Indians Want 10 Cote Mexico.

The Cherokee and Creek Indians tc
the number of some 10, 900 in Indian Ter
ritory wish to remove to Mexico be
cause real estate schemers have beer
working among them, taken their chiefs
on several junketing trips, introduced
them to President Diaz, and got a con-
cession and certain privileges for the
proposed colony that is to occupy a bic
grant belonging to some one who is in
on the deal. But in order to make the
scheme work out the Indians have to
sell their lands back to the government,
which has just determined to allot
farms to them separately. They will
send a lobby to Washington to induce
congress to buy the land or consent to
it being sold as a tract. They will meet
missioner, who is opposed to the prop
osition. The government might do we'll
to permit the tribes to go, unless it is
feared that the colonization would be a
failure and this country be called on to
take care of the Indians if they should
migrate back across the line. If Presi-
dent Diaz would give bond to keep them
and to care for them in ease they can
not support themselves in Mexico, he
would certainly be welcome to the
Cherokees and the Creeks. They pos
sess a fine country now, and their only
reason for wishing to remove is to get
away from contact with the whites, who
are disposed to crowd too much to suit
the %aborigines. The whites can make
the country more useful than it will be
in the hands of the Indians.

Editors and Tyrants.

There is an editor lurking somewhere

a tale of Woe. He formerly worked VI
fake kilograms from the United States
and printed them in the official paper
of A%guinaldo at Tarlac. Last Week
when the American troops headed TO!

into a cart, dumped his type into a ba4

he may have reached, but his pi and

plumber was found his latest edition,
which he had not taken time to send
around among the cabinet officers. In
this the editor had the following vale

Not Supported In Utah.

congressman Roberts appealed to his
brethren in Utah with a declaration
that now is the time for all good men
to stand together, but the Utah Demo-
cratic committee has decided not to
take action to assist him in getting a
seat in congress. The Gentle members
of the committee did not desire their
party committed to an Endorsement of
disobedience by the congressman elect
of the laws of the country. and the Nor
mon members declared that he secured
the nomination and retained the sup
port of he party through promises to
clear up the charges made against him.
This he failed to do, and now attempts
to justify his polygamy as a right by
reason of his religion. The recent argu-
ment Of Mr.. Roberts has made it i'm
possible for his sect to support him
openly, because to do so would be to
prove what is alleged, hat they still
approve polygamy, although the church
declares itself opposed to the practice.

New Mexico has a population of about
265, 900. OF the thirty-one territories ad-
mitted into the Union as states since
1890, four had less than $4,000 popula-
ton at the date of admission, eight less
than 5000, nine less than 100, 900, six
less than 200, 600, one less than 300. 900,
and only three in excess of 300, 900. There
may be men in the territory who are
willing to be denied the privilege ex-
tended to citizens Of the rest of the
country. but if so the fact only proves
they need to have an opportunity to
realize the benefits of American state
hood, and can realize these only by ac-
tual experience. But there are enough
progressive people of the 265, 900 in New
Mexico who desire the privilege of self
government by the territory in it's full
and of participation in national
to justify their wish and right
being granted.
