Mr.. Inga Is Great speech.

Mr.. NJ. f. Ingalls,, presi-

who addressed the two liter
AIRY societies of the college at
finals, made the decided hit
OF the celebration. OF all the
speeches made ON these Occa-
siOns within the past ten
years, that OF Mr.. Ingalls,
takes the lead. We have
heard more compliments
paid it than any other. and
its effect has proven almost
magical. Mr. Ingalls, may
not consider himself an ora
tor, but his speech at Will
liam and Mary last Thurs
day has made for him an
enviable reputation at the
college and in the little city
OF Williamsburg.
There were no attempts al

President Ingalls,, but q
straight toward, practical
business talk from the leading
man of his profession to-day
His words sank deep into the
minds OF young and old and
will be used as a text by
many who heard il. While
none may never be the presi-
dent OF the two greatest rail
roads OF the country, Mr.. In
galls has helped to make
some student a great bust
ness man in one line or an
other.
We trust that next year
the young gentleme of the
College will remember that
the great need OF the day is
for practical business men,
and select such an one TIC
to advise them as they leave
their alma mater to fight the
great battle OF life. What @
pity we have SO few such
men as NJ. L. Ingalls, in this
country.

with this nefarious suggestion.
That man naturally so good and
great and ainiable should ever al
low himself to be whipped into
such a reprehensible line of policy
is truly a matter much to be de-
plored.
There is only one honest way to
deal with the elephant now upon
hand. Since the old agreement
has proved failure, just as it
ought to have done, let the nation
go to work, Gf the government
please, } and make a new one-one
that shall be in accord with COM
mon sense and fair play. Let the
council appoint new commission,
and be sure to keep off of it-clean
off of it-every thing that looks
like, or smells like, the represent
alive of private greed, external
syndicates, and internal combina-
tions. And when the thing is
completed, then give it to the peo-
pie again and ask them to say
whether it will do or not. Any
other course than this in the prem
ises, is treason. Too QUA-sTEE.

UNITED STATES COURT.
Daily Grist of Proceedings in the
Federal Tribunal.

The Burl Cox murder case,
which has been on call since Mon
day, and which has been attract
ing considerable attention, was
disposed of this morning. Cox
plead guilty to the charge OF man
slaughter and was sentenced to 10
years in the penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. tbs believed
by some of the witnesses and pos
sibly by many of the reading
public who are familiar with the
circumstances of this case, that
Cox Jared better by entering plea
of guilty to manslaughter than he
would to have gone to trial. He
had always been considered very
good citizen in his country ana
seemed to have to number of SYM
pathizing friends in his trouble.
He was among the parties convict
ed year ago in the fraudulent
Creek warrant cases, and he has a
term Of FIVE years to serve in the
pen on that charge before the SEN
tence given him today will begin.
He was fined 81 900 in addition to
the Imprisonment in the man
slaughter case.

ANENT THE AGREEMENT.
Conditions Have Changed Since It
Was Ratified.

Chlei Bu1lngton, IN his late mes
sage to the national council, speak
ing in reference TO the Muskogee
agreement, says: 81 submit this
treaty to you with the recommen-
dation that you extend the time OF
its ratification BY the congress OF
tie United States" When this
agreement was submitted to the
people for their approval at the
polls, it contained the provision
that the same must needs be rati-
fed by congress not later than the
4th day Of March next following;
otherwise it should go for naught.
The time limited expired and the
agreement was left unratified.
The condition upon which its ex-
istence depended was not complied
with; it was therefore. as far as
the Cherokee people were con-
cerned, just as dead as if it had
never lived. 1t was of no more
binding force than the blank pa
per before the agreement was
written upon it. Thatis the dis
honored, impotent condition in
which it is now lying. But the
Chief now asks the council to sex
tend the time for its ratification"
that is, be asked the council to
sustain and enforce certain set
of stipulations which the people
have by an overwhelming major
ity, repudiated at the polls. That
majority, from the time the vote
was counted down TO the 4th day
of March, stood as an endorsement
Of those stipulations;but when that
day passed without the prescribed
ratification, that same majority
ceased to be reckoned In favor of
the agreement, but opposed to il;
because, after that date, it was not
the thing they voted for. Those
who voted for the agreement were,
Of course, prior TO March 4th, in
favor Of it; but now, if they really
meant what they voted, they are
against it. Those who voted
against it, were, prior to the elec-
