He was a poet. historian. a critic

out an enormous quantity of matter

IA hours a day and diversifying his Ia

six tables in his library. He wrote

mismanagement which was provoking

But II was Kent who was RESPONSE

of the last day Of the month he had
sought out the editor and begged him

NOW HEARD FROM
New York Tribune Correspondent Ia
Again Called Down for Reporting
Senate Affairs

Washington. May 24-The railroad
rate bill found an carly echo in the
senate today when Senator McCumber
rose to a question of personal privilege
to make a reply to a publication in the
New York Tribune charging that one
of the North Dakota senators would
accomplish the defeat of certain pur-
poses of the bill.
The amendment was described in the
newspaper a a little joker" and it
was represented that by changing the
word regularity to the word law
fully" common carriers would be en-
abled to disregard orders of the COM
mission. 1t was stated the senator had
admitted such would be the result.
McCumber said he had never made
any such admission or any that would
seem to be of that character He ex-
pressed the opinion that If there had
been any Joke" on any one it was on
the writer of the article, but he re-
garded it as rather a slur on the COM
mittee which had accepted it and on
the lawyers of the senate, none of
whom had detected any overt character
in it. He also said the amendment
could not have any effect like that in
dicated and he did not understand how
any person with the slightest reason
ing power could have reached the con-
clusion arrived at by the writer Of the
article.

IMPORTANT DECISION
BY SUPREME COURT
Indian Allotments Placed IN
Same Category With
Reservations.
THE LIQUOR LAWS HOLE
q Penitentiary ofsense to Introduce lm
toxicants Onto Allotted Lands,
the Same as on Reser-
vations.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. May 19.--The
United States authorities for South
Dakota are greatly pleased over the
decision Of the United States supreme
court rendered Monday, in the case
of James Lincoln, who was convicted.
in the United States court OF Nebras-
ka on an indictment charging him with
the unlawful introduction of liquor
into the Winnebago Indian reservation
He was found guilty and sentenced
to imprisonment for period of sixty
days and fined 800. The case came
before the supreme court on writ Of
habeas corpus, Lincolns attorneys
seeking to have him discharged from
custody on the ground that the United
States court was without jurisdiction.
The decision OF the supreme court
In this case is OF importance to the
federal authorities of every state in
which Indians have taken their allot-
ments OF land. Ever since the Brewer
decision. holding that it was not vio-
lation of the federal statutes for In
dians who have talS>.l their allotments
to purchase liquor, there has been un-
certainty as to whether or not the fed
eral courts had authority to regard the
land included in allotments the same
as the regular Indian reservations. !
Notwithstanding the Brewer decfs-,
Ion, there has never been any question
about the government having authority
to arrest and prosecute Indians or
other persons who take liquor to the
regular /. dian reservations, but!
whether the land included in the allot-!
ments given to Indians should be treat-t
ed the same as the regular reservations
has been a disputed question. I
The decision of the United States su-,
preme court therefore means that while,
Indians who have taken allotments are
entitled to purchase liquor in the towns,
adjacent to their homes or elsewhere1
they cannot lawfully take liquor to al
lotted lands. any more than they cam
to Indian reservations. and the United
States courts will have power in future
to punish Indians or whites who take
pquor to allotted lands, the same as
Nose who are charged with introduce
ng liquor into the regular Indian res-.
kryations /

Sioux Falls. S. d.. May 23.--Returns
from the republican county conven-
tions held throughout the state yes
terday leave not tie slightest question
BILE to the United States senate. The
insurgent faction of republicans, of
which he was one of the leaders. will
have not less than 500 of the 1859 DEL
egates who will be entitled to seats in
the state convention. which will be held
in Sioux Falls on June 5.
The fight has been an animated one
The leaders of the stalwart faction are
Senator Kittredge and congressman
Martin and Burke, the plan of the stall
warts having been to have Congress-
man Martin elected as the successor Of
Complete New Deal.
The results of the county conven-
tions also insure the nomination of Coe
|. Crawford to the office of governor
and means the retirement of Congress-
men Martin and Burke and the substi-
tuition of men allied with the insurgent
faction. MIR. Crawford has been the
leader of the insurgents for several
gears and was defeated two years ago.
The alliance this year with Senator
Gamble made the success of the in
surgents certain. The insurgents de-
clare that Coe l. Crawford will two
years hence be a candidate against
United States senate.
The break between Senators Gam
BILE and lSittredge has attracted ma
tional attention and has resulted in a
deadlock over federal appointments in
South Dakota notably for the office
of United States attorney. this being
the first deadlock of Importance be-
tween the two senator's.
Surprise in the Black Hills.
Congressman Martin lives in the
Black Hills. and one of the surprises
to the stalwarts was the fact that PEN
nington county, one Of the six Black
Hills counties, was carried by the in
surgents. notwithstanding the eNpecta-
tion that Congressman Martin would
have the Black Hills solidly behind
him.
Features OF the county conventions
We're the surprising gains which were
reported as sure stalwart counties
among them being Deuel., Pennington
and Hutchinson county, but the county
was not certain for them, and had they
not secured q majority elsewhere in the
state it is probable the county would
have been against them. as it was tied
Up to favorite son in the person OF
D. d. Wipf present secretary of state.
The insurgents had steadily maintained
that they would carry one or more
Slack Hills counties. but these claims
We're scotfed at by the stalwarts.
While on the face of the returns from
the county conventions the insurgents
have in the neighborhood of not less
than 500 delegates, it is confidently ex-
pected that this figure will be increased
100 Or more by the time the state con-
vention meets. as several counties
which were carried by the stalwarts
are practically certain to go to the in
surgerts for the protection OF their own
interests.
