The Fruits of Filibustering.

As it happened, the people of the west suffered most from the filibustering tactics pursued in the last congress. In the senate, as everybody knows, the prolonged filibuster of the minority pre- vented the admission of the territories to statehood, and one of the disastrous results of the democratic filibuster in the house during the closing days of the session was the failure of legisla-
 tion which had been agreed upon for
 the opening for settlement of 2,15,000 acres of agricultural lands in several of the largest Indian reservations of
 the country. The early part of the ses-
 sion had been devoted by those inter
 satisfactory base for the legislation.
 This had just been reached when the filibuster began. Members of the Appro-
 priations Committee, headed by MT.
 Cannon, opposed the proposition con- tained in the first bills introduced, that
 the Indian lands should be bought by
 the government and then thrown open to settlement There was no opposition,
 however, from this quarter to the prop osition to have the government act as trustee for the sale of the lands to set tiers by the Indians. By this plan the government was to purchase the lands in trust, and as they were sold to set tiers pay the purchase price to the In-
 dians.
 Under this plan 500,0OO acres were to be thrown open in Oklahoma, 45O,0cC acres of the Rosebud Reservation in
 South Dakota, 100000 acres of the Crow Reservation in Montana and 200, 600 acres of the Devils Lake Reserva- | ton in Nerth Dakota. The only meas ure of this class which was allowed U get through was bill throwing open tt settlement 100000 acres of he Red Lake
 Reservation. It is estimated that if all of the measures had become laws | homes would have been furnished for something like 5O,OO0 families on th= best agricultural land in the country.

 That was the faith of the men who rose up to deliver Germany from the foreign oppressor and of the men who came later to unite Germany and make her great among the nations.
