A PROMINENT business man re-
marked the other day that he could
not understand how any one, in
the light of events, could defend
the action Of agent Dickson, whose
conduct in making the payment is
the subject of so much unfavorable
comment. II should not be f..
gotten that every scheme howe r
nefarious has its promoters and
abettors. The James and the
Youngers in their day had their
friends aud sympathizers, and it
has been said that at one time this
friendship extended along up near
the executive mansion of the state
Of Missouri. The Dalton boys had
friends with whom they could fac
refuge and sympathy when hard
pressed by the marshals. So in
the case of Col. Dickson, he has &
line of friends and apologists that
seems to extend from the greasy
tramp printer living off the crumbs
that fall from his masters table, on
up to dangerous proximity to a
cabinet officer. The estimate
placed upon Dickson and bis meth.

worthy Of belief who has gone in

on the STAINLESS schemes for ex-
torting money from the freedmen,
and from collectors who have cred.
tied them is uniformly the same.
Men having interests at stake have
gone out to Hayden and been
forced to behold a scene that would
cause the blush of shame to man.
tie the cheek OF any American cit
izen who has a spark Of pride or
manhood in his makeup, and have
turned away in disgust and silent
humiliation at the schemes Of sys-
tematic robbery that are to be seen
on every hand. The endorsement

= few people, exonerating Mr..
Dickson was a mistake, and those
who signed it stultifed themselves
in the act, Wrong should be con-
demned always and everywhere,

time when truth and right shall

lining who are to be enrolled as

This is the most important work
yet undertaken, and one that must
be finished before the division of
land can be made. The absorp.
tion of the Indian judiciary by the
federal courts is the most radical
piece of legislation ever enacted
relative to this country. The abo-
lition ofthe Indian courts means
the breaking up of tribal govern.
ment-it can mean nothing less,
for without judicial department
no republican form of government
can exist. The legislative and the
executive departments are simply
emasculated by The taking away Of
the judiciary.

On Friday Judge Springer made
a decision Of great importance to
the adopted citizens of the Chero-
kee nation. The facts of the case
were that one CosstepheDs, an
adopted Cherokee, who had taken
out naturalization papers in the
United States court made an inn
provement in Canadian district
which was claimed TO be within
the quarter Of a mile OF one Shinn

Jurisdiction over him and refused
10 attend the trial and judgment
was given against him and a writ
issued to Robert West. sheriff, to
put Cosstephens of said improve
ment. Cosstephens applied to
Judge Lewis OF the central district
and obtained an Injunction against
West, the sheriff, stopping him
from putting Cosstephens of. On
Friday west made motion TO dis
solve the injunction, aad after
hearing the case Judge Springer
dissolved the injunction. holding
that the taking out naturalization
papers did not authorize one to
violate the laws Of the nation in
which he retained ais rights and
privileges. and that as to such vi
olations the Indian courts have
jurisdiction. The firm of Cray

terwards it was used for years as a
quartermaster's depot for the
United States army. In 1888 the
state purchased the Alamo, put
custodian in charge, and it is now
open Tor the inspection Of visitors.
II is related that the Unly 'ne of
tue Alamo garrison who "showed
the wEite feather" and made his
escape is now living down on the
cuast-another proof that che who
fights and runs away may live to
fight another day" Doubtless he

on the course pursued.
Sunday morning, Feb. 81, saw
a pacific invasion of the Mexican
republic at Eagle Pass-Porfirio
Diaz on the Mexican side. An in-
spection OF the baggage was antici-
pated but the revenue officer very
politely-politeness and courtesy
are a national haracteristic-
passed the whole train without
looking into the cars except To ex-
press a cordial welcome. Much OF
the day was spent in riding through
sandy, dusty desert The day
following the bill of fare was much
the same, except that being Wash.
ington's birthday we got out at one
of the stations and listened to pat
riotic songs, speeches and a poem
by the New York delegation.
Out of the car window little
greeted the eye of the traveller ex-
cept an occasional jacal, which We
would call a hut, with its occu-
pants, few scattering adobes,
dignified with the name of town,
mountains on both sides of the
road, arid plains and the ever
present thorny, scrubby vegeta
ton. Every plant in this country
seems to be armed with a thorn
for protection, whereas one would
think shade more appropriate.
Before day Tuesday, 23rd, we
reached Aguas Calientes (hot wa
ter) and spent a most delightful
halt day. The baths of this place
are the most noted in the republic
and the money spent in this man
ner yielded more satisfaction than
any investment thus far made.

provide free baths on Sunday only,
in two large bath houses and there

as low as three centavos and in

THE status Of Indian legislation
is about as favorable as the friends
Of a change of government and OF
land tenue could desire. The
movement is continual and in the
right direction, and each returning
year sees step taken toward the
inevitable end. There are those
who desire to wipe out the Indian
governments at one fell swoop,
without waiting for the maturing
Of certain conditions, but such are
more impetuous than reasonable.
One Of the chief benefits looked
for by the progressive element in
all these tribes is the allotment of
