The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1902-11-28

Representative Richardson is in
Washington and states that the ad-
ministration can count on the Dem
ocratic minority in the House for
the support of any genuine anti
trust legislation. He does not be-
lieve that the Republicans will
dare to enact any legislation inim-
ical to trust interests, but hopes
they will, and he will marshal his
forces in the House in support of
it in the event of any serious at
tempt in that direction. He ex-
presses himself as satisfied with
the result of the election, and says
that in view of the increased mem
bership in Republican states, and
the fact that the states had nearly
all been redistricted by Republi-
can Legislatures, the Democratic
showing was surprisingly good.
He looks forward to seeing the
Republicans fail to make good"
as the President expressed it in
New York, and anticipates sweep
ing Democratic victory in 1904.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1902-11-28

There are active preparations
going on for the approaching ses-
sion of Congress. Many Senators
and Representatives have arrived
in town and are getting their work
into shape. Senator Cullom claims
to be making preparations for
antitrust legislation. Senators
Lodge and Burrows are here and
are discussing the needs of the
Philippines preparatory to the in
PRODUCTION of another Philippine
bill. They have had several con
ferences with Secretary Root, and
will doubtless be in a position to
outline bill as soon as the session
convenes. Senator Beveridge has
the statehood bill, comforting state
hood on Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma, we'll in hand. The i'm
migration bill which passed the
House at the last session awaits
the action of the Senate, and it Is
hoped by the Administration off
Gals that the Cuban treaty will be
ready to be sent to the Senate at
an early date.

and then abandoned them and
turned to the old-line colored or
CARNATIONS for support. The lily
whites now claim that they can see
a possible chance of victory ahead,
provided they can count on co
operation from Washington, and
cannot depend on Mr.. Roosevelt,
but can on Mr.. Hanna. Post
master General Payne says the
President will not countenance an
effort on the part of Republicans
in any part of the country to de-
prive duly qualified voters from
exercising their political rights.
That sentiment the Southern Re-
pubIicans characterize as very
beautiful and quixotic, but entirely
too chimerical for practical pol
itics. Whether they will be able
to effect anything in the national
convention, it is impossible to
foretell, but it is believed by many
politicians that the Senator from
Ohio would welcome any disaf-
lection which would warrant his

Being told by friends in exporting
houses that the prices quoted in the
export price list were usually net
bottom prices and that special dis
count sheets gave the lowest quota
tions, this employe of the Democratic
Committee made many vain attempts
to obtain one of these sheets. He en-
ployed manufacturers and others well
acquainted with exporters to visit
one or more of these special discount
sheets. Time and again he was told,
"Oh, yes, can get it for you, | have
known those people for years. I'm
certain they will let me have it." But
although he would concoct plausible
reason for asking for the sheet and
would strain his friendship almost to
the breaking point, yet, in every in
stance, this friend of the exporter
would have to admit defeat, though
he might get a squint at the coveted
sheet. He would be told. "Yes. we
know you are all right and will not
make improper use of the sheet, but IL
is a rule, rigidy enforced, not to let
one of these sheets go out of our Of
fee except to mail to certain trusted
foreign agents. We wouldn't let it go
out of this office for love or money.
1t might make endless trouble for us. -
Or he might be told, Il would be very
glad to accommodate you but those
sheets are under lock and key and |
have not the key"
Failing to obtain the sheet in or
dinary ways, the committees agent
got permission to advertise Offering a
reward for it. But to his astonish-
ment, five of the leading papers of
New York refused to print the adver-
tisement. The managers admitted that
it was perfectly legitimate adver.
tisement, but said they did not care
to publish it. In one case, the man
ager figured on the amount of adver-
tising space used by the exporting
houses and which might be lost
should he SLAP them in the face" by
printing the advertisement
In The face of these facts, Mr.. J. B.
Bradlee of the firm of Henry w. Pea
body & Co. had the nerve TO say to a
reporter of the New York Sun:
I'VE should have thought, however.
that the Democratic Literary Bureau
in Washington would have come to us
for any information they wanted, rath-
er than resort to means of this kind. -
Would you give one of your dis
count sheets to the Democratic Lit
erary Bureau if they asked for it?"
asked the reporter
Il doubt If we should" Mr.. Bradlec
replied. Il would rot feel that we
were at liberty to do So"
The Democratic Congressional Com.
mittee is as anxious as ever to obtain
one of these sheets for use in the
campaign book, and will gladly give
500 for it, Although about 5000 of
them are published each month they
are as scarce in this country as are
snakes in ireland.

