grounds we stand on, as a party,
may be fully understood and our
position defined, we subjoin for
the benefit Of all persons desiring
to know, the platform Of the Down
ing party, adopted in convention
at Tahlequah, Move vember 5th,
1886, which reads as follows
First.-We cheerlully subm it TO
a majority rule in all elections,
and to an honest count Of the votes.
Second. Our first and great OBJ
ject will be to maintain our present
form of government, as Indian
government Is tho only protection
for our race.
Third.-We favor progress and
the use OF our resources to the best
advantage of the Cherokee people,
to the end that.industry and enter
prise may be encouraged and labor
rewarded.
Fourth. Education and enlight-
eminent must ever be the great aim
of the Cherokee people. We obli-
gate ourselves to use our best en-
deavors to place it within the
reach of every child that belongs
to our nation.
Fifth.-One great object of the
Cherokee nation must be to keep
peace and friendship among her
own citizens. This government
and her institutions must be main
tanned by the united effort of our
people. We therefore guarantee
equal justice to all citizens and
every right guaranteed to them
under our laws, constitution and
treaties, the different classes, viz {:
Cherokees by blood, ShawneOs,
Delawarcs, freedmen, Creeks and,
adopted whites. We recognize
the fact that the destiny of our
country rests in the hands of this
entire people. Our great purpose
will be to make every citizen feel
that this is his home; that here
his life, liberty and property are
protected.
Sixth.-That we oppose the sale
of our lands and their settlement
by any but Indians. Investments
in land we consider safer and bet
ter than any. By natural increase
and adoption our population is
rapidly multiplying and the coun-
try may be needed for our future
growth.
Seventh.-W look upon the in.
PRODUCTION and operation of rail-
roads in our country without our
consnt as a great infringement of
our rights and violation of treaty
stipulation.
Eighth.-We favor an cconom-
ical administration of our affairs to
the end that our public funds may
not be squandered, but used as
necessity may demand and to the
best interest Of the people. In
many instances a nation must be
liberal but not wasteful.
Ninth.-We look upon farming
and stock raising as our greatest
resources for the accumulation Of
wealth. We are therefore decid-
edly in favor of encouraging those
two branches Of industry.
Tenth.-We are in favor OF in
creasing our internal revenue to
lis greatest capacity so as not to
injure our general welfare. The
tax on our grazing privileg es, on
hay, timber and minerals, shoul d
be handled for every dollar that
they are worth, as a wealth that
belongs to the people.
We approve of and endorse the
above aad recomm end a careful
consideration Of its propositions
by the people.

General manager Of the Down.

present situation. We do not be-
liove that it is wise to dispose of
our western lands. The last CEN
gus of our nation showed that the
population Of the Cherokee nation
is rapidly on the increase, and we
believe the time not far distant
when we will need all of our un-
occupied lands, east and west, to
accommodate our citizens with
homes. II we would maintain
our present form of government
intact as it now is, We must resist
the policy that would dispose Of
our loods. We would therefore
appeal to the patriotism and good
sense of our people, regardless of
party bias, to weigh we'll the
proposition which wo have rea-
sons to believe will soon be pre-
sented to US to sell our lands west.
We believe that to sell these
lands in one sense means the be-
ginning of the end of our national
autonomy. But in order that the
grounds we stand on, as a party,
may be fully understood and our
position defined, we subjoin for
the benefit Of all persons desiring
TO know, the platform Of the Down
ing party, adopted in convention
at Tahlequah, November 5th,

How to Conquer Error.

The following editorial, clipped
from the Western Record contains
good, sound doctrine that all should
study well and heed:
1.-THE best way to meet error is to
advocate the truth. Error is oftenest
propagated by being formally
attacked, and those who hold to the
error are seldom convinced by argu-
ment, No man can be convinced
unless he is first open to conviction.
To attack a mans belief and argue
against him is almost sure 10 arouse
his opposition and shut his heart
against the plainest and strongest
argument. That is why so few people
are ever convinced by argument. But
to advocate the truth, without FORM
ally assailing error, is to find the mind
of the one who holds to error measur-
ably open. There is no humiliation
involved in his accepting the proof
offered. 1t does not occur to him
that he is assailed and must resist.
Indeed, when he accepts the truth he
isapt to think that really that is what
he has believed all the time; only he
did not state it exactly in that way.
1t is faith that begets faith; and ii is
faith that moves men rather than
reason. 'Wavering souls rally around
firm Ones says Reveilland, and John
Stuart Mill says one man with a
belief, as force in society, is worth q
score who have only interests. Those
who believe error, with very few
exceptions, believe it very loosely
They rather acquiesce in it than
believe it; and if the truth is presented
to them in way that does not throw
them on the defensive there is good
prospect OF their accepting it. But
the surest way to make them tighten
their grip on error is to make an
attack upon them. To strike a man
isa very poor way to persuade him to
go the way you desire. There are
many errors alive and active in the
world to-day that would long ago
have been dead had they not been so
vigorously assailed.
"Of course, we must not be indif-
ferent to error, nor must we withhold
or compromise the truth; but we
should pull down error by building
up the truth. We should not shun
'to declare the whole counsel of God,'
but it must be the counsel of God we
declare, not attacks on error. Paul
preached Christ; he did not argue
with the Athenians or Corinthians
against the folly Of their belief in
Jupiter and Apollo, and it was the
preaching of Christ that made the
heather affairs crumble. Felix would
not have trembled had Paul attacked
his beliefs
LET there be no consenting to error,
but always and everywhere let us
proclaim the truth and proclaim it in
love. While hating heresy we should
love heretics, and should be very care
full not to increase the difficulty of
their accepting the truth. Many an
unwise advocate of the truth will
have 8 good deal to answer for in this
regard. Truth is Gods remedy for
error, and if we advocate the truth in
love we can safely leave the error to
take care of itself Not battering-
rams nor catapults, but blowing the
gospel trumpet, will overthrow the
walls of the Jericho of errors"

A dispatch from New London, Conn, says: A general reunion of the descendants of Walter Palmer, who settled in Stonington 250 years ago, will be held in the latter place Sept. and 5.

