TO Indian Territory.

washington. May 1.-The responsi-
bility for the payment OF the expense
OF the removal OF the Cherokee In
dams from the eastern states 10 In
dian Territory more than half a centu-
~ ago was Monday decided by the su-
preme court OF the United States to
rest with the government. There
were several cases involving the same
question.
The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller and affirmed a
former decision OF the court OF claims
with slight notifications. The expens.
es were charged 10 the Cherokee
treaty fund. and the Indians claimed
that this was improperly done. The
question OF Interest on payments also
was raised. The judgment OF the court
OF claims was In favor OF the Chero.
kees, and In favor OF the United States.
and called for the payment OF about
H,0OO.OoO. The case has received
much attention. The decision provides
Tor a per capita payment TO Cherokees
who remain In North Carollna. Tennes.
see and other southern states. There
are about 5000 OF them. They asked
for onefourth OF the entire award.
The modification In the decision OF
tne court OF claims by the supreme
court consisted In cutting out the old
settlers or western Cherokees. thus re-
moving the entire sum awarded 10
eastern Cherokees who did not remove
from their homes in North Carolina.
Georgia and Tennessee until 1885. Al.
torney Robert Lowen. who Is himself
an Indian. and representing the eastern
Cherokees. says originally there were
about $4,000 Of those Indians but that
their descendants number about 10000.
The award viii be divided among them
after expenses are paid. The original
claim was for t4.1li,2i4, but the award
carries an allowance OF interest since
lsss. The money used In the removal
was part OF fund growing out OF the
sales OF the eastern lands OF the In.
dams and held In trust for them.
The government especially resisted
the allowance Of interest. but Il was
overruled. The old settlers were cut
out because the court found that they
had heretofore been fully reimbursed /
for their share Of the expenditure from |
the trust fund.

Southern Relief Ball.

The sentiment of charity, with
most of us. has length and breadth.
but is infinitesimal in thickness; it
is like a roseate tissue that envelops
all mankin ut without warmth or
protection any. To be of use
1t must be w4apped about some one
object, it must be strengthened by
association and re-enforced by num-
bers. These thoughts are suggested
by the notice of the approaching ball
of the Southern Relief Association,
an organization of distinguished
Southerners for the aid of needy
Confederate Veterans and their
families. I'm this District.
The Confederate Veteran is enti-
tied to, and gets, the highest consid-
GRAFTON and most chiYalrous respect
from his erstwhile antagonist, and
present-day brother. the Union Vet
eran; each honors himself in honor
ing the other; but while the nation
can and does provide for the unfor
tunate veteran of the North. only
private charity can league itself with
Providence in tempering the winds
of adyersity to the Southerner. BRAY
cry, courage, heroism do not protect,
in 4 commercial age, from the icy
fangs of the winter wind or the
more persistent gnawing of hunger:
there were splendid heroes on both
sides, men whose deeds honored hu-
manity. who expended their energies
in that struggle and have not since
been equal to the task Of competing
with their fellows for living. For
such the comfortable. the well-to-do,

lege to provide

MISERY IN NEXT WORLD
DECLARED BLASPHEMY
Rev. John W. Day, of st. Louis, De-
nounces Religion Teaching ANY
Unhappiness in Final Universe.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. IA cheerful SER
mon for the new year was preached by
Rev. John w. Day at the Unitarian
Church OF the Messiah. on THE Right
10 Be Happy" Mr.. Day was in line
with many expressions of recent thought
claiming happiness as the normal condi-
tion Of humanity. although the minister
took care to exclude from rightful pos
session such enjoyment as is gained
and maintained at the expense Of some
body else"
In speaking of the right to be happy
IN q broader sense. Mr.. Day declared in
favor of a theology teaching ultimate
happiness.
"Religious moralists, in particular" he
said, fought TO consider that when they
frame q theory of universal morality
which ends In perdition for some peo-
ole they are laying the heaviest in
dictment that anybody could lay, and
expressing the most blasphemous opin-
ion that anybody could express, of God
and the supreme will. / think that IL
theologians could face the ultimate is
sue of their creed they would often
pause. If they could see that the uni
verse, which at the end tolerates and
holds one atom of misery in 1t Is a fail
ure, they would try to conceive a
theology that is not based on the bot
torniess pit and does not make the 10y
of the righteous greater because they
behold the sufferings of the wicked. A
universe that does not hold happiness at
the end is failure"

good works, save in the doing of
them:
The association has taken the
means of public ball to raise funds
for their needy brethren, and in this,
as in their more serious efforts, they
are to be congratulated; for how
else could their appeal draw so many
or such willing helpers to their as
sistance? Charity balls are always
brilliant affairs, for they not only
bring together the best and most sue
cessful people of the community. but
they satisfy the social instincts OF
the fortunate. while they quiet the
more insistent cravings Of the poor.
The war ended more than gener-
alton ago; Southern sentiment is
today loyalty itself and is devoted
to charity and social advancement;
there will be no line of division,
sectional or other, at the ball of the
Southern Relief Association, save
only the inevitable separation of the
charitable from the dneharitable.
