The paper of T. F. Hensley, at the
editorial meeting, which we publish
today, has in it many salient truths,
but is, we think, a little too caustic on
the politics of today. There is far
more good than evil in it. There are
as many good men serving their country
as in any past age, in fact many more
than ever before. The public press
has become so scrutinizing and fearlej#
that corruptness in public office is
■hort-lived and the vulnerable otllce-
holdcrsoon an exposed and ruined man.
If there are corrupt men in high
places, the press, the great pub 1c
searchlight, must take some of the
blame for their being there. No man
can be elected to an office against the
c Jiubined will of the press, if it has

the case to Judge Burford to write
the opinion. Since then the case has
been dormant and the people seem to
have forgotten it. Perhaps there is
nothing the people can do in the mat-
ter now, since it is in the nighest ter-
ritorial court, on the federal side; the
people, however, should not forget
the vastness of this case.
That quarter of land is the home of
2,000 people. It contains many of the
handsomest residences in the city and
early settlement of this case means
much to those people.
Only a month ago all arrangements
were made for the erection of a big
hotel, three stories, 75x140, on the
tract, and the money hail been proffer-
ed; but when the abstract showed
this legal cloud the party who had of-
fered to loan the money refused to
do so.
The city, at least, should not go to
sleep on this matter, but should urge
the supreme court, through its coun-
sel, to hand dowo its opinion in this
case as soon as possible. The city has
won every step in this case, on the
theory that Paine was a speculator;
that he knew the land was not agri-
cultural land, by reason of a town hav-
ing been located adjoining it; that
swarms of people were on it simulta-
neously with, if not earlier than he,

A New York woman writes to the
press, objecting to the use of the word
"lady" addressed to her thus: "This
way, lady," or "Thank you, lady."
She very properly contends that the
word "madam" is good enough for
ordinary usage. It is unfortunate that
the French tuadamisella and the Ger-
man fraulein and the Spanish senorita
is expressed by the clumsy English
word "Miss," but "madam" will cover
all ordinary cases and should be restor-
ed to its place in the language. In like
manner the word gentleman should
never be permitted to take the place
of "Sir."

The idea of the resolution was to

The first thing done after conven-
ing in the afternoon by the council
was the adoption of the resolution
asking as to the status of the Indian.
The inquiry is as to whether the In-
dian is a citizen or net.
The council then went into commit-
tee of the whole ou bills in general
order.
C. B. 119, on corporation licenses,
was considered and recommended for
passage.
C. H —, defining the jurisdiction of
the probate courts, was next taken up.
It provides that the probate court shall
have concurrent jurisdiction with the
district court in civil cases, of cases in-
volving over S100 and not more than
81,000. The bill also provides that the
probate judge may have a clerk, who
shall have power to issue process and
do all the ministerial acts that the
clerk of the district clerk. This was
Senator's Pitaer, Fegan, Orner and
the idea of Scott. Senator Baker oppos-
ed it ou the general idea of not being in
favor of creating more officers. The
clerk, however, the bill provides, is
not to be paid any more salary than
the probate judge now pays, and he Is
not to get any additional fees.
The bill passed, with the amend-
ment.
