Using hope Of Improvement ID the
schools Of our State, that has recent
Ily daWned, IS the radical change
made in the election of superintend
Ients this year radical from apolit-
lical standpoint. Merit has had the
Iaseendancy generally. The next
step is to invest the superintendent
with additional powers and duties,
multiply his responsibilities, give
him a trust that will require ability,
character, meeit and force to pre-
serve, duties that demaad talent and
manhood to insure their effectual ex-
ertion. Grade the salary according
", and we will have snperinten-
dent, not . thing. Make the office
a paying one, and merit the essential
prerequisite for promotion to it. En-
large the common school curriculum,
raise the standard of county exami-
nations, and fill our schools with
teachers who knoa0 and the people
will pay them.
Separate the schools entirely from
politics, till the people know what
constitutes a good school system and
what is the meaning Of politics.

AN 1NouIRY.

RoME, /. t., May n, 1889.
EDITOR CHIEFrArS:--The ques-
ton is often asked If this will not
be the year for the payment of
grass money TO the Cherokees, and
we leave the question to you, not
being well enough posted in ma
tional affairs TO answer. We on
ly know shat when the contract
was made with the cattlemen for
grazing purposes, the same act, Cor
the same counciD made the lease
money payable per capita every
three wears. If this act has been
repealed we have never heard oft
in these parts, and of course
think the law will naturally take
its course. We do know that
there has been appropriation after
appropriation made out OF it, but
it seems as if there should be
something left, since the increase
in price that Mr.. Mayes brought
about by his wise ruling, and if
the law still stands, how can the
duNilbllNlGo Etb bAoutiN kiS ihl
ment, be it much or little. To
those in authority who feed at the
public crib it makes no material
difference, but to tho poor Indian
and humble citizen in the lower
walks of life, tho payment Of few
dollars would amount to a good
deal. Aside from that question
we should ask if the payment can
be evaded without special legisla-
ton to that effect and rs council
convenes in November. will it not
be too late to pass the bill re-
pealing the act even then. You
may say that the year of 1890 will
be the year for the taking of the
national census and that twill be
more convenient and less expcn-
sive after the census taking, but the
question of the law will still stand
and we beg of you in all patience
to crafty the curiosity Of an hum
bic IEQUIRER.

THE KANSAS oITY TIMES

The Kansas City Times, in CIV
ing expression to its indignation,
because the Cherokees want the
value OF the lands Of the outlet,
recommends what il terms the
''use of the friendly Indian
clause" OF the treaty Of '66, to
punish them for not being willing
to take less. There is a degree of
Tascality in its propositions and in
its villainous assertions, that would
unsettle every principle of right
and rob the defenseless, were it
not for the laws penalties.
It is not, nor can be, denied that
the government of the United
States has the right to settle
friendly Indians on those lands.
Neither can it be doubted, if the
Times should have the manage
ment of the matter, that the Cher
okees would receive nothing for
their lands, but luckily'for them it
does not. The good Lord never
helps the devil in his work by put
ting snch in authority.
The Chorokees are not much
alarmed that all in authority are
thieves and robbers, or that they,
though Indians, will not be pro-
tected in their rights, if not for the
sake Of right, for the sake of the
honor Of that government Of which
the Times is not representative.
All we want is a chance TO de-
fend ourselves before the courts of
the United States. This we viii.
not be denied if there is any
honor IN that government or pro-
lection beneath its stars and
stripes.
The policy Of the general gov
ornment is 10 educate and ciyilize
the Indian; 10 force hin. 10 be
selfdependent; 10 teach him the
ways Of The white man, that he
may know how % take care ofhin.

