COW ThIevea MasInr rhreats.

II looks very much as though a test
OF strength was challenged by the COW
thieves. Not only have they been
threatening seceders from their ranks.
but a nnmber OF the prominent cattle
men OF the country. members Of the
association, have been warned by
their friends that the rusilers have
sworn TO Kill them. Some months since
Judge Parker eomplimented the cattle
men aud himself. on the fact that they
had never taken the law into their
own hands in his Jurisdiction and
wreaked summary vengeance on the
despoilers Of their herds. Consistency
would suggest that he step in now,
promptly, aud take haud In this
matter aud run these men on the face
OF the earth, II necessary, TO protect
the llves Of those who have fallen un-
der the ban Of these outlaws.

]. II. Adm Interviewed.


On his recent visit 10 Fort Worth
Mr.. Akin was interviewed by Gazette
reporter az 10 what shape the question
OF the allotment Of lands was assum.
ing. and what the prospects were for
statehood, etc. lie said: $50 far az
the Cherokees are concerned, they do
not favor allotment aud statehood az
body polite. though many
OF the most progressive citizens OF the
nation now advocate the change. From
the observation have taken Of the
situation, do not believe there is but
one way ofsolving theimportant ques-
tion Of statehood for the Indian Ter
ritory, and that is TO give the Indian
the right to sue IN TIC United States
courts for partition of property. The
FIVE civilized tribes, consisting Of the
Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chicka.
saws and Seminolee, own their lands
by fee simple titles issued by the Unit
ed States government. and Uncle Sam
cannot well afford to break these iron
clad treaties by debating how the In
dams shall hold their lands. Their
present system Of holding their lands
in common is very popular among all
these tribes, and If left to a vote allot.
ment and statehood would certainly be
defeated. But just as soon as the dis
satisfied members begin to ask for
their individual share Of the land, and
are granted the same by the United
States courts, then there will be a
grsne stampede by n. and the ques-
ton Of allotment and statehood will
be speedily solved by themselves.

shows that almost 50 per cent. of the

The result is that while other banks

Gus well-nIled baskets, would have

The citizenship question was also a
favorite topic, and the candidates ex.

INAlfIirUs ~ Vs. ~ NAp - AN'e'
Dear Sir,-In o recent Sunday isaue OF
the DlsrAT II noticed yOu stated that Mr.
Lincoln did not make sn offer to purchase
the slaves OF the South.
In Holiness Now History Of the United
States, page 239, paragraph y, you VII
find AZ follows: during the same ANXIOUS
period (SeDtember 70, 1882 be (Ldncoin)
sought 10 distract the South by proposing
the emancipation Of the slaves with q pay
ment OF an arbitrary price Tor them; ~
have heard 1t stated that the price MT.
Lincoln did propose or would have pro,
posed was 800, including both male ana
female aud all ages.
Very truly, yours. w. b. KESDnrcK.
If Mr.. Lincoln ever made IAN offer to
purchase the slaves of the South +" we can
find no record Of it. The farthest that be
ever went so far as we ever heard was at
the Hampton-Roads conference, when he
said (as reported by the Hon. Alexander
II. Stephens:
Lincoln went on 80 say that he would
be willing 10 be taxed TO romunerate the
| southern people tor their slaves. He be-
lIsved the people Of the North were as re-
sponsiDie for slavery as the people OF the
South. and if the war should then cease,
with the voluntary abolition Of slavery by
the States. be should be IN favor, IN IL
vidually, Of the government paying lar
indemnity for the loss To the owners. lie
said he believed this feeling bad an extern
eiye existence at the North. lie knew
some who were in favor Of an appropria-
ton as high a. 800 900. 900 for this purpose.
] could mention persons, said he, whose
names would astonish you, who are Wiling
TO do this If the war shall now cease
without further expense and with me
abolition of slavery As stated. But on this
subject he said he could give no as'ur-
ance-entcr into no stipulation. lie bare
" expressed his own feelings and views,
and what he believed TO be the views OF
Others upon the subject.
General Bradley 4. Johnson has related
to os his recollection OF conversation
which be had with Mr.. Stephens soon after
the conference closed. Mr. Stephens said
to the General
At length when they got down to work
Mr.. Lincoln pushed blank sheet OF paper
across the table TO Dir. Stephens aud sald ::
Make the first condition for peace tho
restoration Of the Oniou-and the second
the abolition Of slavery, and Won may write
any other terms you please-iull indemul-
fcatiOn for losses by the war, destruction
OF property. and loss of slaves.
THINK he mentioned some given sum TO
be paid for the slaves. but certainly he
fixed $500 apiece rs Just compensation,
and, said Lincoln " You would be sur
prised 20 know who will support SUCH q
settlement Mr.. Greeley and the great
body of tho Abolitionists will do So" Tho
Confederate commissioners were under
instruction TO insist on acknowledgment
of the independence of the Contederacy
as a sine qua non, and therefore the nego-
tiation broke up.
IrDirSs this can be construed into an
"offer" to purchase. we know of no offer
that was ever made to Mr. Lincoln to pur-
chase orr slaves.

