The Cherokee Boomers.
Those Cherokee boomers are a very un
happy and dissatisfied lot of people at
present. There are a good many thousands
j of them, and if they dared they would defy
the troops that have been ordered to put
! them off the f rbidJ-n lands, and bold on
to the town sites and quarter sections upon
which they have squaited. The most of
them are not to be greatly pitied. They
were not sure that t e Cuerokee strip, which
is a b’autifu! sectim of country in tne
Indian Territory, between Ks.su and
Oklahoma, had been opened to settle
ment. They thought, however, that the
government would not disturb them if they
one™ got a foo:hold in the coveted country,
anil that, being the fir ,t oi the ground, they
wou and have their choice of the lan Is and
the pick of the lots of the projected towns.
They did not wait for the cattle me i, who
had rented the lands, to rein ive their cattle.

Of c lurso there are hundreds of the boom-
ers who will have to endure great hardships
hef ire they will be able to fi id homes. The
w ealher is yet cold in Kansas, and doubt
less there will be a great deal of s ckness
among women and children. However,
the boomer • have only tbemsalves to blame
for i l eir pitiable condition. They did not
take the fr üble to inform tiemselves
whether or not the C lerokee country was
open to them. They went ahead blindly
aud they are now suffering the consequences
oi their rashness.
It is remarkable that there should be such
a rush to occupy the new lands as fast as the
right to enter them is obtained from the
Indiana When Oklahoma was opened tens
of thousands of people hurried there, think
ing apparently that fortunes awaited them,
and when the Sioux reservation in South
Dakota was opened, a few weeks ago, e
people crowded into it through every avail
able avenue until every acre of good land was
taken. And now, upon the borders of the
Chenkeestripagreat multitude is gathered,
waiting for the proclamation announcing
that they may enter it. It is true that good
unoccupied land is becoming rather scarce
in the west, but there is plenty of it in the
south. There is room for several millions
more people ia this state alone. Way
should there be such anxiety
to get wild lands in the west,
where there are neither schools, churches,
nor organized society, wbilo there is so
much good land in every one of the south
ern stites which can be had at very low
prices, and where there arc all tnesurround
ings necessary for comfortable homes? In
this isuie of the Morning News there is a
letter from Tattnall county pointing out the
advantages which that section of Georgia
offers to immigrants. Land there can be
obtaiued almost as cheiply as iu Okla
homa or the Sioux reservation, and
it is as productive as any in the west. But
what is of far more . importance, a good
markotcan b_< reached for anything that Is
grown ia Georgia, and tbs prices obt lined
after paying all expenses leave a profit to
the producer. Cu ias much be said for the
lands that are now being so eagerly sought
in the wild west by the boomers* That
question is answered by the cries of dis
tress of the farmers of Kansas, Nebraska
and the Dakotas. They cannot get more
than 15 cents a bushel for their corn—a
price that does not pay the cost of growing
it. Those who are seeking homes in the
new lands of the west are making a mis
take. If they will come south they will
And what they want.
Dangor that May Be Averted.
The frequent visits of northern capitalists
to the south show that this section offers
great inducements for investments, and the
coming of ffirmer excursionists, such as the
Ohio party, is ample evidence that our su
perior climate and soil are attracting a de
sirable class of Immigrants. Millions of
dollars have been invested by northern men
in southern mines, mills and factories in
the last ten years, and if our popula
tion has not been considerably
increased by the addition of enter
prising farmers from the north and
west it is only because our agricultural re
sources have not been sufficiently adver
tised. There are nu tibers of such farmers
in the south, however, aud, almost without
exception, they are doing well. They have
been hospilably received, aud the reports
which they send to their former homes will
necessarily be advantageous to the south.
The investments made here by northern
capitalists are thus far safe and profitable.
Everybody concerned is pleased with
what has boon accomplished, and if no
retarding influences are brought to boar
upon southern progress, the south will in
time occupy the leading place among the
prosperous sections of this country. There
is danger ahead, however. Republican
leaders in Washhigton seem determined, if
possible, to enact legislation that would
have an injurious effect upon sou hern
development. The ostensible object of the
proposed federal election law is to protect
the ballot, but the real object of it is to
placo congressional and presidential elec
tions in the south iu the hands of repub
lican returning boards, for the advantage
of the Republican party. The assertion of
some newspapers, that such a law would be
fatal to southern progress and would bring
business to a s andstili, is not well founded.
