CoMMENDABLE FoRBEARANcE.

The Hartford Courant thinks it ''a
mighty cheerful fact in a pretty cold
world" that merchants of the east, and
provision dealers especially, did not take
advantage of the conditions produced by
the late storm in that region to shove up
prices. Goods were sold," says the
Courant, ''about as hitherto, save that
customers were restricted in their pur-
chases, SO that as many as possible could
be supplied" That paper, in that con-
nection, moralizes upon the situation in
this way:
Now there never was better chance to
engineer corner or a trust combination"
for the regulation OF prices than the last
few days have offered. If the butchers and
grocers had made a pool of their Inter
ests" and had said to the public: Pay us
our prices, they would have made more
money and more enemies than in years OF
ordinary business They had u.s." The
mere fact of their raising prices would
have frightened people into buying, and
the profits would have been big. You can
see in all this the whole philosophy and
ferocity OF the corner" and the trust. y
Fortunately we see it by rejecting that it
is what we did not have. On the contrary,
we had good nature, kindness, considera-
ton and fair play.
Knowing the leading characteristic of
its people to make the most of every op-
portunity in business way, as it does,
the Courant's implied surprise that they
did not, in this instance, is not surpris-
ing, and it was not inappropriate that it
should compliment them upon the spirit
Of forbearance SO markedly manifest on
the occasion named.

the senate by Senator Dawes pro-
yiding for the allotment of
lands in severalty to the In
dian head of a family, giving to each
such a title to his one hundred and sixty
acres of land, has been criticised no lit
tie, and the criticisms in one or two in
stances have been SO unjust and unfair
that the senator has felt constrained to
reply so as TO meet and correct as far as
he thus could the erroneous notions pro-
mulgated by the critics and likely to be
taken UP by others. If the bill becomes
a law it will do for the beneficiaries
more than any law has ever done for
any citizen in that direction. For a
period of twenty five years at least, he
cannot ALLEVIATE his land, he cannot le-
gally obligate himself to sell it at the
end of the quarter century, it cannot be
taxed, it cannot be taken for his debts.
nothing but an act of congress can oust
him from his ownership and possession.
Having done this for the Indian, legis-
lation, Senator Dawes thinks, will have
done all for him it can do. The
rest he must do for himself, with
such help, tuition and encourage
ment as the humane and christian people
of the country may see their way to af-
fording him. There must be begotten
in him." says the senator, "a love of the
home which the statute has given him,
and ambition and hope that through it
he may come up to be not only citizen
if fact but self-supporting member of
the society and people among whom he
lives. This cannot be done by enact
ment. 1t must be done by outside pa
tent labor and constant and vigilant care
of the Indian for the twenty-five years
or more of his pupilage. Otherwise his
last state, like that of the Stockbridge
Indians, will be worse than his first"
The senator is right on this last point.
at any rate. The law can do much for
the Indians; the patient, judicious help
of good people, unselfishly solicitous
for his welfare, can do more: but in the
end his fate will remain in his own
hands. He will have to make his choice
between good and evil. civilization and
extinction. for himself. The most the
law and the good people can do is to try
to persuade and educate him into choos-
ing rightly.

CANADIAN. Texas. March IS, 1888.
The ''strike" has reached even us in
this little corner of the great state of
Texas. We received our mail this morn
ing, but as the agent has received orders
not to accept any more freight;..we do
not know how soon we NAV have our
railroad connection entirely cut off. II
the strike should continue for any great
length of time it would be a great mis-
fortune to us, as, already, almost panic
exists, as we depend entirely upon the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road for
our supplies
Our town has been progressing nicely
and we hope nothing will happen to re-
tard us even for week. Several new
houses are being built and our new
1000 bridge is progressing finely. about
one-half of the plies being already driven.
We have had quite large number of
visitors during the past few days.
Some seeking investments for their
money, while others have come
to take up land and increase the popula-
ton of our county by just so many.
Already the ''prairie schooner has made
its appearance, and we expect TO see
many of them during the next few
months. We propose to welcome all
who come, and We believe they will not
be disappointed in their expectations.
Our county immigration society is get
ting out special paper containing maps
of the Panhandle, of Hemphill county
and of the city of Canadian and printed
matter showing up our special induce
ments. 1t will be issued in about a
week.
A festival by the ladies of the Union
Sunday school last Friday evening, for
the purpose of purchasing an organ,
netty the nice little sum of $41-pretty
good for a town of 500 and only seven
months old, was it not? We have moth
ing further at present of general Interest.
