COLONIZATION SCHEME.


One w. J. Lyon, of the City OF
Mexico, credited with being the
agent of the Mexican government,
has for months been working on a
scheme to have the Cherokee In
dians, the Choctaws, the Chicka-
saws and SeminoleS sell their rights
in the Indian Territory and remove
to Mexico. He claims that 1000 Cher
okees, 10000 Creeks, 6,OOO Choc-
taws. 1900 Chickasaws and l,oOO
Semiuoles, have signed an agree
meut to 90 to Mexico, and that
more will follcw.-Arkansas Demo
crat.
Now, since Mexico is so anxious
for all kinds of people, Indians, Nor
mons, etc, we suggest that the
American Congress see if it can not
be induced to take all of our ne
groes, estimated at some sixteen
millions. This country could well
afford to pay Mexico two hundred
million of dollars to take them of
our hands. In few years the
"coons" would become assimilated
with the Mexicans and greasers,
and that country become greatly in
creased in population BY all means
let some of our congressman see il
such a colonization scheme can not
be consummated.

FERRY APPRAIsEMENT.
The Appraisers Disagree-Two Reports
Will Be Made.

VIII Be Made.
II was currently rumored on the
streets yesterday that the ferry APP
praisers would make two reports-a
majority and a minority report. Mr.
Cromwell, failing to agree with tho
other members of the committee. will
make minority report. Mr.. Cromwell
was one of the appraisers for Gill and
Thomas. AT the meeting OF the Council
Tuesday night the clerk was asked II
he had the report in hand and re-
piled NO" but 1t seems that 1t came
in later. 1t Is believed that the ru
mors are true: in fact. figures, etc., are
mentioned, and the appraisement is
placed at 100000 less than the appraise-
ment made by Gill & Thomas ap-
praisers. reductions being as follows:
The steamer City OF Portsmouth.
which in the first apprasement was
valued at 1000, drops TO S32. 600: the
Twin City drops from $4,000 to $4,000
the City of Norfolk drops from s1s0OO
TO $4,000: the Elizabeth from $4,000 to
$4,000. The Manhassett, valued at ST.
$50. is cut out of the last appraisement
entirely. The depreciation in boats
amounts to si3.o50. The depreciation of
stationary property is Sl6.150.
The Gill & Thomas appraisement wac
Sl62. 530i2. Deducting $50 600. Sl02. $40. AZ.
This is Sl.150 more than the appraise-
ment of 1882
The Ferry Committee of the Council
was instructed to open both apprase-
ments. and after considering them. to
report to the Council. which will be
done at meeting to be held within the
| next ten days.
The Finance Committee desiring such
| to make allotments for the various
committees for the year. at this meet
| ing the ferry question will be discussed
Just how or when the matter will end

MUST HAVE MONEY!.

Under this head will be found the adj
vertisement of the well-known and re-
liable clothier. Mr. John a. Morris. Mr.
Morris states that for the next four
days his entire stock of mems, youths
and boys clothing and Summer shirts
will be sold at marvelously low prices,
in order to convert same into cash, as
he must have money. This is an extra
ordinary offering and should be taken
advantage of by the public. You should
remember that this offer only holds
good for four days, commencing this
morning, and you should govern your
self accordingly. The reputation of this
we'll known firm for honesty and square
dealing is too well-known to require
any endorsaton from us. A careful
examination of the advertisement will
give you all the necessary information.
