The Leasing Of the Indian ands.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l0-Col. Bcudi-
not Of the Cherokee nation was exam
lned by the senate committee on In.
dian affairs to-day, regarding the leas'
ing Of Indian lands. He said that he
had no personal knowledge of any
bribery or irregularity in connection
with the leases. He had heard a
rumor that $4,000 was paid to G, NJ.
Rogers, a member Of the Cherokee
council. to secure iease. He declined
TO give the name of the person
who told him, as il was only
heaIsay with Ills informant. In the
witness opinion five cents per acre
| could have been gotten instead OF two
cents. He objected TO the lease for this
reason and also because the acreage
covered by different leases was too
large. II the lands had been leased IN
small quantities some OF the CherO-
KEGS themselves would, he thought,
have taken a portion He believed
that there was strong sentiment
among the CherOkees against leases
Richard NJ. Wolfe, delegate of the
Cherokee nation 10 Washington,
| thought that congress had no rignt 10
abrogute the lease. As far as the wit
ness knew, there was no such oppose
ton to the lease as Col BOudinot de-
scribed.
Augustus Q. Ivey testified that he
was member Of the Cherokee nation.
| Numbers of men had told
him that money had been offered
10 secure the passage by the council OF
the lease bill Among those mentioned
as having been offered money We're
John Sanders and Samuel Ranney.
Sanders told the witness that he was
offered $4,000 to vote for the bill
He heard that Mai Drum,
the attorney for the Cherokee
strip Live Stock association,
said il cost pretty high TO get the Lease
bill through. IL WAS u great benefit,
and Of course they had 10 pay for IL.
Maj, Drum also remarked: "You
| fellows got as high a price as the Kan
sas fellows" Rumor fixed the
amount paid for getting the bill
! through at $4,000 Btnney, nov de
| ceased, told the witness that he had
been paid for voting for the bill, The
witness frequently heard persons gay,
$50 and so got 80 much.n
After considerable pressing as to who
$50 and sou were, he mentioned Maj.
Scales, chief justice OF the supreme
court OF the Cherokee nation, AS one
Of them. He had talked with Bushy-
head, the chief, about the leases.
Bushyhead talked as IL an investiga'
ton would would hurt the nation and
said; "Yes, you are an aspiring man.
You want to run for the senate and
you better not do anything that will
hurt you
BushyheRd said that the lease was
the best that could be done under the
circumstances. The witness thought
that Bushyhead would veto the bin as
the Inferior lands were renting at from
four to six cents per acre while the
Cherokees received but one and hall
cents. Bushyhead SAID, however, that
10 was better TO get one aud hall
cents from those they knew than &c
rent TO q stranger. The witness be-
lieyed that the lease could not have Sc
cured five hundred votes out of the
25,0OOif the question had been submit
ted to the people.

Clean Up the Alleys.

The alleys and b arn-yards about
town are sadly In need Of somebody
to see that they are thoroughly
cleaned. The town should have an
ordinance requiring persons who
own such ease-producing places 70
clean them out Immediately and
failing to do so that the street COM
missioner attend to It and that the
expense be charged to the premises
upon which the filth and refuse was
made or accumulated. Some action
Of the kind becomes necessary be-
cause there are houses with barns
attached that have one tenant In the
winter who uses the barn and makes
the filth and rubbish, moving 70 9th
er quarters without removing the
refuse. It would be unjust to CON-
pei the new tenant to be to the ex'
pense OF its removal. The property
owner however has the means x
protect himself, and II he knew tina
his neglect to compel the person
who had accumulated the filth to re-
move 1t, that the expense thereo
would be charged to his property he
would not be SO unmindful Of tn
annoyance.

"The Democrats scored q grand
victory In Michigan on the 7th inst"
This announcement has appeared In
every democratic paper We have
seen. It is not true; the democrats
did not carry Michigan nor could
they have come anywhere near do
ing 1t. The republican party met with
the most disastrous defeat it has
ever experienced in that state on
the 7th, but the democrats have
no more right to claim the exclusive
credit for the victory then have the
greenbackers. The achievement was
the result of the cooperation Of the
greenbackers and democrats and
there Is no fairness nor honesty in
either one Of those organisations
claiming 1t as a party victory. The
two parties being substantially in
harmony on the political issues Of
the day. very scnsibly acted together
and won victory, carrying this
hitherto strong republican state by
twenty thousand majority. But there
should be decency and fairness en-
ongh on the part Of the democratic
press not to claim 1t AS o demo-
cratic party victory. 1t was a green
back party victory as much as a
democratic: but 1t was q fusion
victory and neither have 4 right. t.
claim it as party triumph. The
democratic party cant carry the
state OF Michigan any more than it
can carry Iowa; a united and harm
nnions action on the part Of nation
ais and democrats won splendid
victory, 1t may do the same In Iowa
but We want to. see fair play all
around.-[The Signal.

The Bitter Cry.

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott: One OF
the great evils lying at the bottom OF
much Of the present crime, agony
and despair is that the wage-worker
can get no more for his work than Is
absolutely necessary to enable him
to live. The rate Of wages seems to
be determined by the rate OF
subsistence. II q workman can live
on less, it would seem, he gets less.
The fOiler is all the time more or less
near tu the border-liDe Of famine
ii times are good, just beyond It: II
times are bad just within 1t. Chris
tianity has revolutionized the world
politically, but not industrially. do
unto others as you would have done
unto YOU" Over how many factories,
stores and business houses could
such legend be inscribed without
being Il pitiable mOckery? II to
deny the fatherhood OF God is to be
an inflde' what would you call one
who denies the brotherhood Of man?
In the present relation Of employer
and employee can there be said to be
any brotherhood of man? It Is the
duty OF christianity to revolntionize
our present industrial system. There
In lies in u great measure. a helping
response to the bitter c,y.
