Office. and two other gentlemen started
out on the reservation Monday last for

party did not return in time and by Sat-
turday evening considerable anxiety
was felt in this city for their welfare, as
the governor had several important
business engagements at the capital,
and it was thought that some accident
had befallen the party. The surmise
proved true. as Sunday evening the four
gentlemen arrived at Fort Pierre, across

having had no food since Friday. The
party started home Friday evening after
breakfasting at rancher's about fifty
miles northwest of here. They soon
discovered they were lost, and from that
time until Sunday noon they drove aim
lessly about the prairie. Saturday aft
ernoon their team gave out, and they
laid down in the hot sun and slept until
evening, when they again started out to
find the trail. Sunday noon a cowboy
came across them and conducted them
to Fort Pierre.

CALHoUN'S DOCTRINE.

Let the Truth BE Told If it Burst the
Bottom Out of the UDiverse---White
Sovereignty an Absolute Necessity.
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 13.-~-Judge Cal
houn, president of the constitutional
convention, spoke two hours in support
of his electoral college plank. 1t was a
law of divine ordination, he said, that
the white race cannot tolerate divided
severeignty--"lett the truth be told if it
burst the bottom out of the universe.
The speaker did not share the apprehen-
sion of those who thought that any
change of the constitution that would
have the effect of depriying great
number of negroes of the right, to vote
would involve the state in conflict
with congress. But, continued he, IF
the worst comes to the worst and we
lose some of our representation in con-
gress we can stand it, if allowed to man
age our local and state affairs undis-
turbed." The speaker then made an
elaborate constitutional argument to
prove the plan he favored was repub-
ican in form. (The plan divides the
state into thirteen gerrymandered dis
tricts, eight of which will have white
majorities).

REclPRocRTY is SAFE.

A Canvass of the House Shows an Over
wheiming Majority in Favor of the
Amendment.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-The Press
publishes interviews with 139 members
of the house on the subject of recip.
rocity. The result shows a reciprocity
amendment to the tariff bill would pass
the house to-day by an overwhelming
majority.
In reviewing the forecast The Press
says: The amendment already passed
by the senate has many supporters in
the house and only very small minor
ity openly oppose it. A few are unde-
cided. The Democrats, who almost
unitedly praised Blaine's reciprocity
plan when they believed it would
create wide breach in the Republican
party, mostly still favor it for the sake
OF consistency.
Their Guns Are Spiked
The situation is a remarkably trying
one for them. Speaker Reed and Chair
man Mckinley, and Mr.. Bayne, of the
ways and means committee, who will
represent the house in the conference
committee, naturally do not wish to go
on record in the press before haLd. It
is an open secret in Washington, how
ever. that all of them are opposed to the
reciprocity amendment. They rejected
it five months ago when Secretary
Blaine first urged its incorporation in
the ia riff bill, and they still speak
lightly of it.
But of the 101 other Republicans in
terviewed only avowed themselves
antagonistic to reciprocity; 80 Demo-
Gratis favor it. while only z oppose It, B
of whom voiced their convictions in op-
position to any movement in that direc-
tion short of universal reciprocity or
absolute free trade. The multiplicity
of plans proposed for the Inauguration
of reciprocal relations with American
nations, and the lack of time and oppor-
tunity to digest the propositions con-
tanned in them led twelve Republicans
out of the total number to express
doubts, in general way as to the prac-
ticability of the measure. These Re-
publicans with three Democrats are
open to conviction, their doubts being
largely the result of lack of opportunity
to acquire information or founded upon
the unpleasant experiences in the past
with one-sided Canadian reciprocal al
liances s.

