If the people who exhibit such an
impatient desire TO settle upon the
great Sioux reservation were sensible,
they would abide the time when the
land will be authoritively opened for
settlement. The efforts to obtain th g
of the provisions of the bill, have been
greatly hampered in the past by the
actions Of land sharks, locators and
kindred fakirs, in crowding upon the
reservation before they had any author
ity to do so, thereby arousing the anger
of the Indians and making them hostile
to the measure.

THE final decision of the United
States supreme court in the Hill-Terry-
Sharon controversy removes from the
courts one of the most scandalous
cases of our day. Born in iniquity,
nursed in forgery, and championed by
the murderer of Broderick, the case
presented all the phases of human de-
pravity and greed, matrimonial eli
makes and revolver arguments. The
contest hurried Sharon to his grave
and gave Terry a wife worthy of his
reputation.

people OF that portion OF the Dominion
would favor annexation to the United
States, but their voice In the matter
would not determine the question, and
il is not ut all probable that the Do
minion government would consent to
lose this territory. Without such con-
sent the British government could
hardly be induced to consider the most
tempting offer the United States could
make to secure British Columbia. II
there is no other way, therefore, OF
remedying the difficulties from Cana
dian competition which are the sources
OF complaint, these are likely to con-
tinue indefinitely. Even were there
no obstacles in the way from Canadian
objection to parting with any OF its ter
ritory, the general sentiment OF this
country would be opposed to the acqui-
sition at any great cost. The subject
OF our Canadian relations undoubtedly
has, as our San Francisco contemporary
remarks, "larger dimensions than the
regulation of tea treights, shut 1t will
hardly be expanded so as to embrace
the proposition to purchase and annex
British Columbia, at any rate not at
present.

The proposition that the council shall
refund to the board OF education the
amount 1t has advanced toward the con-
struc tion Of the city hall, is not likely
to meet with public approval. The peo-
pie have decreed that the board of edu-
cation shall occupy quarters in the city
hall building. The prime object Of
locating the board in the city hall
building was to save the paying of rent
and get rooms and Offices near the pub
lie library, and in fire-proof building.
II the rooms set apart for the
board are to be abandoned. the
board will expend several thousand
dollars year for other Offices, and the
city will simply have vacant rooms on
its hands. There will be ample room
in the new building .or all city officers
