It is practically a declaration offreelom;an assertion of the rights of the west. The domination ofthe cast in the legislation of the country has leen u selishabuso of pover. Acting o the principle that might makesright, the eust heretolore united, regardlessof po- alaflilintions, inspuming the inter esls ofthe vest, The people vere mads ‘“the hewers of wood and drawers of witer” for the monopolies of the older stites, Byreason of suporior numbers, measures of vital importance to thegreat inlandempire vere frequently shelvel tomake way for mesures solely dovisel intheinterest of the east, Desjite this slfish provincialisn the wost grewand expinded, Its mirvel- lois fortility attracted thousands of thrifty tillers and home builders, many ofwhon exchanged a miserable exist- ence on barren, rocky ficlls for a com po- toice in the west Coupled with the wilimited mineral riches of the moun- tuins, responding Luvishly to intelligent toil, hamlets have beome powerful inlustrial and commercial communi- ties, villages ,have become cities, anl the great Amerian desert his given place to productive farms and stockk ranges., Thus the maligned rowdy west, under the impulse of ruggel, fewrless manhood, has become the great productive empire of the country, The men who have led the marehof civilzation and development, who have fashioned sfates and built >s,whohave opmed the highways that guided hundreds of thousands to piths of usefilnes, fame and wealth, inpressed their followers with a spirit oflofty independence, which is grad- wlly and effectively asserting itself. The present isthe first congress which his folt the expanding political power ofthewest. What little has been ac- cmplished in legislation serves to show the necessity of greter unity and inde- pndence among its representatives on all matters affecting the welfareof the west. Therepublicans of the First district of Nebraska sound the keynote of future wtion. They pronounce for independ- ent and unitedaction onall western in- terests, regurdless of the ediots of party caucus, —— A SCOREOr more of years ago the freedmen of thesouth werea sourc e of considerable amoymce to the provis- imal governors of the rebellious states, from the fact that cach and everyone of them was clamoring for a “forty acre triet of land and & mule,” It has never transpired thatany person in authority - promised the forty acres,or the mule, but it took a long time to disabuse the mind ofthefrecdmen from that delusion of great expectations. A parallel case, though mot of such magnitude, is liable togive tho Sioux Tndinnagency in Da- kota some trouble. Many of them who have taken their alloiment of land in sevenilty are gambling on their greut riches of the future, *h of them ex- pectsin addition tohis land two milch cows, one pair of horses, a Lot of agricul- tualimplements, and fifty dollars in ash. In this they will only b disap- pinted asto the cish, and they muy havethat, if the agency expends it for them. This guardiunship of the moncy is what the Indimn objects to, for the remson that no ‘agency™ will coment to expend it at a gamllingboe, and that is the oily way an Inlian can enjoy a dollar or fifty of thern, Ttis possible a compromise my be agroed upon betveen the Sioux and someof the sharper and more thrilly agents that will stisfy all concernd and assist indissipating, very speedily, the surplus, or the superfuous cash bonus for good behavior and o taxed citizenship.
