Another great tract OF Indian lands
will probably soon be thrown open to
white settlement. Commissioners have
concluded an agreement with the Black
feet Indians for the purchase OF the
mountainous region on the west of their
reservation, which Is located In North
western Montana. The strip to be ac-
quired by the government Is over sixty
miles In length by about twenty miles
in width, and the price to be paid for 1t
Is about $1,5OO,OOO. or only half what
the Indians originally asked for 1t. As
the area to be opened Is largely mineral
land which never would be developed
by the Indians, and as the entire pOpu-
latiOn Of the reservation IL but about

fair value for their lands. In addition
to this the farm and grazing lands have
been kept for them and they are allow
ed to take timber until the lands pass
into private hands, and also to hunt and
fish while the lands remain public.

Among the most regrettable incidents

Duffy would have been near the head

three thousand votes shows the strength

Ing and discouraging effect upon those
who have the welfare Of the good old
Democratic party at heart.
As to the causes which led up to the
disastrous defeat of Tuesday last they
are very apparent. One Is the fact
that the great bulk Of the people ana
more particularly the working classes
have not yet got over the idea that the
hard times are still with us and that
the Democratic party Is responsible for
them.
The other Is the fact that the Demo.
cratic voters OF Chicago refused to
come to the polls ana vote for their
party ticket. The result Is that the
great drainage district SO long In con-
troll OF the Democratic party will now
be In charge OF the Republicans, and
It's affairs administered in the interests
Of that party for the next six years. or
until the completion Of the canal, and
the Democratic party has had inflicted
upon It the modification Of an over
whelming defeat In square fight,
where the issue lay between two candi-
dates for judicial hOnOrs, Of whom the
Democrat had the advantage In every
thing that should commend a candi-

Perhaps there may be some truth In
the contention of the working men that,
Notwithstanding the rosy tales of re-
turning prosperity and reOpened indus

times are still with us, and employment
Is just as hard to find to-day as three
years ago. Perhaps, too, Democrats
generally are Disguised with the pres
ent national government, which under
the rule Of the party Jonah, Big Steve,
has become blight and pestilence to
Democracy throughout the land.
But The Eagle questions whether the
Democratic voters Of Chicago have
done wisely In taking II out In crush
ing defeats Of the local party organiza-
ton.
Perhaps when the snow lies deep
upon the ground this winter the Demo
cratic workman and artisan may find
cause TO regret turning the Democrats
out and putting the Republicans In con-
troll OF the big ditch. The Democratic
party Is In large part party of the
workingmen. Thousands Of them found
steady and welcome employment
through the three hard years just past
upon the drainage canal. Under the
