MANLY WILL GO NORTH.


Washington. ID. c.. Nov 14-lSpecial)
R. III. Bunting, John r. Melton :ih1
C. H. Gilbert, who were exiled from
Wilmington during the late Unpleasant
ness in that city, are in Washington AMI
today called at the Department of jus
tice.
The objects of their visit is not known,
but it is understood that they will make
efforts to have certain parties in North
Carolina prosecuted if they themselves
can remain out of the State and not give
evidence. All of them agree that they
cannot go back to the State, believing
they say. that the threats of the white
people of Wilmington will be carried out.
Manly, the editor of the late Whining
ton Record. says he is not SO much to
blame as Others for the infamous article
in his paper, and he intimates that when
they can get out of danger, he will de-
fend himself by giving the facts and
naming the parties he accuses. He has
been here, but his whereabouts, for some
reason. have been kept secret. His story
is not generally credited as having sem
blance of truth. He intends removing
TO the North and will seek aid from
some of the Northern people who profess
to believe in social equality between the
two races.

There is good deal of specula.
tion in Cherokee circles as to
what council will do at its session
which meets the first Monday in
next month. 1t is said CHIEF
Mayes will include in his annual
message q Recommendation to
council to provide Immediately for
a commission to treat with the
Dawes commission. But the sue.
cess Of such a movement will de.
pend very largely upon the men
who lead in the proposition.
There are those whose advocacy
of any measure would mean sus.
picion on the part of the Chero-
KEGS in remembrance of other
years and other transactions.
While there are plenty of Chero.
KEGS entirely worthy of trust and
confidence there are those who
have proved recreant TO the trust
reposed in them heretofore. If q
successful deal is to be made with
the Dawes commission those who
have 80 often plundered the Cher.
okee people had better stay in the
background.

A Praul.

It now transpires that the "Rev.
J. Foster Marston," who lectured
in this city few weeks ago, and
who claimed to be a representative
of the Red Cross Society, was a
veritabls fraud, and simply work
ed the town for whatever he COL
lected here. The following letter
from the secretary Of the real
order explains itself:
Dear sir:-Replying to your let.
ter addressed to Clara Barton In
reference to "Rev. j. Foster Mar
ston," l have to say that he has
no authority whatever to solicit
money for the Red Cross. We
have no agents anywhere, and we
never ask for money. In times Of
calamity the Red Cross always
goes ahead with its own money,
and the generous American public
always sustains 1t with everything
needed. We thank you very
much for having called our atten-
ton to Mr.. Marston, and we will
take means to stop his fraudulent
work. Very truly yours,
c. II. H. CoTTRELL,
Secretary.

Judge Thomas used some strong,
but altogether commendable lam
guage. His honor said that the
way the rights of the Indians had
been trampled under foot was
enough to make every American
citizen blush for shame, and that
while he was on the bench he
wanted it distinctly understood
that crime committed against an
Indian would be punished just as
tho committed against any other
kind of people. The court stated
also that the government of the
United States had sold this country
to the Indians and conveyed it to
them by title as sacred as could
be made, and that the way their
timber had been stolen and their
rights ignored was a burning
shame, and should be stopped as
far as his court was able to act in
the matter.

Sale of Liquor to Indians.

Some interesting facts are dis.
closed in regard to the sale oi
liquor among the Indians in Indian
Territory. The following is from
the report of the commissioner Of
Indian affairs:
although the United States
marshal for the southern division
of the Indian Territory had re-
ported that no intoxicating liquors
were being sold within his juris-
diction, the first place touched by
special agent Brewster-Ardmore,
in the Chickasaw Nation-was
found to be alive with liquor deal
ers. A number Of saloons were
running in open violation of the
law, and he seized there some 206
barrels of bottled beer in the pos
session of two wholesale dealers.
The condition was found to be but
little better at other towns in that
vicinity. A number OF persons
were arrested by reason of the evi.
dence obtained by Mr.. Brewster,
and many have been convicted and
sent to the penitentiary.
1.-THE most serious disclosure
was the fact that some of the of.
ficers of the court were frequently
intoxicated, especially one United
States commissioner by the name
of Kean, at Purcell, Chickasaw
Nation, who, at the time of the
investigation, arrived at Purcell to
hold court in such state of intox-
ication as to be unable to perform
his duties. This man was removed
by Judge Townsend when the mat
ter was laid before him by special
agent brewster, as were also two
other persons, members of the bar
at that place. 1t also appeared
from this investigation that the
only person at Wynnewood who
had authority to suppress the
liquor traffic and to make arrests
therefor was an Indian policeman
by the name of Walker, and he
was found by Mr.. Brewster in such
state of intoxication as to be
hardly able to walk. This man
was summarily dismissed by order
of this Office as soon as the facts
were ascertained."

After the government of the
United State realizes fully that the
Curtis bill is a failure. and does
not in any considerable measure
fill the requirements of the state OF
affairs existing here, wonder who
will be to blame for the blunder.
Somebody has erred, and some
body ought to be responsible for
the chaotic conditions that exist on
every side. There is only one
reasonable explanation to offer
and that is that very incompetent
and inefficient men have had the
directing of legislation touching
this country. Curtis of Kansas
and those of the house and senate
of the congress of the United
States who stood with him in
foisting upon the country the Cur
tbs bill, should now stand aside
and let some one else have q
chance at the solution OF Indian
