men from the strip and destroy the
plant The Cherokees applied for an
Injunction in the United States court
and the case has been pending since.
Judge Green's decision yesterday de-
nies the application OF an injunction
and gives the title OF the outlet TO the
government. The opion covers the en-
tire question OF Indian titles and con-
tains 5000 words. The conclusions OF
the Judge are as follows:
The Cherokee nation holds the lands
in the Cherokee outlet by the same
title that ii holds the lands ceded TO il
for a permanent home-that Is, by the
treaties of 1926, 1888 and 1885 and the
patent of 1878 but their estate in the
Cherokee outlet is lease qualified.
The lands in the Cherokee outlet
were ceded to the Cherokee nation as
an outlet and for the purpose Of an out
let only and not for residence and culti-
walton, and in such case the law an
nexes the qualification or condition
that the estate shall continue In the
Cherokee nation only 80 long as the
lands are used us an outlet and no long
er, and when the Cherokee nation
ceases to use the lan ~ an outlet such
cessation OF the use terminates their
estate aud The ads revert 70 the
United States,
The lands have h,en csled aud
granted as an outlet they cannot be
lawfully used for any 1ther purpose,
either bv the Cherokee nation or per
sons claiming license or lease under the
Cherokee nation, and the subsection of
the land to any other use is wrongful
and breach Of the qualifications or
condition annexed to the state, and the
iduuS revert 70 lhc nhltcu piANcS'
The Cherokee nation has no right to
use the land for the purpose OF opening
stone quarry therein and selling and
shipping the rock, and could give the
complainants by license no greater
right team the Cherokee nation itself
has and the operating o the stone
quarry bv the complainants is wrongful
and court OF equity will not protect
them by injunction in such wrongful
act.
II the Cherokee nation has ceased TO
use the lands as an outlet such action
has terminated the estate and the lands
have reverted TO the United States, but
whether there las been such cession is
political rather than a judicial ques'
tion, and should be settled bv congress
and the chief executive Of the nation.

New York's Lieutenant Governor Propos

New Y0rk'a Lieutenant Governor Proposes
10 Fight Democratic Nominees.
BINGHAMPToN, N. ". September %.
I'm response to inquiries as 70 his posi-
tion regarding the democratic ticket,
Lieutenant Governor Jones has pre-
pared a statement for the Associated
Press, but he declined to specify Just
what steps he proposes TO take to ac-
complish his declared purpose.
Mr.. Jones says thai his political ac-
tion has always been controlled by his
sense OF loyalty as a citizen, never rec
ognizing conflicting party obligations.
He believes in this instance that not
only have the interests OF the people
been sacrificed, but that the existence
OF the democratic party has been jeop-
ardized, for behind the nominations and
in absolute control Of the party are men
whose every sentiment OF patriotism Is
subject either 10 their personal ambi-
I tion or their selfish greed
Continuing, Mr.. Jones says: SO
complete Is the power OF these men.
and so dictatorial have they become,
that members OF the party are but serfs
so far as political action is concerned.
Continued subservience but makes the
condition too degrading TO be borne by
American citizens. I here is but one
way to dislodge these usurpers. The
temporary defeat OF the party will be
harmless compared with the effect OF
their control For the welfare OF the
state and in the interest OF the demo
cratic party to me my duty appears
clear, which is to oppose the election OF
the nominees OF the Saratoga conven-
! tion TO such an extent as may be within
my power, and in such manner as may
seem hest TO accomplish that purpose.

A young man OF Pennsylvania is re-
ported TO have died within fifteen min
utes from the sting OF common honey
bee received on the tip OF the finger.
This is the third fatal case collected in
the notes OF the writer, and he has
knowledge of two others which 10 every
appearance came within very little OF
producing death. 1t is a question
whether in these cases death resulted
from peculiar susceptibility 10 the poi
son on the part OF the individual, pc
culiar malignancy OF the poison OF the
individual bee, or a peculiar manner OF
inserting the poison. directly into a
vein, for example. The writer's own
opinion is that il was peculiar susceDti-
bility 10 the poison on the part OF the
individual. The peculiar fact, howev-
er, that no case Of a fatal result from
the sting OF single wasp, hornet or
bumble bee has been reported, lends
some probability to the view that in the
honey bee family some individual bees
are provided with peculiarly intense
and dangerous venom. Possibly, also,
some unsuspected organic disease may
have existed in these cases. and the
sting may have only precipitated a IA
tai event. Going in bathing sometimes
precipitates death from diseased heart
or impending apoplexy. A man within
the writer's knowledge fell into the
water and was taken out dead; supposed
TO have been suicidal drowning. Au-
topsy revealed Bright's disease and a
clot on the brain.-Dr. NJ. g. Elzey.

