washerwoman, and the message is deliv-
cred. But the girl persists, and is pres
emily admitted to the spectacle. There is
the monstrous head above the bathtub,
the upper part of the shriveled yellow
body, and the bony arms, like the arms of
a skeleton. Charlotte Corday and Jean
Paul Marat are face to face!
"Citizen Marat," says she, 81 come from
Caen and wish to speak with you" ''Sit
down, my child" says he; what are the
traitors doing down at Caen? And who
are the deputies from your country"
Charlotte names BarbarouX, Petion and
Louvet. The skeleton hand reaches out on
the right side of the tub to his writing
stool. He will note these names, and
'their heads shall fall in a fortnight" By
this movement his chest over the heart re-
wolves out of the water 1t is the hour of
fate. One spring and Charlotte is by his
side. One plunge, and her knife is in his
breast to the very hilt. 1t finds the ma
lignant heart, and the black blood spurts
into the water and over the tub. "a moi,
chere amier' "Ah me, my friend, help!'
But horrid death chokes his voice, and as
the washerwoman rushes in the dark soul
of Marat rushes out forever.
David, the artist, shall soon paint the
scene for posterity. The convention shall
rush together, and all Paris-subterranean
Paris-shall howl and groan. A decree
shall be passed by which the body, or dust,
of Mirabeau in the Pantheon shall make
room for the ashes of this Marat. Funeral
eulogies shall be spoken and poems written
and dramas enacted to perpetuate the
memory of the underground specter of the
Revolution. But Jean Paul shall hear it
no more. Whittier has he gone? Heaven
knows, but not the earth.
AS for Charlotte, the beautiful creature
is hailed to the tribunal. Witnesses are
called. "They are not needed!' cries she
in sublime indignation. at is that killed
Marat. 1 killed one man to save hun
dred thousand, villain to save innocents,
savage wild beast to give repose to my
country. was Republican before the
Revolution, and qleUer lDd1lted e1leTgy!'
She dresses herself beautifully for the
scaffold. So modest is she in her simple
girlhood that when the executioner re-
moves the scarf from her neck she bushes
crimson Oh! reader, what an age was
that hundred years ago! How the story
of it-of it's men, its women and its events
seems to us as q tale of fiction, the
shadowy rollings together and unfoldings
of phantasmagoria, streaked with blood,
bubbling like molten brass and kindled
with flames of fire!

took him from his editorial stool He had
learned that his journal was the real weap-
ON of power, and though he presently
changed the name to Journal of the French
Republic he never relinquished his throne.
He now came up, however, from the sub
terranean world-came up reeking; for he
had lived in cellars, and starved and suf-
fered and raved and cursed until horrid
diseases had seized him. His skin was con-
sumed with sort of scrofulous eczema
which burned like fire. His cuticle ever
afterward was shirt of Nessus, which he
must wear as one might wear blister of
sulphuric acid and fire.
Note well that Marat was never a parti-
SAN His general policy was to oppose
power in every form. He also croaked and
prophesied and caviled. He had in him
something of the gifts of Cassandra and
all of the malignity of Thersites. To quar-
rel was his breath and life. Strange that
such vindictive and malevolent soul
should be truthful! But it was so. At the
bottom Marat spoke the truth with his lips
and from the heart He believed absolute
ly the things which he said and published
He would join himself with nobody. He
fought the king, and he fought the Giron-
dists, and he fought Dumouriez, and he
fought everything and everybody which
seemed to him to be u relic of the ancient
order in France. Hard was the struggle
between him and the Girondists After the
execution of the king that powerful party
succeeded in arresting Marat, and he was
brought before the revolutionary tribunal,
but the trial ended in victory for the hate
full specter, and he went on as before, only
more furiously.
Marat, however, was not destined to go
much further in this world. The summer
of 1898 found him in desperate condition
from his diseases. He was withered almost
to skeleton, and the burning of his skin
could only be appeased by sitting for the
greater part of the time in bath of hot
water. But the energies of his ferocious
mind continued to storm and scintillate.
He had his lodgings in the Rue de PEcole
de Medicine, where, in a sort of garret,
he had fixed his bath tub and editorial
stool beside it, and where he was attended
by washerwoman. From this place he
wrote his editorials, making up proscrip-
tion lists while he sat in the bath, comput-
ing tables in which he thought that by
the killing of 270,0O0 additional victims the
reign of liberty and equality might be es-
tablished! Soothed by the hot water he
would reach out his withered hand and add
other names of the Girondists and their
abettors to the list of death.
Thus was the bathing goblin occupied
on the evening of the 18th of July, 1898
1t was on the eve of the fourth anniver-
sary of the storming of the Bastile. There
is rap at the door outside. The sweet
voice of woman is heard, evidently the
voice of a maiden, who says that she would
"do France a service" But Citizen Marat
is sick and cannot see her So he tells the

