EX-SENATOR MCCONNELL, in an in
terview in the Spokane Review, talks
freely and poiutedly on the Clagett-
DUBOIS matter. He says: IL really
think there is no contest. Ifthe Sen
ate should decide Mr.. Dubois election
illegal, it will also hold the same in
regard to the election of Mr. Clagett
Just so. Then Mr.. Clagett's efforts
will resolve themselves in this: He
is working to create a vacancy and
have the Governor ill that vacancy
until the meeting of the next legisla-
ture. But even that will not help
Mr. Clagett individually for it is safe
guessing to say that the Governor
would not appoint him. Not long
hence we shall expect to hear from
the somber frs and pines around Os
borne a mournful dirge like this
Billy, farewell; farewell to thy Sena
torial honors and Senatorial greatness
thou hast gone and done 1t anC
found only worm-wood and gall
Billy. it is true amt it that all is van
ity and vexation of spirit.

LAST week THE News expressed the
belief that Gov Wiley, in western
parlance, would soon take tumble
to himself. 1t thought it saw signs
for that belief, and this week it has
seen others to encourage it. The
Governor is not altogether the bad
man some of his own party papers
have painted him with their crayons
Of charcoal. His heart has always
been in the right place, but it is soft
to the touch, and it has allowed de
signing persons to touch ii too often.
He has opened his ear too wide to
evil advisers. He has heard too much
and said "yes" too often. From this
time forward we believe his utterances
will be the utterances of the Govern.
or, and not those OF one dictated TO
his acts will be the acts Of the Gov
error, and not those Of evil advisers
We think we see signs pointing t.
this course, and "the fellows acros.
the way may make up their minds

ONE of the first reports The News
expects to hear from Washington af-
ter the forces are marshalled on the
field, is the reopening of the fight on
Judge Beatty for United States Judge
for Idaho. The close of the 51st
Congress brought about temporary
armistice, but the truce will be over
when the SIND Congress conyenes, and
we look for a renewal of the fight
with all the force and power the par
ties engaged can command But like
the Senatorial-Contest fight. this be-
longs sorely to our republican friends,
and let them fight it to finish to suit
themselves; we democrats have nc
say in it, and we should not force
ourselves in it.

PEELED to demand the survey OF
our country into seciions, thereby
providing for public roads and to
enable our citizens to better locate
their farms aud build permanent
improvements and homes.
5rn That the revenues for the
support Of any government should
bear equally upon those that re-
ceiye its benefits, and realizing the
present mode Of raising revenues
ia the Cherokee nation is unequal
and unjust, that we are in favor Of
d direct tax on property and IN
comes. and Withdrawing all
funds belonging TO tho Cherokee
nation, paying it out per capita,
save and except an amply suiii-
cient fund for educational purposes
and for the support OF our orphans
and their education.
9Th. That we demand that the
United States government shall
establish a uniform system and
price for the travel and transport
tation of passengers and freight on
an railroads in the United States
and especially in the Indian Terri
tory.
7rH. That we are satisfied that
tits practically impossible for us to
successfully cultivate our lands
without skilled labor, therefore
we favor just and equitable laws in
reference to the PERMITTED citizens
Of this nation.
STu Good government being
essential to the safety and hap
piness Of all its inhabitants, andas
such cannot be expected ifignorant,
selfish and incompetent men arc

EDITOR CHIEFTA1N:-I have been
closely observing the senti-
ments OF the people expressed in
your very interesting paper in re-
gard TO the allotment of our lands
and have not as yet seen an idea
suggested as to the manner in
which it should be done. That is,
what disposition shall be made of
the improvements that are now
held by individuals. Allotment
would place many of our best
farms in an i'll shape TO be taken
by the present owners and there
are many holding more land than
would be their pro rata share. l
would like to hear some OF our
law makers express themselves on
this subject. | am in favor Of
allotme ent, and further. | think 1t
would be just and right TO allow
each individual the preference Of
their improvements, so far as 1t
did not exceed their pro rata share.
| would also give them a limited
time to dispose of the remainder
TO other citizens who might want
to take it az their portion, not al
lowing less than one hundred and
sixty acres To be taken in "a place
II they did not dispose Of the bal
ance in the specified time IT

I would like 10 hear from others.

prevailed in these selections, but

be expected. Honesty and ability

lnasmuch as the legality OF The
organization of the new state alli-
ance that was attempted at Table
quah is being argued with a good
deal of persistency, 4 few words in
defence of the course this paper
has taken in the matter may not
be out Of place at this time The
delegates from Cooweescoowee dis
trict claim that they acted ~ good
faith and did no more than they
were directed to do, and taking "
most charitable view of the matter
thcir report was accepted, but az
the same time every one that was
at all acquainted with the facts in
the case knew that the work was
illegal. Cooweescoowee district
had no more right to send dele
gates to Tahlequah and organize
new state alliance without first
getting permission from the Terri
torial body than she had to send
delegates to Texas and organize q
new state alliance in that common
wealth Again, the decision Of
President Nuttall was had in the
matter long before the Tahlequah
meeting informing US that he held
charter over all this territory and
that only one charter could be had
covering the same territory State
ments Of the same kind were also
received from President Polk Of
the national body Consequently
Cooweescoowee county could not
have delegated any such authority
to her delegates because she had
no such authority. 1t would be
Just as reasonable TO suppose that
Ia sub.union could dictate 70 o
county as to suppose that a county
could dictate to a state.
Then again: If this new state
organization is all right why
do not It's officers and advocates
stay with ii? Instead OF that they
are coming back into the old or
CARNATIONS, the president ol
| the new organization himself be-
ing delegate to the Claremore
meeting. / also see the Going
Snake district union threatens 10
90 back into the Arkansas state
union which is virtually admitting
that the new organization Is no
good, and this is the position TIE
/ CHIEFrAIN has taken in the mat
ter all along. AS TO anything that
its correspondents may have SAID
as to who composed that conven-
tion at Tahlequah, whether they
were demagogues or not, the facts
in the case may be asccrtained.
But be that rs it may, the facts Ia
the case are, the whole thing was
premature and ill-advlsed and
could net stand and has not stood
and to insist upon its being legal
in the face of polk's and Nutalts
decisions in the matter is nothing
less than insubordination. In ou
opinion the County union SHOULD
have settled this matter once for al
at Clarem re, but as it did nol lt'
us urge that all differences be luiC
aside, at least for the present, and
that harmony prevail and tho
whole order come together like q
thunder cloud in August and
wrench this government from th'
hands Of the spectators that nov
control it,
Let us remember lhat our mottt
is, "In things essential, Unity
in all things Charity . Let u.
prove to the world as Kansas did
that our noble order is capable o
doing great good Let us prove Y
those who would like to see us &,
to pieces that we cannot wil. not
