sALuTATORY-

In assuming editorship of the
CHIEFrAIN / fully recognize the
peculiar attitude in which | place
myself before the people, not only
as a dispenser Of news, but as one
who should have clear and correct
views of public matters and
measures, and is not in the least
afraid or backward in giving them
expression such will be the
course Of the CHIEFrAIS while
directly under my control, tenn
pered with respect when respect is
due, and courteous and dispas-
sionate in honest controversy.
AS heretofore the CHIEFTAlS viii
be neutral in politics, espousing
Anly that which it conceives TO be
the right, and having little or no
mercy on that which is criminally
wrong In doing this the approval
and support of an intelligent pub
lie is expected.
That n journal, neutral in poll
tlc, fearless and outspoken in
condemning fraud and maladmin-
istration Of affairs, fayoring honest
effort wherever found, struggling
for the right and the general vel
fare Of the people, is a public
necessity no one can reasonable
deny.
Such therefore, will be the course
pf the CHIEFrArN.

This is what Commissioner
Atkins says about the Indian Ter.
ritory in his late report;
What practical development
lies before the Indians of the In
dian Territory it is impossible to
fofesee; but one thing is evident.
The idea Of maintaining permanent
ly an imperium in emperio, such as
now exists, must, in some respects,
be abandoned. The idea of In
dian nationality is fast fading
away, and the more intelligent
Indians are awaking to that fact.
In word, the Indians of the In
dian Territory must sooner or later
break up their tribal relations,
take their lands in severalty, and
to all interests and purposes be.
come citizens of the United States,
and be amenable to its laws, as
well as to enjoy its high and
distinguished privileges. When
that is done they will be prepared
to dispose of the surplus lands they
crn to the best advantage to
themselves, and in a spirit pro bono
publieo.
Does he allude to the outlet?

VALmDTOTORY.

In sovering my editorial conncc-
tion with the CmEFrAIN / am
aware that the loss to it is small
and easily rcparable in another.
However, what little / have done
IN that capacity has been done con-
scicntiously and with due respect
for the opinions Of those who have
honestly differed. / have believed
and do still think there is an inn
portant mission in this field for an
Independent paper. l commend
the CmEFTATN to my friends as
such and have reason to believe its
future management will sustain for
II the reputation already earned of
being just, as well as Independent.
Ii has been fettered by NC party
considerations, but our aim has
been to discuss principles, parties,
and those who originate them, in
so far only as the latter by so doing
became the property of the com
monwealth. We have claimed
and exercised the right of individ-
ual liberty Of speech and / rejoice
that my people have reached the
goal and placed the foot upon the
rock of hear-say and transcendent-
alism. While there is much TO
admiringly revert to in the good
old days Of party purity and non
interference, the fact to-day is that
the wheel of fortune has gone
round and we find ourselves in the
midst Of an ocean OF intelligent ac-
tivity. so that self preservation de-
mands that we open our eyes to
the light, however unpleasant to
our unaccustomed vision. Vigil
ance is most certainly the watch
word Of liberty and successful COM
petition. Our bark has hoated
out upon the bosom of human
society and unless we stretch
sail we are lost. There is
no lack of natural sense
and cultivated tact in the
relm if the people, emancipated
from the thraldom of credulity,
thinking for themselves, will see
that it is brought to the front.
The people must "be up and doing
with a heart for every fate"
This we have inculcated-
nothing more. Other interests
demand my whole attention and
necessitate my leaving the CHIEF
TAIN. Those directly connected
with it, including the very worthy
associate editor have my sincere
thanks for courteous bearing and |
all else which has done so much to |
make the association pleasant and |
in retiring from the lists l would
cordially salute the knights OF the
quill with whom we may have
strnck steel. S. j. THOMPSON.
