THE INDIAN SKIN GAME.

One of the greatest farces ever enact
ed, with powerful government as the
dupe, is now in progress in Tahlequah,
the capital of the Indian territory.
The Cherokee Indians are being paid
$4,000 600 in good ringing old gold for
the Cherokee strip. The American peo-
pie are paying it. The American people
did not pay for New England. They did
not pay for Georgia or North Carolina.
That land did not belong TO the savage
Indian. He did not improve it or hold
il as his own. He was nomadic, and
ownership of land was unknown to him.
The white people, by the right of superb
ority in arms and intellect drove HIM
away, not so much by force as by the
circumstance that the Indian of that day
preferred solitude, and moved off of his
own accord, sometimes, it is true. re-
manning long enough 10 butcher all the
women and children they could, but not
unless the greater part of the male white
population were away from their homes.
Now it is held by lot of kind hearted
but weak. minded and misinformed peo-
pie in the east that the brave, noble
Cherokee is at last getting little of his
dues. He is being paid for his land, the
Cherokee strip, In an eminently just and
proper way.
What is the Cherokee Indian? Is he
the wild savage who hacked the hair
off the pilgrim with tomahawk? Is he
the noble red man who signs for the SOL
itude of the forest, and longs to sleep
under the towering oak and spring
lightly through the underbrush and
PUNK the fleet deer in the ear.
Not much. He is not an Indian at
all. BE is white. His wife is white,
He, his wife and children are educated.
They are Is able to take care of them
selves as any American family. Some
or them have a little Indian blood in
their veins, bnt very, very little.
But 1t is on account of that touch of
Indian blood, the blood of a savage,
cruel. ignoble race, always despicable
and treacherous, that this great govern
ment must so down in its Jeans and
fish up $1,000, 600, and fork it over TO
these people.
1t is absurd. The Cherokee Indian
who is pocketing this money and laugh
ing at Uncle Sam for a sucker is not
an Indian. He is white man. There
wonld be just as much sense in an
American citizen whose grandmother
aunt was Frenchwoman, going back
to France and making the government
OF France pay him for the site of Paris

A NICE. SOFT WAY.

From the Detroit Free Press
The relator of this story was On his
way Up Monroe avenue the other day
when a chap who looked seedily anx-
ious stopped him at Farmer street to
say:
Il think you can tell me what I am
very anxious to find out Can there be
such a thing as a snake in the human
stomach"
"Why, have heard of such cases"
ibid you ever see one?
mo. Why do you ask?"
''Wen / met a chap down here who
was complaining that he swallowed q
snake ten years ago, and that it was
bothering him a great deal He seemed
an honest, truthful man, but / didn't
know what to make of his story
ibid that snake want anything in
particular just them"
THE chap said as how he did, sir,
and that was why was suspicious Of
him"
Ibid he say it was about the usual
hour for the snake to take a glass Of
beer?"
'.He did, sir. That's exactly what
he said"
"And If he didn't get it he would
keep on acting UP and making things
unpleasant"
"Yes, sir"
"Man appeared to be conscientious
and truthful. eh?'
Indeed he did"
''He wouldn't have deceived you just
to get glass of beer?"
II don't think he would. sir. He
was holding his hands on his sides,
just this way, and his face was all
screwed up, like this. and don't think
he would act that way unless there
was something wrong"
'But you didn't help him?"
"N-no, sir. wanted to be sure, you
know"
81 think I know the man. / think
he is standing right here beside me.
Here is a nickel TO stop that riot
going on down behind his vest, and
there's plenty of saloons in this To-

and bowed and scraped, Il am So years

Many a man fails to do just thu

as force TO move them on toward q
