HAHGIEcS IN GEORGIA.

Georgia did fairly we'll in the hang
ing business last week. Allen
Bray was hung at LAGRANGE, in the
presence of 10000 people, for the
murder OF Mrs, Prather about three
months ago. Two other negroes
were executed in Calhoun county at
Morgan for riot. But the most SEN
satlonal case was that of William
Mccoy, colored, who was put to death
In Liberty county for the murder OF
a fellow darky. The night before
his execution he tried to burn out his
prison, and only succeeded in nearly
suffOcating himself. He had to call
for help to put out the fire. While
ne was an exception as to the usual
hearty breakfast, he went to the gal
lows with a steady step and dropped
the handkerchief as the signal for his
own death. He fell eight feet, and
as his body rebounded the rope broke
and he fell to the earth with his neck
badly cut by the rope and blood run,
ming from his mouth. He was help,
ed up and a runner sent for a new
rope While they were waiting he
received a letter from his brother as
to his goods, and dictated a reply.

ON TO THE STRIP.

The indian lands in the territory proper
having now been practically exhausted
by being thrown open to settlement, the
Cherokee strip comprises about all the
public land in any considerable body
that remains as public domain in the
central southwest This being the case
the pressure, the popular demand for the
opening OF the strip will he increased
every day from now on until the day of
its final opening. The truth of the mat
ter is it is little short of an outrage that
it has not been done long ago. Leaving
the past with its blunders and inconsist-
encies in the rear We now look to the
future.
The cartel agreed upon between the
United States commissioners and the
Indian claimants to the.strip was referr-
ed to the committee on Indian affairs by
congress on the 10Th of March. five
weeks ago, and so far as the public
know nothing has been done by the COM
mittee toward the preparation of bill
providing for the ratification of the
agreement with the Indians and the
opening of the land to settlement
Various reasons are assigned for the de-
lay on the part of the committee and
of congress to act on the important mat
ter, but the public have como to the
conclusion that it is one of two things
either the Democratic majority do not
intend TO conclude the settlement with
the Indians, under the idea of retrench-
ment in public expenditures, or the cat
tie barons are making their influence
felt in Washington. But whatever tine
excuse, the people of the west know
that there is absolutely no reason why
the Cherokee Strip should not be opened
without further delay except pure cuss-
edness on the part of congress or the
almighty dollar of the csttlemen.
There are hundreds and thousands of
good people who have been patiently
waiting for the strip to secure homes for
themselves and their families, who have
| not attempted to secure holdings in any
of the other lands that have been OPENED.
| for good and satisfactory reasons: thew
have witnessed the dalliance on the part
of the government and the special
privileges enjoyed by favored few in
the matter of occupying those fair lands,
hoping that the end of all this would
speedily come and they be given an
equal chance. They still hope this viii
now be done.
These people are loyal citizens and do
not indulge in idle threats, but they have
the right TO demand that their rights as
citizens shall be considered in this mat
ter and that further unnecessary delay
, be dispensed with.

NOW, LOOK HERE.

Sho71ld the new rates lately ordered by the

ratified by the courts, the Missouri river JOB
bers would establish depots at Salina, Hutch

be done as now-by the Missouri river towns.
Kansas City Star.
While that would probably be the case
the Missouri river jobbers, with their
warehouses, would hold no such advan-
tages over the resident jobbers at the
points named as are now held. The job
bers of Wichita, Hutchinson and Salina,
nor their retail patrons, are afraid OF Mis-
souri, warehouses so long as such ware
houses are given no undue advantage IN
rates. IT is discrimination that has been
slowly sapping the commercial life and
enterprise of interior Kansas jobbing
points. What the interior jobbers
protest against is traffic-rate which
would finally drive them to locate on
the distant Missouri river as the only
point from which they could profitably
and satisfactorily serve their patrons of
interior Kansas in a trade they have been
years in building up.
IN all the history of transportation
there never has arisen so unjust a dis
elimination as is asked to be enforced
and maintained by Kansas City, Missouri,
and by the neighboring points whose
freight rates that city fixes. They could,
and probably propose, to force all IN
interior Jobbers to abandon their
present locations, their homes and their
property and move to the Missouri river
or to otherwise go out of business, and
thereby compel their retail patrons to go
to the Missouri river for their future sup
plies, which would, in effect, in aug
menting the business Importance of
Kansas City, Mo-, and in very greatly in
creasing its taxable wealth, in the end
utterly destroy every important interior
Kansas town and all hope of a CONNER
cial and manufacturing future for the
great sunfower state.

SOUTHWEST KANSAS,

The EAGLE has found occasion several
times recently to remark the present
prosperous condition and t1attering pros
poets for the agricultural interests of
southwestern Kansas. Not week
passes but that the local papers in all
parts of the southwest give gratifying
assurances of prosperous times. present
and prospective. We take the following
excerp, from very intelligent discus
sion of the situation in Morton county
the extreme southwest corner of the
state-which we find in the Richfield
Monitor-Republican of last week, and
which is but fair reflex of that quarter
of the state. The Monltor-Republican
says:
sit may seem absurd to advocate
such a measure, at the present time, but
the day is not far distant, when the coy
ote counties will be checkered with rail-
roads and be as thickly populated as the
counties in the central and eastern por-
tions of the state. If you had told the
people of southwestern Kansas, twenty
years ago, that to day such city as
Wichita, with its packing houses, electric
lights and motor street cars would grace
the Arkansas valley, you would have
been considered crazy, and no doubt ad-
Judged so by the court, Their advan-
tages were no better than ours. Our
upland is as good as their river bottoms,
and produces better crops than grew
there, fifteen years ago. All we lack
now, is men of energy and means, to
take hold of our cheap lands, and help
build cities in the richest portion of the
sunf1ower state"

probably-certainly not defnitely--until
both factions are compelled to quit the

his cattle on public lands as the large

the same treatment. The only way to
settle such contests is to open the public
