A oLANnnsr1Nn Union.

There was a report current on
the street Saturday that parties
who were refused membership at
lodge 1877 had joined the Alliance
at Logan, but members from that
lodge denied such rumor and il is
probable the report is without
foundation. Outsiders claim a
lodge has been started to take in
parties not eligible under the con.
stitution to membership, If an
organization has been eurrepti-
tiously started to take in such per-
sons there should be immediate
action taken, for when the rights
Of the order are trifled with il de-

TO call an extra session of council
to repeal the COW law, assign the
following reasons therefor:
We have all suffered more or

We feel that we will be robbed
Of our range by class of men who
are smuggling cattle in our country,

We feel that we as a people

EDITOR CnIEFrAIN:-The cor
respondenco published on the Al
lance page OF your paper in re-
cent weeks, demonstrates to the
mind OF the writer hereof the
wide differences Of opinion exist
ing among the members Of the or
der in this nation While we
know of no better way of adjusting
these differences than TO have 4
temperate discussion of them in
the columns of TIE CHIEFrAIN,
the organ of the order, we had
hoped that the thing would not
degenerate into a discussion of
party politics. We are utterly
disgusted TO see some of our or
der pretending TO be the grand
muck muck" OF third party
movement, and heralding deelara-
tions Of principles and God knows
how much other "rot' over the
country. The writer Of this arti-
Gle has been a National, 10, these
many years and he don't know OF
but one other more corrupt party
in existence and that is the Down
ing-and may the good Lord de-
liver me from both. Run into
politics and you draw in all the
Objectionable elements in the
country, from the cattle king
clean ON down to the Jumbo
vender," including the profess
sional politician, all of which are
your natural enemies. Reform
must come through education; we
must do the work in our own SUB
unions; be guided less by party
bosses; obliterate the old ma
chimes" " The independent move
ment will then come to the front
and no one will know where it
came from. Show the people that
we are in earnest and they will
soon be tumbling over each other
TO get into our ranks.

IN DEFENCE OF THE Law.
Is This o Compliment to Mr. Bell,
or the Reversed


0oNbkIN IEhlNiEt ENl- D Aort.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I See a great deal
in your valuable paper concerning
the late COW law. 1 will not at
tempt to yindicate the council or
the chief, nor enter into a discus
sion of the merits or demerits Of
the law. / am glad to say the
people of this section will not be
gulled into opposing it. They
have seen enough to know that 1t
will be an advantage to the poorer
class of people who have not. a
hoof Of stock TO eat their poriion.0f
the grass growing on the public
domain. The law, If properly ad-
ministered, will bring in a sufli-
cient revenue 10 run our schools,
whereas our high schools now
stand suspended. Now do these
men that are petitioning the prin-
cipal chief to call an extra session
Of council 10 repeal this law pro-
pose 10 keep our high schools sus-
pended for the lack Of funds 20 run
Them / suppose these people all
know that our annuities are not
sufficient to defray the expenses
Of our government. IL is an evil
dent fact we will have 70 recu-
pcrate cur funds from some source.

COW law and viii have IL repealed,

the majority, are in favor Of collect
ing a revenue from those who get
more than their share Of the pub
lie grass. How many thousand
dollars has the Cherokee nation
lost by not having such a law as
this one ? The only complaint ]
hear in this section is that the tax
levied is not enough. Mr. Bell
introduced the COW bill and that is
about the only thing he did TO re-
deem himself with the people east
OF Grand river, where the poor
people live. Yours,
SUBSCRIBER.

THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY.


The policy of the government
now seems to be to impress the
Chcrokees with the belief that
they have no right to the strip-a
difficult task. Ex- Chief Bushy-
head and j. w. Jordon have been
operating a stone quarry south Of
Arkansas City. Recently the sec
retary ordered their removal as in
truders aud surmising that he
might be laboring under a misap-
prehension rs to their nationality
they informed him upan that
point. In reply dispatch was
sent them last Friday reading
thus: "Thore has been no over
sight, and it is not my intention
% change the order. | have the
opinion Of the law officer Of this
department that you have no right
where you are to quarry stone
Whether Cherokees or not, the
order will be enforced. " This nc
tion, following the order for the
removal of the cattle, makes it
evident that all steps possible are
20 be taken to render the strip
valueless to the Cherokees and to
impress them with the govern
ments right and power in the
premises. Simultaneous, nearly,
with this last act, comes word that
a committee of senators will be out
in very short time 20 try their
skill at concluding an agreement
for the cession of the strip and
there are a great many reasons to
anticipate that they will be sue
cessful. The failure Of last De-
cember was a disappointment to
many of the people aud there is a
general feeling that half a loaf is
better than no bread"

a FEW WORDS FROM WAC
ONER.

ON Ell.
Mr.. EDITOR: is through the
medium of pen, ink and paper
that we have the pleasure of I'M
parting to you our ideas and views,
and it is by ink, paper and ma
chinery that you Likewise have
the privilege of transferring and
imparting our ideas to your many
readers of THE INDIAN CHIEFTAIN.
1t seems that in this early day
Of the history of America, that a
laboring man, such as a farmer,
stockraiser, etc, would not have
to resort to a combination ofthem-
selves and thereby force the mer-
chant to sell his wares at a rea-
sonable and living price. At this
present day laboring man does
not have to take telescope to see
how far OF the grim monster Of
starvation is from his door God
forbid, but it is true) but he can
see it with the naked eye.
We have a union with fifty.two
members enrolled. Although we
were not represented at the con-
vention, it was not because we did
not want to be, but, L am almost
ashamed to state the reason) it
was because none of our members
were readers of your valuable pa
per. We had our delegates ap-
pointed and were waiting patiently
for Information as to when ii would
meet, but 10, it never came, and
therefore we knew nothing about
il until one Of our members has Of
late subscribed for your paper and
saw that the convention was over
We hope to keep posted hereaf-
ter and always ready to send dele

SENATOR HENDERSON, Of Della
ware, desires it understood that he
was not the party mentioned. who
voted for the COW law without
knowing its provisions" He
favored the law and voted for it,
he says, but was not in favor Of
extending the.time to April 18th.
Continuing, the senator said he
would like TO see the strip sold,
the money divided and the country
run by direct taxation; he stood
ready TO vote for a proposition Of
that kind at any time and believed
that if the people furnished the
money out of their pockets they
would take more interest in seeing
that it was not squandercd.
