THE ARKANSAS
Editors Think the Territory of OkIahO-
ma should be Organized at Once
The New York Tribune Thinks
Negro ExOdusters should
be COIOnIzed There.

The Editorial association Of Arkansas
adopted an address upon the subject of the
Indian Territory, which puts the question so
clearly and concisely that it deserves to be re-
produced:
Lying along our entire western border is
a country of great beauty and fertility. It
ought to be the home OF thousands of happy
families, the site of growing and busy cities,
the theater of intellectual and material pro-
gress. Instead, 1t stands as the barrier of
progress and monument of governmental
folly. Fugitives and lawless men have
crossed the borders. to the injury. of
the Indians and reproach of the whites.
Where they have been in contact with
the best of the whites the relation has been
pleasant and profitable. This is strikingiy
illustrated by the result of the actions of
Secretary Schurz IN August, 1877, based
upon law and treaties allowing the people Of
Oklahoma to employ white skilled labor.
The consequence Is that vast tracts have
been brought under cultivation, school houses
and churches built, and a new era of pro-
gress lnaugurated. We believe that the or
ganization of the Territory Of Oklahoma by
congress Is a necessity, growing cut Of pro-
gresslye civilization, and an act of mercy,
owing to the exposed and unprotected con-
dition of the Indian. We therefore recon-
In every way lawful, honorable and consist
ent with treaty stipulations to effect this
end. ~
The last number of the New York Tribune
suggests the colonization Of southern negroes
IN the Territory, and says:
''The Indians now occupying that beauti-
full region scarcely use a hundredth part of
it. Thousands of square miles of as good
farming land as the sun shines upon lie idle.
1t would be an interesting experiment to res
cue a portion of this magnificent domain
from the tribes which have no need of it,
and set it apart for colOred colonization.
Only the more enterprising and industrious
blacks would be likely to so there. They
might not build up highly civilized commune
ties, but they would be certain to make a
much better use of the country than the
Choctaws, Chickasaws and Comanches. TIE
negro will work; the IEdian will not, unless
the only alternative is starvation. 10 the
Territory the blacks could raise the crops to
which they are accustomed-cottona and corn !;
and relieved from the hand of prescription
and injustice under which they labor in the
southern States, they could in a few years
show what are the capacities of their race
when it has fair chance. In any case, we
should correct the manifest Injustice IF re-
serving foc few thousand savages a region
nearly twice as large as the State of Ohio,
while shutting out the patient, industrious,
loyal negro from the only Territory suitable
for him to emigrate to"
Now we wonder, if the territory is to be
opened for the negro, why not for the white
man, too? Why not open the Territory to
ali alike, like every other Territory?

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAYI JUNE IA, 1879.


Tradition has made the world familiar
with the philosopher VINO could extract sun
beams from a cucumber, and 1t seems we
have politicians who can extract consolation
out of either victory or defeat. The Wash
ington Post insists that the Republicans have
backed down, and, Notwithstanding the three
vetoes by the President, the Democrats are
triumphant. Here is the way the Post ar
rived at its conclusions: ''The political tune
is suddenly changed. 1t Is a Radical, not a
Democratic back down that the country is
called upon to contemplate. The first stroke
was contaminated yesterday. Swearing they
would never consent, the Republicans of the
house consented to the passage of the caucus
legislative bill, which was passed, and the
caucus army bill, which was not
similarly disposed of only for the
reason that it did not come before the house
in proper form. 1t is for the majority
to propose and the whole to dispose. This
the humbled Republicans, in their repentant
ardor, yesterday, forgot. Hence the delay.
The army bill, az introduced from the Repub-
Iican side Yesterday, was the same In exact
terms as the Clymer bill. Every prohibition
against the use of money to defray the ex-
penses of soldiers quartered at the polls was
preserved entire. In this form it will prob
ably pass the house to-day. The legislative
bill, which is now on its way to the senate,
was the measure for which Mr.. Hawley had
prepared and presented his substitute, that,
according to his statement, was to be adopted
by Democratic votes. The Radical surrender
is complete. They have given up, volunta-
rily, all, in substance. that they have fought
for. They have backed squarely down on all
the disputed propositions so far, for the
second time, considered. And they evil
IDENTITY intend to retreat still further. jus;
now, there Is every probability that all
three appropriation bile, the supplementary
sundry civil bill-sgainst which the Radicals
will fight if they intend to fight further-in-
cluded, viii have passed both houses by the
end of the week and congress will have adj
journed. The Democrats are 20 be heartily
congratulated upon their victory. They have
held the fort. Now they have captured the
enemy. There will be no troops at polling
places hereafter. There will be no deputy
marshals, no supervisors to interfere with
American elections. There will be no more
packed j1ries and no more test-oaths. Every
principle for which they have struggled since
the issues were frst raised in the last con-
gress has triumpked. Conservatism, mode
ration and firm determination have prevailed
IN their councils. and this is the grand result.

