How much self-governor the Indian
has been is best shown in the history Of
the Cherokee. He is the highest type
not only Of the five tribes, but also
OF the North American aborigines. He
Is the only one that can boast Of a writ
ten language. He has had schools,
academies and seminaries and higher
percentage OF education than some OF
the states. All the ups ard downs of
the five tribes, and their melancholy
experience with self-government, have
been shared by him. The Cherokees
strip. occupying the northeastern por-
ton of the territory. comprises the ex-
tensive area of FIVE million acres, ysh' 'ch
are of the most fertile soil in the great
southwest. The white man has pene-
trated into the district, has fixed his
foot there. has smothered his con-
science and his decency so far as to
marry the Cherokee woman only that
he may become the part owner OF the
Cherokee land, says a writer in Aims
lees Magazine. From the Cherokee,
as from all the others. Is now demanded
that he yielded his control OF his own
affairs to the Intruder, and that he
sacrificed his Indian nature upon the
altar Of Caucasian progress.
According TO the allotment rolls OF
the Cherokees themselves. as revised
from time to time by the department OF
the interior. there are N all 81, 800 In the
nation, subdivided as follows:

The Cherokee lands, like those of
the ether nations. are owned in COM
mon, as are their invested funds The
government has never placed them up
on the full basis of individual indepen-
dence. or spent much time IN teaching
them by Sloyd's system. The invested
funds OF s5.000,000, which the tribe owns
as tribe have been held by the United
States in the form OF government
bonds bearing per cent. interest, and
the lands have been allowed TO the men
and women of the tribe only in a quasi
ownership. The name of each membet
appears upon the allotment rolls. and,
theoretically. he IL entitled to his pro
rata when the lands and the funds are
finally divided. But the Indian cannot
deed away his land. He may acquire
a sort of occupying ownership Of all he
cares to fence or improve, and he may
derive rentals from the leasing OF IL,
but he cannot lawfully make over the
title to others.

METHODS. HERE AND ABROAD,
Ways OF Steering Boats in England
France and Germany.

Ways OF Steering Boats in England,
France and Germany.
A comparison of the different meth
DDS of doing what is practically the
same thing in various parts Of the
world is both interesting and amusing
to the thoughtful observer, says Cas-
sier's Magazine. On American ferry
boats the import Is well known Of the
'''ting-ting" or .'jiigle-jingle" Of the bell
by which the man in the wheelhouse
communicates with his fellow-mortal
In the engine room. On the Thames,
however, it would be considered practi-
cally impossible to convey information
in this manner, and the captains Of the
small paddle steamers on that stream
stand on the paddle-boxes and sing
out Ease er!" Back 'er!" etc.,
apparently to nobody in particular,
while these interesting remarks are
promptly repeated in shrill tones by a
small boy into speaking tube which
communicates with the lower regions.
On the Seine, in France, this process is
simplified and large trumpet-shaped
mouthpiece flares out in front of the
man at the wheel, and he yells his COM
mands into this funnel, the other end
of which is supposed to reach the en-
gineer. The large steamers on the
Rhine, in Germany, are controlled, not
by the usual wheel placed in the wheel
house forward, but by a very large
wheel on vertical axis, placed right
amidships upon an elevated platform
or bridge, and several men pass the
handles from right to left, or upon ocr
casion trot round in a circle, and it
would doubtless be considered a serious
temptation of Providence, or at least a
reflection upon the fatherland, If any
one were to attempt to construct a
Rhine steamer with the ordinary form
of steering gear.
