VOL. IX. TERRITORIAL TOPICS. GOV. C-TORCH AND railroads. When the new governor of Dakota an nounces his cabinet and puts up a new slate of territorial officials, one of the first and most sweeping signs of reform will be iu his recommendations with regard to the railroads in the territory. It is said that he will remove every railroad, commissioner who is in the slightest . respect connected with any of the large railroad corporations that gridiron the territory. There is more than one man in the present board of com missioners who will have to go. Any man in that board who retains the slightest marks of identification with any of the railroads, or attempts in any way to block the efforts of an anti-monopoly legislature ind a clean-cutting reform governor, would be a good deal better off politically if he had a millstone about his neck anil was cast into the depths of the Jim river. Gov. Cncncir will do exactly what the old gang do not want him to do, anel he will do it without the slightest sign of hesitation, or fear of rebuke. • - DAKOTA LAND OFFICES. Of the twenty public land offices in Da kota twelve have been changed and eight remain to be filled by Democrats. Of these eight, but one can be considered a vacancy, and that is the receivership at Deadwood. James P. Lcse, the register there, was appointed in October, 1883, by President Aiithuk, and when congress met he was reappointed on the 12th of December. Ac cordingly his term expired last month. Mr. Luse is a square-toed Republican and tendered ids resignation promptly after Ci.kvf.laxd's inauguration, but no ac ceptance was made of it because he is tin ex cellent official and there was no desire on Gen. Spabks' part to have his place filled by any one else. The seven offices still re maining in the hands of the Republicans are the receivership at Fargo, the register ship at Bismarck, the registership at Devil's Lake, both register and receiver at Grand Forks and the same at Mitchell. Register Rea, at Bismarck, is an excellent official, and it is said that Gen. Sparks has no disposition to accede to his retirement from the office. His term will not expire until July, 18SS, and, unless he insists on getting out, he will probably not be disturbed. The term of Register Tiffaxy, at Grand Forks, ex- pires Feb..2S, 1888, and that of Mr. Ax- DEBSO*. the receiver at Grand Forks, ex- pires the 5th of April, 1888. In all proba- bility both of these gentlemen will be suc * ceeded by Democrats before long. The registership at Devil's Lake becomes vacant on the 11th of February, 18SS, and there will probably be a change there. CAPITAL, REMOVAL. A New York friend of Gov. Ciiur.cn j has inadvertently dropped a hint about the reasons which impel the president to ignore Dakuiians so much as he has in the affairs of the territory. The president has been told that a Dakota man, whether a Repub lican or Democrat, is always Yon the make," and that when the Democrats came into power there was an instant feeling among the Democrats in Dakota that a change of the capital could be effected under the new administration, provided the officers of the territory, 'according "to - the Chicago plat form, should be given to Dakota men. This, Gov. CHURCH'S New York friend claims. is the secret of the determined resistance to the division-oil the territory. With Dakota's enormous area intact, Bismarck is not a central point for the capital, neither geographically nor according to popu lation or means of transit. He says that if Dakota can be admitted with its bound aries untouched, the Democratic majority in the house would insist upon the selec tion of some more central point for a cap ital. Huron lias been boomed as the cap ital of the proposed state of South Dakota, but Aberdeen has many points in its favor as the seat of government, if the territory Is admitted as a whole. The boom in real estate which could be created at any point by a relocation of the capital is motive enough for a combined effort in this direc tion. A good many fair-sized fortunes could be made if the movement succeeded. The scheme, of course, involves the co operation of the Democrats and a few Re- publicans in the territorial legislature. JUDGE SPENCER'S APPOINTMENT The allegation that Judge CHCBCH named Judge Spencer to the president when he was in Washington is absolutely untrue. The attorney general was instructed in tiiat matter before Gov. Church arrived to Washington. In fact, the appointment of Judge Spencer was agreed upon when it was decided to appoint Gov. Church, and that was in November last, before Mr. Pierce tendered his resignation. Mr. Spencer is said to be one of the most finished lawyers to the Empire state, and his friends say that he will soon demonstrate to the people of the Empire of the North west that the president did wisely and well in sending him there to fill the bench of the able judge who has been elevated to the governorship of the territory. It is said that the judge was reluctant to accept the position when tendered him. because he did not want to go to Dakota and be received with predjudice and enmity by the people with whom he must make his abode. The office was not of his seeking. Among the most notable land cases in the . history of the territory was one in Hanson county, recently determined by Judge Tripp, . in which be ordered the man who held the