Nothing that is at ail likely
to happen would have that effect,
but such pernicious legislation would
be very unfortunato, because it would be
productive of an unsettled state of affairs.
This is not a matter tbatcancerns the south
alone, and the protests that will be made
against the proposed legislation will come
from all sections. Northern people who
believe in fair play will be heard from, a id
those who have put money into southern
enterprises will demand that their interests
be protected. Northern republican con
gressmen are not likely to nay muci at
tention to the protects of southern people,
but they will hardly disregard those of
their own constituents.
Joseph H. Manley, ex-postmaster at Au
gusta, Me.,and confidential friend of James
G. Blaine, says that Mr. Blaiae went into
the Harrison cabinet to fin.sh a certain

of progress it seems probable that he will
not have completed it, whatever it is, by
March 4, 1593, and of c urse he will have to
retire then, as a democratic I’resideut will
not want him asau adviser. Mr. Blaine is
a very magnetic man, but it would Ut diffi

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1890.
j New Orleans and the Navy Yard.
i The report of the commission which ex
amined the different localities on the South
Atlantic and Gulf coasts that were thought
Ito be suitable as sites for a navy yard, and
! which reporte iin favor of New Orleans,
i has not yet boon sent to congress. It is in
| the office of the Secretary of the Navy, and
the delay of that official in sending it to cou-
I gress with his recommendation that it be
acted upon favorably is causing great un
easiness in New Orleans. The people of that
city are beginning to suspect t mt there is a
movement t • prevent her from getting the
navy yard, and there appears to be some
ground for their suspicion.
The New Orleans newspapers are inclined
to think that the northern republicans are
opposed to using in the south any more of
the public money than can be helped, and
they also assert that soma of the soutnera
congressmen, who are interested in other
siuthern cities, are doing all they can
against New Orleans in this navy yard
iu 4tier. T.iey, therefore, call upon all tho
fr.ends of Now Orleans to unite iu demand
ing that the rep >rt of tho commission be
sent to congress at ones, and that steps bo
taken immediately after it is received to
have it acted upon.
Tho anxiety of the people of New Or
leans in this matter is very natural, and it
is not at all improbable that efforts are
being made to prevent the construction
of a navy yard in that city. It is
quite safe to say that it will be a long time
before it is finally determine i to establish a
navy yard at any point in the south. The
matter will probably drag along in congress
for several years, and unless the Loui-iana
congressmen show extraordinary skill and
persistency, no decisive action with respect
to it may ever toe taken.
When the commissioners were engaged in
collecting material for their report it was
pointed out to them that the propose! navy
yard ought to be on the South Atlantic
coast, and that Savannah was toe place for
it. They thought differently, however, but
it i> by no means co tain that the Secretary
of the Navy agrees with them, or t iat con
gress will when it gets a chance to pass upon
their report. As far as we know, however,
Savannah is not antagonizing New Orleans,
having considered the contest for the lo
cation over when the report of the commis
sioners was made. It is the duty of the
Secretary of tho Navy and of congress,
however, to act in accordance with their
judgment with respect to the location, and
it may be that the delay of which New
Orleans complai is grows out of a conviction
that the commissioners made a mistake.
Mr. Lodge’s Bill.
If the length of tho bill of Representative
Lodge, of Massachusetts, to give the general
government control of congressional elec
tions is any indication of its merit, it is a
very meritorious one. It must not be
judged by its length, however, as that,
probably, is intended to hide its real pur
pose, which is to give the republican party
control of congressional elections in the
sou.h.
It has two leading features. One* is
that whenever 500 resident voters of any
congressional district shall petition the
judge of the United Slates district court of
the district in which the congressional dis
trict is situated, two months before the
time of holding the election, to place the
next congressional election of the district
under the provisions of Mr. Lodge’s act, it
shall be the duty of the judge to do so. The
other feature is that the election must be
conducted in accordance with the Austral
ian b Ulot sy it em.
It is pret'y safe to assume that in the
north there would be no petitions to have
the elections held under the Lodge law. In
the south, however, the republican agents
would go through the congressional districts
and get the signatures of enough blacks in
each of them to place the elections in the
control of the republicans.
It is highly probable, however, that Mr.
Lodge’s bill will not find favor with a ma
jority of his own party in congress on ac
count of the Australian ballot feature of it.
