We have gone further than all that, and fought out to a successful issue in the to direct what material thoy desire to use for paving the streots adjacent to their property. The outcome of all the agita- tion over paving has been the selection of the two bost materials known for pay- ing purposes, namely, stone blocks of granite formation, and sheet asphaltum laid on a concrete base. During the past year over two miles and a half of these pavements have boen laid down, and they are undergoing the test which alone can demonstrate their adaptability to our soil and climate. It is admitted at the outset (hat asphalt, ewing to its smoothness, cannot compete with granite or stone block on stroots with a heavy incline. It is also claimed, and perhaps with good reason, that stone blocks are more durable for streets ex- clusively devoted to heavy traffic. On the other hand the asphalt pavement ex- cels all others for easy travel, cleanli- noss and noiselessness. It has been given preference in leading cities in Furope and America for light traf- fic thorough fares that are nearly level.

A PROPER VERDICT, Tho verdict of the coronet's jury in the case of the woman who was killed by Snell, the saloon-keeper from Valentine, was an eminently proper one. It maybe true that the death of Jessie Snell, alias Wright, was in a measuro the result of an accident, but the circumstances under which that so-called accident occurred warranted the jury in holding Mr. Snell to answer to the charge of manslaughter. Tt e man and the woman were drunk to- gother at a notorious road house. Snell, who had been a c)whoy, and had been promoted to the position of saloon- keeper, camo to Omaha to have a sproe, and he brought with him his cowboy habits as well as the inevitable revolver. At the road house he could not resist the temptation to exhibit and flourish his re- volver, and the wonder is that, cowboy- like, he did not bang away at the mirror, the glassware and the lamps, or shoot the buttons off of Major Croft's coat or the woman's dress. While thus playfully amusing himself, probably not intending to kill anybody, the woman grabbed hold of the revolver, very likely to make him putit up. A struggle ensued—a report was heard. The revolver had gone off, and the poor, degraded woman was dead. It was but the work of an inatant. This is what some people call an acci- dent. But, if no worse, it was a criminal accident, and Mr. Snellshould not be al- lowed to go unpunished. In the first place he was committing an unlawful act in getting druuk and being disorderly; in the second place he was breaking the law by carrying a concealed weapon. The woman's death was the consequence of Snell's unlawful acts, and his offense comes with the terms of manslaughter. The carrying of revolvers may be all right on the frontier where life is not valued very highly, but in civilized cities like Omaha there is no necessity for a man making a walking arsenal of him- sel. The only excuse Snell can offer is that it had become second nature with him, and the carrying of a revolver was a8 common with him as having 8 jack knite in his pockei. The case against him will very likely be prosecuted, and some punishment may possibly be in- flicted upon him, as people are begin- ning to think that thero are too many such accidents, and that some steps ought to be taken to put a stop to them. INDIAN LANDS. The proposition to give to the Indians their lands in severalty and thus make them individual land owners, is meoting with general favor. The senate commit- tee on Indian affairs is said to endorse it, and a bill providing for suchan allot- ment will probably be reported favorably atan early day. The matter has been fully discussed by the committee. The bill introduced by Senator Coke, of Texas, which includes all the features of the proposed legislation, provides that reservations suitable for grazing or agri- cultural purposes, shall be surveyed or re-surveyed, if necessary, and that an allotment in severalty to the Indians shall be made. This shall be done,how- ever, only in such cases where the In- dians have progressed sufficiently in civi- lization to warrant the belief that they would sooner or later become self-sus- taining, and that their best interests would be served by an allotment of the lands, If any Indian entitled to an allovment shall fail to make a selection within five years after the president shall direct a division, then an agent shall, under the direction of the secrefary of the interior, decide upon the allotments, and patents shall be 1ssued accordingly. Any Indian not residing upon a reservation can make settloment upon any lands of the United States not otherwise appropriated, and the fees for the local land office shall be pad by the government, The United States will hold the lands thus allotted in trust for the Indians for twenty-five years, at the end of which time they will convey the same by patent free of all charge or en- cumbrance to said Indians or their heirs. This provision is to prevent sales in the meantime, and any contract or convey- ance which may be made before the ex- piration of the time mentioned will be de- olared null and void: The consent of two-thirds of the male members of each tribe must first be obtained, however, before the provisions of the act shall ex- tend to any tribe of Indians as such. That the Indians can become self-sus- taining there is but little doubt. It has been demonstrated among certain tribes, The Omahas and Winnebagoes, now lo- cated in Nebraska, are engaged in agri- cultural pursuits, and are quite prosper- ous. They are self-sustaining or nearly s0. The Sioux Indians, which were classed among the most war-like and un- tameablo tribes, are advancing quite rapidly in civilization, and there is every reason to believe that within a very few years they can be made self-supporting. The Sioux Indians at Pine Ridge agency are being greatly aided and encouraged in their efforts to learn the white man’s way of makiug a living, Many of them have built houses and furniture, and live and labor like white folks. They receive wages for doing certain werk, and in every instance where an Indian sees that he can earn something for himself he be- comes ambitious to increase his proficiency in hopes of a cor- responding increase in remuneration for his services. The Sioux are in good condition to recoive their lands in sev- eralty, so that each family can become independent. The government, of course, would have to aid them for a few years until they become acquainted with the methods of farming, stock-raising, ete. The division ef the lauds in severalty will serve to break up the tribal rela- tions, and make each family dependent upon its own efforts for support. 