tanned by the Sioux being sufficient for
each member of the tribes farm broad
enough to drive white man wild with de
light. There are occasions for depioring
the treatment accorded to the original occu-
pants and owners of the soil, but this is
not one of them. In this instance the Sioux
have been treated with consideration and
commendable generosity. Their rights, as
well as their best interest, have been
steadily held in mind, and the result is a
transaction which cannot be found fault
with by those disposed to look at things
through fair and reasonable eyes.
Negotiations looking TO this sale have
been going on since 1882. The Indians
were chary, having been swindled on more
than one occasion. The first government
commission failed to, obtain the consent OF
the Indians, and the matter has dragged
along until the other day, when the an
nouncement came that enough signatures
had been obtained, and the transfer could
now be completed. The credit for the sue
cess belongs largely to General GEORGE
CROOK, member of the commission. The
Indians respect as much as they fear
CROOK. and when he told them that 1t
would be to their advantage to sell the
land, as a rule they believed him, having
confidence in his honesty and fairness.

MAKE HASTE WITH THE WELLS.

It is good work which the authorities
have now begun in driving wells in various
parts of the city, and it is work which
should be carried forward just as rapidly
as the reasonably economic expenditure of
money will permit. Many trees and gar
dens are not past saving, and may be
restored with water, and the health OF
many weary men, women and children
may be spared by lessening their labors in
procuring the precious fluid. The people
in the favored districts who have only to
turn a tap when the cool and sparkling
water flows freely do not realize that there
are hundreds OF families who for weeks
have been carrying water for culinary uses
long distances in pals and tubs, and that
even then the supply is limited; that others
run the little stream which reaches
their premises once week into
cisterns, to be drawn off spar
ingly during the days Of scarcity;
that in scores of instances people are keep
ing favorite trees and choice shrubs and
plants alive by carrying water from wells.
Some may know, it, but all do not that
when water is gaily spreading itself in
spray over green lawns in one quarter Of
town, in another men and women are Won
dering if their withered trees and parched
sod will ever revive.
We do not call attention to these things
for the purpose of finding fault with the
municipal authorities, but we do hope the
distress which prevails will spur the OIL
Gals to quick and earnest action. 1t would
have saved many thousands of dollars to
the community if what is being done now
had been undertaken six weeks or two
months ago; that is to say. if the
efforts shall succeed and flowing wells
can be obtained in the dry dis
tricts. OF this latter we entertain very
little doubt, if there shall be intelligence,
determination and money back of the enter
prise 1t is to be hoped that the officials
will realize that now is the time to do the
work A flowing well now is worth more
than well driven next week, and is worth
more than dozen wells sunk six weeks
hence, and the bigger these wells are made
at the start the better and cheaper will it
be in the long run. THE HERALD is full of
praise for what is being done for the relief
of the afflicted people, and full of encourage
ment for doing more

THE SIOUX RESERVATION.

The purchase by the government of one
half of the Sioux reservation in South Da-
l1ota is big thing in many ways. 1t opens
to settlement and cultivation by the whites
Il. ZOO, 600 acres of choice land, lying in the
most fertile section of the state named.
The soil is a rich alluvial loan, with sub
soil of clay drift, the region being well wa
tered and the land admirably adapted TO
stock raising and the production of all the
grains and fruits of the north temperate
belt. There is enough of this newly-ac-
quired territory to provide 200 American
families with farm of 100 acres each, and
leave enough for the necessary town sites
and railroad rights of way. As good pub
lie land has come to be very scarce, it is
unnecessary to remark that the Sioux tract
will soon be taken by the home seekers who
have not yet had an opportunity to take ad-
vantage of the nations generosity in the
matter of disposing of the public land.
The opening of the reservation and the
valuable acquisition of such a large popula-
ton will at once make South Dakota one of
the foremost of the western states. 1t is
believed that not less than quarter of a
million people will be at once attracted TO
the new state, and the great majority of
them will belong to the productive classes,
and will thus prove most valuable
acquisition to the commonwealth Just enter
ing upon new duties and responsibilities
and accepting new burdens.
The sentiment which some are expressing
to the effect that the "poor Indians are
being despoiled in this transaction, is of the
sickly, fault-fnding order. The sum they
are to receive is 1900, 900, the interest on
which will amount to fully ten times as
much as the land would return under In
dian control. Only half the reservation
has been purchased, the 1l,0o0,000 acres re-

avowed enemies of such people, but would,
through the promptings of mere decency If
nothing else, seek to ameliorate and
gain their gratitude. Far from it.
They not only consented to, but assisted
in the enactment of the most Ubiquitous
and oppressive measures; they out-Heroded
HERoD in their clamors for special and
proscriptive legislation, and thus and
otherwise earned new name in the