Senator Hoar says he cannot support it on
account of that feature, and he has a bill
of his own, which is pretty certain to be as
objectionable as that of Mr. Lodge. The
more bills there are, however, the less the
chance of any one of them passing will be.
A New York newspaper asked a number
of public men what, iu their opinion, was
the chief cau-e of poverty in this country.
Edward Atkinson said ignoran e and in
capacity; Chauncey M. Dopew and Henry
Clews said rum. Dr. William A. Hamm md’s
ideas are interesting enough to quote entire.
He said: “In my opinion the chief cause of
poverty at the present time is civiiiz ition.
Foverty never exists among utter barba
rians. But with refinement and education
differentiation begins and then poverty
makes its appearance. At first it is physi
cal force that makes one richer than his
neighbor. Ho takes what he wants vi et
armis, but as he becomes more refined he
uses his intellect to accomplish his objects,
and skill, tact, cunning, knowledge bring
him to the front. As long as men have
more brains and more muscle than other
men, poverty will exist. To get rid of it
we should have to return to that period of
the world’s history when man began to
emerge from a lower form."
Last week tho Louisiana Lottery Com
pany sent to Gov. Nichols a check for
if 100,00(J to be used to help protect the
people from inundation in Louisiana. Tne
governor rofused to accept it. He wrote
the company a dignified letter, in which he
said: “On the eve of a session of the legisla
tureduring which the renewal or extension
of your charter will he acted upon—a ques
tion vitally affecting the interests of this
state—l have no right to place the people
under obligations to your company, in how
ever small a degree, by rny acceptance of a
gratuity from it. I herewith return you
the check.” The compa ,y sent a checa for
$50,000 to Mayor Shakespeare, of New Or
leans for expenditure iu that citv, and the
mayor accepted it. Does the action of the
company mean that it is going to try to get
the Louisiana legislature to extend its
chart®! ?
The report that loth Prince Bismarck
and his son, Ccuut Herbert Bismarck, had
resigned was the occasion of a great deal of
comment in European capital! yesterday.
If til 2 report of Prince Bismarck’s resigna
tion should prove to bo true it would not
cause a groat deal of surprise. He was
greatly disappointed at tho losult of the re
ceut elections, and he feels that be is gettiug
too old to bear the burdens which the
formation of a majority in the Reichstag
to support the government wou and impo e
upon him. It may be also that be is not in
full accord with the ernperor in some very
important respects. His retirement from
public life would be ail event, however, that
would attract wide attention.
CANADA! HARD TO OUST.
Quay May, However, Get His Friend
in James R. Young's Place.
Washixgto.h, March 17. —When ex-
Senator Mabone lugzested to bit friend
Senator Quav that if he could turn Cana
day out of the office of sergeant-at-arms it
would at once pique Se ator Sherman,
pie ise ex-Senator Mahone. aud make a
place for ex-State Treasurer Bailey, whom
Se: ator Quay had fail i to get app liuted
commissioner of Facile railroids, Senator
Quay juiupe i at it au 1 wout right to work
ou that li e. He f .und Mr. Canaday
strongly entrenched in the uppo t of the
older senators, but as-umiug t r.t he could
nevertheless got Mr. Cana lav cut by utiliz
ing the dissatisfaction i ways exi-iing to
ward him, be found that it would be i:n
prac icable to get the [ lace for Mr. Bailey
while James R. Young, the well-known
Pniiad Iphia new-p .p-r man and britner
of John Russell Young, held the office of
principal legislativecie k.
YOCXO MAY BE REMOVED.
This proved his greatest obstacle. Ac
cordingly, he has been endeavoring to re
move it. Mr. Young, who was appointed
largely by the influence of Simon Cameron,
Imslal the support of Don Cameron, but
has never bad Senator Quay’s. Now Sena
tor Quay, and not Sennt >r Cameron, is the
boss of Pennsylvania, and ns Senat r Quay
prefers Mr. Bailey lo Mr. Young, the latter
will probably retire. It will not uocessardy
follow that r. Canalay will be removed or
that Mr. Bailey will be appointed M .
Canaday’s successor if ho is removed. In
tho multitude of candidates is safety for the
incumbent and danger iu this cose for Mr.
Bailey. But Mr. Bailey may get Mr.
Young’s place. Senator Quay may drop
in soon to fix it all up.
OTHER CHANGES PROBABLE.
