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

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

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.
