MAKE TIE INDIANS SCRATCH.

During the last week the Chickasaw
nation has suffered from the depreda-
tons of desperate named King Blue.
King Blue is negro Indian. He has
been at the head of the half-blood
negroes in the Chickasaw nation since
the war. Whenever it has suited his
fancy and whenever he could find the
whisky 10 fire his savage soul he has
gone out on one of his raids and muir
dered and plundered at will. He is not
punished. No one ever thinks of bringing
him TO justice. The friends of those he
aud his dastardly band have injured do
not try to have him arrested and tried
because there is practically no law, at
least no just law, in the Indian nations.
And yet the Chickasaws are known as
the one of the five civilized tribes. They
are civilized in few things. In others
they are grossly savage. Wien il comes
TO farming and making money and col
Letting taxes from intrudeIs they are
civilized. The men who are at the head
of the government are civilized. They
are educated. They are well read They
can speak good English. They enjoy all
the benefits OF civilization, so far as it
pertains TO the comfort of living. But they
have no laws. The leaders want no laws.
They would rather have the government
keep up the farce of exercising simply n
protectorship over the tribes and letting
these leaders run the government of the
tribe TO suit themselves
There Is no government in these
tribes. The worst desperadoes find
shelter in these lands. Murder is a pee
cadillo. Drunken Indian orgies are of
weekly occurrence, and raids such as
the one led by King Blue, by no means
rarity.
There is only one way 10 meet this
difficulty. Ii is 3 great difficulty be-
cause it endangers the lives Of the
people Of Oklahoma so long IS IL exists.
/ Uncle sam should take the Indian In
hand. He has helped the red man long
enough. He should make that territory
state and let the Indian scratch for a
living, as the rest of mankind does. He
should surround him with the environ
| ments OF civilization, not only. but with

SIC 'EM JAPAN.

Japan appears to be aspiring to be
the Johnny Bull of the Orient. Seem
ingly she has China licked, body and
breaches. In reality she has not. This
is tremendous war. 1t has not been
in progress over three months. But
three events of any magnitude have
transpired. All have been against China.
These three events are: First-The sink
ing of the Kow Shing. Second-The
battle of Ping Yang. Third-The bat
tie of Yula.
Japan is having glorious time. She
is whipping everything at sight on
water, and larrupirg the disrupted col
home the inha btants divert the Mikado
by touching off giant firecrackers in
honor of the victories.
All this sounds very fine from a JAP
anese standpoint, and we are assured in
the dispatches that the japanese are
very clever fellows, and very ferocious
fighters. Most of US have been inclined
TO accept these views of the matter, too,
in the face of the great perpetual truth
once uttered by Bret Harte that "for
ways that are dark and for tricks that
are avain, the heather Chinee is
peculiar" He is peculiar. That is
something that Japan and the war cor
respondents seemingly have yet to
learn. China may be whipped to all
appearances now, but it will pay to wait
before dumping this war into history as
q consummated fact.
China is not whipped. II is the most
populous nation in the world. To wipe
it ont 1900 people would have to be
killed day for about 500 years. Its
army is tremendous. rs soldiers are
equipped with modern weapons, and are
by no means towards. They have been
disconnected little at first, and the fool
Chinese emperor, who seems 10 be a
great deal OF savage. has yanked the
three-eyed peacock feather off Ii Hung
Chang, and made him shed his yellow
Jacket because the army had been IN
successful, and altogether, from Chinese
view point, matters seems unpropitious.
Still there is a good deal OF fight left in
the Chinese nation, as japan with lis
great game of bluff viii learn.
Three battles do not decide a war. par
ticularly when such ration as China
is party TO the contest, and the first
battle WOE does no. mean that the war IS
won by any means, as those who bad
the pleasure of participating IN Bniis
Run will agree.
For China 10 surrender the contest
now would be the sheeresr nonsense. -

EVERYBODY COME TO TIE FAIR.

