HARD o.. THE CHEROKEEs.


Monday the supreme court OF
the United States rendered a de-
cision in the case Of the Cherokee
nation versus the Southern Kan
sas Railroad company, declaring
the Cherokee nation was not q
sovereign power but a ward Of
the United States and that the
right of eminent domain is not
vested in the Cherokee nation, but
in the United States. In 1884
congress passed an act granting
the night of way to the Southern
Kansas Railroad company through
the Cherokee strip. The CherO-
kee nation entered suit against
that company tc prevent the road
from be constructed and to collect
damages for what work had al
ready been done The ground
for this suit was, that the right Of
eminent domain was given the
cherokees by the treaty, cOnse-
quently the United States had no
authority 10 grant right Of
way to this or any other railroad
through lands belonging to the
Cherokee nation In 1883 Judge
Parker rendered a decisiOd declar-
ing that the United States had
that authority and that the act of
1884 authorized the company to
build the road. From this decis-
ion the nation appealed to the
United States supreme court
which affirmed Parker's decision.
The supreme court holds that the
United States has the right Of emi-
nent domain not only in the CherO-
kee nation, but anywhere in the
United States, and can grant the
right of way 10 any road through
any part ofthe territory it sees fit.
The Southern Kansas railroad
viii be completed, but the road
viii pay the nation whatever dam
ages a committee chose for that
purpose shall jadge sufficient.
This decision is a heavy blow to
the Cherokee government. Con-
gress can permit a thousand rail-
reads to pass through this country
whether the CherOkees are willing
or not. But thatis not the worst.
Congress viii not only decide that
the welfare of the COVE -nment de
mands more roads through this
country, but that the lands Of the
outlet are needed for cultivation.
Since the United States has the
right Of eminent domain congress
ran condemn the strip, open it up
for settlement and pay the Chero-
sees whatever it sees fit. No Won
der the Cherokee commission Is
not anxious to come first TO the
Cherokees for negotiations. If
congress can so dispose of the
strip, can it not so dispose Of the
nation proper
Thus step by step the Cherokees
are losing ground-the rights and
privileges they hoped for and
claimed, under the treaties are
lost. The nation can receive no
more revenue for the strip, but
railroads without limit as 10 num-
Der can pass through it. Con-
gress viii not permit this govern
ment TO put inirudsrs out Of the
but II permits iniruders 10
remain Congress does not per-
nit this nation 10 saw who are en-
titled 10 citizenship. All tends TO
drive the Indians into statehood.

An Optimist's Awful Blow.

Lewiston Journal.
This Is about a young man who lives
In the Pine Tree state. This is young
man Of very deep feeling. When he
gets his mind set on thing it takes a
strong hold on him. His is one of those
Intense natures that can brook no Oppo-
sitiOn. Yet, up to the time of which
write he had always been noted for
looking upon the bright side of things
one of your real bright optimists, who
consider that every cloud has at least a
German silver lining. Well, this young
man had conferred his affections upon a
young lady in the village. and on
numerous occasions offered his escort
on rides and to parties. These were so
uniformly and firmly refused that he at
length brought matters to head by
asking the lady, point blank, why she
refused hts attentions.
Because" said she, 81 am engaged
to another man, and do not think it
would be right to go about with YOU"
The young man sat Stupelied for
moment, too absolutely stunned for
words. Then his FORMER bright nature
fOrsook him, as he looked, shuddering,
down the long black vista of the years
that confronted him. Not one ray of
light cleaned athwart the said vista.
Not glim. The clouds all seemed to
be lined with black alpaca. Turning
his mournful gaze upon the object of
his SOULS worship, this ene-time light
hearted, but now desolate. man brought
forth a groan from his Inmost being,
and said in voice that trembllngly told
of his deep feeling In the matter:
Abigail, would rather have given
So than have had this occur"

keeper.
Frank Wolfe, shipping clerk for r. r.
HoweIls IL Co., farming Implement
dealers at 222 Washington avenue
north, is very enterprislng citizen.
Of late. it is said. he has been running
against the wheel and other kindred
games of chance. and as result he is
far from being ahead of the
game. 10 recuperate his shat
tered fortunes it Is claimed that he
has reS0rted to blaekmail, or attempted
blackmail, but with poor results, for
yesterday he was arrested by Inspector
Lawrence and locked up. Later on his
friends appeared and bailed him out.
The story is as follows: A few days
ago b. Neumann,. who runs a saloon at
POI W aShlngtOn avenue north, received
very threatening letter to the effect
that If he did not send SIS TO Fred
Z. Milton, general delivery, before Sat
urday the writer would at once make
complaint against him for violating the
liquor ordnance in keeping his saloon
open on Sunday. Not only that, but
the letter went on to state that the
writer had plenty of witnesses to prove
MS accusations, and would endeavor to
have Neuman's license revoked and a
heavy fine imposed.
As Mr.. Neuman has not been violat-
ing the liquor ordinance. he at once
turned the letter over to the police.
Acting upon the advice of the police,
Yesterday he placed a decoy letter in
the postOtfice. Inspector Lawrence
placed himself in commanding posi-
ton and awaited developments. Late
in the afternoon a Scandinavian ap-
peared with note bearing the name of
Milton and directing the clerk to de-
liver 70 the bearer all mail addressed to
Fred e. Milton. Tim man was invited to
take a walk to police headquarters.
There the writing in the note was COM
pared with that i'll the letter and found
to be similar. Upon being questioned
the man said that Wolfe gave him the
note and told him to take it to the post
office. An officer was sent after Wolfe
and he was arrested. After some uues.
tioning he admitted. so 'tis claimed, that
he wrote the letter. Wolfe is a young
man about tweuty-Seven years of aye
and has hitherto borne an excellent
reputation. He will be examined to-
morrow.

Ottawa Special to the New York Sun.
There was quite ripple of excitement
Saturday at Rat Portage over roman
tic courtship and marriage of a Rainy
river settler. The groom was Robert
Gill, the teacher Of the Indian school,
and the bride Miss Emily Taylor, of
Owen Sound. Neither of the contract
ing parties had seen the other. but had
corresponded and exchanged photo
graphs. The groom arrived early in the
week to meet his future wife. expecting
her Tuesday: but IN this he was disap-
pointed, but Saturday last was more sue
cessful. The train arrived at noon, and
the citizens were aware of the approach
ing meeting and turned out in large
numbers to see the event. AS the train
drew In, trim-looking young lady
jumped off the car, and her large, dark
eyes rapidly sized up the crowd to see
her loved one. Alexander Rocking, of
Elm River, acted as master of cere-
monies, and at once took the young
bride in charge. He introduced the
pair. although he had never met the
young lady, and the groom seemed
greatly elated over the prize he had
drawn. The crowd set up laugh, and
could hardly restrain cheer when the
party marched off for a marriage
license. ALI the ministers in the town
we're down at the station, but Of course
none of them were looking for the lob.
at any rate, the pair were tied fast and
hard shortly after the arrival of the
train.

While many women still follow the
traditions of delicacy and helplessness
that have for SO many years enSErined
and enfecbled their sex, yet they have
come, all the same, to understand,
through the efforts of many of their
sisters who must perforce be strong,
that poor physique puts woman at
odds and at the mercy of others when
the stress of life comes. In the new
creed to which women are given