patent to deed the land to the contestant upon payment of costs. In 1878 or 1879 one Duke ion Bled upon the claim without having established a residence, and went away. In 1880 one Curtis fllod on the land, alleging ' abandoincnt by Dukelon. His claim was regarded as sure. The contest went on. and was finally decided by the land office in favor of West, and the commissioners approved the findings and ordered Dukelon's entry can celed. This was in 1888. Dukelon came back and took advantage of the June act of congress of 1SS0. He was not allowed to prove up, but subsequently the commissioner reversed his decision us to the cancellation, and allowed Dukelon to prove up aud take bis patent, which he did. But West had possession of the land, winch ha d become very valuable, and refused to (rive up. The matter has been contested in the courts ever since, jua^es being slow to monkey with patents, but Judge Tripp has taken hold of it, and decided that a patent is not conclu sive as to rights of property. A great many people are said to be readv to cross the Missouri and squat upon the reser vation lands as soon as the Dawes bill passes congress. The experience of the Crow Creek settlers should suggest that there is danger in presuming upon the leniency of the gov ernment. If the bill passes, at best it would be six months or more before settlers couM have any rights upon the land, and it is very doubtful that the required number of the red possessors of that country will give their con gent to the requirements of the bill. The Rapid City Journal. in throwing out a caution ary word, says: "They should not lose sight of "the provision regarding the necessity of securing the signatures of three-fourths of the male adult Indians to the cession. Such provision may cause no end of trouble and difficulty. It is the opinion of those who are familiar with the sentiment of the Indians on this matter that tbe required number of signa tures will not be easily obtained." Still the passage of the bill is generally desired, that * beginning may be made that will lead eventually to the opening. tr_^2 • %^& '"v ■■ '■ v^^^^^S^^^' A BISMARCK BOYCOTTS The Dakota Law Makers Transact BusiH ness and Get Their Committee __M Assignments, Mum After Which They Leave a Hotel WhiclH Charged Them $2 a Day for H Board.

'J ■'-.. r The. North Half of the Territory a IVotl.lkely to diet Much from the i "Lcgifclature. C Special to the Globe. v Bismarck, Dak., Jan. 14. — The way the a legislature stands now North Dakota is in J reach of all the plums, and a South Dakota ' c member said yesterday they proposed to pluck them. North Dakota had had her way in the past, and the South didn't pro pose to be bamboozled any more. They had posed Bismarck would be; satisfied when _ she got the capitol, but instead she seemed anxious to bag everything, aud the conclu- £ sion was reached that it was about time to sit down on her. The South Dakota people ( were disposed to be fair, and would have , accepted a Central or North . Dakota man i for speaker of the house if they were as sured that he was not bound by any par- \ ticular faction. J. H. Fletcher, of Aber- ' deen, killed himself by refusing to give up < his anti-division convictions, and Monday t night, while the wild and woolly solons t ST. PAUI>, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 15, 1887— TWELVE PAGES. were trying to unite on some man to pre 1 side over them, he was hauled out of his bed three times and pleaded with to say that he was a divisionist and he might have ' the speakership. This he absolutely re fused to do. D. S. Dodds. of Lakota, tin homeliest man in the house, came WITHIN AN ACE of receiving the nomination. The South l Dakota men were willing to support him in the belief that he was fair and would rule impartially, but the willingness of the South to accept Dodds aroused the sus- picion of Sullivan, of Plankinton, and Men » zer. of Mitchell, and they refused to gt into the caucus. This killed Dodds off, and E. A. Williams, of Bismarck, whose ambition is constantly reaching out foi something to grip, thought he saw a loo*. hole through which he could crowd intc the speakership, and he probably would have succeeded had not the South Da- kotans caught on to him and, reorganizing with a determination to unite on any man rather than to see the honor go to a Bis " marck representative, they settled on Crosse, a Hyde county farmer, and elected i him, much to the chagrin of Williams ant his friends, who were hopeful to the last, , and. after the first ballot, which was an in formal one. was taken in the house Tues- day morning, giving Crosse a big majority. Sullivan made a motion that the house ad- journ till noon the next day, with the hope that Williams' friends would be able to cau- cus and put up a combination by which he would be elected. But the South Dakota clans were not to be hoodwinked; they saw the game, buried the motion, and elected their man on the next ballot. A WORD ABOUT CBOSSE. It is hardly possible that the house could have made a better choice for speaker than they did when they threw the toga over the shoulders of G. C. Crosse. One would get the impression at the first glance at him that he was rather below the ordinary grade in point of intellect, and when he mounted the speaker's stand Tuesday afternoon those who were unacquainted