Senator Berry stands closer 20
the people Of Arkansas than any
Senator who has ever representa-
them in the halls of congress. No
citizen ever appealed to him in
vain. He is the most approacha-
BILE of men. He is q model of in.
dustry and watchfulness In the
discharge of his duties. He is
painstaking and faithful and un.
tirlng in his efforts to forward the
interests of the least Of his con.
stituents. He is man of force
and influence with his fellow Sena.
tors and with the administration
and has done as much for the true
interests of his State as any citi.
zen within her borders. He is the
beneficiary of no Fictitious scheme
OF dcmagogical advertising. He
makes no grand stand plays for
the purpose of winning the plaud-
its OF the minimizing masses. SEN
ator Berry is man; q true man !;
an honorable, upright and cour.
ageous man. The man does not
exist who would dare accuse him
OF cowardice, or double dealing,
or lack of fealty to his friends and
his State. Before the war and all
through that frightful era when
the souls of men were tried as thew
were never tried before and when
self seeking demagogues were
making history as turn coats
and renegades, J. II. Berry was
true 10 himself, his people and his
State. No man who has yet EN-.
tered the lists against him for the
Office of Senator begins to APP
proach him in any of the quail.

UscoGEE. l. r., Feb. 23.-The
Dawes commission to-day, in COM
pliance with the desire OF the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws, made them
a definite proposition for a change
Of government. They propose to
treat with the Choctaws on these
general lines, subject to such
modification as after conference
shall be deemed wise by both
parties.
First: To allot all lands not coal
or mineral lands and not town sites
equally among citizens of the ChOc-
taw nation, 100 acres to be made
inalienable.
Second: All coal and mineral
lands and townsites to be made
the subject of special agree ment
between the parties, such as will
secure from the nation to those
who have invested in them just
protection and an adjustment of
their respective interests and
rights therein.
Third: 70 change from tribal
10 a territorial form ofgovernment,
the nation still retaining IN it's new
form of government all rights in
and control over tribal funds and
other property With which it now
is endowed, and an elective fran
chise to be confined during the
existence of the Territorial gov
eminent to those who are citizens
of the nation at the time of it's
adoption and their defendants,
and to those only whom they may
chose to admit as such.
Fourth: The commission are au-
tholized to treat with each tribe
separately as we'll rs with all to-
gether. The Choctaws made their
protest and went home. Other
tribes in the council are expected
to furnish their resolutions and
adjourn soon.
CHEcoTAH, l. t., Feb. 23.-The
international council, representing
the whole five civilized tribes, this
evening adopted set of resolu-
tons declaring they believed that
statehood would prove detrimen-
tai to their interests and declining
to deal with the Dawes commits
sion. The council then adjourn
ed sine die.

Mr.. Robert f. Barker, of Man.
chester, England, who is an expert
manufacturer of cotton goods,
cloths and yarns, has recently
made tour of the United States,
and expresses the belief that the
South will ultimately outstrip the
North in the spinning offine yarns.
He regards the southern climate
as especially adapted to the work,
and to the comfort of a milling
population. To reporter in
Charleston. s. c., he said: 1.-THE
cotton is grown right at your
door and may be placed upon your
machinery at minimum cost. The
operatives would at first be i'm
ported, but then what more do
yOu desire than such immigrants I
1t would not be u man or a woman
from here, yonder and everywhere;
it would be whole families who
came to be permanent settlers, aud
for every member of which the
mill would provide remuneratlve
employment" Mr.. Barker ex.
pressed the opinion that steam
power is preferable to water power
in the manufacture of fine yarns.
Perhaps electricity may ultimately
prove better than either.-Albany
