THE HERO OF NEW ORLEANS.

President Jackson was another who thought
the militia subject one to which the attention
OF Congress should be directed, and in 1882 he
wrote:
IF, in asserting rights or in repelling
wrongs war should come upon u.s. our regular
force should be increased to an extent pro-
porhoned to the emergency and our present
small army is a nucleus around which such
force could be formed and embodied But for
purposes OF defense, under ordinary circum-
stances, we must rely upon the electors OF the
country. Those by whom and for whom the
government instituted and is supported
will continue its protection in the hour of
danger as they do its check in the hour of
safety"
These quotations are only few from the
many which Gen. Ordway has searched out and
made an interesting eight-page pamphlet of;
one which is being read with a good deal OF
profit by legislators and others Of the govern
ment

WASHINGTON LETTER.

wAsHISGroS, d. C.. June i6. 1890
Mr.. Blaine, according to some
of his indiscrcet friends, has made
up his mind to go in and fight Speak
re Reed to the death. He does not
relish the rapidity with which the
speaker has mounted to the top of
the ladder of party leadership.
The first fight between the rivals
is TO be over the federal election
bill, which Mr.. Reed is particular
ly anxious to see passed, and
which he has persuaded the house
caucus to endorse. Mr.. Blaine
will bring all the influence he can
to bear, in order to defeat the bill,
so that the fate Of this bill will
show which of them is in control
of his party in the house, and give
an idea of the victor in the con-
hict.
Commissioner of Pensions Raum
told a friend here that he was very
much disgusted with his Office and
tn at he was seriously contemplat-
ing resigning and retiring from
politics.
The civil service investigating
committee has made its report.
and a queer document it is. 1t
puts a liberal coat of white-wash
on Commissioners Thompson and
Roosevelt, and finds poor friend
less Lyman, guilty as indicted. "
There is no doubt about Lyman's
guilt. but the question which is
puzzling the people is why wasn't
Roosevelt equally guilty in max
ing the Shidy deal. Lyman's
brotAeE-in-law, Campbell. has re-

While the United States wanted
those lands and were bound to
have them il offered only 40 cents
per acre for them. But the
Cherokees wanted more; and see
ing that II could get no more any
other way, hit upon the oxpedi
ent Of selling il in lots to any man
that wished to buy. Congress
granted that request; and, as re-
suit, instead Of getting only 49
cents, more than sl.00 per acre
was realized. So it is with
the strip to-day. 1t is not likely
that the present, or any succeeding
commission for that matter, will
offer moro than Sl.25 an acre for
the outlet, but if congress will on
ly allow us to sell it out to actual
settlers at whatever prices we can
get, the Cherokees will again real
ize more than double the price of
fered by congress. The Times
has not been fair in its articles or
even truthful since il does not tell
both sides. 1t is evidently O
"boomer" paper and issues a lot
Of "boomer" literature that in
jures both the United States gov
ernment and the Cherokees.
Ifthe United States government
really wants the land. it is all
powerful and can get it. All the
Cherokees ask, is that they will
be allowed to take that method OF
disposing of the land that will
bring its true value. That way
is, without doubt, to allot the strip
and let each man dispose of his
land in any way he sees fit. 1t
will soon be occupied by United
States citizens and put in as good
a state Of cultivation as any state
in the union that ought to satisfy
the demands Of the United States,
while on the other hand, the
Cherokees will get the full value
for their property-that ought to
satisfy the Cherokees.
