/ Spring River. in western Missouri, at a
point about ten miles north from Sar-
4 coke. which point Is reached by a finely
macadamized road running through de-
ightful meadows and picturesque
( stretches OF woods literally alive with
bass and perch, the former weighing from
two to four pounds each and the latter,
being the genuine toothsoma cropie, about
one pound each. They are in such num-
hers that all common fish have been
driven from the 2reat mill dams that line
that river tor several miles at this point
and so ravenoUs that it is hardly worth
while to stop TO bait the hook. They are

In few hours one simply tires of the

When Gen. Ben Harrison was a
member Of the u s. senate he was
the most popular senator OH the
floor with the senate pages. His
polite and gentle manner towards
the young boys caused them to
love him. When he wanted a page
to 60 on an errand as soon as be
would raise his hand, which is the
sign tor a call, there was a rush
among the boys to see which
should serve him FIRST. lie was
known among the boys around
the senate as the small boys
friend. He always had a
kind word of encouragement
for them and treated them not
as servants but as companions.
One day as the senator was pass
Jog along the hall in company
with a senator to the senate res
taurant for lunch, he was met by
one of the boys who asked if he
could speak to him. Certainly,
my Young friend, "Said the general.
"Oh, come along, Harrison" ex-
claimed the other in q very i'm.
patient mood, "let the boy CO."
Senator Harrison looked his CON-
panion in the face and said: "Sen-
ator, it is more pleasure for me to
hear the troubles or the joys
of this young boys heart than
to dine with you, so If you
are impatient, will join you
in the dining room" 1t seems
that the little fellow was in trouble
and being among strangers did not
know what TO do, Sc he went TO
the small boys friend, Senator
Harrison for comfort, who listened
with kindness to his story, and at
once made everything pleasant
for the little fellow, who in a few
moments had as light a heart as
any boy on the floor of the senate.
He would often take the boys to
lunch with him, and when the hol-
idays rolled around he always had
presents for them. When the
general was nominated for pres
ident, one Of the little fellows
wrote congratulatory letter
which the next president answer
over his own signature. The boy
prizes it more highly than gold.
Most of the senators never speak
to page only to command them
to do some mission. When Senator
Harrison left the senate and took
leave Of the eighteen pages there
was not dry eye in that crowd Of
boys. They loved him as a father
and guardian; for six years he
had been their best friend of all
the seyenty.six senator's.

has saved money enough to buy a
him a palatial home in Washington
City on one Of the fashionable
avenues. A Texas cowboy from
Lanham's district said the other
day that "he had good min 10
run for congress next time agin'
Sam, so that he could make some
money. He was tired of roundin'
up herds and living on such hard
grub. He thought he could do
about as we'll as Sam did in con-
gress, for he never seen or heered
that Sam had done anything for
the people in his parts, only to
vote for free wool and he lp to kill
off sheep raisin' in Texas. Every
time he starts to say anything in
congress some Of them smart, glib
mouthed, fellows just smashes
him clean outer sight, SO bout all
Sam can do is to pocket that big
salary and sink her into fine hous-
es in Washington. He's rich, but
what of that2 But I'll tell you
my dear fellow, Sam Lanham is a
sure-enough rounder when he gifts
among us boys out homo in the
country. Oh, how he loves us,
and the way we mash his plug to-
bacco, which he always carries,
is a sin to Long Dina. Sam leaves
his congress style behind, when he
comes to Texas among his people.
He is one of our kind. He's a
clever fellow, but he told a man
from the Panhandle he would be
id if he would wear out his shoe
leather, and chew his own tobacco,
runnin' round Washington lookin'
up little offices for people. He
was sent TO congress to make laws
and Offices and not to find people
take 'em."

lPHE INDIAN TERRITORIAL
~ CONVENTION.

AL Fort Smith, Arkansas, this
convention is to be held on the
oath inst. We have been compli-
mented with an invitation to be
present, even if we did not take a
prominent part in the proceedings.
II is a good deal like inviting fell
lowsto be present to witness prepa
rations for his own funeral, though
friendly to the extent OF legiti-
mate purpose, at least.
"The object of this convention
iS TO discover and discuss the most
effective and speedy method Of
opening the Indian Territory to
the settler" as intimated by the
invitation. TaSing this as it reads,
one would suppose that the "ef-
sfective and speedy method" is to
be in imitation of the advice some
time given, "get rich, honestly il
you can, but get rich" Legiti-
Hnately, if it can be done, but any
how the territory must be opened
to ths white settler. "Some legiti-
mate method" for the opening
business seems to be contemplated,
If "a legitimate msthod can be
found, but there must be some
old "cudgeling of brains" to find
any method outside of oppession
androbbery. There can be no ex-
cuse legitimate or even necessary
toswarrant such a measure, as far
as right and lawful possession
ought TO be considered, if there is
any virtue in the ownership Of
properly in manner obtained
that governs the right in all civil
lied nations. Social distinction
and superiority Of race even if
claimed that such exists between
the Indian and the white man,
cannot, at this day, as they were
once, be deemed a sufficient reA-
son for the exercise OF superior
power to force conditions upon an
unwilling and de 'enseless people. |
The question may be asked, /
what advantage will it be to the
white settler to destroy the Indian
governmentsand break down. the
barriers thai protect their ihhabi-
tants in the exclusive occupancy Of
their country, If the numerous de-
cisions of the supreme court Of the
United Slstes. that we have a per-
feet title 10 our lands, should we
refuse TO part with any portion of
them, protected as we are in them
ly such a title ?
II the rights Of property AMI the
right 10 seleel the kind Of govern
incnt we prefer to live under are
respected as should be under all
free Institutions, we will care but
lilllo how often such conventions
may meet - boom a question that
m the principles Of right, jnsiico
and humanity condemn,

The interior department has re-
fused to interfer with the Chicka-
saw governor election controversy.
The reason assigned is that as the
council and courts have decided in
favor of Mr.. Byrd and the govern
ment has been fully organized by
him, it would be inexpedient to
disturb his administration. While
Guy received the larger number Of
votes, the belief is that many Of
them were illegal.

THE s75. 600 APPROXIMATION

THE $4,000 APPROPRIATION.
The commissioned Indian af-
fairs has referred the matter Of She
disbursement Of the $50, 900 appro-
priation for the Shawnees, Della
wares and freedmen, to congress,
with a recommendation. so far
a. the two first named classes are
concerned, there is little question
as to who are the rightful benefici-
aries, but as to the colored people
Il is far different. The commits
sioner proposes that congress shall
authorize the appointment Of a
Commission to fully investigate
and finally determine who are tho
proper benefciaries Of the appro-
priation act. Two members Of the
commission are to be appointed by
the secretary of the interior and
the third one TO be named by the
chief of the Cherokee nation. If
the Cherokee chief neglects to ap-
point a member within thirty days
from the date upon which he is
given the authority to do so, and
if the member SO appointed shall
refuse to signify his acceptance
within thirty days, the secretary Of
the interior may make the selec-
ton. 1t is proposed to have con-
gress grant the required authority
in the shspe of a joint resolution
and to appropriate $4,000 for the
necessary expenses Of the commits
sion.

Mexico is considered a great
stock country and that cattle are
cheaper there than in Texas is
shown by the fact that an import
duty Of fifty per cent. is exacted
on the American side of the Rio
Grande and still they are brorght
over. But the price Of cattle seems
to bear no relation to the price of
meat-of certain kinds at least.

twenty cents, sells in the City of
