Ruined by Too Much Money.

The career Of a young man rnined
by too much money ended by suicide
Ut Kansas City recently. Inheriling 4
s;.rge fortune from his father. who died
twenty years ago. he found himself
with nearly Il n illion dollars by The
rise III real-estate values. He evident
ly thought this was more money than
could possibly be spent but he d id his
.brs ITO spe, d it, and was able 10 90,
rid OF a great quantity. Money to him
was a disaster aud curse. a far
more valuable inheritance would have
been a level head and a willingness to

gambling. liquor and kindred vices
look possession Of his life to the exclu-
sion Of all manhood, virtue and useful
ness. Nothing in his career in The
past few years became him SO much as
the ending Of it. The moral Of it all
is that young man may have wors,
luck than to b. poor and far better
luck than to be rich. ~ Chicago Mail.

There has been much discussion
Of late, on this reservation, rela-
tive to the NELSON bill.'' There
seems to be a unanimity Of feeling
against some Of It's provisions,
viz:
The insufhciency Of land as
proposed to be allotted to each in
dividual,
The common fund.- plan,
The unreasonable restrictions
as proposed regarding the allot-
ment Of land to agricultural lands
only, etc.
We would suggest that meet.
ing, to discuss these questions, be
called at an early day, in order
that a thorough understanding Of
the desires Of the people living on
this reservation may become
known regarding these matters,
so that the representatives Of the
tribe may be better prepared to
convey, to the Commissions ap-
pointed to negotiate with the
ChippeWas, any modification Of
the bill as will best meet the ap-
proval Of the tribe.

4 N44IION,S HONOR IN PERIL

4 NATIONS HONOR IN PERIL.
We take pleasure, this week, in
quoting m able editorial from our
out-spoken and esteemed cotempo-
|rary, the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
entitled Honor and order at
stake. " The article is terse in
the expression Of its sentiment,
fair, square and positive on It's
issues regarding National honor
and obligations, especially in. re-
|lation to the treaty right and
natural right on the side Of the
red man. This is as it should be
and as it ought to be. The views
expressed happily coincide with
the sentiment proclaimed in the
last issue Of the Progress, and, we
candidly believe, will meet the IA
vor and appreciation Of all fair
minded readers and the hearty in
IdOrsement of the friends Of .Jnsticn
and Humanity.
Verify, it is the duty Of the
Government to deal with these
men as sharply and Immediately
as with any other
Glass of Robbers.
Had the sanguine fextures Of such
policy been more literally mani
tested in the management Of Indi-
an affairs Of the past, a Nations
history would not, to-day, reflect
with sorrow on the tear-stained
pages recounting the sad memo
ries Of brave Custer and his loyal
legion who 50 heroically persisted
in the battle Of the Little Big
Horn, nor the sainted HELEN
Jackson had no needs to have writ
ten a a century Of dishonor.''
The disappointed boomers are
invading the Cherokee strip, and
propose to possess themselves Of
that and as much more territory
belonging to the Indian tribes az
they may covet. They are not
people Of squeamish morals. Nor
has the surfacing Of semi.civili-
zation deprived the Indians Of the
territory Of disposition to main
tain their rights. It is evident
that therewill be trouble, and Of a
Most Serious Kind,
IN the region bordering on Okaho-
ma, unless the federal authorities
act with such promptitude and de-
cision as to discourage once and
for all the waiting horde of SQUAT
tiers. #
There is no doubt at all Of the
conspiracy to gobble up the Cher
okee strip. There is no doubt that
this plan does not originate among
those disappointed Of securing
homestead in the recently opened
territory, but was matured long in
advance, and carefully covered by
2 pretense Of moving on Oklaho-
ma. It is the lands belonging to the
indians upon Which the specuIator
has had q coUetous eye fixed these
many years. The men Of the i'm
mediate neighborhood, the acute
members Of the band Of boomers
who have been hanging upon the
borders Of Oklahoma, and are
thoroughly acquainted with its
natural resources, knew that it
was no Eden. But they believed
it to be possible, Oklahoma once

At the annual reunion of the alumni Of
Boston University law school Wednesday
evening many good things were said of the
lawyers. as might have been expected. Ex-
Governor john ID. Long said that the lawyer
was and always had been the one man in a
community to whom the community gave its
trust, upon whom it relied and whom it Sc
lected for its adviser and administrator. The
truth of this will be disputed by no one, for
the business OF every day is the standing
proof of 1t. In another realm OF activity the
lawyer is not SO often measured at his true
worth; and the words which Prof. John 0rn-
dronaux, of New York. spoke for the lawyer
as legislator were richly merlted Prof.
Orndronaux may have made too sweeping a
statement when he said that when lawyers
should be excluded from the realms Of legls-
lation, legislation would have been reduced
to type of the Chatham street performance
in trading: but nothing is truer than, as the
speaker said, that it Is the integrity of the
bar, and its habit of looking at all points
from an equitable standpoint of justice that
has given to our legislation, as counted by
the character of the bar. its highest and its
widest influence. 1t is somewhat the fashion
TO deprecate the prominence of lawyers as
Legislators; and the idea is very frequently
expressed that it would be better to seLd to
our legislatures more farmers, mechanics
and merchants. and fewer lawyers. Those
who say this do not know the inestimable
services which honest lawyers perform as
lawmakers; both in perfecting the necessa-
ry details Of legislation, and in maintaining
for legislation. often against great odds, a
character for impartlality and harmony
with public interest.

The day Of the Bayards and Salisbury S
must surely be coming to an end In Delaware
when staunch Democratic paper like the
Dover Index declaims thus: I'm considera-
ton of the attitude assumed by the Salisbury
family In making political renegades of them
selves, the Governor outraged the sense of
Democratic decency and smirched high
prerogatiye when he appointed John F.
Salisbury as Secretary of State, and virtu-
ally let this political fratricide kiss the cold
cheek OF the victim at whom he has aimed
such a foul blow" The Governor referred
to is Governor Biggs, Democrat. and the
act described in such poetic terms OF indig-
nation is the appointment by the aforesaid
Governor of John f. SALISBURY as Secretary
of State. This appointee, who is nephew of
ex-United States Senator Salisbury, is ac-
cused by the Democrats OF helping turn the
State over to the Republicans at the last
election, when he discovered that his uncle s
faction could not elect majority OF the leg
islature. Let the Democrats OF Delaware
fight all they want to; meanwhile good
Republican named Higgins sits In the Sena-
torial seat OF the Saulsburys. while another
good Republican with some good, flesh
name is no doubt preparing to make a good
fight for the seat of the Bayards.
