CLEARW AFTER.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Never before in the settled history of
the Ninnescah yalley-says an old
settler-has there been such a splendid
showing, at this season of the year, for a
most bountiful yield of llkinds of vege-
tation as this season Of '69. Pasture is
in fine condition. Wheat is early and
promises a big yield. Corn is earlier
than usual and most of it looking well.
Land has been in great demand this
year, and every acre of pillow land IS I'M
der cultivation in some kind Of crop.
The creamery has been receiving some
5000 pounds of milk daily, making a
superior article of butter which Is being
shipped all over the west and finds ready
sale. The institution seems to be giving
good satisfaction to both patrons and
stockholders.
The merchants here have been laying
in big stocks of goods this spring and
seem to be doing prosperous business.
Times are lively and everybody except
the professional loafer are being engaged
in some kind of industry.
The joints and gambling dens are run
ming wide open, unmolested, paying
neither fines or license, and doing land
office business. with the prospect of one
or two more in operation in the near
future.
There will shortly be an election
called in this township to vote $1,000
bonds to aid in the construction of a
bridge over the Minnesota river at the
Ross ford, one and half miles west of
this city. When it is completed it will
greatly facilitate travel to and from this
city on the west. "The past is opulent,
the future is hopeful" NE-NE-SKA.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

Col. B. Fl. Campbell, in communica-
ton yesterday morning, criticised the
EAGLES ideas or its way of putting
them, touching the attitude OF Chief
Mayes. The EAGLE is not alone in its
conclusions, either as to the scope OF the
treaty, as to the conclusions of the con-
gressional committees, or as to Mayes.
The Globe Democrat holds almost ex-
actly to the EAGLES view, while the
Kansas City Times does not concede the
Cherokees any right in the strip save
that of an easement. In its issue OF
Friday the Times says:
eff the Cherokees cling to the outra-
geous demand of 81 or S. an acre for the
Cherokee strip and refuse to treat with
the commissioners on the terms offered
by the government, there is but one
course possible. The cattlemen must be
ordered off Immediately. Great as the
surplus is, Americans have NO $24, 000,-
600 to squander for the shadow of title
like that of the Cherokees to the strip.
There is nothing to prevent the govern
ment from moving the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes and all the other tribes on
tilC OtCCh Cliu CcllilOAO PoAShS,oO w WIZ
Cherokee strip under the treaty OF
1886 and getting the lands at the
small price then fixed. In that way
the Creek and Seminole cession could all
be opened to settlement and the Chero-
KEGS taught that they do not own the
outlet. What is there in the treaty OF
1886 which would interfere with the
selection CT the whole outlet for the
friendly Indians whom the government
may desire to remove from the Creek
and Seminole cession? The government
has perfect right to do this, and did at
first put the Cheyennes and Arapahoes
there These tribes have now an equity
in the western part of the strip, and if
they insisted on being removed there,
the demand would be more reasonable
then the Cherokee demand. The Doodle
attorneys and the ring of head men will
lead the Cherokees into trouble about the
outlet and perhaps compel them to take
less than the S1.25 an acre now offered.
Sooner than pay S18,0O0,OOO or 24,OJQ@,-
900 for the land, the government ought
to put the other tribes there just as the
Poncas and Kaws were put there under
the treaty of 1886. Then the dupes of
CHER Mayes would see where the Doodle
game had led them"
Wichita eagle., 1889-05-19

If Chief Mayes was the paragon of ex-
ecutive ability and integrity that his
champions would have the world believe
him to be. it is remarkable, to say the
least, that he should resort to SO many
arbitrary expedients to thwart, not only
the government in its efforts to do his
people substantial benefit, but also the
expressed wishes of the representatives
of the tribe (Cherokees) in the matter of
settling their alleged claims to disputed
lands. Mayes and those whose private
interest he would serve will learn yet
that the equity, to say nothing of the
law, of the matter at issue Is not all on
the Indian side, and that the doughty
chiefs temporizing policy may carry 1t
beyond the point of forbearance.

Prohibition has taken q new and
somewhat novel turn up in Minnesota.
Heretofore the law has been aimed at
the seller, the excessive drinker being
left the tender care-more frequently
tenderness Of local laws and city ordin-
ances. The new law is directed az the
drinker, and the fellow who overloads
himself becomes the target instead of
the one who furnishes the load. Well,
II the traffic In intoxicating liquors be a
crime, logic IS well as fact makes the
drinker particeps criminiS as well as the
dealer; but we apprehend that that con-
struction viii not increase the popularity
of the principle of restriction in general.
The effects of the advance step taken by
Minnesota will be watched with interest
all over.