with the man smiled under their hands and wondered "what in the d 1 that fellow could say." Before, lie had finished they discovered that he was no slouch by several mile stones, and he delivered an address that was elo quent and polished. He is a very heavy set man. with no superfluous flesh on his tall, broad frame. His limbs seem to have been moulded for a giant, and his shoulders look broad and strong enough to bear up the Western hemisphere. His hands half cover the top of the speakers desk, and he wears a Xo. 14 boot. A massive head sits firmly on a short thick neck, ami over a broad forehead a shock of black hair lies neatly and submissively. His eyes are blue and full of good nature. He dresses plainly but neatly, and his movements are awk ward, but when he BRINGS HIS GAVEL DOWN on his desk with a force almost to split it, the bouse immediately comes to order and he rules with an easy grace that proves him a first-class parliamentarian. He is slow to anger, but when his wrath is once aroused he is a hard man to handle. A story is told of how a few nights ago, about midnight, he happened to be walking along Third street on his way to the hotel. Just as he reached a dirk alley two men stepped out and. holding a pistol each side of his head, ordered him to hold up bis hands. "Not by a d— d sight." replied Crosse, "It a too cold, an' 1 haint got any mittens with inc." "Hold up yer hands, ordered the men, "or we'll shoot yer full er boles." "Shoot and be doirgoue," said Crosse. "I hain't done nutbin* I'm ashamed of. an' I might as well drop off now as ever, I sup- . ..... . ;. ..- pose. The men had gradually edged closer to the speaker of the house, and suddenly sprang at him and grasped his arms. He coolly pulled his hands from his pockets; caught the two men by the .neck, and pounded their heads together until their cries at tracted the attention of a policeman, who came-: up and was about to arrest them, when': Crosse tossed them out into the gutter and told the officer not to bother with them, as they were friends of his and they were only having a little fun among themselves. Crosse picked up the pistols the men had dropped, and putting them in his pocket went to his hotel. When he reached his room be pulled the pistols out to examine them and found that they were whittled out of pine. He will keep them as moiuen toes of his first visit to Bismarck. GOV. I'lEitCK'K MESSAGE The Kctirincr Executive Proves an ■■' Entertains Beaacr. Special to the Globe. ■Bismarck, Jan. 14.— Gov. nerce is an j utertaining reader, and. his message as ead by. himself Wednesday to the joint ession'made a much deeper impression on he legislators than it would have done had ie entrusted its reading to the clerk of the ouncil. Ted Kingsbury suspected that ie would be called upon to read it, and as I would take him at least an hour and a lalf he hid himself in a committee-room to "scape the thankless job, but Teddy was lot called upon. The governor was evi lently proud of an opportunity to address uch a body of intelligent men. and he did t effectively. The governor's long experi tnce as a newspaper man enabled him to lang his message on wires of harmony, and vhen he pulled off the different sections ,nd dissected them before the eyes and ais of his hearers they came to ileces to regular order and with nit , a hitch or unpleasant jar. ile was one hour and fifteen minutes read rig it. but there was not an expression of veariness on the face of a single represen ative or councilman. The attention they >aid to the speaker and the signs of ap iroval that they gave his suggestions were iroofs enough that they were listening to a nan in whom they had the greatest confi leuce, whose ideas they respected, whose •pinions they honored. As that portion of lie message was read relating to the tern ary and the seemingly hopeless struggle it vas making to get INTO THE UNION, he laces ot ins nearei-s nusnea, aim wnen i 16 advised manly perseverance and patience md cool, calm deliberation in all their iiovements. the hall rang with the applause hat drowned the voice of the speaker, and is the end drew near, and the governor poke of his administration, his pleasant ssociations with the people, and the ap uoach of the hour when he must give up lie field in which he had labored so long ml interestedly, to his successor, his voice ;rew husky with emotion and his eyes tilled vith tears, and several men in the audience vera seen to gnaw their finger nails and f re- Ittently wipe their noses. After the disso ution of the joint session, territorial officers. uembers of the legislature and citizens gathered in little knots in the corridors and oinmented in words of praise on the mes age. They all spoke admiringly of its :lear and comprehensive statements, its im mpartial recommendations and its undis posed loyalty to Dakota and per people. That portion of the message relating to the ailroads and railroad commissioners made i deep impression. The suggestion that maginary or pretended objections on ac count of conflicts of opinion in the territory vould be obviated by submitting the divi iion question to the people, was unani mously favored. It was a masterly effort levoid of big words, ambiguous sentences md was chock full of good, horse sense. Tee Aitch. GOV. CHinCH. The Globe Representative Sizes Up ' 'SS: tlie .\< .v Executive.

