ANOTHER SENATORIAL TOrR.

There is promise OF an unusual amount
OF special information for tho attention
of the United States senate from the
numerous committees of that body en-
gagged in investigation Committees
have been studying our commercial and
railway relations with Canada, another
is to investigate the question of irriga-
tion, and stlll another Is to examine into
the condition of Indian tribes along the
northern border of the Uni ted States.
This last committee, of which Senator
Dawes is chairman, will start for
the scene OF its labors aud pleas
urcs next Monday, going first to Port
Townsend, Washington territory,
whence it will proceed by government
steamer TO Alaska
The resolution of the senate direct
ing this Investigation authorizes the
committee to examine into the cOndi-
tion OF all the northern tribes, espec-
tally the Indians on the White Earth
reservation in Minnesota. 1t is also to
investigate tho conduct OF the Indian
agents and their subordinates and en-
ployes at any of the agencies in that
quarter, with u view to ascertaining
whether any OF them have neglected
their duties or have abused their au-
thority in their dealings with the In
diaps, and examine into the distribution
of anuCities or other appropriations,
made for the benefit of the Indian
tribes, by said agents.
There was good reason for directing
this investigation. For several years
there have been numerous complaints
that tho Indian tribes in the northwest
were not bcing justly dealt with by the
agents, that they wore being deprived
of part of the provision made for them
by the government, and that the agents
were enriching themselves at the ex-
pen SO Of the Indians. A number OF
well-authenticated cases of this kind
were brought 10 the attention of the
interior department under the last
administration, but owing to the in
difference and generally loose manage
ment OF the predecessor Of the present
commissioner very little attention was
paid 10 charges of delinquency on the
part of Indian agents. 1t is uotori-
Gus that many of the agents appointed
under the last administration were men
totally unfit for this service, and it was
to have been expected that they would
take every advantage of their oppor-

THE tens OF thousands of people
throughout the country who contributed
TO the relief OF the Conemaugh sufferers
have right to know what disposition
has been made of the funds in the hands
of the various relief committees. 1t Is es-
timated that the reported loss of prop
erty at Johnstown and elsewhere has
been exaggerated. The total loss, not
including the damage sustained by the
Pennsylvania railroad and the Cambria
iron works, can not be more than eight
or nine millions instead of from twenty
to thirty millions, as first reported. In
all, the aggregate loss of houses in the
Concmaugh valley may be safely esti-
mated at two thousand. 1t seems to be
the purpose of Governor Beaver and the
relief committees to rebuild as many
small houses as tho means at their COM
mand will allow, not to exceed total
cost of II half n million. This will c,r-
tainly go far in giving the ncely citi-
zens new start in life until they can get
upon their feet again. 1t may be nee
essary, moreover, to spend million to
clean up the streets. But the pressing
ced OF the hour Is for funds to buy the
uecessaries of life in order to feed,
clothe and house the thousands of home
less women and children of that grief
stricken region. Although the gener-
osity of the American people has put in
the hands of the relief committee funds
that can not fall much short of three
millions of dollars, u second appeal has
just been made from Johnstowu that all
moneys contributed for the sufferers and
held by the mayors of cities be sent at
once. There is little question but that
the cry for aid will meet with generous
response, and that additional sums will
be collected for the unfortunate region.

PLANS for the building OF an extern
sive beef and pork packing establish
ment have been perfected at Minneap-
oils, and If the plant be erected,
an endeavor will be made TO
supply all the meat necessary
for consumption in that state. The
enterprise shows the hollowness upon
which the local inspection beef bill in
Minnesota was enacted. 1t was en-
acted on the ground that the public
health was endangered by tho use OF
packed dressed beef. 1t seems incon-
sistent, therefore, that Minneapolis
should now propose to engage in the
very business which the laws of the
state irown upon. However, there is
grim consolation in this fact. II Min
ncsota will not eat dressed beef pre-
pared in Nebraska aud elsewhere, she
will at least be obliged to patronize
more literally tho stock markets OF
northern Nebraska, to the benefit OF
our farmers.

For reasons best known to California
the people of that state are looking for

course, revive the mining excitement,
or possibly create land boom, but both

rate, Mexico is, too Jealous of her barren
