IMPORTANT CONTRACT.

P. I'll. Carney has just returned from
Minneapolis, where he succeeded in
securing the contract for furnishing
all Of the cement to be used in tie
municipal work of that city. 1t is
problematical how much will be re.
Quired, but it is estimated at from
10000 to 40, 0O0 barrels. Mr. Carney
thinks this will be good year for the
sale of MankatO cement, if congress
will settle the tariff bill, so that mu-
inequalities will know "where they
are at" He has adviceS that the
company will soon be able to settle all
outstanding debts.
Mankato Cement is frst-class in
every respect and its genuine merit is
now fully recognized all over the
northwest.

sequence, still dutiable, thus not only
failing to present a consistent system
OF revenue reform, but leaving some
of our most valuable industries at a
great disadvantage as compared with
their rivals differently located. There
are other defects consisting of ambig-
uous phraseology in some Of the para
graphs, and excessive rates of duty in
some of the schedules, correction Of
which would be in harmony with
policy of progressive reform upon a
basis of equal justice to producers and
consumers, and would not affect the

Lawlessness in Indian Territory.

The reign of lawlessness in Indian
Territory, which has caused the In
terror Department of the United
States Government to urge an imme-
date extension Of judicial rule over
that region and its reorganization, if
possible, recalls the carnival of crime
that used to prevail in that equally
queer realm of No Mans Land, be-
yond the Cherokee Strip. Owing to
the piecemeal establishment of boun-
Diary lines this tract of land, three
degrees in length from east to west
and one-half of degree from north
to south, was, curiously enough, omit
ted from all territorial organizations.
For nearly two-score years No Mans
Land was every mans land it was a
country without law or order. 1t be-
came rendezvous and asylum for the
worst criminals; for these fugitives
were free from arrest. Crime held
high carnival, and yet no attempt was
ever made to punish a criminal until
the famous Haymeadows massacre.
The trial of those six murderers cost
the Federal Government nearly $2oo,-
900, and the men escaped by a sub
sequent reversal of the death verdict.
Nc Mans Land was then speedily
annexed to Oklahoma, and that exam
pie is the proper precedent for Con-
gress in regard to the Indian Territory
problem. .-Reeord.

Congress having taken the usual
holiday adjournment, it has been in
timated that many of them will be
obliged to go home to crow instead Of
turkey; but that is nothing more nor
less than unadulterated sarcasm. The
modern statesman can sit down to
crow with considerable grace, so long
as his eating it don't sour his consti-
tuents against him, or defeat him.
There is worse fare than political
crow and the modern statesman knows
all about that bird.
