the state legislature will full au-
thority to regulate its own internal
affairs in all that does not consti-
tute felony. 1t should grant to
such cities the authority to license
or prohibit drinking and gambling
saloons, sporting houses, and in ev-
cry way assume the regulation and
control of the city in relation to
such matters. The people Of the
city are the best judges of what
they really deem best for their in

not be left to the decision of state
legislatures that do not have the

THE CHEROKEES.
Their Status as q Nation Defined by Judge
Cox.

Their Status as q Nation Defined by Judge
Cox.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The status
of the Cherokee nation as party to
litigation was defined in an opinion
rendered by Judge Cox, of the district
equity court, on a motion to dissolve a
temporary injunction granted to Ed
win d. Chadick, of New York, restrain
ing the agents of the nation from sell
ing to r. T. Wilson & Co., of New
York sc, $40, 900 of bonds that had been
previously contracted for by Chadick.
The court held that it had no jurisdic-
ton over the nation.
The delivery of the opinion occupied
an hour. A large number of decisions
defining the lawful rights of the Cher
okee nation were cited and also the
constitutional provision granting con-
gress the power to regulate commerce
and make treaties with foreign nations
and the Indian tribes The treaties
made with the Cherosees were then
quoted as recognizing their existence
as a nation.
The Cherokees, said the court, re-
tanned their own political organization
as sovereign nation with the eXcep-
ton of the power of congress to allow
railroads the right of way over their
lands, and certain restrictive laws of
congress The nation, it was held,
was not amenable to suit by private
parties

COMING LEGISLATION.

The Condition of National Finances VIII
Probably Prevent Any Increased Pension

WASHINGTON, March 6-There are
other things talked of in Washington
than the coming tariff bill The dis
cussion of the pension appropriation
bill in the house for the past two days
and the continuances of this discussion
for at least two of the congressional
DAYS to come. is interesting as the
treatment of political topic second to
none except the tariff question. After
the pension appropriation comes the
District of Columbia bill, and, follow
ing that, the sundry civil bill

which is discussed along with talk
about the pension appropriations.
nothing definite is known. There are
as many pension enthusiasts on the
democratic side as on the republican
But the condition of national finances
will probably prevent any increased
pension provision during this congress
Certainly no widespread pension
granting law, such as service bill, will
be passed Representative Martin, OF
Indiana, the democratic chairman OF
the house committee on invalid PEN
sions, speaking of general pension leg
islation, said:
Our committee has only reported one bill,
and that is the bill which passed the senate
unanimously to repeal the clause in an appro.
priation bill which cuts on the pensions paid to
non-residents OF this country The law ought
to be repealed, as it does great deal OF in

myself in the service pension bill You
remember that I offered bill OF that
nature as An amendment to the Morrill, bill.
and it was voted down There seems to be
general impress lion that it will prove to be an
enormous expense to the govern ent, and
am making a thorough Investigate OF this
phase of the question My own opinion is,
from figures have thus far been able to OBJ
tain that service pension bill would not be
nearly as costly as is generally imagined l
am making a thorough study OF the question.
and hope, if the matter ever comes up on the
floor, to be prepared to present some interest
ing facts and figures. believe that If 4 service
bill was pas sed it would solve the pension
problem for probably all years to come.
