At the present writing it does not seem at
all likely that the average eastern paper
will ever be able to draw the line between a
duel and an ordinary street fight in
which weapons are used. Any sort of single
combat is a duel to them, even though it be
drunken brawl or an extempore conflict
with stale bologna sausages.

Let Us not break ranks AMI rush

A joint resolution passed the

the house included ex-stewards.

The biggest sensation of the
council was that created to-day by
the chief sending down the name
Of L. J.. CIutchfield, of Vinita, to
be revenue collector for the Cher
okee nation" The construction
of the new law has been that there
is to be one collector for each dis
trict. The first paragraph Of it
reads: THAT there be and is here
BY created the Office of revenue
collector for the several districts of
this nation" Nearly all through
the law the term collector is used
in the singular number. The SEN
ate and all the spectators were
dumbfounded and have not caught
their breath yet. An adjournment
took place and it is reported that
che prominent senator stated his
intention to move to lay the NOM
ination upon the table until nine
collectors are sent down.

it is known they have agreed upon

TO TERRITORIAL MEMBERS.


The Farmers and Laborer's
Union of the Indian Territory is
getting TO ne 4 factor Of no small
proportions. We do not consider
that the benefits and objects of our
order differ much from the aims
and hopes Of the order throughout
the country, yet our wants may
not be altogether in common with
our neighboTs in the states. For
these reasons it is hoped that at
no distant day a general meeting
of delegates from all the sub-Al-
liances viii be held and the wishes
and wants Of the order here in the
territory discussed. We are al
ready a factor Of ourselves and we
as farmcrs and laborers, in order
TO better our condition, now pro-
pose TO make our wants known 10
this order and if needed to elect
uch men TO make our laws and
see that our wants are secured.
We now have no need to GO chas-
ing after the local or professional
politician; being united we pro-
pose 10 use our forces to execute
the wants and necessities that
years Of corruption and misman-
agement Of public affairs have
heaped upon Us.

THE ALLIANCE IN MTHEs STATES


The order Is, from reports, max
ing great progress, but IS far from
being united in sufficient strength
to reach al the dangers that men,
ace the members Of the union.
Within a week a trust OF all the
barb wire companies has been
formed and wire advanced one
cent a pound. a still greater
trust. formed Of all the manufac-
turers of farm machinery, includ-
ing mowers and reapers, all in one
gigantic combine to force up prices
this coming harvest Of 1891, is an
other recent venture. Now with
all the hopes Of this order il looks
as though the leaders who are at
the helm of so many millions Of
the Union are either unfit TO unite
US 10 combat this combine, or else
we are far weaker than should be
expected Of even n few well Ut ed,
determined members Of a society
with a common cause to strive for.

an INSTRUCTIVE LETTER.

THE CHIEFTAIS having adopted
a more definite policy in regard to
that all-absorbing topic of the day,
the Farmers Alliance, it occurred
to me that a few lines of argument
in support of said move would not
be out of place. As far as THE
CHIEFTAIN is concerned it is a
financial venture backed by con-
victiOns of right. The Alliance
was in need of 4 means of public
communication so the arrangement
was n mutual agreement ,one where
both sides of the trade feel sure
they viii make money and be Of
advantage TO every patron of the
paper, whether the patron is a
subscriber or an advertiser. And
right here l want to discuss a dis
position that is prominent in Al
lance members and business men.
As soon as the one has Joined the
order they both seem to think
there Is declaration of war be-
tween the two. This is an erro-
neous idea. for the farmer cannot
be divorced from the merchant
and the merchant cannot continue
to prosper while the farmer is con-
tinuously losing property, either
by actual destruction or deprecia-
ton Of prices. And no one who
is acquainted with the affairs OF
the farmer will maintain that far
mers are prosperous nor have they
been for more than ten wears.
This continuous depreciation of
prices has created a spirit Of un-
rest and it is but natural that they
should direct their first endeavors
10 better their condition by an az
rangement with the merchant who
is in sight and appears to be max
ing money. ! viii not discuss the
profits of the retail merchant.
They may be unreasonable and
now that the farmer has begun to
investigate, if they are unreason-
able he will find it out and will
think out a way to remedy the
evil. But if the merchant will
meet the farmer half way, giving
where they are reason
able and maintaining his position
with reasonable argument where
cannot be made, then
there will be no Alliance stores
and business will prosper as far as
practicable while the financial
remain as they are.
The thinking and investigating
element OF the Alliance has gone
away beyond the retail counters of
the country, N looking for the
source of hard times, and has
placed the blame at the doors Of
our law makers and tell the story
in Just two wOrds-"class legisla-
tiOn"-which has especially Gre
ated a monopoly il our lana, money
and transportation, and smaller
monopolies by the score. The |
farmers in conjunction with the
Knights of Labor at their great 1
III st. Louis one year ago,
made certain demands in a plat
form which they think will, if
enacted into law, bring relief. |
They have stood by them for a
year aud when no concessions /
could be gained they have empha-
sized their demands at the ballot /
box and in many instances with /
success. But" says one, you

Tuesday, Dec 16--The senate

sition to obligate himself to take

A gre-t wrangie ensued over the
Dill to pay census takers for extra
services Il was found that some
had time doubled up; others had
put in Snrdays and so the senate
trimmed them down considerably.
Much incomPetency is charged to
the census takers and not without
ezase- The committees who have
revised these rolls have consumed
large portion OF their time this
council and some have not report

from spelling and bad writing; for
