CATTLE MEN VS.. AMERI
CAN CITIZENS.
To the Editor of the EAGLE.


To the Editor OF the EAGLE
1t may interest the many thousands of
American citizens who are obeying the
law by not invading the promised land
of Oklahoma, but are patiently awaiting
until congress gives them the desired
permission, as well as President Cieve-
land. Many well known Kansas citizens
who obeyed Cleveland's famous "forty
day" order and got out of the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservation, although it
bankrupted some of them to do it, to
know that the western part of the famous
Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation is
still being let as in old times to cattle
men, and that two foreign cattle COM
panies are holding it as stock range.
Nevertheless this is true.
The Texas Land and Cattle company,
composed of Scotchmen who live in
Dundee, Scotlond, and chartered under
the laws of Great Britain and Ireland.
control the western part of the reserva-
ton south from the Canadian river.
They have horse range on the Wash
tia river and Sergeant Major creek. This
company have a large ranch in southern
Texas and drive their cattle up here to
fatten ON their fine Indian Territory
range. They have their home ranch two
miles from the territory line in this
county, and Craze their cattle some
10000 head) on the Cheyenne reserva
ton.
The range north of the Canadian river
and extending north to the Cherokee
strip is claimed by the Dominion Cattle
company, composed of men who reside
in Canada and incorporated under the
laws of that dominion. They lease a
few acres of the Cherokee strip, have
their ranch house just inside the line, and
have camps and their cattle inside the
reservation. They have some 1900
head of cattle. 1t is generally known
here that a famous scout of Camp
Supply came through here last win
ter on scout and collected
81 800 from these men for mot seeing"
any cattle on his trip over the reserva-
ton, and from the fact that he still
makes periodical visit to this section and
interviews the managers of these COM
panies, one would think he was still
collecting rent from them.
1t is not known how these men man
age to pull the wool over the eyes of
the army officers Of TT. Elliott, who scout
up and down the line of the territory
once month, and have orders to drive
all cattle and intruders out of the reserva-
ton. It may be that the cattle are SO
far inside the reservation that they can
see no sign. Whatever the reason may
be, this matter should be investigated.
The state of Texas compels these cattle
men to pay her4 cents an acre for her I'M
occupied lands that they use, and these
men, by being in the territory evade
that. should be compelled to pay the tax
of 81 head allowed by law to the In
dams, if they are allowed to remain,
when so many Americans who want
homes are not permitted to remain.

Symmetry Of Statistics Shattered

re Eerilh44
-Four years ago, at the close Of Re
publican administration, it was officially
reported that there Were G0,000 shade
trees in the city of Washington and
likewise 80 900 negroes. making fair
allowance of one shade tree to each
colored citizen, or ore negro to each
shade tree, Just as public necessity
might dictate. This was fact OF great
statistical value, for the student Of
Washington could easily learn the
number of negroes by counting the
shade trees or the number Of shade trees
by counting the negrcs. The last report
shows there are CO, GOO shade trees and
10000 negroes, and TIE beautiful sym
metry of statistics has been shattered.
Scientific interests cannot fali 70 be
awakened TO an inquiry as to why the
shade trees did not flourish while the
negroes lid. and it Is proper that the
Smithsonian Institute should receive
such hearty support from congress as
will enable il - examine into the case
az once.

Cuts Both Ways.

Globe-Democrat.
We are inclined to think the trusts
will work out their own cure The in
dignation of consumers may have no
effect as the intention of parties con-
cerned is to reap a speedy harvest and be
prepared for future contingencies. But
the most probable outlook is that con-
solidated interests will create rivals of
the same sort, and so competition again
comes in as regulator of prices, al
though ON larger scale. The great salt
trust has already developed antagonism
of this SORT Drummer. member of
parliament, with others OF his colleagues
interested in brine wells, has given him
self to forming trades unions to keep up
the wages of the workmen, while they
stand out against the syndicate. The
trusts screw at both ends-do-vn on
wages and up on prices. The result will
be a combination of laborers and con-
sumers, and the establishment of com
petitive production.

That distinguished Presbyterian cler
gyman, the Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby
says the New York Sun, made a re-
markable proposition at yesterday ses-
sion of the commissioners for the revision
of the excise law. He proposed to
change the law so as to allow the beer
shops to retail the foamy liquor Oh Sun
days-that is to say, to fill the cans of
their customers through an aperture,
between the hours OF II and / o'clock of
that day" In justice to the distinguish
ed divine it is proper to say that the fore
going proposition was offered as com
promise of the unceasing contest he has
waged for years for the full observance
Of the Christian Sabbath. After persist
ent effort with failure as his reward, he
wisely concluded that a half loaf is bet
ter than no bread, and if his proposition
shall be accepted and lived up to there is
no right thinking person but will applaud
his wisdom and congratulate him on his
partial success.