1t should be matter of local pride
with every resident of Sedgwick county
to contribute what he can toward in
surfing the success of our state fair 1t
seems useless TO point out the advan-
tages to be derived from it for south
western Kansas, yet there may be those
who, from an easy indifference, would
allow the enterprise to languish fer
mere want of attention. To such the
EAGLE commends it as the best possible
means for making an exhibit which
will do more toward attracting capital
than any other at the same cost. 1t is
one thing to read or hear of the products
of this great, fertile valley; it is more
convincing to look over census returns
and official crop reports, but it is proof
irrefutable to see and inspect the gram,
fruit, vegetables, live stock and manu-
featured articles which we can exhibit
as home products. As the attractions
this year are greater than on any
former occasion. there will be
better attendance from distance than
S'Sh bSiOACs lhC ldCt VI It's DtlIlS d
state fair has great weight. Under this
arrangement 1t is to be an exhibit in
which every county of the state has an
interest. This demand for space proves
that it is so regarded, and it would not
be TO the credit of Sedgwick county to
fail in any department. Another in
centlve is the fact that a state fair, as
such, has not been success elsewhere.
Let every one see to it, and prove to the
public that Wichita is the point of
natural selection-the place where it
should have been located from the start.
A week devoted to this worthy enter
prise, and few dollars expended to
help it along, will many times repay
every resident of this part of the state.
Come and see what your neighbor has
produced. Come and cultivate your
taste in the fine arts. Come and witness
the trial of speed and quality of breed
ing of horses. Come and feel the en-.
thusiasm which has built a thriving and
prosperous city, Come and meet your
friends. Let it be the first of many an
nual reunions upon ground which is to
be historic as the scene and center of the
greatest industrial exhibit in Kansas.

THEIR PROMISES DON'T PAN.

Great stress is laid by the Democrats
upon the argument that, In coming into
power they found a bankrupt treasury
which they didn't-and that business
was langushing all over the country
during Harrison's administration
which we all know was not the case
but why don't they bring on their rem
edy? The business men OF the country,
without regard to party, would will
ingly accord them due credit, and in
deed it would be grand opportunity
for this party of wisdom-this party of
unselfish devotion TO the peoples well
fare. TO make the master stroke which
would bring us back to the easy-going
days of Republican rule. For 10 these
many years these disciples Of Jefferson
and Jackson have been telling us just
how the thing could be done, but by
some singular fatality there is a uni
versal lapse of memory Just at the time
when all impediments are removed.
Not one of tie many cure ais, which
have been as familiar as wizard oil adj
vertisement for the life OF a generation,
has vet been administered. Not a
national bank has been knocked out.
Not rascal has been turned out OF
Office without filing his place with an
other. Not a dollar has been saved in
public expenses save some 81, 0O0. coo
from pension appropriations. This item,
however, is more than three times
souandered in the snug revenue of S40,-
coo, 600 turned over TO the sugar trust.
All the talk about billion dollar con-
crosses seems SD pat IN its applica-
ton to the last session that IL reads ike
criticism in prophecy.

was either not bankrupt. or that the
party in power is impoteni 70 supply the

he should be yanked up just as quick
and dealt with just as severely as the
white Iaw-breaker is dealt with.
Viewed from Oklahoma, Uncle Sam
does not always appear TO be the pleasant
parsonage that he has been pictured.
The Washington government orders
the United States marshal to arrest the
poor settler for picking few faggots off
government land, and the deputy mar
shals, following out instructions or act
ing on 10 instructions at all, tear these
settlers away from their homes and their
families and carry them hundreds of
miles to some court where they are
heavily fined. At the same time the
government allows these desperadoes in
the Indian territory to go killing and
raiding at will, for no other apparent
reason than the one that the depreda-
tons are committed on lands controlled
by the Indian government. This is a
great wrong. 1t must be rectified. The
Indian has had all the money he is going
10 get. He has been petted and humored
long enough. He should be hauled up
short and be made to take his chances
with the rest of the world, and be forced
to comply with tine laws which are in
force In the case of white men. This ap-
pears even more necessary when it is re-
membered that the so-called Indian of
the Indian territory is not an Indian but
calls himself an Indian, will, in nine
cases out of ten, be found to be white
man with just faint Of the blood of the
aborigine in his veins. But that trace
makes all the difference with the United
States government.