DEATH OF DK. sSOOLSEY.

Associated With the University Over
 Seventy-two Years.
 Theodore Dwight Woolsey, ex-president of Yale University, died at his home in New Haven, Conn.
 He was quite feeble for several months and less than a month ago it was feared that his race w.s nearly run, but he was a man of ex- traordinary vitality and determination, and he so far recovered that he was able to be out until quite recently. Had he lived until the last day of October, he would have been lightweight years of age.
 His death was undoubtedly caused by old age and gradual decay of physical power. He leaves 8 wife and two children-a son and daughter-the former, Theodore Salisbury Woosey, having been professor of interna- tional law at Yale since 1879 up to within a few months, when he took long vacation and went to California. He is thirty seven years old and inherits much of the ability of lis distinguished parent.
 By the death of Dr. Woolsey America loses one of her ripest scholars. Distinguished by the extent of his erudition, he was regarded everywhere with love, respect and admira- tion As an eminent teacher he occupied'a simi- lar position in this country to that so long and so honorably held by the late Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, England. It is to be hoped also that his biography will be written by us brilliant a man as Dean Stanley, who was UHo duCuOr O1 Ll'e OI UT. hfHOlu, one O1 the best memoirs ever penned.
 No more cultured, classical scholar has ad orned his times than Dr. Woolsey. In the study of the Greek tongue he was as eager as MT. Gladstone, and he found as many hidde, beauties in the plays of Euripides, Sophoc.s and Eschylus the English statesman dis covered in the majestic hexaneters of the lila. and the Odyssey.
 In the higher field of politics he held fore most place. and to the consdera tion oi political ethics he devoted much of his val uable time. Not a few of his orations and essays have touched on important questions of political economy. Religion, virtue and patriotism were the three cardinal points from which he never swerved, and whose benign advantages he delighted to inculcate and extol.
 As Q theologian he shone. He brought to bear upon abstruse questions in divinity not only the power of research but the dignity of impertiality. As president of Yale College his ambition was to be worthy of post which had been filled by predecessors so ilustrious On his retirement from the presidency after q, service of & quarter of a century it was unl versally conceded that his separations had been fulfilled. As a man of letters he a!s., ranked high. Now that he has pussed ava, his innumerable good qualities will recur to the minds of hundreds who have come I:i con tact with him, and his memory will be kslJ h affectionate veneration by posterity.

He Says Her Constitution is a Mar.
 vel of Political Wisdom.

He Says Her Constitution is a Mar.
 vel of Political Wisdom.
 The freedom of Cardiff, England, was pre- sented to MT. Gladstone. His speech on the occasion was notable for compliments paid to America. He referred to her constitution as a marvel of political wisdom, exhibiting the benefits of devolution in contrast with the evils Of too great centralization of which France and Italy were examples. He would have liked to have brought with him the illuminated address sent him from New York, but it was too bulky. He brought instead the address sent him from Illinois, These and similar expressions of opinion on tho home rule question from ma ton rapidly ad. vancing to the position of the primary power of the English speaking races ought to give every prudent Englishman material for refec- tion. We are the frst,'' he said, "to tell other nations their faults, but the last to listen to any ones advice''
 Referring to the Fife election and the opin. ions of Mir. Wemyss the defeated candidate, MT. Gladstone said that if the government would allow Mr. Wemyss to act in their be- half, doubtless Mir. Wemyss and he (the speaker) would be able to arrive at a very satisfactory solution of the Irish question. So much for the best candidate the govern ment could find.

GREAT FLOo .,S IN TEXAS.
People Driven From Home by the
 Rising Rivers.

People Driven From Home by the Rising Rivers. Several inches of rain fell in the district oi Fort Worth, and great damage has resulted. Reports from the west show heavy rains for 200 miles. The Brazos and the Trinity Rivers are booming. At Benbrook, twelve miles west, the bridge of the Texas and Pa cific and 500 feet of the track are washed away. The St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas for two miles out is submerged. The Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas and the Fort Worth and Denver have abandoned their tracks north.
 The Texas and Pacific has abandoned trains both east and west. At Forth Worth the bottom lands to the north for two miles and to the east for mile and n half are sub- merged, and truck farms are gone. The Trim ity rose four and half feet in an hour, and the dwelers on the lowlands barely escaped. City Marshal Farmer, Sheriff Richardson and their entire force for the time became a rescu- ing corps, and manned the boats which brought the people to the city, where they are quartered in large warehouses. There are 200 men, women, and children thus cared for.
 H. Plume and sister are said to have been washed away, and Mrs. H. s. Bentley and Patrick, her son, who lived on the Trinity, arc believed to have been drowned. Their two miles wide, and all the cabins and tents are gone. The St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas operator received message that the west fork of the Trinity was coming down with an eight foot rise. Six inches more ofwater and the water works will have to be abandoned. Wheat, oats, fruit, and cotton are badly damaged
 The loss can hardly be computed, but con. servative estimates place 1t as Al.h as s2QNO.OO0.
