OUR CIVILIZED INDIANS.
White Men Control Nine-Tenths of
the Land-A Bad Situation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. 1S94.-Senator
Jones of Arkansas, Chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Indian Affairs, ac-
companied by Senator Berry and two
or three members of the Arkansas dele
CATION in the House, recently went to
the Indian Territory and made an in
vestigation of the condition of af-
fairs among the Five Civilized Tribes,
independently of that made by the
Dawes Commission, which has just made
it's report public. They have returned
fully impresstd with the Importance of
immediate legislation looking to the per
manent abatement of the evils that exist
there, as the preparatory steps to bet
ter government of the Territory and a
more equitable distribution of the land
that the Federal Government is holding
in trust for it's wards, the Indians.
Senator Jones is convinced that ali
the lawiessness SO prevalent of late
in that country is due to the fact that
the tribal relations are sustained and
the title to the land held by the tribes,
the members being permitted to occupy
such land as they may find unoccupied,
This sort of thing inevitably resulted in
the white men who have married squaws
controlling nine-tenths of the land
and the full blood Indian being
subjected to condition bordering
on slavery; a re-establishment of some
thing akin to the old feudal system of
Engfiland. Mr. Jones will try to find a
remedy for this conditi onoafffiarands
remedy for this condition of affairs, and
will push a bill providing for the allot-
ment of the lands in severalty under
proper restrictions. This will give to
each member of the tribe the land
that rightfully belongs to him
and protect him in all his rights
| instead of permitting the strong to op-
press the weak and ignorant. The five
| civilized tribes are the Choctaws, Chicka-
saws, Cherokees, Seminoles and Creks.
but it is among the latter that the most
oppression and wrong doing in the shape
of the occupancy of land is
| found. Senator Jones, since his
return to the city, has had several con
| ferences with the Secretary. Of the In
| terror and has seen the President in re-
gard to this mater, and is of the opin-
| ion that the bill to distribute these lands
in severalty under the provisions of the
Dawes act will be speedily passed at the
coming session of Congress.
| A bill is now pending to ratify with
the Wichitas, Kiowas and Comanches
and Apaches to throw their lands open
to settlement. These reservations are in
| the southern part of Oklahoma and are
| very fertile. The conditions are here,
however, quite different from those
found among the five Civilized Triben.
The same may be said of the Usage
agency. which is in that part of the
strip formerly known as the Cherokee
! outlet but which was not thrown oper
| to settlement.

Citizens Complaint against tht

The residents of Greenville are at war
with the Lingg Spinning Company over
a fence which it has erected near its
large mill on Greenville avenue at the

NOT BADLY INJURED.
The Netherlands Hull Antact-State-

gone ashore and assisted in carrying the
injured to the ambulances. Superintend-

and ordered the demolished boat tewed
to the company's repair shops at FIT
teenth street, Hoboken.
The Netherlands is one of the new
double deck boats, and has a twin-screw
propeller. 1t was launched about one
year ago, and this is the first accident
that it has encountered. Its side is bad

wheels would be if it had them, and 1t
was the passengers who were sitting
by the stairs that were hurt.
Traffic was only delayed about fifteen
minutes, the old ferryboat Bergen being
Immediately substituted in the schedule
for the Netherlands.
Pilot Henry Meyers of the Netherlands
stated that the accident was due to the
strong tide and the wind that was COM
ing from the Bay. No fog was over the
river at the time, but he said it was
almost impossible to make any direct
headway against the elements, let alone
tack against them. 1t was while
swinging the boat around to go into the
slip that a strong gust of wind came
and carried it, despite the rudder, with
full force against the projecting piles.
Superintendent Woolsey said that the
damage to the Netherlands will not ex-

it will not be necessary to put her on

the French are pushing forward rapid
ly, SO that the potato display at the
recent Paris agricultural show was con-
sidered the most notable exhibit.
In America attention has been direct
ed rather to the production of new va
rieties than to improvement by selec-
ton within a variety. These new va
rieties are produced every year, and
when one is grown that has some quail
ity which makes it superior to proceed
ing sorts, it is sure to find a foothold
with potato growers and so takes it's
place as market variety in the class
to which it belongs.
Most of these varieties are the prod
uct of careful crossing of the best sorts
and the gradual development of the re-
sulting seedlings. When one is pro-
duced that possesses such character
istics as to separate it from all its pred
ecessors, it becomes the founder of a
new class. Each variety derived from
it, and resembling it more or less, is
given name to distinguish it from
other varieties, but all belong to the
same class, so that while growers rec
ognize both variety and class, dealers
acknowledge class only.
The four principal classes are the
Burbank, Hebron, Rose and Peerless,
the three first being for fall and win
ter use and the last for spring a. !

SHEARIN0 THE SHEEP.
Timely Hints About Increasing the Valu'
of the Wool, Etc.

OF the Wool, Etc.
Sheep shearing is now in progress in
different parts of the country, and the
following, taken from an exchange,
will be read with interest:
The best authorities on wool are the
buyers themselves. have sold my
lots of wool, for nearly lifetime, to
the same factory, but / have learned
that what they want is wool clear Of
burrs and hayseed and other trash.
They claim that unequal feeding, re-
ducing the flesh of the sheep, makes
an uneven strength of fiber and un-
even cloth as we'll, injurious to manu-
facture They want the fleece de-
livered unbrol5en that it may be sorted
by experts to suit the fpeness of the
cloth. try to please purchasers and
conform to their will, not mine. Yet
the sheep are better for this.
l make platforms for the shearers Of
large useless doors, which are better
than fixtures or elastic planks which
aid the sheep to tangle the wool in
turning over. The tags are cut off be-
fore the fleece, and thus its fracture Is
avoided. In consequence, get about
three cents per pound more than care
less breeders, and that three cents is
clear profit. When the coat is off, it
is spread on the doors and done up in
three layers, rolled closely together
and tied once with strong Irvine.
This is better than two ties, which
may loosen the wool in crowding it
into the sacks for transportation, the
approach to ball being best, That
nothing may be wasted, the tags are
given away or washed on the shears
and put into separate bags and labeled.
The tags are then worth as much as
the full fleece.
Every sensible man takes care In
small savings. They are pure profits,
and generally make the rich in all
lands. Trash and burrs break the
continuity of the wool and allow cold
nd rain to injure the sheep which are
clothed with wool by nature because
they are sensitive to climatic changes.

DEVICE FOR TYING FLEEoEs.

edges of the fleece and raise the side
leaves to the proper position, fastening
them together with hardwood hook,
as shown in Fig. 2. Raise the end
leaves E, E, until they pass the springs
c, G, @, c. This will fold in the ends of
the fleece neatly and hold everything
/ place until tied. When this box is
closed the fleece will have to occupy
one cubic foot of space. If the feeces
are large it may be necessary to in
crease the dimensions. of this box.
Wool Irvine is about the size of COM
mon lead pencil, and should always be
used for tying the fleece when 1t can
be obtained. 1t is neither small nor
harsh enough to injure the fiber when
drawn tightly. 1t is probably not SO
expensive as other twines.-Orangs
