The end OF the redSkin, so far as he
is officially concerned with the United
States Government. is In sight. Within
two years the Indians of the Five Civil
lied Tribes in the Indian Territory will
be stripped of their identity as peo-
pie, and they will either have to be-
come citizens of the United States or
leave it. We have been so busy think
ing about the Filipino, the Porto Rican
and the Cuban that we have lost sight
of what has been termed 1.-THE greatest
human tragedy of the end of the Gen.
tury." Years ago, when no one ever
dreamed that the West was to be popu-
lated and become the richest portion of
our domain, treaty was made with
the Cherokees. Greeks. Choctaw
Chickasaws and Seminoles by which
twenty million acres of land known as
Indian Territory were set apart for
their reservation, to be theirs so long
as an Indian lived. To save the In,
dams and their invested funds the
Government has determined to break
this treaty, to abolish their tribal gov.
ernment and councils and divide their
lands into small tracts. That the re-
construction Of the Indian Territory
is absolutely necessary to save the In
dian lands from the rapacity of the
whites and half breeds is the belief of
w. Il. Draper, who writes of this
greatest of human tragedies in the
Outlook. A few years ago Congress
nv Cd I'M
the Territory was the 'harboring place
Of outlaws; that white men who had
married Indian women held thousands
of acres Of the finest land, while the
full-bloOded Indian was living back In
the woods and barely getting enough
to sustain life. The whites and treach-
erous half-breeds were gradually grab
bling all the Territory. Congress there.
fore decided that it would be better to
break faith with them and save them
the remnants of their invested funds
The work of winding up the affairs of
the Five Tribes is now being carried
out by a commission appointed under
the Curtis act, which was passed by
Congress in June, 1898. Town sites are
being laid out, and the Indians are be-
ing enrolled for their allotments of
land. When these $4,000 Indians re-
ceive their deeds in fee simple for their
allOtments Of land there will be open
ed for settlement what Mr.. Draper
calls a 'veritable paradise for white
people" So anxious are the Indians
to get rid Of the land that many Of
them sell their Certificates of selec.
tion," which become bills Of sale to the
land. AS soon as the work of this
commission is completed and the In
dams have received their allotments
the land will gradually pass into the
possession Of the all-conquering Anglo
Saxon and the Five Tribes will pass
out Of existence forever.

Inc new census returns show that
the rapid growth which characterized
English cities in the latter part of the
nineteenth century has been checked.
The great towns of England have
grown until recently almost as fast as
those OF America. Although the names
OF most OF them were known in the
Middle Ages and of some even in Ro-
man times, they are in most essential
respects as new as Boston, if not as
Chicago. But during the past ten years
the growth of most of them has been
very moderate. Liverpool, which had
$780, 4S inhabitants in 1891, has only
GSo,276 now. Manchester in 1891, with
50o.36S inhabitants. was ahead of Bos-
ton and st. Louis; now. with 54393O,
1t is behind them both. Boston and st.
Louis have passed Birmingham as
well. Cleveland and Buffalo have dis
tanced Bristol and Bradford Toledo,
which ten years ago was behind Black
burn, Brighton, Preston, Norwich, Bir.
kenhead, Gateshead, Plymouth, Derby,
Halifax Aad Southampton, is now
ahead of them all. No doubt, what
ever increase there is in the pOpulat on
of England hereafter will go to the
cities, as heretofore, but the indica-
tons are that this increase will not be
great enough to give the cities very
rapid growth. They already include
the bulk of English population. They
have not grown by their own natural
increase, but by draining the country
districts. The country districts now
have not much left to drain. When
England becomes one vast smoky city
it will be hard to say how it's popula.
ton is to be maintained.

CAUSE FOR ENCOURAGEMENT.

irrigation cause has suffered-says
Guy g. Mitchell. 1t must be remem
bered that the irrigation movement
is new thing in the east. Prior to
the present session OF congress it has
hardly been considered seriously by ten
per cent of eastern congressman. And
it must be remembered that in what
may be considered the early stages OF
new movement, II great mass of liter
at,lre and discussion and effort must
be put forth which will serve simply
as means of directing attention to
the subject and indicating the variety
of interests and purposes favoring and
behind it. When individual efforts
and attempts at legislation in the
shape of bills introduced and amend.
ments offered i'll congress became so
numerous and insistent as to assume
the nature of public clamor, then
the proper committee, whether hostile
or favorably disposed to the project,
must give the matter consideration;
must gather all the kindred bills
together and formulate from them
a comprehensive measure, and make a
report upon it, This is the situation
in the present short session of con-
gress Old and expected legislation
is pressing in great volume for en-
actment, and congressman are not
willing, in the limited time at their
disposal this winter. to take up en-
haustively a new question, nor is ii
