Governments run absolutely in
the interest ofthe people governed
are very few. The journal knows
Of but one, and that is an Indian
government. Students ofpolitical
economy can find some interesting
and curious conditions among the
Seminole Indians. The thieves
are all promptly whipped on con-
viction. There are no fat offices,
though the nation is rich. There
is no lobby at their councils. There
are no corrupt judges. All the
children are educated at the Sem
mole nations expense. The gov
ernment builds bridges, roads and
public buildings, and builds them
we'll. substantially and cheap.
The people are happy, healthy
and as abiding as their Okla
homa neighbors will permit them
to be. In forcing changes on the
five civilized tribes of the Indian
Territory the United States gov
ernment left the Seminole govern
ment almost as it has been for
wears. and but for the advice OF a
few United States government Oh
ficials would have left them alto
gether undisturbed. Governor
John r. Brown is the statesman
who has made his people, the
Seminoles, the most successfully
governed people in America II
was the doubt that his people
would be as well governed after
his death or retirement that caused
the United States government 70
take the first step in changing con-
ditions there. - Eufaula Journal

MAKING OF THE ROLL.
Additional instructions 10
Dawes Commission.

Indian COMMISSIONS Jones has
recently issued instructions to the
Dawes commission with reference
to the enrolment of citizens of the
five tribes. The following is the
portion that applies to the Chero-
kee nation:
The authority Of your commits
sion to enroll persons making ap-
plication for the first time, and
not previously recognized as citi-
zens in any of said nations, ex-
pired with the time limited in the
act of June 10, 1896, and there
now exists no authority In the
commission to enroll any person
as citizen of any said nations
whose name does not appear on
some roll of the nation. in which
such person may claim rights of
citizenship (and in the Cherokee
nation such persons must show
that they have been enrolled on
the rolls designated as being con-
firmed in the act of June Is, 1898,
and such as may show that they
are descended from parties whose
names appear on such rolls, born
after the preparation thereof; also
such as may have been admitted
by the commission to enrolment
under the authority granted to il
over the subject in the act OF 1896,
above referred to, or BY the courts
on appeal from the commission.

HAS DISAPPEARED.
Fred Moore Came to Vinita
And is Missing.

Thursday night Fred Moore
drove up from Grand river, east
Of Adair, with one of Vet Thomp-
son Is teens to have some black
smithiag done and make some
purchases for the family. be
left the plows at the shop and put
up the team at Jack Thompson's
and since that night has not been
seeo. Yesterday morning, when
the mans absence was noted, Mr.
Thompson hunted thoroughly all
over town and in the evening tele-
phoued to Vet, who came up to
get the team aud investigate.
Moore is middle aged man, and
worked for Mr.. Thompson at the
restaurant in this city for about
two wears and with Vet on the
farm as long. That he should
leave for the ten dollars given him
to pay the bills incurred seems un-
reasonable and some more p.aus-
ible theory is sought. The man
has always had money for his
needs and has made quite little
this season on farm products,
which he has hauled to Pryor
Creek. Moore has also an interest
in a crop of onions yet ungath-
cred. While the mans disappear
ance does not create alarm 1t is
certainly inexplicable. He has a
daughter at ST. Louis and one at
Youngstown, Ohio.

was entirely in bad taste for Don Caes-
ar to say My liege, Manila is vacant
in order to raise a laugh at the very
climax of a romantic opera, whose
scene was laid in the past. So also was
the reply involving a reference to Dew

Boccacio, or a dozen others, such refer
ence to modern political matters would
be extremely amusing. Indeed to make
them go they require to be brighten

