The Christian world bas tt various timet es'ablislied institutions for the benefit of mankind generally, but probably no one bas done mora real good than the one established originally in ihe east to prevent cruelty to children. An institution that can help so many Jtttle onea in (be large citiea from ui.tuSJ misery. TJie most recent deVf lopment of their work ws the discovery of white children in the llumt of the Chinese iuCtli forma, where unnatural motheis bad placed their cffiiirinir. The Alta California in speaking of this Jis- covejy, says: "It is impossible to form even, an approximate idea ol the tiumher of such children who have been sjld or given to residents of Chinatown out of disre putable foundling establishments or by unnatural pirmif, but they must be considerable. There bas been nothing to prevent such a traffic, for attention has not been hitherto called to it, and it was easy enough for the Chinese to obtain the cnildren if they desired them.

they sHuld have a motive fur engaging in the shameful trefBi is a result of the barbarous and bestial customs of the race. In China the relation of children to parent) is one of vir tual slavery, and fathers traffio in the flesh and blood of their sons and daughters. It would be suffi ciently repulsive to think of these poor white 0' ildren beinjr reared in tbe Chinatown of Sin Francis-on, amidst the squalor and immor ality that there abound, and for them to be turned into savages in land of civilization; but even this fate is not so bad as the one in st re for ihem when they are sent eff to Chins, as soon ss they become two or three years of age, and there doubtless sold and resold like chattels, and ultimately con-di-mned to a life of degradation. The demand for children in this traffio has been mainly confined to female infant, and knowing the utter absence of morality among the Chinese, there can be no doubt regarding the fate of the unfortun te victims. It is well that this shameful traffio has been discovered, and no time should be lost in breaking it up.

The chief of police thiiiks there is no power to tuk -the white children found in Chinatown out of the life of slavery into which they have been forced, no one knows how; but the society for the prevention of cruelty t. children thinks otherwise, and it will not lai support in its eff iris. A sufficiently vigorous search will discover some law that can ba availed of to stop the continuanoc of this shocking crime." Dn. CiiiiisropiiiiR C.

All that portion of the territory des cribed in tbe act of April 15, 1876, which lies west of a Hue drawn due south from the national boundary, at the western extremity of the Sweet Grass hills, the Marias river, is assigned to the Piegan, Blood, and Blackfett Indiana be longing to the Black feet agency. This land is be held under exe cutive order for the occupancy and benefit of such. Indians, or to be patented to them in Severally, if congress shall so direct hereafter, fit order to enable these Indians to give up the chase and to assist them in becoming agricultural pattjral people, and to become self-supporting, the sum of 173,000 a year is to be given the Indians of the Ulackfeet agency; (5,000 year is to be given the Fort Bel knap agenciea for the term of fif teen years from the passage of this act, and 175,000 to the Fort Peck Indians. The money is to be ex peniled by the direction of tbe sec retary of the interior in the pur chase of agricultural implements. seed, necessities, or in the purchase of cattle or sheep, and to help them on the way to civilization and self- support.

The government agrees to issue rations to these lnd'ans as may be necessary, in addition to what they produoe, to their com iWtable subsistence for three years The land lying outsidi the reser vation is to placed in the public domain, except auch as may be needed for a military reservation at Fort Assiniboine. This measure is well received on all side, and it is thought it will pass both houses if any similar bill can this session. D. L. Wilbkr, of Jamestown, in an iuterview, sas: "Tnere is no occasion for lack of confidence in our country, and I have not been able to detect any weakening on the part of eastern oupitalists who have placed large investments in our region.

1 speak more par: ion larly ot North Dakota, as I am more familiar with that part of Dakota than with the southern half. Tbere bas been a little strin gency in the money mailc-t, and eastern men who would have loan ed tsGOO on a piece of land a year ago, will not now give more than 1450, But this feeling is general the oouutry over, and does not indicate bard times with us. At present our Jamestown bankers are loaning money to regular customers at ten per cent, and large loans are being made at 9 per cent, and frequently the borrower is charged but two per cent commission by the agent securing the money. Farmers who give chatel mort gages are paying about twelve per cent, i'ossibly we are favored at Jamestown over the smiller towns, but you will see that money rates generally are very reasonable. This showing is especially good in the face of our very liberal exemption laws, whereby at least (1,500 can be saved, and by business firms even more than that is often pre served in the case of failure." A decided sensation in Hamilton, Ontario, waa created at the trial of George Wynne Richards, secretary and treasurer ol tne Iteid Birr Manufacturing company, on the charge of forgery.

George Ba-r, the vice president ol the company, the first witness, told a startling story of a conspiracy between himself an Richarda to burn the woiks. At the conclusion of tbe evidenoe, Barr was arrested, and with Richards committed for trial. Both are gray haired men, and hitherto very respectable. The forgeriec amount to about (20,000. Tna Rev.

D. J. McDjnnell created enthusiasm iu St. Andrew's Cnurch at Toronto Sunday by referring in glowing terms to the work ot the British troops in the Soudan, tbe congregation arising and singing "God Save the Queen." By request of Mr. icD.mnell tbe word "knavish" in the bymn was changed to "dcvelisb," with special leference to the woik of the dynamiters.

Yet, what will they do with Dra atlas Alte-atloa. Fugo Arjius: Dikoia ia securing at- tention and advertising abroad in cot- otclioa with the tin ore discoveries in the Black llilla. Some time ago the British minister at Washington made a pnrt to his government on the subject, and this report ia publt-hed in iht Ulue Book issued by lhat government It confirms ihs accouota ol' tbe value ol the mines, and states that tbere ia no ubl of tbe existence of tbe ore in n. iDUnerative quantities. Tbe import auce of this to Euglaad grows out ol tbe fact lhat it baa had a monopoly if the business of tbe world, and is likely to lose one of its moat important markets in this eountiy.

Our watar works yitem and our flre department combin ed lurnish almost absolute immunity from properly destruction by fire, yt tbe companies are not disposed lo give us any reduction from old prices established when Ya iktna waa at ihe mercy of the devouring element, Press and Dakotian representative asked a traveling insurance man, a few days ago, tbe cause of advance in rati ia spite of the heavy Investment made by the city in appliances for extiu.

ituithing flames, lie replied that in Axing rates tbe profits and losses tor a year were taken at a basis and that each atate and territory it taken at whole in making an estimate. Uuder ibis arrangement Yankton must pay tor losses in other Dakota towns, Pierre, or Mitchell or any other Da- aoti town without fire extinguishing appliances is badly damaged by fire, the Yankton property owner, who iu sures 1st I'd for tbe loss. This does ant seem like a Just arrangement, but the insurance man said there was no help lor it." atarprialnc Development! Oa Friday Judge Cnurch rendered decision ia the case of J. V.

Through a quest ion raised and dla cussed in this case it tppeara lhat J.ih P.

The bond wa approved by "John W. Allen, chairman," and was duly filed as complete and sufficient.

Just what the outcome of such mod remarkable proceeding, will be, caunoi at yet be determined. Certain it lhat the bowl nf commissioners will decline to redeem or to bond the (18, 000 worth of warrants isaued to Mr. Belding, but that tucb it the turn total of confusion and trouble entailed, remains to be seen.
