THE REsERvArIoN QUESTION.

The commissioners for the Uintah
and Uncompahgre reservations have
been appointed by President Cleveland
notwithstanding the predictions of our
morning contemporary and its equity
| and ..sprained'' declarations that he
was neither ready nor willing to do
anything in relation to the matter.
What will the daily growler do nbw
for material to throw at the Secretary
of the Interior and an excuse for calls
for his Impeachment
1t is understood that Secretary Smith
wants the asphaltum lands put up ar
public auction. It is to be presumed
that he has some reasons for his views
which appear to him satisfactory. 1t
is not to be presumed, fairly, that his
opinions cannot be changed with fur
tner light 1t is to be expected that
the needful light will be furnished by
our vigilant Delegate, who succeeded
in obtaining the passage of the meas
ure for the opening Of the reservations
to public settlement We notice that
in the report of the Secretary of the
Interior on this very question, that
functionary offers no suggestion and
makes no objection as 20 the law He
merely refers to Governor Vests re-
port as follows:
The Governor is of the opinion that
the allotment to the Indians, in sever
atty. of certain of the lands embraced
within the Uintah and Uncompahgre
reservations. and the opening for set
tiement aud sale Of the remaining
lands. will prove of untold advantage
and wealth. to the new State He states
that it will open for settlement mix
lions of acres OF the most fertile and
perfectly watered lands. and will fur
nish homes for thousands Of young
people who need no longer enligrate to
the valleys of adjoining States for
mineral resources viii undoubtedly at
tract much attention. and, together
with the magnificent opportunities af-
forded TO the home-seeker of the over
crowded East, will be the means of
causing material increase in the pop
ulation and taxable wealth of the.
State.
That does not look as though the
Secretary was imbued with the renge-
full opposition manufactured for him
ment for the opening of the reserva-.
lions is progressing satisfactorily. and
until the commissioners now appointed
have performed their duty and have
made their report to the Secretary of
the Interior any remarks as to what
he will do in relation to the matter are
entirely premature if not as fa,se and
misleading as the outrageous attacks
upon him by the Tribune because he
did not himself perform duties which
devolved upon the President
The commissioners. S. S. Scott, of
Alabama; I. A. Byrnes. of New Jersey,
and w. L. Davis of Arkansas, are re-
quired to allot the lands of the Uncom-
pahgre Indians, and make negotiations
with the Uintah Indians for the relin-
punishment of their title on a proper
apportionment. They will no doubt
enter upon their work as soon as prac-
ticable, and a satisfactory settlement
Will be made of the matter in due time.

Reports from Utah are to the eff.
feet that the convention to frame a
state constitution has a Republican
majority. In this connection a Re
publican newspaper placidly remarks
that the convention will make legis.
lative apportionment of the state
which, OF course. will be so arranged
as to secure a Republican legislature
and two Republican United States SEN
ators' And this is from the party that
clamors more loudly than any other
against gerrymanders and which per-
petrates more than any other party,
says the Chicago Herald. The Herald
must remember that the Republican
party is the party of moral ideas, and
that when it gerrymanders it does so
for the distinct purpose of advancing
nigh morality.

{ Democracy has undertaken 20 raise
the silver flag, then nothing can be
palmer than that the Democracy has
been the friend of silver and that the
people have been opposed to it. The
Democratic defeat has been a Repub-
ican victory, and the Republicans
have been very emphatic in declaring
against silver. To say that whenever
the Democracy undertook to raise the
silver standard that it suffered and
then to claim that those who caused
this, who were the Republicans, are
friendly TO silver, is Self-contradictory
II protection and free silver are
to go hand in hand as Republican
doctrines, if the two are getting TO be
| more pronouncedly the slogan of the
Republican party. it is a very queer
thing that the discovery should only
recently have been made. The advo-
Gates Of silver have not besp silent
since the demonstration of silver in
1879, demonetized by the Republicans,
and they have never yet been able TO
get the protectionists. who are the Re
publicans to indorse or favor free
coinage. II they are so irlehdly TO Sill
yer. if there is such hope for it in their
camp, why is it that only last August
| the greatest champion of silver in the
United States, Senator John P. Jones,
renowned his allegiance to the party.
and gave as his reason that there was
no hope for silver in the Republican
paryt?
Every leading Republican paper Of
the East considered the recent cleo
tons rs having given d quietus to the
silver agita ton. They are mistaken, it
is true, but their utterances show that
the Republican party is not the party
friendly TO silver.

Any paper that persists in pretend
ing That the disasters which the coun-
try has suffered for years and which
received their eliminating force in
1893, were due to the return TO power
OF the Democratic party is as utterly
lost to shame as Benjamin Harrison
and other Republican politicians who
utter the palpable absurdity echoed
approvingly by our morning contem-
porary. 1t answered a purpose during
the late campaign, but its falseheod
and foolery are beginning TO be per-
ceived by the dullest mind in the ranks
of the multitude, who were led away
by it before they had time to think
the matter out. That effects follow and
do not precede causes is so evident
that no argument is needed to make it
clear beyond contradiction.

The first American story from the
pen of Rudyard Kipling has a place in
the December number of the Century.
1t is called "A Walking Delegate -
and it covers almost every phase of
the labor question as discussed by the
professional agitator. A number of
horses are turned out in a Vermont pas
ture, and tc them comes a raw-boned
Kansas horse, who urges them to
stand up for the rights of universal
horsehood. and to resist the oppressor,
man. Under this guise the labor ques-
ton is dealt with in an ingenious and
interesting manner, and the story will
arouse great attention throughout the
country.
