A Government Needed.

To provide good government foI
 the Indian Territory lEls long been |,
 congressional puzzle. It is not gov
 erned much either by federal or local
 authority, and better conditions are
 needed for q country really capable of
 splendid possibilities. Representative
 Springer has offered the latest sugges-
 tion, in the shape of bill to form the
 State of Columbia from that portion of the Territory held by the five tribes To something like this, bringing citi- zenship to the Indian and land in sev- crafty. the Territory must inevitably Icome.--Batesvilie Guard.
 It seems an anomaly that the United States would permit the trayesty on government exhibited in that large dis trict Of country. known as the Indian country.

A NATIONAL LOSS.
Death of Henry ". Grady. the Great
 Southern Orator and Editor.

Henry W. Grady, the brilliant young orator and editor of the Atlanta Con stitution. is dead. During his recent visit to Boston to attend banquet. at which ex-President Cleveland was guest and speech-maker, he con tracted typhoid pneumonia, which de- veloped immediately upon his return to Atlanta. and ended in his demise. Mir Grady was the most conspicuous representative of the great South, and was beloved by all the people who claim that part of the United States as their home. He was only thirty-eight years of age, yet within the last ten years had achieved fame as an editor, as an orator of great eloquence and power and as a broad-minded man, who. while loving the South, yet recognized that the old war issues were dead, and that the duty of all Northern and Southern sons of the blond-bathed flag was to help the bodY of the people to forget the animosities and differences of the past and join hands in working for the future advancement of the whole country. He labored zealous!v for the best interests of his beloved South on this line. and the laying aside of sec tionallsm which has begun to take such gratifying form is due very largely to his logic, his e!oquencs and his earnest ness of purpose. Indeed it was in this cause that he met his death. He at- tended the Boston banquet as the bril- liant representative of the Southern people, and made one of his character istic speeches there. sharing with ex. President Cleveland the honors of the occasion. It was on this mission that he was striken with disease. In hIs own words, he fell talking for the South, even as his father fell fighting for it. And it is n fitting tribute to his memory that his battle for the land he loved was one whereof the weapons were reason, generosity, charity and love as opposed to the fire and sword of his fathers strife. It was his for tune to hold a warm place in the hearts of all Southerners, not because he op- posed or hated the North. but because he sought to bring the erstwhile an tagoDstic sections into that union of sentiment as we'll as of being which marks the typical republic. IL may be we'll said Of Henry W. Grady: He was the foremost Southern man of his time "-Chicago Mail,
