becoming citizens of the United States. but
they will have to be reconciled eventually.
The tribal government of each OF the five
civilized tribes is practically small re-
public, with its governor. or head man, and
two legislative assemblies corresponding 10
the Senate and House of Representatives.
I'VE do not expect to obtain certain
laws for the Territory inside of three years
at least. Various preliminary matters will
have to be arranged before this can be
done There is considerable difference OF
opinion among the white inhabitants OF
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as to the
advisablity of forming State. There are
at present between four and five hundred
thousand white people in Indian Territory,
while the entire Indian population
amounts to only nine hundred thousand.
A great number of the white settlers have
inter-married with the Indians.
There is a mistaken notion, even out
West, that, upon the granting OF State
rights TO the Territory, there will be an
opportunity for a great rush of money
seekers, as was the case in Oklahoma.
This, however, is not true, for every
inch of ground in the Territory will be the
property of some Indian who will have
titled right to the same. OF course. the
Indians may, in this event, sell their land,
which at present they are unable to do,
but l scarcely think this probable.

TAKE THE PLEDGE.
strong Drink Abjured by south
RethIebeu,'s Entire Force.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM. Pa, March 29-
The whole police force has sworn on. IL
dividuaIly and collectively it has taken q
pledge to abjure strong drink. And what
is more. the round dozen men who are the
guardians of the town are proud OF 1t.
They are going about with blue button
pinned onto their uniforms as warning
to everyone that they will no longer look
upon whisky when it is red and beer when
it foams.
The very thought of a police force united
against drinking has made the townspeo-
pie gasp. and several New York travelling
men have bolted the town, fearful not of
the policemen but of their own UNDER
standing.
The reason for this outburst of virtue
is found in the fact that Col. Fl. II. Hadley,
of the Water Street Mission New York,
and Colonel Jones, his associate, have been
conducting a temperance revival, and they
great enthusiasm. They are working un-
der the auspices of the Christian Abstain
ers' Union, of New York.
An officer who was on duty in the hall
was the first to take the pledge When
he asked for a blue button. which is the
successor of the famous blue ribbon OF ao-
stinence. there was wild enthusiasm. Yes
terday the other members of the force foi-
lowed in his footsteps.
A. P. Broughal. the Chairman OF the
Police Department, is total aostainer'
and he is simply bubbling over with de-
light.
SaIoonkeepers are In great state OK per-
turbation over this unexpected OPP
ment. The temperance reform :
doing them enough damage, and &c ..--,e
the police go back on them makes them
fear for their livelihood. AS for the po-
lieemen themselves, one said last night:
We'll, I suppose that the boys who hit
the booze thought il was best TO shut
off. The speakers in the Opera House had
good deal to do with it. / think the
boys have shut off for good. AS far as
am concerned I mean to stick to the blue
button"

between the other civilized tribes. has for
its object the allotment in severalty OF all
land in Indian Territory, instituting con-
veyancing deeds for this purpose so that
the Indians may have the clear title TO
their real estate
Agreements of the same nature have been
made and ratified between the Government
and the Choctaw, Chickasaw. and Seminole
nations and the Dawes Commission. and
upon the completion OF the pending nego-
tiations between the Greek and Cherokees
the committee will so to Indian Territory
and continue its work there.
Several Indian delegates appointed to
represent the interests of their tribes are
yet here General Porter was accompan-
led to Washington by five minor delegates,
four of whom have returned to their home.
Chief Burlington and four delegates repre-
sent the Cherokees, Capt. J. S. Standley
represents the Choctaws. and Holmes Col
bert the Chickasaws. There is no delegate
here in behalf of the Seminoles.
The ratifying Of these negotiations
said A. S. McKennon a member of the
Dawes Commission, lis simply preparato-
ry to the abolition of tribal government IN
the Indian Territory and the substitution
in its stead of a regular form Of govern
ment such as is enjoyed by citizens of the
States.
The Commission Is now making out the
rolls Of citizenship Of the sixty-fve tribes
in the Indian Territory, and when the I'll
tied right of land is given to all these In
dians the first important step in the ac-
complishment of our purpose will be ef-
fected.
The present allotment of land per capi-
Ia among the various civilized tribes is as
follows: Creeks, 200 acres; Seminolel,
1908 acres; Cherokees. 120 acres; and the
Chocktaws and Chickasaws. who share
their lands jointly. $50 acres. This per
capita allotment means the share of land
which falls to each man, woman and
child on the reservation, should equal di-
visions of land be made among the whole
tribe.
The Indians, however, while having a
full right TO settle upon the land have no
real property right TO the same except as
10 any improvements which they may
choose 10 make.

