the transaction was discovered, say
the lands were not appraised ac-

rapidly as possible. frd this can
only be done by taking upon our
selves the knowledge and civiliza-
ton of the white man. Many bills
are now pending in congress, but
we think they would work badly
for the Osages, and hence would
ask you as q good friend to aid in
holding such measures back until
the Osages have advanced to such
degree, that they may be intro
duced with benefit and not harm to
our people. All we ask is that
your people shall stand faithfully
by the treaties they have made
with us.

THE house committee on
Indian affairs has decided to make
reports to the house on all bills
granting TO particular railroad COM
panies right of way through
the Indian Territory, notwith-
standing the fact that a general bill
on the subject has been favorably
reported to the house. This action
was taken because .he members of
the committee were o. the opinion
that some Of the special bills might
be acted upon by the house when
general bill on the subject would not
secure a hearing. The first Of
these bills granting right of way to
the Denison and Wichita railroad
was ordered to be favorably re-
ported.

THAT INvRsrIeATIoN.

Phillips knowledge about what
the act of March 3, 1888, which
appropriated the 100000 is per-
fectly amazing, especially when we
consider the wording of the act
itself and the want Of proof he has
failed to produce that sustains his
assertion. The following question
was put to him
"Then, Mr.. Phillips the act of
March 8; 1888, appr0priating $780,
600 for the Cherokees, says due
under appraisement,' must allude
solely TO the unoccupied lands west
OF the Arkansas river, does it not ?
Ans. "It alludes solely to the
occupied lands west of the Arkan-
sas river" In another place he
says there was no appraisement
at all. He's a funny fellow and
lies across himself in such an inno-
cent and childlike way that one
cannot keep from being amused at
an attitude wholly inconsistent with
his reputation for smartness. How
he can apply educ under appraise-
ment' to the occupied lands and not
to the unoccupied, all being west
of the Arkansas river, is a piece Of
ingenuity that excites admiration,
even if it is rather a reflection upon
the intelligence of the committee
and the public generally, that all
are lot Of idiots. He should have
stuck TO his text and declared there
was no appraisement at ali, but to
apply appraisement TO one portion
of the land simply TO suit the cir
cumstance, and not to the whole,
was an indiscreet resort for dodg-
ing. "Any port in a Storm" as
the sailor says. Pressed hard by
the committee, he went for the
nearest, and at the time seemingly
the safest, but found not as quiet
haven as the chief did when in
reply to question of the committee
as to the statement of Teller's that
the $500, 600 was on account Of all
lands west Of the Arkansas river,
he said: 81 cannot account for it
any more than any one else" He
is not as good at lodging as Phil
lips, and was wise in saying what
he did. Ignorance is bliss accord
ing 10 the old saying, and it was
foolish TO attempt to be as wise as
Phillips, although the report can
be easily understood, as all lands,
as referred tosin Mr.. Teller's report
and as applied TO our western lands,
is not conundrum beyond the
guessing Of an ordinary mind.
After speaking Of appraisement
as he did, and applying it where
he did, and as used in the act of
appropriation, Phillips said."There
was no appraisement of the occu-
pied tracts except the letter Of See
rotary Teller Of January 81, 1888"
Here comes in a splendid oppor.
tunity for him TO show his expert
ness in appropriating small occa-
sions TO sustain himself. How he
construes into appraisement the
words, Sin my opinion (of the
appropriation Of 100000 propos-
cd by the amendment is not an
unreasonable one, with this pro-
posed appropriation added, are not
believed to be in excess Of the value

INDIAN ORATORS.


in Washington recently called up
on Ex-Governor Curtin, of Penn
sylvania, and passed the evening
in speech-making and a general in
terchange of views. A gentleman
who was present sends US the ad-
dress of John Jumper, Seminole,
and Black Dog, chief of the Osages,
which we give below:
JOHN JUMPER SAID,
am glad to meet you here in
your house this evening. We are
Indians as you can well see, and
though some of US can understand
your words, | cannot but the kind
ly reception you have accorded us
and your manner during the ad-
dress Just made, convinced me that
so far as we are right in our claims,
we can rely on your friendship.
We are Indians not possessing the
great advantages of civilization
that you and your people have, but
we are using every means in our
power TO advance our people in the
way that your government has
marked out for us. Certain men,
bers Of your congress however, are
proposing measures by which we
DO not believe our people are in q
condition TO be benefited, and we
earnestly request that these meas
ures be reserved until we, under
the provisions Of our'treaties with
the government, shall have prepar-
cd our people for the change. We
ask nothing outside Of our treaties,
and appeal 10 you as one of the
great counselors of the American
nation 10 see 10 it that the United
States keeps her covenants and her
plighted faith with the remnant of
the original owners of this country.
/ sincerely thank you for this kind
ly reception and shall ever remem-
Der it as one Of the pleasant Incl
dents in our business relations with
the representatives Of the govern
ment of the United States.
BLACK DOG SAID:
You see the Osages here and /
can assure you we are glad 10 meet
you. We are not 50 well advanced
in the ways and customs of civiliz-
ed living as white people or the
civilized Indians in this audience.
We are few and feeble, but we are
endeavoring to DO all we can 10 fit
ourselves for a higher position in
life. Our forefathers did not seem
TO take much interest in the civili-
cation of the white man, and for
that reason the Osages are not so
far advanced perhaps as these other
nations, but we are not stationary.
The Osages have only recently
adopted a written code Of laws, and |
imperfect in many re-
spects is being administered with |
success and satisfaction |
TO our people. As coroboration Of |
the fact that we are making ener-
getic efforts 10 educate and fit our
people for walking in the white
mans path we point with satisfac-
lion TO the fact that our people by
act Ofcouncil have provided schools
and made il compulsory on parents
md guardians to send 10 those
,choolseyery child over seven years
n age. We do this because we feel
hat the Osages must III themselves {

An Asglun.

The ''labor" demonstration in Chicago on
Sunday, in which thousands Of aliens marched
under red banners, carrying notices In foreign
languages menacing to the industrial life of the
nation, was gravely suggestive of the mistake
that has been made in supposing that all men
are able to appreciate the blessings of liberty
and that all are capable of self f-goyernment.
The term can asylum for the oppressed sue-
gests beautiful theory, but in reducing it to
practice some of the larger cities of the United
State have become swarming places for CON-
munism and its attendant outrages. Men
whose greatest grievance is that working day
is ten hours long, and whose voice, in foreign
tongue, their indignation at being advised by a
sober, intelligent friend of labor to "drink wa
ter as cattle do" furnish an exempli6cation of
this ''asylum of the oppressed" idea that can
scarcely be said to give encouragement to
push the experiment further. Men who in.
terpret the term liberty to mean license grow
troublesome in proportion to the consideration
shown them.-Oreeonian
