Chief Mayes.

ST.. LOUIS. Nov. --latest advices
from the Cherokee Nation says that Chief
Mayes' letter to the commissioners of the
United States has caused much excite
ment in the territory. In this letter Chief
Mayes, referring to Secretary Mobiles re-
cent instructions to the commissioners re-
garding tho cattle companies, ETC.. the
chief takes a bold stand, virtually defyiug
the United States government and says in
part:
The Cherokees do not recognize the
right OF Secretary Noble to interfere with
sacred rights that have belonged to the
C~herokee's since their purchase and own
ership Of said lands and they will continue
to collect revenue for grazing privileges
until Secretary Noble sees fit to deprive
them of this right by force and even then
the Cherokees will endeavor to protect
their rights in the premises in a legiti-
mate way"
Referring to Assistant Attorney General
Shields opinion as to the LEGALITY of the
sale, ETC., Mayes says: Conscience and
sense of duty will govern me in this mat
ter and not the opinion of the attorney
general or the act of congress creating
your commission which has no connection
whatever with the matter"
Commissioners Fairchild and Wilson
are dumbfounded at the course affairs are
taking. Mayes' letter has been tele-
graphed to Washington.

The Fruit of Violence.

In no case is the folly of violence in
medication more conspicuously shown
by its fruit than in the effect upon the in
~testines Of excessive purgation. The stom-
ach and bowels are first painfully griped,
then the latter is copiously, suddenly and
repeatedly evacuated. This is far beyond
the necessities of the case, most unnatur-
al, excessively facilitating. The organs
are incapacitated from resuming their
function with normal moderation. An
astringent is resorted to which reduces
them to their former condition of inaction.
To this monstrous and harmful absurdity,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the happy
alternative. 1t relaxes gently, naturally,
sufficiently, it diverts bile from the blood
into its proper channel, it insures health
full digestion and complete assimilation.
1t is a complete defense against malaria.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.-Ex-President
Cleveland was interviewed on the cleo
ton results. 1T is evident" said Cleve-
land, that the leaven Of tariff reform has
at last ~leavened the whole lump. The
West, which has suffered most from the
unjust burden of tariff taxation, has
awakened. The state platforms, both in
Iowa and Ohio, were abreast Of the St.
Louis platform on the subject of tariff re-
form. The people have considered and
passed Judgment. 1t was for the people
to decide aad they are now deciding. 1t
Is enough for me to say that l am salts
fed at the indications and the results of
Tuesdays elections. The verdict in Vir-
ginea indicates that the South is still
faithful to the Democracy OF Jefferson and
Jackson"
