A Good Record.

SO far in the history of Iron River
this village has never had 10 raise n
dollar by tax, the licenses from saloons
having heen more than sufficient {,
meet all necessary expen seq. OF
course the village is in debt, occasoncd
by pntiing in an excellent system OF
waite, works and by grading and huild,
ing one of the finest Main Streets in
the upper peninsula. Our indebted
ness. however, is so arranged that with
anything ike good times for several
wears will be enabled to meet every
obligation as fast rs it comes due with
out having to resort to taxation. Can
any other village in the peninsula
show rs economical state of affiirs p
Iron River Reporter.
Yes, L'Anse has just as good a
record in this respect as Iron River.
Since the present liquor tax law went
into effect thirteen years ago no vii
lage tax has been levie |, and until our
water system was put in last year the
village had not dollars Indebtedness
of any kind.

&c. Columbus second. while Barlow
Wallace had to soace himself for his
poor playing with the gents BOBBY.

CONCERNING THE RESERVA-
TTON

The article published in recent is
sue of the SENTINEL seems to have
struck responsive cord among the
people of the county, and it is not un-
likely that steps will soon be taken
to have this barrier to our future
prosperity removed.
So far as we have been able to ascer-
tain it is almost the unanimous desire
among both white men and Indians to
have the reservation disposed OF so
that the lands may become available
and benefit each. We learn, however,
that there is an erroneous impre ssion
among the Indians that Rhe heads of
families are entitled to an S0-acre tract
in addition to the allotment. That
this is not the case the following letter
from the acting Commissioners to
resident of the county will plainly
show:
"In reply to your communication
dated April 13, 1892, asking for GER
tain information regarding the rights
of Indians OH the L'Anse and Vieux
de Sert reservation, 1 have to advise
you that any Indian properly qualified
under the treaty oi September 30, 1854,
can select 80 acres OF vacant land on
the reservation, He will be protected
in his selection provide d he first makes
settlement upon the land or makes
improvements thereon, or, if his APP
plication is approved by the chiefs or
headsmen, and has the same recorded
or gives notice, so that another Indian
may not make improvements upon the
tract selected in ignorance of the form
application. Under the Act of Febru-
airy 8, 1887, as amended by the Act of
February %, 1891, the head of fam
lily is entitled to only 80 acres MS is
each other member of the tribe.
There is about 10000 acres of unal-
lotted lands in the resery ition."

We have it from reliable authority
that there is to be considerable explor-
alton work done with diamond drill,
the coming season, in the vicinity of
the Silver River Slate Co.'S property
east of L'Anse. Who the parties in
terested are, and what they intend to
explore for, is not stated, but it is
known that some Of the ground on
the Silver River property is pretty
rich in silver it is not at all improbable
that the prospecting is being done
with the expectation of finding that
metal in paying quantities.

THE Hon. Horace Boies has positive
ly declined to become the candidate OF
his party for governor for third term.
There are good and sufficient reason
why he should so decline. While the
governor has been twice elected, the
second time by an increased majority,
it is by no means certain that he could
be elected again. Mr.. BoieS has expert
enced an uncommon era of popularity
in the state. The triumph has been for
BOies rather than democracy. The
four years of his supremacy has dem
onstrated nothing admirable in his
character, nor has he championed any
great or noble principle calculated to
make his popularity abiding. Indeed
the query is in many minds as to what
put him on the tide of popular favor.
There can be but one answer, and that
is his fearless championship of the
divine" right of the saloon and the
saloon keeper. This characteristic can
win for no man the lasting respect of
any people, and it will not be surprising
if the present year SHOWS reversal of
public sentiment on this question. 1t
is also true that no other man in Iowa
can lead the democracy as Mr.. BOies
has done through two campaigns. His
peculiar personality added strength to
the ticket. Another source of weak.
ness is the distribution of government
patronage, and while for the past -four
years the democrats have been fighting
in unison, there will be disc0rd from
this on, as there always is with the par
ty in power Mr.. Boies has the saga
city to see these things, and has also
the discretion to retire with his record
of two elections umarred by a defeat
| for third term.
