An Expohonoo at tho Races Yestor-

Capt Julius G. Cammor, Of the Ledger,
gave n S. note the unkindest sort OF shake
at the races yesterday.
Rather should il be said he contributed
that amount TO one Of the lighthngerod
gentry for tho privilege Of having an cx.
perience with him.
The Captain had Just caught a straight
tip on J.. H., at odds OF SIS 10 80, and
planted himself before n bookio 10 get his

TuE 81. Louis Republic published on
Monday an interview with Judge Thomas
NJ. Cooley, Of the Interstate Commission,
in which that eminent jurist takes the
ground that the anli.pooling clause aud
the long and short haul clause might BIO
stricken out Of the law without very much
affecting lis efficiency, as tho real purpose
of the act Is To establish certain great prin-
ciplcs in railroad management, such rs pub.
licity, stability Of rates. no extorlion. no
unjust discrimination, cic. lie speaks
hopefully as TO the future usefulness Of
the law in solving vexed problems, aud
intimaics that the progress made thus far
in regulatory legislation affecting railroads
is In the nature Of nm educational measure
which Is 10 prepare the public for more
perfect laws on the subject 10 be enacted
rs fast rs experience Is gained which will
warrant their adoption.

The Legislature Of Michigan has passed
a high license law by which retailers are
to pay 5000 year, wholesale liquor deal
ers $500, wholesale beer and wine dealers,
$500, distillers 81 900 and brewers $3.50.
This will greatly benefit the State Treas
ury, and will, no doubt, have the effect Of
preventing the spread Of intemperance.
Liquors are taxed from the moment OF
production to that of consumption.

THE INDIANS AND THE BOoMER,

AS has been feared all along, the Okla
homa boomers are spilling over into the
Cherokee strip, for which the Gov
eminent is about TO negotiate through
commissioners. and are squatting with
n view to anticipate the purchase SO
that when il Is effected they may be able
TO assert squatters' rights. The Cherokees
police their lands and are very rigorous in
enforcing their laws, which are opposed 10
any settlement within their territorial
limits, under any pretence, by white men
unless they are adopted into the tribe and
thus acquire tribal rights. They will there
fore, no doubt, expel, or try TO expel the
squatting boomers. and II resistance
is offered bloodshed may ensue.
Such collision might prccipitate general
movement by the other Indians OF tho
Territory, who are likely also to find their
reservations invaded through ignorance per.
haps Of the boundary that separates Okla
homa from the rest OF the Territory. Gen.
McCook, Of the army, now in command at
Fort Leavenworih, who has had
great experience with the Indians,
has some fears Of trouble from
this cause. For instance, he says
tho western boundary Of Oklahoma Is not
defined by corner-stoncs, "but the Arapa.
hoes and the Cheyennes know the boun-
DIARIES Of their reservations. and have their
own private headstones at me river cross
ings. They police their own frontier, and
keep intruders of OF their reservation. 1t
may probably happen that some settlers
will try to enter Oklahoma from that
border that they may suppose they
are In tho Oklahoma country when
they may DO in the reservations of the
Indians. The latter will warn them of, and
the settlers, claiming that they arc In Ok.
lahoma, will resist. The Indians will
maintain their rights and will put the set.
tiers of, and trouble may follow. This,
Gen. McCook thinks, is the most serious
part Of the Oklahoma question" But this
will be solved under the Presidents proc.
lamation and instructions by which the
United States Marshal Is to call
on the troops in tho Territory,
under command Of Gen. Merritt,
as posse comiiatus. But there
may be some fearful scenes enacted be.
fore the troops reach the stage of tragedy,
and il may be that even the five regi-
ments In Merritts command may not be
equal TO the emergencies even after they
have been concentrated, which would
take some time. But on the other hand,
let US hope that the good sense, tho love Of
law and order that has 30 far charac-
tcrizcd the great majority Of the
boomers may control them even in
such emergencies rs mistakes OF boundary
and that those who have wiiuly squattcd
may DO prevailed upon TO iorcgo what. in
the long run, would prove worse than
useless contest with the Federal Govern.
mont Yet, sal as Il is TO say II, II is oasy
to see, looking away beyond all this, that
the tolls are being wound about the In.
dams, and twill not be long ere the whole
Territory will have to be thrown open for
settlement TO the white man.

Mr.. Grady, in speaking of the ne
cessity for change in industrial
methods of the South, said: "The
other day there was q man buried in
Pickens county. He was dead and
they were putting him away. In dig
ging grave for him they dug through
three feet of marble as pure as any
Parian sculptor ever modelled, and yet
the marble slab that went at the head
of his grave was imported from Yer
mont Although pine forests were
all around him the pine coffin in
which he lay was imported from
Philadelphia. Although iron was in
the hills within 100 feet of his grave
TIE nails in his coffin came from
Pittsburg. Although there was hard
wood in the same forests the handles
of the shovels and picks that dug his
grave were imported from Cincinnati.
The truth is that his own county, as
rich or richer in natural resources
than any in the State furnished moth
ing for that funeral but the hole in
the ground and the corpse. He was
clothed with suit from Chicago, a
shirt from Cincinnati, hat from
Lynn and shoes from Massachusetts,
and his own county furnished moth
ing but the marrow in his bones and
tue blood in his VEINS"
