we are at th o mercy Of the monop.
olist; never before was there such
a premium on wealth. / know one
man who owns twenty-five farms,
nearly all of thom made by and in
the hands ofnon-citizens as leasers,
who are Promised the exclusive
use of them for from five to ten
years. Now / do not think that
this should be allowed as it ex-
cludcs citizens from settling on the
public domain. / believe every
one should be restricted to their
pro rata share of land and grass.
| DO not condemn the COW men by
any means; it is our laws that are
wrong. The cattlemen that / know
are good citizens; they are only
taking advantage of our stupidity
in holding our lands in common.
They have a right to Craze our
prairies to the ground and there is
no limit to their privileges. 1t is
the law we ought to remedy and not
spend our time fussing at the COW
men. If we would individualize
our land title they would pay us
for our grass without a word. We
can not expect our grass to go up
in smoke every fall; we must
either plow it up and cultivate the
ground or allow it to be grazed by
the much talked of Texas long
horn, FOR we are living in an age Of
progress and enterprise and we
must keep up with the tide of
human progress. We are trying
TO hold lands in common when the
history of the world abounds in
proof that it has always been a
failure. The principal cause of
disruption among the early colo
nists of New England was holding
land and other property in COM
mon, and to-day not one single
state in the great union OF states is
holding lands in common. They
know that they cannot successfully
DO it. There is something in the
human makeup that Graves a
home that they can call their own;
one over which no one else has
any authority and one that they
can vouchsafe to their pos terity;
one over which no council has
power to negotiate or legislate.
Then gives us our homes; let
every family have a home, not to
be held in common, but our own
private, indefeasable property.
Home, that word around which
clusters SO many tender memories.
That ship of state. That bulwark
of freedom. No nation can survive
without homes; then let us have
them in our own individual names.

That the election is overis no
reason that the allotment question
should be allowed to subside. On
tho contrary it will be agitated
with renewed vigor and discussed
at greater length than before.
Several men have been elected to
the council and senate on that issue
and will no doubt make a move in
that direction at the next meeting
of our legislative body. Every one
who favors allotment should not
hesitate to speak out and present
the matter to the people in its
most favorable light. Allotment
is the one thing needful and it is
only a matter of time when it will
be accomplished. 1t is expedient
that we view the matter from every
conceivable point and ultimately
arrive at the best method Of pro-
cedure. In the heat of a political
campaign is no time to discuss
questions, hence we have not
given this subject the prominence
of late that we hope to in the
future. We propose to present the
matter in conservative and dis
passionate manner, but continually
and persistently until it is brought
about

This, we believe to be the law,
the justice and soundness Of which
cannot be successfully questioned.
In the two cases before us IL was
only necessary for the engineer of
the train to use ordinary or reason
able care to prevent injury TO the
animals after they were discovered
by him; if he did SO use ordinary
and reasonable care how easy it
would have been for the defendant
to show il upon trial. The knowl-
edge of the facts is exclusively in
possession of the defendant. II
does not see fit to disclose them,
although it IS highly probable that
such disclosure would defeat tn e
actions, particularly in the case of
Briggs. 1t would have been much
more satisfactory to the court to
have heard the evidence on both
ksides so that a decision could be
made upon the real merits Of the
cases as disclosed by that evidence.
The absence of this necessary evil
ience compels a finding upon the
presumptions of law as herein
indicated.
In a country so largely devoted
to stock raising and where its de-
struction by railroads has assumed
an alarming magnitude, it is only
a matter Of justice to the owners OF
stock, who are thus subjected to
great and constant losses, that the
railroad companies should be re-
quired to divulge the facts sur
rounding the cases Of injury, facts
almost exclusively in their posses
sion, and thus remove by compe-
tent and satisfactory evidence the
charge of negligence, or pay the
damages sustained.
In the cases before us the court
finds for the plaintiffs, upon the
presumptions Of law, fully aware
/ that all the facts have not been dis
closed, and that Oh a subsequent
trial the presumptions Of negli-
eence may be removed by testi.
mony at this trial omitted.

We desire TO impress uponthe
minds Of our readers the one in
dieputable fact that the lands OF
this country should be allotted in
severalty among her citizens and
10 the future asin the past we will
give the allotment question pre-
codence over all others People
all over this nation are more and
more in favor Of allotment. Those
who stop aud think over the mat
tez earnestly, invariably come to
the conclusion that we will have
70 allol for self protection. The
Intruder and the m0nopolist can
not be coped with in any other
manner. The rights Of all cannot
Be protected in any other way.

CITIZENSHIP ASSOCIATION.
Resolutions Adopted at Wag.
oner, July 31st, 1901.

