an honest. straightforward, sensible
view of these vital questions that
so effect the woof and warp of In
dian institutions, and to stand as
watchmen on the outer walls and
to be able at all times to signal the
approach of real or probable dan
ger. 1t was the flare of bag-pipes
of the coming Campbells that gave
warning and inspired hope, and re-
suited in the ultimate relief of
Lucknow. If there is any danger
of disruption of this government
it is the duty of the press of the
country TO indicate it and to pre-
sent the matter honestly to the
people, and il is then lett with
them as 10 whether they will take
advantage of circumstances or not.
A part OF the press of the Chero-
kee nation are telling the people
every week that there is no mon
opoly of land in this nation and
consequently no need TO worry
about that matter, when in fact
they know that their statements
are untrue and that time will
prove the utter falsity of their
statements. The CHIEFTAIN has
told the people of this territory
and now tells them that these trib-
al governments are all on the eve
of dissolution and that the part
OF wisdom would be to prepare
themselves for the change by saw
ing whatever they can of "the
wreckage." But the little narrow
guage bread-and- butter sheets in
various parts of the country con-
tinue to clamor and grumble
against the Dawes commission and
against everything and everybody
that indicates that which without
doubt is inevitable. But in the
meantime the transformation goes
merrily on. Every year congress
weaves the web little tighter and
it is steadily engaged in getting
ready to give the tribal govern
ments of this territory the finishing
touches of dissolution. If the re-
fusal of the people to discuss these
matters would stay the result or
hinder the policy of the govern
ment of the United States, then
there might be some pretext, but
as it is, it is the highest of folly;
besides it is wrong to mislead the
people into believing thing that
is impossible.

The local union OF w. c. I. u.
met last Thursday at 3 D. IN. at
Presbyterian church. The meet
ing was quite well attended and
there was held the annual election
of officers. The following ladies'
were elected: Mrs. Lee, president;
Mrs. Ironside. recording secretary;
Mrs. Cook, corresponding secre-
tary; Mrs. Dr.. Trott, treasurer;
vice presidents were appointed
one in each church of the city.
rhis week there will be mutn-
er's meeting at 3 p. N. at Presby-
terian church to which all mothers
aud daughters are cordially in
vited.
A practical experiment made by
the clergymen in Worcester, Mass, 3,
has proven c0nclusively that for

THE WILL TELL.

A great man has said, "He who
opposes bis own judgment against
the consent of the times ought to
be backed with unanswerable
truths; he that has truth on his
side lie a fool as well as a coward if
he is afraid to Own it because of
the currency or multitudes of 9TH
er mems opinions. This nugget
of wisdom was never better illus
trated than in matters pertaining
to the present conditions confront
ing the citizens of the FIVE tribes
with reference to their autonomy
as separate governments IN the
midst of the United States. Every
intelligent person knows perfectly
well that this country is going to
undergo a change in land tenure
and of government in the very
near future, yet many of the lead
ers and a portion of the press of the
country persist IN telling the people
that the country is safe for years
to come, and also try to make it
appear that every one who essays
to discuss the probability of a
change is an enemy of his people
and ought to be put down. To ad-
vocate allotment Of land, and TO
treat with the Dawes commission
means TO bring down upon one the
condemnation of horde of shys-
ters who are running this country
for what there is in it and at the
same time posing as patriots and
lovers of their blood aud country.
Ifthere was no immediate or near
prospect for a near settlement o.
all these matters il might do to de-
clare that the five tribes of this
territory were as solid on their
foundation as the everlasting hills
and would survive the "wreck of
worlds" but such is by no means
the state of affairs that really does

The hsld maple is an excellent
street tree when grown, but its
growth is slow at first The Nor
way maple is an excellent street
tree and grows somewhat more
rapidly than the sugar maple.
Those who have given the subject
most attention have concluded
that forty feet is near enough for
the hard maple, Norway maple,
and elm, when they are grown.
The writer has watched the plant
ing and growth Of street trees for
many years and comedies with the
opinion in regard to distance as
expressed above. But, there is
another view of the subject. When
the trees mentioned are planted at
forty feet apart it will require at
least twenty-five years for them to
occupy the space, and in the mean
time the desired shade in hot
weather will be wanting more or
less. To ooviate this difficulty,
whether naples or elms are plant
ed, they can be set tbirly-six or
forty feet apart, and midway be
tween set tree of the soft maple.
The soft maple will grow rapidly,
and at the end of ten years the
street will be pleasantly shaded,
and at the end of twenty years the
soft maple trees should he all cut
away, leaving space for the further
development Of the trees that are
20 remain.-Vicks' Magazine.

is said there is soon to be a new

sas, and that the real line is three
miles further north. This will

ance with very many records COM
ing from Judge Parker's court, |
doubt whether any man charged
with murder, whose plea was self
defense, has ever had fair trial
there.
Judge Parker's letter places
him in the position of being the
one dissenter out of thirteen. He
differs from the nine members of
the supreme court, the solicitor
general and two assistant attorn-
eys general Other persons may
distrust the judgment of one who,
sitting as the arbiter of life and
death, uses language which in Al
lison VS.. U. s., 100 U. S. 217, con-
strained the Supreme Court to
say: Where the charge of the
trial judge takes the form of ami
mated argument, the liability is
great and the propositions of law
may become interrupted by digres-
sion, and SO intermingled with in-
ferences sprInging from forensic
ardor, that the jury are left with
out proper instructions; their ap-
propriate province of dealing with
the facts invaded; and errors inter-
vene which the pursuit of differ
ent course would have avoided
"The truth is that the Judge,
while actuated by proper motives,
is, on account of his great desire
to secure convictions, the best
friend of the criminals, for he in
sures them reversals, and thus
gives them chances of escape
which the most adroit criminal
lawyer could not possibly ac-
complish.'' -

A Decision for Decency.

The supreme court of the state
has decided that the Kansas City
Sunday Sun and similar publlca-
tions cannot be circulated in Kan
sas. The case came before the
court on habeas corpus proceed
ings for the release of newsdeal-
er of Leavenworth who bad been
arrested for selling the Sunday
Sun. The court said in part: The
act under consideration was not
passed to prevent the publication
of libels, nor to suppress papers
indulging in such publications, but
to prevent the publication and
sale of newspapers especially de-
voted to the publication of scan-
dars and accounts of lecherous and
immoral conduct. Without a
doubt a newspaper, the most prom
inent feature OF which is items de-
failing the immoral conduct of in
dividuals, spreading out to spublic
view an unsavory mass of corrup-
ton and moral depreciation, is cal
culated to taint the social atmos-
phere. and by describing in detail
the means resorted to by immoral
persons to crafty their propensi-
ties, tends especially to corrupt
the morals of the young and lesd
them into vicious paths and i'm
moral acts. We entertain no doubt
that the legislature has power to
this class of publications,
without in any manner violating
the constitutional liberties of the
press.

A young gentleman at church
conceived most sudden and vio-
lent passion for young lady in
the next pew, and felt desirous of
entering into courtship on the
spot, but the place not suiting a
formal declaration, the exigency
suggested the following plan: He
politely handed his fair neighbor ii
bible, open, with a pin stuck in
this text-second epislle of John,
verse 5: "And now | beseech thee
lady, not as though | wrote a new
comman dment unto thee, bu. that
which had from the beginning, that
we love one another" She re-
turned it with the following-sec-
ond chapter of Ruth, verse 10:
"Then she fell on her face aud
bowed herself to the ground, and
said unto him, why have ! found
grace in thine eyes; that thou
should take notice of me; seeing |
am a stranger?" He returned the
