FLoPPED OVER.

lhe most unreasonable and rid
iculous report, now causing sur
prise among some and uncharita-
bic remarks among others, is that
Chief Maycs has betaken himself
TO the sports OF . political acrobat,
and, turning heels over head, has
landed, fair and square, in the
ranks OF the Nationals. The
report is that he went back on
Ibis friends and party when he COM
missioned the treasurer and other
officers elected by a majority made
up of the three illegal members of
the lower house. 1t is claimed
that if these three votes had not
been counted, othe parties would
have been entitled TO the commits
sions. That is correct as far as il
goes, and if only to be considered
there is some reason for the report.
but there are other matters that
ought to be pondered before con-
clusions are reached.
First Had the CHIEF any legal
or constitutional right to interfere
with action Of the council in judg-
ing Of the returns and qualifca-
tions Of its members?
Second. Having none, by what
method, other than arbitrary pow
or, could he have expelled the 0 b.
noxiohs members, and compelled
the council 10 submit 10 his dictum
in the matter? Or can any one
but an idiot OF a stif-necked and
sway-backed fool believe that the
council would submit to any in
terference by the chief ia that
which they not only had the con-
atilutional power to resist, but a
majority in numbers so 10 con-
fuse matters that the very govern
ment itself w,uld have been left

Mr.. j, T. Cunningham, how
dare you attack the stronghold OF

cheek indeed, to say what the per

Can't you be content? Can't you
''let nature take her course ?n
Can't you be satisfied to eat your
hog and hominy without asking
too many questions, thereby max
ing yourself obnoxious TO the Office

people? What does ii matter to
you if you have to feed a widow
and orphan children (who are
rich in their own right if by so
doing you assist your political

A PARROT AND MONKEY TIME.


The last few days Of last weeks
council put to the test the relative
strength of the two political par-
ties, as TO members and influence
in question purely legislative.
1t cannot be considered a fair tc ST
though, if the strip lessees are in
cluded with their money and
whisky, because had they and
their money bags not been on the
grounds, the policy OF Mayes' ad-
ministratiop might have more
easily succeeded.
The bill to lease the strip for
s125,000 had passed both houses
by large majoritics, and was in
the hands of the chief. The Ma
tionals and few ofthe Downings
who had voted for the bill, were
well satisfied that Mayes would
not approve it, A two-thirds ma
jority must be secured to carry
the bill over his veto. Last Fri
day the chief returned the bill
with his objections. The senate
passed upon the veto, and defeat
ed it by over a two-thirds maiori-
ty-Mr. Bell voting against, and
Mr.. Lynch selent. 1t went TO the
house but was tabled until next
morning at 10 o'clock. When the
hour came, was delayed until 2
p. m. This was done to secure
the number of votes required TO
defeat the veto. TO the shame
and disgrace Of the nation it must
be said the time was well improv-
ed, but without ultimate success.
The votes of members were mere
matters of traffic i'm the estimation
of many and valued according tc
the emergency of the occasion.
Facts that can be proven are too
disgraceful for record. but suffice
it to say that Is of the Downing
members breasted the storm and
stood firm to their honest convic-
tions. Not a National man favor
ed the veto.
1t cannot be denied that money |
was used. Joe Tap, Down
ing member from Illinois district, |
tapped the company for sI0O. 90 |
He received the money, told that
he had, and give the boys big |
treat on cigars. Joe was true to
his faith and voted to sustain the
veto.
1t cannot be said that all who
voted against the chiefs veto wer C |
influenced by mercenary motives, !
but in rs much as money was |
used freely in the buying Of votes,
suspicion, by reason Of this fact,
will attach to many.

oULLED AND COINED.
A Collection ofNewsy Notes From
Many Sources.

Alluding to the country known
as No Mans Land, Attorney Gen
eral Garland says: "The land
referred to, then, is rot embraced
in any district established by law
Of the United States. The sixth
article Of the amendment to the
constitution of the United States
provides in all criminal prosecu-
tions the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy and public trial
by an impartial jury of the state
and district wherein the crime
shall hays been committed, which
district shall have been previously
ascertained by law. IL therefore
appears that, without legislative
action ascertaining the district
within which this public strip
shall be embraced, the punishment
Of the crime therein is beyond the
reach Of the criminal law of the
United States"

WHAT GENERAL ARMSTRONG
SAID

When at Tahlequah on his mis-
sion to quiet the difficulties that
prevented a peaceable adjustment
of the claim to the chieftaincy,
Inspector Armstrong often remark
ed that the greatest danger to the
Cherokee people was outside cap
ital and influence united with spec
ulative combinations within. His
remarks are true, if the history OF
the late general election, and of
the troubles in council, and of the
effort of the Cherokee Strip Live
Stock Association since, TO corrupt
our legislature, is any evidence Of
the fact. Such a corporation is
dangerous to the safety of our
country and its prosperity, and it
were better that our western lands
lay vacant, rather than have re-
peated what has so endangered
our peace, threatened the very ex-
istence of our nation and made
enemies where mutual interest
should create the safer conditions
of friendship. Such corporations,
benefited by the use Of national
interest, is only safe in a nation Of
Spartans, whose highest aim is ma
!ional strength and integrity.

BEoAUsE o. ZEE JURoRs.

Judge Parker is opposed to the
establishment Of United States
court in this territory and his
views are thus set forth, as re-
ported by the Fort Smith Jour
nal (:
Judge Parker yesterday ex-
pressed himself quite forcibly in
denunciation of this bill and said
he hoped the matter would be
placed in iis true colors before be-
ing finally passed upon. lie stat
ed that there were many more In
dians than white men in the terri
tory that seven out OF every ten
prisoners brought here from the
territory and sent to the peniren-
tiary are white men, and that they
are the very ones, too, that must
be chosen on the juries OF this
court, If established. His views
OF the matter are those Of pro.
found thinker and man of wise
judgment, and il is 10 be hoped
that before passing upon this bill
congress may hear words OF SINH
lar Purport from men equally well
posted on the needs OF the Indian
Territory.
II that court is located at Vinita,
which there is good reason now
10 expect, Judge Parker need have
no fears as to the character Of the
Jurors which can be secured.
They will surely compare iavora-
bly, with the native Arkansawyers
Of which his juries are made up.
