nemorial to Congress- i.

The Indian Territory Teachers az
sociation, before adjournment at
Wagner, unanimously adopted the
following:
To the Honorable, the House and
Senate of the Fifty-sixth Congress
of the United States:
We, the teachers of the Indian Ter
ritory, in session at Wagner, 1. t.
Dec. 2s to 80, 1899, do earnestly petit
tion congress to establish at an early
date and maintain at the general
cost system of free public schools
for the benefit of the 40, 900 children
of American citizens in the Territory
the same to be administered under
terms provided, and to be continued
until the conditions shall have so
changed that the people may by tax
alton provide for the support of their
own public schools.
We base this petition upon the fol-
lowing grounds:
1. While provisions exist for the
maintenance of Indian schools and
these are being well administered
under the Curtis act, the children of
other than Iudian citizens are not
entitled to tuition therein. A large
class are thus without public school
privileges-all, in fact, except such
as live in the few incorporated
towns.
2. No tax of any description can
now be levied Except in incorporat-
ed towns, and then upon personal
property. The people are thus help
less as to providing for themselves.
By reason of financial inability and
remoteness from the few private
schools, large number of children
are growing up without education.
We submit that it is cheaper to ledu-
cate them than to maintain a police
system, courts and prisons for the
apprehensions, trial and keeping of
the ignorant and vicious.
3. No fears should be entertained
of forming a precedent. The condi-
tioDs are anomalous-they nowhere
else exist. Congress has the same
right to foster education here by ap-
preparation from general funds that
1t had to give a large area of the gen.
eral domain for the same purposes
in the states.
4. The same considerations that
prompted che governments sympa-
thy for popular educ alton in Puerto
Rico and in other newly acquired
territory appeal more strongly in be-
half of our own people. The train of
evils incident to delay in this impor
tant matter can seemingly be averted
only by the Intervention of congress.
Therefore, for speedy relief by
granting this petition your petition
ers pray.
Adopted by unanimous vote-J. w.
Cooper, @. F. 1rottcr, II. NJ. Butler,
committee; Annie James, secretary.

THEPARIS EXHIBIT.
Outline OF the Phases of Negro
Life Upon Which the Civilized
" orld Wall be Asked to Pass
Judgment.

The United States Commission to
the Paris Exhibition of 1900 has as
signed space in the Social Economy
Building to be used for an exhibit of
the present condition and progress of
the Afro-Amerlcan. According to a
circular issued by special agent Gallo
way, the proposed exhibit includes the
following outline, arranged IN classes:
Education, to include photographs,
samples of work of pupils, literary pro-
ductions, statistical charts, etc., Homes,
Farms, Skilled Trades and Organized
Labor, Domestic Service, Business
Enterprises, Professions, Military Life,
Political Life, Churches, Books and
Periodicals, Music and Art, and Work
of COlOred Women.
The work is progressing nicely, and
when Congress appropriates and makes
available, as it doubtless will, the
$4,000 asked, every detail can be
closed up in short order and the sue.
cess of the exhibit will be assured. The
eyes of the world will be upon the
Negro at Paris this year.

1t will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt
ly cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. This is exactly
what every other family in the United

Right now the Democrats can
show that the United States is
going into bankruptcy. The
expenses for July, 1900, the first
month of the fiscal year were
$4,000, 900 greater than the
receipts. From that it can be
seen that the deficiency for the
wear will be about $4,000, 600.
In July, 1899, the expenses were
SO, 500, 900 larger than the re-
ceipts, aud local and other
Democratic papers proved At
once that the deficiency for the
year would be over 800, 600, 600.
The year, however, showed
the receipts to be greater
than the expenditures by over
800, 100000. But July is the
month for Democrats to figure
.on-and then keep quiet the rest
of the year.

DOUBLE TRACK ST. p. &: D.
Traffic Arrangement With Milwaukf
Contemplates New Track TO- the J
Lake Ports. I

Pioneer Press: The traffic arrange
ment between the Northern Pacific
and the Milwaukee by which the
latter road is to use the tracks pf
the st. Paul & Duluth contemplates
the early double-tracking OF that
road between st. Paul and Duluth.
This is given out by an authority
familiar with the transaction. Ht
was stated at the time Of the sale|0f
the st. Paul & Duluth to the NortAl-
ern Pacific that this might be done,
and it is now believed that negotia-
lions were made between the North
ern Pacific and Milwaukee some
time prior to the transfer Of the
road, on the understanding that II
the Milwaukee did not build an in
dependent line it could have track
privileges over the st. Paul & Duluth
that would amount to an independ-
ent line. This would be accom-.
plished by the double track, and will
give the Milwaukee the use of valu:
able terminals at Duluth which 1t
could not otherwise have obtained.
