Oklahoma Territory.

Gen. James b. Weaver, OF Iowa, and the
Hon. Sidney Clarke, ex-mcmber OF congress
from Kansas. addressed the house COM
mittee on territories on the Sd in behalf OF
the organization OF the territory OF Okla
HON. The general stated that the lands
are now in the illegal possession OF foreign
and other cattle syndicates. No Indians
had occupied them for twenty years, and
it was not now the policy OF the govern
ment to settle any more Indians in the ter
ritory. Every consideration OF good gov
eminent and fair dealing with the Indians
and people, demands, he said, that this I'M
occupied land should open to settlement
under well guarded regulations. Mr.. Clark
agreed that the only remedy for the dis
graceful state OF affairs now existing in the
territory was in congress, and he urged the
committee to come to the relief OF the peo-
pie as against the rule OF illegal monopolies
and synlicates.

Official Agriculture.

An effort is to be made in congress to
provide for agricultural experiment sta
tons. This is but a part and parcel of
the never ending pressure to have the
government do everything, What is
there in the agricultural calling over
and above any other calling which de
mands governmental experimentation
and instruction? If there is any one
occupation in the United States which
needs official attention less than agricul-
ture the fact is not generally known.
There are numerous gentlemen and
practical farmers Throughout the coun-
try who are making experiments in
stOck-breeding and testing the capaci-
ties of soil and climate in every possible
way, and it is utterly out of the question
for the government to compete with
them.
The experience of the immortal lie
Due, who spent thousands of the public
dollars in officially trying to find out
something about the cultivation of tea,
after many private individuals had ex-
haustively been over the same ground,
furnishes good illustration of how this
sort of thing works. The sorghum cpl
sode is another case in point. The value
placed on the services of the agricultur-
al bureau and on the published agricul-
tural reports is not of a character to en-
courage an expansion in this line of gov
crnment action or of distributing waste
paper.
A well-edited agricultural journal dis
seminates more useful information
among the farming community than any
government agency is capable of, while
as pioneer in the possibilities of the
calling the government would fall so far
behind the voluntary explorers con
amore as to be utterly ridiculous. The
project of teaching the American farm.

ment officials is about as reasonable a9

Barbarous Christianity.

1t appears there are some Christians
in the Russian empire who retain one
Enthusiastically pagan custom of their
forefathers-the sacrifice of beasts as a
part of public worship. Not long ago
the 81. Petersburg Zeitung stated that
this practice was in use on certain oc-
casions at Wyborg, in northern Finland
among the Karetes, who are devoted adj
herents to the orthodox church. The
Sriet now states that the same ritual
survives among the orthodox islanders
Of Mantschinschara, about twenty-five
yersts from the monastery of Walaam,
where there is a chapel dedicated to the
Prophet Elias. Several times every
year three oxen, and sometimes more,
are brought by Christian people to the
chapel. in the front of which they are
solemnly slaughtered amid the ringing
of bells The dead beasts, however,
are not now burned, rs they formerly
were, but are boiled, and the pilgrims,
together with the villagers, make a
hearty dinner out of the sacred tlesh.

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.
The Same HacinD Been Made by the Con

The Same Hacing Been Made by the Com
missioner General of the Land Office.
The commissioner general OF the land Of
flee has made the startling discovery that
the Indian title to about 10 900, 600 acres
OF land in North Dakota has not been ex.
tinguished, despite Secretary Teller's order
in October, 1884, opening those lands, and
the subsequent settlement by inhabitants
OF what may comprise fourteen or fifteen
counties, most OF which are organized and
contain 20, 900 people. The facts as recited
by Commissioner Sparks in letter to
the survey or general OF Dakota show that
the Pembina Chppewas made treaty
with the United States ceding the Red
River valley country in Minnesota and
the country lying west and north OF
Devils lake still belonging to the Indians,
but most OF the Pembina Chippewas went
on a new reservation, and Mink and Tur-
tie Mountain band OF only $50 Indians
took up their homes in the disputed district
and claimed to be the owners OF this farm
OF 100000 acres. The land offices in
Dakota were notified that no surveys ould
be sanctioned in said district. Two years
afterwards Secretary OF the Interior Teller
reviewed the case and decided that the In
dian claim was not well grounded and in
1882 this tract was thrown open to settle.
ment. Commissioner Sparks states that in
view oil these facts, and the presumption
that the question will be submitted to con-
gress, he had decided to suspend all survey
ing contracts in this district indefinitely.
Portions OF the Grand Forks and Bismarck
land districts are also affected by this
DrucF.

