Four more weeks and the most
obnoxious portion of the Curtis
law is to be enforced-the section
that makes it a criminal o1ense
for any Cherokee to be in posses
sion Of more than so acres of the
common domain Of the nation.
The order of the secretary is GER
tainly a very arbitrary one, and
one that does rot seem to be war
ranted by the law which it is pre-
sumed to construe. The strict en-
forcement of the so acre edict will
scarcely be attempted, and should
il be attempted will certainly
prove impracticable and a failure.
Itis hard TO conceive of an act that
would deprive any Cherokee cit-
zen of less than his prorata share
of an estate in which he is joint
and equal owner. When it Is as
certained how much land each cit
izen is entitled to hold. then ii
might be possible to limit them TO
that amount, but certainly no
Cherokee should be denied the
privilege of occupying as much
land as would fall to him in case
of a division.

THE WORK OF AN ENEMY.

In all the years of uncertainty,
and threatened disruption through
which the Cherokee people have
passed, there was never time OF
graver apprehension for the future
than the present. If anyone could
foretell what will be the status of
the Cherokees a year hence, they
would be considered a prophet
with superhuman ability. To add
TO the general gloom and discom-
future that must necessarily accom-
pany giving up their system OF
self government enjoyed from time
immemorial, comes the thought
and possibility that justice may
not characterize the work of dis
truction undertaken by the ennis
ssries of the government of the
United States.
The order issued from the de-
partment of the interior, and
which no doubt has the force of
statutory law, to the effect that no
Cherokee be allowed to hold in
his possession more than so acres
of the common domain, brings
with it the unmistakable idea of
injustice and tyranny. That so un-
just and arbitrary an edict should
come from the government pledged
to protect the Indian, staggers him
and shakes his faith and confidence
in the power in whose keeping is
all his hopes, aspirations and am:
billions present and to come. In
the long-drawn struggle in the
courts for the protection of the III
tie to his land that is now in pros
pect, nothing but ultimate and to-
tai defeat can be seen by the
keenest legal eye.
The pound of flesh" demanded
by the ungrateful and avaricious
Delawares, has grown to be the
entire heart OF the victim, and not
content with demanding the life OF
Cherokee nationality, they are now
to assist 10 plundering her of the
meagre heritage of her children.
Like Caesar, the Cherokees have
been stabbed in the house of their
friends, and the "unkindliest cut
OF all" has been administered by
their friends, the Delawares.
In the list of reasons set forth
for the rejection Of the recent
treaty, with possibly one excep-
ton, there was not a single valid
objection urged. Every argument
made against the ratification OF
the treaty came from the enemies
of the Cherokees. The jealous
eye of Oklahoma was allowed to
interfere in what seemed to be d
political separation from ber OF
what she regards as Legitimate
prey. The carpet bag political
machine of Kansas, that has made
the territory a dumping ground for
her political junk in the past was
allowed to present her allsufficient
reasons why the Cherokee should
not be allowed to consummate too
advantageous deal with the gov
ernment. The Standard Oil syndi-
cate with tentscles spread ready TO
fasten upon and devour the pros
pective mineral wealth oftheCherO-
kee nation, was given the patient
ear ofcongress to hear her Objec-
tions to plan that insured protec-
ton in the individual holdings OF
the Indians. So through the whole
catalogue of objections we see the
fine italian hand of the enemy. As
in the parable, the eHemy came by
night and sowed tares in the wheat
and made the crop worthless, so
have the Cherokees creptin and de-
feated an agreement that afforded a
final settlement OF long-standing
difficulties.

ters and sweethearts gathered at the
train to say their last farewells and
there We're scenes that were distressing
to witness, for those that were nearest
realized that in the mission of their
loved ones there were horrors and dan
gers for them to face and many might
not come back, or if they did, that 1t
might be to wear the white scars of
battle for life.
1t was different in Butte yesterday
Nothing transpired TO mark the ami
versary of the momentous occasion and
it is doubtful if it occurred to many
aside from the immediate relatives of
the soldier boys that it was the ami
versary Of the day upon which Butte so
enthused Many things have transpred
since then to cool the peoples ardor.
The boys have done their par in ac-
comprising what they went to war for
and more, and their friends would now
like to see them home. A demonstration
to attest how general is this sentiment
would have been greater yesterday
than the one concentrating the event
of their going.

