TAXING INDIAN LANDS.
The allotment of lands to. the Indians
Is making some disturbance In a few
of the states. Under the act of congress
by which lands are allotted to the In
dians In severalty, the lands cannot be
alienated or taxed for the space of
twenty-five ytflrs. Tin? provision ex
empting the lands from taxation waa
to prevent the Indians from being
robbed of their holdings by tax Bhurks,
of which there are a good many In the
newer states. Hot, while this exemption
helps the Indians, It deprives the Btate
nnrt counties of a considerable sum In
taxes. It is estimated that the Indians
hold by allotment 2.402,000 acres of land,
niul while they receive all tliu protec
tion that other Inhabitants receive, they
pay nothing to the support of the state
nor to the maintenance of courts or
other machinery of government of
which they have full benefit.
Senator Munderson, of Nebraska, In
troduccd a bill Into the senate that pro
vide that nil allotted lands entitled to
the benefits nnd subject to the laws of
a state where the Indian owners enjoy
privileges as citizens shall be subject to
stato and local taxation, but that dur
ing the contuance of the trust the
United States government shall pay
tho taxes. While this Is a good thing
for the Indiana and the people of the
state, where the allotted lands are lo
cated, It Is as bad to shift this burden
onto the people of tho United States
ns It la to permit It to remuln on the
. peoplo of the state containing the
lands. It would compel the people of
Oregon to contribute to the support of
the state of Nebraska, after supporting
their own state government.
It ls"tho Indians that receive the ben
efits, and they should pay for them.
Tho tribes, most of them, have funds In
the United States treasury, and out of
these funds these taxes should be paid
In that case the burden would fall
where It properly belongs and no one
would suffer.

methods of starting certainly are fairer
and less likely to bring yachting crews
lr.to unfriendly and resentful rivalry
than the English conditions.
JOCKEYING YACHTS.
Tho details oflhe yacht raco around
the IhIo of Wight, says tho New York
Tribune, show that there was more
Jockeying than there ought to have
been In an International contest. In
tho 'maneuvers nt the start tho Urltnn
nlrt deliberately held the Vigilant back
and enabled tho ftutnnltii to take a long
lead. Subsequently the same tactics
were repeated when the throe yachts
vere close together. The Britannia
being to windward, kept bearing down
upon the Vigilant and forcing her In
shore, not allowing her to pass to lee
ward, Tho American yacht, owing to
Mr. India's pluck, finally out-jockeyed
tho Britannia. The Vigilant ran close
Inshore off Ventnor until the llrltunnla
was bumping on the bottom, and got
oft hcrvlf with a light scrape owing to
her lighter draught. The American
yacht's success In this rather reckless
maneuver seems to have caused Irrita
tion ainoivg if)ig!Uh yachtsmen, al
though retaliation waa certainly Jus
tillable In the etrcurrununees
Incidents like these are to be regret
ted because they reveal sharp practice
nnd trtrklneoa and Invariably arouse re
rcntmeut. With as much searoom as
the conditions of this contest allowed,
there ought not to have been any Jock,
tying attempt on th part of one Eug
llxh yacht to make the race for another,
and to place the American bou.t at a
disadvantage; nor ought there to have
been a series of lulling matches, fim
Which two of the con ifui m iminiu!)
To the free-born American there can
be nothing more Inconceivable than the
public professions of complete subser
viency, not alone of action, but even of
sentiment and opinion, to Queen Vie
toria of a large and important moiety
of her subjects. "In many respects.
says tho London Standard, "the princi
pal organ of the Tory party In the
United Kingdom, "the Queen has bo-
coma the conscience of the nation. Con
fining herself with the strictest punc
tilio to the exerclne of those functions
which the constitution assigns her, she
nevertheless Is, ns It were, silently
Interrogated by the nation as to her
views, her sentiments, her judgments;
and when once these arc grasped by
the people the statesman does not live
that could hope to run counter to
them." From this we are to gather
that a large proportion of the British
people before venturing to form any
opinion of their own, goes to the trouble
of finding out the views of the
universally reflected lady who presides
at the court of St. James, and, having
once made itself acquainted with them,
adopti them as Its own, without dream
Ing of exercising Its Independent Jud?
ment In the matter. If this really be
the case, we can look forward to the
Inauguration of general frivolity, when
the Prince of Wales comes to the
throne, since the views entertained by
him about men and things, which will
In due course be adopted by such of
his subjects as happen to belong to the
Conservative persuasion, nre far from
being characterized by much sobriety,
common sense and seriousness as those
of his august mother.

The attempt of the Western Knights

use of Federal troops In upholding tho
national authority In Chlcngo during
the recent strike disturbances. Is an
undertaking which Is Instructive only
as showing tho tardy Intelligence of
the men engaged In It. The most lim

ican history would have shown those
over-zealous gentlemen that that this
same question of the right of the Fed
eral government to enter a stato to
protect Its Interests and enforce Its
laws came up In 1861, and that, after a
long and highly animated controversy,
ending at Appomattox, It was decided

Labor may also learn by a little In

final, there being no court anywhere
with power to reverse It.