The Worlds Fair at Chicago.
[Staunton Nlndlcaior. /

We think ii was Drinkard. of TIE RICH
MoND DISPATCH, who once wrote that of all
the metropolitan press of the country that
OF New York city WAS the most provincial.
IL was a saying worthy of accsptation.
for we doubt if there is q press anywhere
in the United States that can see so little
outside of Its own city as that published
In New YORK, From the moment Chicago
got the fair the New York press began to
deplors it a. a coming failure aud TO cover
1t with ridicule. Even now il publishes
everything likely to dull the interest of
the people IN this great American enter
prise. This has undoubtedly had its ef-
feet, for while the New York papers ara
not read very widely outside of their place
OF publication. great many papers in the
country take their cue from them. The
fact is that never in the history of
the world has there been such q mag
nlfcsnt display. either as regards
buildings, attractions. or exhibits. 1t
IS far ahead of any exposition yet
I'D in Europe and is so conceded by
the foreign correspondents who have coma
to this country TO write 1t up. In tho
matter OF attendance il shows the same
pre-emInence. The daily number of visit
ors IS. now averaging over 10000. For
the week which endsd June 18th
the attendance was 72s.7e6. persons,
day 100000 persons. And this with
the fair Just openrdl During May, 1876.
the average attendance at she Centen-
NAL Exposition in Philadelphia was 10, 945
per day; at Chicago during May, 1898. 10
was $1,000. To take the Philadelphia Ex-
position as guide, the days for the great
crowds have not come yet. In August at
Philadelphia the attendance was 80 per
cent. greater than in june and July, and
IN October the attendance was three times
greater than in June and July. Take these
figures asa criterion and Chicago is to be
not only the greatest success as an sxhihi-
ton, but also the greatest as gathering
OF the people.

CEYLON GEM PEODLERS.
How tho Ciagalese Tramping Jeweller
Goes Around with His TreRsures

I was sitting one afternoon on the beau
tiful wide veranda of the Gale Face
Hotel, Columbo, in Ceylon. 1t was one Of
those perfect days ia which TO dream with
your eyes wide open. | was laZlly watch
ing the miniature squirrels run up an d
down the cocoanut palms, while an auda-
cIous blackbird coolly perohed on the ar N
of my cspaciOus chair, and with head
cooked TO one side regarded me with more
or less disapproyal, says Dondhue's Adgd-
E,nP.
The roar of the breakers pounding upon
the beach made pleasant music, and in
the translucent emerald brine some laugh
ing natives were splashing merrily. A
light hand touched my shoulder and q
barefooted Clngalese stood before mo.
"Would you like 20 buy some stones 2"
he asked, in his pleasant voice.
These peddlers OF gems are very nume-
rous in Ceylon and threaten TO become a
nuisance to the traveller. They ara not
allowed to enter the hotels, and / once
saw one of them actually beaten out of
the Oriental in CoIumbo. Hence it was
that before addressing me my Cingalsse
friend glanced furtively up and down the
long verandA to see that he was ulob-
served by the minions of the hotel.
He took from beneath his bJouss a bum
die of white cloth. which he opened. dis
playing about pint of rubios, carbuncles,
moonstones, and caPs-eyes. As / had
nothing to do | looked through them
after explaining TO the sable merchant
that had no intention of buying. The
collection must have been worth many
thousands of dollars Judging by individual
specimens. but apart from his merchan-
disc the barefooted yendsr, costume and
al, might have been assessed at about five
shillings.
