THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

It was because the lands included In the
Indian Territory were broad and long, rich,
well-Watered aud wooded, and stocked with
game, that the government sat them aside
years ago for Indian reservations The very
attractions which made them desirable ia the
eyes Of the Indians have been tempting the
whites ever since the five civilized nations
settled there. and the authorities have been
kept on the alert constantly to prevent en-
croachments from the States bordering on the
Territory. The Territory contains In all over
$4,000 Indians OF different tribes, Of which
65,560 belong to the five civilized nations. The
others are divided up among seven agencies
distributed through the Territory. The civil
lied nations are: Cherokee 10000, Choctaw
16 500, Greek II, 500, Chickasaw 1000, Seminole
2560. Altogether the different tribes occupy
as reservations over 100000 600 acres. They
engage fly In raising stock, and are con-
tinually harassed by horse thieves and cattle
thieves, particularly those who live near the
Texas border. The Indians, however, seem
capable OF protecting their rights, and as the
agents have authority to eject any objection
able sojourners, trouble has been generally
avoided.

The New York Secret Detective Society,
which organized some time ago, has begun
it's work. The society employs number 81
private detectives, which 1t places on the
track Of the leading citizens OF New York to
discover their habits, where they spend their
time and whom they visit Books are kept,
In which the records Of these citizens are pre-
served, with black marks against those who
are Wild or irregular In their habits. The 90
ciety has collected great deal Of evidence oi
this kind, and some curiosity was exhibited
to discover to what use they intended to put
their information. Last Thursday the soci-
ETY. showed its hand by laying before the
wife OF one Of the uniortunates, whose steps
1t had dcgRed, full particulars Of her hus-
bands RoinRs.on, producing. as might be
expected, some eunpleasantnees In that family.
The press have been rather severe already In
their criticisms on the society. and 1t is
probable that this exhibition Of Its purposes
will produce savage journalistic assault on
it all along the line.

THE TIME FOR PREPARATION.

New Orleans has by hard work and the in
telligent expenditure Of comparatively
small sum Of money, earned q reputation for
cleanliness and healthfulness which It should
be the object Of all her citizens to maintain.
be necessary for US to accord the constituted
authorities and the gentlemen OF the Auxil-
iary Sanitary Association the most cordial
and liberal support. The responses which
have already been made to the earnest call Of
the sanItarans have been extremely encour-
aging, and warrant the belief that sufficient
sum will be raised to carry out the plans
which have been made with the greatest care,
and with the light Of last years experience
before them. There Is every reason to be-
lieve that should the same amount OF energy
and wisdom be displayed this year, as was
exhibited by our people last year In the
matter Of furtheriDg the efforts OF the
constituted authorities and their able and
active allies, the Sanitarians, the city will
enjoy uninterrupted good health, and 1t viii
be Us cafe here In August and September as
1t is now. Clean streets, clean cutters and
vaults and plenty OF pure water mean health
fulness, and there is no reason that we can
see why those conditions may not all be Sc
cured. provided the citizens will furnish the
necessary means to achieve them.
Fortunately, the Governor has selected an
Administrator Of Improvements (Col. Joseph
Collins). who will emulate the example Of his
predecessor In respect to giving every pos
slble assistance to the Sanitary Association in
their laudable endeavors to keep disease at
bay, and whose intimate knowledge Of the
city and It's requirements will be OF the great
est service In the coming summer campaign
against the enemies Of health.
Our wealthy citizens. who have large inter-
ests In the city. and who have not yet sub
scribed to the health fund, should bear in
mind the noble example Of Mrs. Elizabeth
Thompson, Of New York, whose dona-
lion Of $500 to the fund Of our Sanitary
Association evinces an interest In the
welfare OF New Orleans which not only
entities her to our gratitude, but should
excite to emulation hundreds Of QUO
own people who have been so far content to
reap the advantages which flow from the ex-
penditure and labor OF other citizens, but
who have not contributed dollar. The self
sacrificing gentlemen who not only give
their means. but their time to this
cause, certainly deserve the encouragement Of
their fellow-citizens, and the importance Of
The object they have In view is such that per-
sons Of the dullest understanding must ap-
preciate 1t. An epidemic In this city would
ne fraught with the most serious and lament
able consequences to life and to property, and
Il owners Of real estate fully appreciated the
effect OF such visitation, as those Of the city
Of Memphis now do, there would be no neces-
sity to urge them to subscribe to q health
fund