DUN'S REVIEW.
Business Steadily Improving
Throughout the Country.
Money Easier Business Eniarging and
IncreasinR-Prlces Remain firm
in all Lines.

NEW YORK, Sept 22.--R G. Dun
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says
The hot weather in the west Is worth
10 the country many millions every
day
With money coming in for stocks and
bonds, as we'll as for wheat and cotton
and with the liquidation OF farming in
debtedness, the prospects for business
this fall are unusually bright. An
actual improvement is seen in nearly
all cities from which reports have been
received this week At Boston trade
is enlarging. At Philadelphia business
Is more active. At Cleveland trade Is
nearly all Increasing. Az Chicago

receipts Of rye and wheat are six times

are not drawing as heavily as northern
crops, but money is going south for cot

factory and money easier. At Nash
vile an improvement is seen and mon
ey is not so close as heretofore. AT
Sayanah trade is fair but the money
market is still tight and at New Or
leans improvement Is seen in groceries
Rice is moving freely and money,
though in good demand is insufficient
10 supply all Legitimate needs.
II is especially noteworthy that col
lections are improving at most points
and that the money markets are on the
whole comparatively easy, although
crops TO be moved are enormous and the
actual movement unprecedented. The
wheat receipts at the west for three
days this week averaged more than
!, 500, 900 bushels daily, and although
exports are only about half as large, the
foreign demand sulflces 20 strengthen
the prices, which have risen two cents
in the past week on sales OF only about
81 900, 900 bushels here.
Corn declines rapidly as the fear OF
harm from frost vanishes and is 81
cents lower than week ago, while
oats Is It lower. Lard and hogs de-
clined three-fourths Of cent while oil
advanced 2cents
II is a surprising fact that notwith-
standing the output OF pig iron is al
most equal to the largest ever known,
the price grows more steady and stiff
and decidedly better tone is observ-
ed in all important markets.
An awakening is seen in the boot
and shoe business, although shipments
are not at present equal 10 those of
last year. but manufacturers have more
satisfactory orders and the feeling is
more confident.
Woolen manufactures are doing re.
markably well in some branches,
peculiarly in worsted and dress goods
and the demand for dress goods notably
exceeds the present supply.
Business failures throughout the
country for the past week number 239,
compared with PA last week. For the
corresponding week last year the fig
ures were 100.

II Is amusing 10 compare the editor
als OF the democrat-republican gold
bug national bank newspapers when
speaking of Kansas at the present time
with the remarks OF self shame papers
made last fall and winter Then they
we're cursing the farmers alliance for
svery i'll and prophesying the direct
calamities from the acts Of the farmers
legislature Of the state. They predict
ID the Withdrawal Of all eastern capital
invested there and the speedy ruin and
downfall OF every interest. Now they
arc boasting OF the rood crops
Iof the state. telling OF the
rapid cancelling OF mortgages and pre-
dieting "a glorious future for Kansas
farmers.
And the funniest thing about all this
talk OF these political bunco steerers is
The causes they give for this change In
the state OF things. When Kansas was
suffering from failure Of crops and
her hard working farmers with blight
ed hopes saw forsaken homes staring
them in the face; when they felt the
cold grip OF the mortgage closing tight
or and tighter and wife and children
were trembling and hoping almost
against hope. they said farmers were to
blame for this themselves; that they
did not properly plant their crops or
take care Of them after they were
planted. and II they would pay more
attention 10 their farms and let politics
alone they would be better OF. But
now, when the prairies Of Kansas are
rich with golden harvest planted and
being gathered by the alliance farmers
OF the state these all-wise prophets
and reasoners are willing to credit
these bright prospects to anything else
than the efforts Of the farmers.
We should think such reasoning as
this was enough TO convince any farmer
that all the polite an cared for him was
to use him for his own special purpose.
II drouths and Hoods and insects de-
str3y crops, the farmer is negligent and
is 10 blanc for the failure; yet let there
come season OF prosperity, with rain
or sunshine Just as needed. he gets no
credit, but is told that Providence Is
exceedingly kind to him, and that II he
sill only tend to bis farm, she Will con
tinuo TO bless him.
such talk is indeed amusing. and eve
rs intelligent farmer should make the
most Of IL AS club Of ridirule for the
scheming politician who is always work
ing his own advancement and AS a
means Of accomplishing this end is con
stantly trying to keep the farmer in the
background by preaching to him that
he should bc satisfied with his present
social and political position and priyi-
eges. and that Providence had never
intended him for further advancement.
