I'la* w hite man is snpiaised to ruh’;
things in these ruited States, but as a j
matter of fact lie is handicapped in his
race for iiie. The Indians have a far
better show. It is all very well for the
congressm *n and senators in tin* East,
who never saw an Indian in their lives,
to taik about the inhuman way in which
the red man is tie ing moved on. I'n
iloubtedly the aborigines have some
rights, but it is a great, question iiUjey

serves for their own use. and the disap
proval is just and reasonable. Hut the
unworthy, lazy redskins are far ahead
of all the lords ami squires of Europe in
their monopolizingtemTuioies. In Mon
tana, for example, there are |s.7o> In
dians, and the e have Ul,Tt(> square mile*
to live upon. In other words, each
Indian has more than two and a half
square miles for himself. In Belgium
there are IR2 people to each square mile;
in England, £ JO. If 10,000 square miles
were withdrawn from the Indian reser
vations of Montana there would still be
mmio square mile*- an area as large as
t’onneetieut and Rhode Island put tm
gether. which two States contain a
million people. I’nder this arrangement
every Indian, old and young, male and
female, would have a quarter-section of
land, and Mien there would be a million
acres to spare that might be used as a
park. The same argument that applies
to Montana applies to Dakota. The
Indians are monopolizing land that
decent, chan people want.

K'j eotad Filial Proof.
Jamestown t’upltxl.
A good many linal proofs arc being
rejected in the neighliorhood of Lu
Moure, and The Progress thinks it
should he. It says that much of X.a
Mou.ie county’s soil is held by a clans of
claimants that resemble the lilies of the
valley, for •• they toil not, neither do
they spin.” They hire a man to do a
week's work on their claim each year,
and thus hold it from actual settlers,
while they follow their various occupa
tions in distant cities, without the least
intention of ever living on their “home
steads. v This sort of speculation is
working injury to the permanent de
velopment of the country, and, as a
farmer said to the writer the other day,
it covers the land so that nearest neigh
bors arc often from one to three miles
apart, although according to the rec
ords. the land is all la in ‘steaded out of
Uncle Sam’s hands. The friends of
