CHEYENNE INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Major Mclaughlin Adjusting Matters Be-
tween Redskins and Whites.

Major Mclaughlin, special agent of
the Indian department, who has had
sole charge of the adjustment Of the
Northern Cheyenne reservation on the
upper Rosebud, arrived from Washing
ton, D. G., this morning, clothed with
authority to negotiate an adjustment
of the claims of a few settlers on
Greenleaf creek, who were always sup
posed to be outside of the reservation
until an accurate survey was had last
summer, says Mondays Yellowstone
Journal. This late discovery of their
status placed these people in III awk-
ward position. Negotiations with all
known settlers had been closed by
Major Mclaughlin, his report APP
proved by the secretary Of the interior
and congress had acted in accordance
by making an appropriation to carry
out the contracts Major Mclaughlin
had made. However, the major is not
without resources. He appreciated
the situation of the Greenleaf creek
people and by making a proper and
forcible representation of their case to
the department. he secured authority
to negotiate with them and the assur-
ance that an appropriation to carry
out his contracts would be asked for
by the department. Otherwise these
people would have been in the situa-
ton of trespassers on the reservation
and subject to unceremonious removal
and loss of their improvements, and
their only remedy a claim against the
government, which even when success
fully prosecuted, is about all absorbed
in attorneys fees. Major Mclaughlin
has also been successful in securing a
| settlement for one or two other set
tiers, whose rights, though undoubted,
were obscured by Irregularities of for
mer holders. Certainly the settlers
who have had their claims adjusted
by Major Mclaughlin, owe him
much. He took hold Of this matter
some two years ago, when it was
hopelessly tangled and the cause OF
constant friction between the whites
and Indians. He did not attempt to
"fx' it on the hit or miss principle,
but began at the foundation and gave
kweeks Of his time to the p~ainstaking
| discussion of each individual settlers
case, SO that when he was through
with this phase Of the negotiations he
was prepared to offer just settle-
ments. These settlements took time,
too, and when they were arrived at by
mutual agreement the work was but
half done. The government does not
give or receive land titles unless the
record is absolutely aawless, and n
can imagine that the records OF some

people, who : to be dealt with. Ma

CONTEMPLATING DUTY.
The belgian Government VIII Not
Hctaiiate Against the
United States.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-COunt Lich-
tervelde, the minister TO the United
States from Belgium. says his gov
eminent has not taken any steps
looking TO retaliation against the
United States because of the contin-
ued imposition of countervailine
duty on Belgian sugar imported into
the United States.
The countervailing duty on Belgian
sugar has been imposed for several
years past. Recently. as has been
the custom annually, it has been re-
stated or rcadiusted and this has Civ
en- rise to the impression that the
step was taken recently by this gov
eminent. The readjusted duty makes
little If any difference in the existing
rates.

A recent dispa,,h to the London
Daily Mail from Copenhagen says that
while King Christian and his son.
Prince Waldemar. were walking on
public thoroughfare a bloycllst ran IN
to the king, bruising his maJesty's leg
ava soilng his clothes The aged klng
tottered from the shock and would have
fallen IL The prince had not caught him.
The bicyclist, not knowing who the TWO
persons were. began 10 abuse them'
whereupon Prince Waldemar seized
him and turned him over to a police
man. The bieyclist then learned the
identity Of the two and became num-
b" apologize. King Christian then
ordered that he be released The con-
r''~' Of the bicycist was perfectly
natural and the iebuke he administered
to he king for daring TO be in his way
quite the proper caper The only sur
prising thing about the incident Is the
teinerity Of Prince Waldemar In talk
inn back" TO the blcyclst. But then
the prince is a young man and probably
without much experience.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1901-02-21

In several American cities the referen-
dunn has been put 10 the practical test.
I In Wisconsin measure Is considered
which contemplates giving the people
direct influence upon public affairs, in
another way. II abolishes political
conventions and caucuses and provides
for number Of nominations by the
people This. It Is hoped, viii bring
about sweeping changes for the better
in the political life Of the state.
There are widely different opinions os
to the wisdom OF these various meas
ures for direct legislation. A summary
Is given In the Literary Digest, The
Cleveland Leader sees In the expert
ment radical departure from the
fundamental principles Of representa-
IT,, government" The Chicago Chronl-
clr believes that to apply the principle
on broad scale is 10 "paralyze all gov
ment." On the other hand It Is claimed
that statesmen such as Salisbury Rose
berry and Balfour have declared in
favor Of direct appeals 10 the people.
And the Democratic party. In its plat
form Of 1900 has this plank:
wv favor an amendment to the fed
eraI constitution providing for the cleo
tIor Of United States senators by d.
rect vote Of the people, and we favor
direct legislation wherever practicable.
The supposition is that such legisla-
ton win have the effect u taking pollti-
cal questions out Of the hands of So
called wire pullers but II need hardly be
said that It will be accompanied with
difficulties. perhaps dangers OF Its own
which may not be apparent until II is
put to the practical tost. Radical
changes In government should always
be made with great caution, and only
as the people are prepared Tor them.
Experience teaches that while the citi-
2ens OF state take general interest
in the election Of officers and represen-
tatives, they expect these to study the
various questions that bear on the
common affairs and TO deal with them
according to their best understanding.
Business men do not care to take time
for a thorough investigation OF every
public problem. The consequence Is
that there generally is light vote on
questions submitted for reference.
This may not be due to indifference,
but to lack OF time or facilities for the
investigation that is indispensable to
an intelligent vote on any public ques-
ton. A great many people prefer to
have others do their thinking for them.
on such matters, and no possible appl-
cation of the system Of initiative and
referendum can change that fact In a
short time.
