made in coming among us, one OF
whom suffered the ignominy Of be-
ing imprisoned in a penitentiary
for the sake Of preaching the gos-
pei to his adopted people, when
the hardships were greater than
they can possibly be to a mission
ary at this time.
A National street orator COM
pared his party to a mighty ava
lanche sweeping down the noun
tain side carrying everything be-
fore it in its irresistible course.
Like il, the Nationals will sweep
the Cherokee nation in the coming
election" said he. He was re-
piled to by a Downing orator Of
the same kind as follows: "The
comparison of my friend OF the
National party to an avalanche is
true to the nature and principles
Of the National party; like the
avalanche the National party car
ries destruction to the Cherokee
people in its body with poverty
and desolation to the people in its
tracks. We want to be spared the
sweep of the destructive avalanche
in the shape of monopolies. Wo
prefer the bright and shining gla-
cier, the emblem Of purity, which
in its slow but constant movement
down the side Of the mountain
grinds the rocks into powder,
making soil and fitting the ground
for the growth of vegetation for
the benefit of mankind. 'Tis thus
the Downing party by its sturdy
resistance to giant monopoly and
trusts, its slow but sure work for
the best interests of the people,
resembles the mighty glacier,
grinding under its heels bribery,
monopoly and ring control, who,
after sweeping over the country
leaves behind it happy, smiling
and prosperous people.
"The Downing party points with
pride to its record in the lease
question with a majority of the
national council opposing. They
have saved to their people q quar-
ter ola million dollars"
Yours. Too Sroo.

-Arkan. City Republican-Trav-

one Of the best natured individuals
around here. Some time ago A..
V. Alexander was down in the
Indian country and made the ac-
quaintance of well-to-do Pawnee,
who had considerable influence
with his brother red men. A. V.
told his red acquaintance when in
the city to call in and see the boys
at the lumber yard, and according
ly when he came home he tol6 OF
his acquaintance and also remark
ed that il might be well 10 show
the Indian some attention il he
oame in. Saturday tho Indian
came TO the city and called at the
lumber yard. Colonel Hite want
ed to do good act, so he showed
the Indian around the yard and
finally asked him to 90 with him
to see the wrestling match. The
red man acquiessed and went to
his camp highly elated. In about
a half an hour the Indian returned
accompanied by his wife and two
papooses, and the Colonel was in
troduesd to them and was informed
that they wanted to go to the wrest-
ling match. This was too much for
the Colonel, and as he had to draw
the line somewhere, he drew at
the woman and papooses. The
Col. went to the wrestling match
alone.

benefits, would be deprived OF Ste
use. Therefore a law to license
traffic in hay in certain districts
and to restrain in others would be
required to regulate tho business
and to protect the rights Of all as
far as the supply Of their wants
may go in that which is the COM
mon property of all. Without
any reference to districts or locali-
ties, so as to avoid the appearance
Of special legislation, a remedy
may be found by combining the Ii
conse TO such places where grass
is so plentiful that the supply for
home consumption will not be in
toferred with.
1t is said that Vinita alone, leav-
ing out other points, will suffer a
loss Of fifty thousand dollars an
nually by the operation ofthe penal
act against the shipment of hay.
If this is so, it would not be un-
reasonable to say that the sale Of
hay per year throughout the entire
nation amounts to a sum not much
less than a hundred thousand dol
lars. This at 4 or 8 per cent. on
the dollar would add considerable
to our internal revenue. There
can be no excuse why this should
not be the case where seas Of grass
go up in smoke from the spark Of
a locomotive or the match of the
public incendiary.

THE NATIONS REVENUE REAL
AND POSSIBLE.

THE NATIONS REVENUE REAL
AND POSSIBLE.
To the revenue now collected on
the natural products of the coun-
try, coal and mineral, the present
administration has recommended
that on hay. Timber has been
stricken from the list, because all
laws heretofore TO license its trade
: have proven 10 be miserable fail
ures. No adequate return in reve-
. nne TO the nation has been realized
fs3lhe immense quantity of valua-
BIG .tirnber shipped out of the
coantry, nor has any citizen been
sufficiently remunerated TO excuse
the advantages taken of the law
bysAbusing the privilege granted.
!. All Of our best timber is about
gone for song and poor one ct
that. In every instance the law
has.hesn beaten or evaded, with
about the same results TO the ma
tion and those who stultified the
law. Nobody made anything, ex-
cept the timber merchants Of the
states.
The so-called executive seizures
and sheriff sales of timber unlaw-
fully cut, as far as national bsne-
fits are to be considered. were but
httle less than taking from one the
property unlawfuIly acquired and
@vihg to another who managed
ttlifongh official connivance TO get
ft.for just enough to pay fees and
the expenses attached TO the sale
and seizure. The law was rescind-
ed upon the recommendation Of
; the chief, and none too soon.
For several years there has been
n considerable demand for native
hay in the markets Of 81. Louis
and other places. The cause of
} this demand is the growing search
~ of such hay in the adjoining
states, which must naturally in
crease, unless some other source Of
supply is discovered, Increased
demand means higher prices and
greater employment in the bust
ness. The grass on our prairies
had no market value until indus
try and enterprise found-a market
for il, but as soon as 1t was dis COW
cred that there was good thing in
the business to those who engage
in it, it was thought to be
little too good and must DO. stop
Redi
AS q compromise between those
who opposed and those who favor
ed the cutting and shipping of
Gay, the chief recommended that
the business be legalized and a
royalty placed on all hay shipped
out Of the country.
The council may be excused for
passing an act to make it penal to
export native hay, when it is re-
membored that in six of the nine
districts of the nation there is
scarcely enough grass for home
consumption. Cooweescoowee,
Delaware and Canadian districts
have worlds Of grass, and enough |
grass is annually burned upon
them, IL converted into hay, TO
glut the market Of all the adjoin-
ing states. The timbered districts,
where the grass is gradually Civ
ing out, would necessarily suffer
from tae operation Of a law that
would license the shipment Of ma
live hay out a. the country. For
speculative purposes all the best
rlass could be seized upon to the
akolnsinn Of many who would
