again for four hours this even
ing. discussing the peace terms

points.

1T is a reproach to our gov
ernment and a serious retiec
ton upon the competency,
judgment and humanity OF the
secretary of war and other off
Gals and army officers to have
kept the volunteers from the
South stationed so long in the
swamps of Florida and Louisi-
ana. where the air is burdened
with infectious diseases and
malaria. Hundreds. yes, thou>

are sick. Deaths occur every
day. The heat is oppres i've
and the mosquitoes are simply
eating the boys up. Why they
are kept in such holes to suffer,
sicken and die is inexplicable,
except upon the hypothesis that
they are Southern boys. Why
are they not seat to the front!
This outrage should be investi-
gated. While the war is pre-
tended to have been waged fo1
humanity's sake, little of that
article should be shown to oul
own soldiers.

For the high price of wheat
last year and in the early spring
Of this year the Dingley bill is
being given credit. The Kan
sas City Journal devotes nearly
a column of editorial space to
an exposition of the Mckinley
prosperity produced by the
Dingley tariff. But what about
the big tumble in the price of
wheat recently! What of the
stupendous failures of wheat
speculatorsG Why is it that if
the Dingley tariff made men
rich last year and in the early
spring of this year it fails TO
make men rich now? Famine
in India, short crops in Argen-
tine and Russia last year drove
wheat above the dollar mark.
The farmers of the United
States got a good share of the
benefit brought about by the
misfortunes of the farmers oil
Europe and Argentine. but the
Dingley tariff had no more to
do with it than the occultation
Of Orion. Republicans are hard
pressed for arguments when
they are forced to misstate
facts and to draw illogical con-
ciusions. The Dingley bill has
failed of its primary object,
which was to produce revenue.
1t has resulted in a deficit of
over $50.000.00u. and it has not
raised the price of agricultural
products a single penny. To
boast of a miserable failure and
to claim politi al credit for
providential happenings is a
small bit of business. The RI
publicans are hard put for ar
guments when they attempt to
take the credit from an act of
God and give it to an act of
congress.

CURTIS BILL OR AOREErENT7

Gov. r. M. HARRIS of the
Chickasaw nation has issued
his proclamation ordering an
election to be held on Wednes
day, August oath. 1898, for the
purpose of ratifying or reject
ing the agreement entered into
by the Dawes commission and
the representatives OF the
Chickasaw and Choctaw ma
tions at Atoka on the 23d OF
April, 1897. If this agree
ment is not ratified by the
vote of the two tribes, the
Curtis bill, passed by the last
congress, becomes the law and
takes effect from and after Its
passage. If the agreement Is
ratified it becomes the law with
all that part of the Curtis bill
that does not conflict with the
agreement. Both the Curtis
bill and the agreement give to
the freedmen of both nations
forty acres of land each. The
Dawes commission is now al
work taking a census and en-
rolling all citizeLs by blood or
marriage of the Five Tribes
and all negroes (freedmen) and
their children that are entitled
to allotment of lands. Tie
Curtis bill, as we'll as the agree
ment to be voted upon. is very
unjust to the enterprising and
progressive Indians who have
expended vast sums Of money
in improving lands and devel
oplng the resources of the ma
ton. However. they are now lefl
between the devil and the deep
blue sea-" Ii they don't accept
the agreement tue Curtis bill,
which is more unjust than the
agreement, becomes the Law
and they are forced by the
strong arm of the United States
government to accept It's terms
and give to each freedman
forty acres of land. If the
agreement is ratified, they vote
the freedman forty acres of
land and shut off all hope of
bringing isuit to test the consti-
tutlonality of the law. Thus
the matter stands. The Indian
is helpless. He must hold his
nose and gulp down the medi-
cine Uncle Sam gives him. At
present it is terribly unpleas-
ant, but as it is an unavoidable
candition, it must be borne.
with the hope that in time con
ditions of affairs in the Terri
tory will be improved. this
magnificent country developed
and the Indians as we'll as the
whites made to prosper as they
never have before.
