WAsHINGToN, April 7.--There seems TO
be growing impression that the tariff
bin will pass the house. Bitter opposi-
ton TO IL win come from the Republican
side, and motion 70 strike out the en-
acting clause will DO made by Mckinley.
The plan Of the protectioDlsts IL TO secure
as long general debate as possible and
at the close 10 move 10 strike out the en-
acting clause. Reed OF Maine said to-
day tIat he could not tell whether the bill
would pass or not, and he did not care,
much. The Democrats were strising At
the business Of the country, and he did
not care II they got their bill through.
New England would, OF course, oppose
N. Mr. Holman and Gen. Forney ex-
pressed the opinion that the tariff bill
would 20 through the house. The
men who are avowed protectionisis
upon principle will, OF course, oppose
the bill very bitterly, and every man from
Ohio Is expected to cry out against the
hand OF congress being placed in his
wool. What the Democrats who are
protectionists oDlY to the extent OF watch
ing their statLe' Interests, will do where
their interests are not touched, cannot be
told, and much depends on their action.

COMBINATIONS.

WASHINGTON, April IA considerable
number of suspended cases were acted
upon favorably by the senate to-day.
They were of the three classes First,
postmasters whose predecessors and
nclghbors had made no opposition or
protest OF any kind; second, OF those
against whose confirmation protests had
been made and charges nled by other
than the outgoing postmasters, but
which charges had been proved on inves-
tigation by the committee 10 BIO without
foundation, and third, in cases
in which the suspended officers
had themselves become satisfied that
there were no charges other
than OF partisausAip, and hnd indicated
their Wish that ihH investigation should
rest these, and the appointee be con.
ilrmed. The cases were mostly from
Virginia and North Carolina, but there
were scattering cases from other states.
Among the adverse reports was that OF a
Virginia postmaster, who since his APP
pointment had published 10 newspaper,
With which he was connected, articles
personally offensive to one Of the ylr-
gnia senator's. Among the favorable re.
ports was that OF the postmaster at Mem
phis. This was recommended by his
predecessor, who said he would not take
the office again II offered 10 him, as he
was going into other business.

CHOOSE YE BETWEEN THEM
The characteristics with which
we are wont to associate the chief
executive of a commonwealth are
ability in the management of the
affairs of state; superior intelligence
in comprehending the relations
that exist between the civil and
political interests of a country, so
that he can guide them TO prosper
Gus ends. A high sense of honor
that in the popular mind attaches
to and digniies his position; purity
of motive so obvious that faults be-
come virtues; a polite respect for
the opinion of friends, but inde-
pendent enough TO be guided by
his own maturer thoughts, and so
justly poised in his judgment OF
the right that his enemies are dis
armed; and all his acts are such
that in wisdom, integrity, justice
and grandeur of official pose he is
as much chief as he is Of a people.
Nothing little should attach to his
reputation, only a patient hearing
Of little grievances, that distin-
guishes the truly great. He should
guide and not be guided in the
management of affairs. If he can
net DO this to the best interest of
the country, he is where he should
not be, as he will certainly become
tool in the hands ofrings and de-
signing persons.
A choice of a chief who more
nearly approaches these qualifica-
tons, will be with the people in
less than a twelve month. Choose
ye between them.

not near so "sweet." There must

the whole truth regarding the death Of Mary
Gray shall be disclosed and justice take its
course.
Mrs. Phoebe Farmer, the cherished wife Of
Nathan Farmer, died at their residence o few
miles west Of Chouteau on the Srd inst. Only
seven short months OF welded happiness hsd
been theirs and half OF this time had been spent
by the wife on q bed OF suffering and pain.
Still she never murmured at the all-wise de-
cree that so soon claimed her for the spirit
land. The bereaved husband, though his bur-
den may seem almost insupportable, has the
full assurance that on the other shore someone
is waiting to welcome him to that land where
separations never come. A sister who arrived
a few hours before death came is inconsolable
at her bereavement. Mrs. Capt Sewers, her
sister and daughter, and several others came
from Muskogee TO pay their respects.

WEST ALONG THE FRISCO.

