Though the republican papers have
almost without exception, attempted 10
find something wrong in Gov. Clicks
administration Of affairs they have fail
ed, so far, entirely, and il pressed close
for the truth would have to admit that
he had not even made one mistake.
But in the absence of any real cause for
their abuse and criticisms these same
papers have Matched up few small
matters which they have been harping
on, the most serious being that his son
acts rs his private secretary; that he
copied after the style of some other
governor i'm issuing his arbor day proc
lamation; and That he is inclined to
claim credit for some work he did for
the state on his recent visit TO Wash
ington. None OF these Offenses make
him liable 70 impeachment; so we
conclude he has a good record so far.
lie comes nearer being the Governor Of
the people than anyone who has hereto
fore occupied the important office. And
1t won't take very considerable
amount of work to put him in the Uni
ted States Senate, instead of Ingalls,.

\ special session Of the Choctaw In
dian council met at Armstrong acade-
my, the capital Of the nation, this week
to consider the freedman question. BY
the treaty Of 1898, between the federal
government and the confcderatCd Indi-
ans, the Choctaws and Chickasaws
agreed 10 emancipate and give the usu-
al rights To the colored people i'm their
nation within two years, for which the
United States was to give them S3OO,-

The Choctaws failed To adopt them,
and the government To move them, and
they have been there ever since with
out either citizenship rights, or title to
the land they work. The Choctaws now
desire to adopt them, and it is for this
purpose that their council was called.

The Cherokee council in special scss-
ion ut Tahlequah has two bills before
1t hooking towards leasing the Strip to
stockmen for grazing purposes. Both
Of the bills provide for leasing for not
less than one hundred thousand dollars
per anuum all of the so-called Cherokee
strip lands-aggregating about six mil
lion acres. One Of the bills fixes the
sum at SlOO,0OO-the other at not less
than SlOO,OOO. The former gives the
lease To the "Strip Live Stock Associa-
tion'-the latter gives il to the same
parties provided they are willing to pay
aS much as any other party and not less
than SlO0,0O per annuh-leases To
run not exceeding five years, with priv
ilege Of renewal at same rates. Both
bills provide that sale Of the lands i'm
question at any time by the Nation
failure To pay rental, etc, shall, with
six months notice, terminate lease.
Both bills fail to provide any safe
guards whatever against excessive graz
ing, whereby the value Of these lands,
as a grazing field, may be ruined or
greatly damaged. The Cherokee Advo-
cate says there are no less than five dis
tinct interests after these lands; but il

THE FAIR DIVORCE

III is the popular thing now for the
wives of the bonanza kings to become
tired of their lords and apply for di-
vOrce. The last instance is that of Sell
ator Fair of Nevada. He is worth ten
millions, it is said, and was a proyilent
husband, at least. But Mrs. Fair
thought she could do better in business
for herself and asked for and obtained
divorce last week. The court also al
lowed her 81, &c, 600 in money and Uni
ted States bonds, and the splendid fam
lily residence in San Francisco. Most
any woman should lie satisfied with
such alimony.
But doesn't it appear odd that the
wives of these milliOnaires are seldom
happy with their husbandsP In nearly
every instance they and their husbands
started life in poverty. happy and con-
tented. The wife is responsible in a
great measure for the success of her
husband. Yet, no sooner does he reach
the limit in riches; when honOrs are
thrust quickly if not justly upon him,
than it occurs that the man or woman
becomes tired of the partner of their
younger and less prosperous days, and
the courts are asked to open TO them the
avenue of escape from matrimonial
bondage.
For want of a better reason for this,
we must attribute il TO the suddenly
acquired wealth, and the consequent
turning of heads. The man has new
companions who toast and dine him;
he is made captive by some female be-
witcher. and his following acts though
by no means secret, are not publicly
condemned, and he begins to think he
has the right to desert his own house
hold for the glitter of his new haunts.
All this time he has been supplying his
wife with an unlimited amount of cash,
and i'll her exciting efforts to spend it,
to buy her way into society, to eclipse
her less fortunate though more intelli-
gent acquaintances, she loses sight of
her husband. But when the days of
revelry become tiresome, and when age
and i'll health demands slight cessa-
ton from dissipation, she looks for the
husband of her younger days, and finds
he has strayed away; that he has de-
serted the home ranch and is pastut Dc
in greener fields, and is 10th to give w
his new happiness.
What becom of the husband we al
know. He marries younger and more
handsome woman, who proceeds to
squander his wealth in a manner that
could not be attained by his old wife;
he becomes jealous, increases the size
and frequency of his drinks, and dies d
wreck.
His first wife lives few unhappy
years, almost in seclusion, and she toe
dies, unhappy and even miserable.
There appears to be something il
suddenly acquired wealth or fame that
shuts out the noble deeds of a man.
life, and makes him cold and selfish
neglectful of those who have before
been comfort to him; who have beer
the indirect means OF directing him t
his good fortune. Men of science, let
tiers, politics and religion, who are NOR,
than usually successful are too frequent
ly ruined as husbands, by their sudden
transpositiOns.

honest in their lottery work, but they certainly
are not posted as what constitutes an honest lot
