His Continuance in Office Considered a

brief report made on the same subject was
Influenced by statement made by Post
master Paul that his term had expired
This proved false. The testimony adduced
showed imperfect work and favoritism in
the Office and the report says: Official

to produce swindliDg Qualifications
whereby certain men could be
rejected, although entitled to an ap-
pointment, end other men appointed hav-

Paul was alone benefited by the crooked

LITTLE Rock. Ark. July ia special
from Fort Smith, Ark, says: Colonel T.
c. BoudinOt the noted Cherokee lawyer.
made speech at a picnic yesterday in
the Cherokee Nation, a few miles from
here to large cOncOurse of people. He
expressed his views without reserve rela-
tive TO the Cherokee Commission and the
sale of the Cherokee Outlet. That these
lands were TO be the homes of American
farmers in a very short time the speaker
regarded as certain as fate, and,
in his opinion, common sense
and the welfare of the Cherokees
dictated the policy of meeting the
Commissioners half way and the sale
of the lands on the best terms possible.
He believed the Commissioners were dis
posed to be friendly and generous in their
de alings with the Indians and that by
prudent management SIC, 900, 900 might be
obtained for all the lands occupied and
unoccupied west of the Arkansas river,
and he was in favor of paying out the
amount per capita to all the citizens of
the Nation. the adopted whites, Shawnees,
Delawares, colored and native Torn.
