THE SIOUX RESERVATION.

THE SIoOA hESEfSt AIION.
The New York Tribune anticipates
somewhat similar rush to the Sioux
lands in Dakota to that in Oklahoma.
There is apparently little doubt that the
Dakota lands average better than those
in the Indian territory region, for which
there seems strange infatuation. There
is much less undesirable land. If there
are advantages in favor of the south
region not possessed by the Sioux lands,
they have not been made public. Still,
there will be no disorderly crowding
when the latter are opened up three or
four months later. There are 100000
acres, more than four-ffths probably
tillable land. and good for settlers to
convert into farms. This will cut up
into good many quarter sections, and
it will be a pretty safe prophecy that
there will be some thousand Disguised
Oklahomers on hand about that time.
HARRISONIAN INGRATITUDE.
Gen. GRANT always stood by the men
;r"ho had stood by him. whatever the
popular ciiaa;mnr. Col. DUDLEY has been
standing about calling 'Alr. President"
without recognition till he has become
weary, and gives it out cold that 1.-THE
president is too cowardly to be seen
consulting with me-" The colonel also
adds: He seems entirely oblivious
that it was through my efforts that
Indiana was saved to him." The presi-
dent knows that it was to the tinan-
cial schemes of DUDLEY and his
cO-workers that his election was due,
and he had no hesitancy in accepting
the results of their efforts. The Deity
is reputed to love the sinner and hate
his sin. The HARRISON mind seems to
reverse this. There would be suggeS-
ton of manlineSs in public and explicit
condemnation of their practices rather
than an ungrateful ignoring of the men.
THE New York World is duplicating
the journey of WASHINGTON from
Mount Vernon to New York hundred
years ago, with corps of reporters and
sketchers. They travel by the same
kind of coach, over the same roads,
making the same stops for eating, drink
ing and sleeping, and, as near as pos
Reports of their daily progress revive
the old story in very realistic way. If
they could have secured HARRISON to
go along to personate WASHINGTON in
a small way, it would add to the COM
pleteness of the thing. But he prefers
to take only the luxurious accommoda-
lions by water and rail.

THE spirit cOmmuners at Flndlay, o.,
have been holding seanceS with Spies,
the Chicago anarchist who was hung.
He has learned sense by having his
neck broken, as no doubt is the case
quite generally. He sends word to his
Chicago friends to abandon their absurd
notions and become law-abiding cit
liens. He has learned that he acted the
fool, but he refuses to be interviewed in
regard to NINA, the proxy wife, and
didn't have word to send to her.
BoULANGER follows in good many
illustrious footsteps in going over the
channel to abide with the English peO-
pie for a time. The men of destiny,
and occasionally women, have often had
opportunities to study the impetuous
French temper and ways from alien
observatories. 1t looks somewhat as
though the republican rule were to break
all the records and settle down into a
steady thing. BoULANGER's destiny is
not good thing to bet on.
In SPEAKING of the shutting down of
so many of the manufacturing enter
prlses in the East, the Philadelphia
Times thinks the situation is somewhat
alarming for the institutions that use
much foreign-grown raw material. The
only hope for them, it insists, is in
cheapness of product, which can only
be attained by free raw materials and
the release of the common necessaries
of life from the burdens of taxation.
THERE was evidently lack of
courtesy or considerateness, somewhere,
in not apprising the president that the
New York postmaster was to die so OPP
portunely. The president then might
have reappointed him as Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND did, and made large claims as
civil service reformer. He dropped off
before he could turn the Office over to
HARRISON'S man.
EVENTS OF THE DAY.
The Harrison Hoodo" seems to have been
revived of late Murat Halstead is very i'll,
as is also Minister to Denmark Enander.
The son of Thomas Ryan. Minister to Mex
leo, has been arrested for forgery, and Rus
sci Harrison himself is undergoing the un-
pleasant ordeal of heavy libel suit.
The reports of gold discoveries near Ouray,
Col, have been verified. Individuals and
companies have purchased claims for few
thousand dollars and in less than week
have taken out ore worth three times what
they paid. The minels are keeping their
success as secret as possible.
