MEErINa OF THE CLANS.

The two political parties, the
National and Downing, will meet
in convention next Monday to
nominate candidates for principal
and assistant chieves. Bunch
seems, at present,to be the coming
man on part of the Nationals. The
seconds place lies between several,
as many persons are spoken Of.
Some say he will DO q southern
man, thereby recognizing distinc-
tion on account of the sides taken
in the war, but others ignore such
distinction and move for some one
most suitable for the place, and
who has been and is yet a member
of that party.
The Downings seem not so de-
cided in their selection for chief.
Judge Mayes seems from all indica-
t;5ns to be the man, but "there's
mony slip 'twixt the cup and
the lip" that may surprise his
numerous friends. Though a long
ways off "our special agent and
attorney" may be manipulating
the wires to secure future power
regardless of any particular party
being victorious.
Watch as well as prey.

SOMEBODY HAS TOLD A
"WHOPPER."

II is rather refreshing "in thin
weak piping time of peace" and
the fruitless endeavor TO keep cool
to notice with what alacrity our
friend, William A. Phillips quick
steps TO relieve himself of the
charge Of having misrepresented
the Creek delegation as to their
want of earnestness in opposing the
opening up Of Oklahoma to white
settlement. But more refreshing
still is the cool style of his denial
Of having authorized such a thing,
by saying that he was a ''little sur
prised"-just alittle-"at the state
mcnts made" He says that "the
statement that the Greeks had APP
piled to him to prepare a brief
embodying a proposition for the
sale Of Oklahoma is untrue. +"
Somebody has lied; he or the
Globe-Democrat man. But IL is
beyond surmise what object the
Globe-Democrat man had in pub
fishing anything 80 imfamously
false; while il is easy of conjecture
why Phillips would perpetrate such
a thing himself. His refusal 10 ac-
commodate the Greeks in measure
so unpopular among the Cherokees,
would, when made known TO them,
60 to re-establish their wavering
confidence in him. That the dis
patch as published in the Globe
Democrat has been industriously
circulated among tho full Cherokecs
is perhaps fact that cannot be
remtod. lie and the Globe-Demo-
crat man for it.
Since the appearance Of the dis
patch and the various remarks con-
ccming il, the reading public
"herebouts" are anxiously await
ing developments-would like TO
see what theGlobe. Democrat has to
say about il, whether on not il win
ireas the matter with "silent con-
lenpi" " or whether Il will put on
waF paint and 50 % hair-lifsing.

George Washington ASSERTS that it
is railroad sectionizing movement
and half the land is to be sold at
once. And Immediately Afterwards
says that the lease money is to be
appropriated to pay the United
States, and the United States be
left unpaid and somebody pocket
the lease money. Can't he see
that he contradicts himself2 Last
summer a platform of 1.-THE Union
party" was published as being
adopted at Landrum springs when
Adair was nominated and It ap-
peared over his name as president.
If no resolutions were adopted
there, then for q year and more he
has left your readers and youself
with his published endorsement of
fraud, misstatement or whopper,
as people may be disposed TO call
il. What is done over a mans
signature and he does not repudi-
ate at once publicly is taken as car
rying all weight of his name.
The man who denounces others
and assigns evil motives TO them
ought not to destroy his own char
acter for accuracy or veracity.
This platform was not publicly re-
pudiated by Adair or his ticket in
your columns although it was
twice published. When are we to
believe statements published over
Wash Adair's name2 Whenever
he chooses TO change them2 This
platform denounced" Phillips.
What was Phillips denounced for
and why is Adair opposed TO Phil
lips unless he and his "accompli-
ces" believe Phillips guilty of some
skullduggery2 Even Phillips was
entitled TO an investigation. When
ever Adair gets intelligence enough
to file proper charges against
Schrimsher and Bell or realizes
that he needs other help to so do,
il will be ample time for the dele
gates to answer. l seek no contro-
versy with any man. Yet at the
same time l meet issues of all
kinds that men raise with me; and
when a young man runs a-muck
and assails the motives of all who
he chooses to denounce because he
is opposed to them, and does not
state what remedies he proposes
in place of those he assails, he
must expect that some one will fat
ly contradict him.
Adair's meeting organized with
some ten men after the meeting
presided over by Cunningham ad-
journed. ] leave it to Adair, Mode
and their associates to settle among
themselves whether a fraudulent
platform was published. If Adair's
associates deny his statement that
no resolutions were adopted, and
point to his inaccuracies and un-
fortunate habit of saying things
that an intelligent man "in the in
timacy of his own conscience"
would know were untrue, an intel
ligent public will give them the
verdict. Respectfully,
RIDGE PAscHAL.

DESPITE the precaution taken by
the senate, last council, it seems
that Col. William A. Phillips has
outdone them. His letter, denying
that the Creeks had applied to him
to prepare a brief conveying a
proposition to sell their western
lands, says the Creeks knew that
he twas engaged for the Cherokee
nation in resisting all these
measures"-the opening up of
Oklahoma to white settlement.
This statement clearly shows that
the Creek delegation surely had
too much sense to apply 70 him
for such a purpose, but it don't
90 to prove that he did not prompt
that dispatch in the Globe
Democrat.

Miners and Operators in Council
ARBITRATION To BE THE METHOD
OF SETTLING DISPUTES

The Interstate Convention of Miners
and Operators at Columbus last week
was harmonious in its working, and
reasonable spirit was manifested by all in
attendance. Delegates were present from
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia. The following scale was
adopted: Pittsburg, Il cents per ton;
Hooking Valley, 60 cents; Indiana Block,
so cents; Indiana Bituminous 1, 65; In
diana Bituminous 2, rs; Wilmington, Ill,
95; Streeter, 80; Grape Creek, rs; Des
Moines, To-, 80. At West Virginia the
Kanawha district reduced prices to be re-
stored to Is cents; Renoldsville, Fair
mount screen coal II cents.
In order to make provision for the ad-
| justment of any possible differences from
local considerations, Mr.. Mcbride offered
the following, which was adopted by the
Convention:
"Resozced, That board of arbitration
and Cancellation, consisting of five miners
and five operators at large, and one miner
and one operator from each of the coal
producing States represented in the scale,
be elected by the Convention, and that all
questions of an interstate OF national
character be submitted to this board for
adjustment; and that we would also rec
ommend that the miners and mine opera
tors of each of the several States proceed
at an early date to elect similar boards of
arbitration and concillation, to whom all
questions of State Importance shall be re-
ferred for adjustment"
The members of this Committee for
Ohio are Fl. L. Chapman, Chris. Evans,
Oscar Townsend and John Mcbride. Col.
w. P. Rend, of Chicago, addressed the
Convention, and thought that the opera
tors at Pittsburgh who refused to partici-
pate in the Convention would adopt the
work of the Convention as the proper
thing, for three-fourths of the miners
west of the Alleghenies were represent
ed
1t is good indication when men-em-
ployed and employers-meet and talk
over their business affairs in friendly
manner, indicating that justice will be
done, when operators and miners agree to
settle all possible differences by friendly
arbitration, the only manner in which
difficulties can be settled with profit to
either side.
The Convention decided that the eight
hour law shall go into effect May 1st, un-
less two-thirds of the miners represented
shall decide in favor of the measure on or
before April 1st
