ONE of the pleasant features OF the
late rainfalls has been developed in the
great wash away of debris on the banks
OF streams. The damage done has not
been nearly so much as was appre-
hended, and unless the present dry
weather eventuates in drought, We may
yet count on abundant crops. Less rain
would nave been damaging, but more
will soon be wanted for corn and cotton.

to the fact that boot-blsck has no right

THE BARRIER MUST BE REMOVED.

The Indian Champion, published at
Atoka, in the Indian Territory, takes
THE HERALD's Sherman correspond
ent to task for intimating in a recent
special to this paper that "the Indian
Territory asst now exists Will be blotted
out soon." The Champion proceeds to
characterize such views as piece OF
"Know-nothing twaddle," and pro.
ceeds to say that "as long as the Indian
people hold together they can and will
maintain their rights even in the face
of a government which has proven itself
corrupt in almost every dealing with
the aborigines."
The HERALD is Of the opinion that
those who prophesy the learly destrnct-
ion Of the close corporations in the Ter
ritory known as the "Five.Civilized
Tribes" are correct in their surmisss.
Tho Territory as 1t exists is barrier;
the unreasonable appropriation by a
few Of the just inheritance of the many.
The favored Indians and Eastern sem
timentalists, who know next to moth
ing OF this Red brother, are
continually urging the corrupt
ion OF the government and the
injustice to the. Indian, when in reality
this government has treated its aborigi-
mes with more leniency, given them
more and forbore more than can DO dis
covered in the history of any other ma.
ton treating with savage foe. Every
Indian in the Territory is rich through
the foolish munihcenoe of this govern
ment, is In effect law unto himself
and defiant of the general laws of the
land.
The Territory, in the interest of gen.
eral commerce and intercourse between
such States as Missouri and Kansas
and Texas, "a an "Indian" Territory
should be blotted out, and, as the HER
AIDS correspondent intlmates, is likely
to be so transformed. The lido of pro
gress and tho necessities of adjoining
communities will force a change. Such
exclusiveness, such wheel within 9
wheel, is foreign 20 the genius of our
institutions, and, while tolerated from
a standpoint of sentimentslity for many
years past, cannot much longer romaln
as trade and social barrier.
