THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

1t is understood that the Cherokee
council and the United States commits
sion have agreed upon the sale and
purchase of the Cherokee strip. 1t
will probably be opened to settlement
in the spring and there will be rush
of homeseekers, spectators and schem-
ers greater than that of three years
ago 10 Oklahoma. 1t should be under
stood that these lands will have to be
paid for by the settlers and it should
also be understood that most Of these
lands are comparatively worthless for
agricultural purposes. IL fact n large
portion OF them are unsuitable for
grazing purposes, They lack water,
timber and soil, being either barren of
all vegetation except sage grass. sand
spurs and cactus. Without irrigation
160 acre claim will not produce
enough on the average to sustain
flock of Missouri goats and it is only
In about Que year in five that a crop
can be raised on the best lands in that
latitude.
TO the poor man there are no in
ducements to go to the poorest section
of country on the continent and buy a
farm. The willy speculator has in
some instances made money out Of
lands in the arid regions, but the in-
dustrious agriculturist has made
failure every time. Look at the de-
populated towns and abandoned homes
of western Kansas, Nebraska and Col
oradol Many well-to-dO farmers went
there aud stuck TO it for years until
money and hope were all gone and
then after having spent several of their
best years IN useless toll were. forced
to come back and make a new start in
life. The Cherokee strip msy be fair

DEATH OF SENATOR PLUME.


The news of the sudden and unex
pected death of Senator Preston ID
Plumb was received with deep sorrow
In every city and hamlet In thu
broad state which he 80 ably rep
resented in the senate of the United
States. The earnest and indefatigabl'
work of the dead senator had endear'
cd him to all classes of people in his
own state, so that he had few enemies
and multitude of warm friends, not
only in Kansas but throughout the
Union.
Senator Plumb was what might be
termed four square man, having
moved up ~ his own efforts from the
printers cas TO one of the highest Of
fees within the gift Of the people and
held that Office TO the satisfaction OF
nearly all his constituents. No man
in the senate did more work, or look
cd closer into the details Of his official
duties, or listened more patiently to
the many petitions, complaints and
demands of his people than did our
late senator. 1t is an undeniablc fact
that he shortened his life by close at
tention TO the arduous duties of his Of
fetal life and Kansas may well mourn
the loss of one of the most faithful of
her public servants.
Other men may spring up who will
fill his place, but it is doubtful if one
can be found possessed of the sterling
integrity, the powerful energy and
the kindly disposition which were all
united in the man who has just passed
away. He was not a rich man as
many supposed, but he was a shrewd
business man and something OF q
speculator. If he had not gone into
politics, he used TO say, he would sure
" have drifted to Wall street. He
was bold in his operations and If he
believed in project no risk was too
great for him TO take.
lie did not seem to care for money
in itself, but the fascination of some
vast enterprise was always enough to
interest him. He probably leaves his
widow, who is an invalid, and child
ren in comfortable circumstances, but
not rich. About year ago q news
paper correspondent who was inter-
viewing 1.-THE millionaire senator's" ran
against Plumb. The Kansas senator
was pleased at the notion and told his
visitor that he did not mind being
taken for q millionaire. "Dut / am
not" he said. "When / came to the
senate was worth probably $4,000.
1 had earned il by hard work. l am
like the rest of the world, and have
hopes that some day 1 may make a
fortunate hit, yet l would count my
self fortunate if today / could 60 out
of public life with the modest fortune
I had when entered the senate"

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26.
WHO WILL FILL THE PLACE.

There is naturally scramble to I'LL
The vacancy in the United States SEN
ate caused by the death of Senator
Plumb and already the governor Is
being besicgcd by petitions, applica-
, tions and recommendations. Among
those prominently mentioned for the
appointment are John j. ingalls,, u.
w. Perkins, Geo. Il. Anthony, j. r.
Burton, Geo. II. Peck, j. NJ. Peters and
Judge Horton. The voice of the peo-
ple in southeastern Kansas is almost
unanimously for B. w. Perkins, and
il is doubtful if, out of the whole list,
better choice could be made. He has
had an active experience in congress
for so long that he is better qualified
10 step light into working harness than
any other man who could be appoint
cd. Inasmuch as Senator Peffer is at
the best an inexperienced statesman
and acting with an infnitesmal min
DIRTY, not even commanding sufficient
attention TO be made chairman of one
of the unialportant committees, it
would seem wise that such man as
B.W. Perkins, with his ripe experience
and peculiar qualifications, should be
rendered the place.
Mr.. Perkins is decidedly Kansas
man and no member of congress from
this state ever filled the position with
more credit or quilted his seat with
higher bonOrs than our member from
The third district. No untried or in
competent man should at such time
rs this be thought of as a possible
candidate. Senator Plumb, a strong
and experienced man, was worked to
death by the arduous duties attending
his Office, and it would be folly to
think of filling his place with some in
competent man or allow Kansas TO be
represented in the senate of the United
States with two mere fgurebeads.
The appointment of B. W. Perkins
would give great satisfaction to all
classes of people. lie is widely known
throughout the whole country as a
leader in congress and his opinions
are respected by men of all political
parties. In his own district his APP
pointment for this position world re-
ceive the almost unanimous endorse
ment of Democrats, Republicans and
Al!iancemcn. Gov. Humphrey can
crafty the wishes Of more people by
the nomination to the United States
senate of Bishop w. Perkins than by
the. nomination of any other OF the
candidates named.

