THE Arkansas City Traveller in
discussing the Indian question
quotes the opinion and recommen-
dation Of Gen. Sheridan upon the
subject, Sheridan is a good gen.
eral and fighter. but shows too much
the disposition Of commander,
and not bit of legislator who
regards the laws he helps TO make.
Being what he is and used to COM
mand, he carries himself into his
recommendations, regardless Of the
civil rights of people. To allot
800 acres of land 10 the heads of
families, and to sell the balance
for the benefit Of the Indians is as
much an outrage upon them as il
would be TO allot an equal number
ofaeres to the large land holders
of Kansas, and TO dispose Of the
balance for their benefit. Gen.
Sheridan does not seem TO know
that sll families are not equal in
number, and that in the distribu-
tion Of property equally great
Injustice would be done some
while others would be benefited.
The taking ones land and selling
it because you think he has no use
for il sud that others want it, is
hut a spesies of communism that
could be just as consistently APP
piled TO ones cattle, or horses or
any other property he may have.
lfhis recommendation is good for
Nhe Indian. il ought TO be good for
tho white man. There can be no
difference as far as principle Is conf
corned. The difference is only in
tho opiuion Of some that an Indian
has no nights that should be res
pected, or that she white man ought
not TO be denied any thing that the
fnalan has If he, the white man,

rERRIroRY OF OKLAHOMA.

The crop of bills TO organize the
territory of Oklahoma has seldom
heretofore been as plentiful as at
present. The Choctaw, Chicka-
saw, Seminole, and Greek delega-
tions are wrestling with No. 315,
and Mr.. L. b. Bell being in Wash
ington on private business was also
in the "he. muck" A printed copy
Of their objections has been receiy-
ed, which present about the same
grounds heretofore SO often fought
over by former delegations against
similar measures. II is almost
impossible TO produce anything
new in opposing territorial bills, as
every species Of argument upon
this subject has been exhausted
years ago, and all that can be done
now is to bring forward the old
stripped Of yerb.ace as Sullivan TO
the buT when ready for the ring.

THE bill TO extend civil jurisdic-

over this country in causes arising
between citizens and non-eitizens,
has been reported fayorably by the
house judiciary committee. Its
passage by both branches of con-
gress seems probable.

IT SEEMS that Che delegations
from the territory to Washington
are meeting questions Of Indian
rights brayely. The Cherokee ma
ton has heretofore stood in the
front and fought for the rights Of
all when many Of the tribes had
no delegations in Washington.
Now she rests from her lsbors in a
sort of dolce far nieate, and plac-
idly looks on while the others en-
gage in a free fight. IT'S well per-
haps that It is as it is, because a
fact will be demonstrated that
troubles lave always been magni-
fed and achievements blown up, TO
show what smart delegations we
have.

Mr. =. b. DELL's rel tees be-
fore Il house committee on terri
tories has won for him considera-
BILE putlic notice and deservedly so.
Mr.. Bells wit may not be purely
Attic, but it was put in in such a
way that its plainness and truth
fulness had more effect than had it
been more elegant or classical.
His quick, witty rejoinders found
proper occasion for use and, doubt
less did more good than an elabo-
rate argument of hours, in which
a presentation of all the merits Of
Indian rights, as are defined by
treaties, laws of congress and de-
eisions Of the supreme court. is
elegantly done. Ii was the bust
ness Of that committee to under
stand, first, the grounds upon which
they were proceeding and to ac-
quaint themselves as to what rights
they were infringing upon. This
they certainly did, and from the
tenor of Mr.. Srringer's questions
it appears that but little or no at
tentation was going TO be paid TO a
knowledge Of such facts. This
being the case, Mr.. Bells wit was
more at point than any labored ar
gument he could have made, OF a
summing up Of the treaties, laws
and supreme court decisions that
authorize, define and protect the
Indian in his rights.

been prepared showing the number
of persons who were ignored by
the Cherokee nation in the divis-

in this city and vicinity, with the exception
Of the Riverside and Top mills, were Off

A Furious Storm.

About halfpsst seven o'clock last night
an unusually severe storm Of wind and rain
struck this city, and for a time things
looked rather equally, and visions of awful
wrecks by cyclones fitted through more
than one mind. The wind howled dismally
about the street corners, and over the roofd
OF the houses, whirliug along tree branches,
shingles, signs and other light objects. A
considerable amount of damage was done
to shade trees aud shrubbery in various
psrts.of the city and on the Island, and
some glass was broken by the wind-nota-
bly, a large pane in Sheib's music store. The
storm was accompanied by very vivid light
ming.