Foster,s Tgst,mony Against Foster.

Cleveland I'laindealer: Charles Foster,
in his serenade speech at Columbus, has a
great deal to say about the results of the
war and the agency of the Republican party
in maintaining them. He says that the
national authorities should be supreme, and
States must be subservient thereto True,
SO they must under the constitution. As to
the Republican methods of maintaining the
results of the war; Mr.. Foster has himself
been an eloquent witness OF their harshness,
brutality and illegality. But that was before
an office itching bee was buzzing about his
bonnet. Neither the Democratic party at
large, nor the southern wing of it, is now de-
manding anything more than Charles Foster,
as a Republican member of the Republican
committee, reported, little while ago, ought
to be conceded to the people of the south.
Now he eats all his manly words because he
is a candidate for Office of party that de-
mands that its adherents shall he vindictive
zsalots. There is no nominal reason for his
change of mind; no reason in the world ex-
cept that he is a self-confessed officiating
demaQOQue.

wade Hampton ON the Presidency.

Wade Hampton SAID recently IN political
interview in New York: "We do net intend
to ask place upon the Presidential ticket
for southern man. We want the party in
the north to place two good men on the
ticket, and we will support it for the national
success of the Democratic party. With refer
ence to the personal choice of the south for
particular Presidential candidates, | do not
think the south has made any. l believe that
there has been feeling that, In justice to the
old ticket, it should be renomlnated. There
are many reasons, however, which may be
urged against this, and the refusal of Hen
bricks to be put In nomination again seems
to render 1t impossible. | don't think the
south cares a copper who the next Presiden-
tial candidate may be, as long as he is a
strong national man. They do not care where
he comes from, or what his financial views

A Once Promising Career Ended.

1t looks as if the public career of Alice
Oates were about ended. For some time she
has had storms from all directions blowing
about her ears. The beginning was the puo-
LEGATION of her letters to Henri Laurent by
Mrs. Henri Laurent. In the second place,
she was lately married 10 Philadelphia to a
dapper little counter-hopper named Watkins,
which social arrangement she was trying to
conceal for business reasons. That came out.
Then Messrs. Miles & Steele, of Cincinnati,
her managers Tor next season, formally can
cellea their engagement with Alice Oates, on
the grounds that Alice Oates Titus Watkins
was not the person with whom they had en-
tered INTO engagements, on account of her
married relation. And now comes Mrs.
Henri Laurent with q suit for twenty thou
sand dollars damages against Alice Oates
Titus Watkins for the alienation of her hus-
bands affections from her, and the CORES

minister in Paris, has been exertlng his
great diplomatic faculties without effect n

born In France, but became an American
citizen without serving the usual time in the
French army. He returned to France lately,
and was promptly ordered out of tie Country

objected, but to no purpose. This govern

The New aIedIeal DIscovery

Dermatophony, meophony, tendophony and
osteophony are medical terms introduced
since the discovery of the microphone, and
imply that by the microphone doctors are
able to hear the sounds from the flow of blood
IN the skin. and from the contraction of the
muscles and tendons, and from the vibration
of the bony structure. Through this inven-
ton an Inflammation in any OF the internal
organs should be easily discovered, for in
fanmation is always accompanied by an in
creased activity of the circulation. Since we
can thus hear the rush of blood in the tips of
the fingers, it may be presumed that we shall
soon be able to realize the old notion about
listening to the growing Of the grass.
