State Of Victoria's Health.

From The London Truth.
The statement which has appeared that the
queens health was unsatisfactory during her
stay at Balmoral, and that she suffered from
low spirits, is the purest of fictions. The queen
was suffering slightly from rheumatism when
she went 10 Scotland. but became perfectly
well after she had been week at Balmoral.
and SO continues. Except for the affection of
Lady Elys death the queen has been in excel
lent spirits lately and the depression" and
.meiaucholia" attributed to her are entirely
imaginative

Just returned from the house COM

now the center of interest 10 the
Indians Of the Indian Territory.
For several days there has been
under consideration by this COM
nittee, Springer's revised bill to
organize temporary government
for Oklahoma, and for the organi-
ration of the five civilized and 9TH
er minor tribes into a territory to
be called the Indian Territory.
The latter organization is simply
for judicial purposes; the former
for what il speaks. In the organi-
zation Of Oklahoma We can have
no interest further than TO oppose
any invasion Of our rights.
The gentlemen ofthe committee
up 10 date, show no serious dis
position to disregard our wants Of

AFALsE REPORT.

BoLrxs FxHuY, 4. r., Jan. 10. 1890.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-The Arkan-
sas City Traveller is spicy, newsy
little sheet, published near the
border of civilization and is read
by and receives its small support
from the Indians of the territory.
Under the heading Of Cherokee
Schools" it publishes a false
statement from the Kansas City
Globe, and seems TO pride itself
in the circulation of this fslsehood,
much TO the injury Of itself, among
its resders Of this section. We
find ii casts a reflection upon the
management of our national
Cherokee orphan asylum, whose
management, including both agri-
cultural and educational depart
ments, is as good if not superior to
any in the state Of Kansas. The
correspondent is one named Har-
per and he harped a lie-one as
big as the liars law allows-in
attempting to mimic our Indian
boys in their feeble attempt.
They will come nearer harping
the truth than our honorable cor
respondent.
1t is a cowardly, niggardly prin-
ciple that actuates the press report
err who comes among she Indians
and who receives their hospitali-
ty, to go away to their pale face
brethren in the states and then
lie and misrepresent them in any
capacity. The Cherokees don't
care for tho truth TO be told and
we hope this will enable our tour
ist to find out that it's the truth we
want. So trusting when Harpers
come around they will harp the
truth and not falsehoods, to ouT
detriment and injury,
remain, Boss BLuEJAcKET.
