given. In repairing such wrong we do
not wait f"r an election; we. as sensible
and practical people, remove the represent
atlves Of this wrong-doing, and appoint
good men in their places by the proper
authority, and then we provide for elec-
tions one member each year to serve for
five years. When the Board was created,
it was filled by appointment by the Gov
ernur until the elections each year should
fill. The Stryker Bill, which passed the
Senate February Sd, provides that the
Mayor shall appoint the first members.

President is warned that the polioy of
protecting the Indian Territory against
the pressure of white squatters must be
abandoned. The Territory must be opened
up to settlement, or the deuce will be to
pay. II is not likely. however. that the
| Administration will yield to the rapacious
demand Of white adventures. Itcertainly
ought not to do so. The Indian Territory
is the last hope of the Indians on this con-
tinent There, if anywhere. the remnants
Of all the once powerful tribes will be gath
cred. The other reservations in Colorado
Montana, Idaho and other States and Terri
tories of the West will probably be given
up. The treaties will be broken, and the OBJ
legations of the Government be disregarded.
Such has been the history of the past,
and we see no reason to hope for better
things in the future. The Indian Territory
Is not necessary to our commercial or So
cial progress. 1t is not necessary to the
system Of intercuntinental railways. 1t is
not necessary that any highways for traffic
and travel should run through it, contrary
to the wishes of its inhabitants Probably
the day will come when the Indians them
selves will open it up to railways III their
own interests and to enable them to trans
port the surplus products of its soil to
profitable markets. Whether they do or
not, tie Government has no right to COM
pei them to do so. 1t is under the most
sacred obligations to preserve the soil in
tact to the tribes occupying the Territory,
and it will be justified in using whatever
military force is needed to keep out adven.
lures.

The Volksblatt says: The President 80

We hope he will not lose 1t in the Panama
Canal question.-The Enquirer seems to
have made its main object to fight Sher-
man. Whence comes this sole aud special
bitterness Of the Enquirer against Sher-

The Freie Presse says: How long will
our Legislature tax the patience of our
citizens and defer the passage of those bills
that are designed to put an end to that
Democratic lottery and ring management,
under which Cincinnati has 30 long suf-
fered.
Yesterdays Abend Post says: Hicken-
looper-well, let him 70. Senator Atkin-
son, anxiously concerned as to the welfare
of Hickenlooper who shortly after his in
auguration AZ Lieutenant-Governor disap-
peared from the Ohio State Senate and has
not been seen since, yesterday introduced
resolution asking that information be
sought for as to the whereabouts Of the
missing man. AS the Senate rightly oplned
that Hicken looper was on hunting or
fishing expedition, Atkinson's resolution
was referred to the Committee on Fisheries,
serves credit.
