the Mexico colonization liar has opened
up at Antlers A dispatch from that
place to the Dallas News states that
1.-THE choctaw-Chickasaw Union party
has a scheme on foot to treat with the
Dawes commission provided the United
States government will buy all the
Choetaw and Chiekasaw land outright,
and they will form a colony and go
down in Mexico and buy a lot Of land
and have their own laws" The Choc-
taw.Chiekasaw Union party has about
as much love for the Dawes commits
sion as they have for Mexico.

IT is a matter OF common regret on
the part OF the people OF the territory,
regardless Of politics, that 50 much
strife has been engendered in the dis.
tri5utiou Of the federal patronage.
Toe character OF the advertising thus
given Oklahoma Is not helpful in any
respect, hut on the contrary Is decid-
edly injurious Applicants for high
office in the territory, men who are
regarded by outsiders as our model
citizens, having been uusuccessful in
certain aspirations, exhibit elemeNts
Of character which should exist only in
cut-throats aad thieves These aspir.
ants for Office are supposed to be lead
ers Of their party aud their actions
thus become more humiiiating to the
rank and Gle Of their party than TO the
citizens at large But all Oklahoma
feels chagriDed and demands that the
men who are pretending % represent
one OF the political parties OF this ter
ritory shall modify their actions and
have some respect for the territory IL
they cannot have for their party.

INDIA FAMINE.

Seattle March 81. 1897.
To the Editor: The sorrows OF India
deepen The course OF events during the
past few months prepares the way for the
news OF the viceroy's message. as given
below In the extract from the pen OF j.
r. Crazy, editor OF the international de-
partment OF the Missionary Review of the
World. DR.. Gracy has long been known
and trusted In his statements concerning
international events. He says in the ar
tlcle just at hand:
"A good deal or criticism IL expressed
in Great Britain against the viceroy OF
India for giving out that the government
was able to cope with the famine In that
country, at the same time when mission
aries were writing home appeals for thou
sands on thousands of starving people
absolutely unrelieved from any source.
And the government OF india meanwhile
even refused to open fund for contrtbu-
lions for their relief outside OF India.
These criticisms came with better grace
from British subjects than II they had
originated elsewhere. II Is charged that
there has been cruel derelction OF duty
somewhere. and great indignation Is ex-
pressed that the cries OF distress from
India were muffied by optimistic teie-
graphic dispatches in the daily press; and
this when the death rate in one district
had risen from 90 per thousand to 10s per
one year.
