Paris Morphine Joints.

w oman.
There are now in Paris several establish
ments devoted to offering to ladies who are
victims to passion for morphia opportunities
for indulging this terrible taste. Persons are
admitted only on presentation of an entrance
ticket. The door is carefully shut after the
''patient," who passes on to dimly lighted
reception-room, where sit a number of women,
whose pale faces, hollow eyes, and miserable
expressions tell too plainly the hold that the
drug has obtained over them, A door opens
and all the watchers near rise and rush toward
it, trying to be the first to enter the room
ing waiting for the next patient. I suppose
that the method of enjoying the noxious drug
here indicated is by subcutaneous injection,
but if this is the case 1t seems strange that the
authorities, who by means of the secret police
know everything that is occurring in Paris,
have not yet taken means to put the pernicious
practice down.

MEN AND CRAvBNs

While the late election has not
been entirely satisfactory to all
and as a matter of course it could
not be, there is a disposition
among the more intelligent and
reasonable of our citizens to accept
the situation as they find it With
them the bitterness and asperities
Of the campaign just ended win
soon be thing Of the past and
good feeling will again resume its
place. But there are those who
have gone TO such extremes and
have so disregarded the rights Of
others that it will have blot upon
their lives that time will never
erase. There are some strokes Of
venom and animosity, some ex.
treme partisan bitterness that so
blinds the reason and warps the
better judgment Of those who give
way to it, that it forever blights
the intimacy of years and leaves
the heart so scathed and schorched
as to never again put forth bud oe
blossom of friendship. This cam
paign has brought to the frontmen
and cravens. 1t has develope d
the manhood Of some, while it has
exposed the depravity of others.
1t has afforded an opportunity on
the one hand for the display Of
honor and patriotism, while on the
other hand it has afforded an op-
portunity for the low and the vulgar
to attack the most sacred rights Of
those with whom they are not to
be compared in point Of integrity
and social standing. 1t has in this
town exposed 10 public view the
rottenness and utter depravity OF
men VINO had always been supposed
to have fair degree of the finer
feelings that go to make up the
true man. We sometimes think
that it takes occasions Of this kind
to really draw the line Of demarka-
ton between the man and the
"mouse"-the true gentleman and
the moral leper. The divine in
junction is, "prove all things;
hold fast to that which is good. "
This is the way to prove them
Occasions like the one in question
show them in their true colors and
now we know them.

WHY NOT SAVE THU oUTLnrq

WHY NOT SAVE THE oUTLETq
Now that the elections is over
there is one thing to which we
would like TO call the attention Of
our readers, regardless Of partys
namely, the lands west Of 96
degrees. There seems to bca dis.
position among all classes Of our
citizens to sell the western lands.
Our honest opinion is that this is
bad policy. Why? Because in the
first place we need the lands and
secondly we don't have to sell
them. When we come to reason
this matter we arrive at one of two
conclusions: The lands are ours OF
they are not ours. The title i.
either good or it is not good. l
the title is in the Cherokees it is
plain that it is not in the United
States. If it had been they woult
have had the land in their posses
sion long ago and negotiations
would be unnecessary. Tne fac
is, the title is really IN the Cherokee
and if proper steps are taken W,
believe the strip can be allotted
among our own citizens. w,
have no land to sell. We viii
need, in the near future, all tn,
land, both east and west, for actua
settlers. Let us consider well the
possibility of holding the StnI
before consenting to a sale Of any
part Of it. There is hardly a doubt
but what the United States govern
ment would allow us to settle the
Strip if the proper steps wer,
taken. This is a question tha
should receive the prompt atten
ton of the next council, with nC
reference to party lines whatever
and we invite a thorough discus
sion of this important question
through the columns of The CHIEF
TAIN during the interim between
now and the meeting of council il
November.

A TWO WEEKS, OUTING.
A Few Sights Of Interest in the
Cool Northland.


