The report notes an important fact , as fol lows : The years of the present adtmnistratloi have been marked to a notable dogruo by th expansion of the public domain for pnvat settlement. Tlio history of tno opining of the now In dian purchase in Oklahoma under the procla mation of the president , on September 2- 1801 , IB given , when nearly a million acre : were taken by settlers between noon am dark ; while 'J.718 Indians were elevated ti citizenship by taking allotments of 1UO acrci each. Judging the future from the past , It Is sale wo may expect soon to see thoao hundreds o thousands of ucios not only supporting i great and prosperous community , but fur iilshlng n market for our domestic mauufac turos and pouring surplus agricultural pro ducts Into the central markets of our coun * ' - try. For it is n significant fact that a ship tnent by special train of a cargo of wheat : from the Oklahoma lands Hvst opened bj proclamation on April as , 1SSO , was recoivot ij in August lust at ono of the "Armour" ole ' vators at Chicago , and the population ha ; already reached bO.OOO. Tno other Indian reservations also opcnot f are described aim ft summary given of those Holds for now colonies of our people. Over 10,000 Indians have already become cltizous of the United States , mid about 4OOC , i inriro by taking their allotments have sig nified their desire to become citizens , Tc these numborsbhould bo added the 7,019 In > diuns in Oklahoma who have taken or agreed to take allotments. A total of U7H9 ( Indian ! naturalized , and total of acres acquired foi ij settlement of about Ii3,000,000 during the * present administration nlono. il The number of agricultural patents , whicb Includes these for homesteads and pro- i emptlons.

The number of agricultural patents , whicb includes tnoso tor homesteads , Issued foi I 1889 was 70,111 ; for Ib'JO ' , 117,247 , and for 1891 , 114l(10 | and there wire loft of ilnal entries for such lands nt the end of the lust llscal yoav , Juno HO , IbOl , only 84,173. Much prominence is given in the report tc tlio subject of resorvolis and Irrigation ditches h' for storing surplus water of the streams and ) l convoying it to arid lands. The secretary deems this subject ono of gtent and pressing < Importance , and renewing the recommenda tions made in his previous rooort urges that congress bo advised to enact , without delay , comprehensive laws determining the national Policy upon this subject. vi L'uliliu Timber. ' ' Referring to the net ot March 3 , IbOt ' which authorizes the cuttiuc of timber upon 1 the public lands , subject to the rules of the t department , the secretary states that , while this act was desirable in some of Its pro- i visions , it would seem to require further | amendment. Experience has shown It to bo I very dlfllcult to preserve .tho public timber , under laws Imposing penalties for trespassers - ' ors , and It can not bo doubted that punish ment will bu much loss certain for violations of department regulations. It is urgently recommended that congress taUo action to have reservations established as national parks , or gran ted to the states to bo pre served unimpaired nnd used lor the benollt of the public only. Notice is taiton of several parks thus already preserved , and It is stated more are being prepared for proclamation. The act of congress approved September 29 , 1800 , dcclau'd forfeited unoaincd railroad lauds , and ordering their restoration to the pnbllo domain , relieves from suspension many cases involving lands In railroad limits whore a portion or all of the roan was built , although out of timo. The bonollts resulting will redound to the settlers who long ago pur chased their farms from railroad companies and nro now cultivating the soil. Indian Affairs. While It is not claimed that perfection has yet been i cached In the Indian service , It is mentioned that in the common judgment of these familiar with and Interested lu the welfare of the Indians ibis service has boon greatly Improved. Tlio Indian population is reported as 200,483 , exclusive ot natives of Alaska. The number of Indian youth en rolled nnd the average attendance In the schools has increased. The Indians , as a rule , have consented BO readily to send their children to sciiool that It was not found nec essary Immediately to enforce attendance as authorized by act of March 3 , Ib'.ll. The grout body of the dllloront tribes bavo become qulto in favor of schools under the c-aro of which their Intoroats have been advanced. The work accomplished by the different commissions , authorized by congress , to treat with the Indians Is reviewed by the secretary ut length , and an account Is given of tbo trooblos with the Sioux which culminated in the light with that trlbo on the .Pino Ridge reservation in December , IS'.X ) .

A surplus of | l&7,291.t.U was turned Into the treasury to the credit , of the patent fund. iii'o'oKionl Survey. The secretary invites particular attention to the report of the director of tbo geological survey. To its investigations and to the uld U has clvon In ascertaining and mapping the distribution of of rooks , minerals , and ores , fruitless labor in prospecting Is avoided , the cost of production diminished , and prices proportionately reduced. In addition to the direct work upon mineral resources , topographic surveys have been fxtoudcd over an area agKregatlut ; 493JO , square- mlles In thlrly-nino states and tori lories covering nearly one-sixth of tl area of the United States , fcmrvoyi wei made during the year of 148 cites f Irrigation reservoirs thirty-three In Oa forma , forty-six In Colorado , twenty-eight Montana , two In Nevada , nnd thlrty-nlno Now Mexico.

