CRANKY SPRINGER,

HE Opposes Division on Principle I'M
less New Mexico is Admitted.
Washington correspondence Omaha
Bee: L asked Mr. Springer this after
noon if there was any prospects of an
agreement or compromise between the
democrats and the republicans on the
territorial admission bill. mot unless
the republicans will agree to admit New
Mexico," he replied. "That is the ulti-
matum. They must tGke us for greater
fools than We are il they think that we
vii! consent to the admission OF four re-
publican territories and refusal 10 ad-
NIT one democEatic territory. | shall
not vote for any bill that does not in
ol ude New Mexico"
"Do you Still insist upon admitting
Dakota as u whole?"
''I am opposed to the division of Da-
hota on principle said MF. Springer.
II do not believe that the people want
the territory divided, 1t is only insisted
upon by the republicans for partisan
purposes, in order to get two more
senators. But do not say that there
is no proposition looking toward di-
vision that Z would not agree to-,
II 1t should appear thst q majority of
the people OF north Dakota should ask
for admission, as Well as majarity
eonth Of the parallel that is suggested
for the dividing line, then there will be
at least one reason for making two
states, that does not exist now. But il
the people OF north Dakota do not want
to be divorced from the southern half
OF the etete, ii is q good reason why the
territory should not be divided
Would not the people of north Da-
kota vote for division, il they thought ii
probable they would also be admitted
| as aGtate?"
81 do not know about that. In order
to determine the question as to the pre-
terences OF the people, both parts Of the
territory should be allowed to vote
separasely, and as soy, il majority Oh
either side of the line should be in isvo.
of division, there would be OF least one
reason for division that does not exist
inow"
"Will you agree to abide by euch 6
| decision in case such vote is saken?'
| :" might accept such division, pro.
vlded the bill would include New
Mexico"
Then you will make nonceEsion tc
the republicans in Dakota, il they vii
admit New Mexico as state?'
| II do not say that. But do say this
that will not consent to che passage
OF single bills for the admission OF the
territories. The territory Of New Mexl-
co has just as many claims for admission
as q state as Dakota, or Washington, o.
Montana and should be trcated like
them. even il it does usually give (
democratic majority"

Congressman Springer declares that
he opposes the division of Dakota on
principle. The principle upon which he
says he opposes the division OF Dako-
ia is the disposition OF the republicans
not to admit New Mexico TO the union,
Statehood conceded to New Mexico and
Mr.. Springer will consent to the division
of Dakota. This is principle, according to
Springer. New Mexico is not entitled
to admission and does not want to be
admitted. But in pursuance of springer's
sqblime principle it may be dragged into
the union against its consent.
Congressman Springer says ii either
half of Dakota will take vote upon the
proposition and show q majority in favor
.,f division it will furnish at least rea-
son for division. MIR. Springer has not
stuGIed his lesson well. Dakotn has
saken vote, on both sides of the line,
and returned majority for division.
There is, therefore, according to
Springer, reason for division,

One of the Questionable features

One of f.she Objectionable features Of
the Sioux Falls constitution is the pro-
vision limiting the bonded indebtedness
OF the state TO S5O0,000. Emergencies
are liable to arise where it would be
desirable 60 incur ind sbtedaess greater
than this, The state of South Dakota,
under an equitable division of the bond
ed indebtedness OF the territory, would
fall heir to debt of Ss667 200, which is
Sl67, 200 more than the state ie permit
ted to owe under Its constitution. State
boada for the excess will not be very
valuable paper If the clause limiting
indebtedness remains as il is.

The Report OF the sioux Commission
and it's Recommendations.


The Report OF the sioux Commission
and It's Recommendations.
The formal report of the Sioux com.
mission is made public and contains
comprehensive history of the commits
sion's efforts to osrfy cut the provisions
of the act, throwing open to settlement
the great expanss of country in Ne
braska and Dakota known as the Sioux
reservation. The Commission is decided
iy severe in its criticisms on the progrt IS
of Indian civilization, and emphatically
ssserts that ''stern and vigorous meas
ares are from this on absolutely essen
tiGi to q soiutIon OF the Indian problem.
The first question to be settled is that of
mazing THESE people self.supportinR."
A continuation of the practice of feeding
and clothing these people 10 ialeness,
says the commission, "at the expense of
millions of dollars per annum, will
prove needless burden upon the tax
payers of the country ,and the rum of
the Indians themselves"
The Indians have wllfnlly refused TO
comply with their treaty obligations,
| and the government has, through con-
siderations of humanity, continued TO
furnish them with ratiops, which it was
not bound to furnish. The treaty terms
| allow the substitution OF bacon and pork
| for beef, and the com mission thinks
| that in the interest of good health and
| decency. as we'll as to do away with the
horrors which surround a bsef killing
dag at the agencies, it would be we'll to
make the substitution. Pork and bacon
| would encourage the consumption OF
vegetables, which sanitary conditions,
among the Indians demand
should be fed to them. 1t
is stated that the growth OF Da-
kota, and the increase of its population,
which would entltle the territory to tour
representatives in congress-, were the
territory admitted as to states, demands
an early settlement OF the question. This
reservation, larger than the stale OF
Indiana, containing 2z,000 900 acres, oo-
cupied by % 900 Indians, stands IN the
way of advancement, of progress and oi
civilization. The Indians stubbornly
refuse to give their consent to the open
ing Of their lands, and believe they can
continue to block up the way of civilizR
tion, at the same tims feeding off the
government. Under these circumstances
tho commission thinks that TO bring
about the civilization of these Indians
the reservation should at once be sur
yeyed, the Indians required, in accor
dance with their treaty stipulation. tc
take their lands by allotment and go tc
work upon them, the surplus land being
sold off; that they should be compelled
to aend their children to school; that
rations end annuities should be firmly
withheld from those who wilfnlly refuse
