Senator Window made good point
against the new Funding bill when he
said last week that it was a safe general
principle in regard to financial Legislation
that when no decided advantage could be
shown as likely to arise from change. to
let things remain as they were in order to
get the benefit Of stability. The bill
seems to be needless attempt to disturb
. condition of affairs which is entirely
satisfactory. In violating the maxim of
letting we'll enough alone, it promises no
certainty Of Improvement in the state Of
the national finances, which. in fact, stand
in no need of improvement.

ing more and more. The Cherokees are also
taking part in behalf of the protesting Choc-
taws. The Talequah Advocate, the organ of
the Cherokees, says, editorially, if the Con-
gressmen and other officials of the United
States, understood the terms in which this
grant was made and the corrupt influences
brought to bear in behalf of the road, they
would take up the cudyels in behalf of the
protesting Chickasaws and Choctaws.