together harmoniously, the Indians COM
planned at times that they were being in
terfered with in their plans. He COM
pared the case with one where many doc
tors, each with a different style of treat
ment, administered to an unfortunate pa
tient who was made TO swallow all the
medicines. He said that he was afraid
they would be obliged to swallow poison
in the end.
General Porter also said that the civil
lied red men in Indian Territory were
heartily in sympathy with the policy of
the United States Government in its plan
for abolishing tribal laws in the Territory.
He added that IT was somewhat aston
ishing to the Indians that SO much SYM
partly was exhibited toward Porto Ricans
when the red men have been for many
years subjected to as bad. and even worse,
conditions than the people Of that island.
In answer to a question, General Porter
said that he had only visited Congress
once on behalf of his people.
He expressed his intention OF returning
TO his home in a week or so and said that
he would be unable to wait until Congress
took up the proposed agreement between
the Creeks and the Government
The agreement, in common with those

of the Indians in town sites. The towns
in Indian Territory are built upon the
property of the Indians and we desire TO
properly allot such ground to lawful own
ers and give them titled right.
THE FIVE civilized tribes are taken as
representative of the best interests in the
Territory, but, of course, the other tribes
will be made subject to any agreements
which the Government finds beneficial to
the interests of the Indians at large. At
present, the greater part of the uncivilized
Indians do not take kindly to the idea of
abandoning their ancient tribal laws and

Rule Mems Futures.

Whether the average man knows or not, or sd-
mits it or not, It is held that he is absolutely
under the control and guidance of some woman.
II he happens to be young man all Of his ener-
gies are directed toward securing the partnership
of some young woman who will exercise despotic
rule over his future. II he happens to be mar

step or begin any important enterprise without
consulting his wife The careful and earnest
observers of the relations between man and woman
insist that not only does many wife aid her hus-
band by determining for him how he shall vote,
but that if she interested in political questions
she is not content until she influences the wives
of other men who in turn influence their husbands

Clauson feel that they cannot accept
this proposition and six of the Alder
men of the North side will not vote for
the franchise unless this is included in
its provisions. We took steps to REM
edy this defect and the company are
perfectly willing to build the line on
Caledonia street if this will overcome
the objections.
In regard to the reliability of the
promoters Mr.. Haynes stated yesterday
that they were acting as agents for
another company composed of Jewish
capital. He stated that if the commit
tee would come to Chicago he would
take them to their bank and prove to
them that there was ample capital for
the building of the line.
The committee has tried to do all in
it's power for the welfare of the city
and if the people want the road think
that it can be built on a franchise
favorable to the city.

TO BUILD A PARSONAGE.
Swedish Lutheran Church Decides to Add
Largely to Their Property.

A special meeting of the members of
the Swedish Lutheran church was
held at the church building Wednes-
day evening, and as result of the
meeting the church has announced
that it will at once begin the erection
of a parsonage for the use of the pas
tor and his family.
The new parsonage will be frame
building two stories high, and with all
the modern conveniences. The plans
were accepted at the meeting last
evening and bids received for it's con-
struction. The cost is estimated at
about 81 300. The new building will
be built on the lot just north of the
church, which was purchased for this
purpose. The money for the new par
sonage is now being raised.

A JOLLY TIME.
ROYAL League, of Racine, Ente1tains Mem

bers of the Kenosha Lodge.
1t was a merry party of Royal League
members, with their wives and best
girls that climbed into Kupfer's wag-
onette in front of Joe Fits store last
night, and went up to Racine to accept
the invitation of the Royal League
of that city to attend dancing party.
Music and mirth was the order of the
evening, and to say that every one had
a good time would be quite mild. On
the way to Racine, after the car had
rounded the last turn, it cid not stop
at 18th street, but went direct to the
Armory hail, where the Kenosha dele
cation was met and cordially well
coined. Dancing continued until about
midnight, when bountifu1 refresh
ments were served, after which the
dancing was resumed, and when the
Kenosha party took the car at 100, the
Racine people were still at it. They
love to dance in Racine, but they have
time to stop long enough to see that
their guests are we'll provided for, and
every one who went last night will
want to go again, and not only that,
but will wish to take some of their
friends with them.
