The Sioux Indian commission will en-
ter actively upon it's duties in few days.
They will tackle the head chiefs of the
Sioux nation first. If successful in per-
suading Sitting Bull, Gall and other
chiefs to sign the REIMBURSEMENT of a
portion of the great reservation an i'm
portant point will have been gained. 1t
is said these chiefs are opposed to the
measure, but just why it is not clearly
apparent. There are no longer any
buffalo or other game to hunt on this
vast domain and it is absolutely of no
benefit to the red skin to own it. The
commission will doubtless resort to every
strategy to get these willy chiefs to agree
to the opening of portion of this great
area and it is believed they will be sue
cessful.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. JULY ~ 1883

until near 9 at evening. Women seem to
do the bulk of the farm work, and sturdy.
hardy-looking women they are. They
wear coarse clothes and live on rye bread.
II nave seen street PAYERS stop for their
breakfast. 1t was simple rye bread
washed down with water. From light to
dark is the term of days labor, with
poor pay and poor food. My labOring
friends at home, give warm thanks to the
giyer of all good that your lots are cast in
q land OF freedom, where men work, not
ngnt; where women are rosy companions.
and not mere beasts of burden; where you
can do fair days work and get fair
days wage; where your children can
learn to read and write and are not COM
PEELED to watch tlOcks all day in the fields,
the companions of sheep and of swine;
| where if you are sober, Industrious and
economical, you can, if in health, always
lay by enough to keep the wolf away in
your old age.
II have j0urneyed from the west far into
the east, and now have journeyed west

pie In many lands, and have seen them not

by with the assertion that each and every
one of them should pledge himself daily
and earnestly to stand by and support the
country which protects them, and to guard
and watch over the laws that they be not
destroyed"

JUDGE Rose, having been confirmed as
associate justice of Dakota, will doubt
less enter upon the duties of his office in
few days. No Judge ever went into
office under more favorable circum-
stances. Mr.. Rose is we'll known to
nearly every practitioner and has the
esteem and confidence of every citizen in
this district. It is likely that the Judge
will retain the present efficient and faith
full court stenographer, Frank La Wall.
He ought to, unless a more deserving
and capable young democrat can be
found, and that would be impossible.
Mr.. La Wall has been endorsed for this
position by the entire bar of Burleigh
county, without single exception, which
illustrates to a certain extent the high
regard in which he is held by those who
know him best in a business as we'll as
social way.

The republican county central COM
mittee meets tomorrow at 2 o'clock for
the purpose of calling a county conven-
tion for the purpose of nominating a
county ticket to be voted for this fall.
Much depends upon the action of the
committee. An apportionment must be
made that will be fair to all sections Of
the county. If the prejudices of indi
viduals enter into this matter the welfare
and success of the party will be jeop-
ardized. There should be no disposi-
tion on the part of the city to take ad-
vantage Of the country, and the country
representatives must be equally fair.
Party lines have never been closely
drawn in this county. There is a greater
disposition to run a straight ticket this
fall than ever before. II the party is
united there can be no doubt Of success.
The committee has an important task to
perform. Let us hope that it will be
equal to the occasion.

A SCIENTIFIC bugist makes the discov-
cry that it is the female mosquitoe only
that does the biting or sting; that the
male is an amiable vegetarian and never
thirsts for blood. This being the case
the ''slope" must have as great prepon-
derance of the former the present season
as Massachusetts has of spinsters. I'm
gallant as it may seem, there is similar
discrimination in the bird kingdom,
where all the care of the domestic econo-
my falls to the female and all the decora-
tive plumage and song notes to the male.
After all, is not the Indian the true child
of nature, che tolls not neither does he
spin" He may condescend, in a knight
ly way, to do the killing, but his dusky
mate is the burden bearer and the bread
winner. Nature undoubtedly did not in
tend to be unkind to the Sex, but it ie
still remembered that It was 'two she
bears" that destroyed the children.

The senate has passed the bill provid-
ing for the adjustment of accounts of Ia
borers, workmen and mechanics en-
ployed by the government under the
eight-hour law since June 25, 1868, the
date of the act,constituting eight hours a
days work. The republicans voted yea
and the democrats, with the exceptions
of Faulkner, Kenna, Turpie and Voor-
hees, voted nay. This bill provides that
all claims for labor performed in excess
of eight hours per day since the passage
of the eight-hour law shall be referred to
the court of claims and adjudicated, and
that judgment be given against the
United States in favor of each claimant
for the amount found due.

The vote in detail on the passage Of
the Mills bill shows that all the demo-
Gratis voted for the bill except Greenman
and Merriman Of New York, and Sow
den of Pennsylvania. All the republi-
cans voted against the bill except Mel
son of Minnesota, Brewer of North Caro-
lima and Fitch of New York. The inde-
pendents voting for the bill were: An
derson OF Iowa, Hopkins of Virginia and
Smith Of Wisconsin. The senate will
now create and pass substitute bill,
and these two measures will to great
extent be the platforms Of the two par
ties on the tariff question.

