Their TrOuble Ispeius.

The Republicans in the lower House
Of Congress are already feeling the en-
barrassment of having the responsibility
upon them of the control of the business
OF the House, with only few votes to
make the majority that gives it to them.
1t is not an enviable position for party,
and Speaker Reed is likely to wish many
time that he had not let his ambi-
tion run away with him and
put him in charge of so difficult work
as the keeping Of his party in solid line
to meet the every ready attack of its
opponents. The speaker will exhibit
generalship of high order if he can
keep all of his party band always in
good humor and always ready to
follow his lead and obey his
command. In view of the number
of aspiring leaders on the Republican
side and the diversity of interests which
move them, 1t is safe enough TO conclude
that Speaker Reed will not be able
always TO carry out his own ideas, wise
and honest though they may perchance
be; or otherwise as they are likely to be.
There is pretty sure to be monkey aud
parrot time in Congress and ii NAV
be to the peoples profit. 1t is certain
that no strongly partisan legislation can
be enacted and whatever may come
out of the mill will have upon il the
conservative marks Of a compromise of
political opinion.

use of money can not make good citizens
of ssvaces in one generation. The hve
civilized tribes of the Indian territory
show, by their history, both the
possibility and the difficulties OF
indian civilization. They were forced
10 advance or perish by conditions
similar to those that must soon prevail
with all the tribes. The Cherokces, in
Georgia, were hemmed In by white
civilization and as their boundaries drew
closer and their game was exhausted
starvation urged them to agriculture and
industry, the influence of missionary
teachers was firmly established and
their famous Sequoyah invented an
alphabet. From this firm natural
foundation their civilization has ad-
yanccd since their removal to the terri
tory. A study Of their history must
be the basis Of all successful efforts
for the improvement OF other
tribes, and II will teach that many other
things besides education are needed TO
make civilized man, and among them
time, patience and the pressure OF dire
necessity. The education OF young saw
ages is a very interesting experiment In
human culture. Popular education Is
one of the last branches Of our slow
grown civilization, and the grating OF
II on the wild Indian, needs to be done
with care, and may have unexpected re-
suits.

Indian EducatiOD,

AT the seventh annual meeting of the

that the Indian could no longer he
pushed back into the wilderness; the
days of Indian reservations are num-
bered and the sayages must be trained
for the use Of lands in severalty, and
their children given the school advant-
ages provided for all other nationalities.
He had good deal to say of his scheme
for Indian education, for which he wants
two millions for buildings and three mil
lions year for the current expenses of
educating Indian children. Under the
circumstances General Morgan could
hardly fail to follow in the path SO
plainly marked for him by the work of
Captain Pratt and others; and the pre-

streets Of Custer at this writing, one
cannot escape the conclusion that her
citizens have fully imbibed the belief
that the place has now safely passed the
danger line, and fairly entered upon an
era Of unbroken prosperity. Indica-
tons pointing Enthusiastically to such a
conviction are numerous and conclusive.
Unq%uestionable evidence Of a growing
confidence IN the future progress of tie
place is shown in the elaborate i'm.

Established business houses are beino
renovated and remodeled, and new ones
erected; new residences are being built,
and old ones made attractive. Hun.
dreds OF shade trees greet the eve. where

ness the rule and it may be said with

rightfully ranks first, in point Of attrac-
~tiveness, upon the list of Black Hills
towns.

A Sound Decision.

We clip the following from the Rapid
Republican, giving n decision by Judge
Thomas in a case coming before him at
| the late term of the district court at
| Rapid, which will be refreshing reading
for our local patrons;
"The case Of the Holcombe Cattle
company vs.. John A, kelliher occupied
the attention Of the court all Of yester-
day. A temporary restraining order
had been issued to keep the treasurer
from collecting taxes levied by Penning-
ton county on plaintiffs cattle. Plaintiff
claimed that their cattle was not in PEN
nington county, but were on the Sioux
reservation, in the Indian country
where territorial law had no jurisdic-
ton. The assessor claimed that al
though the cattle were on the reserya-
ton, the owners lived across the line in
this county. After hearing the evidence
Judge Thomas decided that the assess
ment was legal and dismissed the case.
Colonel Parker, plaintiffs attorney, was
very anxious to introduce authorities in
support of his theory, but the court init
mating that it was a case Of fact rather
than law. In order to give time for a
finding of facts preparatory TO an appeal
to a higher court, thirty days were given
to file the findings"

Taxation OF Brnnds.

The Sturgis Record has the following
concerning the taxation Of brands,
which would seem to commend itself to
the favorable consideration Of the pub
lie, and which will doubtless be gener.
ally endorsed
Treasurer Huffman has Thus early
dug up a very important defect, or over
sight, or neglect in the laws, and will
open correspondence with other Black
Hills officials for the purpose Of having
it rectified if possible, at the first session
Of the state legislature, hoping thereby
to secure a large amount Of revenue that
has heretofore been withheld, and
place a valuable class of taxable prop
erty in such position that it cannot es-
cape paying its just proportion Of the
levy. Reference is maze to the taxa
ton of brands, and the assessment OF
taxes against such, holding the brand
responsible for unpaid taxes wherever
found. This scheme has long been
worked in nearly all western states and
1890
territories, and is considered q most
successful one. At present the defective
law of Dakota on that subject opens the
door Of fraud. If a bunch of cattle,
large or small, is assessed for any sum.
the transfer Of title by bill Of sale, or
otherwise, 10 an innocent purchaser"
leave no redress to the county for the
collection Of delinquent taxes, except
against other property Of the first
holder. Thus it will be seen that By a
simple transfer Of title through two or
three trusted, or even fictitious parties,
payment of taxes can be evaded almost
indefinitely. Indeed, such "a scheme
has been successfully tried time and
again in the Black Hills. Treasurer
Hufiman's idea is to have taxes follow
the brand the same rs in real estate il
follows title. By that means no man
could sell even one animal withou,
having cleared up all delinquent taxes
1t is a good idea and should be put
through.
