"Don't be a clam" Don't allow
any set Of men to stuff you on al
lotment. Don't you believe that
your only salvation is in dividing
up the country. Don't be sud
denly converted to doctrine you
know nothing Of. Better demand
that the set Of men who have got
you in this fix step down and outand
let you run il awhile. You know
what is to your interest better than
any politician on earth II you will
only depend on yourself and con-
suit one another.
Quit voting for men because they
are "kin" to you; they should
have better recommendations than
that. Give all the political par
ties the bounce and vote as you
please after you have perfected
your plans with your brethren
who are in the same box. The
greatest benefit the Alliance con-
fers upon her membership is the
cure Of political hero-worship and
If you are not cured you had better
attend more regularly and set close
to the teacher.
When the old politician has
foothold in your union you must
love, but not look upon him as a
superior being. You have your
axe to grind; let him turn the
grindstone for you awhile land
ye be happy granger.

were they not opened ? Has the
nations credit run so low that she
cannot operate two schools for
three months-and her paper

Perhaps the poor people he
speaks OF are willing to take fifty
cents for the use Of their grass for
an indefinite period, when the
same privil ege is worth and they
can get two dollars per year for it.

Now THAT the expense Of run
ming the courts in the Indian Ter
ritory is being canvassed, it is in
order to invite the attention
of the Attorney General
to the enormous and unneces-
sary expense incurred by the gov
ernment in taking criminals
from this territory for examination
before the United States Commits
sioners at Ft. Smith and Paris.
Here il mine that may be work
ed to great advantage. When Of
tenders and numerous witnesses
are carried hundreds Of miles for
examination when the same can
be done equally well in the locality
where the offense is committed, it
behooves the government to in
quire If this expense cannot also
be saved. Let the financial inves-
tigation be extended to Ft. Smith
and Paris and the sickle Of reform
be thrust in and about the courts
Of Arkansas and Texas IN their re-
lation to the Indian Territory.

That STATE" ~ Organization.
DELAWARE Dist. Feb. 16, '9l.
The organization of the Chero
kee Nation into a separate state
Alliance by the delegates that met
at Tahlequah last week was a blow
at the very life of the order in this
country, and should be repudiated
promptly by "every mothers SON.
in the ranks Of the Alliance.
We are glad to record the fact
that the great body Of the Alliance
had nothing to do with this fool.
hardy movement in fact the num-
Der of persons participating is vari-
ously stated all the way from
twelve to sixteen. What few men,
bers have been connected with this
shameful affair should be relegated
to the rear and treated as a set of
pusillanimous demagogues, as they
are.
The people of this country have
been forced to organize into secret
society in order to protect them.
selves from this very element that
is now trying TO destroy the Ali
ance. During the first year of its
existence the Farmers Alliance
has shown itself capable of doing
great good to the country. 1t has
taken prominent part in exposing
the fraud and rottenness of our
present political system and will
continue to strike from the shout
der everything that has the least
semblance of fraud.
Those who desire to ride into Of
flee on the Alliance should study
the character of John James In
gals, of Kansas, who retires OH the
4tE of March from the United
States senate. Here is case Of
brilliant ability and more than
brilliant opportunity destroyed by
the absence of conviction and the
contempt Of principle.
Many have asked the question,
"Will the Alliance sit down on
this movement. My answer is,
emphatically, "Yes." We can
only judge ofthe future by the past.
Did she sit down upon the mill
scheme? Did she sit down upoln
the cattle law? Did she sit dow
upon the Red Hill wild cat nionY
We only point to these instances
TO show that the Alliance is in the
right and can be relied upon in ev-
cry emergency.
1t is true that we have men oc-
cupying high places in our order
that have been greatly oyerrated.
But this is easily explained when
we point to the fact that the Far
mers' Alliance was in its infancy
and few in numbers when these
parties were placed in the positions
they now occupy.
| have abounding and abiding
faith in the Farmers Alliance and
the men who constitute the rank
and file of the order, and when
they realize and appreciate the en-
deavor just made by twelve or fif-
teen individuals to take charge of
the whole Cherokee Nation and
put it down into their pantaloons,
| am confident what the result will
be. A PRIVATE.