Bismarck, Dak., Jan. 14. — 1 found Gov. .hiirch in his room at the hotel the other Doming, engaged in conversation with a ! led Kiver valley newspaper man, who had : in expression on his face that gave me the I dea that he had both hands out The gov- I Trior is a much younger appearing man '• ban his age would . indicate. He looks not ' i year older than 32, and his -manners har- • monize perfectly with his appearanc There is nothing in the governor's maker that would impress a person at first sigh but after his acquaintance is made and 1 has given one his attention, one becomi aware that he is a man of more than ord nary ability. The first feature about hi that attracts one's attention is his beat which is of peculiar design. His for< head is low. but - of wonderfi breadth and fullness. His craniiu is oval, resembling in contour the top of loaf of Vienna bread. It slopes downwar from the full forehead and comes to aroun termination in the rear. A phrenologis in running his fingers over the head of Da kota's prospective governor, would say li was benevolent, magnanimous, combatlvi determined and carried around with him large stock of common sense.

An incipient mustache uiatcht the hirsute coating of his head, and a pa of big, round, candid blue eyes look at yo in a kindly way. lie is not an extravagai* dresser. When I saw him he wore a four button cut-away of black material, whic fitted well his heavy shoulders, a pair ( gray-mixed pants, baggy at the knee Waukenphast shoes and a lo\ collar and rather dingy cuffs.; I saw n watch chain, but in his vest pocket h carried a simple silver watch that looke like a Waterbury, the face of which h consulted frequently. He is very cat tious just at the present time as to what h says, and when newspaper men approac him he treats them pleasantly, but refuse to talk much. He told me to-day that Th report from Washington to the effect thr he had promised to make M. H. Dayterritc rial auditor was wholly without foundatioi Said he: MADE no TKOMISES. The relations between Mr. Day and myse! are of the most friend ly nature, but 1 bav promised bim nothing. Why, he could hav been a candidate for the appointment a governor if be wanted to. Continuing in this line he said that h would come into oflice under no obligation to any one. and with no promises to break His hands are free and -: .

In speaking of Gov.

II anticipated no particular trouble in Wash iugton over the confirmation of his appoint ment. He thought the delay was only tha arising from ordinary incidents and circttm stances that often prevent the expedition o matters. He thinks his appointment wil be confirmed, and he will receive his coin mission some time next week, which wil be quite early enough to suit him, as he ha a case iu the courts that demands his atten tion, an attention that he could not give i liter being sworn into the gubernatoria i 'Mice.

The Dakota Insane. Dakota papers are discussing the necessity *>r immediate increase of facilities for the :arc of the insane of the territory. The asy m for the insane at Yankton is represented is being already overcrowded, so that it is mpossible to receive patients ex- •ept as inmates are discharged . to mike room. It is further said that even low the accommodations are so crowded as to nterfere with the proper treatment, of pa- ients. There arc, moreover, a great many nsane confined in jails, wnere, of course, hey cannot be properly treated. The situa- ion, according to these representations, is a rood deal as it was in Iowa, prior to the innug- lration of the new asylum at Clarinda to ad- litions to the old asylums. Many Dakota mpers are u.cordingly calling upon the leg- slature to make liberal appropriation foren- nrgirig the asylum at Yankton. An appro- >riation lor this purpose was refused bv the ast territorial legislature, but strong efforts _ ill be made to secure $70,000 at the ensuing cssion. The **Inn With the Gripsack.

