FIXING THE TINE or OPENING
Quotations From the Law
Setting Forth the Time
For Opening Kiowa
Reservation.

We are often asked when will
the Kiowa and Comanche reser-
yation open. In answer to this
we do no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved By the Presi-
dent June 6, 1900. That law
says:
That all allotments of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior to
said Indians within ninety days
from the passage of this Act, sub
ject TO the exceptions contained
in article fuor Of said treaty; pro-
vided. That the time for making
allotments shall in no event be
extended beyond six months from
passage of this Act.
Another question that is often
asked us: VIII townsiles be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
ments. In answer to this we
again quote the law.
-'sWhen said allotments of land
shall have been selected and tax
en- as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, the
titles thereto shall be held ID
trust for the allotIees, respective
ly. for the period of twenty five
years, in the time and manner and
to the extent provided for in the
act of congress entitled San act
to provide for allotment of land
in severalty 10 Indians on the var
ious reservations, apd to extend
the protection of the laws of the
United States and Territories
over the Indians and for other
PURPOSES" approved FebTna-y
2S. 1891.
"And al the expiralions OF said
period Of % years the titles there
to shall be conveyed in fee simple
to the allotees or the heir, free
from all incuberances.

The Treatr AS Rntiiied.

As, hitherto, we have aralyzed the
Hay Pauneefote Treaty in the shape in
which 1t was ratified by the Senate yes
terday, it is unnecessary to go all over the
same ground again this afternoon. The
treaty as It stands, and as il will &C TO the
British Government for consideration, and
acceptance or rejection, is, TO put it plain
y, a disappointment After all the ground
and lofty tumbling Of our pretended
American Senator's, and all the fierce in
Fectiye In which they have INDUCED, they
save finally endorsed a treaty which for
bids US 10 fortify an American inter-
oceanic canal, and forbids US ever 10 ac-
auire an inch of territory IN Central
America, irrespective OF whether the
.sthmus might some day wish annexation,
without the consent of England. which
las violated and defied the same principle
under the Clayton Bulwer Treaty.
The Senate has been as weak in this
matter a. the Administration has been
wicked. The interpoIated declaration that
the ay-Pauneefote Treaty supersedes the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty is the presenta-
ton Of sugar teat TO the infant OF popu-
lar outcry. OF course it supersedes the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, but. unhappily. it
does not abrogate the detestable terms Of
that exploded. dead. and buried agreement
which, on the contrary, It resurreets and
makes alivei

CongressEaen Believe the Supreme

IN Congressional circles the belief is

The Administration processes to be very
confident that the decision VIII be in IA
vor OF the continuance Of its policy. The
confidence OF the Administrations fol-
lowers in the Senate and House. however,
has been rudely shaken BY the attitude
Of former Presidents Benjamin Harrison
and Grover Cleveland. both Of whom have
great weight with the Supreme Court and
by the fact that Attorney General eriggs,
during his argument On Wednesday. was
piled with apparently hostile questions BY
Justices Brewer, Harlan White, and
Brown. If these judges are hostile TO The
Administration position and all of the
others are agreeable to the Administra
tons position it leaves narrow majo
ity of one vote. It is recalled that Pr 81
Shiras. and Brown and President Cleye-
land appointed Justices Fuller. White, and
Peckham. While no one expects that any
of these judges is likely to be Influenced
by opinions entertained by the distin-
guished former Presidents who placed
them on the bench. 1t is, nevertheless. an
interesting fact that two-thirds of the
Justices Of the Supreme Court owe their
appointments to former Presidents who

Illinois Senator Gone Home to Look
After His Reelection.
Senator Cullom left for his home in nli-
nois last evening. The senator viii not
return until the Legislature in Spring
field has settled the question of who is to
be his successor. This time Senator
culIom will meet 18th pronounced oppo-
sition. Instead Of having an open field.
as he did six years ago. he finds num-
Governor Tanner announced some time
ago that he was . candidate for the Sen
atorship, and the friends of the Governor
at once went to work with the result Of
securing sufficient pledges to prevent
Senator cullom's nomination in the eau
Gus on the first ballot. And it is claimed
that unless Gull om can get the caucus
nomination on ihe first ballot he win be
/ defeated.
The announcement that Governor Tan
ner had entered the Senatorial race had
the effect of bringing out other candi-
dates, well and favorably known, hota-
bly, among them Representative Cannon,
Chairman Of the House Committee on Ap-
preparations. and Representative Hit,
Chairman OF the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. These two :yentiemen have been
IN Congress fer a number OF years. and
| they WELD power Of influence in IIIi-
nois politics. IN addition to these there
are several receptive candidates. who
viii announce themselves the moment q
deadlock occurs in She caucus
The receptive candidates are Represen-
tative Albert J. Hopkins and Representa-
tive Fespasian Warner. These gentlemen
are war horses in the game OF politics
and they hail from districts that furn-
ISL unhroken Republican majorities Mr..
Hopkins was favorably mentioned as a
candidate for Governor last summer But
the element that lends zest TO the Sena-
( tOrial fight is the claim advanced by the
members of the Legislature who come
from the southern part Of Illinois.
The contention is made that the time
has arrived when The south OF the State
should be honored with the Senatorship-
The middle and the northern sections of
Illinois have furnished the Senator's for
long term Of years, and now, ii is as
serted, is the opportunity for the southern
part OF the state 10 capture the Sena-
terial plum
The only name thus far mentioned as
the one TO be presented to the Lezisla-
ture as the choice OF southern Illinois
IS Representative George W Smith of
Nurpnysnoro. He is called the Tom Plat
of southern Illinois, and is power in
that section Of the State. So far as known
he has not announced his position in the
fight. It IS asserted by those on the inside
that Cullom aus Tanner, IN the event OF
deadlock, viii throw their influence to
Smith rather than see Hit or Cannon win
The Illinois delegation IN the House is
considerably split oa the question OF the
Senatorship. All the Republican members
are hoping that the Senatorial lightning

Tl.e Kianaping Industrr.

We are much mistaken if a new and
profitable infant industry is not about to
be added TO the many which have SO
vastly enriched a select circle of Ameri-
can citizens during the past generation.
This view is justified by the undeniable
TACT that one business success inevita-
bly, leads to Imitation. where the parti-
euiar interest IS not safely monopolized
IN advance. Whether fortunately or
otherwise there does not seem to be any
way in which the kidnapping industry
could be organized into private monop-
oily. Unlike oil, sugar, tobacco, run, and
some other of "our best business inter
ests,' il appears TO be exceptionally sub
feet to The laws of competition. and not
susceptible Of capitalization into an oc-
tupus trust under the genial and In
yiting laws Of New Je:sey.
Tie eminent success which has attend
ed the first development of the Industry

The Cudahy case shows eonclusirely