The TRIBUNE believes that every
reputable newspaper in the territory will
stand by Auditor Ward in his ruling on the
publication of insurance statements. The
TRIBUNE has not had any of these state
ments to publish this year, but it will
stand by its democratic associates just
the same as matter of principle. AL
though the TRIBUNE believes that the
publication of these statements is good
deal of farce-that is, the law might
just as we'll provide for shorter state
ment-yet as long as the law is on the
statute books it should be observed by
the insurance companies. No publisher
can print these insurance statements &C.
cording to law for less sum than the
regular statuatory rates unless he perjures
himself. Mr.. Ward has taken the posi-
ton that these statements are regular
legal notices, and that the law intends
that they shall be published in paper
having the widest general circulation,
and not in obscure sheets that will publish
anything an advertising agent offers for
any price they may offer. Mr.. Ward is
right. The law may be obnoxious but
that is not the fault of the Dakota press.
The TRIBUNE believes the law should be
modified, but SO long as it stands it
should be lived up to. There is no rea-
son why the insurance companies should
receive advantages over the poor man
who is being sold out under mortgage
foreclosure. Mr.. Ward should not accept
afidavtis from publishers unless they
comply with the provisions of chapter 81,
laws of 1888, and certificates should be
withheld from insurance companies
bringing afidavits falling short of all the
requirements of the law.

A COUNTRY is in good shape when it's
auditor sends out broadcast over the
land, as an advertisement of its advan-
tages, a statement of it's financial condi-
ton. This years statement shows the
assessed valuation for 1883, $4,153,253;
acres in crop to wheat, 100000; bonded
Indebtedness, s25,O00; floating indebt-
edness, nothing; cash in treasurer's
hands, $25,152.1O; average tax on 100
acres, $16.40. Mr.. E. O. Faulkner, the
auditor, is the most efficient officer of the
kind in the territory, and has held hie
office almost from the first settlement Of
the county.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1888-07-27

portionment gives the country precincts
twenty-five and the city precincts twenty
one delegates in the convention. The
apportionment was made substantially
on the legislative vote of two years ago,
when Captain Hughes, for the council,
received 81 votes in the country and 29s
votes in the city. The committee was
in perfect accord on every proposition.
The party in thiscounty is now practically
united-more so than ever beforehand
if it's individual members stand true to
principle and each other the success OF
the ticket this fall is certain.

IT IS believed that the pres

IT IS believed that the president and
secretary of the interior have made no
mistake in selecting the Sioux commits
sion. It is composed of men of well
known integrity and ability and they en-
ter upon their duties with a determina-
tion to effect the treaty with the Indians
as contemplated by the law. Judge John
V. Wright, the member of the commits
sion who passed through the city yester-
day enroute to join the other members at
Standing Rock, is prominent candidate
for commissioner of Indian affairs, backed
by the endorsement of nearly all the
southern senator's. His home is in Nash
vile, Tenn. He was member of con-
gress from 1855 to 1861, being the young
est member of that body. He has held the
offices of circuit judge, special chancellor
and judge of the supreme court of Ten
nessee, and was the democrrtic candidate
for governor of Tennessee in 1880. His
party was divided on the question of the
settlement of the state debt of Tennessee
he favorlng the settlement and his DEM
ocratic opponent opposing the settlement
which division enabled the republicans
to elect their candidate. In 1886 Judge
Wright was chairman of the Northwest
Indian commission, which made treaties
with all the tribes of Northern Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Washington, and the
Cmppewas, of Minnesota, by which
treaties nearly thirty millions of acres of
land will be restored to settlement.
When appointed on the Sioux commits
sion he was chief law officer of the land
department..

have undergone great changes within the
past thirty years. Notification, ceses-
sion aud rebellion were not the legiti-
mate fruit, but the wanton abuses of
that high prerogative reserved to the
sovereign states, and it would be equally
as just to say that Horace Greeley lacked
patriotism and loyalty to the govern
ment because at one time he made use of
the expression, "let the union slide," as
to suppose that Chief Justice Fuller
would be an unsafe man to sit upon the
supreme court bench because he held
views in common with some of the most
eminent jurists of the country who have
preceded him in that position. lis there
not danger Of the other extreme? Amap
of the United States with the state line
obliterated (and state lines mean nothing
if they don'tmea political subdivisions,
would have as little expression on a
map as the Atlantic ocean, and the social
and political relation of this great ma
ton would be as much at sea with these
lines erased as the great raft started
from the coast of Main that never got
anywhere. Senator Edmunds represents
state in the United States senate-and
Senator Evarts long had home there
that came into this confederation of
states the first and most pronounced
child of state sovereignty ever born into
the union after the original thirteen. It
cannot be admitted that all respect for
states rights has died out in the hearts
of these eminent statesmen, or that they
can see in it at the present day prin-
ciple SO obnoxious to the present system
of government as to disqualify it's former
or present advocate to even the ermine
of the supreme bench.
But this paragraph was not started for
an article or criticism. It was sug-
gested more by the contrast of sentiment
in the views of the senators with those
expressed by Charles Dudley Warner in
his "Studies of the Great West" He
says: II can conceive of no greater
enemy to the union than he who would
by any attempt at further Capitalization
weaken the self-dependence, pride and
dignity of single state. It seems to me
that one travels IN vain over the United
States if he does not learn that lesson"
Mr.. Warner is an impartial writer and
seems to have clear conception of the
fitness of things in general and good
government in particular. Senators Gull
lom and Farwell, who championed Full
ler's confirmation, are as loyal as Ed
munds and Stewart, who argued against it.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1888-07-27

EVEN the democratic judges are having
trouble. Down in the Grant county dis
trict, Judge Spencer is being criticized
for attempting to make permanent ap-
pointment Of district attorney. It is held
that he has no such power under the
statutes, and if he has, the press Of that
district hold that he has failed to ap-
point "some suitable person." as the law
requires. It seems he has appointed q
mere beginner in practice, % years Of
age and recent arrival from New York.