1t will make ench Indian responsible for his individual acts. There is now before congress a treaty with the Sioux for a reduction of their vast reser- vation so that a great portion of it can be thrown for settlement, and every effort is being made by the people of Dakota to have it ratified. If the treaty is ratified, and a bill for the allot- ment of Indian lands in soveralty is passed, the Sioux Indians ander the pro- open visions of the bill would each have as much land as a white man can the government. The plan of division, according to Sena tor Ooke's bill, will be as follows To each head of a family, one-quarter of a soction; to each orphan under 18 years of age, one-eighth of a section, and to each person under 18 years, one-sixteenth of a section, Where there is not suffic- ient land to be divided as above, then the reservation shall be allotted pro rata. Where the lands on any reservation are mainly valuable for grazing purposes, an additional allottment shall be made, and any two or more Indians who 'shall agree to use their lands in common may do so. 1t 18 believed by those who have stud- ied the Indian problem that the abolish- ment of the reservation systom, and the substitution of the allotment in severalty, accompanied with government aid for a reasonable period of time, will do more towards civilizing the wards of the nation than any thing that has yet been pro- posed. . obtain from Wairkraw Keip, who is an aspirant to the United States senate, has given some advice to the ropublicans in the New York legislature as to the course they should follow to make a record that will carry that state next fall for the republi- can prosidential ticket. Mr. Reid says: “‘A short, wholesome, fruitful session, full of good works for the people and the despair of the lobby,will prove a weighty campaign document. He sorves his party best who serves the people best.” The advice is good, but it comes from a poor source. The New York Star point- edly asks: *‘Can this Mr. Reid, who hopes to dis- concert the wicked lobbyists and monopo- lists, be the same Editor Reid whose T'ribune has not yet heard of the Hunt- ington-Colton correspondence? So guile- less and unsophisticated an editor should not be sent to congress. He could never resist the wiles of the bunco men and other plausible deceiverswho lurk around the capitol, laying snares for gentle ideal- ists of his kind."” Artnovcn elected senator it seems that Payne did not succeed in quieting the troubled waters of Ohio by his liber- al pouring out of Standard oil upon the waves, which are yet rolling high. Barking for a Dying Cause. Hubbell Register. Some of the state monopoly papers who are envious of the success of THE OMAHA Bek, are barking long and loud. Fhe great thunderers have set the example and the feeble political prophets are fol- lowing. Go on gentlemen, you have but a few short years more to defend your cause. THE Bee will continue to be, as it now is, the best newsy paper in the state. 2 e THE PRESS GANG.

Some Features of Freight Charges, To the Laditer of Tun Brn. $1. Epwanns, Booxr Cousty, Neb., January 10, 1884.—The Omaha Republi- can says in a late issue, “‘Let us have facts about this railroad issue;” meaning that if the railroads have overcharged anyone they would bo glad to hear of it. Well, I think the people of this county can bear evidence of their extortion. In the first place they charge us for hauling our grain from here to Omaha, a dis- tance of 130 miles, 18 cents per hundred, which is about 11 cents per bushel for our corn, or 865 por car, which is a direct steal of at least $30on every car we sell. Yes, sir; we are robbed in every conceivable manner. I will give an instance. Mr. Bristol, a farmer, wanted to ship a car of oats to Denver. The agent tock aown his printed schedule of rates and found that the rate was 53 cents per hundred on grain. Well, he shipped, and when the freight was paid at Denver, they raised it to 65 cents per hundred, or about 22 cents per bushel, or 8176 for a car of 800 bushels. Now, is this not robbery by wholesale? It ¢ tainly is a direct steal of $110 on a sin- gle car from here to Denver. Is it an wonder the people are kicking? But am happy to say that that the clouds are breaking away, and I can see the dawn of a brighter day. The people are waking up to a sense of duty, and the rings both great and small are becoming somewhat ‘‘warped.” This county is republican by 600 majority on straight republiccan_principles. But the oppo- nents of railroad extortion and ring rule united on a people’s ticket and elected all except school superintendent by from majority. The way the cappers is like this: They put up some capper like Thompson—who excels in nothing but “‘monkeying” with his neigh- bor's wife—and brand him republican, and then with a flourish of trumpets call on the faithful to “vote the way you shot.” Thero was a time when it ap- pealed to our loyalty. But to-day it ex- cites only our derision and contempt. It would be impossible forthis rail-road rob- bery to exist but for the snbsidised press of both parties, of which Doc Miller and Fred Nye are among the conspicuous. Yes, sir; if Fred wants the opinion of the people, and especially of him, ke shall have it, and it is this: that we be- lieve that every bite of bread and butter which enters his foul mouth, is simply the earning of bribery and corruption too vile to name. Butlet Tue Bee go on with the good work, so that in the near future we can say; ‘‘Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been ruler over few things, we now make thee ruler over many.” AvrpHA.
