The bill introduced it the senatu by
Mr , hill , of Colorado , to establish a
postal telegraph is in every respect the
most practical proposition since the first
postal telegraph bill was introduced by
Congressman Washburn , in 1870. Mr.
11111 very propdrly takes it for granted
that a complete system of postal tole.
graphy will rcquiro the purchase of all or
nearly all the existing telegraph lines.
The contemplated change cannot be
rondo within a few weeks , or oven
months , but will necessarily take several
years , Mr. Hill proposes that on and
after July 1st , 1887 , messages shall be
transmitted by telegraph telephone , or
other device , from all postaficos in the
United States that now forward letters
by ( nail , The ] xlstniaster general is also
authorized to establish telegraph offices
where they may be required to facilitate
intercourse in the largo cities , indepemd

be published by the postnastor general
to existing telegraph companies to dis
pose of their lines and apparatus to the
government. The contracts for the pur
chase are to be submitted to congress for
approval , and their consideration to have
precedetco over all other business except
regular appropriation bills. The charge
for transmission of uessages between all
places in the United Status is to be ono

and sigunturo. Reduced but uniform
rates are to be made for the press , and

There trot a time when to be road out

journal ] mad as miumh terror as the Pope's
bull of oxconnmumication hind during
the middle ages. To be road out of
party was to be a political outcast with
wlmoni no true party man would associate
and whami every rank partizan would
shun as a leper. 1u those days ovary
voter was a bigoted partir'w , who believed -
lieved his party never could do wrong ,
and who looked upon everybody of opposite -
posite political faith as an enemy. That
was during time civil war and the tout
years following it , when the republican
was the union party , and democrats were
copporheads.

Thu. SIOUX REsh'RI'ATION
Congress will be called upon to take

of Dakota urgemtly demand it , and are
putting forth every effort to secure this
desired result at once , so that time reservation -
vation can be utilized early next spring.
There are ntunorous good reasons why
this reservation should no longer remain
a forbidden land to white settlers , amid
the nrgutuents in favor of its being
thrown open for settlenoit arc tnmmi-
swerablo.
The reservation embraces over forty.
eight thousand square miles , it extends
northward fromr the southern boundary
of time territory a distance of two hundred.
and forty miles , and runs westward from
time Missouri river two hundred miles ,
'I'bis vast tract of valuable land is bold
by twenty-four thousand Indians , who
occupy and utilize but a vary small per. .
tion of it. It is the lnst body of public
hod , of any extcut , that lmomcstoaders
can reap Amy benefit from , and were it
opened for rsettloment to niorrow it
would be all taken up by actual settlers
within thirty days , and within two or
tlmree years it would be converted into a
rich agricultural region , dotted hero and
there with flourishing towns and villages.
At present it is a great ; barrier to time
advancenment of time Black Hills district ,
and is an obstruction to time commerce of
that rich section. So long as the router-
vatiomi remains closed to civilization no
railroads can cross it , and thins time Black
hills and time vast extent of territory beyond -
yond are cut oil' front time rest of the country -
try , except by wagoums trains and stage
coaches. The people of the Black hills
arc now pnyimg two amid a half cents per
pound for frcigimt transportation to amid
front time nearest railroad terminus , mid
their a muual freight bills amount to
$2,500,000. The Black hills country ,
coitaimimig 7,000 square miles , is one of
the richest and most wonderful rogionsin