NO SURPLUS LAND
According to the Cherokee Rolls There
viii be 40 Acres for Each

According to the Cherokee Rolls There
VIII be 10 Acres for Each
VINITA: The Cherokees will vote on
the ratification of the Cherokee agree
ment bill recently passed by congress
Aug. Z, and as the election draws near
the contest waves warm.
Arrayed on one side are the oil men,
fullbloods and excessive land holders
and on the other side the lesser land
holders and the progressive element.
Many of the large land holders and
fullbloods, however, are in favor of
the treaty. The report of the United
States surveyors shows that after taking
out the reservations, river bottoms and
townsites the Cherokees have 4,420,0
49, 100 acres of classified lands subject
to division. An estimate made by this
commission of the five civilized tribes
shows that when the Cherokee roll is
completed there will not be fewer than
88, 500 citizens entitled to allotments in
this land. The roll may reach 10000
people, thus ~ will be seen that by Civ
ing each citizen land equal in value to
110 acres of the average allotable land,
there will be no surplus left after fair
division is made.

PORTER PLEASED
The Governor Of the Greeks Salts
fed with Supplemental Treaty
SNAKE DISSATISFACTION EXAGGERATED

Reports Sent out to metropolitan Dnilies
Misrepresent Anairs-Never In DOUBT
as to Outcome of tho Supplemental
Agreement
VGNITA: Gen. Pleasant Porter, gov
Grnor of the Creek nation, passed
through here en- route home from the
Creek capital where the Creek legisla.
ture has just ratified the supplemental
agreement with the United States
When asked about tho condition of af-
fairs i'll the Greek nation Governor
Porter said: II am more than pleased
with the ratification of the Greek sup
elemental agreement with tho United
States. There was some opposition TO
the ratification of the treaty, but never
felt any doubt, because could not be
lieve that nine out of every ten of the
Creek citizens are meaSurably satisfied
with the supplemental agreement.
The reports sent out to the metro
politan dailies about the Snake dissatis-
faction are grossly exaggerated. The
Snakes as a whole are not mp in arms
against the treaty. There are few
who do not like it, but they have rec
ognized the inevitable and will submit,
perhaps because they have to, but they
will %bmit just the same, and the re-
port that they We're going to show fight
is all a canard. True, many of the
Indians who have been arrested by
Marshal Bennett are fullbloods, but
they were wanted for acts of lawlcss-
ness of the past and they were arrested
the first time that the marshal and his
deputies saw them.
1T is unfortunate that these reports
go out to the metropolitan dailies just
at the time when the matter has been
settled, and it is calculated to work to
the detriment of the nation to some ex-
tent
otherwise everything in the nation
is in the best possible shape, the people
are going to be blessed with bounteous
crops and they will not have to wait
for the deeds to their lands. The affairs
Of the nation are now i'll good shape"

territory papers printed a long story
which emanated from Washington to
the effect that the interior department
officials We're dissatisfied with the new
Indian agreement, and that when it
was negotiated designing persons had
duped the interior department by in
serting provisions in the agreement
detrimental to the best interests of the

Tribal officials denounced the report

the interior department, wired as fol-
lows: REPORT is absolutely without
foundation. The department desires
the ratification of the treaty and be-
lieves it will be of great benefit TO the
Indians"
