SEMINOLE WAR SURVIVORS.
(The Washington Herald.l


How many veterans of the Seminole
war are alive? That Indian uprising
was put down seventy years ago, and
two or three communities are now
claiming the distinction Of having cit
izens who participated in it. Away
out at Watrous, N. Mex, there is
venerable and worthy patriarch nam
ed Madison Horn, whose neighbors
boast that he is the sole survivor
Of the Florida war. He is eighty
eight, and as spry as a cricket. At
West Palm Beach, Fla, there is GER
tain Judge Andrew Jackson Lewis
born in South Carolina, by the way
who bears honorable scars as the re-
suit of wounds received while he was
fighting as a private in the ranks of
a South Carolina regiment against
the Seminoles. Judge Lewis is eighty
nine, and although he fought four
years in the Confederate army, he
looks strong and active enough to
shoulder his gun again and keep step
to the drums tap. One unidentified
veteran is being presented by Indiana,
but, as the Hoosiers have not yet pub
lished his name or shown by the rec
ords that he is drawing a pension,
their claim is being douted by Flori-
da and New Mexico. If there is Sem
mole war survivor in this city, he will
please come forward with the proof.
Kansas is expected soon to enter the
list.

THE PLOT AGAINST OKLAHOMA.

(The Springfield Republican,
The plot to hold up the Oklahoma
constitution and prevent the admis-
sion of the state before the next pres
idential election is clearly in process
of being carried out, and the plant
which is engineering it is located in
Washington rather than in Oklahoma.
The ostensible reason is that the con-
stitution has gerrymandered the state
in favor of the Democrats, which is,
of course, very shocking to Republi-
can ideas of propriety, such a thing
as a Republican gerrymander never
having been known. But the real rea-
son is that the new state would prob
ably fall into Democratic possession
and add seven votes of that political
color to the electoral college year
from next fall If it had been supposed
that Oklahoma would prove to be so
strongly Democratic, the last congress
would have withheld its enabling ordi-
nance at least until after the next
presidential election. New states are

TREE PLANTING IN NORWAY.

Writing from Christiania, Norway,
Michael Alger, the United States vice
consul, says that forest planting has
attracted much attention in recent
years. There were 6,8O0,OOO trees
planted and 748 pounds of seed sown
in 1905. School children planted l.
487, 400 trees and sowed 176 pounds
of seed. Forest planting is gradually
being introduced as a subject in the
public schools. Especially on the
west coast the school children have
taken much interest in the matter. In
a single parish 100000 trees have
been planted by the pupils in the last
three or four years.
