INDIAN TREATIES AT HOME.

The announcement of tho agreement
between the Indian commission and the
Cuur d. Alene Indians for the cession of
u large portion of the Co,ur a. A lene res
crvation in North idaho will be received
with qualification, as il opens for set
tlement and development vast area OF
valuable land, which has hitherto been
unoccupied save by tt small band OF
shiitless rel men WHO have no ambition
in the direction of husbandry or any
thing else beyond IA mere subsistence.
This treaty will enable thousands Of
white people to OBTAIN desirable homes,
and rs these arc improved the entire
country surrounding will be benefited.
The Indians, also, will share in the hen
Gifts, since they are to- retain u portion
of the lands sufficient ior their maintcn-
ancc-more, in fact, than they can util-
ize advalitagcously--and ;he contact
with the whites tIius brought about,
will stimulate thcm to greater industry,
and higher degree of civilization and
prosperity will be the result.
II is earnestly hoped that the consum-
nation of this agreement will facilitate
the efforts to bring about similar treaty
with reference TO the Spokane and Col
willie reservations, lying north OF spo-
kane Fails, in Washington. The Colyiilc
reservation alone embraces 2,S0J, 900
acres. rich in minerals, and large por-
tion of it exceedingly valuable for asrl-
cultural purposes. This vast area is
now occupied by less than twelve hun
dred Indians, who are supported largely
ut the expense of the government, and
who are making little or no effort to
utilize their possessions for profit. by
the purchase of all these lands, save u
portion sufficient for the use OF the In
dians, and allotting this TO them in sew
crafty, the government could provide
homes for fifteen to twenty thousand
white families, in one OF the most pro-
ductivc and altogether delightful sec
tions of our country, besides opening to
the prospectors for minerals rich field.
A vigorous effort will be made TO Of.
feet All arrangement of this kind, and
the proposition is entitled to the earnest
support of all who have the power to
aid in the worthy Scause.

A CREDIT TO THIS DISTRICT.

Since the republican party of tho ter.
ritory, and especially of this section, ap-
pears to have gone forth In search of its
OCCASION it seems hardly necessary to
individualiae In noting this fact. In the
selection of Hon. II. Il. Houghton of
this city for joint senator for Spokane
and Stevens counties the party selected
more wisely, perhaps, than most people
u distinguished man in the state of Wis
consin Tor many years before coming to
this territory lie was for long time
prominent figure in the legislature of
that state and during three legislative
terms was ut the head of the judiciary
committee of the senate. The Wiscon-
sin senate elects its clairmen instead of
having them appointed by the presiding
officer, and the continued selection of
Judge Hougiiton for the chuirlnanship
of the judiciary committee of that body
was high compliment to his standing
as lawyer and legislator. He left Il
strong impress of his personality upon
the legislation of Wisconsin, and il was
during his term of service in the senate
that the code of that state was revised
and made one of the most perfect in the
United States. In addition to his long
service In the legislature he was district
attorney in that state for some twelve
years.
In 1884 Judge Houghton was given by
acclamation the republican nomination
for judge Of his judicial district. AS
the district had opuSlican majority of
at least 10000, the nomination was
equivalent to election. Hc had set his
heart upon coming to Washington terri
tory, however, and therefore declined
the nomination for circuit judge and
came direct to Spokane Falls. lie is q
modest, retiring man, but is endowed
with great elements of popularity as
well as with marked intellectual ability.
AS n lawyer he Is wise, cool, honest and
sound. AS speaker he is clear and
forcible. lie will make representative
of great value in the legislature of the
new state of Washington. The republi-
cans are TO be congratulated IN having
put forward such an array of good men
for the Legislature in all parts of tho ter
ritory
, 1889-09-12
HE is A GOOD ONE.

In all parts of the territory the repub .
licans appear to have made most excel
lent selections for the office of superior
judge. In the Judicial district composed d
of Yakima klickitat and Kittitas coun :
tics the nominee Is Carroll B. Graves, u
brother of Frank Ii. Graves of this city.
Carroll Graves Is young man of re-
markable ability. lie is n product of
Illinois but has resided In this territory
since 1895. He commenced life OH 1,
farm In Illinois, went from the public
school to college and graduated ut an
early age. While yet in his teens he
was called to tbs principalship Of one OF
the leading schools OF his section.
Although much younger than any OF
his subordinatcs hc made u great success
of this important trust and had he no
resolved to retire from that calling and
enter upon the study of law lac would
have doubtless achieved high reputa.
ton as an educator. lie was admitted
TO practice a few years ago and is as yet
but twenty-five years Of age. lie has
quiclSi, acquired large practice In his
section and Is 80 strong and popular
with the people that IL is probable tho
democrats Of that district will make no
nomination pgainst him.

WE WANT NO MORE OF rr.

During The democratic administration
every settler on the public domain was
regarded as u rascal. Every hardy
ironticrsman who was struggling against
advorc circumstances to obtain home
for his family and for his own declining
years was treated as trcspasser. A
horde of spies, made up from the late
Confederate army ofthe South, was sent
into the public land district of the North
West to obtain u triiling piece Of tho
land they fought To make free. 1t was II
democratic commissioner of tho general
land oilico who practically suspended
tho public land laws OF the United States
and introduced n reign of terror among
tho homc-seekers of the West, and
whose principal business was to
suspend entries, withhold pat
cnts and cry fraud" II
was u democratic commissioner of the
general land office who endeavorcd to
negative the soldiers homestead law,
who undertook to override congress by
an official suspension OF the pre-emp.
tlOIl lultNt anu tiiliptI tulNic
acts, and who denied poor settler the
right to obtain q home If he was COM
pclied by necessity to be absent II
trihing period to work for others, and
thus obtain IA support for himself and
family while holding his claim. 1t was
democratic commissioner who sneercd
at the lowly cottage, and regarded as an
evidence of fraud the fact that 1t was
not large and commodious. 1t was Il
democratic commissioner who cut down
the clerical force of all the local land
offices to such an extent as to render
them inefficient and comparatively use
less. 1t was democratic commits
sioner who withdrew from the plats of
thirty -one townships of land lying north
of Spokane Falls, upon tho ex parto er-
ports of ono of his special agents sent
out in search of frauds" and who
kept these townships withdrawn durin z
the entire democratic administration,
greatly to the annoyance and incon-
veniencc of settlers. 1t was democratic
commissioner vino threw the entire
public land service of the country into
confusion and prevented honest settlers
aud others from obtaining patents to
which they arc entitled.
How will settlers and others interested
in the public lands and in public i'm
provcmcnts and in public progress and
in public justice vote in the forthcom'
ing election? viii they vote for the
party of obstruction, or will they vote
for the republican party-the party of
progress and hbcralty and justice? 1t
onght not TO require much argument to
no more of the democracy in ours.