to look upon and our commissioners
in their wisdom may have considered
II worth 100000 but unless the rain
makers succeed better than they have
done, or tho lands can he irrigated
with something besides water, there Is
no money to the government In the
purchase and II can be bought for less
money ten years from now.
The best use tho government could
make of these lands would be TO allot
them 10 the blanket Indians to raise
fleas on, as they seem to be totally un.
fit for any other purpose and 1t is
wrong TO deludc hard working farmers
into buying lands that will bring them
TO poverty and starvation. Improved
Kansas lands in the same latitude as
the Cherokee strip can be bought for
about the same money settlers will
have to pay for the strip lands and
claim contests would be avoided.
Home seekers should consider these
things in all their different phases and
before giving up sure thing to accept
an uncertainty should ascertain from
reliable information whether the wild
lands of the Cherokee strip are likely
to prove to them Garden of Eden or
a graveyard for their industry, de-
lusion and q snare.

Startling Facts.

MR. EDITOR. copy the follow
ing extracts from the report of the
Collector General of Customs for
the year 1890. On page G he says,
referring to the imports for the
year:
Notably there has been a large
increase in ales, wines aud spirits
of s92, ,5S6.OO."
On page Is we read: With an
addition of only 632 persons to our
European population the consump-
ton of strong spirits shows a re-
markable increase over that of 1899.
Chief among the list of spirits are
gin and whlskey. The consump-
ton of the former increased 6,715
gallons, and the latter 2,115 gal
Ions. With a loss of 913 Chinese.
the consumption of samshoo has in
creased 4,777 gallons. l13,247
gallons of California wines have
been imported and consumed dur
ing the year, against 72,2SI gallons
for 1889, gain in consumption of
1896 gallons. This amount of
1l3,247 gallons of wine represents
over one gallon consumed for every
person in the Kingdom.
The amount of beer consumed
has been 81, 2,659 dozen quarts, 14,161
dozen pints, and 1874 gallons,
against 26,O62 dozen quarts, 1923
dozen pints and 61,863 gallons for
1889.
1.-The number of gallons which
would represent all of the beer
IN bulk and bottles is 94,466 gal
Ions"
On page 10, Table No. 16, the
following receipts are given: SIM
port Duties, Spirits, s337216.I5;
Imported Duties. Goods, $780,
90S.SO."
On page 20, the collector says:
"Two items show very large in
crease; duties on spirits S78, ,O46,
and duties on goods s5S,5O4."
Are not the above statements
and figures furnished by the Col
lector of Customs startling facts?
To think that with an increase
of ''onIy 632 persons to our Euro
pean population " the original cost
Of liquors should have increased
S92, $50, on an addition to the rev.
enue of S78,046 a total of sl7O,632
for these two items alone, to which
must be added freights, carting,
insurance, labor, wholesale and
retail profits, shows an alarming
state of aff.irs, and just the oppo- |
site to true prosperity of the king
1om.
These extracts were made with |
he hope that the temperance peo-
pie of these Islands may consider |
hem, and act accordingly.

I4O RELIGIONS.

The census announcement that
there are 40 religious bodies in
the United States, exclusive of
many independent congregations,
will be received with some sur
prise by most people whose knowI
edge of different sects does not en-
brace more than . dozen or twenty
at the most. In the list, as dis
closed by the preliminary bulletin
issued by the Census Bureau from
Washington, are the General Six
Principle Baptists, the Schwerkfel-
dians, the Theosophic,I Society
the Life Advent Union and
others, which. to a majority of peo-
pie, will be entirely new. With
40 ereeds formally adopted and
many independent organizations"
with their own notions besides, the
task of those who favor church
union Is difficult indeed. Ii only
the more numerous denominations
existed the labor of effectIng
unity of churches with regard to
pOiIty and the more essential doc
trines might be easier, but what
shall be said when i hundred little

lIefs and customs, are IN the field

SUGAR CULTURE.

We are enabled by the kindness
of Mr.. Arthur T. Robinson, sugar
planter himself and 3 gentleman
fully cognizaut Of the details of the
cultivation and manufacture of
sugar in Mauritius, to give some
important points Of comparison be-
tween the methods. expenses and
details of sugar production, here
and elsewhere.
The island in the Indian Ocean
known as the Mauritius is situated
as TO latitude nearly as far to the
south OF the Equator as we are to
the north. The area of the island
is little less than that of Kauai,
yet It maintains u population of
$4,000 people, or about 500 to the
acre, and exports I2O to 1900
tons of sugar per annum.
The soil of the Mauritius is, like
ours, volcanic, but having been
longer under cultivation requires
more artificial fertilizer than is
needed here-as yet. but taking
Piant-eane and ratOon together
yields an average of three tons per
acre.
