lCOMMUNICATED.

At an Alliance rally recently
in Georgia Gen. Weaver a North
western Allianceman in a speech
said: "At the close Of the war
there were 25,O0O,O0O people in
the northern States and 12,O0O,-
600 in the southern states. The
money which the North had
been using had to flow in part
to the South, leaving a shrinkage
there, and the government
called i'll a large part of its
money and burned it up and
substituted interest, bearing
bonds. Times got harder and
harder until the people could
stand it no longer, and the panic
of 1878 followed, which the
people said lasted six years but
from which the country had
really never recovered. 1t il
the same old ague. Sixty three
million people are now trying
to do business on less money
than the 25,OOO,OOO northern
people had just after the war
And yet, said General Weaver
some people are asking what i.
the matter. If you put your
hand in your pocket you car
feel what is the matter"

There is nothing that equals

It has the greatest advantage
that it does not ipjure the skin,
but renders it soft, like a little
child's. Take a soft CLOTH or
sponge and bath the face, neck
and arms thoroughly with but
termilk before retiring for the
night then wipe off the drops
lightly. In the morning wash
it thoroughly and wipe dry with
a crash towel. Two or three
such baths will take off all the

The pleasant effect and the perfect
safety with which ladies may use the
liquid fruit laxative, Syrup Of Figs,
under all conditions make it their

suRgesta a Different conrso

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-Please al
low me few words in our paper.
When | say "our paper" | mean
that ! am an Alliance man and
that the paper is a defender of that
class of farmers. If there is any
thing am in favor Of it is honor
and justice TO our fellow-ma
What are the grand principles that
are laid down for us to 90 by ? If
we had a member that would vary
from those principles would
surely cast my vote to suspend
him from our lodge.
What makes me write is this:
have read a great deal in THE
CHIEFTAIN in regard to the COW
law and some of our fellow MEM
bers have censurcd the late eoun-
ell for passing a law which some
no doubt think is unjust But let
us look into and examine the con
dition OF our affairs and see If these
members had any just cause for
passing the so-called COW law. At
the time of the passage Of this bill
our treasury was emptied By the
paying out of the s30O,000 to the
people; therefore it looked as
if something had to be done to
enable the wheels of our govern
ment to roll on. know there
were members who belonged to
that body that were as far from
doing wrong as any of those who
censured them.
This bill was passed the middle
of the regular session; it was a law
one month aud a half before coun-
ell adjourned. Why was 1t that
those who so bitterly oppose it
did not ask for a reconsideration
of the law before council adj
journed ? l think that would have
been the proper time to reconsider
the matter, without putting the
Cherokee Nation to a great deal of
unnecessary expense by calling a
council now.

the judge Of United States
court the duties Of a police
judge OF justice Of the peace ?
Why employ all the complicated
and expensive machinery of a
United States court in order to in.
aicl a FIVE dollar fine upon the
perpetrators Of a slight misde-
meanor? There is no sense in do
ing business this way as every sen.
sible person can readily see, and
the Attorney General ought to urge
upon congress such an amendment
to the present law as will secure
its execution and at very little ex-
pense to the government.
The administration of criminal
law in the Indian Territory is ex-
pensive, because every recognized
or committed offender is subjected
TO two trials, one before the
Commissioner and one in the
United States court. Let the Com
missioner finish the job while he
is about it and three. fourths Of the
expense will be saved and the law
be rendered more efficient and
beneficial than ever. Give him
authority to try all misdemeanois
and to inflict fines and penalties
and his court win become nearly
or quite self.suslaining and there
will arise no occasion to ignore any
statutory otiense, but the law Will
be upheld and vindicated and the
community strengthened in the
faith that CLAW and order are TO
be upheld by the government and
all citizens and residents ofthe ter
ritory protected in their rights.
We believe bill can be framed
that will secure all these desirable
results, so that our courts may be
run and all penal statutes executed
with but little or no expense to
the government, and very little in
to the friends OF law
and order. This experiment had
better be tried before abandoning
the idea Of enforcing salutary and
necessary criminal enactments, and
Withdrawing that protection which
now for nearly one year has been
extended over our people with
such satisfactory results.

Hot shot From Lightning Oreek


EDITOR INDIAN CHIEFTAIN:-The
great tidal wave Of Texas cattle
will soon be here; are we prepared
to meet it2 Let US use all fair and
honorable means to stop 1t; no
doubt there will bo some that may
become desperate by the loss OF
their stock and resort to violence,
but | hope wiser counsel may pre-
vail. Our remedy is the ballot
box and not the cartridge box.
Let those that committed this out
rage be held responsible for the
consequences; do not blame one or
two men. Nearly all are to blame.
Why did YOU not lease the district
to the highest bidder2 You would
have surely got larger bid than
fifty cents. Why did you ex-
tend the time? to give the cattle
men a chance to sell the hay which
they will not need under the pres
ent law ? There was no veto, no
protest, and you have no ex-
cuse for making such laws. The
people will have no further use for
you; we will have new men and a
new COW law. But some may say,
"Wheie will you get these men p
| say, thank God all honest men
are not dead yet; there will be a
new order of things; the office will
hunt the men. These fellows that
run all over the country with
pockets full Of foul cigars and to-

always forgetting to keep them
