EVEN THE most foolhardy and impracti-
cable will not contend that it would be
either feasible or wise to attempt to pave.
at this time, any but East Temple street
and perhaps First and Second South for a
block either way from the thoroughfare
aforementioned. To do more than that
would be foolish and extravagant. Two or
three years hence other streets may be
built up enough to justify the expenditure
for pavements. 1t will hardly be argued
the city generally should pay for paving
East Temple street, along which the front
age commands from s., 900 to $1,000 foot.
That street, above all others, should paw
for its own pavement, and it ought not to
require any law to make the Improvement.
The council will grant the privilege to the
property owners to lay any good pave
ment, and will not restrict them as to cost.
If these owners want the pave
ment, they can have it; if they
do not want it, that is to say, if the
majority Of them do not want it, what
right have others to compel them to make
the Improvement? We hear it said that
nine-tenths of the owners of frontage on
East Temple between South Temple and
Third South are eager for pavement, and
will cheerfully pay the cost; if this is true,
the others will not interpose serious obiec-
ton, and that street can be paved with
any kind of material up to gold, that the
landowners are willing to pay for.

WE PRESUME that it is absolutely neces-
sary to maintain the strictest kind of dis
cipline at the government military and
naval academies at West Point and An
napolis; at the same time, the fact should
be recognized that boys will be boys in
spite of rigid rules adopted to make them
something else. There is a case at the
naval academy which is exciting some at
tention. Cadet JENKINS, last January.
while on the way to recitation, left his
squad to ascertain what marks he had
made at an examination. The breach of
discipline was reported by Cadet PAKER.
who was in charge of the squad. There is
a rule among the cadets that one classman
shall not report another, hence JENKINS
challenged PARKER and in fair, stand-up
fist fight the latter was whipped, as every
student in the land will say he should have
been. A court of inquiry was instituted
and it has recommended the dismissal of
JENKINS, the report being now in the hands
of the secretary of the navy. The popular
verdict will be in favor of JENKINS. His
act may have been a violation of discipline.
but did it not show that he possessed the
right kind of spirit for an officer?

TWENTY SEVEN years ago Michigan man
who was either afraid or couldn't afford to
serve his country procured substitute to
whom he paid 1000. Now this patriotic
Michigander goes to Congress with peti-
ton for the refunding Of his thousand dol
lars and the payment of interest on the
same for twenty-seven years. It is OBJ
served that there are newspapers, and
some Of them are Republican, that are op-
posed to the allowance of the claim. Let
US be fair and recognize the equities in the
case. The substitute gets pension, and
why not pay his employer for the money
he spent to induce the substitute to enter
the service2 TANNER, when he was COM
missioner of pensions, and Assistant Sec
rotary BUssEy, made many rulings no more
inconsistent than would be one to give back
the Michigan mans money.

oppressively taxed, so expensive is the

governor and secretary, its judges, its leg

What does all this teachs The lesson is
not creditable one to the nation. 1t
teaches that the territorial system is all
wrong, that it is wrong in theory and in
practice, in conception and operation, and
Is so wrong that men are willing to burden
themselves with almost unbearable loads
IN order to escape it. If the system
were what it should be, what was
intended, there would be less eagerness to
escape it, for people are not keen to put
unnecessary weights upon themselves.

IT is said that England having quietly
investigated the matter, comedies the
United States claim TO sovereignty over
Behring sea, but inasrnuch as this govern
ment did not issue timely warning to
poachers, damages will be asked for the
British sealers seized by America. When
Russia ceded her rights to the land and
waters Of Alaska to this country, the
United States asserted sovereignty over
Behrlng sea, and has never intimated so
much as thought of relinquishing it.,
which would seem to be sufficient warning
to everybody of intelligence 1t is hardly
probable that the English poachers
who were captured in American waters
will receive any damages.

MORE EXTRAORDINARY TAXATION.

The Republican majority in Congress
now proposes to tax the poor people Of this
country few more millions in order that
The money may be poured into the pockets
Df rich monopolists. At present no tin
plate is manufactured in this country,
though in the interest of so called ''protec-
ton" of American labor an excessive tariff
duty, aggregating 100000 annually, is
collected from those who use tin. Every
body uses the article, and the poor use it
most in proportion to their money. In one
city alone, Baltimore, there is $4,000, 900
capital invested in the canning business,
and 120,000,000 tin cans are turned out
every year for the use of the fruit-grow-
ers, the oystermen and the farmers there
abouts, fully 20, 600 hands being employed
in the industry. Then think of the i'm
mense meat canning establishments of
the west, the fruit canning concerns scat
tered over the country, and the various
other industries requiring tin. Notwith-
standing tin plate is not man
ufactured here, although there is a
protective duty amounting to $4,000, 900,
it is now proposed to increase the
duty 125 per cent. thus putting an unneces-
sary tax of nearly S14 600 upon the peo-
pie for using an absolutely necessary arti-
Gle. Why this increase. Because a
syndicate of capitalists has been formed
for the purpose of manufacturing the tin
plate that is used in the United States,
and that syndicate proposes to pocket, in
the form of a subsidy, the greater portion
OF the 81, 100000 tax.
1t cannot be claimed that the imposition
of this extraordinary duty will stimulate to
any marked extent the labor industry, or
that it will provide labor for any consider
lble number of people. 1t is said that the
total of the men, women and children en-
ployed in the manufacture of tin plate for
the entire world is only $4,000, hence it
will be seen that the manufacture of all
the plate used in the United States will
not provide labor for many persons. Less
than million dollars would be paid for all
the labor that could be employed in the
business, while the people would be paying
Sl4,000,000 In excess of its actual worth
or true cost, for their tinware, and the
three-quarters of million workers of tin
plate would be grievously taxed on the raw
material.
In time the American voters, the work
ingmen, may learn what a humbug the
tariff is in so far as it processes to ''pro-
tect" American labor, and if the voters
ever become enlightened and permit them
selves to think, how completely out of sight
will they bury the party which persists in
She imposition of high taxes for the enrich
nent of the few manufacturers.

by Troops.

ROSEBUD, AGENCY, s. D. Nov. 19-When
the Indians on this and Pine Ridge agency
wake up tomorrow morning, they will find
themselves surrounded by the strongest
body of United States troops which has
been mustered in the west since the defeat
of Geronimo. 1t can be predicted that if
some unfortunate act on the part of the
soldiers does not add to the excitement of
the redskins, the threatened uprising will
never occur. 1t IS nov plain that General
Miles has not been idle during the past
week, for troops now arriving como from
most of the posts on west. Small detatch-
ments have been moving III this direction
for the last three days and the whole has
been so smoothly and quietly done that not
a word of warning has reached the In
dians. This great movement will be
known to history as a masterpiece of
strategic Indian warfare, although not a
gun may be fired during the whole trouble.
Doubtless the quick respond of the army
will entirely quiet the bucks now in such
fever over the strange "ghOst dance" 1t
would be impossible for the Indians to
mount and start out upon depreciation, for
morning will find them completely in pos
session of soldiery, so completely in fact
that not even madness will furnish them
with an excuse to go upon the wal path.

HURON, s. D., Nov. 17.-General Ruger,
commander Of the department of Dakota,

on their way to st. Paul IRON q visit to
Forts Sully, Randall and Bennett. They
report having found the indians very
quiet, and, although there is much interest
manifested regarding the coming of their
Messiah, there is no occasion for alarm.
General Ringer, speaking of the reports
from Pine Ridge agency, remarked that hat

affairs there, he hadino doubt but there ex-
listed some undue excitement among the
