From the Indisn Territory
MUsCOGEE, May 1lth, 1889.

You will meyer know the world
until you have seen the Indian
Territory. Here to-day are met
together in a strange medley such
a combination of people Of high
and low degree, both in social po-
sition and wealth, as is scarcely to
be met with elsewhere. Rich men
in rags and poor men in broad
cloth stand side by side. On one
side you can see hundreds of thou
sands of acres of treeless and un-
titled prairie, possessed only by
the rabit, quail and chicken; turn
around and at your elbow see a
city of thousand inhabitants
whose church spires, smoke stacks
and schools tell OF the thriving
life and civilization here. In still
another view you can see settle
ments of neat farm houses sur
rounded by well cultivated farms
owned, or rather possessed, by the
citizens of nation within a ma
ton. These Indian nations haye
their own government, laws, and
courts, and publish their laws,
treaties and constitution in neat
book form. They own their lands
in common and when citizen
wants a farm he just simply fences
up as much land as he needs and
goes to work. A citizen of the
United States cannot own land
here but may rent for one year at
time if le has a permit from the
nation to remain. This rule is the
same in al of the five tribes whose
laws are all much the same.
1t has been truly said ''It is a
great thing Tor a man to own Il lit
tie bit of the Lold's earth straight
up to heaven--a man feels better
for it, and we may add A man is
better for it; itmakes him a better
citizen of the government which
protects his home, better friend
to his neighbor, whose good will is
necessary to his prosperity.
Bob Ingersol says "No man ever
shouldered a musket in defence of
his boarding house"
Ii the United States is going to
do the best thing for every one she
must take some steps to break up

of course, this land-in-common
system. If the revolutionists who
want to hold land in common could
come aud study this country and
its history, they would want none
of this system for their own. In a
great suspension bridge the weight
Is not trusted to single stra nd,
but to a cable of many small ones
twisted and bound together. So
in our land system, to properly
support our government, we must
not let the title rest in one or few
but make the individual title to
each mans home a supporter of
the nation. These fertile prairies.

T.E. suBLETTE, Proprietor
KtRKsvlLE. MISSOURI
FRIDAY. MAY II, 1889.
THENEw POLICY.

The present administration
marks an epoch in the history of
American politics, and the shrewd-
ness of its management and its
far seeing policy becomes more
apparent every day. 1t is such
that the result will be a complete
turning over of old methods that
have developed party treachery to
such fearful extent, and an en-
tire wiping out of the disgraceful
results that have been the out
growth and product of former
methods and policies.
When this policy of the ad-
ministration was outlined, it was
received with Joy and thanks
giving by those who so long have
been compelled to see their efforts
for party success come to naught,
because of the secret combinations
that were formed OF men, who
claimed to be representatives OF
both parties, when they were
really representatives of that sell
fish class that cares little for party
so lono as fhe loayes and fishes
are given them for their own use
and distribution.
The change in the policy of the
administration has upset many
well laid plans, and it is this that
accounts for the extreme show of
disgust and broken heartedress
that crops out occasionally be-
cause thu old methods did not
count this time. Formerly Re-
publicans were supporting a
democratic congressman. because
they expected to ask for some ap-
pointment in the future; and as
the Democratic Congressman con-
trolled the patronage in his dis.
trict, whether the administration
was republican or democratic, il
followed, as a matter of course
that he would have those of the
Republican party appointed, who
were friendly to him, and if they
did not actually vote for him
would throw cold water on every
effort of the campaign by saying
eve can't do anything here; VT
are too strongly democratic; bet.
ter give all our attention to the
county ticket
Under such conditions there
was little encnnra nnmant+n 10 ontnr
campaign and less hope of making
it a success. But this has all beer
changed. The complete under
standing of the methods of loca
politics has enabled the admins
tration to strike q death blow a
the secret combinations that hay
so long clogged the wheels of thu
Republican party wherever ther
was a Democratic congressman
And the recognition of the defeated
candidate for congress On the Re
publican ticket has been the cluI
with which the effective blow wa
struck. Hereafter a man VIII
expects to ask for an appointment
for an afiice, or any political favo
whatever, viii be found loyal
supporting his candidate for con
gress; for to him must he look 70
favors instead of to the candidat
of the opposite party. This mean
that the party will not only b
strengthened but purified also; an
that political jugglers, who wor
for one end of the ticket for on
party, and the other end for tn
opposing party, will vanisf
because the incentive to furthe
practice of their nefarious plan
has been removed. All honor
the administration for its jus
recognition of the "bob-tailed con
gresham" "

Tile remarkably QUICK TIME
made by the steamer City of Paris
on its trip from Queenstown to

great deal of comment and specu-
lation. The time made by this
steamer was . days, 90 hours and

The advancement that has been
made in ocean navigation is seen
by comparing this time with that

The.Chs mber Of Torture

Is the apartment to which the unhappy suf.
ferer from inHammatory rheumatism is con
fined. II. ere the crisis Of pain is reached,
that 6nc preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons Of rheumatic
tendency, much unnecessary suffering is
avoided. Nervines. anedynes and sedatives.
while having none but a specific effect, are
yet very desirable at times. Yet can they
produce no lasting effect upon rheumatism.
because they have 10 power to eliminate from
the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at the
outset . disease which, il allowed to gain
headway, it is next to impossible to dislodge
or TO do more thsn relieve. Rheumatism, it
should be remembered. is a disease with a
fatal tendency from its prsneness to attack
the heart. A resort to the Bitters should,
therefore. be prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney
complaint, malaria and nervousness are re.
lieved byit.

Fight At the Occidental.

Last Saturday two men by the name OF
Gillrooney and Parker had quarrel at the
Occidental mine that came near proving a
serious affair. Both men are employed at
the mine, Parker in the assay Office. What
the quarrel was about was not learned, but
after angry talk Parker knocked Gillrooney
down with pair Of tongs. He thought he
had Quilted him for a time but Gillrooney
came to, and gaining his feet sailed into
Parker and put head on him as big as a
swill.tub. The boys about the place had
gathered around by this time, and they sep
arated the scrappers, fear ing that things
were going too far. The next morning Gill
rooney laid for Parker behind a pile Of lum.
Der near an old tunnel. Parker saw him,
however, and took shot at him, but did not
hit him. At noon.time Gillrooney again re-
newed the quarrel and told Parker to draw
his gun. He did not do so, however, but
there is no telling what would have hap.
pened had not the foreman appeared and or
dered Parker to 60 to work and sent Gill
rooney to the Office to get his time. There
is bad feeling between the men yet, and a
renewal Of the quarrel is looked for when
ever the two men meet.
