ANOTHER LETTER.

Last week The CHIEFTAIN pre-
sented personal letter, reserving
the writer's name, written in re-
sponse to a request for the gentle
mans views upon current events
of the country. Herewith is an
other letter, written by a man OF
prominence, who, as the tone Of
his remarks imply, leans towards
the nationals, but at the same
time votes convictions and princi-
pals instead of party policy:
DEAR SIR:-* Judge
Mayes' majority three years ago
was only about 1870 votes and in
my opinion if the election should
come Of tomorrow he would be
defeated by George Bengo. Yet
none ofus know what a year may
bring forth. The present opposi-
tion to Judge Mayes may subsido
or it may increase. The senti-
nent of this immediate locality to
the gentleman has changed but
little since the last election, yet,
unless | am badly mistaken, that
change has not been in his favor.
In my opinion, a third party, if
formed, will not have much of
following. Those who favor allot-
ment in the two parties will be
satisfied by private assurances
from their candidates &s to that
measure.
shall be happy if you continue
TO champion the allotment move
ment and will read with pleasure
any just criticisms OF Chief Mayes'
official career, yet personally l
have nothing but the warmest feel
fnts for him.

Southwest City Leader;-J. e.
llarlin tells us Of tho havoc that
the lightning played on his place
last Monday night week. Light.
ming struck barbed wire fence,
killing two head Of cattle and Oh
tirely consuming the wire that the
fence was composed Of, besides
shocking and frightening his fami-
~ half out of their wits. 4**
We are informed that cyclone
pas ssed through the northern part
Of this county and portions Of
Newton on last Saturday night,
carrying away fences and in sew
eral instances blowing away
houses and barns. Newtonia was
knocked endwise and the resi-
dence Of John Scott near the Split
log railroad was entirely des-
troyed, and a number Of members
Of the family more or less injured.
The track of the tornado was
about quarter Of a mile wide.

REGARDINa THR STRIP.

Although September first
marked the extreme limit Of the
time named by the president for
clearing the Cherokee strip Of cat
tie, only such have been removed
as were in proper condition for
shipment. On the day named
President Hewins, of the cattle
association, telegraphed the presi-
dent Of the condition of affairs and
promised, if an extension was
granted to December / all livestock
would be removed. If the exten-
sion was refused the association
would fight in the courts against
the forcible removal of their prop
erty from the lands, the lease Of
which does not expire until three
years hence. If Mr.. Hewins de-
sires the hearty cooperation Of
the Cherokee people-not speak
ing for the oiiicers-he will do
well to pay the s10O,o rental
due July 1st, last. It begins to
look a little like Mr.. Hewins' COM
pany was getting ready to leave
she Cherokees in the lurch

TAKING THR OATH.

We learn that scores Of the dis
franchised white men of the Chick
asaw nation are preparing to take
the oath of allegiance to the United
States, This is not at all improb.
able, and yet no one can censure
them for doing the same, if the re-
port is true. Whether rightfuily
or wrongfully deprived of suffrage
it makes little difference; their
condition is just the same. They
remain amenable to the laws Of
the Chickasaw government, while
they have no voice in the passage
of the laws under which they live.
The new court bill offers them
way out Of this difficulty by taking
the oath of allegiance to the United
States government, coming under
the laws of the said government,
and at the same time retaining
their landed rights and other priv
ileges vouchsated TO them by In
dian treaties and tribal laws.
More than this, the United States
offers special protection TO these
newly born citizens and agrees to
throw around them especial"
arm of protection; and OF these
special arms Of protection the
United States has quite a number
where it comes TO offering induce
ments to Indians, that will cause
them to make further steps toward
severing their tribal rights. While
we do not blame the disfranchised
in the least for such a step, as it is
the only one left them, we do
blame bona ide Indian citizens
for taking such steps unless it is
absolutely necessary for personal
protection, which is always par.
amount to every other inducement
in any other direction. There is
considerable conflict already be-
tween the Indian and United States
laws, now in force over the five
tribes, and as time advances il viii
become more and more compli-
Gated, until it will be hard to tell
who is who and which is which
and many of us will forget alto
gether who We are and where we
ong.-Atoka Independent.

committees recommendation,
which he thinks is too much in
the interest OF the big sugar re-
finers. Senator Allison does not
think very well Of reciprocity
either, but he will not openly
opp osc it,
The CONF pound lard bill, after
as stormy career as any bill, not
political, ever had, passed the
house with only thirty-one oppos-
ing votes, but those thirty-one
men had for several days kept the
house in continuous uproar, and
had disgraced il by being the
cause Of a fist fight upon the floor.
That no more votes could be OBJ
tanned against this measure by the
powerful lobby working against
it, speaks volumes for the integ-
rity OF the much abused congress-
man. ! do not mean to insinuate
that any one Of the gentlemen who
voted against the bill was improp-
erly influenced 1.-The members
from the cotton states and from Chi
eago, the headquarters OF the com
pound lard industry; but repre-
sented the sentiments of their
constituents in opposing the bill;
but it is to the members from 9TH
er sections who refused to be cor
rupted that | wish to give credit.
The meat inspection bill is now
law.
The bill amending the eight
hour law has been passed by the
house. Likewise that amending
the alien labor contract law,
and it is expected that the bill
against dealing in options in farm
products viii be given a day this
week in place of the one out Of
which the tangle in the house
euchered it last week. All of the
influences which unlimited wealth
can command are being used
AGAINST this bill but if the house
is given a chance to vote upon it
| believe 1t will be passed.
Those who think that Senator
ingalls, can only make the sarcas-
tic, vituperative speeches for
which he has become noted, should
have heard the eulogy Of the late
Senator Beck which he delivered
in the senate recently. It's
language and sentiments were sell
dom if ever surpassed in original
ity or good taste upon the floor Of
the senate, and if Mr.. ingalls, had
never before made a speech it
would have placed him in the front
rank Of scholars and orators. It
shines out like a star of the first
magnitude amid the usual rubbish
on such occasions, and should be
read and preserved by every lover
of the beautiful and tasteful in or
