THINKS THE 100000 WILL BE

A Washington special to the Globe
Democrat says, ex-Cpngressman Perkins,
of Kansas, who was chairman of the
house committee on Indian affairs during
the past two years. thinks the Choctaws
and Chickasaws will get their money.
voted in the Indian appropriation bill.
Secretary Noble he said, isn't
going to take any hurried or inconsider-
do nothing until the Indians themselves
made with them. When they have done
consider the matter, and his conclusions
approval The amount involved is large
with celebration. 1t may be said that
and perhaps such an opinion has a
solid basis, but the error will be
popular enc. For years we
have been told hat the government was
cheating the Indians; it is relief to
know of one case in which the Indians
will get little bit ahead Of the govern
ment.
incidentally Mr.. Perkins is going to
practice law here and push few Indian
claims as an attorney himself.
Il am going home to Kansas in a
couple of weeks" he continued. Il am
not going 20 stay home, however. My
residence will continue to be in Kansas,

Another Kansas ex-congressman. E. J.

doubtless retain his residence at Hoxie,

the time on legal business.

EXPLANATIONS THAT DON'T EX-
PLAIN

The point made by Chairman Cannon,
of the ways and means committee of the
last congress, in explanation of the ex-
travagance of that body, /. e. that it is,
in part at least, the result Of distributing
the appropriation bills among eight COM
mittees instead of one, sounds plausible;
but his further attempt to place the re-
sponsibility primarily upon the Demo-
Gratis OF preceding congress, wherein
they had majority and changed the
rules SO as to provide for such distribu-
ton of appropriation bills to various
committees, will hardly be acceptable
to the country. The Republicans con-
trolied the last congress and should have
changed the Democratic method of look
ing after these Important interests of the
government. If Mr.. Cannon is correct
in his statement there will be no change
made in the modus operandi of the house
in making up the appropriation bills, not
for two years at least, as the Democrats
will control that body and will not
change their own methods of course.
1t is safe to predict, though, that the
made by the Fifty-second
congress will not exceed those of the
Fifty first, for the very good reason that
there will not be as much money to dis

FESTIVAL FREAKS.

The recurrence of Easter upon an un-
usually early date this year, one week
from today, has brought out some curl
Gus statistics in relation to that festival.
In 1888 Easter fell on March -. and
viii occur but once more this century
so early, in 1894. 1t is calculated that in
the three following centuries it will oc-
cur only eight times on the same date
namely, in 1851, 2035. 20l6, POST. 2lo2,
2l14,2l25 and 2l9s. The earliest date on
which Easter can fall is March %. and
this only IN case the moon is full on
March p, when this date happens to
fall on Saturday. This combination of
circumstances is extremely rare; it oc-
Cured in 1893, 1901 and 1917. and viii
happen again in 1890. 2076 and PA.
while during the three following cen
turtles it is not once "on the books" at
this early date.
On the other hand, Easter never falls
later than April %; this was the case in
1865, 1874 and 1886, and will only hap
pen once in the next century, namely.
l943. The remarkable feature Of these
occurrences is the wide range OF dates
on which they are liable to take place.

the largest in holdings and strongest in
the country. Its latest acquisition is the
Georgia Central, which gives it a direct
line from tide water at Savannah to tide
water on the Gulf at New Orleans.
The Georgians are expecting great
things at the hands of this new magnate:
they claim that he has promised to ex-
tend and develop the railroad system Of
the state, which he now practically con-
trolls, until it shall be the most compre-
hensive and efficient of any in the south.
The career of the Inmans-there are
three of the brothers: John II. and
Hugh, who now reside in New York,
and Sam, who with their father resides
in Atlanta,-has been ne KIT to phenome-
nal. At the close of the war between
the states they had nothing, the boys all
having been in the military service Of
the Confederacy, and the father losing
everything he had by the results of the
war. At that time the family home was
in East Tennessee, but little later they
moved to Georgia and began operations
in small way in Atlanta They are
now largely interested in railroad, min
ing and manufacturing enterprises, all
acquired by their personal efforts,
backed by good judgment and indom-
liable energy.
The ambition of elder Inman, the first
named, is said'to be to control the trans
portation system of the entire southern
portion of the United States, extending
across the continent, and from the
progress he has made so far it is prob
able that he may succeed in large meas
ure. He seems to have the full conf
dence of the people of the country in
which he is operating, condition that
is of incalculable advantage to him in
the prosecution Of his plans and schemes.