We find that under this heading
we can take a much wider range
than we have hitherto been taking;
for there is a branch OF this road
running through one of the suberbs
of the territory, known as the state
of Kansas just north of us; and If
we take the cars at Peirce City or
even at 0swego, we can pass west
through the most delightful coun-
try outside of the B. /. T., and
several nice towns. The Frisco
runs into the city of Wichita so the
Indians may have the opportunity
of attending United States court
there instead of Fort Smith. Quite
a large delegation of Indians from
the territory availed themselves Of
this advantage and came to this
town Of Wichita and began to
search Tor the court. After a long
time some fragments of the same
were found on the streets looking
at circus procession and when we
saw them looking, we looked also
and saw the elephant in Wichita.
After this we concluded not to open
United States court until next day,
so the Indians could take in the
town and see the advantages OF
this branch of the Frisco.
Wichita is grand place and is
growing at the rate of about 1000
actual settlers each year. 1t has
now reached about $1,000 inhabi-
tants. Large brick buildings are
going up on every hand, and the
hum of industry is heard continu-
ally. Real estate is bringing a
fabulous price. Lots in good loca-
tions are worth from $1,000 to
5000 and are hard TO be found
even at that price. We Indians
are thinking Of bringing the Bit.
up here and selling enough of it to
get us some "new things" We
need some belts, cartridges and
such; and we must have them,
"sauh."
The United States government
has made an appropriation of
500, 900 to build a new court house
at Wichita, so that the Indians can
find the place without so much
trouble.
The Presbyterian church is
building an academy of learning
costing $40, 200, on a lot which cost
them S11 900 and is worth s35, 900
to-day, without the buildings.
Several Of the prominent people
of Yinita are here in connection
with the double murder committed
by the Tobler brothers about
year ago. Notwithstanding the
drouth, and the state laws of Kan
sas against hanging, we are
sanguine in the belief that this
market will furnish the hemp
10 stake these Williams out--in
eternity.
The attorneys in Wichita all
seem friendly, as do every one that
we have met. They have not yet
learned the true value of the Indian
patronage, as the lawyers Of Fort
Smith have. We think however
that when they once get TO taste
territory blood, they will begin to
howl on the track, and will proba-
bly, work up some Indian business.
In passing around we sec few
things which we think are worthy
q comparison with each other.
First, we notice that the Arkansas
branch Of the Frisco, has United

BUFFALO BILL ON RIDING.

The English style Of riding a
horse, which | notice is much in
vogue here, is very showy, but it
win not do for long distances. II
is too hard on man and beast. Let
any one try to ride a horse fifty
miles at anything like a pace in
this manner, and both he and his
animal will be used up at the end
of the journey. II is a constant
pound, pound, pound on the sad
die, and the percussion is too much
for a horse or a man to stand. The
Earl of Dunraven and numbers of
other noted Englishmen who hunt
ed with me on the plains, rode
that way at first; but they soon
saw, as he said, "what bad form it
was" and learned TO ride cowboy
fashion, greatly to their own COM
fort and that OF their steeds. 1--WE
are all wrong in our ideas of rid
mig, Bill" said the Earl, when he
had mastered the American style.
1 feel sure that after the Wild West
has been in England three months
you will see a revolution in the
manner Of riding over there. How
do we get such perfect seatsP By
gripping our horse with our knees
and legs, sitting low and accommo-
dating ourselves to every motion Of
the animal. 1t becomes second
nature after awhile. l can tell
every move that a horse intends
making after l have been on his
back five minutes. If you want to
see how the art of perfect riding is
acquired, watch our little Indian
boys playing on their burros and
ponies. The instant they get near
them they mount them. When
they are barebacked they have no
way of holding themselves on ex-
cept by gripping with the knees.
Their legs are not long enough to
catch under the round of the ami
malls belly and yet a six-year-old
youngster well stick on like wax.

THE CHIEFTA1N Its PAST AND
IT'S FUTURE.

The fourth year Of the CHIEF
rAiN's young life ends with this
issue. Through four years OF
varied success, sometimes en-
couraged and sometimes languish-
ing and almost ready to give up
the ghost, IL has survived all re-
w ses and is in better and more
hopeful condition to-day than it
ever has been. IL has become a
fact, dfvested of all doubts of con-
:inuance-a living, breathing em-
bodiment visiting the homes of
hundreds of this nation and terri
tory. Confidence. in its perma-
nency is established, and as an
organ of news and outspoken prin
ciples is we'll known. 1t has
gained the confidence of the peo-
pie by its free and non-partisan
course and expects to retain it by
keeping in that line.
AS it now stands the CHIEFTAIN
is a necessity, and as exist the
present state OF public affairs, an
intelligent and progressive peo-
pie can't well get along without it
or something like it, or better. Its
free and independent spirit has in
spired the people with like dis
position, and that restraint upon
outspoken opinion, once deemed
the course of prudence, is now
about extinct. The CHIEFTAIN has
been a pioneer in this matter, and
the honest intelligence Of the coun-
Try has appreciated and endorsed
its principles by giving it material
encouragement.
That the condition of political
and social communities may be
sound and healthy, it must be sub
ject to the searching effect Of free,
but honest discussion. There is no
progress in the suppression of out
spoken opinion, neither is there
protection. One is the concomitant
of enlightenment, the other that of
ignorance, tyranny and cowardice.
The CHIEFTAIN's prospects are
encouraging, and inspire renewed
energy to make it more deserving
of public approval and patronage,
but much depends upon the people
as to what it might be made by the
undivided attention of those who
manage its columns.
