Aeneas Ridge.

The killing OF our fellow citizen, A
L. Ridge, on the 18th inst, at Joe
Dahforth's mills, near Springfield, Mo-,
by q. W. Whiteside, and other officers,
is greatly regretted in the Cherokee
Nation. In consideration Of the false
hoods circulated in regard to Gidge's
character by those interested in de-
tending the action Of the officers, in
his unnecessary destruction, il is prop
er to state, what is generally well
known here, that Eneas Ridge was not,
and has never been desperate nor
has he ever killed anybody as has been
charged. lie has been known here
since his childhood having grown up
here, a student OF the male Seminary,
then teacher in the common schools
till the time of his trouble. lie is con-
nected BY blood with the best people
of this country and was married to one
of our most purest and promising
young ladies', Miss Annie Daniels. His
life was quiet, stra ghtforward and
Honorable and until the unhapy diff
Guilty which ended in his tragic death,
was without reproach. The beginning
Of the tragedy was this.
1t was summer vacation and as teach
er Eneas' time was unemployed. With
some conyiyial friends, who had some
stimulents, he drank; of high spirit he
could not stand the insolence of negro
who cursed him. Becoming furious, as
soon as he could he got weapon and
fired at the man who was then nearly
across the river. He missed the object
of his anger and wounded another in
the arm. He did wrong and was very
sorry, but, unhapily, it could not be
undone. Except this Ridge stands free
from blame. He was an honorable |
kind and faithful friend |
and, the Cherokees at least, know that
stories tothe contrary are slanderous.
Poor fellow; may you rest in peace, far
,reater than any here. We extend
'ur heartfelt sympathy to the many
riends who loved him.

10 the Teachers sfiAs Nation.

No people are morv interested u
the diffusion ef knowledge than
the people Of ibis Nation. Va
have schools and teachers ID abund
anee. Asa body our teachers arr
good, and interested in the work
SO much 80 that they have entirely
lost sight Of self. They have cho'
SEN a profession and failed to elo-
yaie il. The lawyer, the doctor
ond other professional men have
combined themselves into associa-
tions for their protection against
quacks. Teachers in the states
have been as wise, let Us follow
their example. Create Cherokee
National association, elect a presi-
dent and other necessary officers,
have a constitution and bylaws
worthy the profession We follow,
and let il be done at once. The
man or women who chooses a pro-
fossion Of honor, must force the
world 10 honor that position by
holding il above contempt.
We hope no teacher that reads
this article will fail TO give il
thought; il is a matter of much
Importance to you. Take ability
and morality for your standard,
accepting none inIo your ranks
that are not capable and worthy,
and you will soon rule the educa-
tional interests of this country in
stead of being ruled by them and
being forced 10 exc ont miserable
life on the pittance now paid.
The above remarks sugge1t a
very wise and proper policy to the
better and more experienced teach
ers for the elevation oftheir pro-
fession. If such an association
were formed by the teachers them
selves on a basis of qualification in
professional ability, it would be a
very short time till they could
command enough influence by
their united efforts to control the
legislation Of Council in school
control better salaries, Sc
cure better Boards of Education by
placing their best members on that
Board, and exercise generally a
healthful influence over school
matters. We want to hear from
some thinking teacher on this sub
ect. Work it up by talking, writ
ng, organizing.

As the elections are approaching
we deem it proper to name the
candidates of the two political par
ties in the Cherokee Nation, with
the platform of each. The Nation
al platform was given US by a Ma
tional man and the Union platform
by a Union man. If there are any
mistakes in either platform we
will cheerfully correct them.
They are. however, exact copies
Of the platforms given US. 1t is
the duty Of citizens interested in
the country's welfare to carefully
weigh the principles set forth in
these platforms and vote according
to their deliberate convictions
aside from any political lies that
may be told about the respective
candidates. In our honest opin-
ion We do not believe that either
Hon. Chas. Thompson or Hon. d.
W. Bushyhead would intentional
ly do anything wrong, and we sim
cerely hope the politicians Of both
parties may plead their causes
with the people without fddling
on the wom out string Of SANDER.
The first big lie we hear on Chas.
Thompson OF Bushyhead we arc
going to publish il as such.
