made treaties with, and conveyed
lands by patent, TO these Indians
The so. called treaties are mere
articles of agreement procured IN
many cases through fraud aHd
Misrepresentation. The patents
to lands to tribes TO be held in
common may be revoked and the
lands conveyed in seyeralty' and
such as are not so conveyed may
be sold and the proceeds held in
trust for the benefit Of all. The
government should not standnpon
technicalities and legal quibbles,
but should take the responsibility
of dealing justly with these de-
pendent wards of the nation"
Now, if there is any one thing
in these words Of Judge Springer
more obvious than all others, il IS
the fact that he entertains a most
sovereign disregard for what ls
right in general and especially the
guaranteed rights 0. these Indians.
1t is Impossible to be a friend to
anybody and at the same time De
n
an enemy to his rights. y, yes;
it is true that a master may be
friend 10 his slave, and fight for
him, if need be, but lash him and
maintain that he has no rights
that he is bound to respect. In
the same way. the farmer may be
friend TO the sheep that he
shears, and the butcher, the hog
which he is feeding for the slaugh-
ter. But that is not the kind OF
friendship which these Indians
know how to appreciate. When
the Judge has succeeded in demon
strating to our satisfaction the
feasibility of being our friend, and
being at the same time engaged IN
measures Of ruthless trespass upon
our sacred rights, we will then
confess our fault, and open our
arms and take him into our
bosoms and resttul confidence.
Until then

RejOinder to Judge Springer,

author and never any credit. My
friend, Judge Springer, complains
that, writing under a disreputable
mask of this kind, | asserted in a
recent article of mine, that about
sixteen years ago, when he was
member of congie ess, he showed By
Misconduct in various ways that
he was then not a friend to the
Cherokees; and that bis present
proiessed attitude toward them
stands in marked contrast with
what it then was. The judge de-
nies the truth Of nay statements
( and oharacterizes nay article as
gfoundless Misrepresentation.
Now, if the judge 'imagines that
| am mean enough to attempt to
make point, or gain an end, by
wilfulIy misreresenting a person
under cowardly nom de plume,
let him be assured that he makes
altogether false estimate OF my
make up. Too Qua-Stee Is the
name which | have borne from my
CRADLE; it has no reference to my
propensity TO scribbling. If | have

Judge for himself as to the proper
Interpretation to be placed upon
them. In communication to the
Philadelphia Press under date OF
Feb Ist, 1885, the judge writing
under the name Of "Wm. NJ.
Springer has this 10 say;
"The question Of most pressing
Importance is as to the proper
policy to be pursued in reference
to the Indian Territory. +
The whole policy OF the govern
ment toward these Indians should
be changed. A territorial gov
should be established ior
the whole territory. All tribal re-
lations should be abolished. The
lands should be allotted in several
ty, in tracts suitable to the condl.
ton of heads Of families, and
made inalienable for twenty years
The other lands should be ap'
praised and sold, and opened tC
actual settlers. The proceeds de
rived from such sales and home
stead purchases, should be Sc
apart for educational purposes, ,anC
for erecting school houses ant
other public buildings. A suf
fcient fund should be reserved anC
set apart for endowiDg free school
for all time to come. If the In
dians are approached by th'
agents of the government in
proper spirit, they will readily
consent to such a disposition o
their lands. They will derive al
the benefits and be subjected to ~
losses or inconvenience. Thei
policy is now that Of the dog ir
the manger. They do not use th'
lands themselves and will not le
others use them. Or, il other
use them, i. is upon leases 0

Mrs. Bodine Claims to Have Acted

AYREs' CONDUCT WAS IMPROPER
charged While the Two
Were ScumIng.

Washington, May 21.-Mrs. ]. l. Bodine
was arrested yesterday for the murder of
Joseph Ayres. She has confessed
Mrs. Bodine's confession was entirely
voluntary. At a few minutes past p. N.
she telephoned for Major Sylvester, chief
of police, saying that she was coming to
his office, and she appeared there a few
minutes afterwards. When she reached
the Office she said she had a statement
which she wished to make, and she was
Immediately turned over to Detective
Horne, who took her confession.
She said that she was alone in Ayres
room with him when the killing took
place and that the shooting was the re-
suit Of his own misconduct. She stated
that Ayres had drawn the pistol upon her
for the purpose Of making her respond
to an improper proposal which he had
made to her.
At the commencement Of the affair she
said that he had come to her room in the
Kenmore hotel about o'clock Wednesday
morning, and upon the pretense of being
i'll had gained admission to her room. He
complained of feeling as If he was go
ing to have chill and asked her to
give him some preventative. She had CIV
en- him, she said, a medicine which she
ferred to some differences which they had
had in the past, and had asked her to
come to his room where they might quiet
ly talk the matter over and come to an
amicable understanding. She had agreed
to go to the room as he had requested,
and he left her room, preceding her to
his own.
When Ayres called at her room he was
entirely dressed, but when she entered
his room, as per agreement, she found
him standing behind the door undressed
except as to his undershirt and with a re-
volver in his hand. He then told her
that he had enticed her to the room for
his own purposes, and that If she did not
submit to his wishes no would kill her.
Mrs. Bodine says that she Immediately
grasped the revolver, and in the struggle
which ensued 1t was discharged three diff
ferent times, striking him at each dis
charge, the last shot proving fatal She
says that the cries for help which Miss
Minas heard were from her, as was the
sobbing which Miss Minas described
Mrs. Bodine says that after the shoot
ing she passed through the window of
Ayres room onto and down the fire es-
cape ladder and entering the parlor win
dow Of the second floor passed through
the parlor and back up the stairway of
the hotel to her own room on the fourth
floor. She then washed her hands, un-
dressed and retired
Mrs. Bodine was entirely self-possessed
when she made her confession and did
not exhibit any evidence Of either pres
ent or past unusual excitement She is
apparently about 80 years OF age and says
she was born in Macon, Mo.
After she had concluded her statement
the woman was placed under arrest and
sent to the house of detention.

this afternoon to the effect that Ayres
was killed during conflict between him

CLAPP SPOKE ELOQUENTLY
School of Commerce at Gustavus
AdOlphus Closes.

Special to The Journal.
st. Peter, Min, May 21.-An audience
that taxed the opera house to its utmost
capacity listened to the graduating exer-
cises of Gustavus Adolphus School of Com
meree last evening. United States Sena-
tory Clapp, who was the speaker of the
evening, made an eloquent address to the
graduates. He said it was the duty of
each one to know himself, to study the
obstacles that lie in his path and to learn
ones limitations, both those within and
those without. The old saying that there
is plenty of room at the top is no longer
true, since the top is higher and much
smaller than 1t used to be. Economic and
social conditions have changed, but the
patriotic American citizen will find some
way to remedy the commercial tendency
which is crushing the middle class to-day.
The address was full of valuable and
practical advice and was listened to with
the deepest interest. This morning the
Literary Circle gave its annual entertain
ment. DR.. ]. S. Carlson OF the state
university spoke on the value and i'm
portance Of acquiring an education. This
evening the senior class exercises will
take place in the opera house.
