about given up the fight. But the
salvation Of the Cherokee people
at last lies in the practical dealing
with we'll understood facts. The
intelligence and respectability Of
this country must come TO the front
and take control, and not sit back
and be controlled by an unpfinci-
pied minority. We are passing
through pe-ilous times and the
personal interests of every one are
at stake. Relief can only come
through ignoring, to some extent,
party lines and the association Of
all who have the welfare of the
country at heart in one grand move
ment for the overthrow OF the
scheming plunderers who have
undertaken TO run things to suit
themselves and care not what be-
comes of the country.

Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat
A Bushel for Every Inhabitant
of the United States. The
Kansas Crop of 90.

Never in the history of Kansas
has that state had such bountiful
crops as this year. The farmers
cannot get enough hands to harvest
the great crop, and the Santa Fe
railroad has made special rates
from Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, river towns, to induce har-
vest hands to 60 into the state.
The wheat crop of the state will be
from sixty to sixty-hve million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is a
very large enc; the early potatoes,
rye, barley, and oat crops are made
and are all large. The weather has
been propitious for corn, and it is
the cleanest, best looking corn to be
found in the country to-day.
Cheap rates will be made from Chi.
cago, st. Louis, and all points on
the Santa Fe east of the Missouri
river, to all Kansas points, on Aug
ust 30 and September 27, and these
excursions will give chance for
eastern farmers to see what the
great sunflower state can do.
A good map of Kansas will be
mailed free upon application to
Jno. J. Byrne. 723 Monadnock
Block, Chicago, ILL.,, together with
reliable statistics and information
about Kansas lands.

A DUTY TO OUR COUNTRY.

Last week the two leading poIit-
ical parties of the Cherokee ma
tion h eld their annual conventions
(not nominating conventions) and it
is remarkable fact that the mass
es of thc Cherokee people took no
notice whatever of the gatherings.
Now why such apathy2 1t is
well known that one or the other
o. these political parties will con-
troll and dictate the course OF this
government. 1t is also a wei l.
known fact that while the country
is run by political tricksters and
party bosses we are quite as we'll
of in tho hands Of one political
party as another and this we be-
lieve to be the conclusion of a very
large majority of the citizens Of
the Cherokee nation. We have
been controlled, largely, by un.
scrupulous demagogues, for years
and this class of professional poll
ticians are as numerous in one par
by as the other. Further, the ma
jority of the people know it, but it
is a singular fact that the people
will talk Indignantly about the pre-.
yailing abuses in governmental af-
fairs and yet take no steps to right
them. There is prob ably no ques-
tion but what respectable, honest,
and capable citizens, are in a very
large majority, in this country, and
the reason they do not dictate the
course Of this government is simp-
~ because they do not exercise the
power they possess. Too much
is left TO the professional politician
and hence We are at the mercy of
these semi-criminal bosses that in
fest all countries and who have en-
tangled the Cherokee nation in a
web out Of whose meshes we can
hardly expect to escape whole.
Men are frequently given positions
of trust and responsibility simply
because they are bright and have
the educational qualifications,

are entirely unscrupulous. and have

A very complete, and doubtless
eye-opening diamond exhibit will
be made by Cape Colony, South
Africa. The exhibit will include
10000 carats of uncut stones,
a large quantity of very fine cut
and polished ones, together with
all that is necessary to show the
process of mining and washing.
For this il will be necessary to
transport to Chicago 100 tons of
pulverized blue earth, 80 tons Of
unpulverized earth and a complete
washing machine, which will be
operated by natives. The EXHIBIT
will also include unique collec-
ton of crocidolite, special diamond
iferous products, ostrich feathers,
fleeces, etc. 1t is reported that n
Bushman and Hottentot in native
dress will accompany the exhibit.

PHILLIPS EMPLOYMENT.