This gentleman, j ; la rightly gauged, will tackle the ! astes of the average South Dakotuns j nd be the faithful servant of the ele- j ments who rejoice most at Judge j Ihurch 's removal from tbe bench. The pic- j ure drawn of the new carpet-bagger justi- , ies the suspicion that he is almost as good a iwyer as Cleveland himself, and that he will o even quite as well as if he bad come from 'lorida. His influence will be probably ilssed in New York at the next election and ; will make no impression on the solid Re- ublican phalanx of Dakota. Of course the ?rritorial Democracy are dying to co::gratu- ite the new gentleman with the gripsack. I A Noticeable Letting Down. amestown Capital. There is such a noticeable letting down in ie tone and dignity of the Dakota depart- lent of the Pioneer Press of last Saturday bat one would hardly recognize it as the pro- uct of Gov. Pierce, and we are lead to be- eve that in the rush of preparation for the leeting of the legislature the governor en- rusted bis editorial work to a clerk and sent he copy to the publisher without revision. 'he disparaging personal reference to Con- ressman Springer is so unbecoming the abil- :y and dignity of the governor tbat the Capi- j at is disposed to question the authorship of i he editorial article. The editorial may have een smuggled into the office by some one of lie South Dakcti statehood fire-eaters, as it 5 imbued with the spirit tbat has predomi- ated In that section for several years under he leadership of . the agitator and - kicker, ampbell.

How Denny Hannafln. the Bismarck Character, Conducts a Temper- ance Meeting. Various Other Matters of General In- terest to the Good People of the Big Territory. '. Among other Dakotians registered at the l Merchants yesterday were United States ; Marshal D. W. Maratta, United States Dis- trict Attorney John E. Carland and Judge i William II. Becker, candidate for appoint- ment as attorney general to succeed Engle. J In speaking of the rumor to the effect that ) | he is seeking appointment as territorial auditor, Capt. Maratta pronounced the re ' port false in every particular. "I would be foolish," said he, "to give up the oflice 1 now hold under the government for the auditorship, or any other territorial office. My present position pays me well enough, and I am so well satisfied that I will not seek appointment under Gov. Church. And all this talk In the newspapers about Commodore Coulson; of Yankton, being in the field for appointment as treasurer under tho new executive is utterly untrue and nonsensical. Coulson does not want any office. He is well fixed financially and too fond of a quiet life to enter actively into poll tics. Cut he is a man of sterling worth, just the same, and there is no office in the terri tory which he Is uot competent to fill — not even excepting the governorship. I have not been to Bismarck this winter; and don't ex pect to go there. I am now on my way to at tend a session of the United States court." A POSSIBLE SLATE. "The slate will be Day for auditor, Maratta for treasurer and myself for attorney gen eral." said Judge Becker in reply to an inter rogative put to him by the Globe reporter relative to the men who would bo appointed to fill the three most important offices at the disposal of the governor. But the judge con tinue 1: "Oh, don't put that down. I was merely joking. Day deserves something, I think, and will probably get it. but whether in the shape of an appointment by the gover nor, or to a land office by the president, is uncertain. I don't think Maratta is after the auditorship, as he has a good office now." Judge Becker was quiet as to his own candidacy and would neither confirm or deny the rumor that he longs to fill the of ficial shoes of Attorney General Enele. Attorney Carland, as usual, was exceed ingly reticent on the subject of politics, and professed ignorance of everything connected with political matters in the territory. Like Capt. Maratta, he is en route to Deadwood, where he will represent the government at the approaching session of the United States court. -JENNY HAN\AFI*«. His Method of < acting a Tem- perance -fleeting-. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Jan. 14.— I found Denny Ilannaliu to-day pacing up and down the main corridor of the capitol in an uneasy sort of a way. I approached Denny and shook hands with him. Denny shakes hands in much the same way that a well trained dog would hand you his front foot if you asked him to give you his paw. lt is a cold, clammy, motionless sort of a shake, and chills your blood rather than gives you the impression that you have hold of a certain portion of a human being. Denny remarked that this was the third time that he had visited the capitol building since its erection, lie incidentally stated that he had taken a meat deal of interest in its removal from Yankton, and when the North Dakota clans put their shoulder to the wheel of the dump cart that took it from the South Dakota city and dumped it on the plains of North Dakota, he joined the rest of the gang and helped push the dump cart northward. "1 m only a small, msignincent