SENATOR MANDERSON AND ALASKA. In jnttlce to Senator Mandoraon we publish a letter from that gentleman which corrects aftlio impreeslon concern ing hla motive In tbo propotod Alaska iu- vestlgatlon. Our strictures wore wrlttcr on the spur of the moment Immediately after the debate ovtr the junketing tonn bad reached ns by telegraph , Partloi whom wo had considered tellable had In cldontally roproicntod to us that ono o ! the seal inspectors of Alaska was a relative tivo or intlmato friend of Senator Man lerson. The denial of the senator Is s < ipocifio and positive that wo must fnllj sxonorato him from any mercenary or in eroatcd motives. The BEE has no quar el with Senator Mandorsnn and no dis- loaltlon to do him any injustice. Ou thi ontrary it will give ui pleasure to com mend him whenever his conduct subserve ; lie public interest. Our course in thi iaat certainly does not Indicate tha wo have any prejudice , againi lie senator. Wo remember that Trlthir iho hat few months when the senate lecurod the passage of the bridgb bill wi ; ave him full credit for his work , OIK lommendcA him highly for his effort ti uako Omaha a port of entry. ' Oar opposition to commissions of over ; ind and description ia well known. Wi lave always deprecated congresiiona .unkotlng tours and have but little faltl in them now. Whether a tour to Alaska 17 a commltUo of senators would prova o .dvantago to the government wo alnccrol ; loubt. It atrikes us that if any Investl ; atiou Is needed in Alaska Is could bi taslly done by special agents of the gov irnmont who are employed for such pur Senator Mandoraon's ' reference to th < tlisslsalppl commission docs not in the laa iffeot us. Wo don't bollovo in a junket Ing tour up and down the Misslsalpp rloor any more than wo do in such a ton Tom Omaha to Alaska or from Washing , on to South America. THE NORTHWEST REBELLION. The rebellion In the Canadian noii west territory , which the Domlnioi newspapers have all along ridiculed , ha uddenly grown to bo"a serious affair , re inlting In bloodshed. It eeoms that th ; roublo ia of an agrarian character , and i not confined to Riel and his half-breola ntis oxtendiugaraoDgtho whttoanbjooti Too Indians maintain that the terms c heir treaty have not been fiiriy observ d by the Dominion government , whil ho whlto cottiers find fault with the ad ministration of affilra on tno part of th snd tflicj. Ono of the principal abuse , o which they have been subjected ia thong eng delay in getting tholr claims enter c Furthermore , that gigintlc monopol known aj the Hudson Bay Company I ) ermitted by the government , by whic t ia foatotod and encouraged , to ro , hem by compelling them to so their produce and fata at rldli ulonaly low figureu and to bu lupplies at its own stores , thus "whl ] lawlng" thorn at every turn. The hil breeds are treated in the aamo way i hia matter. But the direct cause of th iiilbroak is their inability to socnr itles to their lands , which for some inej plioablo reason the government continue o vi itbhold from them. As far back a 1870 the Manitoba half-breeds wei given by law 210 acres of land each , be the ha.f-brceds north of Manitoba hav not been provided for in a similar mai ner , aa in all justice they should hav been , for some of tholr settlements wei started over twenty years ago. The have not oven been given the free pa onta to which the squattera ara entltlec and when the country was recently au voycd the half-breed claims , which are i narrow atiips running back from tbo riv f/ent , wore wholly disregarded , and tl land was laid put in square section S-nnitng under the Injustice done then the half'breeda presented to the Domii ion parliament latt fall a bill of rlghl an follows : 1'irit , the subdivision into provinces cf tl northwest territorl a ; second , the half-breec to receive the same grnnta and other ndva : tagca aa tha Manitoba half-breeds ; thir patsnta to bo issued at once to ihe colon ! * ia possession ; fourth , tbo Bale of half a ml lion acres of dominion lands , the proceeds bo applied to tbo establishment in the ha breed settlement of echooU , hospitals at uuch-like institutions , and to tbe equipme of the poorer half-brood H with seed grain m Implements ; fifth , the reservation of a hui dred townships of awarnp land for dlstrlb lion among tbe children of ball-breeds durii tbe next 120 years ; sixth , a grant of at lea $1OOJ for the maintenance of an instituti to be conducted by tbe nnni In each ha breed settlement ; and seventh , better pr rinion for the support of the Indians. It would seem that such fair domsn ai are embodied in this bill of righ should have been granted at once , but i attention was paid to the matter. Und all there circumstances it should cros no surprise that the half-breeds have t belled , and the Canadian governme may find that tbo outbreak is no chile play. Of course the government can ai will suppress the rebellion , but It is hop that the demonstration on the part of t lidf-breeds and their while allies ai sympathizers will have.a salutary efi * and result in securing justice to those o prossul subjects of Queen Victoria , The Canadian parliament is natural enough very much excited over the situ tion , and evidently comprehends tli it Is an allfdir of no small magnitude , esr. clilly in view of the fact that all t Indiana In the Canadian territory known to ho uneaty , and tliroitoniog rise and aid RIol and his ronfederat < and that some of the United States I dlanj are liable to join them. The pro dent of the Canadian Peclfio , the "cbt tared oppresior' of the northwest , b become so alarmed that he has Impress upon the government the advisability ai Importance of settling the clalmi of t bait-breeds and ettlers at once , otherwi the result will be disastrous. The antl- Immigration resolutions passed by the op pressed subjects last year had n serious edict upon Immigration and greatly injured - jurod the prosperity of Manitoba and the adjacent country , and this rebellion will almost outirely ohecK the flow of sottlcn to that region. It will bo soon that the Canadian Pacific will thus bo seriously amsged in ] its passenger and freight Taflic and in the sale of Its lands , and ho consequence will ba that it will be nablo to lasno bonds and its credit wile o naturally depreciated In the EngMsl markets. Inasmuch askho Canadian Pa ifio la a government Institution , bull imost entirely out cf subsidies , whlcl ore greater than those given to tin Union and Central Pacific roads in thii ouutry , the president of that road ma ] ave sufficient idflucnco upon the govern ment to bring about a satisfactory adjustment mont of the difficulties.