This attempt to dislodge S-rgeant-at-
Arms Canaday may precipitate other
changes among the minor officers of the
Senate. Gen. Anson G. McCook of New
York, secretary of tho renal e, was elected
largely through the influence of Warner
Miller, then iu the Senate. Warner Miller
has very little influence in the Senate now,
but Gen. McCook has the forma) supp rt, at
least, of the present New York senators
and the friendship of many others, includ
ing especially the old s ildie: sand the
y< unger men. But the chief clerk, Charles
IU. Johnson, of Minnesota, has been at
tacked ftom Minnesota as well as from the
floor of the Senate, and while he has the
strong mi:nHn'r, of Senator Washburn he
may be dislodged.
YOUNG SURE TO GO.
_ Mr. Young is pretty certain to go under
Senator Quay’s pressure. Senator Quay
giving hi a a chance to resigo. Tne tnree
or four other important clerks are believed
to be secured.
Mr. Canaday will have to move out of
the office of sergeant-at-arms ultimately,
but all his principal subordinates, from old
Isaac Bassett down, have influence enough
to bo kept in.
The postmaster of the Senate was chosen
this session, and will not be disturbed,
neither will Amzi Smith, the indispensible
superintendent of the document roam, but
there w ill probably be a number of changes
among the minor subordinates if Mr. Cana
day goes.
DUTIES ON SUGAR.
The Agreement of the Majority of
the faouse Committee.
Washington, March 17. —The republican
members of the ways and means committee
have finally reached an agreement upon the
sugar schedule. They have agreed to make
raw sugar from No. 16, Dutch standard,
down dutiable at 35 per cent, ad valorem,
and refined sugar above 16, Dutch standard,
dutiable at 40 per cent, ad valorem. This
is equivalent to a 50 per ce it. reduction
of many grades of sugar and to
more than 50 per cent, on others.
The reduction will average a cut of above
50 per ce.ir., and will reduce the revenue
from $2’>,000,000 to $28,000,000. There is
no provision made for the payment of any
bounty whatever.
DOUBLES THE MILLS BILL.
The cut in tho sugar duty which will thus
be made is more than two and a bait times
that proposed by the Mills bill, and the duty
will be coliec ed upon the value and not
upon the pound as heretofore. The duty
given refiners is only 5 per cent,
more than that given raw
sugar men, and the classifying of
raw sugar as 16 or beiow will admit of
grades of merchantable sugar fit for domes
tic uses. It is hoped and believed that this
will take away from the refiners the
power to rai e the price of sugar to the
consumer at will.
A. CONCESSION TO THE WEST.
The republicans regard this heavy reduc
tion of sugar duties as a most generous con
cession to western sentiment. The rate
fixed is lowor than the rate fixed
by the Senate tariff bill, and is
moreover free from the objec ion raised
agai st the Senate bill, viz.: the bounty
clause. The Senate bill made a reduction
of 50 per cent, and gave a bounty of 1 cent
per pound. The action of the republican
members of tho ways and means committee
makes a cut of even more than 50 per cent.,
and elimi. ates the experiment of paying a
bonus to one class of producers directly
from the treasury.
TAXING COMPOUND LARD.
Augusta’s Cotton Exchange Protests
Against the Conger Bill.
Washington. March 17.—Siuce the re
port by the subcommittee of the House
committee on agriculture to the full com
mittee of the Conger bill defining and tax
ing compound lard, tie committee has
received a number of telegrams from
various points in the south prote ting
agai st ti e passage of the bill taxing com
pound lard, such legislation, those protest
ing say, bemg regarded as a direct blow at
their i terests as cotton planters. One of
these telegrams is from the Augusta (Ga.)
Cotton Exchange, and says:
The Augusta Cotton Exc ange, representing
the interest of this cotton country, earnestly
protest againsi the passage of the Butterworth
a id Conger bills, tne effect of which will be to
create a tax on cotton seed oil. These bil.s, if
passed, will crush the cotton seed industry of
the south, and are an outra re and injustice on
every planter and merchant, as well as the
eottnn seed interests, in the entire cotton plant
ing states. We respectfully protest against any
measure that ngl tend to put a tax on cotton
seed oil.
DUDLEY’S CHANCES.
They Now Rest on tho Issue Between
Buck and Brown.
