The Owner of tie Indians Land.

The lands of the Five Nations lin
the indian Territory are ostensib!y
held in common, but as matter OF
fact the disproportion in holdings is
monopolistic to remarkable degree.
The real Indian derives little benefit
from his patrimonial acres. The pale
skinned Jacob has stolen Esau's birth
right. There are farms, rich and
highly cultivated, of from 5000 to
25, 900 acres in a body; pastures OF
long succulent grass whose fences
horseman cannot encompass from sun
to sun mines opulent with their stores
of coal; but they are controlled by
professional red men, or the mixed
breeds whose dominant blood is white.
1t is said that score of Chickasaw
citizens, in whom combined there Is
hardly enough aboriginal blood to
make full-blood Indian, control
nearly ninety per cent. of the arabic
lands of that Nation. y Cherokee
sauaw man is said to hold more land
than is hell by all the full-bloods in
The tribe. Under tribal law there IS
40 limit to the extent of a citizens
holding. He can control and enjoy
the usufruct of as much land rs he
can fence without encroaching upon
the improvements of a fellow citizen.
As consequence the National domain
has passed into the possession of the
more intelligent and enterprising ele.
ments of the tribes. the intermarried
citizens and mixed breeds, who con-
s.itute probably four-ffths of the
the population. These landlords, many
of whom operate on a scale colossal
enough to make the estates of tha
land barons of the Old World seem
mere truck patches in comparison,
utilize white non-citizen labor in the
cultivation and improvement of their
vast farms. The Indian agricultural
toiler is an anomaly, and colored labor
is uncommon. AS rule, especially
in the opening up OF new farms, the
tenant not only furnishes the labor,
but the improvements also, under an
annual rental contract based on
hare of the crop. .-Harper's Magazine.

Ruined In a Night.

The famine that decimated Ireland 30 years ago was caused by the blighting of tho potatoes-then the staple food of the peasantry. The blight literally walked in darkness, theugif~the sickness destroyed at noonday. Says Frances Power Cobbe in her "Life:,
 I happen to be able to recall precisely the day, almost the hour, when the blight fell on the potatoes and caused the great calamity. A party of us were driving to a o'clock dinner. As we passed remarka- bly, fino field of potatoes in blossom, the scent came through the open windows of the carriage, and we remarked to each other how splendid was tho crop.
 Threo or four hours later, as we returned home in the dark, q dreadful odor came from the same field, and we exclaimed: Something has happened to those pota- toesl They do not smell at all as they did when WIG passed them on our way outP
 Next morning there was avail from one end of Ireland to ti,e other. Every field was black, and every root rendered unfit for human food And there were nearly 5000, GOO of people depending principally upon those potatoes for existence!

OUR FLAG AT STOCKHOLM.
How the Stars and Stripes Were First
 Raised In Swedeu's Capital.

When Minister Thomas took possession of the archives and property of the United States at Stockholm, he was surprised to find no American flag among them. He spoke of tho matter to some of his col leagues, tho ministers of other countries, and was told that no foreign minister at Stockholm ever hoisted his country flag To do so would be looked upon as breach of etiquette. MT. Thomas was in strait betwfxt two. He did not wish to offend 1 the Swedes, and he did not wish to sec an ] American holiday go by without display ing the American flag from tho American legationo9,,a. ,L ta 5~~t af
 An idea came to him. He sent to Amer ica for flag He procured a staff and from drawings of his own had an Ameri- can eagle carved. This was gilded and perched on top of the staff. Then he wait ed till the great Swedish holiday came around-the anniversary of the death of Gustavus Adolphus, '. On that day, when the great. choral societies of Stockholm marched through the streets of the city, with flags flying and multitudes follow ing, it happened somehow that, regardless of precedent or custom, the flag of the United States-hag, flagstaff, golden eagle and all-were run out from the American legation.
 The result justified all the minister's s hopes. Every ono was pleased. People and press united in praise of the tribute thus paid by tho American minister to the memory of the great Swedish warrior. From that time of course the stars and stripes floated unchallenged in the capital of tho north land, especially on Washing tons birthday, Memorial day and the Fourth of July. -

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Sept 19-The Suns cotton re- view says Cotton advanced 15 to F points and closed firm, with sales of 269, 200 bales. New Orleans at one time was 20 to 22 points higher, and then receded few points on realizing.
 The port receipts today were F, 505 bales, against G50G this day last week and 19,Gi0 last year.
 The New Orleans receipts tomorrow are estimated at 4000 to 4500 bales, against 12S5 last week and 6773 last year.
 Liverpool advanced 1-32d on the spot and 1 to l12 points for future delivery, with spot sales of 12,OOo bales. The close there was firm In Manchester yarns were quiet, but firm, while cloths were in moderate demand against 5000 for the same week last year.
 Spot prices were l-16c higher at New York, Augusta, Norfolk and Savannah. and hc higher at New Orleans.
 Today's features The chief bull card was had estimated the crop at only 7,25O,0OO bales. This caused sharp advance. Some denied that the estimate in Europe had been issued. A Liverpool dispatch said: Nell will come bullish tomorrow; no eStl- mate." The general belief was that this firm had changed from bearish to a bull sh view of the crop situation. and that was after all enough to cause considerable GOV ering of shorts. Outsiders were buying freely. New Orleans was a heavy buyer, and Liverpool purchased on a liberal scale also; the continent bought steadily. The crop news was unfayorable. Liverpool was leans did much spot business at a substan- tial rise Wall street houses were buying. The outside interest in the bull side seemed to be increasing. The conviction is spread ing that the crop is small and that prices sooner or later must reach much higher level than has yet been seen this season. The financial situation was regarded as little more cheerful. number of the spot markets were higher, and, in d word, it was a bull day.
