new Deal - aAo Reservation.
A number Of cattle men recently
met Indian Agent Bingeiheimer at
Standing Rock to arrange for permits
to Craze cattle on the reservation, in
accordance with an order issued BY
the department.. The order provided
that the cattlemen should be allowed
to put limited number Of cattle on
the reservation. and. pay q dollar q
head peryear for the privilege: When,
however, the cattlemcn reached Stand.
ing Rock they found that the Indian
department had made another ruling,
providing that the land should be
leased by districts, and the cattle
men should pay so much an acre.
After considerable discussion, the cat
tie men came to the conclusion that
they would much rather have the ar.
rangement as ut first proposed. espec.
fally as the Indians had been edu-
Gated up, to the idea Of getting so
much per head for cattle. It was be.
lieved that the matter would be less
complicated and more satisfactory to
everybody were the original plan
adopted.

REALLY, something ought to be done
by the officers of the law looking to
the relief of A. ]. Smell. You can
hardly pick up a newspaper nowadays
without reading abont that unfortu-
nate person who "wanted to go to q
party" While the Record is not &C.
quainted with Mr.. Smell, it feels that
some great wrong is being done to the
poor man or he would not be filing
the columns OF the papers with paid
reading-matter notices Of the fact that
he wants to attend party. Poor
Smell is certainly under bodily re.
straint, somewhere in North Dakota,
and 1T should be the duty of the state
authorities to procure a writ of habeaa
corpus, or duces tecum, or pro bono
publico, or something of the kind, and
see that A. J. has his liberty restored.
There is no legal or moral reason why
any free-born American should not ~
to a party, provided he be duly sober
and has the price Of admission.

light be thrown on every phase of the
tariff question, that We may the bet
ter legislate for our labor and our in
dustries. II Mr.. Lamb has not yet
completed his series Of papers for the
season, we would like to suggest a few
topics which can be discussed with
the most beneficial results.
Will the Free-Trade League let us
have papers on the following subjects:
How would a whole or partial re-
peal Of the Dingley law increase our
sales abroad and interfere In no way
with our present industrial prosperity?
How would fee trade increase our
home market?
How would free sugar help our
growing beet industry?
Where are the foreign markets to
be gained, and how are we to gain
them against the competition of
cheap labor abroad, unless we reduce
our own labor to. the same;level?
Why are we 80 prosperous to-day,
why are SO many employed, and why
are wages SO high, in spite of our "rob-
ber tari6?'

Which is better, q government sur.

Why arc our railroads SO busy and

Why is 1t that our farmers are SO

ALMOST every mail brings letter
to the Record from some eastern polit.

tremely critical conditions it would
be their duty to at once step In and

Washington to save the country; but
Messrs. Hansbrough, McCumber and

Now, perhaps, gentle reader, you
may find .. little. trouble in properly
defining and placing in good newspa-
per English the above three.ply word.
In fact, we didn't know what 1t meant
until We took a peep into the diction-
ary, but we can now assure those who
peruse this article that it is all right.
1t isn't usual for us to use such blue
blooded words, but during the holiday
season even . country-newspaper pub
Usher is expected to sling bit Of extra
style.
But the above paragraph is merely Q
depression, and hasn't anything to do
with the main question, which is to
faithfully recount the happenings Of
Monday evening.
On the date named, shortly after the
Brsddock stage arrived, a great COM
motion was heard on Dewey avenue,
In front of the building formerly occu-
pied as the Chase hotel. Howls and
shouts, coupled with the most unearth.
ly noises ever made BY man or demon,
we're heard. Rretty soon several mys.
terious figures,&ere seen-and heard
gliding aboutlthe streets Of the town,
stopping 1T the vasious business places
and residences. Many nervous persons
were seriously frightened, believing
that either the Sioux braves had gone
on the var-path or that mob. Of an
arch,sts or South Dakota pop editors
had broken loose.
But In q little while all fears were
removed, and 1t was found that the
l1abilee was justified by the fact that
The members of the Linton band had
received those instruments of torture
which they hope and believe they will
within few months be able to con-
vert into mediums for expressing the
melody which fills their souls.
Next morning there were many
strange-looking objects found on the
streets Of Linton, which investiga tion
by experts proved to be pieces of
broken notes and chunks Of fractured
harmony. These we're carefully COL
lected and removed from the highway,
for fear that teams might injure their
hoofs by stepping or them.
But-just the same-the Linton lads
have received their band instruments.
There are eighteen pieces. The cost
Was slo1 besides the freight-and ali
has been paid except about ps5-which
sum was advanced by members Of the
band beyond their respective pro-rata
shares.
