6enerzl Hastings In JOhnstOWn.

The Imposing and enthusiastic recep-
tion given General Hastings and his
wife by the people of Johnstown and
vicinity on Saturday evening was q
most memorable occasion. There was
a spontsneitY and heartiness in the the
welcome extended to the General that
must have made him feel that gratitude
is after all one of the well maintained
attributes of the American people.
Many thousands Of men, women and
children gratefully g-asped bis hand
and thanked him for his patient and
heroic devotion to the stricken valley
in its sweep OF desolation and death aud
4 paper WAS formally presented 10 him,
signed by l., 900 citizens OF the city and
county, recording their profound appre-
citation Of his services.
Political machines may steal politi-
cal delegates from General Hastings
in Cambria county and even IN Johus-
town ; but the voluntary demonstration
of the people made on Saturday even
ing proves what a moekery of public
sentiment are the achievements of party
machines, and IL the Cambria delegates
respected the uRmistakabie wishes of
the people they are to represent, they
would promptly declare their purpose
10 vote for General Hastings for Coy
ernor. Every other county in the
State might offer good OF at least piaus-
ible excuse for not supporting General
Hastings, but the Cambria delegation
can't vote against him without pToYok-
ing public Reproduction at home aud
public contempt abroad.-PhIld.

TUE Washington Post, Republican
paper, in speaking of the new rules re-
ported for the government of Congress
ty the Republicans says: There is
one thing about ii 4: if rules OF the
House are adopted in the shape report
ed by the majority of the Committee,
as they probably will be, the RESPONSE
bility of these rules, for good or evil,
must rest with the Republicans. III
they osen the way TO the easier passage
of extrayagant or meretricieus legisla-
tion or are found to operate unjustly to
the rights of the minority or OF indi-
viduaI members, by shutting OF meri-
torious motions and restricting legiti-
mate discussion, 1t will be the fault OF
the Democrats il they don't make good
use Of their opportunities ana turn the
situation co their own political account.
The Republicans make the issue. All
that the Democrats can do is 20 meet II
courageously. and they ought TO meet
it uncomplsinihgly. II the Republican
side OF the chamber shall commit itself
to a serious blunder thereby, Mr..
Carlisle, Mr.. Crisp and his associates
should remember that it is long lane
which has no turning, and it is not a
long lane from one Congressional elec.
tion TO another.

Could not Enter the Reservation.

CHAMBERLAIN. s. D., Feb. IA
report was received this afternoon that
the proclamation opening the Sioux
reservation had been issued and a large
number OF prospective settlers at once
left for the west side of the river
Many have for many days had their
wagons loaded with lumber and every
thing ready TO move at a moments no
tice.
The settlers were. however, inter.
cepted bv Indian Agent Anderson with
Indian police, and return ed to the east
side of the river. M.jor Anderson,
said that, while he fully expected the
proclamation this evening or during to-
morrow, until definite and reliable in
formation was received. he could allow
none 10 enter the reservation.
For the last few days settlers have
been arriving in large Du u nbeIs, usually
with teams, and they have at once Sc
cured all the necessities for establishing
homes IN the reservation. The town is
now filed with them, and, while order
ly, they are determined not TO allow the
grass to grow under their feet when the
proclamation is once issued.
The river Is frozen over at this point
so that crossing can be safely on ice,
and the reservation lying directly west
OF the river can be reached in short or
der. The town is wide awake to>uight
and the widest and mssf exciting scenes
ever witnessed in the Northwest will
be seen here when definite news of she
issuance of the proclamation is re-
ceived. Major Anderson will have
troops on the ground TO preserve order.

Licensed Gambling IN North Dakota.

