II Is said there is no shadow OF

Of the Indians in Oklahoma were
starving. There is little danger Of
these wards Of the nation suffering.
Some Of the tribes, especially the
Cherokees, are very rich, having
more money than they actually know
what to do with. The government
has paid the Indians good prices for
their lands. Some of the tribes are
still supported by the government,
and are literally provided for. The
army officers are among the Indians
best friends, and the government is
doing much to educate them.

The recent postal frauds In Cuba
have had q decided tendency to I'M
press the Cubsns very unfavorsbly,
to say the least, with this govern
ment. They had been accustomed to
such rAscality on the part OF the
Spanish officials, bat they had reason
TO believe that the affairs Of their
government would be honestly con-
ducted By the Americans. The Gu
bans are perplexed over the postal
muddle. There is this difference,
however, the American rascals will
be punished when detected, while the
Spanish thieves went unrebuked'
Cuba is virtually an American col
ony. Her officials are appointed oy
the President without consulting the
Cubsns. The President is said to be
greatly worried over the recent
frauds. He should learn q useful
lesson from them. They should
clearly demonstrate to him the abso-
lutte Importance Of appointing men to
: Cuban offices of unquestionsble hon
city; and he should now be thor
oughly convinced that Cuba is the
last place to send the political de-
pendent, the political adventurer or
the political or financial Spectator.
Only men Of the highest integrity and
tested ability should be chosen to in
auRurste our colonial policy, and the
fact that this disgrace came so quick
" upon the organization Of that pol
ICY should be an admonition to the
President that he cannot reasonably
disregard.
The eyes Of the civilized world
ERE beholding us, and our CO.
lonial policy should be Ohsstened by
q speedy and proper punishment OF
criminals and by sending only men
of pure characters and highest attain
ments to ali colonial ofices-thst the
civilized world will respect and Sus-
tain said policy. Let the President
follow the example Of Great Britain
and select colonial officials on account
OF their fitness, without regard
to politics. Psrtisanry and the
clsmorings of greedy ofice-seekers
for lucrative positions should be dis
regarded by the Administrations
this government cannot stand a