sort of a Democrat nowadays." said Denny. "I might be a commodore if I owned a yawl on the Missouri river or a steamboat with a wheel attached to the behind end to kick it up and down the valley, but I don't, and I'm AH 111. Mil ■ DEMOCRAT and a d — d humble one, too. I have been right her« in this town for the last thirteen years, and been a, delegate to every Demo cratic convention held in this county, but I don't ask any odds of these big guns. I get along without them lirst-rate, and tbey don't bother inc. I went round and bought up all the small claims for $100, $500 aud $1,000, held by people on this capitol build ing. You see the capitol was built by a subscription of $100,000, made up by the people of Bismarck, and many of the citizens paid as low as .5, and the sums ranged up ward till they reached into tbe thousands. I went around and bought up all these small claims that I could get hold of, a sort of spec ulation, you see. 1 reckon the grass will bo as green on my grave as a feather on an Irishman's hat on St. Patrick's day before I realize anything off the venture, but then I took a chance, lt is like placing your money on the eagle when you are playing roulette. If the ball stops on the bird you get twenty seven lor one. Denny had the reputation at one time of being the boss gambler of the Missouri river valley. That was several years ago, when it paid a man to play a strictly honest name, and each player protected his pile with A seven shooter. This is the kind of game that Denuy plays nowadays. He has not departed from the time rule. He believes that honesty is the best policy, and when he gets mixed up iu a game with modern gamblers he in variably gets the worst of it, for they will -■heat, and that is something that Denny loesn't know how to do and do it success fully. ' Denny plays but little poker nowa iays. He is paying attention to reforma- ory movements. A short time ago he or- ganized a temperance society, and one even- ng delivered an address that drew to the society hall one of the largest and most select audiences that has ever greeted a speaker in Bismarck. He poured out his Eloquence for an hour and a half and was piietly and attentively listened to by his uiditors, who frequently applauded his ■ratory. At the close of the meeting he to- iled a couple of deacons of the Baptist hutch down to Griffin's saloon to have a ink. •'I thought you was a temperance man?" jaculated the deacons in some surprise. "So I am," replied Denny, "but I'm d — d if 'in a tot al abstainer. If you don't want to ome and drink with me you can make a neak. 1 propose to moisten my weazen be- ore I go atween the sheets." And bidding the astonished deacons good light. Denny tipped his hat on the back of is head, sauntered round the corner to Iriffin's saloon, where he absorbed his cus- omary night cap. Tee Aitch.

"NTO- 1 5 NEEDS OF THE RED MAN Readable Report of Supt. Riley on the Condition of the Indian Schools of Dakota. The Territory Has Fifty Such Institutions Wholly or Partly Supported by Uncle Sam. But Three of These Industrial Schools —The Indian Should be Edu- cated at Home. Recommendations In Regard to a Training School, Indian Hos- pitals and Other Matters. Speeial to t he Globe. Washixgtox, Jan. 14.— The Indian schools in Dakota, according to the report of Supt. Riley this year, are improving in character from year to year. Dakota has more Indian schools than any other state or territory in the United States, and her people seem lo be more thoroughly inter ested in the whole subject of Indian educa. tion than the people of any other sectic of the country. There are in Dakota ju fifty Indian schools. These are supporte in whole or in part by the government. The expenditure by the government for last year was something over 3120,000. Of these fifty schools eight are mission schools maintained by religious societies. Most of these are ordinary day schools which carry the little Indian boys and girls simply through the rudimentary books. There are in tho whole number, however, fifteen boarding schools where pupils are kept wholly under the control of their teachers and are taught more thoroughly the ways of civilization. There are but three indus trial schools — that established by Rev. Thomas L. Riges at Oahe, fifteen miles north of Pierre, the industrial school at THE SISSETON AGENCY and the school at Yankton. Many of the Indian youth of Dakota, however, are sent to the Santee normal and industrial school on the Sautee reservation in Nebraska, where Rev. Mr. Biggs has built up an institution which is regarded by the Indian oflice here as in all probability the most practical and helpful of its kind in the country. It has turned out excellent In dian mechanics and demonstrated that there is a practical advantage in educating the Indian in his own country rather than in sending him to the East, where a change of climate and an exaggerated shifting of social relations inflate his mind with ideas of life which he might better never have received. The proportion of Indians edu- cated in industrial arts on the reservations who succeed when they go back to their tribes is much larger than that sent out by the industrial schools located on the At- lantic sea board. Missionary societies have expended during the past year for Indian j schools in Dakota something over 528,000. I This amount HAS BE-..