Washington, March 17.—The confirma
tion of Dudley as postmaster at Americus
has iuvolvtd a question of veracity between
Cob Buck and W. W. Brown. Mr. Sawyer
of Wisconsin, chairman of the Senate com
mittee on posto.iices, has received a letter
from Col. Buck, in which the following pas
sage occurs: “W. W. Brown, a leading re
publican, has boen to Americus to investi
gate toe case and finds that be (David A.
Dudlo>) is in every way competent and his
appointine t a proper one to be made.” If
this statement is correct Dudley will be con
firmed on M . Brown’s ivcoinmendat.on,
but Senator Colquitt has Mr. Brown’s e ird
denying that sta.ement. Unless Co 1 . Buck
proves his statement Dudley wifi be re

PAN-AMERICAN RECIPROCITY.
The Delegate of the Argentine Re.
public Favora Free Trade.
Washington, March 17. —Dicussioa of
the reports of the committee oa customs
union was continued at to-day’s session of
the par.-Arnerican conference. At Satur
day’s session M. Sienz-Fena of the Argen
tine Republic spoke for an hour or more
in favor of free trade betwee 1 Ameri
can nations, stating that the taritf
levied by the congress of the United States
stood ii the way of exendlig the com
merce between this country and the Souta
American states.
In answer to this C. R. Flint, one of the
delegates from the United States, presented
official figures by wniuh it appears that < f
the total amount of produce t u chased by
merchants of the United States fr m the
countries of South and Central America 87J-*
per ce t. was admitted free of duty, leavig
only 12 per cent, with which to trade for

RETREAT OF THE BOOMERS.
Only a Few Will Wait for the Troops
to Drive Them Out.
Arkansas City, March 17.—And still
they come, hack from the Cherokee strip.
All day yesterday disappointed, delu Id
boomers alighted from the heavily-lado 1
trains which brought them from thj prom
ised land. Reports from Caldwell and
Hun swell state that there has been lit ie
excitement bayond the advent of a few
belated settlers, who have not heard of the
President’s proclamation. Lieut. Charles
Hodge of Gen Merritt’s staff arrived here
yesterday from Fort Leavenworth. Speak
ing of the situatio 1 Lieut. Dodge said: “I
am informei that a largo number of boom
ers now located on the strip left voluntarily
when they learned the c m’ditions. A few
will remain until ordered out by the mili
tary. It can be authoritatively stated that
should the troops be calie i out they will bs
located in the southern part of t.;e strip,
where they can make an effective patrol.”
It is unde: stood here that Lieut. Hodge
telegraphed Gen. Merritt to that effect yes
terday, and troops are expected scon.
A CATTLE OWNER’S OBSERVATIONS.
Ira Burnett, a large cattle owner near
here, his returned from an extended trip
over his range and reports that no cattle
have been killed bv tbefire3 or the boomers.
He estimates the number of acres burned to
be at least 100,000, but thinks that enough
remains to feed the cattle until new grass
sprouts. He also reports the colonists on
their way out of the strip in great numbers,
and was of the opinion that but few would
be left for the military to displace.
PROBABLE PLAN OF THE MILITARY.
Guthrie, I. TANARUS., March 17. —lnquiry at
the mili.ary headquarters here elicits’ the
information that when the military com
panies arrive here they will be dispatched
in a day or two to the Cherokee, line and
will there be cut up into detachments a id
deployed in a line that will probably c iver
twenty miles. Very little, of course, can
be learned about the commands, but enough
has been gleaned to warrant the statement
that this skirmish liue will cross through
the strip, over sixty miles, as rapidly as
possible, aud then by flank movements to
to the right and left will return to Oklahoma.
By this means the entirest: ip will probably
be cleared in less than two weeks.
BRIBE-TAKING LAW OFFICERS.
Two Arrests Croats a Sensation
Among New York Politicians.
New York, March 17.—Deputy Commis
sioner of Public Works Bernard F. Martin
was arrested to-day on an indictment

then order of arrest clerk, received a bribe
of *7OO from him for the privilege of leav
ing the jail eve-y day and consulting with
his lawyers. This privilege, he says, was
accorded him for eight days. These arrosts
created considerable excitement. Five in
dictments for transactions of a similir
character are said to havo been found.
Great activity was observed this afternoon
among the detectives who make the district
attorney’s offio their headquarters.
Philip Walsh was placed under arrest this
afternoon. He was connected with the or
der of arrest department under Sheriff
