under which the peace is managed
to be kept, everything is chaotic
in the Indian Territory. There
are in the territory seventy thous-
and Indians, and probably three
hundred thousand citizens Of the
United States practically without
political system. The whites
can occupy land only under con-
tract with an Indian, and an In
dian may contract with consent OF
the secretary Of the interior. 1t
is a crime to saw timber and build
houses without the consent OF the
secretary. 1t is crime to sell
your neighbor fuel to keep his
children from freezing. Perman-
ency in land tenures, commercial
enterprises, and generl stability
in all the walks Of life are needed.
This measure will meet the APP
proval of a majority OF The Chero-
kee people,"
Strong objection has been raised
to the bill authorizing the chicka-
saw freed men, 10 the Chickasaw
nation to bring suit in the court Of
claims against the Chickasaw and
Choctaw nations and the United
States, and also authorizing the
Cherokee intruders to bring su1t
against the Cherokee nation, is
meeting with much opposition.
The bill passed the house some
time ago ank was referred to the
committee on Indian affairs Of the
senate for consideration and re-
port. So much opposition has
appeared, howevef, that It is ex-
tremely doubtful whether l. wild
ever>get out Of the committee, and
will probably die natural death
in the pigeon holes Of that branch
Of the senate. - Washington cor

TREATY MAY BE SHELVED
Ore View Of indian Matters
in Washington.

Little has been accomplished Us
the way Of legislation effecting the
Indian Territory during the past
week. la fact lethargy seems to
pervade every portion OF the cspi-
toI and little interestis is evidenced
BY the members Of the futherance
Of the various measures pending
before the committees. Even the
appropriation bill which has been
III conference for six weeks has
not been reported bacK to the two
houses, the conferees still being
in wrangle over some Of tine pro-
visions.
Representative Parker, Of New
Jersey, chairman OF the sub COM
mittee Of the judiciary committee
which has charge otlhe Gains bill
lcreating additional commissioners
pGfices in the territory and increas-
Ing their jurisdiction in certain
dases, expects to submit favor
slble report to the committee at an
early date. He will recommend
t1e modification Of the bill in
many respects, and will probably
submit substitute for the origin
al measure. II is, however 80 late
ia the session that there is no pro-
babiIity that any action vail be
taken upon this bill before con-
eress adiourns for the summer.
The Cherokee treaty is still on
der confederation by the 5eint
com .nittees ofthe house and sen-
ate, bat little progress Is being
made, and il is apparent that It
will rot ibe favorably acted upon
at this session. The amendments
added % the bill BY congressman
Curtis are SO unsatisfactory as
whole that II will be necessary 40
strip the treaty Of these provis-
ions before it can possibly pass
the house and senate. These pro-
visions, which Representative Cur
tis inserted were not contained in
original agreement, and are there
fore meeting with strong opposl-
ton from members ofthe Cherokee
nation.
The senate COMMITTEES on Indian
affairs has iavorably reported the
bill authorizing the Delaware In
dians TO bring suit in the court Of
claims against the federal govern
ment for moneys which the tribe
claims to ts dnelit, for failure on
the part of the federal government
to fulfil the treaty obligations.
The bill also authorizes the Miss
issippi Choctaws to bring suit in
ths court Of claims against the
Choctaw nation to establish their
right TO tribal funds and lands.
Representative Moon Of Tenn

the house providing for a terri

Jefferson, in honor Of the man

chase was secured to the United
States. is pressing the bill in the
committee on territories in the
house. A subcommittee will be
appointed at the next meeting
which will take charge of the ques-

upon it. Col. L. B. Bell, one OF

ARE trusts a good thing for
this country? A few months
ago almost every republican
paper said ''no." That was be-
fore the national conventions.
Now those same republican
papers are silent as the grave on
the trust question. A few OF
them defend the trusts, because
the national republican plat
forms bids for the report of the
trusts. No republican paper
is denouncing trusts. Those
editors know that the trusts are
expected to furnish millions of
dollars for the Mckinley cam
paign fund. They know that
more trusts and combinations
for robbing the people have
been formed during Mr.. McKin-
ley's three years as president
than in all the years since the
Declaration of Independence:
They know that through the
ruthless hands of those corpora
tions the people are robbed with
out redress, and they also know
that the people are beginning to
realize this fact. Yet, they are
too cowardly to even acknowl-
edge that the trusts are con-
scienceless, grasping corpora
tions and a dangerous power in
politics. What do you think
about it, you republican reader?
Will YOU follow the leadership
of cringing partizans who are
afraid to acknowledge the truth?
Will YOU help to put the men
in power who will continue to
favor the formation of trusts
and monopolies? If you will,
what do you gain by it? In
what manner can you figure out
that the arbitrary increase in
the prices of practically all the
necessaries of life will benefit you?
Perhaps you believe it your
duty to continue pay tribute to
those already wealthy because
your party says it cannot afford
to fight those trusts. If SO,
then you should be made to

The populist national ticket is
Bryan and Stevenson. A week
ago the entire republican press
was telling how the populist
national committee would not
put Mr.. Stevenson on to fill the
vacancy. 1t was the republi-
cans last hope. But the com
mittee, by almost a unanimous
vote made Stevenson their nomi-
nee. for vice-president. Now
watch the republican press abuse
the populists for not doing what
they-the republicans-wanted
done.

CREAMERY men are after Ches-
ter l. Longs scalp. He made
them promises two years ago
that he would fight the oleo-
margarine people, and got about
$1,000 votes of patrons in this
district on the strength of his
promises. But when the oleo
bill was up in congress, instead
ofopposing the packing house
schmear people, he favored them,
not only with his vote but in his
speeches. This year comes the
day of reckoning. An effort will
be made to have every patron of
the vast number of creameries
in the 9TH district recognize
Long for what he is, a friend of
all wealthy corporations and a
foe to every farmer and pro-
ducer of dairy stock or dairy
products. If they do this, Long
will loose fully 200 votes in Bar
ton county alone which he got
two years ago. And those votes
will go to the fusion nominee to
be named at Hutchinson on
Sept. 18th, for that nominee will
be a man who will represent the
peole OF the 7th Kansas district
not the Chicago and Kansas
City packing houses.