The Downing party had about as
much to do in employing Col.
Philips as attorney for the Chero-
KEGS the last congress as it had at
any other time. The national
party seems to be very well satis-
fed with the situation, anyway.
However, if the delegation ex-
poets to pose before the country as
Downing men any longer some sort
of an explanation should be forth
coming. AS it now stands it places
the whole Downing party in a po-
sition that is inconsistent to say the
least. If it be true, as every stump
orator in the whole Downing ranks
declared, that Col. Phillips was
dishonest, then how are they to
explain to the waiting people their
reasons for again employing him ?
The Downing party will have an
explanation. The matter will
never be allowed TO go by default,
If Col. Phillips is a proper man
for the position of attorney for the
Cherokees, then Mr.. Boudinot
very grossly misrepresented him
here on the stump last summer.
But it is a fact known from one
end of this nation to the other that
the Downing party does not in
dorse Phillips, and that the action
of the delegation in this matter
will not be approved by the party
that sent them to Washignton.

Col. r. L. OWEN still maintains
his position that the Cherokees
can allot the Strip. Senator Nor
gan, who is a lawyer, shares the
same opinion. But would an
allotment provide any ''pie" for
Jordon's seventy? They are the
people"-in their own estimation.

THE unanimity with which the
leading men of this nation are ex-
pressing their views on the subject
of change in the land tenure is
suggestive. The argument in favor
of land in severalty is being piled
up higher and higher.

stop the delivery Of ice on Sundays special
service was held Sunday night at the Gen.

Dr. Pitzer, preached strong sermon in be-
half Of SUNDAY Rest for Every Man." The
icemen were out in force and were seated in a
body in the center Of the church. They
listened with eager interest to the sermon, and
some Of them joined heartily in the singing.
The pastor for himself and his congregation
pledged all possible aid and support In the at
tempt of the icemen to secure for themselves
the right to rest on Sundays. The regular
congregation and their visitors seemed TO be
mutually pleased with the meeting.

THE BELT LINE RAILROAD.
What the Commissioners Say About II
Proposed Extension.

Respecting Senate bill 2s52. ITO change the
name Of the Capitol, North Street and South
Washington Railway Company and for othe,
purposes" the Commissioners say there is no
objection to the proposed change in the name.
As to the proposed extension Of the road along
Pand Q streets the Commissioners say that, in
reply TO request made early during the pres
ent session for their views upon H. R. 276s,
ITO incorporate the oross-town railroad Of the
District Of Columbia" they stated that the
closing BY way of p street OF the gap between
the present road Of the Belt line on 18th street
and the Metropolitan line at Dupont Circle
would, in their Judgment. be the best way to
give needed cross-town facilities in that sec
ton, and that they are still Of that opinion.
Before making that report tho Commissioners,
after due advertisement, gave q public hear
ing on the subject. which was largely attended,
especially by owners Of property along and
Q streets, who almost unanimously opposed
railroad tracks. The Commissioners also gave
hearing on this bill at which q like aversion
was shown by the owners and residents along
those streets. As none appeared e1-
cept those who represented the road,
and those who were interested in property
on the streets along which the extension 10
proposed, the Commissioners learned nothing
as to the extent of the popular desire for such
additional cross-town facilities, but are COM
PEELED to infor from the lack Of interest indi-
Gated by such noD-appearance that the absence
OF those facilities causes no considerable public
Inconvenience.
Hearing by the Commissioners on the
Proposed Extension.
The Commissioners yesterday had hearing
upon Senate bill 2S52, ITO change the name
Of the Capitol. North o Street and South
Washington Railway Company and for
other purposes" The bill proposes to
change the name of the company to
Tho Belt Railway Company" and to make a
loop line commencing at 18th and o streets;
thence west along o to 10th; thence to Dupont
Circle, aud thence east along p street to point
of beginning.

converts the property on its line into business
property and destroys its value as residence

are now In contemplation will not be begun il
the project contemplated by this bill should
not be promptly discouraged.
The bill is in the line Of suggestion made
some months ago by the Commissioners that

crosstown accommodations to the people in the