Whereas, The settlement OF the
intruder question, the sale of the
Western outlet, and the allotment
of lands in severalty in the Chero-
kee Nation proper, are the great
and leading questions now at issue
among the Cherokee people of all
classes, shades and distinctions,
Therefore be il
RsSolVed, BY this Association.
composed Of large and respectable
number of resident Cherokee peo-
pie by blood as well as by mar
riage, that we as claimants to
Cherokee rights, though wrong
fully and unjustly delied the
same by our brethern, are more
than anxious that the question of
intrudership now existing in said
nation, shall be speedily, perma.
nently and amicably settled
forever,
Resolved, That in order to settle
said question satisfactorily we do
memorialize and petition the next
congress OF the United States to
enact a law to appoint a special
commission for that purpose. or to
confer upon the United States
court for the Indian Territory ex-
elusive jurisdiction to hear and
determine all questions of Chero-
kee citizenship, with the right OF
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Resolved, That we do not reeog.
nize that the Cherokee nation has
such an original right Of sover-
eighty over that nation and the
Cherokee people, as TO vest in that
nation the exclusive jurisdiction
over all questions involving the
right to the lands and money be-
longing to the whole Cherokee peo-
pie, but that all the Cherokees are
the wards Of the United States,
and as the guardian Of the who'll
Cherokee people, the United
States alone can settle those dis
puted rights, and there are no
treaty slipulations authorizing one
set Of Cherokees to deprive an
other of their just rights.
Ros0lped, That as portion OF
the Cherokee people we are in
favor of a sale Of the western out
let TO the United States at s1.25
per acre, the price offered, and
upon the terms and conditions
proposed.
Resolged, That we favor the al
lotment in severalty Of the lands OF
the home tract, per capita, and
that each and every Cherokee
shall have the right TO become q
full citizen Of the United States,
with all the rights, privileges and
immunities Of any other citizen
thereof

WHILE it was undoubtedly op-
position to the COW law that low
cred Chief Mayes' majority in
Cooweescoowee district and gave
Mr.. Benge a majority in Delaware
and Saline, it was an opposite
view Of the same measure in
the lower districts that secured
Mayes' election. The people in
the other districts do not suffer
from being over-run with Texas
cattle, consequently they do not
oppose the COW law. This is the
most plausible explanation Of why
Mayes was elected.

DELAWARE district is not so
large as Cooweescoowee but the
probability is that its farm pro-
ducts would far exceed those Of
the latter. Delaware is the banner
district OF the Cherokee nation in
more ways than one.

Her Disappointment.

A lady who was a great admirer of
Horace Greeley went one evening to
lecture. She had never seen her hero
but was constant reader Of his
paper, and had her own ideas as to
how he would look and act.
The chairman of the meeting de-
sired to air his Latin, and introduced
the speaker in the following rather
vague and indefinite manner:
s'Ladies and gentlemen. you came
very near being disappointed this eve.
ming, as MT. Greeley has been very
ill, and 1 trust that a slight change of
programme will be excused on this
account.
GAS I know that you are anxious
for the lecture to begin, l will only
detain you to say that have the
pleasure and honor of introducing to
you the facile princeps of journalism.
The lady waited to hear no more
but went home in disgust.
"Well my dear" asked the hus.
band, who was taking care of the
baby during his wife's absence, chow
did you like the lecture?'

reply. "Greeley was sick, and they

A TRUE GHOST STORY.
What the Phantom of Beech Hill
Proved TO De After an Investi-
RaIiOn.

What the Phantom OF Beech Hill
Proved TO De After an Investi-
gaIiOn.
About a mile beyond the Beech
hill stood Squire Mcdonald's store,
and one dreary night in late autumn
there came thither first Rory O'More,
and then Sandy Big John, and final
ly Alec Gillies, all in high state of
excitement, and asserting with much
positiveness that they had seen the
ghost on Beech hill. Now the squire
was as shrewd, hard headed and un-
superstitious Scotchman IS ever
traded tea for butter or sugar for eggs,
and he had no faith in the Beech hill
gnost than in the man in the
moon.
But this time the testimony of the
terrified witnesses happened to agree
remarkably. The ghost had appeared
to all in precisely the same form,
namely, as a white shapeless thing
that rolled along the ground, utter
ing shrill ind thresIuing shrieks.
The matter was surely worth looking
into.
"Hark ye, now" said the squire at
last, II believe you're nothing better
than q parcel of foolish boys; and to
prove it, I'll go up to the Beech hill
myself and see what 1t is that has
come so nigh soaring the life out of
you"
Thus speaking he got his coat and
hat. and calling upon them to follow,
set off for the scene of the ghosts
walk. Rory and Sandy and Alec
would much rather have been excus.
ed, but pride overcame their timidity,
and they followed in their leaders
track. Hardly had they reached the
foot of the hill than the shrieks they
had heard before came to their ears.
"There it is agaiuW exclaimed Rory
with trembling lips. Can ye not
hear it, squire?"
ITO be sure I can, responded the
squire stoutly,n and I'm going to see
what it is. Come along.
The distance between the doughty
squire and his followers increased as
he went on, while the shrieks grew
stronger with each forward step.
When about the middle of the
ascent he saw the ghost. 1t was as
the men had reported, white shape
less thing rolling upon the ground,
and from it undou btedlv came the
piercing cries which had proved so
alarming.
Going straight up to the thing the
squire touched it with his foot, then
bent down to feel it with his hand,
and then burst out into roar of
laughter that at first Startled the
three farmers alm0st as much as the
ghosts shrieks.
"Come here, you fools!" he shouted
"Come here and see what your ghost
is."
In hesitating way they drew near
and examined the cause of their
alright. 1t was a white meal bag
containing two very lively young pigs
which had in some way fallen OF a
farmers wagon into the middle of the
road, there to prove source of terror
to the superstitious and perhaps not
altogether sober passers by. Mac
