pennsylvania might claim one of
many designs. As the early capital OF
the United States it might embody the
old Capitol in its stamp. Its revolu-
tionary battles, its landmarks, its
statesmen all suggest themselves. but
it is as the keystone State that Penn
sylvania stands in the minds of other
States. A magnificent keystone de-
sign, with solidity and architectural
beauty might well represent Pennsyl-

OUR LAND MEASUREMENT

The "acre" is the amount which a
team of oxen was supposed to pillow in
a day. 1t corresponds to the German
"morgen" and the French "journee."
1t was fixed by the ordinance of Ed
ward I. as a furlong in length and four
poles in breadth. THE "furlong" or
"furrow long" is the distance which a
team of oxen can pillow conveniently
without stopping to rest. Oxen, as we

But there are other topics that are
as interesting as the State flower.
These are historical scenes and certain
associations that are inseparable in the
thought of the State.
New York is so identified with New
York Harbor and with ocean steam
ships that a design of a vessel riding
the waves was selected by a party of
gentlemen who met in the smoking
room of a Washington hotel to discuss
the possibility of the stamp design.
With a boat upon the crest of a wave
the story of the great steamships and
the principal port of the United States

"The advantages of this individual
State stamp are that each State can
then select its own motto, or its own
principal historical scene, or a portrait
of it's principal statesman and indivld-
ualize it. 1t is largely a matter OF
sentiment. but those in favor Of the
measure declare that national things
are necessarily matters Of sentiment.

INDIAN TERRITORY BILL.
The House Subcommittee Reports the
Result of its DellberatIons-A
Compromise Measure

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The house
ofIndian affairs subcommittee charg-
ed with the preparation of bill for
a reorganization of the government
of the Indian Territory has completed
its work and a report will be made
to the full committee tomorrow.
The bin provides for survey OF the
lands in the territory with view to
allotments of lands in severalty
among the Indians after a complete
roll Of them shall have been made.
A roll CT tie freedman in the terri
tory is provided f., through their
status is left to the ascertainment of
the Dawes commission which is to
report &. the Ee1,t session of con
gress.
Townsitos and mineral lands will
be reserved for allotment and the
former viii be leased at annual
rental, preference being given to
those who already have improve
ments thereon. All the money aris-
ing from such leases is to be paid
into the treasury for the benefit of
the Indians. The criminal jurisdic-
ton Of The Indian courts is abolished
and vested in the federal courts and
the latter given jurisdiction over ali
controversies on the land matters.
The laws ofArkansas against bribery
and official corruption are put in
force in the territory. The measure
agreed upon is in the shape OF a
compromise for the various bills
that are now before the committee.
