Choctaw Brides.

Some quick love making is now go
ing on in the Choctaw Nation, Indian
Territory 1t is estimated that 1000
white men will carry off Choctaw
brides between now and the first of
next month. About 5000 white men
have already won Choctaw brides,a
tie land and money that accompanies
TEN.
The cause of the rush is the recent
announcemnt of the Dawes Commits
sion that after the first of next month
all persons not Choctaws by blood
will not be enrolled on the citizen
ship list. This means no white men
who marry Choctaw women Will be al
lowed to share in the lands and money
of the Choctaw tribe Hence quick
love making on the part of civilized
man.
The Choctaw girls are rather pretty
and some are highly educated. Those
who are net fullblooded refuse to mar
ry Indians, hence there is a great de-
mand for whites thoctaw girls mar
ry at the age of II. Because of their
$50 acres of land (equal amount being
given to their husbands) no trouble is
experienced in finding a suitable com
panion.
The complexion of these girls is
pure white. Their eyes and hair are
black, as a rule, although there are
some perfect blondes. They are of
kind and loving disposition, and are
said by the white men who have tried
to make excellent wives.
To avoid tramps and degenerates
marrying these girls the Choctaw laws
provide that all white men, before they
can be admitted 20 the tribe, must
produce recommendation of good
character from the County Judge of
the county where they last resided
1t is said tnat some of the most
beautiful and popular girls of the
Choctaw tribe have received proposals
of marriage from alleged French and
English men of title, but because they
refused to prove their ancestry they
were rejected.
1t is queer sight to go into Choc-
taw town just now. At the hotels are
stopping at least a dozen men whose
sole business is counting Choctaw
women with the purpose of matrimony
Not long ago. just for fun, Choctaw
girl inserted an ad. in a matrimonial
paper. She received several hundred
answers.-Denver Weekly

THE BUSINESS LIEN NUT woEz

McLean's Election would he n Menace
TO Present Prosperity and Business
Men Must Not Overlook That Fact.
The Le-soh Of 1899 Should Not Go
Unheeded.
The following article from the Amer
lean Israelite of Cincinnati, whose edi-
tor is Rabbi Wise, one Of the ablest
Hebrews of the country i- very fore
ible presentation OF the greatest issue
Of the present campaign. The Ameri-
can Israelite says;
This fall the campaign in Ohio is
looked upon by careful students OF the
situation as the preliminary battle of
the national canvass in 1900. AS such
its effect on business is certain to be
far reaching and important. If the
American people reverse their judg
ment of 1896 by the approval of the
free silver plank of the GAINESVILLE plat
form, and thus virtually repudiate
President McKinley's administration
indorse a 48 cent dollar and turn their
backs upon the prosperous conditions
that now eXist-there is good reason
for believing that the business effect
will be immediate and serious.
For these reasons business men can
not afford to seem Indifferent to the
election three weeks hence. They have

are and rushed with orders as they
have not been in many years, it Is i'm
portant that they still give the time
and attention necessary to a thorough
expression of their interest and exert
their influence actively for the election
of the Republican nominee for gov
ernor, and the entire Republican state
ticket.
THE high character of Judge Nash,
the Republican gubernatorial candi-
date, no less than the principles for
which he stands, should commend him
to every thoughtful voter.
There is Il disposition ON the part
of some business men to feel that the
large interests of Mr.. Mclean make
him safe candidate from a business
standpoint. We have no word of crit
icism of Mr.. Mclean, but the men who
take this view should consider that in
1892, the same feeling was widely eX-
pressed by a large class of business
men. How certainly the results dis
proved their opinions it is not neces-
sary to discuss.
I'VE do not mean to compare Mr..
Mclean and Mr.. Cleveland, but the
effect of Mr.. MeLean's election, it
seems to us, would endanger existing
prosperity. In any event the sensible
view is that it is best to let well
enough alone No one wishes a
change in business conditions. There
is no occasion for any change in po-
litical administration. The present
policies Of the nation are honorable
and the administration, for the most
part, clean. We believe that this is
the general sentiment of the people.
"The only danger is that business
men in the flood tide of prosperity will
lose sight of the necessity for exerting
their influence as fully and as earn
estly as If the result were a national
instead of state campaign. and over
look the wide influence the result in
Ohio will have upon the nation"

Shurz's GroundIess Fears.

Carl Schurz has stepped himself in
anti-expansion lore until he vainly
imagines imperialism, as he terms eX-
pansiOn, a greater evil to the country
than famine, war, pestilence and
few other evils combined. Schurz
has sufficient ability and creative pow
tr to construct terrible bogy, and he
has done it very successfully. But it
is not going to, frighten any one who
will keep his feet on the ground.
Il am of the opinion" he says, that
the greatest danger that now threatens
the Republic is imperialism" How
often have we neard the greatest dan
ger that ever threatened the Republic
story?" High tariff, free trade, free
silver, gold standard immigration
were all in their day to somebody's
mind the greatest danger now threat
ening the Republic" And yet the
Republic grows in strength, in yigor
and in all good things. This country
will always be a Republic, and we can
hold fast to wnat we have, the Philip
pines included, and still be a republic
as enduring and strong as ever There
is too much common sense in the
United States for it ever to be wrecked
by any danger-Nashville American.