The theatrical managers Of New York hav,
unanimously determined to give perform

association to this end has been organized
among them. embracing Wallack's, the Park
the Brooklyn Park, the Standard, Booths
Tony Pastors and Daly's theatres, and tn
Theatre Comique. The understanding is tha,
each manager is to do his own advertising
and do all else In his power to secure larg'
audience. Among those actors and actresses
who have volunteered their aid on this occa
sion are Edwin Booth. Mary Anderson
Louise Carey and others. An endeavor was
made to persuade the Irish societies not TX

The New York papers predict . general
strike Of the trades union societies Of that
city early in April. Frequent meetings are
being held by these various associations, and
despite the secrecy observed by them this
much has leaked out-that they think they
deserve some increase In wages, In view OF
the increase in the cost f living. and propose
to strike therefor at an early day. Strikes
are already under way among the piano
makers, tobacco manufacturers, cabinet
makers, lantern makers. bricklayers, car
penters, builders. 'longshoremen and IRON
noulders, OF New York, and the clothing
cutters, house painters and others have the
matter under advisement. They are doubt
less encouraged by the wonderful success
that strikes have met with this year.

We believe we do not overstate the case
when we cay that the verdict which was rend-
cred yesterday Is OF Importance to every in-
dividuAl who may be liable to travel, and
thereby to fall into the clutches OF the Pull
man Company. It administers to that In

that people do not leave their liberties be-

there are judges here who will enforce 1t.

especially for his decisive Reputation Of the
c ompany's book Of rules which we're i'm.
pudently brought forward as furnish
ing justification for any arrogant and
a rbitrary treatment which the company's
mployes may choose to inflict upon travel
ers. The conductors and other employees OF
the company may hold that code In reverent
q e, but it turns out, happily, that 1t is not
goepel for the world at large or final author
ity In the courts of law. We trust that the
facts In this case may have the widest circu-
iation. Perhaps when 1t Is discovered that
trav elers have some rights which the Pull
man Company is bound to respect, there may
be developed among the people spirit Of re-
distance to tyrannies which have been prac-
ticed SO long and so successfully as to have
assumed the character Of a vested privilege
in the eyes Of the Pullmans.

TRAVELLERS RIGHTS.

A very important case was decided yester-
day In the United States District Court,
Judge Billings. 1t involved very grave ques-
tions as to the rights Of persons patroniziDg
the Pullman sleeping cars, and the result Is
OF profound interest to the travelling public.
The facts Of the case are, briefly, these: Last
September, two gentlemen set out from
New Orleans In company to travel north
ward For convenience we will call them A
and B. The latter went at the invitation Of
the former and as his guest. A paid for all
the tickets, and generally provided for the ex-
penses for the trip. Among the tickets pur-
chased, and In fact those upon which the suit
In question hinges were the sleeping car
tickets, which were purchased thus:
Flrst-One full section through to Wash
ington; and,
Second-One lower berth separately for B
to occupy during the first night out. "
The reasons for this excessive expenditure
In the matter OF sleeping car tickets were, In
the first place, that A wanted the section all
to himself after parting company with B,
which was to happen at Dalton, Ga, and, In
the next place, that the weather was 50 in
tensely oppressive as to make sleeping in a
top berth practically impossible. A accord
ingly provided an abundance OF room, paying
therefor the sum of $19 so, whereas under
ordinary circumstances the company would
have received but $12 for the same accommo-
dation. Everything went pleasantly during
the first part Of the trip. A slept In the
full section and B in the lower berth
which had been taken for the purpose. The
next morning, however. as they were ap-
preaching Atlanta, the Conductor Of the Car
approached and inquired how far he in
tended riding in the car. B said ito Dalton
The conductor told him he would have to
pay 50 cents extra for the privilege; that he
was only entitled to accommodation as far as
Atlanta and that the seat-fare from that
point to Dalton was 80 cents. Very much
astounded at this, B explained the situation,
told how the berth he had occupied during
the night was q mere ''extra," how he was
travelling as AS guest, who had bought both
the section and the berth, and, In short, went
over the whole story Of the trip. 1t was OF
no avail. The conductor claimed that under
the rules Of the company man who bought
section In Pullman car did not really own
It.; that A had no right to take B with him,
and that, although B had already paid sum
equivalent to the fare OF Eve persons from
