1t is gratifying to know that the Indian
territory is far enough along in civiliza-
ton to deserve II delegate in Congress. A
concession of this character will do some
thing to correct the general impression in
this country and in Europe that we have
done nothing for the Indians but to hunt
them, and will aid perhaps in bringing
more wild tribes into the territory. The
consideration which leads to the step,
however, is the fact that the territory Is
now put to an annual expense of sixty
thousand dollars to send tribal deputalions
to Washington. The territory has sixty
thousand inhabitants, in five tribes, nclud
inc ten thousand whites, who have inter-
married. and is increasin@quite rapidly IN
wealth, raising large crops and great
herds of cattle The full status of II terri
tory does not seem to be too onerous Il
government to impose upon them. we
trust the secretary of the interior will urge
the qualification of suffrage by the educa-
tional test, as the majority of the inhabil-
ants already speak and read the English
language. We hope ii will be II goo
while before the Indian Or any other terri.
tory is made state. We have had toe
many states out of few ranches and :
small purchasable voting population.

How a Tramp Earned a Dinner.

A tall man, with nose like muffin,
went into Main street boarding house
one day last week and asked for dinner.
lowing TO the general depression of
business, and consequent scarcity of the
rhino, said the proprietor, looking the
tall man over, "a dinner will cost you
thirty-fve cents. in advance"
IL have nothing with me but a check
on n Boston bank observed the tall
man.
"ChecE8 on Boston banks amt worth a
copper remarked the landlord. 81 guess
you'll have TO dine more sumptuously
elsewhere"
Cant do something for my dinnerg p
asked the tall man, as a hungry pang
griped him.
"You can pay" said the proprietor,
impressively.
"You give me my dinner" said the tall
man; an agree to clean your house of
every rat in it. Ihsve performed the feat
in many hotels throughout the country
with most satisfactory results"
The proprietor accepted the bargain as
a most advantageous one to himself, and
the tall man seated himself at the table.
where he did fearful execution among the
victuals. He finished bis dinner in half
an hour, picked his teeth with a fork,
called for cigar, and proceeded to enjoy
it.
"Now, then, said the proprietor, when
the tall man had finished his smoke, 'let's
get to business. Go for the rats"
"Ah, yes returned the tall man,
"with pleasure. Procure me light iron
bar about four feet in length, and l will
proceed to business"
The iron bar was procured, and the
loafers gathered around to witness the in
teresting proceedings"
Snow, begin" said the proprietor.
"Where will you commence firstl"
"Right here" replied the tall man, as
he carefully rolled back his cuffs, spit on
his hands, and grasped the iron bar firm
ly, while the proprietor stood by with
great anxiety depicted on his counte-
nance.
Now" said the tall man, impressively,
as he slowly elevated the bar, "are you all
ready9"
"All ready" returned the proprietor,
excitedly.
Then" said the tall man, "bring on
your rats"
For the space of five minutes the ex-
citement of an entire presidential election
filed the room. When it subsidized the
tall man was nowhere to be seen, and the
proprietor was standing before glass ty-
ing an oyster over bis left eye. The rats
still revel in their native freedom.-Rock-
land Courier.
