The Cincinnati tourist longs for
his native hill.tops. The New
Yorker IL lost in astonishment. f.
Washington Is voted a dull town
on the Sabbath.
TO him who is not lost 10 the
beauties OF May morning gra-
ciously given to windy March, the
suburbs and the road houses bO-
yond offer some compensation.
The wheelmen know this and
while the majority Of mankind
stop at home and grumble, they
are away over the hills, over roads
full Of historic "reminiscences, TO
Tenalytown, Bladensburg, or an
cient Alexandria, fast asleep be-
tween the sluggish Potomac and
the Virginia hills. II is nightfall
before these silent wheels again
strike the magnificent city streets,
bringing a thousand glimmering
rows of lanterns, like meteors,
flashing through the shadows.
The citizen who goes abroad on
horseback, and he is generally ac-
companied by the citizeness, en-
joys the day and has the addition
al advantage Of knowing that this
fad is in full fashion. There are
few cities in this country that con-
tain more good riders, perhaps
no city of the same population.
The members of the foreign lega-
tions set the style, and the riding
academies have done yeoman SER
vice in developing the riding tall
ent that slumbered undeveloped
in society.
What of the rest of mankind
and womankind who are not de-
voted to an orthordox observance
Of the day and who remain in
town?
They walk hard and long. Up
Connecticut avenue, out in George
town, about the hotels, down Penn
sylyania avenue, over on Capt.
tol hill, they wander like uneasy
spirits. Their chief summer
joys, going down the river on ex-
cursions and going up the river
rowing, are not yet open to them.
So they must needs walk.
And the character of the crowds
vary. Between lower Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Connecticut
avenue on sunshiny winter af-
ternoon there is the difference be-
tween wealth .a.d. povert-,- tire
difference between content and
misery; the difference between the
ins and outs. About the down
town hotels is a large sprinkling
of shutting shabby gentility, con-
fdent or abashed as the case may
be but obviously shabby

THE Delawares sent a delega-
ton to Washington recently for a
two-fold purpose. First, TO get
congress to pay the Delaware
funds invested in their name per
capita all at once to the people
and stop the annual payments.
Second to have their status in the
Cherokee nation defined. Atpres-
ent it seems as if the money will
be paid perhaps this year. The
Delawares have made efforts for
the past few years to get the mon
ey, saying it would benefit them
much more 10 get the full amount
so that it could be invested in
property and thus yield them bet
ter interest than the FIVE per cent.
paid by the government. The de-
partmcnt has refused 10 comply
with their requests so far, fearing
lest the majority did not know
enough about business to invest
the money advantageously. This
year Agent Bennett was instructed
to take a census and report the
number of people and the amount
of property held. The agent
thinks the returns will give such
satisfaction that the department
will consent to pay out the princi-
pal in the near future. As to fix
ing their status as Cherokee citi-
zens. they wish to be regarded as
full citizens, having a right west
of ninety-six the same as a Chero-
kee by blood, and they also wish
to be paid the per capita they fail
ed to share in when the payment
was made Eour years ago. What
course congress will take in this
matter is uncertain.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

.
The death of William Preston
Taulbee, ex-representative, shot
by Charles e. Kincaid, correspond.
ent of the Louisville Times, makes
one OF the most distressing mur.
ders that Washington has known
in many years. The murderer is
prostrated by the result of his act
and in his frail health and excita-
bic temperament his physicians
fear that he will die before the
case can be tried. The feeling OF
Kentuckians here is much divided
One would suppose at first from
the newspaper accounts that sym
pathy was all with Kincaid, but
now that it is established that he
pursued his man aud shot him be-
fure he could turn, sympathy is
going the other way.
Representative Henry Cabot
Lodge introduced his long talked
of federal election bill in the house
Saturday. The bill has the essen
tial features of the Australian bal
lot system and provides for the
federal supervision of elections.
The system now in force in Mas
sachusetts is made applicable to
the entire country in congression-
al and presidential elections.
Each polling place is put in charge
of six judges or supervisors, thre e
representing each Political party.
Voters who cannot read or write
may have tickets marked by one
supervisor in the presence of an
other of the opposite party. Pri-
marily the elections are in control
Of the states, but upon the petit
ton of five hundred voters in any
district the federal government
will take absolute control. On
this clause the Ggghtt Ggghtt will will be long
and hot.
From the day the last excursion
boat on the Potomac ties up late
in the fall until the spring morn
ing when the whistles sound again,
the average Washingtonian, he of
limited resources and boundless
desires, on Sundays stays late in
bed. The Sabbath sun has look.
ed scornfully down the deserted
streets for good three hours, catch
ing only glimpses Of an occasional
policeman or a belated rounder, an
early milkman OF an enterprising
news boy, before the town gets up.
And whether he look out through
cracked window panes or through
lace curtained French plate, the
citizen votes that it will be, like
all Sundays at the capital, a dull
day; that is he so votes ifhe be a
worldly citizen.
Il has come to be locally
proverb that Washington is a dull
town on Sunday. The stray Wis
itor from New Orleans tells you
so with many .sighs for the maiiree
and the lake and the she'll road.
The st. Louis man. bitter from
loss Of the fair, endorses him.

