ditors would need to have but closed their
eyes to imagine Hamlet on the stage,
50 much did his speech partake Of that in
his trnpersona ton OF the melancholy Dane
His actions throughout the play savored
of his familiarity with the Shakespearean
drama, and only at times did he put into
the part the fire which must have been a
leading characteristic of such a man as
the revolutioniSt officer.

won out in his fight against the bank

fact that it was recommended by Gov

Tuesday afternoon in the house COM

ing an hour and a half
Mr. Wright Of Lyon opened the fight
on the bill by moving to strike out its
enacting clause Mr.. Geissler, the in
PRODUCER Of the bill and chairman Of
the banking committee, Immediately
took the floor in defense Of the bill
When Mr.. He6ebOwer turned over
the state treasury he said. there was

it should be distributed over the state

Mr.. Dawes spoke against the bill He
claimed that there was great danger

more in the way Of exchange under the

It has been mildly suggested
that nothing be said about the
freedman steal of s400, 600 during
the campaign this summer. The
only people who can hope TO be
benefited by such silence are those
who were mixed up in the theft, or
partook of the plunder. The
Cherokee people will hardly want
to elect any of that gang Of public
pilferers to Office this summer.

beginning to be heard, and as the
candidates for chief are beginning
to come out as it were, from their
places Of hiding, it were good
time for the Cherokee nation to
put its ear to the ground and lis
ten for the rumbling Of the decis-
ion Of the supreme court in that
big batch of citizenship cases to be
handed down and promulgated
within few days. The chances
are that it will be a good deal like
Judge Springer's decision not long
ago in the same class OF cases, and
thatit will cover every phase of the
subject of citizenship in the Cher
okee nation. 1t will doubtless be
a kind of an "omsibus" decision.
The individual deposits of the

the Chickasaw National was the
First National, of Vinita, which
had deposits to the amount Of

National. Nor was this statement