There is now charge brought against
Lord wolselcy Of having doctered the
dispatches from South Africa. n you
can close the mouths OF correspondents
Il is an easy thing for military leader
to arrange his little affairs I'm this way.
The whole trouble not being told,
though portion Of it may be, an en-
trely different impression may be i'm
pressed upon the public mind from the
real facts of the case.
or course the truth has to come out
and il would be much better to tell It
out right than to suppress it, The
course of General Otis did far more
harm than good. Had the truth been
told by the correspondents there would
be now far more interest on the Main
land i'm the Philippine war than there
is.
If the victories won by the English
against the Beers were as ephemeral
as the capture of Filipino towns, it is
just as well that people should know
it. Apparently such now seems to be
the case and there will be a sweeping
storm of indignation throughout the
United Kingdom. As a fact, in spite
of many failngs, it is better to have
correspondents in the field, it gives the
public confidence, especially such pub
lies as those of the United States and
the United Kingdom. Russia is ac-
customed to doctered news, but the
Anglo-SaXons want their news, pure
and unadulterated.

The public is tickle, Horace gave it
the name centuries ago "turba mobi-
lium" the tickle crowd, and now there
is once more an instance of it to add
10 thousands of others. The historical
range seems to be from Aristides, the
Just. to Dewey, the hero of Manila.
The people of Atlanta, when the great
Admiral was obliged to cancel his en-
gagement for an ovation in that city,
have swung round and claim that the
honor of planning and winning the fight
in Manila Bay belongs not to Dewey,
but to Brumby, his flag lieutenant.
That 1t. Brumby will accept any ova-
ton on these lines may be decided at
once in the negative, but it is a queer
instance of the fickleness of public opin-
ion and the pettiness Of the mass.

DOCTERED NEWS.

The "docterng" of dispatches is a
very old trick which it was supposed
had relegated to the limbo of the past.
The presence of correspondents in the
field seemed to assure accurate and pro-
per information being laid before the
public. Napoleon was great at docter-
ing dispatches, so was every European
potentate till past the time of the
Crimean War. 1t was really during
this war that the war correspondent
came into existence in the person of DR.,
Russell. Since his time there has been
a magnificent roll of correspondents
whose names have acquired world wide
fame.
But though the correspondents have
done their work well and have prac-
ticaly revolutionized the methods of
giving information, the military and
official classes are strongly opposed to
them and their ways, and when Oppor-
tunity offers slip easily back into their
old tricks.
There seems to be little doubt but
that General Otis Cooked" dispatches
during the period of the censorship.

MUST WIN.

The administration is straining every
nerve TO put enough troops in the field
in Luzon to crush out the present rebel
lion. Here in Honolulu we realize more
thoroughly than any where outside of
San Francisco, how strenuous these
efforts are. a constant stream of sol
diers pours through our port, bearing
aid to the army in Luzon and promis-
ing a speedy end to the struggle now
going on. We see the troops with our
own eyes, other portions of the United
States only hear of them through the
papers.
Not only are soldiers being hurried to
the scene of war, but every effort is
also being made 10 increase the power
of the fleet. BY the Gaelic, Comman-
ders Blaeker and Mclean went forward
TO take charge of two of the captured
Spanish gunboats, another commander
is to follow by the next through steam
er. These vessels and others of like
light draught are to be used in blockad-
ing the river mouths and patrolling the
coasts.
Attacked by land, with force enough
to hold the positions, once they are tax
en-, the insurgents will be driven in
land, blockaded by sea, they will lose
that assistance which has been sent to
them by the junta in Hongkong and
elsewhere. The plan of campaign is
plain enough and there is no reason
why it should not be carried out to the
letter
Success in Luzon will undoubtedly
have an inspiring influence in the
United States. Failure on the other
hand would have a very depressing in
fiuence and might result in political
change. Much of the coming political
campaign will be settled in Luzon.

SOLDIERS GIVE HELP

While the police have had complaints
to make about being discourteously on
board transports that pass through
here, the customs officers have an oppo-
site report to make. The commanders
Of the vessels have readily acceded to
requests for assistance in guarding
freight along the water front from
the rougher element among the troops.
1t was found that the guards could not
always cope with the unruly minority
and now the customs officers ask the
commanders for help. The result is a
guard of soldiers detailed to help the
custom house guard wherever it is
thought to be necessary.
