Prisoner OF war Pensions,

The bill reported from the House Commit
tee on invalid Pensions to pension prisoners
Of war provides that alisuch disabled persons
shall be granted pensions at the rate fixed for
similar disabilities in honorably discharged
soldiers where the disability is presumed to
be the result of confinement in Southern
prisons. The committee estimate that will
require $1,ll0,0OO annually to meet this addi-
tion to the pension rolls. The bill also pro-
yides that all persons confined for more than
thirty days in Southern prisons shall receive
per diem of 80 for each days confinement,
and to meet the expenditure on this account
it is estimated will require an appropriation
of about $4,OO0,0O0. There are about 25,0O0
ex-prisoners now living.

Are Parsonage Taxable?

This question is so frequently asked that .
decision of the Supreme Court, rendered in
1880, in the case of Gerke Va. Purcell, 25 Ohio
Statutes, 22s, may be of general interest
The decision is here given:
A parsonage, although built on ground
which might otherwise be exempt as attached
to the church edifice, does not come within
the exemption. The ground In such case Ii
appropriated TO a new and different use
Instead of being used exclusively for prblis
worship Il becomes a place of private resi-
as may be used for the support Of public
worship, but Of houses used exclusive a.

TnELocAL PArKR. David Davis
tells the frozen truth when he says:
Each year every local paper gives
from 500 to $500 IN free lines for the
benefit Of the community in which IL
is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The local editor in pro-
portion to his means does more for his
town than any other ten men and in
all fairness man with man he ought to
be supported not because you like him
or happen to admire his writings but
because local paper is the best in-
vestment a community can make. 1t
may not be brilliant or crowded with
great thoughts. but financially it Is
more OF benefit to community than
a preacher or teacher. Understand
us now, we do not mean morally or in
tellectually but financially, and yet on
the moral question you will find the
majority of the local papers on the
right side Of the question. To-day the
editors of local papers do the most
work for the least pay than any men
on earth. Subscribe for your local
paper, not as a charity but as an
investment"

GOLD VOTER" HEARD FROM.

DKLAwARE DIsTmcr, q. n, Dee. II, lsss
EDITOR OF CHIEFTAIH:-I have
read both of "Young Voters" re-
pics to the communications of J.
NJ. Taylor, Jr., and hope you will
permit an old voter to add word.
As Mr.. Taylor declines to tell
"Young Voter" whether the Rab-
bit Bunch who is now candidate
tor chief, is the same Rabbit Bunch
who went into the Cherokee senate
chamber with n lot Of armed meA
at his heels, and tried to intimi-
date the senators from confirming
VIM. p. Adair as a delegate to
Washington, ! will tell him that
he is the same identical Rabbit.
| was there and saw it, and thought
at the time that a man who would
do such an outrageous act, should
never be honored with a position
Of honor and trust in the Cherokee
nation. If Mr.. Taylor calls that
high handed outrage, patriotic, he
has different ideas of the meaning
OF the word than | have. Wm. p.
Adair afterwards beat this same
Rabbit in an election before the
people, and was appointed and
confirmed delegate several times.
| think the friends of the great and
patriotic VIM. Penn Adair, will
remember this brutal act Of Rabbit
Bunch when they come TO cast
their votes, next August. / hope
Mr.. Taylor, Jr., will understand
from what have said that / shall
vote for Judge Joel Mayes, a man
of Intelligence and patriotism, who
in my opinion is sure to be our next
chief. OLD VOTER.

IT is rumored that Bunch is, by
an actual count of noses, declared
beaten already by ZOO majority t,
and that he is going to be pulled
down, nolsns volcns, and Bushy-
head put up in his place. AS a
kind Of pacification for the humil-
iation, il is said he will be put a
notch lower. 1t may be that he
will not be so easily satisfied,
should he know that all this ir a
scheme to displace him.

together they compose what is
termed the joint commission. AS
the act creating such a commission
must first receive the secretary
approval followed by an appoint
ment of a member en- part Of the
United States, time will be re.
quired before actual work will
begin. Geo. o. Sanders, as clerk;
r. w. Walker, of Flint, as attorney
for the nation and A. N. Chamber
lin, of Vinita, MS interpreter, have
received appointments. The other
commission appoints their own
sheriff, clerk and interpreter.
The act authorizing the chief to
proceed against the Southern Kan
sas railroad company has passed
both houses.
This morning a severe act against
the carrying Of weapons came from
the council, and was made much
more severe by the senate. The
act as it now stands requires the
sherifis to disarm every one and to
report them to the solicitors. In
case a sheriff shall refuse or fail to
do so, he shall be removed from
Office by the chief upon evidence
of the fact. Should the solicitor,
when report has been made TO him
refuse or fail to prosecute, he
shall be removed in the same
MANNER. Heavy fines and other
penalties are prescribed for oil
violations of the act.
The chief sent down a special
message to the same effect, but he
had been anticipated by the coun-
Gil, as the act had already passed
both houses, amended by the
senate, which will surely be con-
cured in by the house.
An act to insure the Male and
Female seminaries and Orphan
asylum, at one per cent. on
sS4, 900, is placed in the hands Of
the chief.
This morning instructions to the
delegation were under considera-
tion. While in the senate Sarkeah
or "Soggy," as he is Significantly
called, offered an amendment in
viting the chief to accompany the
delegation. President Bell de-
manded that he give, if he had any,
his reasons why he made such a
request, or why it was necessary
that the chief should be invited.
Failing to give any at all, Mr.. Bird
Jones arose and gave several rea-
sons why he should not. One was,
that according to late decision OF
supreme court in the case of Lind
sey against the Cherokee nation,
the nation had no head. 1t didn't
make a bit of difference whether
the court was correct or not, but il
served the purpose of defeating
Mr.. Sarkeah's amendment.
Tuesday morning, Dec. 21.-Last
night at 10 o'clock, the national
council adjourned in order and
good feeling. No bills were passed
but several to appropriate sums
were defeated. President Bell
made a nice little speech in which
he referred to their relations in
legislative matters and differences
in politics. He hoped that what
they had done would result in
general good TO the country and
not any dissatisfaction or injury
He believed that many would not
return, not on account of any
providencial hinderance, but on
account of something else. He
then declared the senate branch ol
the national council adjourned
without day.
