The Sioux Reservation,

The outlook for the opening to settle
ment of the Sioux reservation Of Da-
kota is very favorable. A bill for this
purpose has been reported to the house
from the committee on Indian affairs,
and measure having similar object
is on the senate calendar. The house
bill provides for the division of the
reservation, by which eleven million
acres would be opened to settlement.
The demand for this action has been
made for years, and the time has GER
tainly come when it should be responded
to. There is no disposition on any hand
to do any injustice to the Indians, but
to treat them with entire fairness
while removing an obstruction to the
growth of a great territory which
has already been a decided drawback
and must be still more so in the future.
This reservation lies between the east
ern and western portions OF the terri
tory, and is at once a standing barrier
to emigration and block to internal
improvements. Covering an area Of
twenty-five million acres, larger than
many uOurlSHiuS otdtSS, ~ Is largely
under present conditions waste place,
No one pretends to deny that the ex-
istence of this great reserve has re-
tarded the progress Of Dakota, and no
one questions that on every practical
ground it's opening to settlement is
desirable, put opposition has been
based wholly upon the plea that
the government was under cer-
tain obligation to the Indians which
would be violated by any interference
with the reservation.
Argument of this nature must stead
lily lose force with the advancing march
of white population and the decreasing
area of the public domain. Sentiment
must inevitably give way under the ac-
cumulating pressure Of practical cir
cumstances. The conviction has OBJ
tanned and will not be removed that the
highest good of the Indians themselves
demands that they shall be brought into
immediate contact with the obligations
| and the conditions of civilized life, and
| taught to understand and assume them.
| This is what is contemplated in the
severalty policy, which has commended
! itself to the best judgment OF the

The Mail Service West.

The efforts of democrats in the senate
to find some excuse or palliation for the
inefficiency of the mail service in the
west cannot prove profitable to those in
dividuals or to the party. The facts are
too plain in evidence Of the incapacity
or Indifference of the postmaster general
to be explained away by such a puerile
claim, for example, as that OF Mr.. Rea-
gan that the evil complained of was due
to incompetent republican clerks. This
is not at all political matter, as Sena-
tor Manderson said, but if democratic
senators challenge a comparison of
the service under Mr.. Villas
and his predecessors there
would doubtless be little difficulty
in showing that wherever there has oc-
Cured notable decentralization and in
efficiency they are due to the dlsplace-
ment of experienced and faithful re-
publican clerks. But the chief cause of
the inadequate and faulty mail service
in the west rs doubtless to be found in
the inordinate desire of Mr.. Villas to
make reputation for the economical
administration of the postoffice depart
ment. To accomplish this the mail
service in this section was crippled, to
the great inconvenience and injury of
its people, and now when the senators
from this section ask that an inves-
tigatiOn be made in order to ascer-
tain the cause and the remedy,
they are met with such contemplate
charges as that of Mr.. Reagan that the
complaint is made for political capital.
The west, however, will persist in its
demand until the evil it justly complains
of is removed. Perhaps the present
postmaster general, with less ambition
to pose as reformer and more concern
for the interests and welfare Of the
people, will make this easy Of accom-
plislfment.

to use the columns OF the Republicdn In
support Of the move TO annul the city
hall plans made by Architect Myers and
get a job for Architect Hodgson. Mr..
Nye lays great stress upon the fact that
he had not written to Mr.. Roupds. but
had written to Mr.. Rothacker. IL Mr..
Nye had been present at the board OF
trade meeting he would not have taken
advantage Of an unauthorized change Of
copy by the printer. The editor OF the

mits that Mr.. Hodgson procured letter
from him to Rothacker. He says that
Mr.. Hodgson told him (Nye) that it was
probable that Mr.. Myers con-
tract would be annulled, and asked
his assistance in securing the
job for himself" Now how did Mr..
Hodgson know about the scheme weeks
before the council had taken any action?
What assistance could Mr.. Nye render
him at that stage unless it was by boil
stering up the whole gang in the coun-
Gil in their effort? If the move was in
the interest of the city what need was

that although he adyertises; his advertisements
