United States Land Commissioner Croft
has just made a very important land decis.
ion upon request of tho local land officials at
Pierre, s. D. 1t is that when Indians take
land on the late Sioux reservation, and the
survey afterward shows they are on school
section, they may hold their ella inns, but
whites cannot.
The new treasury notes to be issued on the
silver bullion are now being printed. These
notes are genuine greenbacks, and state that
the United States will pay the bearer in coin
as many dollars as the face of the note pre-
sents. The various denomination 9 contain
the vignettes OF these dead heroes of the war:
Secretary Stanton, Gen. Sheridan and Gen.
Thomas.
Commissioner Croft, in support of his re-
cent decision that the Indians who settled on
Sioux reservation land in Sou tn Dakota, which
afterwards proved to be school sections, were
entitled to the land, while white man was
not, bases the discrimination on the ground
that the Indian was entitled to go upon the
land, while the white man was prohibited I'M
til after the proclamation was issued. Ac-
cording to this decision, however, the squat
ter had no rights and lands should have to
be surveyed before settlement. The commits
sionsr may be obliged to modify his decision.
