LET US HELP THE POOR.

ADAlh. july Othi lsal,
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN: Seeing 4
great deal in your paper Cor more
properly speaking our paper on
alot,ing our lands, all of which |
endorse, | have often thought |
would add my little influence to
help carry the good work forward
to a successful end. Though an
adopted citizen and not residing
here very long, it looks to me as
the only salvation Of the interest
of the many from the greed of the
few. As things are now, the poor
man has no show whatever to use
his portion Of our country He
probably has team and farming
outfit but is not able to fence So
let us profit by the experience of
Kansas and Missouri, and while
we are allotting let us have a stock
law too. Then our poor citizen
with his team can cultivate his
land and be on an equal footing
with his rich neighbor. Let those
who are able to own stock take
care Of il and not compel the poor
to take care Of itby having to fence
their portion to keep out your or
my stock. Let us not grovel along
for twenty or thirty years in Old
ruts because our fathers did, but
let our motto ever be onward and
upward, reaping the benefit of
others experience and striving to
attain to even greater heights Of
success than they, having for our
watch words, equal and exact JUS
tice to all and the greatest good to
the greatest number. Let us try
to take care Of the poor and needy;
the rich can take care Of them
selves. Yours for the right,
ID. S. CUMMING.

THE UNKINDEsT OUT OF ALL

THE UNKINDEST OUT OF ALL.
Some weeks ago we predicted a
landslide in the Mayes ranks, but
did not expect it so soon. Neither
did we think it would be precipi-
tated by one who had been the
chief beneficiary. Mr.. w. e. Hal
SELLS declaration at Chelsea did
the work effectually. II was gen.
orally believed that such was the
case, but it is no longer a question
of doubt. He acknowledged just
what the people have been trying
TO prove, namely, that he (Halsell)
handled our council and chief in
the passage of the infamous COW
law. This is enough, "turn the
rascals out.n

act as whipper-in of the colored

THE finest thing about the Cher
okee people is that they have
views and are not afraid to express
them. They have been telling
them to each other a good while;
now they are giving them to the
public. One of their views is that
the Downing party has become
effete. They are now imparting
their views to Joel Mayes. They
have even limited to Joel that he
must step down and out. Joel is
going to act stubborn about it, but
public opinion is on "June rise. F"
Everybody is mad; even the man
that stood by and bossed the job is
mad, and the only thing left for
Joel to do is to follow the example
of Crocket's coon and come down
and deliver his hide.

ONE of the questions to be de-
cided at the coming election is
whether a government of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the
people, where all men are equal
before the law, one man has a right
to obtain absolute control or not. If
the present condition of affairs is
continued another four years this
Cherokee Nation instead of being
the land of the free and the home
of the brave will be the home of
the rich and the land of the slave.

He Never Took the Oath.

PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-Ex-City
Treasurer John Bardsley should have
been arraigned before Magistrate Pole
this morning on the charge of perjury
in violating his oath of Office by receiv-
ing interest on deposits of city money,
and in deposiring city monies to his
own credit and using it accordingly.
Since the last hearing, however, it has
developed that through some extraor-
dinary inadvertance Bardsley never
took the oath of office, or that If he did
all record of the same has disappeared
from the archives of the prothonotary
of the court of common pleas, ex-Judge
w. Ii. Mann. Still more remarkable,
moreover, there is not n single city Off
cial that has any recollection of the
oath of Office having been taken. AS a
result the criminal proceedings for
perjury have necessarily been aban-
doned

Still Talking Rates.

CHICAGO, June l3.-A special commit
tee of the Western Passenger associa.
ton appointed to report upon the rates
to Detroit for the Grand Army of the
Republic, is holding another session
today, but it has already found that in
undertaking to harmonizc the differ
ences which exist it has altogether too
big a contract on its hands. The Alton
to any reduction from regular fares un-
less all the lines agree that east of
Chicago the traffic shall be sent by the
Wabash, which is the only line not
boycotting the Alton. This puts the
Western Passenger association in the
position either of refusing to make
special rates or in helping the Alton by
retalitory boycott against the east
ern roads. The committee has decided
TO reject the proposition to make spe-
cial rates to Chicago and to allow pass
engers to purchase tickets from that
city to Detroit over any line they
please. on the ground that the scalp
ers would get the best of the bargain
and the railroads would lose hundreds
of thousands of dollars

CHICAGO, June s.-The Hon. Sol Van
Pragg is the proud proprietor of n rum
and beer saloon dive in the very worst
section of that salubrious portion of
the city known as 1.-The levee." by
the grace of the toughest of the tough
tizens of the First Legislative district,
moreover, the Hon. Sol is also one of
the lawmakers of the state of Illinois,
and, for several months past, with
headquarters at Springfield, he has
been engaged in adding force and
character--of lkind--to the laws
whiee will figure in the next volume
of the book of statutes. Today, however,
the Hon Sol is compelled to permit the
House of Representatives To run itself
without his valuable assistance from
the fact that his presence is urgently
needed in the United States District
court on charges of subornation of
perjury. and conspiracy, on both of
which charges grand jury has found
true bills. 1t is charged, and the evil
dencs for the government is pretty
strong, thut previous 20 the elections

registration lists in his own ward by

torney Milchrist says that he would
have been brought to trial before had
il not been for the fact that some peo-
pie might have looked upon it as
political persecution owing to the
closeness of the Legislature in the mat
ter of the senatorial contest. Now
that the Legislature is pretty well
through with its work, however, the
government proposes to push the ease
to the end.

