THE INDIAN TERRITORY,

The House Committee on Territorial At
fairs has reported In favor Of the bill to create
the Territory OF Oklahoma, out of what now
constitutes the Indian Territory. This bill
has attracted q good deal OF attention since it
was introduced in Congress, 1t being claimed
on the one hand that the Indians of the Ter
ritOry, Creeks, Cherokees and Choctaws, CD
posed the measure, while on the other hand
In was confidently asserted that these Indians
| wanted to become citizens OF the tinted
States and throw the country open to settle
ment, as it would materially Increase the
value of their lands, but that their chiefs
opposed this measure because it would de-
prive them OF much of their present in
fiuenCe and power. ThCre was undoubt-
etly great diversity Of opinion on this
point, and it Is not ut all extraordinary that
the committee should have finally cut the
Gordian knot and reported in favor of estab-
fishing regular government In the Indian
Territory. At present that Territory is the
home and paradise of horse thieves, murder
ers and desperadocs of all kinds, the inhab-
tants are a mixed race of Indians, haf-breecIs.
negroes and whites, living in state of civil
cation but slightly superior to that of the
blanket or wild Indians of the plains.
The Missouri, Kansas and Pacific Railroad
is the principal champion in the field In favor
OF this proposed new Territory as the road will
receive rich bonus In land as soon as the In
dian titles are extipgushcd With rich rail
road and the lobby working in favor of this
measure and no one to oppose 1t save q few
Indians, and they divided in sentiment. it.
seems more than likely that the bill creating
the Territory of Oklahoma will pass the House
House committee.
1t IS pretended by the opponents Of this
scheme that any attempt TO open up the con-
try to settlement will be followed by great
and costly war with these Indians who are
far better equipped and prepared for war than
the wild Indians of the plains This, which is |
one OF the chief arguments Of the opponents
OF the scheme, is scarcely probable The In
dian Territory is already full Of white men,
many of them fugitives from justice, and the
Indians would undoubtedly find honest and
hard working white farmers much better
neighbors than escaped criminals, horse
thieves and Adventures.
If this now Territory is created and thrown
open to immigration, there will be a rush for
these new lands unhcard of in the history of
American immigration the Territory offers
D thousand advantages over Kansas, Mime
sofa or any othor Of the States into which
are now pouring; it is nearer the
seabonrd and the centres Of population. has
more navigablc streams a better climate and
more fertile soil. As this proposed Territory
les only fifty miles from Louisiana it's set
llement ought to bring material advantages

The New York UeraM calls attention to the
large excess in the small silver coins issued
to supplant tho fractional currency These
small coins are made of debascd metal, as in
other countries, to secure them against cx-
portation; but in other countries provision is
made for their redemption, which is not the
case in the United States. The consequence is
that when there is an excess of this coin
alloat the retail trade of the country Is sub
jected to serious losses. The. HernM claims
to be losing as much as 800 week in the
discount on this subsidiary coin, and the
street car companies and such institutions
must also be losing heavily, as are all retail
dealers Being legal tender up to the sum
of IS it cannot be refused, but when those
who take it in make their deposits in bank
they are subjected to n heavy discount This
could easily be amended by the government
making arrangements to redeem it in sums
OF $50 Or more in the regular money of the
country. when it is found excessive.

means uncommon for members of Congress
who have failed to commend themselves to
their constituencies to prevail on their fellow
members to provide them with sinecurcs to re-
tire on, thus pensioning themselves on the

to this, but we have never yet heard that the

only justices of the Supreme Court that
were ever spoken of prominently in

may see fit to enter into with the agents
OF Russia but In the event of war
between England and Russia it would
become its duty to put an immediate stop to
any and all such projects. Russia, of course,
understands this, and will consummate her
designs and get the vessels she may have
purchased out of our ports before any formal
declaration Of war Is made. There is no
doubt but that tho masses of our people
would sympathize with England In any war
she might engage in with Russia, and If our
government connives in any way at her dis
comfiture it will fail to represent their feel

on that score, though, and we certainly have
