LONDON, May 3O.-Again the question of
the censorship exercised by the Rus
sian Government is attracting atten-

all bounds. Not only are messages
stopped, about which there may by chance
be difference of opinion, but matters of
absolute fact are detained until they are
actually announced in the Government
Gazette Sometimes they are not even
allowed then, and they are forbidden to be
telegraphed without a reason of any sort
vouchsafed for their detention.
The result of this arbitrary mode of pro-

passes through the hands of the censor be-
comes doctored and cut SO as to suit the
view of the department.

written their impressions that came to them
while looking out of express trains going at
the rate of 40 miles an hour, and we have a
hazy idea of the Republic as sort of tail
to the United States. The truth is that the
country is an empire in itself, and just what
sort of an empire and how much it is worth,
even its own citizens do not know. 1t is
supposed that there are about II, ,000, 900 Of
people in the Republic, but they have never
been accurately counted, and the most Of
them are of character and race about
which the world knows nothing. The men
known as Mexicans are the ruling class and
these are numbered by thousands instead Of
millions.

According to Judge Green's de-
cision il seems that the Cherokee
title is a qualified one and that the
Strip could not be used for any
other purpose save as an outlet.
That our title was a conditional
one has never been set forth before.
If fsuch be the case IL could easily
be determined by examination Of
the patent itself. If those,provis.
ions that limit the fee are included
in the instrument itself as set forth
by Judge Green, then no other
conclusion could have been
reached. But the question natural
ly arises, why was fourteen million
acres patented to the Cherokees
when they were to have only
seven? Or, if the additional seven
million acres was only for an ease
ment why specify a certain num-
Der of acres and issue patent for
the same, and in that patent and
in all the treaties why incorporate
the term "forever2" II has always
been understood that the retersion
to the United States was when the
tribe became entirely extinct OF
abandoned the country and if this
land has reverted to the United
States, why does the United States
come and offer the Cherokees
sl.25 per acre for it2 This is GER
tainly a very remarkable case. ii
the Cherokees have lost the Outlet
by abandonment when did they
abandon it2 When the Otoes and
Missourias were settled upon a
part of it the United States rec.
ognized the title as being in the
Cherokees as they were required
to make deeds to the land sold tc
the above named Indians. And il
the title was in the Cherokees ther
when did they lose it? Judge
Green says that the Cherokee ma.
ton has ceased to use the Outlet
Again we ask, when did they ceas,
to use it? Every one knows thai
they occupied it until they were
forced off by the military. Judge
Green further says that whether
there has been a cessation of The
use is rather a political than {
judicial question which should be

ical and common occurrences. The
question naturally arises in our
minds, will this ever occur in our
own beloved country2 The policy
of the United States seems to indi-
cate that such may be the case. II
is with sadness that we view the
situation. The Indian race with
its romance, its legeods, its un-
written history, is fast fading from
the earth and can only claim a
place in chronicles of the race that
has absorbed il. Rushes like the
one that occurred Tuesday our
children will never see. The
"boomer," the ''nester," the
"squatter" and we may say the
"intruder," will have become OBJ
solete terms before another decade.
1t has taken the Anglo Saxon race
four centuries to conquer the red
man, but the struggle is closing. A
few remnants of tribes here and
there is all that is left. II has not
been through conquest alone that
the white man has overcome the
Indian, but by gradually mixing
with and absorbing him and it has
taken nearly four centuries to
change the character of this pc
ouliar people.