Now that the general election
the all-absorbing topic for a year
past--is over, possibly a few notes
gathered on a recent trip through
the cool and refreshing regions OF
Wisconsin and Minnesota will be
acceptable. II was the writer's
good fortune a year ago, at the
Boston meeting Of the National
Editorial Association 10 be placed
upon the executive committee Of
that body, and hence given an OPP
portunity Of being present at the
seventh annual convention held at
st. Paul, July 18th to l7th. As
nearly everything these days either
begins or ends at Chicago, (eyen
the worlds fair, which proposes
to do BOTH il was but natural that
a beginning OF this convention
should be p1ade at that city.
The Journey from the Indian
Territory TO Chicago is the easiest
of accomplishment in the west,
for corresponding distance. TAX
ing the Missouri, Kansas d Texas
morning train, No. 4, close con-
nection is made at Hannibal
with the Chicago, Burlington
IL Quincy, and the passenger
is landed in the union depot
at Chicago just twenty -four hours
and twenty minutes from the time
of leaving Vinita. A Pullman
sleeper runs clear through, making
it perfectly safe for inYalids or
children to travel unattended.

Mayes is Elected J His vote Large
ly Reduced in the Upper
Districts.
The vote Of the nation for chief,
so far as known is as follows.

While from the returns at hand
IL is only reasonable to conclude
that Mayes is again elected chief
Of this nation, it is nevertheless re-
troshing TO know that where The
CHlEFTAIN circulated largely
Mayes' majorities were either re-
versed or lowered. In Delaware
he polled $50 votes less than his
vote Of four years ago, and in Coo
weescoowee his majority was
brought down from Sc to 46 and
the three upper districts give Mr..
Benge a majority of 50, Delaware
and Saline giving Benge 12S major
ity. 1t is universally conceded
that vast amount of money was
used, and Mayes can have the sat
isfaction of knowing that money
and not the choice of the people
did it. But after all majority Of
the men whose cause we espoused
were elected. We have Wash
bourne and Burlington in the SEN
ate and Copeland, Ballard and
Davis in the council, and Hastings,
clerk, and Ward, judge, and we are
really joyful over the returns
from Delaware. The election of
Judge Clark in Cooweescoowee we
consider Of no small importance as
he is strong man and a warm adj
vocate Of allotment. We do not
try TO conceal the fact that we are
disappointed in the defeat Of w. L.
Trott and John A. Foreman. New
ertheless we cheerlully submit to
the majority against them. We
feel that we have administered a.
just rebuke to Chief Mayes in
giving his opponent a majority in
the upper districts, and last bat
not least we have given Benge a
majority in Vinita precinct, Coo
weescoowee district, the great
stronghold of the Mayes party.

LAST week we called the atten-
ton of the farmers of the country
to the dangers of forming a wheat
combine. For the farmers all to
hold their wheat as is being pro-
posed would only lead to the
market being eventually glutted,
Everybody would be wanting 10
sell at the same time and prices
would drop to ruinous figures and
the last condition Of the farmer
would be worse than the first. A
blunder Of this kind would hurt
the producer much worse than il
would the buyer.