THE Cherokee delegation and
chief were highly complimented
by the Delaware delegation on its
return from Washington last week
Bushy head has long been known
and esteemed in Washington and
now Mayes is making himself
known. As for the chief he does
not stand on ceremony, but goes
straight to the head of the depart
ment and talks plainly of the rights
of the Cherokees as set forth in the
treaties. His influence is said to
be such that the Oklahoma bill will
not be taken up until some con-
clusion is made regarding the
pending negotiations, and in the
negotiations at least two dollars
and fifty cents per acre will be Of
fered for the strip. AS long as the
chief keeps up such good work he
will get the enthusiastic support
of THE CnIEFTAIN.

CAPT. p. HENRY, Of Chelsea,
says he is sure farmers would find
1t would pay them to raise cotton.
Last year he planted an acre as an
experiment, and gathered half a
bale from it. He says cotton will
pay a man twenty dollars an acre
on an average, and it is always
ready money.

Mr.. CoOHRANs VIEWS.
No Great Regard Entertained for
the Negro.

Mr.. EDIroR:-The rsttar pub
lished in a recent number of The
Advocate over the signature o
Judge j. A. Scales, of Canadian
district, is significant of srnoth,
cred sentiment, which has ever
characterized the views of the
Cherokee people. What he says
in regard to the negro question is
in my opinion correct, and my
concurrence with his views, is not
Of recent date, but an opinion
which | have entertained for many
years.
Ny experience in Cooweescoo-
wee politics compels me to say
that he has the Gooseneck idea
"down fine" and the sooner the
stigma of this kind of bossism is
obliterated, the better it will be for
all.
What do the people think Of the
convention held at Fort Gibson on
tbs Goth Of February last l.? When
| say people, | do not mean politi-
clans, | mean the people who hold
our nation intact; the people who
by their national and tribal uni
ty hold us government, the like
of which is not to be found upon
earth. The people are the lone
power" which give us significance
and at the same time knock the
"extinct aud abandon the same"
into a cooked hat. Then if we
should, Cleopatra like, nurse the
asp, what will be the consequence?
II has been the pride of the Chero-
kee nation to keep itself blood.
pure: can they not also boast of
being pure in heart as well +?
There has always been a lean
ing OF both parties toward the ne
gro, not on account of his good
looks or his honesty but because
his vote counts one. Now we
know the negro is a man and that
he has rights which should be
but to take an undue ad-
vantage of him and nurse him
in the lap Of our posterity only to
be smote 'hip and thigh" by him,
when he has, through our political
policy joined the ascendeEcy seems
to be even beyond our political
He has power-pas-
sive power-and tits increased by
our eagerness to gain his vote.
| say let the negro show himself
to be man, and not a thing calm
ly reposing on the sunny side of

ed political boss to give him "de
-four and bacon you done promised
de ole woman" We have given
them homes and educational fa-
rilities and to-day they are the
people on Gods green
earth.
The problem of our eolored
brethren is one which few have
in the right way, and l
believe when the people are awak-
sned to do the right thing by them
selves as well as the negro, they
will have learned a branch Of pO-
litical economy not taught in the
