RAILROAD CLAIMS
May BE the Means of RetardInR the
Ratification Of the Treaty BY
the Present Congress-.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE
contention of the Missouri,
Kansas &ATexas railway COM
pany claiming tract of land
on both sides of It's track
through the territory, has raised
an unexpected obstacle TO the
prompt ratification of the Choc-
taw treaty, and at the same
time raise Il serious doubt as to
whether a settlement with these
Indians will be reached during
the life of the present congress.
In the aggregate, this claim in
wolves thousands of acres, as
the line traverses the territory
for Il distance of nearly POO
miles. The st. Louis * San
Francisco railway companymay
set up Il similar claim, but it is
by no means conceded that the
demands of the railroads can
be maintained and it is not alto
gether improbable that the in
terror department will return =
percmptory denial To the CON
tontion. Attorneys who are
familiar with the conditions in
the territory declare that no
grant of this kind would be
valid. as the United States
never possessed the legal power
to make such a grant, as the
lands did not belong to the gov
ernment when the grant was
made. They hold that these
lands belong to the Indians in
fee simple, and can bc acquired
from them only by purchase.
They cite the ease of Elks V.
Wilkins, ll2 L. =, To sustain
their argument. This case
originated in Nebraska, and i
interesting on account of a de-
ciSion, the supreme court hold
ing that an Indian Is an alien
and can become citizen of the
United States only by natural
ization. This decision, they
say, settles the status of the In
dian tribes, and in recognizing
their government as Il foreign
one deprives the United States
or all rights TO make grants to
railroads through their lands.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
According to previous announcement
a number of farmers of Cleveland

of vital interest to the county. T. D.
Falls, Esq , was called TO the chair aud
J. A. Ware was requested to act as
Secretary.
The object of the meeting was ex
planned by ]. NJ. Hoyle who made an
able speech in advocacy of q reduction
of cotton acreage of paying for com
mercial fertilizers with cotton only at
stipulated price, and Of making all debts
due in the spring instead Of fall.
The meeting was further addressed
ON the above lines by J. z Falls, Esq ,
J. @. Byers, ]. B Byers, J A. Ar
thony, Esq W. A Webb, ]. II. Quinn
end others. All agreed that present
prices of cotton are working a disaster
to the entire country and that some
thing ought to be done and done
speedily to counterfeit this downward
tendency, that a united eff Jrt of the
farmers throughout the cotton belt on
the lines suggested above would accom-
plish this end.
The following are some of the resolu
tions introduced by J. N. Hoyle
and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Thefarmers are oppressed
with debt and unable to meet their OBJ
legations on account Of the low price of
cotton and other farm products; there

RESOLVED, That we will not buy any
more commercial fertilizers unless we
can pay for same in cotton at a reason.

And joys attend me on my way.
What though life's cares seem heavy

And strange fOrebOdings bring grave

What though stray lines enstamp my

Or my weary load I bear in tears9
I'll list to nature, through whose