Senator Sherman's little talk to the
Washington colored men Friday evening
was the talk of g statesman. He told
them that the talk of securing to them
the practical, peaceful enjoyment of the
rights and privileges already theoretical
ly possessed by them is the most difficult
problem IN American politics. and he ex-
planned TO them why it is difficult, point
ing out the constitutional restrictions
upon the power of the general govern
ment to interfere in their behalf. He
exhorted them 20 patience, courage,
hopefuluess, moderation, good conduct
and self-help. These prejudices will
disappear, he said, las you acquire ed
ucation and property" That is gospel
truth, and it cannot be preached by men
of Senator Sherman's standing and influ-
ence too often or too earnestly. There
are points in the senator's counseling
that could be studied by others ard act
cd upon with profit to all.

HOW KANSAS GIRLS KISS.
From the Parsons Sun.

From the Parsons Sun.
The Lawrence girl bows her stately head.
And she likes her STYLISH lips
In a firm hard way, and lets them 80,
IN spasmodlc little ships.
The Topeka girl removeth her specs
And freezetli her face with smile:
Then sticks out her lips like an open book,
And cheweth her WAX meanwhile
The Abilene girl says never word,
And you'd think She was rather tame.
With her practical views of the matter in hand,
But she gets there just the same.
The Wichita girl, the pride of the state,
In her clinging and soulful way.
Absorbs it all with yearning yearn
As big as a ton OF hay.
The Fort Scott girl gets a grip on herself,
AS she carefully takes of her hat
And she gra up the prize in a frightened way,
Like q terrier shaking rat.
The Fredonia girl. so gentle and sweet.
Lets her lips meet the coming kiss
With rapturous warmth, and the youthful souls
Float away on a Sc; OF bliss.
And the Emporla girl creature divine.
Looks into your eyes with her starlit orbs-
And puts her whole soul in her kiss.
The Hutchinson girl wifi first refuse.
Just to have you insist and coax,
But when she finally d. es consent,
Her Kiss. you'll confess, a.salty hoax
The oswego girl catches the mans mustachs
With grip as tight as glue
And opeping a little her ruby lips,
Puts the kiss on like a shoe.
THE Chetopa girl closes her dreamy eyes
When asked to osculate,
And iefs the vandal steal the kiss,
" hich she really likes 1rstrate.
The Independence girl neither signs nor pines,
Nor acts IN manner rude,
But she gees about kissing in a business-like way
That catches the average dude.
The Parsons girl on tiptoe stands.
Her ii pS so rosy. TEN pting and red;
You take her cheeks in bot your hands.
Then Letter go Murphy. Gallagher's dead.

Whether General Harrison did or did

Whether General Harrison did or did
not make the remark attributed to him
about not liking to be crowded" it is
entirely safe to assume that the exper-
ince is no more agreeable to him than it
would be to any other self-respecting
and self-reliant gentleman in his place
and charged with his responsibilities. 1t
may be added that General Harrison has
not thus far impressed the country as
very crowdable person. There is a'gen-
eral feeling that, while he keeps his
mind open to argument and is ready to
consider and weigh advice, he is not the
man to take kindly to attempted dicta-
ton.

THE CRY OF RAILWAY MANAGERS.

All at once and with almost startling
unanimity several Of the great railway
managers have discovered that the inter
state commerce law has been regularly
and Systematically violated by the great
trunk lines. This sudden discovery and
dash in the direction of virtue is not an
inexplicable matter. The secret of it
lies in the fact that there are too many
miles of road for the amount of business
for the last year or two, Or rather that
the lines represent too much money for
the amount of their traffic or earning
power, and something has got to be done
to do away with a competition which
cuts down the rates below the dividend
standard. There is no virtue or honesty
in the spasmodic cry of the arrangements
beyond that fact The interstate COM
merce law was never passed in the in
terest Of commerce. 1t was a delusion
so far as it pretended to regulate in favor
of the short haul and small shipper. and
the suspicion that the law was the behest
of the railway arrangements of the
Not'iitl = vas hOt OH unietSondDIe one.
The law ought to be either amended so
rs to permit the closest competition on
through or long hauls, without reference
to reasonable rates for short hauls. or
otherwise repealed. Open, unrestrained
competition, as is afforded and encour-
aged in every line of ordinary business,
should be the only law and universal
regulator for railroads, and trusts should
be absolutely prohibited. The inter
state law is essentially a pool rule and its
Legitimate outcome monopoly and CEN
traliZation.
