The Sioux Reservation.

The stirring scenes at the Chevrnne River
Agency, in South Dakota, described in the
recent dispatches, do not indicate that the
commissioners of the government are pro-
crossing as fayorably rs could be wished In
making the treaty whereby the great Sioux
Reservation may be thrown open to settle
ment. To the people Of South Dakota the>r
negotiations are of transcendent Importance
and the magnitude of the interests involved
is such as TO commend the proceedings t.
the attention of.tbe whole country. Speaking
In general terms, the Missouri River may be-
said to run north and south through the
State of South Dakota, cutting 1t into an
eastern and western half. At the North
Dakota line the course of the river Is almost
exactly in the middle of the State, and this
position continues until not far from the
Nebraska line, when it take, rather an alb.
rupt turn to the eastward. This leaves
rather more than half OF South Dakota west
of the Missouri River. East OF the river are
populous and fourishng counties with rail-
roads running in from Iowa. But all these
railroads stop at the river. In the extreme
western part of the State in the Black Hills
region are fourishing counties, but the rail-
roads have made no effort to push across TO
them. One part of the State is isolated from
the other completely as far as direct commu-
hicaton is concerned The delegates from
the Southwestern counties 10 the Sioux
Falls convention had to travel II thousand
miles by roundabout way through Ne
braska The reason of this troublesome,
costly and retarding lack of communications
Is the very condition of things which the In
dian commissioners are trying to do away
with. Along the western bank of the Mis-
souri, river stretches the great Sioux reserya-
ton, OF which the effort Is now making to
throw open to settlement eleven million
acres. This reservation cuts the State of
South Dakota into two sections ana furbids
communication between the parts. Besides
standing in the way these reservation lands
are very rich; and extensive preparations
have been made to occupy them SO soon as the
Indians agree to treaty and the President
prOclaims the lands open to settlement. The
government has been trying for seven years
to get these lands open; but the Sioux, who
are very able Indians, have withheld their
consent. The present effort is made under
the dawes BILL" which contemplates the
settlement Of Indians upon smaller tracts
held under system of individual owner
ship. The superfiuous lands thus left are to
be bought by the government, the money GO
ing to the benefit of the Indians ia their new
relations as owners of homesteads. Should

the Indians accept the terms now offered
them. they would receive about sixteen mil
lions of dollars and retain about half of their
reservation. But glttering as are these
terms, the Indians are slow to accept Last
year the Indian orators fairly outtsked the
congressman, clergyman and the school
teacher composing the commission. and de-
feated the object of their endeavors. This
year the commission includes General Crook,
who understands the Sioux thoroughly; and
moreover, is able to offer better terms. But
the Indians are still hanging off with bar
barrie perversity. Their orators would DC
safer guides If they had more sense ana less

The decision of the Dakota constitutional
convention in favor Of an elective judiciary
instead Of one appointed by the executive OF
the State is one the wisdom of which may
well be doubted To be sure in many Of the
old States the custom has been aud is now to
elect judges by popular vote, and as a rule
this practice has not produced any. or at
least many, very bad results. But experience
has shown that selection of the judges by
the executives on the whole the better plan.
In popular election there is danger that
many considerations may creep In and affect
the selection which are entirely out Of place
This danger is not entirely done away with

There is room for suspicion that such ste
ries may be exaggerated by spectators for
their own purposes. II they are true, then
the United States will have no trouble in
disposing Of her superfluous wheat crop at a
good round figure. This will be pleasing
news to the producers, but the consumers
will regard it less pleasurably. A big for

into the consumption OF every family In the

treatment, to medical college where there were
some twenty or thirty doctors assembled but the

THE DEAD OFFICER,

In speaking of the deceased policeman his

have followed Bush wherever he had gone
until either he captured him or some one was

discussed the political situation and promised
Sergeant Connolly silk hat if Gen. Malone
was elected. The deceased has brother who

MORE STRINGENT LAW FOR PISTOL CARRIERS
NEEDED.
"This affair."" said Sergeant Connolly to a
STAR reporter, demonstrates the necessity of
a more stringent law against the carrying Of
weapons by these roughs. Almost every one
of them goes armed AMI is ready to shoot down
policeman whenever he attempts to arrest
them. Filming them $50 or three months does
no good, because at the end of the three months
they are set at liberty, and instead of being
better they are worse and are only more des-
perate."

Why Washington is the Place.

From the Aberdeen (South Dakota Republican.
The Republican has received circulars and
letters from different committees wishing it to
advocate their city for the worlds fair. The
Republican is in favor of Washington city, the
capital city of the United States, as the proper
place to hold this worlds exhibition believing
it is better situated to hold the exhibition in
owing to its national Character its wide streets,
its large and beautiful parks. its large number
Of hotels, boarding and eating houses and be-
sides the government should put up the cash
to hold this exhibition and not the people of
any city, and the buildings and grounds should
be kept at the national capital forever after
ward for an exhibition building of the indus
tries and arts of theworld. II the individuals of
any city should put up the money they would
charge exorbitant rates to visitors for their
wants and necessities while viewing the worlds
exhibition. So let Congress appropriate
5000, 600 and purchase the ground, build the
buildings, and in the capital city the United
States government will have another grand
national building and grounds that every tax
payer in its borders will have an interest in,
and it will be one of the most attractive sights
at our capital. The Republican is for Washing
ton city and for the national government max
ing an appropriation for it, and not giving this
exposition to any particular city to enrich it
and Cypress the visitors.

Why Flowers Sleep.

From the Jewish Messenger.
That flowers sleep is evident to the most
casual observer. The beautiful daisy opens at
sunrise and closes at sunset, whence its name,
days eye." The morning glory opens lis
flower with the day. The "John-go-to-bed-at-
noon" awakes at in the morning, but closes
its eyes in the middle Of the day. and the dam
delion is in full bloom only during the hours Of
strong light. This habit Of some flowers is GER
tainly very curious, and furnishes one of the
many instances which prove the singular
adaptability Of everything in nature. The rea-
son is found in the method by which this class
of flowers is fertilzed. 1t is obvious saws Sir
John Lubbock, that flowers which are fortified
by night-fying insects would derive no advan-
tage from being open by day; and, on the other
hand. that those which are fortified by bees
would gain nothing by being open at night
Nay. it would be a disadvantage. because il
would render them liable to be robbed of their
honey and pollen by insects which are in
capable of fertilizing them. 1t is possible.
then. that the closing Of flowers may have ref
erence to the habits of insects. and il NAV be
observed, also. in support OF this that wind-fer-
tiliZed flowers never Sleep
