THE CHEROKEES.

Ifthe gentlemen who have been appointed
10 negotiate on the part Of the government
for the purchase of the land known as the
Cherokee strip come west with the idea
that the Indians are fools. they will return
entertaining entirely different opinions.
The Cherokees are not only not ignorant or
stupid, but they seem to have very clear
understanding of their rights. One section
of the treaty between the government ami
the Cherokees, which relates TO the land in
question, reads as follows:
Article lG. The United States may settle
friendly Indians in any part OF the Cherokee
country west of 90 degrees, to be taken in q
compact form in quantity not exceeding lGO
acres for each member of each of said tribes
thus TO be settled; the boundaries of each OF
said districts to be distinctly marked ana the
land conveyed in fee simple to each OF SAID tribes
TO be held in common or by their members IN
seyeralty as the United States may decide.
Said lands thus disposed OF 10 be pald Tor 10

agreed on between the said parties IN interest,"
subject to the approval of the President; ana II
they should not agree, then the price TO De hHeu
by the President
The Cherokee nation to retain the right of
possession Of and jurisdiction over all OF sald
country west OF 96 degrees of longitude until
thus sold and occupied after which their lurls-
diction and right Of possession to terminate for
occupied.
The Cherokees understand the full mean
ing of the above agreement They under
stand that the government agrees to pro-
tect them in their right of possession and
Jurisdiction over the land until the latter
has been disposed of, not in the manner
that some would have it, but by the settle
ment thereon of friendly Indians, and the
payment to the Cherokees of such price as
may be agreed upon. Of the 100000
acres embraced in the tract, 100000 acres
have been sold in accordance with the
terms of the above agreement, and the
money paid, 'leaving," as the Cherokee
editor of their national newspaper says,
'about 100000 acres subject to besold
conformably with the treaty, whenever

ONLY i comparatively few Americans
know that the President of the United
States has distinctive flag of his own
which flies at the masthead Of vessels of
war, when he is on board, or at the top Of
the flagstaff in front of headquarters when
he is in the field. The Portland Advertiser
describes the flag, which is of blue bunt-
ing, with a large spread eagle in white,
with delicate red lines tracing the feathers
Of the wings and tail. On the breast is the
Shield with thirteen red and white bars
and thirteen stars. Above the head of the
eagle in the blue field is semi-circle of
thirteen stars.

THERAILwAYMAIL SERVICE.

Now that positions in the railway mail
service must be obtained, if at all, through
the recommendations of the civil service
commission, it may be worth the while OF
some of our readers to learn something of
the regulations established by the commits
sion. These regulations, like the law
itself, are peculiar. There is any amount
of detail but the requirements are, briefly,
as follows; Applicants for examination
shall be citizens of the United States. not
under eighteen nor over thirty-five years
Of age, except that any person honor
ably discharged from the military or
naval service of the United States
by reason Of disability resulting
from wounds or sickness incurred in
the line of duty may be examined with
out regard to age. There is to be but one
grade of examination, all appointments be
ing made to class l, which includes all places
of $500 or less per annum. Places above
$500 are filed by promotion or transfer.
The examinations viii not include more
than the following subjects: OrthOgraphy,
penmanship, copying, arithmetic, funda-
mental rules, fractions and percentage,
letter writing, the geography Of the United
States, and especially Of the state or
railway mail division in which the appli-
cant resides, and reading addresses. To
be eligible for appointment it is necessary
to obtain a general average of 20 per cent,
but applicants claiming preference because
of honorable discharge from the military or

\ BosToN lawyer lecturing before the
Commercial club of that city recently, on
the Commercial value of ideas and physi
cal facts made some interesting showings.
There are in the world, he said, 1O5, 900 rail
way locomotives, each of which daily per-
forms an amount of work equal to that of
200 horses on good common roads. This
ratio applied to the 105, 600 locomotives gives
1876, 100000 horses. The locomotive con-
sumes one and a half tons of coal day, and
requires the services of two men when in
use, making 100000 men. When the daily
cost OF keeping the 10000, 900 horses, and
shoeing the same, and the expense of the
men required to care for and use the horses,
is taken into account, it will readily be seen
that the locomotives have the advantage by
large majority. The factor of saving of
time is not taken into account in this est
mate

TOWARDS THE close of the last admins
tration, after it had been definitely settled
that the Republicans had elected their man,
Republican female clerk in the interior
department referred to President CLEvE-
LAND as hog. As matter of course she
was soon thereafter discharged. Last
week she was restored to her former place,
and for the next four years she can say as
mean things as she pleases about the late
President. The Democratic female clerks
in the departments at Washington may call
HARRISON anything without endangering
their positions. There are no such clerks,