are located. But will they stay
there2 Oh no; they will never
stay anywhere long, while there
are any Indian lands not open for
settlement. They must be moving
on. Probably the next rush will
be "On to the Strip" When In
dian land is once open to the
boomer, after the first grand rush,
it loses all the attraction ii may
have had. The charm is gone. A
boomer would scorn the idea of
settling down upon land that had
not come fresh from some Indian
reservation. In other words, he
would not have a place that he did
not need a "gun" to protect. The
Kansas boomer has done more to
open Indian lands to white settle
ment than the whole United States
army.
The Indian problem that has
puzzled the intellects of statesmen
and philanthropists alike for CEN
turies, is fast beiog solved by the
Kansas boomer, but in a few fleet
ing years his occupation will be
gone. In another decade there
will be no Indian lands TO open,
judging from the present outlook
and then the government will
probably pension the surviving
boomers, and their memory will be
perpetuated in song and story
along with John Brown and Jenni-
son and Jim Lane, of early Kansas
fame. But there is one thing the
Indian race should be especially
proud of, and that is, there are nc
Indian boomers no Indian tribe
has ever produced a boomer. You
may call him a wild, untutored
savage" but not a boomer. He
may contend for his own rights as
he understands them, but he sell
dom, if ever, interferes with the
rights of others.

CITIZENSHIP MEETING.
Proceedings of the Meeting Held
At Alton.

The Cherokee Citizenship asso-
citation met at Alton last Monday,
about fifty strong. r. Chastain
was called to the chair and Rev.
n. J. Crawford to act as secretary.
After prayer, w. J. Watts was
calledfor and entered into a detailed
statement Of the workings of the
association, showing advantages
of membership, etc. Several new
members were enrolled.
A committee reported by read
ing memorial praying congress
to provide some means for settling
the vexed question of citizenship
and to allot the lands in severalty,
which was adopted. The meeting
then adjourned until Tuesday. On
reassembling the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Resolved, that the memorial
adopted by this association be
circulated throughout the nation
as soliciting the signatures of the
whole people as memorialists for
the end set forth in said memorial
and that immediate action be
taken to secure the signatures Of
the officials of the Delaware and
Shawnee tribes, also of the colored
population of the Cherokee nation.
Resolved, that the committee on
memorial be and they are hereby
constituted a committee to see
that at least 500 copies Of said
memorials are printed for circula-
ton among the people by such
agencies as will solicit signatures
to the same, calling in said printed
copies not later than the Goth day
of November, 1891, checking on
the treasurer for the necessary
money.
Whereas, from time to time
members of this association are
annoyed and often incur expense
from forced litigation,
Resolved, therefore, that it is
the sense of this association that
we should throw protection around
the membership thus suffering,
and that the treasurer be author
lied TO assist with any means in
his hands not otherwise appro-
priated, such victims of injustice,
and that as individual members we
will use of our personal means 10
prosecute those who unlawfully
attempt such injustice.
A resolution was also adopted
thanking the trustees for the use oi
the building occupied, requesting
publication Of proceedings and alsC
calling upon members to pay their
dues with promptness.

nnrrnR ALLorr.

It seems to be the universal
opinion that some law restricting
the Wholesale monopoly Of the
public domain will be enacted at
the next councils A prominent
member of that body was heard to
remark the other day that he would
introduce bill to allow no one to
fence more land than their pro rata
share would be If a division was
had. The question would natural
ly arise "what is pro rata share
of the land2" Some kind of cal
culation would have to be made in
order to know how much to allow
an individual to occupy. Now,
would it not be far better to go
further and settle the land ques-
ton, once for all, by sectionizing
and allotting. That would surely
put an end to monopoly. That
would restrict each individual to
his or her pro rata share. In our
opinion all restrictions and at
tempts to protect the public do
main will be almost futile and
afford only temporary relief at best.
This people have reached a point
in civilization where they no long
er need the fostering care of a
guardian. They no longer need to
be wards of the government. They
are OF age and no legal disabilities
are in the way of their taking
charge of their own affairs, and
it is worse than folly for a people
as far advanced as the Cherokees
to hold their lands in common.
The system of commonalty OF
lands was only intended for unciv-
ilized and nomadic tribes of In
dians and even then only as a tenn
porary arrangement to obtain until
they became acquainted with the
methods of civilization. None oi
the surrounding states can boast OF
better educated, better clothed
and better equipped people gener.
ally than the Cherokees are, and
it is easy to see the absurdity oI
clinging to the primitive way by
holding lands in common. But il
| it was ever the best way that time
has most assuredly passed. The
time has come when if we would
maintain our existence as a separ.
ate commonwealth, having special
privileges, such as controlling our
own land and governing ourselves,
we must individualize our land
title. The United States has about
decided that no Indian title held in
common, is good. That undoubt.
edly is the line of policy to be car.
ried OUT by the general government
and Judge Green's late decision is
in keeping with that line of policy.

THE CATTLE MARKET.

The cattle receipts at Kansas
City, st. Louis and Chicago this
week are falling off some, compared
with the previous, but they are
still too large to help the market
very materially. The daily aver
age at Chicago last week was 16, 900
head. Everything below strictly
fancy beeves sold at ruinous
prices. Taken altogether the cat
tie market has been unsatisfactory
this whole season for range cattle,
with little prospect of being better
any time soon. Some of our clos.
est calculators among the stock
men claim they will make very
little money this season.
