Piarre's ProsperitY.

Pierre is jubilant. The long expected
boom is now said to be fairly or. The

Dictated in the following taken from the
Pierre Press of the 9TH inst:
The real estate furry has developed
into a boom, and non can tell what a
day will bring forth. Orders by wire
are coming in lively, and deals aggre-
eating all the way from 81 900 to $4,000
are made through telegraph and letter
by parties who cannot wait to get there.
Strangers from every part of South Da-
kota are Hooking III, filling the hotels
ana putting an appearance of new life
and action into the streets, and from all
parts of the country the inquiries are
coming thick and fast for Pierre proper
ty.
The boom thus far has been entirely
on the strength of capital prospects, and
the progressive movement that the
opening Of the great Sioux reser vation
will create is yet in its infancy. The
opinion is gaining ground that Pierre
has a sure thing on capital location, and
this fact alone is explanatory of the
great real estate boom of the past week

The erroneous impression has obtain
ed that the Sioux reservation bill did
not contain a submission clause in
other words, that the consent Of the In
dams was not a condition of the bill.
1t is somewhat strange that a newspaper
of the standing ofthe Sioux City Journ-
al should so sadly mislead It's readers
upon a matter Of news so important to
its numerous Dakota patrons. Let it
now 20 forth as o lamentable fact, that
the consent of majority ofthe Indians
must be secured in order to make the
law effective, and that without this
provision, the bill would have met the
potent opposition of the doughty Dawes,
which would have knocked it higher
than Gilderoy's kite.

The full importance of the bill for the
opening of the Sioux reservation in
Dakota was lost sight Of in the excite
ment and hurly-burly which always at
tend the inauguration Of a president
The bin was one OF the last TO pass con
gress and it was signed by President
Cleveland only a few hours before he
babe adieu to the white house. This
measure which is now the law insures
the speedy opening Of the reservation.
SO much is finally settled. 1t is in every
way superior in its provisions to the
measure under which a year ago it was
vaihly sought to open the reservation.
The absurd provision for securing the
consent Of the Indians is wisely omitted
from the present law. 1t is well that it
is SO, for that provision is a fraud to
begin with. 1t is a fraud to pretend to
treat with trifling savage tribes on the
same basis as with independent nations,
when all the fundamental relations be-
tween them and the government pro-
coed or the assumption that they are not
independent, but ahjectly dependent.
1t is also as much a farce as a fraud, as
the experience Of the commission ap.
| pointed under the defunct bill of a year
ago, As we'll as in other notable oc-
c%asions, abundantly proves. The will
Of the savages in any event cuts no
figure, and it ought not to do SO. The
previous law offered the Indians the
equivalent Of 80 cents an acre for the
land to be relinquished, whereas the
present law provides for the payment of
81 per acre, to be properly disposed Of
in the interest of the Indians. This is
generous, and more than generous. The
lands to be opened to settlement, though
of the richest and most productive
capacity, are of absolutely no use to the
Indians, while the lands reserved to
them are far beyond their needs or their
power to improve. 1t require some
little time to dispose Of the prelimin-
aries prescribed in the law. 1t will take
some months TO make the division OF
the lands reserved and to apportion the
balance into convenient districts. But
these and similar matters are all that
remain to be disposed Of before the
lands are thrown open to the public and
made available to civilization. There
will inevitably be an immense move.

y late issue OF the Omaha Dispatch
has the following: Last Monday morn
ing Ben Trout, a stock man from Custer
county, Dakota, was in Omaha on his
way home from Chicago, where he had
been to dispose ola couple of car loads
of fat cattle, the product of his 10000
acre range, and because he had a fine
fur beaver overcoat and a shabby suit of
clothes he was run in as a suspicious
character. Trout had several hundred
dollars in his pocket. and after estab-
fishing his identity he was released and
allowed TO Journey westward, there to
attend TO the duties Of his farm. But
again Trout seems to have been caught
in the snares that beset honest mems
footsteps, for this morning the chief re-
ceived a telegram to the effect that he
had been arrested at Harvard and ask
ing if he was wanted in this city. From
indications now it begins to look as

The last legislature of Dakota didn't
make a very good record as far as the
employment of unnecessary clerks was
concerned. When the two houses adj
journed yesterday there were seventy
clerks on the rolls. The clerk hire of
the session was nearly $4,000. The
house was the more ~extravagant body /.
it employed forty three clerks. Practic-
ally a clerk for every member. OF
course the members did not use the
clerks, but they might as well have used
them, as they didn't do anything excep,
in a few instances. The very extrava-
CANT legislature Of 1887 only expended
SS,7S7 for clerical service. The cost o.
printing for 1887 was $4,447. This year
the Territory will have to pay about
$4,000. All this in face of the fact that
very few bills were passed and very
little done. 1t looked like the last grail
at the territorial treasury, and almost
everybody got on the pay roll.-Pio

SCHEMES OF THE LOBBY.
A Plan to Worry the Lawyers in
the Sioux Falls Convention.

the sioux rails convention.
SIOUX FALLS, OAK, July 23.-The
South Dakota constitutional convention
held short session to-day. The greater
part of the session was devoted to the
consideration of the reports of standing
committees that had been made spe-
cial order. Among reports submitted
was that of the judiciary. An attempt
was made to defer action On the report
of this committee until Thursday, pos
sibly with the purpose of firing out the
delegations that have come here from
the dissatisfied districts to lobby
for the defeat of the major
ity report and a new deal in
the arrangements of the judicial dis
tricts. The report was finally made a
special order for tomorrow, at which
time its adoption will be holly con-
tested, and an attempt made to substi-
tute a minority report. The feeling is
general that the arrangement of the dis
trictS is an excellent one, and the re-
port of the committee will doubtless be
adopted. A notable feature of to-day's
proceedings was the presentation of a
communication from the American
Sabbath union, signed by Elliott F.
Shepard, Maj. Gen. o. o. Howard, ].
H. Knowles, and Wilbur F. Crafts,
asking the convention to insert in the
constitution provision protecting and
encouraging Sabbath observance.
The communication was referred
to a special committee of
five. including three reverend
delegates. The committee on legisla-
tive apportionment has made some prog
ress. They reached an agreement to-
day as to senatorial apportionment by
which the number of districts is fixed at
fOrty-one, and the number of senators
at forty-fve, the latter number being
the limit as provided in the constitution.
This agreement is practically in accord
with the apportionment agreed upon
some time ago, being one senator for
every 1880 voters, or major fraction
thereof. The report of the committee
is not a unanimous one, the vote stand
Ing thirteen to nine in its favor. The
minority object that the number of SEN
atorS is too great for the present popula-
ton, and further that counties having
voting population of 1900 and over,
get but one senator, while other coun-
Ties having LOO or 1900 voters are
equally represented.
