 1t may be safely
asserted that fully two thirds of the
yield is now out of peril. The rest of
the crop is rapidly passing into that
stage where frost or insects can
affect but little the drying husks.
The returns from Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa and Illinois are highly encourag-
ing. The average condition OF corn, as
reported by the national depart ment of
agriculture, for September 1, through
out the country, is 94,2, and in seven Of
the great corn producing states the
average condition is 95 as compared with
Ga at the corresponding time last year.
Such another autumn as the present
season has not been experienced for
years. 1t can be aptly described as
''corn-weather," being cool, with
bright, warm days. And the farmers
may we'll rejoice at the plenteous
bounty which he is promised.

CONVICTION, just across the river from
Sioux City, is fast securing a hard repu-
talon. Low dive keepers who have
been outlawed in Iowa have swarmed
into the little Nebraska town, and with
their advent have come reports of rob-
berry, midnight brawls and general law
l~essness. The latest is a murder sup
possibly traceable to one of these dens Of
vice. 1t is high time that the authori-
ties called a halt, and it is to be hoped
that this last development will lead to
an investigation which will drive these
criminals out of Dakota county.

THERE'S said to be an organized gang
OF thieves systematically robbing the
mails between New York and the west.
The attention OF the postof1ice depart
ment has long been directed to this
abuse but it is apparently powerless to
run it down. There is evidently a screw
loose in the p~ostofice department under
Mr.. Cieveland's administration, and
Don Dickinson as postmaster general is
anything but a brilliant success.