There is every reason 10 believe the
Republican National Committee in the
pres Dental campaign had dealings W "a
the Louisiana lottery and received
liberal contribution. Dudley is the at
torney OF the swindling company-for
all lotteries are more or less swiDdles-
at Washington. end its agent in North
Dakota is ex-senator Spencer OF Ala
bama, a Republican carpet bagger, who
Is managing the business at BismaTk,
the State capital, and is a bird OF the
same feather as Quay and Dudley.
The Chicago Tribune special o. Sunday
from Bismsrk saws the lottery bill will
become law despite the Governors
expected veto. The proposed lottery
will be a branch of the New Orleans
concern. The fact is The North Dakota
people are hard-up and the lottery will
give them relief in the matter OF Safe
taxation. A meeting OF the business
men of Bismsrk on Saturday indorsed
the enterprise as one that would SECURE
to the Safe a large revenue without di-
rect taxation, which will enable the
State tressurers TO meet at once all cur
rent obligations and in future relieve
the State of the necessity for heavily
bonding and borrowing" The Da>
ko;ians are up on a high mountain with
the dsyll, and are likely to dicker with
old cloven foot. OF the petitions pre-
sented to the Legislature on Saturday
1878 petitioners indorsed the lottery and
l434 opposed IL. The BismATk Tribune
says Occasional protests in response
to requests sent ont by pastors have
been received, but the bulk of the petit
! items from over the State favor the
measure. II is looked upon as pusi-
ness proposition. The moral side OF
the question receives little attention "
Altogether affairs in North Dakota are
in q bad way. One Of the legislative
remonstrants was the Mayor of Fargo,
! and the lottery company at once carried
a motion for a committee 10 inquire
into bis licensing houses OF prosIit d
/ tion and gambling in Fargo.
The lottery bill proposes to pay into
the State Treasury S105,000 annually
| during the term of the charter, and
/ SIS 600 additional fer the act. Us
privileges are confined TO the Louisiana
! lottery, And a motion TO strike out the
monopoly WAS defeated by a decided
vote.-PittSblTg Post.

THERE appears to be Republicans in
the House who can see beyond Speaker
Reeds term OF Office, and who realize
that the temporary advantage which
may be gained by his unprecedented
rulings will be more than offset by the
disaster and defeat which is almost
certain to follow. AS a consequence
there is mutiny in the ranks of the
slender majority which just now is Civ
ing the Speaker more trouble than the
socalled Democratic obstructionists.
The great hght is coming, however,
over the rules, and, as compared with
what is in prospect, the contest Of the
last week is little more than q prelim-
mary skirmish.

THE Democrats says the Boston Her
aid, stand well with the country now,
as regards their course in the present
Congress. They are sustained by all
the precedents OF practice there, In
cluding those OF the entire line OF Re-
publican Speakers. Their course is
conservative, and 1t is in the interest of
sound legislation. The Republicans
have not only substituted the unau-
thorized authority OF one man for the
power that both precedent and patriot
ism gives only to the majority Of the
peoples representatives, they have
opened the door for no end of corrupt
schemes and selfish legislation by their
act. 1t must slmoss Inevitably come
in, and the Democrats, il they contin-
ne to be wise, Will have an immense
advantage in fully fixing the response
bilIty for it on the other party.

lowing manner : "It may be quss-

in the way of rendering the minority
altoge6er powsrless to delay proceed

has rights. and they are jsst as sacred
and just as the rights of the majority.
1t is Of vast importance TO the people
that legislation in this country, and
especially partisan legislation, shall not

secure a reasonable delay in reference
to such legislation, or, indeed, in refer
ence to any other, cannot safely be

IN the Senate at Washington on
Tuesday Senator Hoar introduced bill
to prescribe, in part, the manner of the
election of members Of Congress, and
it was referred to the committee on
privileges and elections. 1t provides
that in all States OF the Union the re-
presentatives to Congress shall be elect
ed in and for the districts now pre>
scribed by law, until the apportionment
OF representatives shall be made by
Congress according to the census to be
taken in 1890, any law of such State
hereafter 10 be passed to the contrary
notwithstanding. The bill is evidently
for the object OF preventing the re.
districting of Ohio and shows plainly
the rats to which tAe Republican
party is at last reduced and the devices
to which it will resort to in its hour of
need. The bill will be passed with the
sole object In view of preventing Just
and proper appOrtionmenI of the State
of Ohio that would give the Democratic
party justice. II will be question
however, for the Courts to decide,
whether the bill is constitutional or not

feature of this eloquent exhibit, which,
the Philadelphia organ missed fer some
reason or other. The total reduction
OF the debt for tbs 20 years of Repusli-
can administration, ending with Presi>
dent ArthuI's term, IL appears from the
table. was 81, $50, 071, 925. or an average
of ss7, ,503, $50 yearly. The reduction
effected by the Democratic sdminstra-
tion, under President Cleveland, was
$40, 81, ,330sor an average of Sl35 ,204.-
3s2 yearly-which Was q little more
than double the average under the Re-
pubublican administrations which pre-
ceded it.
Now we have Republican adminis-
trstion aga II, and the reduction for
the first 10 months of that administra-
tion is 500 S32, go, or at the rate of
