ETHAN ALLEN
His "Warriors" aod His Burlington
Farrl.
o the Editor Of The Free Press:

To the Editor of The Free Press:
New York, January 81. 1903.
Having a little time to spare in Albany
a day or two since | went into the State
Library and finding the custodian of the
manuscript department., ] asked to sec
the Ethan Allen manuscripts. lie brought
out first a volume which on inspection
proved to be marked Ira Allen" but
though that would have been very in
tcresting, it was not what / had come TO
look over. A little farther search pro-
duced the Ethan Allen volume and i spent
an hour or go, in turning over a collec-
ton of letters to and from Gen. Ethan
Allen" agreements, deeds. etc.
One characteristic letter from Ethan
Allen to Stephen Il. Bradley of West
minister. interested me especially, ana
] copied it as follows:
sir,
''The bearer. Mr.. William Stewart, one
of the old Green Mountain core. having
an action at Rutland superior court in
June, respecting the title to his gun,
which am very certain he has a just
right to, and as he is a poor man, | de-
sire you will plead his case and charge 1t
to mo. Ny warriors must not be cheated
out of their firearms. ! am in hasto.
your friend and very humble servant, Sth
June. lTy. Ethan Allen to Stephen K.
Bradley.'
'ile WOOln Ike 10 KNOW NIdt a Wv
result of the case, and whether the war
rior' saved his "ircarm.' but there is no
statement of the result although it would
| seem that it was tried, for at foot of the
letter Mr.. Bradley appears to have put
his charge as follows: ITO cause at his
request for William stewart G2.1os.'
] found also two interesting letters from
ST. John Crevecoeur to the general and
his reply. C~reVeroeuI' expresses the
greatest interest in Vermont and all hei
doings and among other things suggested
that the state might we'll in view of tbs

to the town which would he laid on

the name of Castripolis. in memory %

General Allen wrote in his answer tina
he had communicated the suggestion t

Of "Ie ergennes." instead of Ncreennc-

II is about time to agitate the
matter OF removal Of the land Of
fee back to Vinita. Most OF the
allotments being made at Table
quah are for lands in Cooweescoo-
wee and Delaware, and so far as
the Cherokees in the Southern
part of the territory are concerned
there is no rush at the land office.
We have the specific promise of
Secretary Hitchcock that we are
to have the land Office again in or
der that our citizens may have an
opportunity to file on their allot-
ments.

The stories sent out FROM Mus
kogee to the Kansas City Journal
to the effect that the citizens OF
the Indian Territory are indignant
at the Secretary Of tho Interior
on account of the removal Of Doug
las and for other reasons have no
foundation. In fact the prevail
ing sentiment is that Secretary
Hitchcock did exactly right. Doug
las was removed for sufficient
cause and another man has been
appointed for the place and the
incident is closed.

NAME DID NOT COUNT.
The Guest Would Have Eaten the

Congressman Cushman, of Washing

Cushman. was on hand from the wilds
OF Wahkiagum. He had practiced law
in the territory when Grant was in
the white house. The old fellow wore
a long tailed, clawhammer coat with
brass buttons and other prehistoric rail-
ment.
when he took his seat at the table
there was before him in the center OF
the table a large silver pudding dish
filled with custard, upon the top OF
which was floating an inviting snow
white frosting. The old gentleman, not
recognizing the conventionalities of the
occasion, went for it like a Dolly Var
den trout for salmon egg. He reached
over the table and pulled the dish gently
toward him, dipped the silver ladle
deep into the delicious compound and
sucked the ladle dry with one distinctly
audible smack. Just as he dipped the
ladle in a second time one of the col
ored walters spied him and hurrying
up to the old man, whispered:
"'Don't eat dat, mistah OATS de

"The aged lawyer looked up In inno-

In the air, and said;
" Dessert, be blowed! I'm not afraid
Of It. I'd eat It If it was a wilderness!' F."

If there were as many ugly ru'
mors against the administration

as there are against the conduct OF
the government in Indian terri.
tory, the matter would become a
question of national proportions
and create an .uproar throughout
the land. In the islands there are
some 5000 white people and
100000 Fillipinos; in the terri
tory there are abour 500, 900 white
citizens and $4,000 Indians. From
our colonies across the Pacific we
hear no complaint, but down in
the five nations there is consider.
able dissatisfaction. AS great a
care should be exercised and as
good results ought to be accom-.
plished in the management in the
one place as in the other. The
officials in both countries have
similar troubles to contend with
and the same dangers to guard
against. These are, the exploita
ton of the land by the whites and
their willingness to rob, defraud
ard oppress the natives for that
purpose, and also the temptation
of the officials themselves to make
money out Of their positions by
using their influence to further
unjust or unlawful schemes.
The suspicious which have at
tached to certain officials in the
Indian Territory are doubtless in
a greater part unfounded, yet
nevertheless the fact can no long
er be covered up that there are
undoubted instances of corruption.
Full publicity, ii is hinted, will be
given as soon as sufficient evil
dence is procured to put denial at
defiance. The body of the people
in the territory, nd.perhaps the
majority of the officials, have been
upright and honorable. There
never has been any other place or
time when the irritation, resultin G

curse of the Indian territory u But
considering the great temptation
and incentive, it is remarkable
that there have been so little fraud
