ORLAHOHA

Senator Plumb seems to think that
President Cleveland is the cause of de-
lay in opening up the unoccupied
Indian lands, judging by letter which
he has written Mr.. ]. w. Ross, presi-
dent of the Calwell board of trade.
The letter will be placed before the con-
vention now in session at Kansas City,
and will doubtless create somewhat of
a sensation. AS the matter is of in
terest to all, we reproduce it as fur
nished by Mr.. Ross:
UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHING
TON, Jan. 20, 1SSS-J. w. Ross, Presi-
dent, Caldwell, Kan. DEAR SIR am
duly in receipt of the memorial of
your board of trade, in which this con-
gress is asked to more fully consider
the vital Importance of passing the
Oklahoma bill, emanating from the
committe on territories, for the i'm
mediate organization of Oklahoma and
and the early opening to homestead
settlement of such lands of the Indian
Territory. The preamble to such
sons why the Indian Territory should
be opened to settlement, and a state
/ government established therein.
This is matter of great interest to
Caldwell and in fact to the entire
state of Kansas, as well as to large
numbers of people, who, as a conse-
quence of the proposed action, would be
able to obtain homes. So far as have
observed, no bill proposes, however, the
Immediate opening" of the lands to
settlement. The question of the settle
ment of the lands is left to depend upon
a negotiation to be made by the presi.
dent with the Indians at a certain
price. OF course it can readily be seer
that If the Indians would not agree Il
sell at this price the bill would fail Of
its purpose and the land would not bC
opened to settlement until further leg
islation. The president now ha!
ample authority under the act
of congress passed i'll 1855
to negotiate with the Indians, and if b,
would negotiate congress would thel
have basis to work upon, because i
could make an appropriation for tn
payment Of the lands, establish rules
and put people upon them at once
The measures pending are all, and per
, haps necessarily, of kind which mean
postpOnement for a long period O
time. My own opinion is that tn
thing to be done is to induce the pres
dent to act under the authority he nov
, has, and thus furnish an easy an,
/, prompt solution to this importan
question.

The teachers, Association.

The Lyon County Teachers Associa-
tion met Saturday afternoon in the
Garfield Building. 1t was the post
poned January meeting. On account
of the bad weather there was not
very large attendance, but those who
attended were well repaid for the ex-
ertion they made to be present, as the
programme was interesting and in
structive. Prof. Wilkinson presided,
and in his dry manner got of num-
Der of witty remarks. Miss Loua
Patty acted as secretary. These meet
ings are very profitable to teachers, and
all the county teachers should make an
effort to be present, as they learn the
experience of other teachers, which is
a help to all. The teachers who make
a practice of attending the associa-
ton make, as a general thing, the
most successful educators. The regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Lyon

"RIORERS..

There are people in Emporia who
would kick if they were residents OF
the Beautiful City described by st.
John, with its golden streets, because
the place did not provide each resident
with roller skates, or for some other
sensless reason.
The above is suggested by coyersa-
ton, overheard on Commercial street,
by one who was criticising our city and
its citizens for ''lack of enterprise, y
rings and other like talk of the
chronic kicker.
If our readers win notice the next
person of this description, the proba-
bilities are that the same thought may
strike them as did us on this occasion,
viz: That these grumblers are not doing
anything financially Themselves to adj
vance the interests of either the city or
county or anything looking to arriving
at the state Of affairs they are so GLIDE
to talk about as desirable and which
they are so willing to snarl and growl
and kick about because some one does
not bring about.
Were they busy in advancing the in
terests Of our city themselves, they
would not have so much time on hand
in which to find fault with those who
make and spend the dollars which have
already made US what we now are and
who are the only ones who are making
exertions at the present moment tc
place us still farther ahead in the race
of progress and prosperity.
Take any and every kicker you may
meet, and ten to one you will find, il
you investigate, that he has never Civ.
en- a cent toward advancing the genera
interests. And if, perchance, you do
find one who on some one occasion hai
subscribed few dollars, if you viii
still farther investigate you will FIND
that it was on an occasion and in some
particular manner whereby he saw TIVE
dollars sure for the one he invested.
The above does not apply to TIT
poorer men who have not the money t
spare-so far as the monetary matte
in concerned. But the previous re
marks do. For the poor man, if h.
can not subscribe to aid projects for tn
general good, can at least give cheer
ing word to those who do put up tn
money. And if he does not feel dis
posed to say good word for the plac
in which he resides, he can at least sa
nothing detrimental. He can keel
] silent.
In other words, if you can not sa
, something good and encouraging abOu
your city, for gracious sake say moth
ing at all. And, above all things
don't try and throw obstacles in tn
way of or find fault W it'll those who ar
{ trying to do something that may bene
fit our town-not even if you have
little pet scheme of your own whicl
they don't seem to think is the onl
salvation for the place.
