In his veto OF the HalfIoliday bill Governor
Hill said that it is matter to be largely regu-
lated by public sentiment When it comes TO
high license, however he is not willing to let
public sentiment have any show at all. Public
sentiment of the best sort in both parties and in
all churches was emphatically in favor Of this
mode Of restricting the evils Of the saloon But
the Governor had hardihood enough 20 defy this,
and array himself with the enemies Of society and
good order in the hope that he might thus achieve
some political advantage.

The Massachusetts, Railroad Commissioners do
clare that the inspection OF wheels is very far
short of what 1t ought TO be. In the case OF the
accident which called out the criticism, they say
that the inspection was amentalsc mockery.'
That this is not too strong a statement is. shown
by the testimony Of an employs who asserted
that IL was customary TO rap the wheels because
1t produced good impression on the public No
doubt many traveller has felt relieved at hear
ing the sound Of the hammer OH the wheels Of
the car in which he was journeying, and COM
placcntly thought that soulloss corporation

Has the public been deceived in this matterp Are
the wheels only tapped in order TO lull the pas
sengers into sense Of security that has solid
foundation? The remarks Of the Massachusetts
Commissioners lend color to that view of the
matter. One thing is oertain--that railway COM

Destructive Fire.

. & i Il
On Tuesday evening about 10
o'clock, the old Government
building formerly occupied as a
school boarding house and girls
dormitory was discovered to be on
fire, and oweing to the lateness Of
the hour and the scarcity Of water,
was soon in flames, and in about
a half an hour the structure was
levelled to the ground; the several
tenants barely escaping with their
lives. The origin Of the fire is
supposed to be oweing to defective
stovepipes and undue diligence to
the care Of same. The loss is esti-
mated at from $1,000 to $4,000,
upon which there was no insur-
ance. Our people feel greatly the
loss of this building as it was con-
sidered one Of the best and most
imposing structure in White
Earth and looked upon as the
home Of the reservation.

viii The Indians Work !? +

This question seems just now to
be assuming the phase of a mania
among that class of Indian civil.

Indian and his wants has been de-
rived from dime novels and en-
bellished with personal theories,
and profuse sentimentality. To
such we would say, that hardly
three weeks ago an order was iss-
ued from the Government grant
ing privilege to the Indians to cut
down and fallen ti1nbe,' ETC.. ),
there are now eight camps on the
White Earth reservation and three
at Red Lake, running in full blast
and employing some two hundred
men !! And up to latest reports all
were doing well and every man
was doing his duty. All things
considered, can any community
put forth better showing? And
let it not be understood that these
men are showing this disposition
to work because they want to
please the government or It's off.

On Friday evening while we

this world was devoid of all sweet
ness and charms to editorial life.
the sound of sweet music sudden
" fell upon our ear and before we
could conjecture whence came
the--sound, our office door
was thrown open by DR.. Rea, who
was acting the part Of drum major,
and the .'White Earth brass Band

up their several position la mode,
soon they struck up well,

limited musical knowledge will

dy the Major went through the
trying gyrations Of the Persian

The past week has been one Of
cold and storm, in fact the coolest
that has been known here for ma
ny years. Thursday snow was
falling gradually, and towards
evening the wind had shifted to
the Northwest and genuine biz
zerd set in, at about midnight the
gale was furious---akin to torna-
do-howling and hurting the

so fierce was the storm that peo-
pie got up from their beds and
kept vigil during the night. Trans.
portation has been stopped and it
will probably be a week or two be-
fore the roads are in a passable
condition; the great depth of snow
will also tend to make numbering
slow and difficult; the stages on
the mail routes have been block

RED LAKE AGENCY, Minn.

RED LAKE AGENCY, Mimi.
Dec. 26, 1887.
Mr.. Editor
Considerable excitement has
existed here lately in Church cir.
cles oWeing to an attempt which
was made to shoot a minister from
White Earth who was up here re-
Gently making his usual routine
trip.
It seems that some domestic
trouble exists in the family of an
Indian minister who is located
here, in which the minister from
White Earth has taken an active
part against the Indian minister's
wife, this so incensed the woman
that she secured a revolver and
went to the Episcopal church
where she fourished il in threat
.en1ng manner and had it not been
for the timely Interference Of
friends serious trouble may have
resulted.
Our object in giving this inform
alton to The Progress is to suggest
to the Indians upon the several
reservations in this State which
are visited by this white minister,
that it is time they should make
applications to the authorities at
Washington to remove from the
Indian country man who is Gre
ating so much trouble among them
and who has made himself so odi.
GUS, not only to the Indians, but
to the members Of his own church
by constantly meddling in the po-
:litical and domestic affairs Of the
Indians.
The Roman Catholic priest,
Tcmazine was removed from this
reservation for far less cause, and
there should be no temporizing
with the minister referred to.
It is well-known in the Indian
country that after thirty years Of
faithful and incessant labor as a
missionary among his people, the
venerable and well-beloved REV.
j. J. JOHNSON, was ANONYMOUSLY
retired from the charge Of the
Episcopal church at White Earth,
oweing to some difficulty in rela-
tion to Church matters which had
occurred between him and the sub
ject of this communication.
We are Informed that this man
is the immediate cause Of the
troubles which exist at White
Earth, and that he has, through
certain Indian agents over whom
he had almost exclusive control,
conducted the prosecutions against
certain members Of the said reser-
walton, hence we say it is time he
was removed. MUcK-WAH.
