| Show tho the poland biu bill in tho the senate SENATE wn june 18 MR SCOTT I 1 move that tho the senate resume the consideration of the unfinished business the PRESIDING OFru OFFICER cEn the senator from pennsylvania moves to resume the consideration of house bill no kb 2997 which was the tile unfinished business of yesterday but hut was laid aside tim this morning by a vote of the senate mn ilir the vie committee on the judiciary imposed the duty on me of bringing before the senate a bli bil for til tho 0 enforce ment of tho the law in utah the bill has passed the house of representatives en ta in its form it is a mild 1 1 li measure only calculated to pro promote the enforcement of law that bill has been further amended in the Judich judieh judiciary try committee so that I 1 think there can bo be no objection to it I 1 have received this morning a communication from the actor ney general stating that it 1 is of the first importance that that bill should pass I 1 read a part of what ho he s says ays 1 I think it is indispensable to the administration of justice in that territory that there should be some legislation upon the subject the people there have been practical practically y without courts for two or three years it will be a very great disappointment a ap pp 0 t n hament and I 1 think calamia calamity Y 1 if f nothing 0 ing is done in that dire diro di rolion rellon tion at this session of con COD congress ress now it is very clear that with the amendments r reported arted by the commit committee teethe the bill aplas has got to go back to the house I 1 think that bill can be passed in half an hour and therefore I 1 move that all other orders be laid aside and that we proceed proceed to the consideration of that ill E bill 1 11 mr nir SCOTT Is that motion in order pending the other the tile PRESIDING OFFICER at the th e chair understands that ii motion fotion not to bo be in order at present the rhe question now 18 on the motion made by pennsyl scott which must bo be vi ed ged upon if that should be voted down rown the senator from new jersey can then make his motion mr nir then I 1 would simply ask the senate in view of the statement which I 1 have made and of the fact that our friend from pennsylvania while he had one measure before the senate has introduced another which has occupied two or three hours that we be permitted to dispose of this bill I 1 am the tile more earnest about it ina lda inasmuch as I 1 am expected to take care of the bill ejected an and tomorrow to morrow I 1 must be engaged probably all day in an important conference committee mr scort SCOTT if the measure to which the senator has referred was one in which the senator from pennsylvania might b be appo supposed sed to have any personal 1 interest the a appeal al nil nii might lit have some force I 1 ipp have sim simply ply been acting as the organ of the senate as chairman of a committe of conference and now as is chairman of another committee in bringing before the senate bills of largo large public importance this one lias has already been discussed at such length that I 1 hope to be able to geta get a vote upon it in a few minutes mr I 1 did not think the senator from pennsylvania had any personal interest in either of the measures except that personal interest which a senator always has to dispatch the business which is especially committed to him as loon koon as possible mr DAVIES I 1 hope the senate will continue in the line it was upon yesterday we had u up 1 a bill and it is the regular order today to day in which a thousand persons are interested it is the tile work of the claims claim commission for a whole awhile year therefore I 1 hope we ive shall continue its consideration without laying kayin it aside mr I 1 desire to give notice that 1 I shall ask the senate to consider the bill providing for the government of the district of columbia and I 1 would move to set aside the pending order but for the fact that the senator from pennsylvania says it will occupy only a few moments this district bill if passed at all must pass the anac sune 9 f c today to day and I 1 trust senators u fl M give it that consideration which its importance requires the OFFICER the question is on the motion of the senator from pennsylvania to proceed with the consideration of the claims bill the motion was agreed to congressional record HOW INDIANS ARE aurb DIDDLED when harian the ex methodist parson from iowa 1 was secretary of the interior the there re was a treaty made with the osage indians by which for nineteen cents currency an acre acro th the tho c shad shadowy bwy leavenworth I aud and galveston railway company managed to get got color of tit title loton to a reservation of that tribe containing several millions acres of the best lands in southwestern sou th western missouri and southeastern kanas kansas the tiie lands were then well worth from 5 to 15 per acre this model treaty also siso provided that the should a accept a new reservation somewhere in the arkansas river desert and pay for it thirty six cents an acre our recollection is that the treaty hung fire in the tile senate and aud was not confirmed but this must dust bs be a mistake for we now see by a chica chicago o paper that the famous osage ceded land cases have come before the united states circuit court in leavenworth kansas and that an tin application is 19 made by the district attorney acting under instructions from washington for the cancellation of the patent by which the territory in dispute was conveyed to the railway company this action it is further stated is taken in the interest of the settlers and the case will probably go to the united states supreme court so far as the usages and their rights are concerned the business is ended now come a body of settlers who set up a claim to some parts of the land on which they were unlawfully settled prior to the fraudulent treaty negotiated by garlans Har lans indian agents and superintendent perin with a set of bribed and drunken indiana who did not represent half the tribe of course these settlers will be defeated unless the validity of the treaty is brou brought lit in issue before the court and ills ilis it is in all probability only to have the courts confirm the ernnt grant rant to the railway company thair that this thia order has come from washington the unlawful claim of the settlers being put in the foreground as a facing of this last act in one of the dirtiest and vilest official jobs ever put up and carried out in this or any other country we ho hope the next congress will do for til the interior department and the indian ring what this one casdone has done for the treasury department and the district ring th thieves leves sacramento union government op OF lonnon LONDON A ani AVD ni NEW YORK the london standard of may blay 29 comparing the local expenditure of the city of new york with that of the city of london says gays that both paris and new york are ruled by byi byl jeal ealand find single muni municipalities e 1 mies whereas london is parce parcelled par celled 1 1 e pt outa ont out monga among a multitude of petty bodies with independent and often conflicting authority prima facie it would see seem in incontestable that the single great corporation ion lon ought to govern more economically than thau the petty multitude moreover london has a population more than three times greater than new york and it extends oyer over a far larger area it would seem not unreasonable to expect therefore that the expenditure of london loudon should be three or four times that 0 of new york As ael a matter of factrow fc tiow ever it is not so in 1871 2 thy last year for which we have re ie turns the total outlay of all the london local nu thorit es fol nor relief of the poor police metropolitan city and parish purposes amounted to XO just a million more than was raised by taxes last year in new york for strictly municipal purposes and about three quarters of a million less than was actually spent although therefore london is mo more re than three times aa populous adnew as new york the tile expendi expends I ture on local goy gov government erg erf ament is actually less in other words the cost of local government per head in new york is from three to four times grea greater ter than in london and if y ve Q add the national taxation this ratio will still be maintained again we find that the debts of the various landorf local governments other than the poor law guard guardians ians fans amounted in the same year to a little over the debts for which the poor rates of all england and wales were liable but slightly exceeded even if we assume so as to be quite safe sare that all these debts were incurred by london unions the london debts of all kinds would but slightly exceed against due by new york head for head of the population therefore the debt of new yoa yol york is between four and five times greater than that of london plen PLENTY ry OF GOLD IN ENGLAND the bullion io in the bank of england increased during the last week nine hundred and twenty
