sHouLp LEARN FARMING.

This is what a school teacher,
old in the business and rather old
In years, said about the sch hool
boys Of our country. They should
be taught how to farm, he still
further remarked, and that TO work
on a farm is not degrading, and
that social equality is not dispar-
aged on account Of it, in'the minds
Of sensible people. The most in
dependent man of any is the farm
er. His success is not dependent
upon the patronage OF others.
II lies between his own industry
and management aud that Provi-
dence that gives him health and
strength aud sends the rain in
season. Between the farmer and
God Almighty there is no neoes.

A BARE FACED LIE.

TAnLEouAn, I. T., April II. 1889.
EDITOR CHIEFrA1N, DEAR SIR:-
Will you allow me TO correct n
grand lie that / see in that great
political paper that is called the
Indian Arrow.
The editor of that paper says
that under the management or in
competency, il not both, the sher-
iff and his deputy do not know
much about prison control. And
he also tells you that there are on
ly seven prisoners here in Jail
which is bare faced lie. We have
eighteen instead Of seven. There
were only eleven here when Mr..
McCracken took charge of the Jail
and seven Of them were out on
"trust," which only left four in.
mates 10 be guarded. / think the
editor, or w. p. Ross, should shoot
his arrow at the truth as we'll as
politics. He may want to unite
and make another union before the
next chief election. | know he'd
like to be our ruler or chief, but l
am afraid he'll never succeed.
Whenever we cannot control
this Jail we will send for him tc
come up and show us how. But
/ am afraid he don't know il all il
he is an editor Of an untruthful
paper. / am yours as ever,
JESSE b. MAYEs,
Deputy Sheriff.
p. S.-Tahlequah is more quiet
and peaceable than ever known
since the war. JESSE.

THE STRIP LANDS TO BEBooM
Erred.

The failure TO lease the strip
lands for grazing purposes last
council and the probability as it
appears to some, of there being no
lease at all, has struck the specu-
laiive sensitiveness Of many Of our
citizens that there is good thing
in going out there and taking pos
session Of the pastures and in run
ming a lease and tax-collecting
business Of their own. There be-
ing 100000 acres Of the finest
grazing lands I'm the west, out
there, fenced into, as reported,
104 pastures containing from 10,-
600 TO 100000 acres each, this con-
templated moro is the biggest
ri'i"g cut. TvOe proprietor OF Unv
Of these huge pastures and to re-
ceivc the possible revenues is just
immense enough TO cause a poor
fellow feel like "bloated bond
holder," and to indulge in future S
that would excite the cupidity Of
=Sn average congressman.
The idea must surely prevail
with many that a lease is a condi-
tion necessary to the realization OF
any revenue 10 the nation from
these lands, when really it is very
doubtful that to lease them for any
purpose whatever is the proper
thing to be done, if the largest pos
sible amount OF revenue is what is
wanted, taking a run of five years.
No one who keeps track of the
gradual decrease of grazing lands,
and properly estimates that this
growing scarcity must increase the
value of such, can but recognize
the fact that a lease cuts off the
possibility Of an increase Of reye-
nue.. But it seems to be the opin-
ion Of some that, if there is no
lease, tho nations opportunity for
revenue is at an end, and that in
dividual chances are in order.
The improvements made by the
present lessees, consisting OF wire
fences and other conyeniences nee
essary to full enjoyment Of their
lease, are the property Of the ma
tion when the lease expires, and
not subject to be seized by our cit
liens without the consent Of coun-
ell, either by purchase or privi-
cgc granted.
The lease is not yet out, nor
will be until October next, and
there is ample time for the council,
convened in extra session, TO make
some disposition Of the lands in
the interest Of the Cherokee peo-
pie at large.

PRoTEcTIoS OF THE CKNETKRY.-The
town council should lose no time in
lending their aid and encouragement
in the work of fencing and improving
the cemetery. The plot Of ground al
lowed by the nation twenty acres
should be surveyed Tor re.surveyed, as
the case may bel and a sexton should
be designated TO have charge OF IT,.
No interment should be permitted un-
I'll burial permit has been secured
from the city clerk. Lots l2x2i feet in
size have heretofore beon sold In the
cemetery at $500 each and that price
seems low enough. Unless some regu-
lations and system are observed it will
be but very few years until the grave
digger, in preparing for a new occu-
pant, will unearih the remains OF some
unfortunate whose final resting place
has not been suitably marked. 1t is
the duty OF those who have the power
to see that the chance for occur
rences Of this kind are as for removed
as possible and we trust they will so
consider IL. Humanity abhors the
disturbance OF its dead and is ever
ready to commend and assist in its
protection. The ladies of the city
have volunteered to fence the tract
and truly the council could not DO less
than have the same surveyed and as
sumo control Of il.
