THE VITAL ISSUE.

The foremost question with
Oherokees at this time is whether
the agreement ratified by the SEN
ate last Saturday will be accepta-
Bile to majority of the voters of
the tribe or not. Until copy Of
the printed treaty as it comes from
the conference committee is re.
eeived it is impossible to form an
intelligent opinion as to whether
it will be ratified by the Chero-
KEGS. There were three things in
this agreement as it passed the
lower house of congress at the last
session that are particularly dis
tasteful and either of which would
be sufficient to defeat the measure
at the polls. The confscation Of
the public buildings Of the Chero-
kee nation, the clause relating to
mineral leases and the eighty acre
allotment proposed. If the treaty
is submitted to popular vote of
the Cherokees with these features
eliminated it would be ratified by
an overwhelming majority as was
the Muskogee agreement. The
burning issue with the Cherokees
now is to obtain g favorable set
Element of all their business, and
to secure the individual allotment
Of the lands which are now held
in common.

NO FLOWERS In GUAM.
According to Good Authorities the
Natives of That Island Do Not
Care Mt All for Them.

Lieut.. W. q. Stafford, q. S. N, in ac-
knowledging the receipt from Pres
ident Charles 1. Wight of a quantity
Of seeds and useful plants sent to
Guam, writes interestingly as follows
of life and conditions there. Lieut..
Stafford is a scientist Of rare attain
ments, a fact which makes his OBJ
seryations of the more value, says an
exchange.
"The natives of tins island in gen
eral show little appreciation for flow
ers. They never make leis nor wear
the flowers in any way. Only three
or four in the entire city of Agana
have flower gardens, and they are laid
out in haphazard manner. They
cannot understand why anybody
wants to plant anything which is not
edible or which does not furnish some
useful product. Mr.. Haughs has sent
some fine things, among which are
a number of ornamental palms."

ATTORNEY BAIRD 5 IDEA.
THINKS COOPER HAD NO RIGHT
IN HOUSE.
Says That on Mainland an Official
Would Have Been Jailed for such Of
fense-Other Opinions.

United States District Attorney Baird
takes the position off hand, that Secre-
tary Cooper was not entitled to a
seat in the Territorial House. except by
the invitation or courtesy of that body
He says further that, so far as he
knows, an incident like that of Thurs
day and Saturday in the Legislature is
unprecedented, having never before oc-
Cured in the big farm of Uncle Sam.
In any other part of the United
States said the District Attorney yes
terday. II am sure the consequences to
the Secretary would have been far more
serious" In answer to a question:
Yes, he could have been Jailed. The
legislature, judicial and executive de-
partments are separate in every parti-
cular-as far apart as the four Winds.
The Constitution keeps them apart; one
must stand it's distance from the other
Since Thursday the Cooper incident
has been the most discussed of topics.
1t has developed the widest differences
of opinion. Those supporting or favor
able to the action taken are satisfied
and are waiting in blissful confidence
for any consequences that may occur.
A contrary opinion is expressed and
held by many. 1t is in effect that if the
Organic Act did not order Cooper into
the Legislature, it at least gave him the
discretion of being there. That is to
ness of the report of proceedings; if he
imagined, that for any reason or on
any account whatever he would not Sc
cure full report. he would be justified
and fully empowered and instructed TO
take it himself.
There are many who fear that Sc
rious consequences may come of this
business. 1t is predicted by these that
no matter what the merits or dement's
of the case may be, the mainland pa
pers, the people, the administration and
Congress will take it that a direct re-
preventative of the President has been
deliberately insulted and that action ac-
cordingly will be taken. 1T is the OPT
Mon of some that the insult will APP
pear so grave that Congress will an
null the Organic Act and dissolve the
Legislature and others thing that the
matter will be bridged over with a
severe calling down by the President.
AT the same time, the advocates of
the move are whistling in glee and see
none of these Snags ahead.

REMARKABLE GIFT.

Robert r. Church of Memphis. Tenn.
who was born a slave and worked as a
slave in his boyhOod has contributed
$1,000 toward the entertainment of the
confederate veterans who will gather in
Memphis in the spring. 1t is a singular
case. Southern papers have seized up
on 1t as showing that the negro has be-
gun to realize that his true friends are
to be found in the South. The north
ern barbarties" in New York, Akron,
Leavenworth and Colorado are again
referred to; and certainly if they be
taken as criteria. the Negroes lot In the
North is far from hopeful. But the
claim that the negro today receives
better treatment south of Mason and
DiXon's line than north of it is a
doubtful one.-Springfield Republican.

FIRST EDITIONS.

How well the demand for first edi-
tons of famous American authors holds
up was shown at the sale of the Arnold
collection in New York last week, Wher
about 700 lots realized over $1,000. The
prize of the sale was the first edition OF
Hawthorne.s "Fanshawe" one of the
rarest of American books, which went
for $40. In this case the lack of ap-
probation by readers of a past genera
ton was of value, for the volume was
in excellent preservation, and uncut.
1t is to be feared that most authors
would rather be read in their lifetime
than sold uncut at a high figure. Next
in price was the manuscript of Emer-
sons 'Threnody' 0S42). which brought
$500. There were also first editions OF
Bryant, Holmes, Longfellow, Lowell,
Thoreau and Whittier.-Springfield Re-
publican.