Issuing Land Patents.

Washington special; Representative
Dorsey had a long interview with Commits
sioner Sparks yesterday with reference to
the issuing OF land patents. Dorsey asked
him to modify his order and allow patents
to issue to settlers who are in actual pos.
session OF their land. Gen. Sparks has the
matter under consideration. He said that
II some plan could be devised by which that
could be done without permitting fraud hs
would be glad to do it, but he was deter
mined that no guilty man should escape.
Representative Dorsey stated that honest
settlers were suffering from the misdeeds OF
dishonest men, and suggested that spe.
cial commission OF experts be appointed to
take up and dispose of those cases in
which no charges OF fraud are made. Gen.
Sparks promised to consider the matter
and seemed favorable to the plan sug-

Winter TransnIanting.

Large trees may be transplanted with toler-
able safety by removing large ball OF frozen
earth with the roots. A trench may DO dug
around the tree two or three feet from the
trunk late in autumn, sufficiently deep to
sever al the horizontal roots. The hole for
the reception of the tree should also be dug be-
fore the ground freezes; then in winter at
time when the soil at the base of the tree Is
frozen solid, back the forward truck of farm
wagon against the trunk, lift the tongue erect
and strap 1t firmly TO the body. Then loosen
the tree at the base by digging under 1t suffi-
ciently to cut the tap-root. Attach rope
near the top of the trunk, and by the aid Of
team the tree may be lifted from its bed and
laid PROSTATE, the heavy base resting across
the axle Of the truck. Then hitch the team to
the rear of the truck, and the tree may be read
lily dragged to its place. As thorough trim
ming will be necessary to counterbalance the
loss of roots it is matter Of economy to cut
away a considerable part of the top before the
removal

WHAT CONSTITUTES THE NOBLE
MAN7

What constitutes the noble man
And fifty measures life's brief spani
The breath Of famel
A titled namee
Some creed believed
Some deed achievedi
The idle pomp Of klngly powera
The empty trappings Of an hour'
Let those who prize the crowds behest
Stand slaves to folly's train confessed,
Enjoy day
OF sordid sway,
Or glory won
On Marathon,
Or Burmah's gold with ease attained,
Or wldened realms ignobly gained.
But grander far than power or pef
The souls dominion over self,
A heart aglow
For others woe,
The high-born thought,
The grandly wrought
Resolve attuned to exalted end;
These noble manhood e'er attained.
Who thus fulfills his Makers trust
In simple love of virtue, must
His name enshrined
BY all his kind,
Enwreathed upon
The escutcheon
or true renown, complete his days
Mid earth and Heavens conspiring praise.

day when they can listen to the decision OF Judge
Aldrich, which will be ready early next week
While the senior counsel for the church this after

custom, was thrust into his mouth wrong end fore

paper; and ParSon Downs chewed the end OF re-

AT $3.50 Gen. Butler began his argument. His
points We're that the Bowdoin-Sqnare Baptist
statute, ~ by virtue OF It's own bylaws and cD
by the tenetS, order and discipline OF the Baptist
church. This argument took him back to the
days OF Roger Williams; thence to the founding

rival Harvard, and did rival 1T until Harvard stole
the property OF the Congregational church and
turned Unitarian" graceful allusion to the fact
that Harvard stopped comforting degrees upon

"Whether hisimproper conduct consisted In catch

or in stealing horses, Mr.. Downs had not been In

being made to re-establish Downs In hispulpit.
