Secretary Hoke Smith has rendered
his decision in the Yankton reservation
contest, and the state OF South Dakota
has lost. This we believe is right. The
DAILY LEADER has taken this position
in the matter from>the start both on the
question of law and as a matter OF abso-
Lutte right and justice. Neither the
United States nor the state OF South
Dakota can afford to violate a treaty
obligation or inflict a moral wrong upon
defenceless wards Of the nation for the
small ~pecuniary benefit that would arise
to our posterity. Neither, if by the
technicality Of law the advantage lay
with the state which We could not see
that it did, would the state have been
justified in thus u%rsuping the rights of
either the Indian wards or the common
people, and it is surprising to us that
Commissioner Lockhart, with his native
honesty, could not have SO seen this be-
fore making the extravaganza claims he
did. His zeal to do something advanta-
geous for the state, we presume, got the
better of his judgment, and leaning up
on the doubtful authority ora clause
injected into an Indian appropriation
bill to overthrow the moral and legal
weight Of a previous enactment Of con-
gress and a binding contract partly exc
cuted, he entered upon this contest with
the CONNER people. We believe the de-
cision OF the secretary Of the interior is
right in law and righteous in principle
and ought to stand, 1t will be much
more to the benefit of this people In flu
lure generations that the people now
protect themselves from the encroach
ments of the state even though it should
be a little poorer thereby than Thai the
state should become rich and overween.
ing at the expense Of the people. In re-
gard to the two laws conflicting in this
case the secretary Gays: "Where two
statutes cover, in whole or in part, the
same matter and are not absolutely ir
reconcilable and no purpose to repea.
the earlier act ia expressed or easily in
dicated, the court will, if possible, give
effect to both" In this case the last ac'
OF congress on which the state commits
sioner relied, not specifically repeating
the former law and treaty, the latter
stands and the treaty must be given it,
full force and effect and that this lane
must be thrown open to bona tide set
tiers. The state land commissioner viii
no doubt appeal to the federal courts
but the president will at once issue his
lands open to settlers.

POLITICAL POINTS.

We sympathize with Capt. Edward Reese.
He made a gallant fight, but the tide flowed
too strongly for him.
1t is rather humiliating to see the governor
of a great Commonwealth being used to pull
chcstnuts out of the fire for q politician of
the grade of Lobbyist Martin.
If all the claims made by the anti-Quay
combine organs are as accurate as those made
for Schuylkill county the junior Senator will
be elected chairman of the State Committee
by an overwhelming majority.
Judging from recent developments. the
Almshouse needs men of business to direct
its affairs and we hope the Republican county
convention will see the necessity for a strong
man morally, as well as politically, for the
office Of Director of the Poor.
Ex-senator b. J. Monaghan, of town, is
spoken of in connection with the Democratic
nomination for Controller. Should he consent
to run he will make a very strong candidate,
as he is highly respected wherever known
and has legions Of friends in this end of the
county.
The tide seems to be running Quay-ward
pretty strong at present. While the mass of
Republicans have no fault to find with Cover
nor Hastings administration, they do not
intend to turn down Senator Quay to express
their approval of the former. With the Gov
ernor it appears to be a case of love me, love
my dog" which, in the present contest, is not
palatable to the majority.
The political card of S. Burd Edwards,
who is seeking the nomination for District
Attorney upon the Republican ticket, APP
pears in this issue of the HERALD. Mr..
Edwards is one of the leading attorneys now
practicing at the |Schuylkill county bar, and
his ability as a lawyer is attested by the large
clientage he commands. His Republicanism
is of the stalwart kind, and in every cam
paign in which the party is interested he can
be found battling for the G. O. 2. His
nomination would certainly add strength to
the ticket to be nominated this fall.

The most novel and successful instru-
ment ever used in the postal service is the
homing pigeon. During the Franco-Ger
man war, 1901, the ingenious French
adopted this system Of transmission Of
their correspondence. The communica-
ions were printed and then ~microphoto-
graphed onto thin films of collodion. Each
pellicle contained the reproduction Of 10
folio pages of type and was so light that
$4,000 messages could be carried by one
pigeon. To insure safe transit the films
were rolled up and placed in a quill which
was fastened to one of the tail feathers Of
the pigeon. Upon arrival of the messenger
at It's destination the films were unrolled
and thrown on a canvas by means of an
electric lantern, copied by clerks and dis
patched to their destination. Later sensi-
tive paper was substituted for the canvas,
and the letters were reproduced on it ready
for remailing.
Another production of French ingenuity
was a balloon postal system with 81 bal
looms. Each ascension cost about 81, 900,
and although Krupp had built several
guns for the German army designed spe-
oially to bring down these aerial mail
cars only five Of them were captured.
They carried many tons of mail as well as
81 passengers during the period Of war;

security, and 1000 more strikers esumcd

somewhat ubated, Is still on. and the
strikers declare that they win fight until
the contractors have all fallen i'm line
and acknowledged their defeat by sign
ing the now agreement.
About % hundred clo0kmakors from the
factory of III. Gerschul 60 Son quit work
yesterday because the propriotors charged
the workers with using cotton instead Of

This the c~ioalmalJors denied. and madc "a
demand for fifty cents % day i'm the scale
of wages, which was refused, and a strike
Immediately followed. Tho strikers yvcre
received with shouts of applause when
they presented themselves at the general
headquarters at Walhallu hall.
The cutters i'm a great number of the
principal establishments on Broadway
have been laid off, owing to the absence of
workers TO complete the garments.
Meyer S~choenield, the strike leader, said
that the tauglc would not be straiqhtene /
out Tor at least ten day more. as some of
the belligerent contractors would have to
be brought to their knees and forced to
recognize the power of the Brotherhood of
Tailors.

the strikers will be working before the
