OKLAHOMA.

Tho speech of Col. Harkins, the Chicka-
saw delegate. before the House Committee
on Territories on Tuesday last, TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding, Congress cannot
afford any longer TO delay the opening OF
that Territoryto the white race. Tho truth
is the formation OF II was n great blunder
The Indians should never have been
herded together with view to
their self-civilization. The process has been
going on ever since 1885, and only very
infantile stage has been reached by many
of the Indians. Some OF the hall breeds
arc intelligent, even intellectual, but
there is still a large lcayen Of wildness that
makes cases for the United States courts
and victims for the gallows. Instead OF
being thus segregated, the Indian should
be put upon his mette in close
contact with the white man,
whose sustaining quality Of self-re-
lance assures him dominance wherever
and whenever he comes in contact
with an inferior race. What Con-
gress ought 10 do in the interest OF the
white race Is TO divide out the Indian
lands In soveralty giving each man, woman
and child 800 acres, to be held by them
and their heirs free from all contn-
goncies oil debt for scvcnty-Gve years,
and put up the remainder TO be sold
to the highest bidder at public
sale, the proceeds 10 be covered into the
Treasury TO be invested In United States
bonds, the interest Of which 10 be applied
IN TO the education Of all tho children Of
the Territory; and t2) 10 the maintenance
OF the old and dccropid men and women Of
the tribes. In this way the treaty rights
Of the Indians might be preserved and
justice done the white people who are
clamorous for the establishment Of the
Territory Of Oklahoma out Of which they
cannot much longer be kept except by
force constantly and very yigilantly en-.
ploycd, and that Is repugnant to our sys-
TEN Of government in which the people are
paramount. Oklahoma should be eslab-
lished. Tho interests OF the people Of the

A RECKLESS YOUNG RuFF1AN.
Outrageous Conduct Toward Cripple
Who Owed Him Bill.


Who Owed Him Bill.
late last evening James Robinson, coll
ored. appeared before Squire Barry, and
swore out warrant against II. II. Nc
Glinn, white, charging him with assault
and battery and assault with pistol.
Robinson lives at No. Eden row. Charles
ton hill, and is cripple, by reason Of his
left leg having been severely crushed by
falling blocks at one Of the congresses
about two months ago. McGlinn is clerk
in the storeof L. P. Ringwald, at the corner
Of Madison street and Charleston avenue.
Robinson owes Ringwald, or rather Mrs:
Ringwald, $305, as Ringwald no longer
stays at the store. According TO rumors
in the neighborhood, Ringwald, who is q
stone mason, married his wife who was a
widow about two years ago, and soon after
he quit his trade and they started gro
Gerry and boarding-house at the above
place. As to how they got along
domestically up to three or four
months ago is not known, but II is alleged
by near neighbors that serious difference
arose between them, and Ringwald left
the store and resumed his old trade here
in the city. Since that time young Nc.
Glinn, who had hitherto been q boarder
In the house, has been clerking there. He
claims that he went TO Robinson's house
yesterday afternoon to collect the bill due
Mrs. Rlngwald, and that Robinson refus.
ing to pay, hot words ensued, but that
was all.
On the other hand Robinson and his
wife both claim that McGlinn came 10 the
house and did not ask for the bill, but thai
the first remark he made was 10 accuse
Robinson OF telling lies on him. He wai
very abusive in his language, and Robin.
son, who was confined TO his chair, and
seeing that his visitor was armed, said to
him that he needn't draw his pistol for he
did not want nor was he able TO have
a difficulty with him, and there was no
need Of any as he had never said anything
about him. McGlinn whipped out his
pistol and, with an oath, said he was OF
great mind to kill him. Just then Robin
sons wife rushed in between them aud
began TO shove McGlinn toward the
door. The wife asserts that he threw
the pistol in her face and threatened
TO shoot her also, but she begged him not
TO harm her or her crippled husband, and
he went away swearing vengeance. Rob-
inson certainly meant not 10 be intimidat-
cd again, for II was learned that visitor
who called an hour or two later was denied
admission until he disclosed his identity,
and when he did get in he found the old
man sitting with his repeating army rifle
across his lap.
Constable Murphy arrested McGlinn
and locked him up about 10 o'clock last
night.

PASS THE BILL.

The reason why the people Of Memphis
want the Phelap bridge bill passed is that
1t will give them bridge Immediately.
The reason why they don't want it 10
fail is that without II they would
be left once more at the mercy
OF the Van Benthuysen party. II Mr..
Van Benthuysen should show TO the
committee a certified check for the full
amount OF the cost Of the bridge, and he
should be made 10 show II or its equiva-
lent II would not be guarantee that he
would build tho bridge, for tho reason
that lac has 10 other object in the matter
than the pecuniary profit; and II he should
subsequently find that the bridge might
not pay, or that the bonds could not be
sold for a satisfactory price. no human
power could compel him TO build IL
against his inclination. But the Phelan
bill gives the railroads the right to build.
They have another object than the secur-
ing OF the bridge dividends. They desire
TO facilitate their business, and bridge
has become to them IN imperative ncces.
sity. They must have II whether II will
pay or not directly. II win certainly pay
them indirectly. The method OF trans.
porting cars across the river by boats il
too primitive, too troublesome and utterly
ut variance TO modern methods. They
need II In order 10 compete with the
northern, east and west lines. They can
not afford TO DO without II. They
must have 1t to hold their trade.
This necessity WIN compel them TO
build the bridge under tho Phean bill.
Mr.. Van Denthuysen is under no such ne.
costly: lie can abandon the enterprise at
any moment lie has never shown any
evidence that he pnrposcd to build IL, and
the public believes that his charter Is sim.
ply Tor ealc. lie cannot plead that he has
recently bought the charter and has not
had time TO undertake the work. In 10.
sponse to such a plea the people can say
that this charter was granted long ago. II
Is nothing TO them whether Il has since
passed through two hands or 1000 hands.
They have TO plead that the charter has
not produced bridge though Tar moro
than sufficient time has been granted, and
u Mr.. Van Bcnihuyscn bought II he only
bought II ms ono might buy any antique
relic. The people have nothing to do with
Mr.. Van Benthuysen and his party. They
have charter; let them paddle the canoe
they have bought Their possession Of
this piece Of bric-a-brac gives them no
right whatever TO stand IN the way OF
Others. Mr.. Van Dcnthuyscn's position Is
that Congress in granting bridge charter
forever cs,opped the building Of a bridge II
the parties holding tina, charter concluded
TO postpone It's building until the trump
Of Gabriel sounded the kncll Of the world.
Most monsirously absurd Is this position.
Mr. Van DonIhuyscn has no right upon
which he can claim an audience before the
committee Congress might gmnt forty
charters II II desired. His intrusion is i'm.
pertinent.
