pnR1Ls or LEGISLATIVE t1Fp.

There can be no question that a
great many .men deteriorate very
much morally, when they 60 to
council. The last accusation most
of us would think of bringing
against that dear, dull, old Chero-
kee village, is that Of being a fast
place. And yet there are plenty
of members coming from the coun-
try on whom Tahlequah, during
sessions of council, has as bad an
effect as Washington City some
times has on its rural visitors.
Many men aspire to Office with the
set purpose of making money.
Many others, who afterwards be-
come bad, go there intending to do
good work. These latter may be
well meaning, weak young follows
of some little ability, who expect
to make names for themselves.
Perhaps they are young lawyers;
they achieve but little success and
they gradually become conscious
that they have not enough ability
to warrant any expectations of
their continuing in public life.
Soon great temptation comes in
their way, Ga cattle syndicate ex-
poets to be relieved of perhaps a
hundred thousand dollars taxes by
the passage Of a bill and can afford
to pay high for votes.) They fall,
and that is the end of them. Leg
islative life has temptations enough
to make it unadvisable for any
weak man, whether young or old
to enter it.
Moral:-Send no weak men to
represent you in council.
Respectfully, J. T. C.

TIE cattle industry is thus re-
ported by a gentleman from Kat
sas City who is in that line OF bus
mess: "The cattlemen have very
small hope of an improvement in
the mar':et this year. The sup
ply of beeves has kept up so well
in all the markets of the country
that there could be no advance in
prices. In consequence Of short
corn crop, Kansas and Nebraska
are short on corn-fed beeves, but
Missouri and other states are feed
ing about the usual number, and
Texas more than an average.
These will keep up the supply un-
Ill grass cattle come on, and pre-
vent an advance in the market.
So that the prospects for an i'm
provement in prices are not at all
encouraging. Advices received in
Kansas City from the northwestern
range are TO the effect that the
losses up there have been light.
A chinook melted the snow in one
night, and cattle are in very good
shape.n

WHAT CONSTITUTES AN I'M
PROVEMENT.

As day by day the ninety days
of grace expires before the penal
act of the late council goes iato ef-
feet, prohibiting the shipment OF
walnut timber out of the country,
there is likelihood that many in
their eagerness to make most Of
the opportunity that the present
law gives them for such business,
will "get their tails Mashed" by
giving such a liberal construction
to the law that the courts will not
agree to.
The existing law, authorizing
the shipment of lumber, specifics
the kinds that can be shipped, the
amount of rovalty to be paid en-
each 1000 feet and the extent of
the privilege granted. By a re-
verse construction of the law, no
one is permitted to take timber
from the public domain, hut is con
fined to that which is "within the
lawful limits of his or her improve
ment." Here naturally the ques-
tion arises, what is an improve
ment2 The nation is not without
law on the subject, that clearly
defines what an improvement is,
and by reason of which he can
claim the timber within certain
limits, and to sell or ship on pay
ing a royalty. Section 8, of the
act regulating the settlement of
the public domain, page 300, COM
piled laws, shows that claim is
not an improvement, and specifies
what an improvement is and how
it is TO be held. A claim conveys
merely prior right to a certain
place for a certain length of time
in which the claimant must make
a certain amount of improvement
and be in possession OF, before it
is really an improvement. This
law was enacted years before wal
nut timber was in any special de-
mand. A fair Interpretation of it
therefore suggests the idea Of
permanent improvement, to be
owned and occupied by the right Of
residence. An improvement val
ued at only $50 is indeed a small
one, but if a citizen can be salts
fed to live in such an one, or can
get somebody else 10 do it, the
law is surely satisfied. But as
said, permanent residence is con-
templated by the law-not to be
abandoned after all the valuable
timber 10 taken from it. If il
should be for such cause. the
original purpose must have been
temporary residence merely to
take advantage Of a privilege that
implies permanency Of possession
and occupancy To erectimprove-
ments in a forest Of walnut, where
there are no Inducements to make
permanent home. is Drima facie
evidence that the intention is to
beat the law by deceiiful compli-
ance TO I'D requirements.

bald fact yet remains that a com
mittee appointed by the senate did
report and "show at the time and
in the manner required by law"
such to be the fact, and yet we all
know that Rogers was not admit
ted. But all these are now matters
of history. The excitement of
election is over, as also the long
weary struggle Of seventy.one days.