An Iowa Land Case,

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Acting Sec
retary Chandler has approved the ac-
tion of the commissioner of the general
land Office rejecting the application of
of the state of Iowa, through its agent,
Isaac X. Hit, To cash indemnity for
certain lanos in Montgomery county
and Harrison county. In the case of
Harrison county the state originally
claimed indemnity for 2, 1870 acres. OF
these the Office allowed 24O acres, and
the state waived its claim, through its
deputy agent, to indemnity for 1880
acres. subsequently the state, through
Hit, denied the waiver of the state,
but the secretary sustained the com
missioner and the state will get no fur
ther indemnity.

ST. LOUIS, June l3.-The situation in
Ohio is the chief subject OF discussion
this morning and it was decided to
open the campaign without delay, and
without waiting for the convention of
the new party that has been called to
meet at Springfield. Jesse Harper, the
venerable green-baclker of Illinois, will
start the ball rolling next week, and
Senator PETER, Sockless Simpson, Con-
gresham Davis, General Weaver of
Iowa, and other lights of the new
party, to total of more than forty,
will be put to work throughout the
state. The entire machine viii be tii-
rected toward electing sufficient
number of senators and representatives
to hold the balance of power in the
legislature and prevent the reelection
of John Sherman to the United States
senate.

Yashhnrne,s Ahsenes.

CHICAGO, June s.-A good deal Of un-
favorable comment has been created
by the failure Of Mayor lWashburnc to
put in an appearance at the recent ded-
cation at Galena of the statue of Gen.
,ral Grant. His absence was the more
noticeable from the fact that Chicago's
mayor is n native of Galena and mem
Der of prominent Galcna family to
boot. The fact is now recalled that in
gears gone by there was a disagreement
between the Washburnc and Grant
'amilies that in some parts of the world
would be called q feud, and people are
asking whether this hostility To every
thing bearing the name of Grant has
descended as a heritage To the son and
oeen accepted by the latter to such an
sxtent as to warrant him in publicly
,lighting the memory of the great COM
nander.

THE GRIP IN ENGLAND.
It's Fearful Hold on the English and Its
Wonderfully Fatal Results.

Wonueffuuy fatai ttcsuits'
New York, June 10.--A London dis
patch says: The influenza epidemic ID
still raging, although not quite SO
virulently as week ago. The suffer-
ers throughout the country are num-
bered by hundreds OF thousands.
Gpecial prayers for the abatement OF
the epidemic were offered in churches
OF the Episcopal and other denomina-
tions ON Sunday. The Episcopal prayer
which was drawn up by the bishop of
Lincoln, appeals TO the Almighty for
cessation Of the great sickness and
mortality which the malady has ere
atcd in the United Kingdom. On Sun
day, for the second time within two
weeks, and also for the second time in
its history, the house of commons was
thoroughly fumigated. This was done
by hermitically sealing the doors,
windows. vcntilators and every other
aperture. Large numbers of dishes
containing thiocamf % liquid combina-
ton of sulphur dioxide, campbor and
other powerful disinfectants, were
then placed together with sulphur
candles in the chamber below the
house, the vapors gradually rising
through the perforated iron hoar and
seats until the chamber was filled
with the horrible mixture. Early on
Monday morning the chamber was
opened, gusts Of air were sent through
il 10y means of powerful fans from the
Thames cmbanlsment, the fonl-smell-
ing odor dispersed, and the historic
chamber declared TO have been thor
oughly clcansed. -Four hundred school
teachers within the limits of the city
of London school board are down with
the malady. and it has been found
necessary to close many of the schools.
the inmates of the various workhous-
es and pauper institutions are also Sc
we're sufferers. In Bethnal Green
workhouse one hundred inmates are
down, while the number of deaths last
week reached thirty-four Two-thirds
Of the community known as the PEI
culiar people at Crossing in Essex,
are suffering from the malady. They
are forbidden by their tenets to
avail themselves of medical assist
ance. but in the present cpl
denic, as in the recent outbreak of
smallpox amongst them, they disre-
garded their leading rule of faith, and
called in the local doctors. The Queens
Bench division of the high court OF
Justice has held but one session during
the past week, four-fifths Of the law
ycrs whose cases were on the docket
being unable 10 attend. From all over
the country there come reports of the
deaths of prominent people. In Lei
cester one-half of the business of the
town is suspended and IS per cent OF
the teachers in the public schools are
prostrated. No less than twenty-five
ministers from the leading cities who
have been attending the recent Con
gregational meetings in London have
been struck down by influenza and are
unable To return to their homes. In
many country districts in the southern
and western sections of the country
there has been so much mortality and
sickness that the people are panic
stricken. Fifty-eight members of the
house of commons are on the sick list.