In the Southern states, now happily as
free as any other section of the union, the
occupation and the man still go hand in
hand together in the recollection of the
people; and the carpet-bagger is a
synonym for all that is skulking in war,
dastardly in peace and infamous in politics.

IT is stated as fact that NJ. S. QUAY is
laying pipes for the Republican nomination
for the presidency in 1892. There should
be no serious opposition to this, except at
the polls. Boss QUAY did more to give the
country another four years of Republican
rule than any other man in the party and
has received no reward at all; surely they
can afford to let him make the next race,
when there is no hope of winning. Give
him the empty honor; it is better than none

Cabbage in Half an Hour.

Sallie Joy White, in Wide Awake.
For the benefit of the mothers who
may think either | or the cooking
school have gone astray on the mat
ter of cooking cabbage, / want to
emphasize here the advantage of the
new way over the old. l was as
sceptical over the notion of cabbage
being properly cooked in half an
hour, as any one of you can be; but
my first experiment corrected me,
and all who tasted this maligned
vegetable served after the new meth
cd declared themselves surprised.
Have plenty of sailed, boiling
water, in which teaspoonful of soda
has been dissolved, plunge the cab
bage in, top downward, leave it un-
covered and let it boil until tender,
that will be, as given in the time
table, from twenty minutes to half an
hour. Take it out into a .colander
drain well, put into hot dish, put
in bits Of butter, some salt and pep.
per, and serve at once. 1t will be as
delicate as cauliflower ; the color will
be retained and there will not be ar
unpleasant odor over the house, such
as is always associated with boiling
cabbage. Try it once, and then SEE
if the School Kitchen Learning has
not gotten several steps in advance
of your old, traditional methods.

Physical Training for Women.

DIR ID. A. Sargent in Scribners,
If physical training is necessary to
secure the best types of men, it is
equally important as an agent toward
securing the fullest development of
women. Furthermore, most men
are engaged in the struggle for mate
rial gains, and are obliged to confne
themselves to efforts prescribed for
them by the division of labor. The
tendencies of our civilization is to
warp, twist, and belittle men with
the stamp of their occupation. Leis-
ure for physical culture for its own
sake can only come with increase of
wealth, and this will ever be in the
possession of the minority. AT the
present time women as a class have
more leisure than men for self-im-
provement, and we must look to
them to help on the higher evolution
of mind and body, not only in per.
fecting themselves, but in helping tC
perfect Others.

Young Men and the Churches.
Chautauquan.

Chautauquau.
One of the unpleasant features Of
religious life is the lack of young
men in the churches. The evil is
not small one, and there are indica-
tons that it is growing larger; it has
certainly increased in the last thirty
years. Can the evil be removed or
at least reduced? I'VE are confident
that some things can be done to i'm
prove the situation. For one thing,
the distinct recognition of the fact
that there are too few young men in
the church should tend to better the
record. Young men have to be en-
listed as active workers. Old men
may be taken in as parlor boarders,
but young man must be set to
work or he will soon get listless. Be
sides, young men can best win
young men, and it is in such work
that the value of youthful members
is always highest. The officiary O.
too many churches has no young
blood in it. Give the young broth
rem a share in the management.

Oyster Reform.

"Fresh oysters" familiar bulle-
tin often found on sidewalks and box
lids, is more delusive than the
"befow cost" placard. 1t is safe to
say that no inland town in the coun-
try ever had fresh oysters. Unless
prevented the oyster commits suicide
as soon as taken from his bed of
ooze. When it reaches any town in
Ohio it is a cold and Shiny corpse,
and the cans and buckets in which
his remains are enclosed are nothing
more than collins and morgues. The
oyster commits suicide by open
ing his shell, and soon dies
from an overdose of pure air. Cool
temperature is all that will prevent
decay, and this is why the months
containing an "r" are the best season
of the defunct bivalve. Next year
