Col. 8. w. Peel returned from
Tahlequah last week. He is well
satisfied with the outcome of the
negotiations for the purchase OF
the strip. He feels that it is the
crowning act Of his lsbors in Con-
gress. No man has been more
successful in accomplishing his
objects on the floor of the house
than Col. Peel, and if he had had
the disposition to advertise him.
self that some men have the whole
country would have been aware
of it. But he has been content
to work, and let the work speak
for itself. Recognition in the
full measure, will come. His
work contains the final ISOLATION
of the Indian question that has
puzzled statesmen for q hundred
years aud more. Statehood for
the FIVE civilized tribes is in the
near future, and American citizen
ship for all others is a dream soon
to be realized. Who will say
that this is not great work.

End to The Farewell Business.

A. story comes from Dublin of
q man who had poor. sickly,
cranky bit of a wife, who regular.
ly every week got up in the night
aud invited the family to see her
die.
She gave away her things,
spoke her last words, made her
peace with Heaven, and then,
about 8 o'clock in the morning,
got up in the usual way and dis
appointed everybody by going to
her household duties as if nothing
had happened.
The man became sick of it finally
and purchased a coffin, real nice
cashmere shroud and q wreath OF
immortelles with Farewell, Mary
Ann," worked in and q handful O1
silver-plated screws.
Laying the screw driver beside
the screws he invited her to hol-
Ter die once more.
'.Do it," said he, ''and in you 60
and this farewell business is over.'
Mary Ann is at this moment

miring family while they keep
their dried apples in the coffin NJ

Story Of His Life.

Before q colored school audi
ence at Easton, Md, recently Fred
Douglass told the story of his
life:
II once knew q little cOlored
boy whose mother and father died
when he was but six years old.
He was slave and hsd no one to
care for him. He slept on dirt
floor in a hovel, and in cold wealth
er would crawl into meal bag
head foremost and leave his feet
in the ashes to keep them warm.
Often he would roast q year of
corn and eat it to satisfy his hun.
ger, and many times he has
crawled under the barn or stable
and secured eggs, which he
would roast in the fire and eat.
s'That boy did not wear pants
like you do, but tow linen shirt.
Schools were unknown to him and
he learned to spell from an old
Webster's spelling book and to
read aud write from posters on
cellar and barn doors, while boys
and men would help him. lie
would then preach aud speak, and
soon became well known. He be-
came Presidential Elector, United
States Marshal, United States
Recorder, diplomat, and accumu-
lated some wealth. He wore
broadcloth and did not have to
divide crumbs with the dogs un.
der the table. That boy was Fred
erick Douglass.
"What was possible for me is
possible for you. Don't think be-
cause you are colored you can't
accomplish anything. Strive
earnestly to add to your knowl-
edge. So long as you remain in
ignorance, SO long will voa fail to
command the respect of your fel-
low-ipen.'

Cold Hard Facts.

Press Eagle: The agricultural
classes of the South are becoming
more impoverished every year.
" While many causes may contrib
ute to this, there can be no denial
of the fact that the chief cause IS
the failure of the Southern plant.
ers to raise their meats aud bread.
stuffs at home. They have for
years been raising all cotton and
little or no corn, and as a conse-
quence the production OF cotton
now far exceeds the demand, and
the price is forced to a point
where it cannot be raised at a
profit. As the farmer is forced
to pay large profits on everything
he buys he must have reason
able profit on his crops, over and
above the cost of production, or
bankruptcy will be the inevitable
result.
Senator George, Of the commit
tee appointed to investigate and
report upon the agricultural inter-
ests of the South, has just COM
pleted his investigations, and in
an address issued to the planters
of the South last week, sums up
the situation in the following terse
and truthful language:
s'The prospect of another large
crop, coming from the increased
acreage, if that should happen,
would not only be an effectual
bar to any rise in the price, but
would cause a further decline. So,
that now the cotton raisers in the
South are confronted with this
serious question for solution
Shall we, by increased acreage in
the crop now being planted, as
compared to the acreage of that Of
last year, raise crop of nine or
ten million bales, and thereby glut
the market of the world, causing
a fall to the low price of 1892
and perhaps even lower, or will
we, by reducing the acreage to
the extent necessary to raise all
our food and forage crops and
work animals-especially our
meat, corn, horses and mules
increase the price of our cotton
crop and at the same time dimin-
ish the use of the proceeds of the
crop by large reduction in the
amount heretofore required to
buy necessary supplies'
soNLY ONE ANSWER.
"There can be but one answer
to this question in the minds of
thoughtful men. If it be said
among so numerous q class as
cotton raisers, it will be impossi-
BILE to get AN agreement which
will result in a combined action
to plant a reduced acreage in cot
ton; and if this be conceded, then
the situation appeals with still
stronger force to each individual
farmer to decrease his own crop
to the extent needful to raise his
supplies, for in case there shall
not be such a decrease in acreage
as to affect materially the price so
that the next crop is to be a low
priced one, the advantage to him
who wisely raised his own sup
plies will be clear and manifest.
He will not have to buy high
priced supplies with the scant
proceeds of low priced cotton.
These proceeds will then he in
the main a surplus or nearly so.
