has been serious decline in the spring
wheat region of the northwest Chinch
bugs were again serious evil in portions
of Wisconsin and Minnesota, while un-
seasonable rains after harvest materially
lowered the condition in those states and
in portions Of Iowa. Frost between the
10th and 18th of the month did some in

Sitting Bulbs Rage.

The published report that Sitting Bull
signed the treaty for the opening OF the
reservation has reached the old medicine
man and he has been in rage. He says
that the report was sent out by some friend
OF the commission to kill his influence
with his Indians, but that in this attempt
they will fail. White Bull, who signed the
paper and admits it, has been taken to task
several times by Sitting Bull, and the
quarrels that have ensued are said to be
lively and unique. Sitting Bull says that
he will force his accusers to deny that he
signed the papers, and he will demand the
denial in open council so that he will be
exOnerated before the Indians.
Gall and John Grass are still opposed to
the opening Of the reservation, but if re-
ports from the agency are reliable, the
young Indians are very friendly toward
the proposition. The commissioners will
soon return to Standing Rock to argue ana
confer with the reds. and it is hoped that
during the coming visit they will he more

The Democratic Rally.

The democrats of Bismarck were in their
glory yesterday. Their candidate for con-
gress, the Hon. J. w. Harden, was billed
for a speech, and the tariff reformers
turned out to give him reception. Bis
marck never does things in faint-hearted
manner, and as many of her good citizens
are democrats, they threw the same en-
thusiasm into their reception of MI. Harden
that characterizes all that they undertake.
At 7:30 o'clock tine Bismarck band ap-
peared on Main street with torches and
instruments and enthused the crowds
along the street with inspiring music.
At the corner of Main and Third streets
the band favored the citizens with several
lively airs while the small democratic boys
filled the air with exploding fireworks
which had been furnished by the demo-
cratic club. AS a result Of this good cam
paign work and desire to see Mr.. Har-
eneum. The first address of the evening
was by MI. John Hollembaek. Mr.. Ho1-
lembaek acquitted himself very creditably,
as he always does, and at the conclusion
of his remarks Mr.. Harden was introduced.
No matter what the politics Of member
of the audience may have been he mnst
be free to admit that Mr.. Harden was
gentlemanly and entertaining speaker and
reflects credit upon his party. He refrains
from filth and mud-slinging and handles
his subject with ability.
The democrats of Bismarck have done
we'll in their reception OF Mr.. Harden and
the TRIBUNE is pleased to see that the
campaign is being conducted on a plane
above personalities and abuse.

NAVAL VETERANS ASSOCIATION.
The association of naval veterans which
was organized in January, 1857, held its
regular meeting in the senate chamber to-
night, T. L. johnson of Chicago presiding
and William Simons of Philadelphia acting
as secretary. A series of resolutions were
adopted expressing the sentiment of the
association. In these they ask for in
creased pensions for veterans of the navy;
advocate the placing Of q distinctly naval
monument in Washington; request that
the Grand Army ritual be SO amended as
to recognize the navy and ask that Joseph
Hadfeld of New York, who is at the head
of their association, be made junior vice
commander of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. The various states and territories,
almost without exception, are already we'll
represented and new delegates are coming

The Prairie FIRE Danger.

That there is danger of devastation
throughout Dakota from prairie tires this
year is potent to all. The grass is higher
than it has been for years and when it be-
comes dry will furnish an abundance of
food for destructive flames. A report
reached Bismarck that prairie fire was
raging fifty miles north, but it has not been
confirmed. The rumor that family had
fallen victims to the flames on Friday night
is also without confirmation and it is hoped
that it is.untrue. But it is fact that there
will soon be every opportunity for disas-
trous fires and that too much caution
cannot be used.
Last evening as j. F. Wallace was COM
ing from the penitentiary he discovered
fire in the grass short distance east Of the
city, but fortunately the flames were in an
incipient state and he succeeded in extin-
gushing them. The fire was started by a
spark from passing locomotive.
Wide fire breaks should be made about
every farm house in the territory and
every safeguard placed about all property
that fires can injure.

A Cheering Outlook.

To the people Of the east who are weary
and hungry, the Missouri slope sends
greeting. The people of Burleigh, EN-

grain enough to supply them with food
and vegetables enough to fill their cellars

more prosperous and never has nature

Judge wright,s Sensible Remarks.

Judge Wright's Senslble Remarks.
Ifany one has doubted that Judge Wright
of Tennessee should be the chairman and
controlling power Of the commission now
comforting with the Sioux Indians for the
opening of the reservation, he should read
the following extract from a speech deliv-
cred to the Indians at Crow Creek by the
judge:
"Suppose your fathers and grandfathers
had done this in their days you would not
then have been left an inheritance of bare
earth and Sullen skies, but farms, houses.
horses and cattle would have been yours.
Far be it from me TO detract from the esti-
nation in which you hold the memory of
your ancestors. In common with you l
pressors and take pride in their acts of dar-
ing and courage. AT the same time if they
had accepted the kind offer made them, and
had earlier learned to build houses, cult
vate the soil and raise cattle and other
stock, and had eXerted themselves to edu-
cate and civilize their children, you would
not have received heritage Of ashes from
campfres, the only marks left to tell Of the
existence of your ancestors except their
silent graves. This bill provides way
for supplying you with houses and
homes, horses end cattle, agricultural
implements, seeds, clothing, provisions,
and money, which will require millions of
dollars; but above all and beyond all it pro-
vides for the education of your children.
By this means they will not only be taught
to read and write, but to learn the arts of
civilized pursuits. They will be taught to
think and act for themselves, and at last to
throw off at once and forever that despot-
ism of darkness and superstition which
has for years riveted CHAINS upon their
arms and suppressed and well nigh oblit-
Grated all the noblest aspirations of the
human heart"
This the kind of talk that will win. 1t
is the kind that the Indian appreciates and
is in striking contrast with the silly bull
doing tactics adopted by Chairman Pratt
while at Standing Rock. 1t is quite evil
dent that the thorough criticism which
Pratt recently received has taught him a
lesson which he will not soon forget, for of
late the other members of the commission
have been given an opportunity to infuse
a little common sense and civility into
their 'plan of campaign"

ST. PAUL, Sept. 6.-The second days ses-
sion of the republican state convention
began this morning with the report of the
committee on platform, read by Gen.
Goodson E. Cole. 1t ratifies the Chicago
nominations and pledges to them the usual
Minnesota majority. The party points
with pride to its record in adopting in its
platform and honestly carrying into eXecu-
tion the most practicable and etfectual re-
straint upon the liquor traffic which has
yet been devised; to the large reduction in
the number OF saloons in the towns and
cities and their extinction in country places
and the smaller villages; to the better OBJ
servance of the demand, the marked and
general Improvement in public morals
which has followed the adoption of high
license principles, and pledges itself to its
continued maintenance and enforcement,
and that no backward steps shall be taken
in the efforts to secure the most effectual
control of the liquor traffic. 1t is uncOm-
promisingly in favor of the
AMERICAN SYSTEM OF PROTECTION.
1t adheres to the repeated declaration of
the state and national platform in favor of
the modification, readjustment and reduc.
ton of the tariff, f,and reiterates the views of
the republican presidents-Garfield and Ar
thur-upon the same subject as well as the
recommendations of the commission ap-
pointed under the last republican admins
tration. 1t declares that all measures of
tariff adjustment should be framed and
conceived in cautious and considerative
spirit, so as not to disturb or impair the
| interests which have grown up under the
existing revenue laws, and as far as posi-
pie to relieve the people h;o from unnecessary
into competition with American industry.

gard should be had to such adjustment of
