The Reservation.

affairs upon the Clifford bill, for the
opening of the Sioux reservation was
submitted to the house yesterday. The
report declared squarely in favor of open
ing that portion of the reservation lying
between White and Cheyenne rivers,
without any further dickering with the
Indians, who are wards OF the govern
meut Neither the corrupting influences
of red blankets and trinkets shall tempt
them, nor the ''moral suasion" Of glitter
ing bayonets, just to let them know it is
fair bargain. The construction. Of rail-
ways and the advance of settlement must
soon occupy their reservation, and it be-
comes the duty Of the government to
make such disposition of that portion OF
it as will secure for them remunerative
prices. The welfare OF the Indians de-
mands the breaking up of their tribal re-
lations and the dominating influence of
great chiefs should cease, 80 that the
welfare of the common, Indian be pro-
noted. Each Indian. shall know that he
is entitled to 16O acres OF land. His
power to dispose OF this land is withheld
for twenty five years and longer if the
president considers it wise. The COM
mittee recommends that $125 per acre
should be paid for land settled upon dur
ing the first three years.. Otherwise the
price remains substantially as provided
for in the original bill. The committee
also recommended that $2,0OO,OO0 shall
be deposited at once as a permanent
fund to the credit Of the Indians, interest
to be expended annually. The commit
tee cites number Of decisions of the su-
preme court of the United States to sus-
tain the position that congress has power
thus to deal with the reservation, and
that the Indian title is meuely possessory
and nothing more. Delegate Clifford
says regarding the committee report:
I think the policy OF dealing with In
dams should be changed The old prac-
tice of securing the consent of the
Indians must be stopped The Indians
of Indian territory and New York, where
lands are held by this tribal patent, are
no further advanced in civilization than
were their fathers fifty some years ago.
We in the northwest will never consent
to the issuance of tribal patents to In
dams. Let each Indian have title to his
land. These Indians must become of
our body polite in Dakota. We cannot
kill them nor drive them away. We
must live with them and they with us.
No man is true philanthrophist who
fails to understand the true circumstances
and needs of his subjects. Nobody in
Dakota wants. to steal or rob the Indians
We are ready TO, Join hands with our
eastern friends aad do whatever can be
done for the Indian and his welfare
We cannot and never will consent to an
Indian policy dictated by Sitting Bull,
Grass. Gall, White Ghost and Red
Cloud The real enemies of the Indians
today are q few people, two or three I
have met here, who obtain their liveli-
hood by creating and keeping up a con-
tinusd misunderstanding between the

IGNORANCE or TEXAS.

Some extracts from Wisconsin papers
printed in to-day's GAZETTE show the
need of advertising Texas, if the state
desires immigration. The common people
do not read comptrotlers reports and the
details of the census, and the ignorance
among the people of other states con-
corning Texas is not remarkable. The
people of Texas are equally iguo-
rant of other states. All that the
people of any one state know of
any other state is the tale borne on the
winds, and that is one reason for the
persistent opposition Of THE GAZETTE to
the lease law, which, in its very exist
ence, perpetuated the popular idea OF
Texas, viz: that it is grazing state
only. People cannot conceive that a
land adapted to agricultural pursuits
would be given over by law to cattle
ranches for any period, definite or in
definite, and much of the effort to con-
vince the popular mind OF the agricul-
turaI adaptability of this state has been
neutraIized by the lease law, which, to
the popular apprehension was a legal
notice that Texas was suited only
TO calf-raising this same popu-
lar mind makes no distinction between
East, West. North and Central Texas,
and is as ignorant of the size of Texas as
it is of the fact that this is the greatest
agricultural state in the Union.
The old Biographies and aliases repre-
scented the greater part OF Texas 70 be an
" American desert, - and West Texas is
so represented in school books used in
other states to-day, and the blessed
statesmen of Texas, in their superior
wisdom, have lent Confederation to the
misleading by enactment of q lease law
at the instigation of men who desired to
perpetuate cattle raising at the expense
of the settlement of the state.
Texas is a great state, but it would not
be If many of its own people could have
their way.

In 1889 Fort Worth has more banking
capital than Dallas, is greater railroad
center, shows greater percentage of in
crease in trade, has finer streets and
more of them, has a superior water sup
ply, has a greater wholesale and retail
trade, has very nearly an equal milling
capacity, and a population not oue-sev-
enth that of Dallas, but ee-fourths
that of Dallas.
In 1876, there was no rivalry; in 1889,
Dallas deems it essential to circulate
false statements concerning the growth
of Fort Worth.
in 1876 if Dallas had been populated by
Fort Worth men there would never have
been any Fort Worth to rest as a night
mare on Dallas dreams.
In 1889, Fort Worth is travelling in the
right direction, its bank clearances at
test an so per cent. increase over the
trade of 1888, it is steadily building fine
storehouses and residences and acquiring
manufacturing enterprises, its popula-
ton daily grows, its capital is cons family
augmented and Its people are flushed with
victory. Fort Worth is confident and
hopeful; how Is it with Dallas?

Texas is rich in hOg-producing food. The Pc

made, Texas can convert him into pork IS
cheaply as any other state in the Union. It re-
qUires six pounds of corn to make one pound o.
pork, and this corn can be had in Texas at -
