The Bright Men Who Keep the Public In

The ears of the public, whereby they
are informed of the goings on in the
popular branch of Congress, are To-
Gated over the Speakers chair in the
gallery. There the correspondents of
the various newspapers throughout the
country are ''all ears and eyes, to ey-
cry thing that is going on. The aver
age newspaper man in the House gal
lery does not, however, keep his ears
strained perpetually to the hum that
arises His attitude is generally that
of Indifference and inattention. By
long practice or by instinct he has
learned to hear only that which is
worth hearing and that never escapes
him. Whether engaged in cracking
jokes in the gallery or in writing in
the reporters room, he manages to
know whenever any thing of interest
is being said or is doing. The tele-
graph office is in the reporters room

Not long since Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the
lawyer, was arguing case before Justice
Carter. She didn't get on very well, and
every point she took the Justice told her
she could not take that point. Mrs. Lock-
wood was harassed and nervous. She
threw up her hands and exclaimed in a
fine, full voice: "Well, will your Honor

vouehed FOR by . Preacher.
Washington (Ga.) Gazette. |

One day last week Mr.. Bob Griffin, re-
siding near Smiths Mills, made the best
shot at wild turkeys we have ever yet
chronicled. We had better state how
he killed them before we give the number.
He had made blind and baited for the
birds. When they discovered their morn
Ing meal they punched, and were eagerly
devouring it when Mr.. Griffin turned loose
both barrels of his gun on them. Seven
turkeys were left on the field, only four Of
the drove flying off. Even with his fine
chance for shot Mr.. Griffin says he was
surprised himself when he found
he had killed so many. At the auspi-
cious moment he was SO feverish with
excitement he could scarcely keep his gun
in range of the turkeys. All of this is
vouched for by a well-known Baptist
preacher who lives in the neighborhood.

An Editors $4,000 Vase.
fBrooklyn Eagle. I

Charles A. Dana once paid five thousand
dollars for vase, but after doing so was
filed with qualms. He could hardly sleep
that night for thinking of his apparent
folly, and next day he went to the dealer
of whom the article was purchased and
began to grumble. The dealer said quick
ly: "If you are dissatisfied with your bar
gain, Mr.. Dana, bring it right back to me
and you shall have your money" The ed
itor of the Sun hadn't another word to say
and the vase is still in his cabinet.

ANOTHER NEW TERRITORY.

Congressman Burns has largely in
corporated the plans set forth by the
EAGLE, in a bin which proposes 10
cree; an independent territory out of
No Mans Land. The objection to his
bill is that it don't embrace enough
territory. If he would extend his
eastern line TO the 9sth meridian and
provide for the removal of the scat
tered Indians now west of that line
and they are few in number-the en-
tire situation would be of easy solu-
ton. A dispatch from Washington
says:
Congressman Burns will introduce
in the house tomorrow, bill which
provides that the strip of public lands
known as NO Mans Land" which
lies north Of the Panhandle of Texas,
and south of Kansas and Colorado.
shall be organized as the territory of
Cimarron.
As there are no Indian titles to this
strip of country. the bill in question
has the sanction of the department of
the interior, and viii probably become
a law at the next session of congress.
Ii provides for the usual complement
of territorial officials, an immediate
survey of the territory, the opening
up of it to settlement. necessary land
officers, the demolition of the wire
fences with which it has been illegally
enclosed by cattlemen, and the setting
aside of a given number ofsections for
school purposes, which shall not be
disposed OF until the territory is adj
mitted into the union. 1t moreover
provides that no person or individual
shall acquire title TO more than $50
acres of land.

TERRITORIAL RIGHT OF WAY.

In considering the number of re-
sponsible railway corporations desir-
ing a right OF way for extensions of
their lines through the Indian terri
tory, and the number of bills already
introduced in congress providing for
such rights, il has seemed to Us. for
some months past, that the most, that
the only satisfactory way of disposine
of the entire question TO the sa:isfac-
ton of everybody, would be the intro
duction and massage of a bill, general
in its provisions, giving any company
.he right TO buIid through the Terri
tory that would comply with reason
able limits as TO time, style of con-
struction, etc, after filing with the
secretary of the interior q plat and
profile of their proposed route or
routes. We have, in fact, for some
time been expecting to see such a bill
introduced from Kansas, Missouri,
Arkansas or Texas, all of which
states are being hampered in their
commerce by this unnatural bar TO
their lines. Such bill would only en-
nance the value of Indian possessions
and reserves and not harm anybody
or interest in the remotest degree
Besides, such bill would be followed
by the immediate construction of a
number of roads, which construction
and roads would 90 far TO settle the
Indian problem.

will say that as soon as it was authOri-
lively given out that the above named
road would build into Kansas we at
once wrote to Mr.. Il. Il. Cable, presi-
dent of that line, informing him that
our people wanted his road; wanted il
bad and would vote liberal aid to Sc
cure it. We asked him TO put us in
communication with somebody con-
nected with his road with whom we
could ascertain the facts and with
whom we could negotiate. We re-
r.eived the following in reply:

Mr.. Low Is the division solicitor of

Our Chelsea friends will observe
that we did write to the Rock Island
people nearly month ago, and had
this company had any intention of
building to this portion of Kansas
does he or anybody else suppose Mr..
Low would have written us such al
unsatisfactory letter?
Topeka is putting forth strenuous eff
forts to get the Rock Island road,
with but little hopes of success. If
the line is built at all it will go west of
Topeka and west of EmpOria. If it
misses Topeka and Emporia how I'M
der heavens are we to get ii!
Having offered aid to the Rock Is
land people, and having offered TO
meet them with a good strong COM
mittee at any time or place, to discuss
the project of building road to the
Walnut valley, and having gotten a
lack eve, we quit.
The Rock Island road is chartered
to points west of US. The president
OF the Rock Island neglects or refuses
TO consider or entertain any propo
siiion from the people of this
county, looking to the extension
of his line to the Walnut valley. Mr.
Jones says he is in no way connected
with the Rock Island road. Topeka
has a strong committee appointed to
secure the building of the Rock Island
road TO that town, the impression
being prevalent there that it is going
further west than Topeka, if it is built
az all. Upon the whole, might We not,
under tie circumstances, drop the
Rock Island from our list of railroad
possibilities, for the present at least?-