BUT IT'S DIFFERENT NOW

Just one year ago yesterday Compan-
les B. F and G of the LIST Montana regi-
ment in response to President Mckin-
leys call for volunteers, left Butte for
the regimental rendezvous at Helena to
be mustered in as soldiers of the nation
to help fight the war with Spain. That
was a great day in Butte. No one who
witnessed the scenes of that day Will
ever forget how the city was afire With
patriotism. Thousands of yards of
bunting of the colors the boys were So
ing forth to uphold streamed from ev-
cry housetop and public building. Dur
ing the morning hours all business was
suspended: mines and smelters shut
down to give employees their liberty,
the getting of dollars and cents was ut
terly forgotten as though such a thing
as business was unheard of and peo-
pies minds We're turned to thoughts of
patriotism. With one accord the whole
population turned out to say God
bless and protect you and bring you
safely home to the gallant boys in
blue as they marched away to war.
Such crowds the streets of Butte never
saw before. 1t was estimated that from
$4,000 to 10000 people thronged the
thoroughfares along which the troops
were to march on the way to the rail-
road station. to wave last goodbye
and cheer the brave fellows onward.
Mems thoughts were so engrOssed with
the fiery ardor of war that five regi-
ments instead of three companies could
have been raised in Butte that day had
there been any occasion, for the men
were here who wanted dearly to go.
Never was there such an out of door
offering as that which assembled in
front of the court house. where speeches
were made to the departing soldiers
and they We're told how their action in
offering their services so promptly
when the nation needed soldiers was APP
preciated by those who stayed behind.
Butte's eyes were filled with pride that
morning when the soldiers marched
along and later with tears when it came
to the final leave-oaking. After the
music and the cheering that were in
tended to send the boys away with
buoyant spirits had died out there We're
other scenes. Mothers and fathers, sis

CeSpedess VIII BE President.

New York, May 5-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: General Will
son, who is making visit of inspection
through the added territory now under
his command, is reported to have made
an announcement in his interview at
Cienfuegos with General Miguel Gomez
the civil governor of that city. This was
that the military government proposed to
distribute agricultural utensils to those
VINO needed them to resume the tillage of
the lands, and that the value of the tools
thus advanced could be made good subse-
quently by payments to villages and other
governing boards.
Reports from the tobacco-growing dis
tricts around Villa Clara indicate a much
larger crop for this year than for last the
yield being now estimated at about $4,000
tierces. The quality is excellent, in spite
of unusual early rains.
La Luchas English edition announces
to-day in sensational headlines that Gen
eral Gomez has chosen Colonel Carlos
Manuel Cespedes as future executive
leader of the military party in Cuban pol
tiles. Colonel Cespedes is the son of the
president of the Cuban republic and
served in the Instruction on General Ca
lixto Garcia's staff. He is a native of
Santiago province and is considered one
of the abest young men in the revolu-
tionary movement. He is at present a
member of the committee assisting Cen
eral Gomez in winding up the affairs of
the insurgent military organization.
Colonel Cespedes. La Lucha says, with
prophetic foresight. is already practically
nary observers is already practically
nominated and elected president of the
prospective Cuban republic. American po-
litical methods are apparently coming
rapidly into favor with Cuban students of
the art of popular government.

A Verdict of Not GUILTY.,

Salt Lake. May 5.--The jury in the case
of eX-Banker J. NJ. Stout, formerly pres
ident of the Utah National bank, brought
in a verdict tonight of not guilty. The
case has been on trial all the week. The
specific charge was that Stout had made
false returns to the comptroller of the
currency. The prosecution attempted to
show that the signature to certain note
signed ]. H. Hedges was a forgery. Upon
this point the defense made the argument
to show that the signature was genuine
and that the bank had such assets as were
required under the national banking law.
