Ksop, in one of his immortal fa-
bles, tells of a lion on whom all
the birds and beasts had avenged
themselves with Impunily, still his
lionship remained unrufIied. But
by and by the ass came along and
threw his heels into the lions
face, following the example Of the
others, whereupon the old lion
uttered these words "Alasl how
grievous il is to suffer insults, even
froln the brave and valiant; but to
be attacked by go base a creature
as this, who is a disgrace TO nature,
is unbearable." This doesn't en-.
tirsly express THE cHnEFrAsx's
feelings in the matter but comes
nearer than anything else that
suggests itself at present. This
may be a little severe, but then,
the "big Id'' Advocate hit the

NOT FAIRLY STATED

Elsewhere in this paper appears
an editorial clipping from the
Globe Democrat of the 18th inst
in which the tribal relation of In.
dians is considered at some length.
While the position of Senator
Dawes is far from being correct.
the Globe Democrats editorial
comment is also incorrect. 1t is
asked that the tribal relations be
abolished for the purpose of de-
stroying the authority of the chiefs.
Now who are the chiefs, that their
authority must be destroyed? The
chiefs of the five tribes are men oc.
cupying similar positions to those
OF the governors of the states.
They have no authority save that
winch the Office confers. They
are elected by the popular vote of
the people, and have no authority
that is absolute or in any way to
be feared. The 1--WE tribes should
no longer be called tribes. but in.
telligent, progressive American
citizens rather. When Senator
Dawes speaks of 250,0OO Indians
being turned lose upon the prairies
he leaves the impression upon the
casual reader that the Indian was
under guard or was in some sense
deprived of his liberty. Just how
well satisfied the Indian is with
his surroundings is illustrated by
Senator Bells retort to the Chero.
kee commission two years ago
when that body first visited Table
quah with a view to buying the
Outlet. AT meeting OF the two
commissions, during the long and
tiresome negotiations, Col. Wilson
said to the Cherokees, "What do
you want?' Bells reply was,
1--WE want to be let alone" 1t is
unfair to assume that the United
States is protecting and support
ing the Indians, and to be let alone
is a consummatiOn devoutly to be
wished OF the five tribes, prob
ably not over five per cent. are the
kind Of Indians 10 which Mr..
Dawes refers. The blanket In.
dians will soon be like the Amer

that the Indiau is learning to wear
clothes aud take care of himself.
socially, politically and financially
1t is too common for United States
senators to declare that the gov
ernment is supporting the Indians,
when the truth is that the govern
ment is only paying the Indians
what they justly owe them. Con-
gress frequently refuses TO make
appropriations Tor Indian tribes, u
though twas gift. The Indian
desires all the rights, privileges
and immunities he can possibly
get, and in addition to this, to be
let alone.

INDIAN TRIBAL RELATIONS.


Globe Demoerat
Senator Dawes expresses the
view that no more general legisla-
tion is needed recording the statues
Of the Indian, but that the presant
laws can be depended upon to solve
the problem in the due course of
time. He is particularly hostile TO
the idea of abolishing the tribal
relations. II would never do, he de-
clares, TO throw $50. 600 Indians out
of their present relations; sit
would simply be turning a flock
of sheep loose on the prairie with
no one 20 care for them" The
Senator's comparison is not a good
one. He presents the case in an
uncandid way, and conveys a
wrong impression OF the policy
that he opposes. Nobody pro-
poses to turn the Indians loose
like sheep on the prairie. II is
only asked that their tribal rela-
tions be abolished for the purpose
Of destroying the authority of the
chiefs and promoting feeling OF
loyalty to the government. Under
present conditions all of the old
Indian customs and superslitions
are preserved, and the chiefs make
it point to encourage the spirit
OF inherited emnity toward the
white race. The process Of civil.
zation IL mocked Rnd hindered by
the presence Of alien and sinister
forces that should not be allowed
to exist, Tribal sovereignty is the

LONDON, Sept. 30.-The Cunard
steamship line, having grown tired Of
maintaining the emigrants from Ham
burg who had bought tickets by way
of that line at boarding houses in Liv-
efpool, and seeing no early prospect of
being able to dispose Of them by trans
portation to America, offered to return
to the 'emigrants the amount Of their
fares. The majority of the emigrants
refused to accept the offer. and insist
ed on being conveyed to the United
States. The company then notified
the keepers of the boarding houses in
which the emigrants had been main
tanned that the company would no
longer be responsible for their support.
Thereupon the landlords turned the
emigrants out of doors. The emigrants
applied to the authorities. but the lat

the Columbian series Of postage stamps,
to be furnished by the American Bank
Note Company, of New York, under a
contract signed yesterday. The de-
nominations of all the series have not
yet been fully determined upon, but
they will embrace all of the present
series, and probably some others. The
new stamps will be of the same height
as the present series, but twice as long,
the increased size being thought neces-
sary in order to properly display the
Illustrations. These are intended 70
commemorate the discovery Of Amerl-
ca by Columbus, and several of the
illustrations have already been decid-
ed upon. These are the Discovery

that the entire series will be put ON

the net revenue to the government