vi all tne sOrtS OF men VINO bO-
journ in "these low grounds of
sorrois," give me a man with
liberal Quantity of honest cuss-'
edness in his composition, said
Uncle Peter, setting on a goods
box, in Tahleqah last week, and
with the hawk-bill blade Of his
knife, looking abcet as honestly
wicked as the kind Of man he
liked, was cutting great splinters
out Of the aforesaid box. Yes,
give me a man who has the ap.
petite of a dozen hungry wolves
and energy Of forty horse power
engine, and he's thar every time.
| don't mind to hear a man swear
when in his honest cussedness he
finds things goin' wrong, or when
he hears some clean-shaven,
starch -bosom-shirted, white.cra
waited, kid-gloved and plug-hatted
son Of a gun has been defaming
somo poor woman, and in his ram
rod Christian integrity has been
cheatin' some poor fellow out his
hard earnings. Yes sir, give me
the man who is just cussed enough
to acknowledge that ne amt no
angel and would jerk the quills
out of the wings of one who
would come sailin' around
with the scent of the devil in his
plumage. / say, give me the man
who is just mean enough to tell me
of my faults, and il didn't like it
and used insultin' words to him,
would knock me a double summer
sault, and then in his big hearted
cussedness pick me up and brush
the dirt from my clothes. That
man will do to tie to. He is too
honest to be anything but honest.
Yes sir, that man has the courage
Of lion and the heart of a woman.
He's right every time in spite of
his cussedness. If this kind Of
cussedness is original sin, l can't
be hard on old Mother Eve for eat
in that apple. Neither can / blame
old Father Adam for transmittin' it
to his posterity, because it is just
what we need to square up things
with the devil when he comes
sneakin' around in the guise of
saint. Yes sir, this world is get
ting too religiously wicked. We
want more earnest, pushing, honest
and Outspoken men in this world,
whose religion is humanity and
whose reward is the consciousness
of having done right in all things,
and who wants to keep on at it,and
don't care about restin' from his la
bors. No sir, the good Lord can't
be hard on such a man, and the
devil is too smart TO claim him, be-
cause they'd get into a rucus the
first time his sooty majesty would
get to pushin' up the chunks
around a poor fellow for not be-
levin the rib story. Yes sir, l be-
lieve that when He whose mercy
is as great as his power, calls such
a man away, the angels will be
glad 10 make friend of him.

Cancer

is form of blood poison which is
not understood by the medical
profession rs to its real nature and
character, but is evidently heredi-
tary in its nature. 1t may acci-
dentally develop itself without any
predisposition or evidence of such
existing poison. The knife or
caustic salves have been the so
called remedies for it, but all hon.
est practitioners will tell you that
this treatment fails to cure and
only hastens fatal results. Thou
sands ofcases Of epithelioma (skin)
cancers, and a great many cases Of
scirrus cancers, have been entirely
cured by the use Of Swift's Specific.
Il forces tile poison out through
the cancer itself, and tho pores Of
the skin.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY.


The fellow who was poking
about the streets one dark night
md fell into ain excavation for a
new building and couldn't get out,
was a philosopher Of this school.
He knew that some other fool
would be along after awhile and
fall in too, II he kept quiet. But
there are instances Of misfortune
in which one may feel awful lone
some and which are repeated in
spite Of all the noise that can be
made about It. The Harjoes and
the Miccoes, and Toholoes and the
Sofkies and the Matthias and the
Fig-a-mus-chals and our brothers,
the Creeks generally, are raising
adevil Of rucus about the 10 per
cent. of the 50, 800, 900 for which
they sold the western part of their
domain. This is a great misfor-
tune to the Creeks generally, and
there is degree Of lonesomeness
about it that can never be relieved
by others equally unfortunate or
who may tumble into the same
hole. In fact, there is no chance
for company in so great misery,
unless the Cherokecs conclude to
sell their western lands, and are
idiots enough to give 10 per cent.
on the proceeds Of the sale, 10 a
lot Of fellows to say to the govern
ment Of the United States that
they are willing to sell. That
was about all the legal service
necessary to secure q sale of their
lands. Paid assistance in getting
the question before congress, and
in securing such action as was
wanted, was about as necessary as
would have been the hire of an
agent to sell ga fourth part of a
cab Of doves dung for five pieces
OF silver" in the streets of the be-
sieged Samaria in her greatest dis
tress. When a trade amounts to
millions of dollars, there is a SEEM
ing infinity to the sum that cannot
be comprehended by the unedu-
catod mind, and, as a consequence,
somebody who can figure out the
immensity of the sum or compre-
hond the vastness of the transac-
tion is called on to take charge of
the matter, and is given high per
centage of that which will sell
itself because of it's great demand.
Should the Cherokees conclude to
sell their lands at reasonable
price there can be no plea that at
torneys should be employed, be-
cause the lands are in demand and
there will be no need either of lob
by or legal assistance to induce
congress to buy. To hire an
agent TO sell that which you can
sell yourself, and ought TO, and
contract a per centago that you
kick up a rucus about because II
amounted to a great deal more
than you, in your ignorance,
thought it would. is an acknowl-
edgement that you are a lot OF
lunatics and don't know what you
are about.
Ignorance is always excusable,
but knowledge is not, when put to
dishonorable purposes, or when it
allows itself to be imposed upon.
To mislead the ignorant by false
representations Of difficulties and
necessities, for personal ends, is a
degree of perfidy that overtops the
robbery of helpless cripple, and
then to call it superior wisdom"
is worse still.
