q" THERE Is EAST. THERE Is
INDIA

The author Of this sentiment is dead, but
his prophecy is being fulfilled. II was Thoe.
H. Benton, United States Senator of Mis-
souri,. who years ago, in public speech, up
on the building of the Pacific railroad, point
ing TO the West, said, 'There is E.st. there
lie India" In Lafayette Park, ST. Louis,
life-size bronze statue Of the deceased states
man has been erected. One Of the inscrip-
tons bears these memorable words, There
is East, there lie India"
The railroads of the country are carrying
out the ideas Of the eminent statesman, and
are reaching for the rich fields Of the west.
But Colonel Benton's prophetic vision ex.
tended farther than our neighboring States
and Territories. However, We are in the
course Of that extension. The marts of the
Eastern World will be opened BY Western
route. Mexico can be added TO the List of
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. We
recognised these facts months ago. a. the
columns Of the TIMEs will bear us witness.
In this connection We will add closing para
graph Of an article headed Kansas and Col
orado, which We find In the Atchison Cham
pion: 1--WE are glad Colorado is whore it is
and what it is. PROFESSIONALLY that State is
one of the richest mineral regions on the
continent, and will, within few year., have
an immenae population engaged in mining
industries. We believe the time is near At
hand when nearly all the products Of our
fields, orchards and vineyards will 60 West
instead Of East. Colorado, New Mexico and
Arizona are mineral and mining countries,
and Kansas, an agricultural State, is their
nearest neighbor. The transportation lines
Of Kansas closely connect d. with all the
mining districts Of these States and Terri.
tories. And Kansas will, in the near future.
supply the busy delivers in the mines Of Col.
orado, New Mexico and Arizona with all the
Heur, meal, beef, pork, and fruit they con-
sumo. They will be the best customers Of
Kansss."

balance in three equal annual payments.
rithout iaterest. If default, be made in any
the settler is given from three
months to one yesr Of grace before final for
fixture. The lands are made taxable after
the first payment, which is simple justice
alike N the State and local governments and
10 those settlers upon the lands who have
made their pay ments and secured their titles.
II would be unjust that considerable por-
ton Of the people should be relieved from
any share Of the public burdens in conse-
quence of their own default. This bill lie
more liberal toward the settlers and just tow
ard the taxpayers of the State than any
other law respecting the disposition Of Indian
lands ever passed BY Congress. Under such
laws as this it is probable that the lands now
remaining unsold will be rapidly taken.
1t would eeem that even haman selfish
ness could hardly have the impudence to ask
for anything more generous than this on the
part Of the Government. But there are peo-
pie who do this very thing. have even
heard of cases where defaulting settlers have
demanded that they be permitted to enter
these lands under the homestead Law, in ut
ter ignorance or amazing contempt Of the
fact that they never were public lands, never
belonged to the Government, but are
held in trust for the Indians under a
treaty which stipulstes that they shall not
Be sold for leas than dollar and . quarter
an acre. do not believe there ever has
been an instance Of the settlement of an In
dian reservation in which aconsiderable pro-
portion Of the eetilers have not gone on the
lands with an expectation Of getting them
fur nothing, in one way or another, and this
no matter how plainly the provisions of the
law and treaty negstived any hope Of this
kind.
Il is to be hoped that our Senators will
see to it that this bill is considered and
passed At tie earliest possible moment. 1t
may net be practicable to get it through be-
fore next winter, but no possible effort should
be spared.

Usage LANDS.

The Warrington correspondent of the
A,chison Champion ssys: Much to Mr..

succeeded in securing the passage BY the
House of his bill for the relief of the settlers
co the Osage lands, and ths: in . shape
much better than be had anticipated, and
considerably more liberal than the original
bill. which vas widely published soon after
its introduction.
The Ossge lands, as is we'll known, are
Comprised within . vast territory extending
westward from Wilson and Montgomery
counties about two hundred miles, with .
width of fifth miles. The lands have been
in market for seven or eight years, but .
very large quantity Of them still remain ur-
cold. In former years two several acts have
been passed BY Congress for the relief Of de.
faulting settlers upon these lands, but the
extension of time for payment was short in
each instance, and the settlers were required
to pay Eve per cent. interest from date of de-
fault Under existinE Law the settlers must
pay the whole of the purchase msDey within
one year after settlement, or, falling, they
forfeit their claims and all right TO ever again
enter any Of the public lands under the
homestead or presumption laws. A very
large number now occupying these lands are
in default and have incurred such forfeiture.

They have been having some fine rsins

A party Of Pueblo Indians came into Fort
Elliott, Texas, last week, from New Mexico.
They were on trading expedition and in
tended to meet the Cheyennes with that
purpose, but they run into the bold Texas
Rangers, and sought protection under the
stars and stripes 1t Elliott. The command
ing officer gave them protection for day or
two then gave them an escort to take them
beyond the scope Of the Rangers. These In
dians we're heavily loaded with various COM
merce to trade, but had to return to from
whence they came.
The Government is about to construct q
telegraph line from Wichita TO Reno, themes
to the new Post on to Fort Supply to Elliott
thence to Fort Sill to connect with the line
already there. This will throw an electic
girdle around the Indians, and should they
attempt to break ont, or away from their
Reservation, Uncle Sam will be ready fos
them.
