Belgian Haras a Nuisance.

Belgian hares imported into the

these hares were introduced into this
country and they are now spreading

distance of 500 miles from the spot
whore they were first turned out
and have increased so prodigiously
that ten hunters have been known tn

some proprietors have gone to the

them. Some attempts have been
made to turn their flesh into a
source of profit by sending them to

no more attention than the thousand
other freaks who think they have an
idea when they are possessed only
of a mental vagary.

EASTERN COAL FIELDS.

The coal fields of Pennsylvania
have set the price of coal for the
world. Now, these mines are so deep
and the mining is so costly and the
greed of the owners has grown so
great that the world is casting about
foa relief. The English mines are
deep and the work is costly. and
there is no relief there.
Canada has scratched around and
found good coal field over in the
western plains, where she needs It..
Our own Western mines have dug
down and found coal. The Indian fer'
ritory field Is large, but not yet ex-
plored, and plenty is In sight to sup
ply the world, IL need be.
This provides pretty well FOR Ame--
lea, but the far east has to pay high
for fuel. This has caused renewed
interest in the search for coal. In In
dia considerable deposits have been
found and they will be worked Labor
is shamefully cheap in India, and the
mines will give 1t employment.
In China there are vast coal fields
and they will now be developed. China
has an abundance of coal for her own
use and the mines have never been
opened. China is buying coal while

The high price of western coal will
make the yellow men dig. China's
coal will set the price in the east in
a little while.

COMPLETION or WORK.
1t is Believed by Leaders Of the Con
etitutioral Convhntion that the
Work Of that Body Cannot Be
Completed Before March 20.

Guthrie, Feb. 25.-The constitution
al convention has not wasted its
time but so much remains to be done
lit will hardly realize it's most re-
cent hope of getting through by
March /. Leaders have pushed the
date up to March 20. There are leg
Iislative and judicial districts to be
formed, an election system and basis
for revenue and taxation to complete
and miscellaneous matters to con.
slider, as well as quite a number of
unfinished reports on the calendar.
BY perfecting provisions in commit.
tee of the whole the convention is
able to rapidly complete its work
on third reading and final passage.
A majority operates in the commit
ltee, whereas the three-fourths Is re-
lquired to amend on final passage.
The main delay will be to give the
committee on revision, style, com
lpilation and arrangement an oppor-
tunity to present the parchment roll
and its duplicate to the convention
for signature. Owing to the probable
length of the constitution it neces.
states a week or more time for the
document to be properly and correct.

FOLLY OF DEMOCRATS.

Again the Democrats are trying TO
convince the nation that they are un-
tit to control its destinies. There is
miserable little squabble over the
minority leadership.
The Democrats have the right to
name their own leader and his posi-
tion carries little, very little, power.
Yet for that honor, empty indeed,
but desirable, we are having a strug-
gle. John Sharp Williams has held
the position for several terms and
though he is candidate for the sen
ate. he wants to hold the house lead
ership till he leaves it, If he does
leave IL.
That is n very human desire, but
II is not admitted as a right. Mr.. DE
Almond of Missouri wants the honor
himself. His desire is natural one
also but II makes trouble.
The point that hurts is that our
party nearly always has n fight like
that on hand. We cannot agree on n
leader and cannot follow a leader,
when one is AIMED.
II Mr. Williams finds considerable
opposition he should retire in the In
tcrests of harmony. II Mr.. De Almond
finds he cannot win the leadership
without n struggle that will cause dis
cord. he should not make the struggle.
Men must make sacrifices in the In
terest of the party II we are ever able
to build up the party.

The constitutional convention has
had many knotty problems to deal
with, and the concensus of opinion
is that the delegates have labored
earnestly to perform the duties en-
trusted TO them. A few Republican
politicians not many. assert that they
have enacted a constitution too dras-
tic, but a cool and deliberate resume
of their work will reveal the fact that
the convention has not taken any ac'
iion that should hamper the develop
ment OF the state. When the proposi-
ton is submitted TO adopt the consti-
tuition, let's adopt it, and then keep
it whole and sound. Don't let the poll
ticians trick you into any attempt to
defeat the constitution.

CASES HANDED DOWN BY U. S.
SUPREME COURT YESTERDAY.
CITIZENS COURT SUSTAINED
And a Number Of People Affected,
AS Well AS the Title to Proper
ty Worth Over twenty-five
Million Dollars.

The decision handed down yester-
day in the Adams-Walace case by
the United States supreme court has
a somewhat bad effect on about 5000
citizens in this section of the coun-
try.
The decision affirms the contention
of the respondents or appellees that
the citizenship court established by
the act of congress of 1898 was a
constitutional tribunal and had the
right to open all of the cases where
in citizens were put on the roofs I'M
der authority of the district court.
The decision, however it is thought,
in no way effects the rolls of 1898,
and a number of persons who are on
have property rights, whereas those
who were not on the rolls but receiv-
ed their citizenship through the dis
ltrict court and before patents were
issues are affected, which means
that title to property of the value
of $25,000,000 is affected
The case decided by the supreme
court yesterday was brought by FL
la Adams, an Indian against Tugh
Wallace ct al, who were court claim
ants, for eiectment on certain lands
on which Ella Adams, member of
the tribe, filed. but on which lands

The suit was brought to recover pos

Ito court claimant, that is an ap-
|pellant for enrolment who had been
Iadjudged member of the Indian
TRIBE by the United States districte
|cOurt, and whose right had been ad-
Iversely decided by the citizenship
court, established under the Dawes
commission. The circuit court of APP
peals at st. Louis. to whom the case
was first appealed, in determining
the case held that the creation of the
citizenship court was an administra-
tive and legislative function of the
government. and not a judicial one,
and that congress had no authority
under the constitution to administer
and legislate for the Indian any time
before the allotment of lands under
the provisions of the treaties to re.
lpeal any previous Legislation and to
lchange its method of determination
as to who were entitled to allot-
ments, and strike out and nulltfy any
action previously taken as 20 phel
lenrollment of persons as members OF
Indian tribes.
The vital question involved is that
congress has the power to regulate
the affairs of the Indian until the pat
ert has been issued. The case was
brought by r. l.. Norman on behalf
OF the Indian contestants to oust the
lccurt citizens, and defended by
Cruce, Cruce & Bleakmore, the court
claimants.

And smile on your face,
Stand up to the world
And stick to your place.
Don't let grim mischances
Triumph over you,
And don't think of quitting,
Whatever you do.

Day in and day out
And toll all the harder
When troubles about.
Keep busy, keep cheerful,
BE constant and true
And fortune, nonplussed, will
Surrender To you.
