MUST BE OPENED,

The Washington newSgatherers are
perhaps honest in their persistence that
the Sioux opening law, which has been
made operative by the assent of the In
dams, must go back to congress to be
approved. The act is sufficiently ex-
plicit in the requirement that the presi-
dent shall make proclamation of the
fact when he is satisfied that the In
dians have complied with the provis-
ions specified for them to perfect the
law. There is no ratifying or APPROX
ing required by the president. He is
simply to announce fact when it be-
comes known to him. 1t is stated that
there was second act applying a new
mode of operation in case the Indians
did not accede to the first law. This
became applicable only in the event of
the failure of the first, and negotiations
under it we're made subject to approval
by congress. This is the explana-
ton of those most active in secur-
ing the legislation. and is the way
it is understood in Dakota. 1t is rea-
sonable and probable. The discovery
that congress must re-adopt its own
work is novel and recent. There are
no facts visible to warrant the preSump-
ton that any interest needs delay, but
the persistence with which the dilatory
condition is pressed is suspicious.
Spectators in lands or town sites are
not always scrupulous as to their
means. If the interior department
designs to find cause for delay in allow
ing settlers to go upon the lands. there
should be an authoritative announce
ment to that effect. 1t is important to
many, perhaps thousands of people, to
know whether the opening is to be
available before winter OF not till next
spring. Careful scrutiny of the act
providing for the opening will find no
room to doubt that it is the duty of the
president to issue his proclamation as
soon as the commission has assured
him that it has "won the fight"

THE THYME FACTORY.

At the time Gov. MERRIAM suggested
the establishment Of twine factory in
the Saltwater prison the GLOBE eX-
pressed an opinion that it would be i'm
practicable, and that, if it were prac-
ticable, it would not be advisable to do
so. The investigation of the subject
by the state prison board confirms the
position originally taken by the GLOBE.
In their report to the governor, the
prison managers advise against it; first,
because of the extravaganza cost OF
plant; second, because of the character
of labor required in manufacturing
Irvine, the work being chiefly done by
females; third, because of the lack OF
room in the Saltwater prison; and
fourth. because of the difficulty in OBJ
tanning supply of material. Ii the
experiment of making Irvine from flax
had been a success, and other things
being equal, the GLOBE would have adj
vocated the establishment of Irvine
factory in the state prison, not because
of any great profit that might be de-
rived from it. but because it would open
a home market for our flax producers.
In this way it would have been posi-
tive benefit to the farmers of the state.
The insurmountable difficulty, however,
is the lack of room in the state prison.
The prison managers report that they
have not the available room to locate
the shops; and, in addition to this, a
great deal more room is required for
storage. Then, too, the storing of such
a quantity of inflammable material
within the limits of the prison would
add to the danger of fire and greatly in
crease the risks to be borne by the in
Surance companies,

A SPOILT JOB.

That was a waste of dynamite on the
part of the Kentucky anarchists who
undertook to blow up newspaper
office in Lexington yesterday. Blow
ing up newspaper building or killing
an editor now and then doesn't stop the
influence of the press. People have
very contracted idea of the sphere of
newspaperdom who imagine so. The
Kentucky dynamiter doubtless felt the
sting of just criticism from the pen of
the Lexington editor. and upon the
principle that ''thief never felt the
halter draw with good opinion of the
law" he conceived the idea that he
would be setting things to rights by
blowing the editor and his newspaper
office into kingdom come. The Internal
machine didn't work, and so the job
was spoilt. But if it had worked, that
wouldn't have helped the cause of
scoundrelism. The newspapers would
have gone right ahead, just as they are
doing, exposing rascality and showing
the rascals up. Newspaper edifces
may crumble. editors may die, but the
power of the press goes on forever.

SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.

Last year the Republican state con-
yentions in Ohio and Pennsylvania, as
in other states, laid great emphasis upon
civil service reform. They resolved that
offices should have fixed tenure, and
there ought to be no removals during
the term except for adequate public
cause" and the CLEVELAND admins
tration was denounced for not carrying
out pledges in favor of civil service re-
form. That was the language in QUAY's
convention. In Ohio the party claimed
to hiv4 enacted the law, and pledged
itself to faithfully carry out its pro-
visions, and to extend it to all grades of
the public service. Conventions have
just been held in both states, and in
neither was there a word in favor of
civil service reform. In Pennsylvania
QUAY was commended for securing re-
mOVals. Those who observe will see
the difference between Republicans out
and coming in.

MRS. MAVERICKS CASE.

If there is any thing in the world that
will shake the conservatism of England
to the very foundation stones, it is SEN
sational divorce or murder case, with
pretty woman as the central figure.
That will start the clubs to talking, and
when the clubs fall into vein of loquac-
ity the power behind the throne is in
motion. Hence the excitement that
prevails in England at this time over
the MAVERICK trial. The fate of the
pretty woman is eng discussed in
every part of LONDON. Gro~, Windsor
palace and the parliament house down
to the fish markets, and everywhere
popular sympathy is on the side of the
criminal. If is safe to say that if con-
ditions had been reversed, and it had
been Mr.. MAVERICK who was convicted
of the murder of his wife, not man,
woman or child would have questioned
the righteousness of the verdict of the
jury, nor would harsh criticism have
been made upon the judge whose in
StructionS revealed so perfect a
knowledge of criminal law. AS it
is, the home office is flooded
with petitions asking reprieve for
Mrs. MAVERICK. and prominent among
the petitioners we find the American
minister. 1t is possibly commendable
trait in human nature which prompts
sympathy for the weak. though guilty !;
yet it is doubtful policy which per-
mits sentiment to prevail over law.
Notwithstanding the pressure that is
being brought to bear upon him, it is
