Washington, June Ex-senator
Gore of Oklahoma in the senate TO-
ady charged that syndicate of at
torneys had attempted to bribe him
to assist in seeking the enforcement
of Indian contracts which would
yield fee of approximately $3,0O0,-
900 at the expense of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians. He declar-
ed that resident Of his own town,
man whom he believed was one of
his friends, approached him and in
timated that it would be worth $685.
900 If he used his influence to keep
In committee legislation interfering
with the contracts.
He alleged that a member of the
syndicate Of lawyers interested also
had tried to bribe a member of the
house of representatives.
Senator Gore charged that ex-
Senators from Nebraska and Kansas
were members Of the syndicate. He
declared the scheme, If carried out,
would perpetrate a gigantic steal.
He said Senator Hale had promised
him a chance to be heard before the
senate adopted the general deficiency
appropriation bill report. The re-
port, he said, had been adopted dur
ing his absence He moved that tha
report be recalled from the house
and laid on the table.
The general deficiency bill as pass
ed contained an amendment submit
ted by Senator Gore providing that
Indian contracts should be invalid
until ratified by congress. The
conference committee changed the
amendment so that it permitted the

president and the secretary of the
interior to ratify sucn contracts,
Cores statement indicated that
the syndicate had obtained individual
contracts with 10000 Indians to
make collections in connection with
the sale Of immensely valuable coal
lands in the reservations OF the two
nations. The percentage for the at
torneys, he said, would approximate
5000, 900.
Under the amendment as changed
by the eonferees," Gore declared,
"the condition of the Indians would
be ten times worse than under the
present law"
The amendment as changed be-
came dagger, sword in the
hands OF. the enemy" he said
Senate Will Act.
Washington, June 25.--The SEN
ate today decided to investigate the
affairs of the Choctaw and Chicka-
shaw Indians following the charges
of attempted bribery made yester-
day by Senator Gore.
Gore recently introduced a reso-
luton providing that the committee
on Indian affairs investigate and as
certain at the next session of con-
gress whether the Indians needed le-
gal services in connection with the
sale of their lands, and to inquire
whether 10 per cent commission
provided in the sales was reasona-

Chairman Kean of the committee
on contingent expenses presented the
committees favorable report on the
resolution and it was adopted with
out discussion.

them, the outside world was smitten
with famine and there was but one
of two things to do; either die OF
starvation as they did in India, or
come to us to buy bread-come as
Joseph's brothers went up from Ca
naan with gold in their sacks to buy
food. In three years 1000 millions
came in that way. Also great gold
fields we're discovered in Cripple
Creek, in South Africa and West
Australia and more wonderful still
a process was discovered and util-
lied through which the gold in low
grade ores could be profitably saved
and the prosperity seemed wonder
full. Democrats who believed with
Mr.. Cleveland and Edward Atkinson
said: Behold, honesty is the best
policy, see what sound money in
sures to a nationr" and republi-
cans, who did not know any better
said: Behold, the effects of the
Dingley Tariff"
But after seven rat wears the hon
est gold gamblers in New York City
overplayed themselves, and suddenly
1t was discovered that all the gold
had gone somewhere; a panic was
on, and to keep from financial as
phyxia those bankers got back to
back and issued certificates in which
they endorsed the solvency of each
other and put those certificates out
for the suckers, the people, to use
as money. Moreover, they pledged
no end of wheat and cotton in Eng
land and on the continent to get a
paltry $100,000,00O in gold to tide
over the crisis. They
found, too, that the exports
of this country to half the people of
the earth had ceased.\
In the meantime, the middle men
who prey alike on the producer and
caught the New York
game of hold-up and doubled the
price of food to the rich and poor
alike until a couple of beefsteaks
cost about as much as did the steer
from which the steaks were carved.
And now a section of this same
old company has decided that there
is too much gold money in the land.
They do this, too knowing that
several millions of people in this
country went to bed last night on
only half-flled stomachs and did not
know where they were going to get
What kind of showing does that
make of great financial system for
4 great nation?
After reducing the money to gold, |
SO that a few men could corner it
ILL., they wall that there is too much |
gold. Where is it? Let them tell |
is that! Let them reflect on this.
Gold has ceased to be a measure of |
values and has become a club with |
which the few who hold it can beat |
he life out of the millions of toilers |
md they are fast driving the coun-
ry into anarchy and chaos. J

YOUNGER ONES
Will RELIEVE
OLD VETERANS
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF CIVIL
WAR SOLDIERS WILL DECOR
ATE GRAVES OF DEFENDERS OF
THIS NATION.

The sons and daughters Of veterans
of the Civil war at the suggestion OF
that patriotic body Of venerable de-
tenders of this nation, the Grand Army
of the Republic, will, commencing with
Decoration day of this year, decorate
the graves of the soldier dead. This
announcement was made by a special
committee Of Cloutman Post, G. A. R.,
after comforting with numerous sons
and daughters of old soldiers, and
henceforth the yearly visit to the bur-
ial places in Ottumwa will be made
by the younger patriots.
The committee of Cloutman post in
the following statement to the press
gives it's views on the matter OF dele
eating to the sons and daughters Of
veterans this yearly pilgrimage to the
last resting place Of their comrades;
cat a regular meeting of Cloutman
Post No. SO, department Of Iowa, G. A.
R., motion was introduced, discussed
and carried that because of the fnfirmt-
ties incident to old age, the time has
come when the decoration of the
graves Of the 'Saviors' Of this coun-
try must be placed in other hands, and
that T. r. Buckley, H. G. Nosler and
James King be appointed a committee
to consult and arrange with the sons
and daughters of veterans. The re-
ception Of the committee by the sons
and daughters was cordial and with
out exception they will heartily per-
form all the duties pertaining to the
proper observance of that day. The
following gentlemen Of the sons will
have control Of all matters, 3. II.
Emery, James F. Powell and John X.
Mahon. 1t is with great regret that
the old veterans Of the Civil war take
this step, but soon the last member of
the Grand Army must answer the
last roll ca1l, and we feel the time has
come that the detail work must be per-
formed by the sons and daughters.
