rolled him in the sand, sunk his

generosity that approaches con-
triton for the act, we have raised
him up again, dried his clothes,
brashed the dust from him, healed
his wounds, fed him, hired a c; r.

home, and, as we parted with him,
amid a confusion of regrets and
adioses, thrust $40. 900. 900 into
his pocket. Such are the short
and simple annals of a great war,
honorable to us and profitable to

Il
Aurmsunted hy the Goyernm7ue.
A special from South McAlester
to the Kansas City journal says:
A grave situation cOnfronts the
United States government in the
matter of allotting the land of the
red men in the Indian Territory.
Three fifths of the Indians in
the Territory are minors, whose in
terests will have to be protected
by the government. The rentals
on the land alone for the next
twenty years will amount to at
least 500, 900. 900. When alIot
ment is made, the minors and wo-
men viii be given their share of
the public domain. This comes to
them as an allotment, and with
which heads of families have moth
ing to do. Each child has its share
as absolutely his or her own prop
erty as the share given to its father.
Over this allotment the father has
no more control, legally, than
man living in Russia. Up in the
Quapaw country this question has
been made, but by no means ad-
justed. Judge Springer said that
it would keep one Judge busy the
year round to attend to the guar
dian business in that nation, un-
der the most favorable cireum-
stances, but as the conditions now
exist nothing satisfactory could be
accomplished.
The difficulty is in finding men
who will act as guardian and give
bond until the minors attain their
majority. Twenty years is a long
time for guardians to be under
bond, and twenty years is a long
time to wait for final adjustment
of their guardianship. 1t is esti-
mated that three-fifth of the en-
tire Indian population are minors.
This is a low estimate, and close
students say that the proportion
will be larger. In but compara-
lively few cases can guardians be
secured for these minors from
among the number of the tribes to
which they belong. The fathers
cannot be security for their chill
dren, from the simple fact that
their land is inalienable for pc
riod of twenty-five years, and men
of means who have property that
could be realized upon will not be
security for these guardians them
selves. Three hundred acres of
land, supposed to be the amount
the Choctaws will get, is worth at
least So per acre rental. This will
give the minor 5000 per year. To
this amount the father has no right.
When the minor attains his ma
jority he should have laid down to
him $12, 900 cash as the rental of
his land for twenty years. Thus
it will be seen that there is an
enormous amount of money involv-
ed in the minor and guardian ques-
ton. Judge Springer has been
working on this question, and finds
it is a hard one to solve satisfac.
torily. Some kind of legislation
will have to be enacted that will
guard these interests and protect
the minors in their rights. This
will have to be done before guar
dians can be appointed and before
allotment begins"
