True, she was the mother of the little b ys n wconfined within the walls of the jail of Clay county, Thelr immediate proximi y to the scene of the murder ot Mr. Rbbivs his never been denied—th:ie participancy in that crime hes never been proven. Neither has it even been shown that she waa cogn'zant of that crime until after its occurrence. Certainly then she could not have been an accossory before the fact, and on the same lize of reaconing, she should not have bean calicd upon to euffer the pen- alty of it after its commitment, and that too upcn & chain of circumstantial evi- dence which shows that her culy interest has been to entertain those ten- der feellngs of maternal af- fection which cnuses every mother to etand up for their chiidren, be they right or be they wrovg So much for Ms. Taglor.

The Bee has no quar- rel with Senator Manderson and no dis- positlon to do him any injustice. On the contrary it will give us pleasure to com- mend him whenever his conduct subserves the publlc interest. Our course in the pest certainly does not indicate that we have any prejudice, against the senator. We ramembor that within the last fow months when the senator socured the passage of the bridge bill we gave him full oredit for his work, and commended him highly for his effort to make Omaha a port of entry. * Our opposition to commissions of every kind and detcription is well known. We have always deprecated congressional junketing tours and have but little faith in them row. Whethor atour to Alaska by & commlttee of senators would prove of advantage to the government we sincerely doubt. It strikes us that if any investl- gation Is needed in Alaska 1s could be onsily doneby speclal agenta of the gov- ernment who are employed for such pur- poses. Senator Manderson's roference to the Misslssippl commission does not in the last affect us. We don't believe in a junket- ing tour up and down the Mlississippi rleer any more than we do in such a tour from Omaha to Alaska or from Washing. ton to South America. e e THE NORTHWEST REBELLION. The rebellion In the Canadisn north west territory, which the Dominion newspapers have all along ridiculed, has suddenly grown to be s serious sffair, re- sulting in bloodshed. It seems that the trouble is of an agrarlan character, and is not confined to Riel and his half-breeds, but is extendivgamong the whitesubjeote. Toe Indiens maintain that the terms of their treaty have not been fairiy observ- €d by the Dominion government, while the white eetilers find fault with the ad- ministration of affsira on tne part of the land cflico, One of the principal abuses to which they have been subjscted is the long delay in getting thelr claims enter-d. Furthormore, that gigantic monopoly known as the Hudson Bay Company is permitted by the government, by which it is fostered and encouraged, to rob them by compelling them to sell thelr preduce and fais at rldic- ulously low figures and to buy supplles at its own stores, thus “whip- sawing” them at every turn. The hilf- breeds are treated in the same way in this matter. But the direct cause of the outbresk is their inability to secure titles to their lands, which for some inex- plicable reason the government continues to withhold from them. As far back as 1870 the Manitoba half-breeds were given by law 240 acres of land ench, but the ha/f-breeds north of Manitcba have not been provided for in a similar man- ner, as in all justice they should have been, for some of thelr settlements were started over twenty years ago. They have not even been glven the free pat- ents to which the squatters ara entitled, and when the country was recently sur veyed the half-breed claims, which are in narrow stiips running back from the river front, were wholly disregarded, and the land was laid out in square sections Smart'ng under the injustice done them, the half-breeds presented to the Damin- ion parliament lact fall a bill of righis, as follows: Firat, the subdivision into provinces of the northwest territori 8; second, the half-breeds to recoive the same grants and other advan. tages as the Manitoba half-breeds; third, patants to bo issued at once to the colonists in possession; fourth, the sale of half a mil- lion acres of dominion lands, the proceeds to b applied to the establishment in the half- breed settlement of echools, hospitals and such-like institutions, and to the equipment of the poorer half-breeds with seed grain and implements; fifth, the reservatlon of a hun-- dred townships of swamp land for distribu- tion among the children of bali-breeds during the next 120 years; sixth, a grant of at least $1,00) for the maintenance of an institution 10 be conducted by the nuns in each half breed settlement; and seyenth, better pro- vision for the support of the Indians, 1t would seem that such fair demands as are embodied in this bill of rights should have been granted at once, but no attention was pald to the matter. Under all theee clroumstances it should create no surprise that the half-breeds have re- belled, and the Cunadlan government may find that the outbreak is no child’s play. O course the government can and will suppress the rebelllon, but it 1s hoped that the demonstration on the part of the half-breeds and their while allles and sympathizers will havo.a salutary effect and result in securing justice to these op- pressed subjects of Queen Victorta, The Canadian parlisment is naturally enough very much excited over the situa- tion, and evidently comprehends that it Is an afiair of no small msgnitude, espe cislly in view of the fact that all the Indisns In the Qanadian territory sre known to be uneasy, and throsteniog to rise and aid Ricl and his confederates, and that some of the United States In- dians are llable to join them., The presi- dent of the Canadian Paclfic, the *'char- tored oppressor’ of the northwest, bas become #0 alarmed that he has impressed upon the government the advlsabllity and importance of settllng the clalms of the bali-breeds and ettlers at once, otherwise cific is & government tatlon, built|no other Iabors to perform than to call & almost entirely ont of subsidies, which |convention it is material.

Ho is an extensive brick manufacturer wnd builder. For mary years ho was as soola‘ed with Semuel Cafforty, and since Mr. Cafforty’s death he has been in busi- ness with Mr. Olsen under the firm name of Balley & Olsen. Mr. Bailoy bas always employed a large number of men, and has covs'ractod many of the best build- ngs in Omaha.

He did not seck tha nomination, and it was only at the esrnest eolicitation of his many frionds that he accepted it. He has never held any public ofilce, and in entering the clty councll he is certalnly making a saorifice on his part to serve the public.

Is Mr. Boyd the embodiment of non-partianship? Is he the only man in Omaha fit to administer the effairs of this city. Isnot the de- liberato bolt of the Republican a sinister design on the one hand to play into the the haods of the democratic syndicate of MiMer, Boyd & Oo., which just at present boasts of po'ential influence with Grover Oleve'and ; and, on the other hand, does not the Rapublican expect to drive » fow aalls Into Vau Wyob's coffin through the gon-parlisan meyor who cacries & sen- atorlal bee in his boenet?