SETTLERS WIN THE SUIT.
OWNERSHIP OF VALUABLE TIM
BER LANDS DECIDED. ,

Verdict Giving Important Grants to the
wisconsin Central overruIed 80 Over
100000 Acres Thus Added to the Pub
lie Domain.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 16.--Judge
Bum, of the United States court here,
handed down opinions written by JUS
tice Harlan, of the United States su-
preme court, on several important cases,
all bearing on the same question, how
ever, which Judges Harlan and Bum,
sitting as United States circuit judgca,
have argued here last June The are
in the nature of test, but indirectly
involve the ownership of 1000 acres
of land, valued, with the pine timber
upon it, and that cut off, but which will
have to be paid for if one of the parties
loses, at about 80, ,0O0,0 900.
How the Question Arose.
Twenty-Five thousand acres lie within
the place" limits of the Wisconsin Cen
trail and the indemnity of the so-called
Omaha grant. Some time ago the ques-
tion arose as to which company owned
them, and the secretary of the interior
sheld that the lands belonged to neither
company, but reverted o the govern
ment. They were accordingly thrown
open to pre-enIption and settlement
Many settlers took nominal possession of
them, though they have been unable to
obtain patents.
Disposed of the Land.
The Central company has all along
maintained that it owned the lands, and
it was accordingly disposed of, nearly
all of them to various parties. In order
to give a clear title to the purchasers il
brought test suits to oust E. A. Berkin
ID. J. Lentz and William o. Forsyth,
settlers, each Of whom pre-empted four
teen acres of the land last June The
cases were tried, and in order to get
them before the court in the most ad-
vantageous manner jury was empan-
eled, which returned verdict that the
lands properly belonged to the Central,
thus deciding against the pre-emptors.
This verdict Justice Harlan now over
rules, which is great
victory for the Pre-Emptors.
When the jury in June gave its verdict
the settlers at once brought suit in
equity to determine their rights, and to
settle the question. The Central at that
time promptly demurred to the billing
in the case, but now Justice Harlan
overrules this demurrer, gives the rail-
way. company forty days III which to
file an answer to the bill and issues an
injunction restraining the company from
further annoying the settlers with eject
ments. The case will undoubtedly be
appealed to the United States supreme
court, but the settlers are now decid-
edly ahead in the great legal battle.

Fourth of July.

If the citizens Of this city have a
desire to commemorate the Fourth
Of July in some public manner, it is
time preliminary steps we're taken
for that purpose AS has been said
in years past, there are important
considerations why the anniversary
of our national independence ought
not to be allowed to pass without
some suitable observance. The
character of the exercises most pro
ftable and enjoyable is for patriotic
and intelligent citizens to deter
mine. One exercise the most com
mon during the past hundred years
has been that important factor, the
grafton. In this it has usually
been the practice to call to mind
some of the striking events in the
American Revolution. The heroic
achievements Of our forefathers, the
sufferings, trials and privations of
the soldiery during d seven years
war; these have often been told, but
should not be allowed to become old
stories too tame to be repeated, but
should be rehearsed SO that every
school boy and girl shall know
something Of that critical period in
our history. When the story Of the
American Revolution becomes too
old to have mention on the anniver-
sary day of the Republic, the Ma
ton life will grow sickly and con
sumptive. Where the chief element
in celebrating the nation 5 indepen-
dence consists in an abundance Of
explosives, loud talking melted by
artificial stimulants, and much else
of a like kind-these all never yet
helped a boy to become an intelli-
gent man, nor a full grown man, to
become a wiser and better citizen.
II there must be noise on Independ-
cnce day, let it be the loud voiced
cannon. whose roar is historic.

w ashington Letter.

Senator Plumb and all the rest OF
the silver Senators are very much
elated over taeir success i'll amend
ing and passing the House silver
bill in a manner which makes ii pro
vide for the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver by the substantial vote
of AZ to 25. Senator Wolcott, of
Colorado, made the last speech in
favor Of free coinage, which, oy the
way, was his maiden effort in the
Senate, and thereby placed himself
at once in the front rank Of Sena-
torial orators. This action by the
Senate surprised many people, but
not your correspondent, who pre-
dicted it in your columns many
months ago. The bill as amended
and passed by the Senate is now
upon Speaker Reeds table and its
disposal of by the House is going to
be ''mighty interesting to lots Of
folks, and some fine parliamentary
work is likely to be exhibited for
the edifcation of those sufficiently
posted to enjoy it. If the House
concurs in the Senate amendments,
there is no certainty that the Pres
ident will sign it, on the contrary,
it is very probable that he would
veto it, There is q conservative
element in the House which will at
tempt to have q conference ordered
on the amendments If that IS sue
cessful some sort Of compromise
favorable to silver, but not quite ia
the extent of authorizing free coin
age, will probably be the result. Ii
vote on the amendments is forced
in the House they will be concurred
in.
The Mckinley tariff bill has been
reported to the Senate, but it will
not be called up until Monday, the
30th inst. The radical changes
which our Democratic friends have
been predicting have not been
made. There are changes, OF
course, quite a number Of them, but
they are unimportant and do not in
the slightest degree affect the char
acter of the bill, which will become
law substantially as it passed the
/ House. This has been said before
in these columns, but it is import
| ant enough to repeat.