THE stANGELUS. -

1t seems bit strange that after all the
enthusiasm of the Frenchmen over Mil
let s ''Angelus' they should consent to
let 1t come over to America But the truth
is, their feelings got the better of their
Judgment, and from all accounts it is
was sold for. 1t is a small picture, less
than two feet square, and contains but
two fgures-peasants- bending forward
in an attitude of prayer, the ''angelus
having sounded from the bells of the lit
tie church in the distance. The painting
is more valuable for the sentiment ex-
pressed than for its artistic work. Some
rave over it and others do not consider it
of much consequence. 1t should also
be known that people have to acquire
a taste for Millet, just as they
do for tomatoes, olive oil and cheese.
The history of the "Angelus' shows
that the taste for art is, after all, a
strangely tickle one. Millet originally

latter sold 1t for $1,000. It was next sue
cessively the property of NJ. Gavet, M.
Papeleu and Durand Ruel, the latter
selling it to NJ. Wilson for $1,000. In
1881, when the Wilson collection was
sold by auction, the 'Angelus' brought
S32 900, carried to this enormous price
by two bidders, each determined to have
it. Realizing, however, that it was alb
surd to bid further, the competitors drew
lots for the picture at the price given.
NJ. Secretan won the draw. 1t may be
stated that all bids beyond 500, sos, the
price it was knocked down at first, at the
recent sale, will probably fail to mate

| of national moment, demanding the best
thought of the best minds of the country
The question as stated by Mr. Warner F.,
when Invested of oratorical flourish, is,
How can the South allow the negro the
full enjoyment of the right of suffrage,
and vet keep him from running riot with
the government and with society, and
from pulling down the civilization that it
has taken centuries to build up?"
That is the whole question, as every
thinking man must see it.
MIR. Warner offers a solution which is
as follows:
cannot but regard it as a blunder in states
nanship to give suffrage without an educational
qualification, and to deem it possible to put ig-
nOrance over intelligence. You are not respon-
sble for the situation, but you are none the less
in an illogical position before the law. Now,
would you not gain more in rectifcatlon of your
position than you would lose in other ways, by
making suffrage depend upon an educational
qualification? I do not mean gain partywise,
but in political morals and general prosperity.
Time would certainly be gained by this, and it
is possible in this shifting world, in the growth
of industries and in the flow of populations, that
before the question of supremacy was again upon
you, foreign and industrial immigration would
restore the race balance.
Mr.. Warner has studied the situation
to little purpose if he does not see that
the dIsfranchisement of the negro, and
that is what an educational qualification
means, would raise a storm of vitupera-
ton in the North that would make exist
ence in tins country almost unbearabie.
A wiser man than Mr. Warner is
needed

WARMER on THE RACE QUESTION.
Charles Dudley Warner made speech
on the race question at the university of
the South, Sewanee, Tenn. the other
day in which he used the following Ian
| guage:
On the other hand, there rests upon you the
responsibility of maintaining civil zation, the
| civilization of America, not of Hayti or Guate-
mala. which we have hardly won. It is
neither to be expected nor to be desired that you
should be ruled by an undeveloped race, igno-
rant of law, letters, history, politics and poti-
cal economy. There is no right anywhere of
unintelligence to rule intelligence. It is a
travesty of civilization. No Northern state
that I know of would submit to be ruled
by an undeveloped race, and human ma
ture in the South is exactly what it is in
the North That is one impregnable fact to be
taken as the basis of all our calculations. The
whites of the South will not, cannot, be domi-
mated as matters now stand. by the cOlored race.
But then there is the suffrage, the unrev ersibIe,
unqualified suffrage. Suffrage once given can
not be suppressed or denied, perverted by Chi
canery or bribery without incalculable damage
to the whole political body. Irregular methods
once INDUCED in for purpose and towards
one class so sap the moral sense that they come
to be used for all purposes. The damage is III
timately as great to those who suppress or per-
vert as il is to the suppressed and corrupted. 1t
is the Generalization of all sound political ac-
ton and life. I know whereof I speak. In the
North briberyin elections and intimidations are
fatal to public morality.
Mr.. Warner is right. The Anglo
Saxon race, whether in Maine or South
Carolina, viii not submit to the domira-
ton of an inferior race, and the party
that tries to force it to do so but gnaws a
file. He is also correct in what he
says of suffrage. No matter how grea
the crime of enfranchising the negro was,
since the right of suffrage has been given
HIM he should be protected in its enjoy
ments.
These two things together make the
race question the difficult thing that it Is.
Left to themselves the whites and the
negroes of the South would live peacea-
bly, and happily together The negro
recognizes the superiority Of the white,
and acknowledges it. He is willing to
accept the white man as his friend, and
has learned to look to him for council and
guidance, to take his advice and act upon
his suggestions. But this desirable state
Of things may not be. The professional
Northern man, the man who has
proven his devotion to Office and the
negro by the sweat of his jaw,
must come in and stir up strife and dis
cord and dissatisfaction and question
that would easily solve itself is made one

IT appears that the burglary profession
has transferred its operations to the sea-
side resorts. This is not due so much to
the heated season as to the chances for
successful operations. One of Pinker-
ton detectives says that professional
thieves Will not hesitate to become wait
ers, which gives them an opportunity to
learn all about the guests, their move
ments and the, valuabIes they carry with
them. The second story thief learns of
the wealth Of a resident by spying him
out as he strolls about He learns Of the
ladies who are bedecked with valuables
by watching them at the receptions and
balls. Notwithstanding the advance in
the art of detection and prevention, the
art of robbing keeps fairly abreast of it.
Indeed, burglars seem to get off in nine
cases out of ten.

ten letter to the Atlanta Constitution

ton. And the same may be said OF all

who seek to perpetuate prejudice and en-
gender strife. The Northern people and
the Southern people are very much alike,
and, if it were not for a few fools and

along that way, and the numbers who
discuss or take any interest in these bit
