charming inducement s54OO.
Thus you see, Gone can but see, }
that all the better lands of the ma.
tion are virtually capitalized to
secure the ratification of the treaty.
1t requires no great degree of dis
cernment to see that there is, in
this way, the mighty force of more
than one million of dollars push
ing Tor the ratification of the
treaty. What stroke of political
art! If. under such circumstances,
the Muskogee agreement is not
ratified at the polls it will be a
wonder; the seventh wonder of
the world.
1t is only the poor fellow who
lives within two miles of a town
that is made to go into the allot.
ment in the correct way; his land
is to be appraised at its real value,
and he gets no bonus in it, but is
charged up with every cent of its
worth and is made to account for
the whole. Now the complaint is
not that he is dealt with in this
way; but that no others are dealt
with in like manner that is, with
the same strictness. In word,
he is made to do all the paying of
the fiddler, while all outside of the
two.mile limit are allowed to get
all the dancing free.
Now, while we are at it, we had
Just as we'll notice another thing
in which the agreement is unfair.
The election to be held on the
31st is not political election; but
simply an expression OF choice
among the heirs upon the division
of piece of common property.
What would you think of the six
brothers who would come together
and determine by vote as to how
they would divide or dispose of
the property left them by their
deceased ancestors, and refuse to
allow their only sister to vote-to
have anything to say about it,
simply because she is a ,ooman9
Yet this Muskogee agreement is
treating all the women of this
country in this heathenish way.
Now the only answer to the OBJ
jections which we have brought
against this unjust agreement, is
tame indeed; something in the
nature of confession and avoid
ance; like this: at is the best
that can be done; you can't expect
10 please everybody"
But the idea of pleasing and dis
pleasing finds no rightful place in
the problem. Working to secure
individual pleasure is what is do
ing all the mischief. The commits
sioners, in dividing this land, were
acting as judges of law and Justice.
They were not authorized to con-
suit the pleasure of anybody, but
simply to see that each person got
his just and fair-that is, an equal
share of the common property. |
Having done this, they had no
occasion to care whether the distri-
butee was pleased, or displeased.
1t was just as easy to appraise the
whole of the land at its true value,
and divide it equally among the
claimants, as it was to appraise it,
rs they said, at a fictitious value
and divide it unequally.
The argument that sit is impos-
'ible to please everybody" is no
sensible answer to the charges
which we bring against this one
,ided agreement.

Washing Out the Stomach.

Within recent years those physicians
who have made speciality of diseases
Of the stomach have become convinced
that the only satisfactory method Of
treating q great variety Of stomach
troubles is by washing out the stom-
ach. This little performance is car
ried out by means Of a flexible soft
rubber tube, swallowed by the patient.
At the other end of the tube is a rub
Der funnel, and when the stomach
tube has reached the stomach warm
water or some medicated fluid Is pour
ed in, and the stomach is subjected to
O thorough cleaning.
Disagreeable indeed the process is at
first. Indeed, for the first few times
Of the introduction Of the tube the pa
tient has often to be held down forci-
bly, to his seat. Then, curious to state,
the dyspeptic gets used to the stomach
tube and even begins to like 1t. The
cranks express such a longing for II
that long after they are cured of their
trouble they go on using the stomach
pump once, twice or even three times
q day. They haunt the physicians Of
fee and become his Dugbear during his
Office hours. Then finally, when the
medical man puts his foot down and
hatly refuses, to pass the tube any
more, they procure a stomach pump
for themselves and use it before a
looking glass.

count to decide the contest. The
only state In which real felicitation
can be indulged is Nebraska, and
as fusion won there, very little as
surance car be felt that the same
elements would be cohesive in
presidential election.
From the ARDMoRErrE stand
point the election endorses moth
ing but the personality of the sue
Ecessful candidates, and proves
nothing with reference to the cam
paign of 1900. The result shows
simply a return and adherence to
time honored state alignments
which were shaken and tempo
rarily changed by the last national
election.
A dog fall, in which each party
simply resumes its normal local
ascendency, conceded through
quarter of a century, seems very
frail foundation on which to base
superstructure either of admins
tration endorsement or condem-
nation.
But the leaders will figure, and
the typewriters will roll of pages
Of unsought interviews to show
the consolation and encourage
ment which each party derives
from this election.