* EXPENDED under tlie Board of Home Missions, Presby terian church; American Missionary asso ciation. Congregational church; the Bureau, of Catholic Indian missions; Board of For eign missions, Presbyterian church and Protestant Episcopal church. The govern ment, through the commissioner of Indian affairs, has at many of these schools paid a certain contract sum for each pupil. There used to be a time when different rates were paid for these pupils, but Commissioner Atkins has established the uniform allow ance of .08 per annum in Dakota and other territories, except New Mexico. Ari zona and California, where S150 is .allowed because of the greater expense., of:? njainte nance. Many of the missionaries in private schools receive no pay for their services, and give their lives as a dedication to the work of Indian education. Superintendent Riley says that to this self-sacrificing devo tion is largely due the civilization and pres ent prosperous condition of many of tho tribes. lie earnestly recommends that these good people should all receive the en couragement and co-operation of the gov ernment employes. During the past year there has been employed in Dakota thirteen new day schools at the various agencies. The school at Fort Stevenson, Dak., by au thority of Secretary Lamar, HAS BEEN SEPARATED from the control of the Indian agent at that place and put in charge of a bonded super- intendent. The school occupies the build- ings formerly occupied for military pur- poses, which have been thoroughly repaired and enlarged so as to accommodate 250 pu- pils. The superintendent says that gradu- • ates of reservation schools in Northern Montana should be sent there for instruc- tion in mechanical trades, for which pur- pose the buildings and outfit are well adapted. Of the Sioux in Dakota, Mr. Riley says that they are not only willing, but anxious to have their children taught. He recommends that a large industrial school be established for the Sioux r# pro- vided for in the treaty of 18G8. This treaty provides that a school house and teacher for every thirty children be furnished by the government, which has never been done, and Mr. Riley thinks the government is now indebted by solemn treaty obligations to the Sioux to the amount of $2,500,000, A training school, he thinks, should be es- tablished near the Great Sioux reservation in Dakota, and graduates of the day and reservation schools should be sent there for higher instructions. This he regards as only an act of PARTIAL JUSTICE to people who have been so long deprived! of higher educational facilities. As to the general question of Indian capability, Mr. Riley says that there can be no doubt that the Indian is progressing towards the white man's way of living and thinking, but he does not believe that educated Indian boys md girls can be expected to depend upon -.heir education for a living when they go sack to the reservations where their fathers md mothers live upon the rations issued by ,he government for their support. Under favoring conditions the Indian, he says, is billing to work and apt to learn. The schools will be found,tlie most potent fac- ors in breaking up tribal relations and eading the Indians to engage in agricult- ual pursuits. When the Indian lands are old and the proceeds applied to the main- enance of schools for Indian youth, and lie adult Indians take to working for a liv- ng, the young people who have been edu- ated will have more chance in life and heir learning will have a market. As it is, t is simply sunk in a mass of ignorance and avage pauperism. Mr. Riley especially loints out that the peaceable condition of .11 Indian tribe does not argue its prosper- ty and PROGRESS IN CIVILIZATION; hat many of the most peaceable tribes are he most degraded. We believe the time las come to establish Indian libraries, where he young children who have been taught to ead English books may go on with their ending and cultivate a love of literature. le also thinks that the Indian children hould be instructed ' in the nature of lcoholic drinks and narcotics, so that there nay be disseminated anions: the tribes a :nowledge of the evils that lie in intemper- Hnce. He points out the fact that nearly Hll of the Indian schools are without hos- Hital facilities, and recently.it became neces- Hiry to disband one ot the schools because Hf the appearance of a contagious disease. It many of the agencies there are no facili- Hes whatever for the care of the sick. The Hhysician may do all he - can. but if an Hndian becomes seriously sick there is very Httle chance of his recovery. lie is left in His tepee with all the squalid surroundings Hud neither nursing nor medicine can do . Hindi good for him. The attention of con- Hress is earnestly called by this report to H* is necessity. _r — — Holder oi ncuei.vu. 22 Will please bring ticket and claim ; musto box at McLain's, 884 Wabasha street *.
