During the coming year it is the inten-
ton to outline completely the following

l. A course in agriculture.
II. A course in science and literature
III. A course in mechanical engineer
ing.
IV. A course in civil engineering.
V. A classical preparatory course.
VI. A commercial course.
Telegraphy, music, drawing and prob

other arts and sciences and to our national
prosperity; on farm crops, planting, cu-

fertilizers, buildings, fences, implements,

The books necessary are either loaned or

college buildings:stand contains 250 acres ;
100 of the finest bottom land under lrrl-
CATION, and the remainder mesa land:
The whole will be used for experimental
purposes in connection with the expert

which has beautiful and picturesque sur

New YORK, Aug. 22d.-As one result
of the meeting of prominent democrats,
which was held in this city last week, the
services of two leading detective agencies
have been retained with view toward
the discovery of writer's of the ANONYMOUS
pamphlet, bearing the title, "Anti-Cleve-
land" which was recently circulated
throughout the country to total of sew
eial hundreds of thousands. Most of
the pamphlets were mailed in York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Washington. The
pan phlet SAYS that opponents Of the ex-
president to a total of several thousands
have formed a secret association, with
grips and passwords and that the orga-
nzation is being widely extended through
out the country. What action will be
taken, should the author or publisher be
discovered is not known. The engage
ment of the detectives is not an official
step but was the result of conference Of
leading democrats from many parts of the
country and who have mutually agreed to
bear their full share of the expenses that
will be incurred. One of the leading l3w
firms of this city has rendered an opinion
that the preparing and circulating of the
pamphlet amounts to conspiracy punish
able under the criminal law.

all the progressive work that gave to In
diana her admirable and school system
From 1868 to 1865 he travelled among
the publishing house of Charles Scribner
& Co. In 1865 he returned to his first
love, bought property, imported trained
teachers, equipped and organized at
Richmond "Hadley's Normal School, q
most successful institution. In 1857 he
was induced to resign active connection
with this school, and again enter the
service of the Scribner publishing
house. This necessitated his re-
moving to Chicago, where in connec-
ton with his brother he founded the
book house of Hadley Brothers. 1t was
successful, but the great fire of 1871 con-
sumed their entire stock. This was one
of the few book houses in Chicago that
paid its creditors in full after the fire,
! But the strain WAS too much. With
diminished capital, business and expenses
increased, and he sold his interest in the
business and retired to his original busi-
ness, teaching. He founded the Iladley
polls, Nhich proved very successful during
his connection with it. Later he was
principal Of B!oomingdale classical acad-
emy for two years, and resigned to come
to New Mexico. He is author OF Hadley's
Language Series and associate author Of
Lee 4 Hadley's English Grammar. Had
ley's Lessons in Language was the first
book published with that or any similar
title. In politics he is a Republican; in
religion "Friend," or Quaker, and was
for several years previous to leaving for
New Mexico secretary of the "Western
yearly meeting of Friends"
His life has been a mixture of teaching
and business, bnt at no time has it been
entirely separated from the work of edu-
cation.

PROMISES INSTEAD oF DASH.

The United States commission to
treat with the Cherokees, very
skillfully endeavored to give the
Cherokees valuable promises in
stead of cash for the Cherokee Out
let. They were ready to promise
that they would settle the intruder
question, the claimant to citizen
ship question, the settling of
friendly Indians east of 96. They
wanted to give them promises in
stead of money. The Cherokees
do not need any more promises in
this direction. They can settle the
intruder business very easily them
selves by having an intelligent del
egation put on the Indian bill which
is annually passed, a provision to
have the intruder question settled
by justices of the peace under
proper regulations. We have treaty
promises on this point already that
are Ineffective, because the govern
mental machinery is defective.
We need a new set of laws to grind
this grist, and that's all we do need.
The citizenship question might be
settled in the same direction or
might be settled by the executive
department by bringing the proper
influence 70 bear on the president
of the United States. These ques-
tions have been heretofore treat.

less weak. As to settling friendly

sooner the fact is legally establish
ed and a basis for negotiation
reache,l tne better. There are many
thousand acres of good land in the
outlet scrupulously kept as a Wild
erness in Difference TO the fiction
that the country belongs to the
Indians. As matter of fact it
seems that the Indians own merely
right-o way, which is not a
proprietary interest, but merely
an easement, as the lawyers have
1t, in the land of another. And
the great hunting grounds in the
west having long ago been occupied
by settlers, and the object for which
the right-of- was granted hav-
ing disappeared, it is an open ques-
ton if the easement has not also
lapsed. Be this as il may, there is
too much good land lying idle
between the southern border of
Kansas and the northern edge OF
Oklahoma. If the Indians have any
salable rights in the outlet, let
them be purchased without unnec-
essary delay, in order that the bars
may be let down and the settlers
let in. 1t would be a good thing
for the civilized tribes as well as
for their civilized white neighbors
to open the whole of the Indian
country not actually occupied by
the five nations, to settlement.
Whether it would be a good thing
for land Office jobbers is a different
question.
Referring to the outlet, it alleges
We "scrupulously keep it wild.
erness," that we "only have right
of way" and sit is an open question
If the easement has not lapsed."
See the fruit of Judge Green's out
rageous decision, and the feeling of
this great journal. The Chero.
KEGS cannot hold this outlet, so
greatly needed for bread produc.
ing district, as a wilderness. The
American people will strain point
to open it and the judges of Okla
homa, and officers of the Interior
department have paved the way.
The time has come for action. The
Cherokees must not sit sullen and
still but must assume control OF
this land, divide it up and place
twenty odd thousand patents on it
to as many Cherokees. The pat
ents can be sustained in the su-
preme court of the United States
and when congress is confronted
with this condition instead of a
theory" we need not fear hasty
action against us. Misinformation,
crafty management, will lose its
cunning, confronted by the living,
active truth. Congress will hear
US and learning the truth confirm
our title.

JUDGE GREEN'S DECISION.

Judge Green holds his appoint
ment as Judge for a four year term
and if be is re-appointed it will be
because he meets the approval Of
the administration The position
of the administration has been
shown by Secretary Noble hereto
fore, in which he has seen fit to treat
the Cherokee title to the Outlet, as
a defective title. Associate Justice
Brewer of the Supreme Court Of the
United States has declared that the
Justices of the Supreme Court Of
the United States unanimously
concur with the views of Honorable
/. G. Parker as to the character Of
the Cherokee title in the Outlet, to-
wit: That all the estate is in the
Cherokee nation. Judge Green's
decision is absurdly long, full of
comparatively irrelevant matter,
unnecessary quotations intended
apparently to impress the superb
cial observer Chat is to impress the
great majority Of men)with the idea
that an extensive examination
proves a defective title. Judge
Green's decision ought to com.
mend him very strongly Tor re.
appointment. The decision is from
a legal standpoint, fatally weak.
From the treaties Of 1916 and 1856
and the laws passed since then, ho
draws no lesson and puts a con
struclion upon the act Of congress
Of l830,upon the treaty Of 1888 and
1885 so palpably erroneous that il
is difficult to credit the judge with
honest purpose. The decision We
believe is inspired and CONTROLLED
by the policy of the administration
the Oklahoma officials and spec
ulators, to compel the Cherokeel
to sell this land before il is takeI
from then. Judge Green says il
his closing argument that the righ
of the Cherokees, that the question
whether the Cherokee nation haC
ceased TO use the Outlet as an out
let and that the lands have revert
ed to the United States "should be
settled by congress and the presi
dent, demonstrating that his whole
opinion was drafted with the view
