Those Reservoirs.

Speaking Of the reservoirs at the
headwaters of the Mississippi, and
the appropriations for maintain
ing the same, the Hon. Philetus
Sawyer, U. S. S., Wisconsin, is
reported as freely expressing him
self "that the great reservoir sys-
tenn was a fraud, kept up entirely
for the use of a few saw mills and
loggers, and that the gates of the
dams are only opened when it is
desired to float the seasons cut of
logs Venerated shades ghosts

Bill' seems yet to haunt the mem.
Dry of some Of the patriarchal Sen
ators at Washington.
The reservoirs should be increas-
ed and maintained, and we believe
that every individual residing in
the towns, villages and cities
along the Mississippi, from Itaska
to the Gulf of Mexico, will but
voice our sentiment. Commerce,
navigation, the health of the peo-
pie and their safety from floods and
the preservation of our grand
Northern forests demands that the
reservoir system be increased and
maintained.

ces of evils fall everywhere alike.
These condition Of things we do
not place within the movements
OF this party or that party. These
condition Of things are rather the
offspring Of social life, exhibiting
themselves in the only channels
possible, that is within the circle
Of commerce. But they must per
force have a connection with
things political, because they
themselves are part and parcel Of
|,politics in its widest sense.
But it is when the spirit Of mo-
nopoly, and general exclusion from
pursuits in which any one who
has the requisite capital and ca
pacity should be allowed to engage
/ in, shows itself in our midst that
we feel impelled to cry still more
aloud.
In recent mum Der we had oc-
casion to discuss the features of
the proposed bill giving the Indi-
an the right Of law, and incident
ally we mentioned it's effects upon
certain pursuits within any Indian
territory.
We would call attention again
to the incident alluded to:
| It is well known fact to any
one conversant with the laws and
rules regulating commerce with
Indian tribes, that license to
trade was a feature deemed nee
essary at an early date in the his.
tory of this country. This plan
had it's good and bad sides, and
perhaps was necessary in the then
condition of things. But to-day
the conditions are changed; the
the social condition of many tribes
Of Indians has so improved that
scores Of individuals are fitted to
engage in commercial pursuits.
The system Of licensing was in
augurated as protection for the
Indian, and to make the foreign
white trader amenable to the Uni
ted States for any breach of law,
or rather we may say it was a mu-
tual protection as between trader
and his clientage. Residents Of
reservations, mainly mixed bloods,
IN time engaged in trade, but had
to comply with the laws regula.
ting commerce with Indian tribes.
No great harm followed the inno-
cent practice, but it is IN the his
tory Of this reservation that, to
crafty personal malice, licenses
have been refused to applicants
within the reservation on one pre-
text or another, but animated
solely by petty spite.
The absurdity of licensing an
Indian became apparent and law
was passed, making it unnecessary
for full blood to take out a IL
cense, but leaving the law in force
as regards the mixed. blood. But
since the status Of the mixed.
blood, being resident of a reser-
walton, is legally that Of an Indian,
we hold that this exclusion is yir-
tually
Discrimination without Cause,
and a promoter of monopoly in
favor Of the full blood, or the
mixed. blood who has the ear of
an agent. In point Of fact it is
the mixed blood alone, so far, who
has engaged in trade, and therefor
the conflict arises within this

DISCRIMINATION.

It is a cardinal principle Of an,
Republican form Of government
that discrimination destroys the
power for good, and which power
lies at the bottom Of correct and
equitable governance.
It is this principle which finds
expression in the memorable words
"all men are born free and equal,
and in the no less uncertain sound
that no man is to be molested ii
the lawful pursuit Of peace and
happiness.
! And while it is true that these
words of the constitution are in.
tended to govern the mass Of peo-
pie who are citizens of the coun-
try, it is but just to remember
that the principle in itself is ''as
old as the hills,'' and therefore
has moral application even out
side of purely national govern
ment.
! We cannot say that the trainers
Of the Constitution were SO divine
ly inspired as to raise the curtain,
and peer into futurity; seeing the
negro free and clothed with all the
power and rights Of citizenship;
the Indian then a being having no
connection in any form with the
affairs of his white neighbor, shar-
ing with him, and the citizen Of
sable hue, the rights of the citi-
zen and the protection of the gov
eminent.
But we may believe that they
gave utterance to thought which
should cover the grounds, and pro-
tect the career Of any individuals
who should live under the
Folds Of the Stars and Stripes!
The men of those days reading
life's events in the history Of the
past, knew that the territory be.
tween ocean and ocean would in
the years to come TEEN with a
population not. entirely of native
birth, and so the fathers of the
incipient nation voiced the law Of
moral nature: uttering words Of
intense significance; and applica.
BILE to the reigns Of time and space.
And thus while they may not have
contemplated the complexion Of
citizenship in its racial aspect,
they did provide for the political,
educational and commercial equal
ity of any who might choose to be-
come citizens, or who by force Of
circumstances would become such.
But in these days how much dis
regard is cherished towards the
principles Of equity.
Of political disregard we will,
here, say nothing, but we do wish
to emphasize the attitude in this
land, and against which labor has
long and apparently, helplessly,
str1ven, and, against which even
legislation seems powerless, viz:
the monopolies and trusts against

A NEW THEORY OF SLEEP.
How Sufferers From Insomnia May
Find Relief.

1t is now, | believe, generally ac,
cepted that our conscious, daylight
thinking processes are carried on in
the sinister half of our hrain-i e.,
in the lobe which controls the action
of the right arm and leg. Ponder
ing on the use of the dexter half OF
the brain-possibly in all uncon-
sciOus cerebration, and Whatsoever
may be genuine of the mysteries of
planchette and spirit rapping-I
came to the conclusion shared, no
doubt, by many other better quail
fled inquirers) that we dream with
this lobe, and that the fantastic, un-
moral, spirit-like character of dreams
is in some way traceable to that fact.
The epracticalinference then struck
me. To bring sleep when lost we
must quiet the conscious, thinking,
sinister side of our brains, and bring
into activity only the dream side,
the dexter lobe. To do thisthe only
plan l could devise was to compel
myself to put aside every waking
thought, even soothing and pleas
ant ones, and every effort of day
light memory, such as counting
numbers or the repetition of easy
flowing verses, the latter having
been my not wholly unsuccessful
practice for many years, Instead of
all this saw must think of a dream,
the more recent the better, and go
over and over the scene it presented.
Armed with this idea, the next time
l found myself awakening at = or 8
O'Clock in the morning, instead of
merely trying to Danish painful
thought and repeating, as was my
habit, that reccommendahle sopo-
rife Paradise and the Peri" l re-

go on with it. In moment was