In Idaho, where it is 1853 per cent, and
che lowest New Mexico, where it is 0.42
per cent. Excluding the territories, the
the highest ratio of taxation to assessed
valuation (the assessed value being near

of Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, where
it exceeds per cent. Among the south

SCHEMERS.
To the Editor OF the EAGLE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
Whether in consequent of natural in
dividual depravity or as result Of the
prevalent pernicious teachings to accu-
mulate without learning, no person
who studies the public prints can fail to
notice the frequent attempts of unprin-
cipled schemers to fitch from their
neighbors the savings accumulated in
long years OF honest toll
The most contemplate, infamous and
dangerous of such schemes Is known as
blackmail.
1t is well known that among those
who are authorized TO act in our law
courts there is always TO be found some
unprincipled scavenger who for price,
is willing to assist IN any vile scheme
and such an ally is generally cunning
enough to evade punishment.
The frequency of such cases in our
city calls imperatively for such action as
will best protect our dearest interests.
The prostitution of our laws have be-
come a continual menace to our moral,
social and financial security, and the
waning confidence of our people in the
integrity Of the administrators of our
laws can only be ascribed TO the acts of a
few mercenarles. That great body OF
men who for more than century have
furnished to our best institutions much
Of their nob,est intellect, and who Law
iShly contributed TO our military
grandeur and who control our courts OF
justice, owe to themselves and an ex-
pectant public a publication Of the legal
atmosphere. Tothem and the press only
can we look for means TO control the
evil and restore the confidence which
should exist in our law practice and thus
teach our citizens that we may still hope
that justice will prevail. JUSTICE.

The manufacturers Of the south have
organized for mutual benefit. The
southern cotton manufacturers have de-
cided to pay 10 cents per hundred pounds
more for cotton wrapped in cotton
cloth than for the staple otherwise
picked. The bagging trust may yet
prove blessing in disguise. If some
inventive genus can produce mechan-
ical device for binding wheat with straw,
the same can be said of the Irvine trust.

The center Of population will be shown
TO be, by the 1890 census, much nearer
the Mississippi, the Bankers Magazine
thinks. than it was in 1880. The Indian
apolis Sentinel thinks this Is doubtful.
1t SAYS: "Ohio and Indiana have been
growing in the last ten years as we'll as
the far west, The center Of population
IN the state OF Kansas has moved east
ward once or twice, and il is further
east now than it was at one time. The
last center of population was in Ken
lucky, few miles southwest of Cincin-
natl. The next, it is altogether prob
able, will be southern Indiana. The
Sentinel's last admission proves the cor
Tectness of the Magazines declaration,
even if the center Of population is shown
TO be no further west than southern In
diana. Our guess IS that the point will
be located nearer the center of southern
Illinois. The growth of Ohio and Indiana
that the Sentinel speaks Of, which may
be true, has not been from the west, but
from the east, and has been in no mea-
sure commensurate with the growth of
the west.

The Troy Chief calls attention to the
fact that the last legislature passed a
law prohibiting the mortgaging OF any
personal property of family that IS ex-
empt from seizure by law, unless both
husband and wife consent to and sign
the mortgage. The law exempts certain
family property from attachment or ex-
ecution, and this new law prohibits the
husband from mortgaging it without his
vife's knowledge.

Our Country.

Have we not learned that not stocks,
nor bonds, nor stately houses, nor land,
nor products of mill or field make our
country? 1t is spiritual thought that
is our minds. 1t is the flag and what it
stands for. 1t is the glorious history. 1t
is the fireside and the home. 1t is the
larger thoughts that are in the heart,
born of the inspiration which comes
from the story of the fathers of our
country. the martyrs to liberty. 1t is
the graveyard into which our fearful
country has gathered the unconscious
dust of the those who died here in the
United States-it is these things that we
love and call our country.

The interstate commerce commission

The interstate commerce commission
having considered about every feature
of the freight traffic on railroads, has
now concluded to give the passenger
traffic some attention and start cut by
inquiring into the question of safety to
passengers and operating employees. If
the commission can induce or compel
the companies to adopt system of heat
ing and lighting passenger cars that
would do away with the stove and lamp,
and some uniform plan or device for
coupling that could be manipulated
without bringing the trainmen into bodily
peril, as at present. it will have come
as near solving the pressing questions as
it is perhaps possible to do just now. 1t
is hoped they may be able to do this
much.

The Texas trust law has proved ITS
efficiency already. At meeting held
by the international association, at Ne"
Orleans, the representative of the Texas
roads decided that the pool was con-
trary to the provisions of the law, and
that their connection with it laid them
liable to the severe penalties prescribed.
They, therefore, withdrew, and the rail-
road pool in Texas is non est.
