THERE is probably no one idea
so prevalent in this western coun-
try as that money is the measure
Of success in life. Ninety-nine
people out of every hundred see no
other standard, and know no 9TH
er way to measure a mans success,
than the amount of ofmoney he pos
sesscs. ''Nothing succeeds like
success" is false motto, 1t con-
veys the impression, unfortunate
ly for the morality of the business
world that money will purchase
any and everything, and is apt to
ripen into the conviction that fin
ancial success will cover all the
crimes, if not openly against the
laws, at least against good morals,
and public policy and public well
fare. We have in every commun-
ity those who stand in mortal fear
and dread Of the power of those
who have an abundance of money
We have those who see nothing
higher or Dobler or better than
money, and believe that there il
nothing worth having that can not
be readily purchased with money

THE condition OF affairs has
reached a point in this country
when every citizen should begin to
look out Tor the individual inter
ests Of himself and family. Just
when or what the end is TO be here
is shrouded in mystery ard no
man can see il. And a feeling of
uneasiness pervades the minds OF
the citizens OF the Cherokee nation
that can not be described. Is il
not possible that the time is APP
preaching when the heritage OF
these people may be "farned out"
as cold blooded and with as utter a
disregard for the rights Of the com
mon people as can be imagined2
Is il not possible that our very
homes may fall into the hands of
unscrupulous vampires who are
always ready to pounce upon the
weak land do il all in the name OF
'innoonce" and for the good OF
the community One commission
aflev another will be sent to this
country by the government, as the
surveyors follow in the footsteps
Of the Dawes commission. BY
and by an allotment committee

as most other commissions that
come 70 this country, will fall into

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.

Chicago Change.
 Chicago. May 24.--There was more calm ness ia the wheat market today than in any, yet there was enough restlessness in the trading to give it the stamp of unusual activity. The break at the close yesterday was an unfortunate thing for the bulls, as it exposed a weak spot and showed that prices had reached point where they had become vulnerable.
 This development led to some apprehen- sion among holders. Commission houses urged their clients to take profits, and their advice, which was wired yesterday after noon, brought numerous selling orders this morning. The fluctuations today were such reports, as frequently changes of 4 of cent were made to effect sales. The anticipated break came during the last hour in the form of decline of 1ls cents although previously to that time the tendency was lower. Crop but the spring wheat territory was wiring that crops in that country were in good con- sold between 79A and 76asc, closing at 77c, 1%c under yesterday. Cash wheat sold at weak and about cents lower
 Corn was weak on Ats own account, but was likewise so, under the influence of the lower prices of wheat. The receipts of corn still continue large, today's arrivals being 759 cars, and S70 are expected for to- morrow. The benefits of the growing crop is likely to receive from rains predicted for tonight and tomorrow prompted some sell ing, and on no news to offset the weakening factors prices declined unresstingly July corn opened at 544sc sold between that and 53sc. closing. at 53Ac, 1lac lower than yes. terday. Cash corn was 1 cent per bushel lower.
 Oats--Quite a large trade took place in oats The usual quitude of the market was disturbed by the. activity of the commis- sion houses who had selling orders Prices declined under the pressure of offerings The disposition to sell came from the weak ness of wheat and corn. July oats closed 1s.fD1atc under yesterday.
 Provisions-There was support to the pro- vision market today. Even the country oSnsngsn6 wnldn ma mas Deem 9a,sh 9n every hog product. The packers were sellers and their attitude met with little or no op- position Hogs were weak and lower. The waning strength of wheat also helped to

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, May 24.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton rose to points and then lost this and declined 1 to 3 points, then recovered this and advanced to points, and then receded again and closed at net advance for theday of 1 to points, with the tone quiet and steady and the sales POS. TOO bales. Liverpool declined 1-S2d on the spot, with sales of 5000 bales and 2l2 to points forfuture delivery, but ral- lied before the close. and ended steady at a net decline of to 11a points. New Orleans advanced to points. lost this and declined to 6 points, regained this and advanced ment.
 Total interior receipts 10, ,1OS bales. against 12,9l2 bales last week and 1925 bales last l year; shipments 30052 bales, against 25,i57 bales last week and 9, SIT bales last year, stocks 1l2, 775 bales, against l34.032 bales last week and 12S,ZH bales last year. The port exports were 2255 bales.

 New Orleans receipts tomorrow, are estl. mated at 1000 bales, against 1147 bales last Saturday and S6 bales last year. U
 The southern spot markets were quiet. Savannah advanced 1-16c, and Baltimore de- clined l-l6c
 In Manchester yarns were quiet, but steady, and cloths were quiet. a
 Spot cotton here was dull and easy-9S bales were sold for spinning and 12O bales for export.
 Today's features: Quite frequent fiuctua- tions were noticeable today, owing partly to less bullish foreign news. partly to some favorable crop reports and partly to Ameri- can and foreign selling. But the undertone of the market after ali showed considerable strength, and while prices declined at one time under the pressure of long liquidation, yet they rallied later on and ended at a slight advance for the day. Europe sold the distant months, but bought this crop. Wall street was buying and New Orleans pur- chased on a liberal scale The speculations were less active, but it was still of good proportions, and higher prices are pre- dicted.