The Rapid Rise and Hard Fail OF
The Cattle Baron


special correspondence dlobe.Dem0crat.
FoRT WoRTH, TEX, July 27.-
The career Of the COW baron was
short but picturesque. Ten years
ago he thought he ownod Texas.
He counted his long-horns on
hundred hills. He held conven-
tions. Five hundred of him sat
down to a So, 900 banquet at Dallas.
They drank champagne from big
goblets. Diamonds as big as the
pecans which grow in the Concho
country sparkled on the bosoms of
the baron's wife and daughters.
When he wanted legislation the
baron went down to Austin and got
Fit. He shouted "free grass" and
he called the farmer who moved
in and settled upon the water
courses of his range "a hester" :"
His cowboys were his feudal fol-
lowing and knew no other law than
his DEGREES.
One night near the end of ses-
sion of the Legislature the barons
and their friends entered behind
closed doors. 1t had been period
of satisfactory law-making for the
cattle interests. Everybody who
was present felt good. A governor,
who had once said that Texas did
not want immigration, sat at the
head of the table. Speech after
speech was made. The cattle in
terests were eulogized. "The nest
er" was ridiculed. Such news
papers as had begun to rebel against
the arrogance OF the barons came
in for hard raps, and finally the
governor, in a spirit of fair play,
called on the only newspaper man
present to defend his craft. Net
tied by the sarcastic filings to which
he had been listening, the speaker
replied, half angrily:
"Gentlemen," said he, "you
may have your sport tonight at
the expense of the despised nest
err" You may think you are strong
enough to defy the press and public
sentiment. But let me tell you
one thing: A man with a hoe has
poked his nose over your wire
fence and is looking at you to-day.
You'll kill him of course, | know
that very well. Tomorrow there IL
be two men with hoes looking over
that same fence. Kill the two, and
tomorrow there'l be four men
with hoes looking at you. Kill
them, and tomorrow you'll see
eight men with hoes in the same
place. 1t isn't in the nature of
things, gentlemen, for an acre OF
land which will raise twenty BUSH
els of wheat to be given up for all
time to the possession of the FIVE
dollar COW. Mark what | tell you.
In ten years the man with a hoe
will have you on "the run"
The barons laughed. But is was
their last banquet. They had
never heard of "the man with the
hoe" till then. Ten years? The
prophet gave himself an unneces-
sarily long limit. He might have
cut his time in two. Five years
after the prediction was uttered
the barons' reign was over. "The
man with the hoe" was a reality.
IL had pair of nippers in his
pocket and walked through the
barons' fences. To-day "the man
with a hoe" is everywhere. He is
a Texas provefb. As you get of
the cars at Fort Worth; his picture,
ten feet high, confropts you. Yet
in 1888 Fort Worth %orshiped at
the feet of the baron aad grew rich
on the profits of his round-ups.

In 1878 and 1879 cattle roamed
over three-fourths of Texas. The
ranges stretched from the Gull to
No Mans Land and from Fort
Worth to El Paso. Those cattle
were worth IS head when there
was any market at all for them
They were called dogies in east
Texas, sea lions down by the Gulf,
and long horns in the Panhandle.
In 1881 the price had crept up to
sl2. so a head. Then the COW bar
on burst his shell. In 1882 these
same cattle went TO s22 80 head,
and held that for two years.
There were 100000 of them.
Money poured in from the North
and East to buy at this advanced
price. Cattle companies were
formed, more than hundred of
them. Stock was sold right and
left. Blocks of it were taken
with ayidity by men who had
never seen Texas and never ex-
pected to see it. To one looking
back upon that wild rush into the
cattle business, it seems as if a
mania must have taken possession
of otherwise level l-headed men.
Nobody can tell the amount of
capital which flowed in from the
North to be invested in cattle.
But it never flowed back. Every
body loaded up, and then the pri-
ces began to drop, drop. They
went clear back to the point from
which they had started, and the
tenderfoot and his money were
parted forever.
Fast as the baron's wealth
waned, his power in politics and
his prestige in business departed
faster. Five years after Dallas
had given the baron a $1,000 BAN
quet there was none in the COM
mercial metropolis TO do him rev.
erence. Five years after the bar
on had been shown at Austin by
Col. Bill Sterelt the handwriting Of
"the man with a hoe" on the wall
the Legislature had decreed an
end to free grass" The baron
was buying or leasing .ho public
land for his cattle to roam over.
The despised "nester" had
shouldered the hoe and was NOV
ing in steady ranks over tho ranges
to the northwest, to the west and
10 the southwest. IL was strange
transformation.
The writer in Fort Worth half a
dozen years ago heard only of cattle.
As he walked along the streets he
saw posted the bulletins of the
live stock markets OF the North.
The biggest news Of tho day was
the sale of a ranch. In the adver.
tising columns OF tho newspapers
the cabalistio cattle brands were
scattered over a page until il
looked like the covering Of Chi
nese tea chest. To day, Gen.
Clark, the Secretary OF the Board
Of Trade took out his returns from
the region tributary 10 Fort Worth
and showed that "tho man with
the hoe" would produce this year:
