THE VICTORY!
From the Milford chronicle Of Yesterday.

From the Milford Chronicle OF Yesterday.
The seating Of the six Union Repubi-
cans at the National Convention, held at
Philadelphia, was death dealing blow
10 the du Pont faction III this state, and
bids are now being received tor the con-
tract OF writing fitting epitaph TO place
at the head OF the deceased.
The Union Republicans realizing that
their cause was just, have been spnrted
forward in the bitter contest by this fact,
knowing there could be but one termina.
I on-vlctory
Wiling to submit to any fair PROPOSE
tion proposed by the Committee, VINO
were trying to bridge the gulf which
separated the two hostile parties, while
on the other hand the ''bouers" iling
TO accept nothing but that which would
bring u r defeat to the Republican
party i'll Delaware, the Addicks men
have iet during tue entire fight, that
they had the sympathy OF nearly the
who!e convention, and that right would
eventually triumph. Every tie existing
b-tween the du Pont faction and the
National Republican party has been cut,
and they will receive no support from
out OF the State, and very little, if any
within.
Let every true Republican now rally
to the-front aud take part in the glorious
victory which awaits the Republican
part in Delaware next November.

Edward Addicks and Anthony, Higgins.
He is less Objectionable to the Union Re-
p iblicans than any OF the men who have

remains to be seen what the Union Re
pub!icans can do and will do at the COM
ing election to redeem The IT tie rom
Democratic rule. We want to tell the
Republicans of this State something they
probably do not know, and that is, If
The Democrats are successful at the COM
ing election, law similar to that passed
in Kentucky will be passed in Delaware,
disfranchising colored voters. BY this
means tine Democrats hope to gain control
OF the political machinery in the State I +
the next twenty years. The above is NO
idle boast nor printed to scare dlscon-
tented Republicans into voting the ticket

cans whether they would rather see the

Handy and John G. Gray making our

THE ADDICKS VICTORY.

+ ON the Dow Index OF Yesterday.
The complete victory of the Addicks'
forces in the Philadelphia Convention
has taken many Delawareans entirely by
surprise. True, the Union Republicans
have been predicting confidently the
result, but so many of their past predic-
tons were falsified by the results that
little credence was given them. As it
tuTns out, nevertheless, they were right
in their boasts.
The whole matter is one which direct
ly affects Republicans and they alone
can determine what the outcome will be.
The Regulars have been unceremon.
iously driven from the position OF the
recognized Republican organization and
the Union Republicans have been given
this place.

GRIGGS ON TRIBAL TAXES
Full Text Of the Opinion of
the Federal Attorney
General.
aRIees' OPINION.


The Honorable, the Secretary OF
the Interior: Sir-I have the
honor to reply to your note oil
August 13, 1900, requesting my
official opinion upon several ques.
tions there stated, arising from
conditions now existing in the In
dian country occupied by the five
civilized tribes of Indians, and
which conditions are. in substance,
thus: A. ~
Without referring specially to
the tax legislation OF those Indian
nations, they generally require
that persons not citizens or men,
bers of any Indian tribe who re,
side or carry on certain kinds OF
business within their limits, shall
procure and pay for permit or
license to do so. +
Many persons of this description
have bought under the act Of con-
gress referred to below, lots in the
towns and cities in these nations,
and many Of them are engaged. in
mercantile, professional and other
business, and refuse to pay such
tax, claiming among other reasons,
that the act Of congress referred to,
in authorizing. the sale Of such lots
to persons not Indians or connec-
ted with any tribe, has recognized
the right to so purchase and to re-
side and carry on business on said
lots, and has exempted them from
such tax.
III addition to this, vast herds
Of cattle, owned BY persons not
citizens of such nation, nor con-
nected with any Indian tribe, are,
by their owners, kept and graEed
upon the public lands Of these
nations, and the owners refuse to
pay the tax imposed on account
thereof; and the questions pro-
pounded relate chiefly to the power
and duty of the department of the
interior to enforce payment Of
these taxes, and to remove from
the limits Of such nation. as in
truders, those who refuse payment
thereof. On account of the num-
Der of persons, the vast amount Of
property and the consequences in
volved, the question is, as you sug-
gest, one Of great magnitude and
importance.
PERSONS WHO ARE EXEMPT.
Without referring especially to
the different treaties with these In
dian nations, it may be stated that
they provide that all persons not
citizens of such nations or memb-
ers Of any Indian tribe found with
in the limits of such nation should
be considered as intrudefs, and be
removed from and out of same by
the United States. From this
class of intruders are exempted the
employees of the government and
their families and servants; en-
ployes Of any internal improve
ment company; travellers and
temporary sojourners; those hold
ing permits from any Of the Indi-
an tribes to remain within their
limits, and white persons, who,
under their laws, are employed as
teachers, mechanics, or skilled
in agriculture"
"It is apparent, therefore, that,
save the excepted classes, no one
not a citizen or member Of tribe
can be lawfully within these limits
without Indian permission, and

is much like that Of federal
license to manufacture and sell
spirituous liquors, which, while
good as against the ~ United States,
ccnferres no right where such
manufacture and sale are forbid
den. This act was passed with
the full knowledge Of these laws
of the Indian nations, approved
by the president and having the
full force Of laws, and. bad con-
gress intended to nullify these
laws or take away the power to
enact them, or to exempt the pur-
chasers of lots or any other per-
sons from their operation, it is
quite safe to say it would have
done SO by provisions very differ
from these in the act of 1898.

follows that the same power that
can refuse to grant such permits
sion can equally impose the terms
on which tits granted.
$50 far as concerns the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations (and the
same rule applies to the others)
this question was passed upon by
my predecessor, Attorney General
Wayne McVeage, who held (17 Ops
134) that such permit and license
laws, with their tax are valid and
must be enforced. This same doc.
trine was held by Attorney Gem
eral Phillips in IS Ops, "a. Both
these obinions are cited by
the Indian Territory court of ap-
peals in Maxey vs.. Wright, 81 s.
W. Repr., S07, which distinctly
afiirms the validity of this legisla,

opinions and have no doubt that
it is competent for those Indian

from it's operation.
This was. also decided d in the
case referred to. So far as affects
any question here, that statute
provides a plan for the organiza-
tion Of cities and towns TOR the
sale Of town and city lots
and the extinguishment Of Indian
title. This last has not yet been
consummated, but as said court,
in Maxey vs.. Wright, supra, de-
cided January s, 1909, The Indian.
title to such lands still remains in
them and it is yet their country
NO EXEMPTION RIGHT.
But, however, this may be. and
even if the Indian title to the par
ticular lots sold has been extin.
guished, and. concedings that the
statute authsrixes the purchase Of
such lots by an outsider, and rec
ognizes his right to, do so, the re-
suit is still the same, for the legal
right to purchase land within an
Indian nation gives to the pur-
chaser no right Of exemption from
the laws Of such nation, nor does
it authorize him to do any act in
violation of the treaties with such
nation. These laws requiring
permit to reside or carry on busi-
ness in the Indian country existed
long before and at the time this
act was passed. And if any out
slider saw fit to purchase town lot
under this act of congress, he did
SO with the full knowledge that he
could occupy it for residence or
business only by perm:ssion-from
the Indians. l do not say that
congress might not violate its
treaty promises and authorize the
outside world to enter upon and
occupy the lands of the Indians
without their consent, but do say
that provisions very different from
any contained in this act would be
required TO justify the imputalion
OF any such intention. All that
this act does 10 this respect is to
give the consent Of the United
States to such purchase. with the
assumption that the purchaser, IL
be wishes to occupy, will comply
with the local laws, just as in
othar casas. The United States

A number of pigeons are now official
ly recognized by the British Admiralty
and form part of the naval force, states
writer in the New Penny Magazine.
Whale Island at Portsmouth is the
headquarters of the homing pigeons
belonging to the navy-the birthplace
of the birds supplied by other lofts at
Davenport, Malta and Hong Kong.
This particular feature of the Royal
Naval Barracks was introduced in
1893 at the instigation of Capt. Login,
who was then the commanding officer
and has been developed and brought to
its present state of efficiency by that
gentleman's successor, Capt. Bayly.
The cost of keeping the blrds-about
f2 per month-was betrayed by the
officers and men. The pigeons are
used, of course, for the conveyance of
messages, of which several thousand
have been received since the establish
ment of the loft. There is electric COM
munication between the huge cote and
the buildings, so that when bird EN-
tiers its domiclle 1t causes a bell to ring
and so announces its arrival. Many of
the mlssives brought by the pigeons
have been of great importance, and
have been telegraphed to the Admiral
ty. Some of the birds, too, have done
excellent performances. The flight
from Jersey has often been made in
two hours; but the record" at least
for distance, is from n ship off tile
Eddystone, 1S2 miles away-a big ely"
that was accomplished in three and a
half hours.

said, Il think of the experience of
Gen. Sherman when he went to Europe
after the war was over. OF course he
was paid all the honors due his rank
and soon was so used to the local af-
fairs that he always had his uniform
at hand so as to put 1t on suddenly If
necessary.
zone day In Dublin, ireland, he took
nap and was awakened by a band
coming down the street near the no
tel. 1t was playing Marching Through
Georgia. He hastily rose. It's crowd
of Americans, thought the general,
who have heard was here, and, hast
lily putting on his uniform, he decked
| himself up to suit the occasion. The
band playing Marching Through
Georgia came up to the hotel. Playing

cd past the hotel, and, still playing

peared into the next street.
SHERMAN" said the veteran, "called
the man who waited upon him as a
servant.
"'Did you hear that band playing
as 1t went by?" said Sherman, utterly
at loss to know why the band had
gone past the hotel.
81 did, said the servant, 1T is a fine
old air. General. | remember when |
was to school 1t was the fayorite air of

out by inquiries that the Irlshman was
right, that the air of Marching
Through Georgia was an Irish tune

The height of the chair you sit in
while writing and that of the desk you
write at are matters of some impor-
lance. Every person who writes habit
ually ought to have a chair specially
made TO suit his or her height, and the
seat of the chair should be exactly one
quarter of your height from the floor.
Thus, II you are six feet high, the chair
seat should be eighteen inches. The
width OF the seat should exactly equal
Its height, aud 1t should slope back
ward three.quarters of an inch to the
foot. The back should be a trlfe higher
than the seat and sloped slightly, not
too much. Finally, your desk should
be two-thlrds as high again as the seo
Of your chair. Thus, II your chair son
Is twenty-four inches, the desk sbould
be forty inches In height. When Won
have attended to all these little details
you can sit and write all day without
feeling that backache that comes from
chairs and desks that don't fit you.
