dian reservations.
Perry, Oklahoma, Dec. 1.-THE introduce
ton by Senator Chiffon of Texas of a
bill to open the Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache Indian reservations has caused ex-
element among the land boomers. For
the last year homeseekers and others have
been camping near these lands waiting for
the opening hour to come.
The announcement that this new cOun-
try may be opened soon has increased the
number of these landseekers. Another rea-
son for the unusual activity is the fact
that the Wichita mountains, which pass
through these Indian reservations, are re-
ported to be rich with gold. The country
is well adapted to the growing of wheat,
oats, corn, cotton and stock raising. II
is understood that the cattlemen who
have a considerable portion of these lands
leased for grazing cattle, will fight Sena-
tor Chiltons bill.

CHAMBERLAlN
AND AMERICA.

Joseph Chamberlain's leicester speech
continues to form the subject of extended
comment here and abroad.
The New York correspondent of the
London Daily News declares that the
speech has greatly increased the popular
dislike of the Colonial Secretary in the
United States" and that instead of being
an aid, Mr.. Chamberlain is "an almost in
superable obstacle to an Anglo American
alliance"
The London Times, in an editorial
which tries to temper the feeling created
by Mr.. Chamberlain's admittedly "indis'
Greet enthusiasm" says:
Lord Rosebery's criticisms are perfect
ly justified, but it would be ungrateful to
lose sight of the fact that it is due very
largely to Mr.. Chamberlain personal in
fluence that the improved state of feeling
improperly described as alliance and, per
haps, not altogether properly even as 'un-
Outstanding has been brought about be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
and between Great Britain and Germany

lain's language lent itself to misconstruc-

and American newspapers. But in the
case Of America the tendency to union and
cooperation is not likely to be seriously
DISTRACTED by an excess of sensitive appre-
hension at possible meaning attachable

THE VERDICT AGAINST
THE COUNTY.

AS the organ of the substantial and tax
paying citizenship of Charles county, the
Times Crescent chronicles with regret the
verdict of $4,000 rendered in the case of
Nicholas H. Mandanyohl VS.. The County
Commissioners of this county In view
of the fact, however, that the case was
fairly tried, ably defended and the ver-
dict rendered by jury composed In part
Of representative taxpayers, we cannot
doubt that there existed more merit in
the case than one woul have judged
from ante-trial rumors as to the evidence
which the plaintiff would adduce
Whether Mr.. Mandanyohl was under the
influence of liquor, or whether he sustain
ed the injuries alleged without contribu-
tory negligence on Lis ralt, are matters
which do not now enter into the cold
ultimatum that is submitted to the prop
erty holders of Charles county by the
twelve men who have rendered verdict
i'll the plaintiffs favor The truth is that
the hole was in public highway; that an
inefficient negro supervisor left it there
with impunity, and that thereby Mr..
Mandanyohrs 30 cent pipe will cost the
taxpayers of Charles county about $780,
We are Informed that already two other
cases are about to be docketed against the
Commissioners; if such be the case day
of reckoning has come to those who have
used the public road funds here, more
with a view of carrying primaries than
mending highways. The argument that
that road fund is too small to keep the
roads in repair cannot have weight with
the intelligent taSpay yer until, at least, it
is clearly shown that the prescNt limit of
the law is economically and judiciously
expended. That it has not been is known
from the abominable system in vogue
here of entrusting the entire road manage
ment to incompetent hands. The verdict
is simply a forerunner of what will in
evitably follow if the present road policy
is pursued, and we earnestly trust the
Legislature will come to the rescue of
those who must, in common parlance
foot the bills Tile Times Crescent.

Ex-senator Louis c. Carrico, of
Charles county, in a letter to the
Times Crescent, advocates convention
of Southern Maryland Democrats and
taxpayers to discuss matters and Sc
lect five representative citizens from
each county to meet at Annapolis early
during the coming session and tormu-
late and ask for such measures of re-
lief as the good people of the State are
willing to accord to u.s. In speaking
of his own county lie says, that it
needs new road law; modification
of the present system of collecting
taxes and many other things that will
inure to the public good" These sug-
gestions are very sensible. Some con-
certcd action on the part Of the tax
paying citizenship of this portion Of
the State may accen.ulte the fact that
the crude, unbusiness-lihc and ruinons
system of working the public roads is
initiating against the prosperity and
progress of this section, and may thus
help towards the enactment of gen
eral road law and other salutary meas
ules that will eliminate, as far as posi-
bic, politics from the administration OF
local government. General laws are,
as rule, more wholesome and effective,
and, in the opinion of many, one of the
evils of recent legislation in this State
has been the enactment of too many
local laws. Let us get together and
see what can be done.