To Iho Edilor of Tni Buc : Several latts expressions In TUB Br.i ( indicate a difference of opinion as to the paj of Iho election oflicers. While it is trud < that section 24 of chaptoi 28 , Compiled Statutes of Nebraska , provides thai "in eltios ot tno first-class Judges and clerks of election , & , hall each receive the sum of ? 0 for each election hold in said city , " and that this section- ; once xvas applicable lo Omaha , ills certainly true lhat section 13 of chapter 2la , enacUyl. Jn 1S87 , superseded the other section above referred fp , so far as cities of the molropoliiau and llrst-class arc concerned. It provides that "judges of elec tion anel poll clerks appointed iu pursuance of Iho provisions of Ihib chapter snail each bo ontlllod to receive ? ! ! per day for each day's so rvico at any registration or election , which compensation shall bo paid on the cer tificate of the city clerk ns to the period of service , " etc. As in elections Other than Iho city elections the election ofliceirs me allowed only $2 a day , and in this eae the three elections were conducted by the same officers and at the same time , perhaps the only difficult ques tion is , whether the officers shall each bo paid $3 or * 2 a day. It seems to bo a fact thatsiomo of tbo election boards , which were made up mostly of men of undoubted coin- potency , consumed forty hours or moro in the work. For Ihis lime Ihoy are entitled to either S2 or & ! for each Ion hours , if not for each eight hours ; and perhaps it is as rqasonablo to say the daily rate should bo 83 as'to say it should bo $2. The conclusion follows that the authorities who employed these mon cannot discharge their obligations to them by the payment of SO to each. There is good reason to believe that each of them could enforce the payment of about txvico that amount , and xvould then have no more than fair pay. B. F. COUIIIAX. Hero's Something Xesxv.

Tno orohlbition question and what the legislature will do xvitti It this winter is a never ending source of discussion. The moro it is looked at the greater the ditllculty up- pears to bo. Republicans nro doing most of the talking , and no two of them seotn to exactly agree. It Is moro thnn likely , how ever , that some sore of plan will bo mapf od out before the winter is over. On the demo cratic sldo the elctrioo of license will bo an obstacle to overcome. Kvery locality seems to have Its own idea of what "high" license is. At Davenport , for Instance , it Is said Ihnt the license has never been over $100 n \-car \ , and a prominent gentleman of that city said the other day that ho was Joubtful If any greater amount could bo enforced any moro than ibsoluto prohibition. A prominent democrat if DPS Molnes staid recently that ho thought ? 2r > ( ) was as high as c'ould bo enforced in most cities. The democratic platform placed : ho amount at $ oOO and the least amount lu my compromise measure that could bo cn- lorsed by republicans would be S7SO or 51,000. 1'ho latter amount was once the sum in DCS Molnos , and there wore sixty odd saloons ander it.

The play is described on the illls as a "jolly musical furco comddv , " but Fohu McNally must have boon In a hurry when ho cams to put the mlxturo togctho : Ho evidently forgot tbo comedy , and tl music thnt ho chucked Into it was second hand. Ttioro Is no tnlstaka about the fan or the Jollity , however. The farcn U or n rollicking , rip-snortlti kind that goes roaming up and down tli stngo for two solid acts with scaivcly p uno for music or specialty. It is as queer conglomeration of stntT mid nonsense as an phantasmagoria conjured forth In nigh ! mare. It 1s altogether too wild to bo tame down for measurement by dramatic canon : nnd Is ono of thoao things that are simply I bo taken for granted.

The climax occurs in the second not but the player's art Is strong enough to hnli Interested attention through another act mostly of Ifivomakine , and the play Is calcu latcd to please , as it did at the Boyd las nlirht. Iho story turns upon the schemes of rlva ralliond men to gain possession of a tmiroix pass known ns Rocky gorge. The scciiu net is a picture of U'at pass with n gang ol laborers laving ties and rails , a line bit ol realism worked out In excellent detail. O ; course the hero , an Iristi railroad contnictot represented by Mr Sullj , wins the race. It makes him a millionaire , and ho wins the high-born womun ho loves. Mr. bull } 's Irishman is not loud-mouthed , doesn't carry a shlllalah mid hasn't the brogue of the bogs. Ho is an Aiiiorlc.inl/ Irishman who sneaks in conversational < vorsational tones with u plemslni * accent nnd weai-s a dress suit on occasion. Through his lines runs u vein of humor that doosn's elo- pond on Irish bulls for effect. It Is an agree able change frum the traditional Irishman with whom Mr. Sully has been associated. The play is not Intense and Its denouement Is apparent from the start , out it is clean , wholesome nnd entertaining. The role of the railroad president is taken by n stick , but otherwise Mr. Sully has a fairly capable support. li OF .IKWKIUiOX Mrs. Davis Hrlnus .Suit A nhiHt a Now York Publishing Ilouso MUMiMii" , Tonn. , Nov. ll ! ) .
