WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Among the
petitions presented and referred was one
from the Indianapolis Board OF Trade
asking for the total repeal of the inter
state commerce act; also petitions from
Mississippi and Georgia praying for the
passage of national law to secure the
right of suffrage and for the enforcement
of the fifteenth amendment of the consti.
tuition.
The senate committee on territories di'
rected Chairman Platt to favordbly re-
port a bill for the admission OF Idaho as

On motion OF Gibson the senate bill
appropriating $500, COZ for a site for Il
public building at New Orleans was
passed.
Senate ,esume4consideration OF the bill
to provide temporary government tor
the territory OF Oklahoma.
Plumb offered an amendment to include
! within the boundaries of the territory all
that tract of land bounded on the east by
Ihe Tooth meridian, OH the south by the
-tate of Texas, ON the west by the terri
tory of New Mexico and on the north by
the states of Colorado and Kansas as pub
lie land strip.
MIR. Ingalls, inquired of his colleague
whether that was the region known as
mo Mans Land"
Mr.. Plumb-1t is.
MIR. Ingalls, believe it is not contign-
ous to the territory provided for in the
bill.
Mr.. Platt-It is tract OF land l25 miles
from Oklahoma territory.
Mr.. Plumb-It will lie admitted that
that was one Of the difficulties of situation
but he argued that nevertheless that the
jurisdiction OF the territory of Oklahoma
should be extended over No Mans Land.
Platt argued against the amendment,
stating that it would be just as incongru
GUS as it would be to unite county III
eastern Kansas to a county i'll west
ern KanasS. The organization of No
Mans Land should he left until the Cher
okee outlet, which intervened shall be
open to settlement and shall be attacht
to Oklahoma. Then he might he disposed
to have the public land strip attached tC
the territory OF Oklahoma, although some
people favor its annexation to the state Of
Texas.
Mr.. Coke said it was already ATTACHED
to Texas for judicial purposes.

corporation has developed and made

anxious, therefore, TO construct pipes,

1t is desired, III consequence, that they
may be given permission by congress to

The total amount ui the grant, though, is
not to exceed 1000 acres.
THE TAOS VALLEY COMPANY.
These irrigation 81 hemes, it may be add
ed, are multiplying on the docket Of the
committee on irrigation. Another COrpOr-

Taos Valley company. THIS company Is

THE OUTLOK.

Many things are daily transpir-
ing at the South where the great
mass of the colored people reside
to suggest the inquiry. "What is
the outlook fer the coIored Amer
icau?" Its conceded that his
material progress has been en-
couraglng, that he has not only
he'd his place as an agriculturiSt,
but has a monopoly as ia producer
of the three great staples of the
South-cotton, rice and sugar.
In these fields be is practically
without a competitor. But 1t Is
as q laborer rather than as a
proprietor that his victories in this
direction have been most mark
edly achieved. His intellectual
developement has been much
more pronounced. He is to be
found sustaining himself credits-
bly, IN many of the professions,
but he is embarrassed by the pre-
iudice that spring from his former
condition aud is thus denied the
success attained by others no more
highly equipped than himself.
But it is in the exercise OF his
perogatives as a citizen that he Is
confronted with the greatest diff
ficulties. There is a determina-
ton on a part of the whites OF
the South that the colored man
shall not exercise the right OF
suffrage where his vOle can have
the slig htest influence in determin-
ing the elections. Heretofore the
shotgun pnIoicy has been relied
upon to dlsfrancbise him; now
however it is proposed to accom-
plish this result bV changing the
organic law of the states. Mis-
sissippi leads the van; Alabama,
louisiana and other states will
soon follow her example. The
most alarming feature OF the stu
alton is to be found in the stolid
indifference with which the North

Evergreen Nurseries.

We have been favored with the Cata-
logue of these Nurseries, it is the largest
and most complete list of forest trees,
evergreens and ornamental trees, ever
issued in this country. Their assort-
ment of trees suited to tree claims and
forest culture is by far the largest we
have ever seen, and on many things
their prices are much below any others.
They are making a speciality OF sugar
maple and yellow cottonwood for this
purpose, and claim to be able to furnish
them in unlimited quantities. These
nurseries were established twenty years
ago, without dollar capital, and have
grown to mammoth proportions, which
result could not have been realized ex-
cept by fair and honorable dealing.
Every man wanting trees should address
postal card to Evergreen Nurseries"
Evergreen, Door County, Wis, and ask
for thei5 catalogue.
