them" said General Grant, Il recon-
mend that the government purchase
or secure in the Indian Territory a
tract of land sufficient and suitable for
the support of these so-called Seminole
negroes, and that they be located
thereon, with full permanent title and
some immediate help to start them as
farmers"
General Lee, the present commander
of the Department of Texas, has just
made a special report to the war De"
partment regarding these Indians In
which he indorses the recommended
tons Of General McKibben and Grant
that suitable provision be made for
them. General Lee speaks OF the IN
dams as deserving people" and says
that "they have rendered most faith
full and efficient service as scouts and
merit generous treatment" He con-
ours in the recommendation that they
may be given a home in the Indian
Territory. IF this should be imprac-
ticable," says he, ut is suggested that
they be permitted to remain on tho
Fort Clark military reservation as
now; and in the event Of the aban-
donment of the reservation a suitable
portion of the same be allotted to them
for homes. In recognition Of their
past excellent services and their pres
ent usefulness along the border as re-
quired, it is recommended that their
enlistment and re-enlistment as scouts
be continued without reduction"

NO HOME OR COUNTRY.

The Seminole Negro Indians Are in a
Queer Predicament.
According to reports received at the
war department, says the Washington
Post, the so-called Seminole Negro In
dams, sequestrated on Fort CLARK mill
tary reservation in Texas, have Meth
er country, home nor citizenship. The
peculiar situation of these mongrel
people has been under consideration at
the war department for many years,
with a view to more clearly defining
their legal and political status, but SO
far nothing has been done for their
relief. There are about $50 of these
Indians. They all reside at Fort Clark,
by permission of the war department,
and are under the control Of the post
commander. They are reputed to be
peaceable and honest, live in huts and
houses, cultivate some ground, raise
little stock and support themselves
by their own labor. Twenty Of them
are listed scouts, eight at Fort Clark
and twelve at Fort Ringgold, Texas,
and as such, it is reported, render ex-
cellent service. Their history in brief
appears as follows:

with hob-nailed laced boots. This

THOSE RECESS APPOINTMENTS

There is now pending before con-
gress and before the public also the
question as to whether there
was such an intermiasion between
the extraordinary session of congress
last fall and the regular session
which convened on the first Monday
in January as to lilo the president
to make n few score Of recess ap-
pointm eats. This IS Il very important
questien-eSpecially important to the
appontees. for their right of holding
office before confirmation by the
appointments were during a session
of congress or in the time of a recess.
If the latter. they could Immediately
enter upon the duties of their Offices:
if the former, they would have to
wait until their appointments were
confirmed The president and the
cabinet officers contend that they
were recess appointments: that there
was an infinitesimal period of time
between the close of the extraordi-
~ NH-' an AAS o2SlIIS OF the
regular one. though the former ran
into the latter. which allowed him to
make these recess appointments.
This question will come I'D in the
senate fer discussion when the nomi-
nations r reported for acton. and
then the matter will be decided.
1t will be remembered thar there
was an effort made to adjourn the
extraordinary session al a date prior
to the time of meeting OF the two
houses in regular session.. but that
no agreement could be reached. so
the extra session was never adjourn
ed because the senate would not
agree to the house resolution fxing

question of the effect of non-adiourn-

TO BE COMMENDED.

If there is any one thing to be
commended in any citizen it Is
the desire to aid and assist in the
upbuilding of his community.
In this connection we desire to
call attention to the action taken,
or the proposition made, By Mr..
r. L. TannehilI of this place.
In order to develope the growing
of truck in this section he has
agreed to furnish for two years
40 or so acres of land within a
short distance of WINFIELD to
any one or more experienced
truck growers who will come
here. There is to be no cost like
rent or taxes to the person work
ing this land and it would seem
that this is a splendid PROPOSE
ton. 1t is the best which has
been made towards developing
this section.
All persons interested in seeing
this section developed should be
willing to. at least make this
proposition known, il not to help
bear the burden. But asking no
help Mr.. TannehilI makes the
offer, and it is hoped this will be
the means of demonstrating that
this is good truck growing
country.
