CUTS THE WRONG WAY

The Indians. Who Were Dissatisfied With
the Presence OF the Cattle Barons On
Their Lands, Now Miss Their Rent Nom
ey--Fears of Trouble.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, December l5.-
Word has reached here from Fort Reno.
In the Arapahoe Reservation, Indian Ter
ritory, that an outbreak is imminent
among the Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
Great dissatisfaction prevails among the
bucks of these tribes, which is aggravated
by the loss of the large sums of rent
money which they had been receiving for
the past ten years from the cattle barons.
Since President Cleveland has elected the
cattlemen from these reservations. of
course, rental payments have ceased.
The Indians who set up such a clamor at
the presence of white settlers never real
lied what a source of supply these white
intruders were. They paid from four to
ten cents an acre for the use of
grazing lands, and this money was di-
vlded quarterly per capita among the
bucks of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
tribes, and it kept them in whisky, to-
bacco, old plug hats, ETC., the entire year.
The period for distribution of a quarters
hseS luoI Ps.ooCO, ttHu tHC DuCkS IUtlt
from all parts of the Nation to receive
their stipend, but found nothing awaiting
them. Now they accuse the Government
OF robbing them, and are ready for an
outbreak. Those Chiefs who were most
urgent in demanding the expulsion of the
cattlemen are now the most rampant de-
nouncers of the Government. 1t was
thought the recent issues of annuity
goods by the Government at Darlington
Agency would pacify the disgruntled Red
skins, but it has had the very opposite
effect. This was the first annuity supply
to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in three
years, and the Indians thought they were
entitled to three times as much as usual.
But Congress made them no back appro-
priation. Hence, they claim they are be-
ing robbed. Murders and outrages may
be looked for in these reservations
shortly.

THE SOUDAN.
Preparations in England That Look Like
Another Campaign in the Soudan.

LONDON, December l6.-The growing
anxiety regarding the situation in Egypt,
noticed in these dispatches last night, is
still more apparent this evening. 1t is
learned that orders have been received at
the Government arsenals to prepare
munitions of war in large guam
titles and be in readiness to ship
them at once to the Soudan,
and that these orders were quickly fol-
lowed by urgent acquisitions yesterday
for immediate shipment of arms and
stores sufficient for fifty regiments. Fear
is expressed that the government may
have received some bad news from
Cairo that has not yet become
public The additional details
of the severe fighting at Koseshon Sun
day have been received. The British are
SAID to have repulsed the Arabs with
great slaughter. Those familiar with
Arab fighting know that this implies con-
siderable loss on the other side, and par
ticulars are anxiously awaited.

TINE ORGANIZATION OF NORTON.

THE ORGANIZATION OF NORTON.
The unorganized town CT Norton
is about to be organized, This it
seems to US, viii gire it great adj
vantsgcs. Norton is a town of some
fouT or FIVE huudred inhabitants,
and, We are informed, without a
minister, church, or school. 1t is of
course without representation in the
General Court. Its inhabitants are
without protection under the law,
except as they send for representa-
1ives of claw from some organized
town. This involves large expense,
and, being located on the Canada
line il is most convenient in crimi,
nal cases for the respondent to step
over into Canada before restraint
could be placed upon him. This
organization will thus give immedi.
ate protection, and secure to them a
home rule which will make the exc,
cution of justice sure, Not only
this, it will, by giving the town rep
resentation in the General Court,
and by other means, give the town
an Importance it does not now pos
soss. The organization of schools
and school districts lunless the town
system is adopted, and all the Incl
dents of town organization will
naturally follow, and give the towr
q new life, increasing energy, in
tevest, and Importance. 1t viii
take its place among the other town
organizations, and we predict it will
soon take rank with some of oul

The gentlemen of the press and
others, who have for the past three
months, been engaged in the labori-
Gus and rather thankless business of
constructing a Cabinet for Grover
Cleveland, seem to be sadly realiz,
ing the fact that their industrious
energies may be properly chronicled
among Stoves labors lost" 1t be-
gins to dawn on these patriotic gen
tlemen that Mr.. Cleveland is about
to commence the work of making a
Cabinet for himself F.!
By the way, it strikes us as rather
indicate and incongruous for any
body. however his position may be,
TO offer unasked, suggestions to the
President as to who shall constitute
his official family. A Cabinet Off
Ger occupies personal and official re
lations to the President not unl-,e
those Of 2 staff officer to . General
commanding an army. The personal
relations in each case are of the most
intimate and confidential character,
and they must be mutually agreea-

who would seek to select for q Gen

TOWN MEETING DAY.

On Tuesday next the people Of
the various towns of the State are to
choose their town officers for the en-.
suing year. The notices for these
annual meetings have been posted
for some time, and the question
"who shall we have for town Off
GERS" is, or should be, under discus
sion, for it is a question that may
we'll be discussed by the legal voters
in every town in the State, for upon
whom their choice rests depend, in a
great measure, a towns welfare and
prosperity. If there are any cleo
lions where strict party lines should
not be drawn, it is in these Town
or March meetings. This, we are
glad to state, is the case in Island
Pond. As matter of economy the
men who are best fitted, who will
best discharge the duties of these
offices should be selected to fill them.
We want men who will look closely
to a towns interest-=men who will
feel the responsibility of their posi-
tion, and whom their official capacity
will make the towns interest their
own. AS general rule, men who
are negligent and slack in their own
affairs will make careless, slack town
officers; in fact, this class of men
do not attend to their own business,
and should not be trusted with town
affairs. Especially should we be
careful in the selection Of board of
Listers. We should have business
men for Listers, men that have back.
bone, are honest, and possess good
Judgment. A word as to the in.
debtedneas of towns. There is nc
necessity of any town being and re-
naming constantly in debt; yet with
some men to manage, the debt will
constantly increase no matter how
heavy the taxes assessed. With an.
other class of town officers and under
tho same financial difficulties, the
debt will constantly decrease. Let
then, the legal voters look we'll to
their interests on Tuesday next by
making careful and jpdiclous Sc
lection of the men whom they elect
for town officers,

General, should be selected with two
considerations constantly in view.
One is capacity to perform import
