Valley hit the nail on the head
when he said: "When you iniure
my tenants you injure me; to de-
prive them of stock by unjust taxa
ton or by Spanish fever deprives
them of the means Of raising good
crops and they and go down to
poverty together"
Some of the fellows who made
light Of the effort to secure 0news-
paper organ now begin to see the
good of the same and are rustling
around to raise the needful for a
subscription. In this connection
we want to call the attention of
all members TO the necessity of
giving our support to those who
support our interests. Two months
work with the pen would not have
placed our business in the COW law

we wish to continue to reap the

the way of subscription and So

ands; IL is discussed in the homes
and,on the highways; in the streets
and In the stores Of the towns.
Approach a group of men and you
will generally find them discuss
ing Alliance. Even the women
have taken up the refrain and in
stead Of talking about their neigh
bors have begun to talk Alliance
too.
Now what does all This mean ?
Listen, gentle reader, and you
shall know. II means that there
is something wrong; that there is
"screw loose" somewhere; and
it means more than that. 1t means
that this whole political and social
system is going to be overhauled.
The corruption and trickery Of oui
political leaders is going TO be
held up in all its ghastly defor-
nifty. Its shame and monstrosity
are going to be exposed to long
suffering people, and the perpetra-
tors of such shameful measures as
the obnoxious cattle law will be
sent to the rear as traitors to and
betrayers Of their constituency.
And right here l want to lay down
this proposition, broad and strong:
This is a movement that all the
politicians in the "B. l. T." can
not stay, stop nor capture. We
are not afraid of politics nor poll
ticians and think we understand
both. The first thing we need is
some political funerals is high life
aud it is difficult to say which
political party will be drawn on
the heaviest - Downing or Ma
tional.
The strength and volume of this
sentiment must not be judged by
the froth and foam that appears on
the surface (because some Of our
men are swelling up and turning
red in the face and not lifting a
pound). But thoughtful, earnest
mt n, both in and out the order. are
considering this question earnestly
and are about ready to decids-in-
deed have decided, that the old
crowd must go. No use trying the
allotment racket on this time;
you can't catch an old bird with
chaff and the donkey-ears are quite
out OF the lion skin. The sign of
caution has been given and we are
"onto you"

cow LAW RBsoLUTIoNs.

The following preamble and re-
solutions were adopted by Russell
Creek Union, No. 1876, on January
18th, 1891:
Whereas, the national council of
the Cherokees, at their last annual
session, passed law CONTRARY to
the wishes of the people, } whereby
Texas cattle are allowed to be
driven or shipped into the nation
up to the 10th day of April, there
by causing disease of the most
virulent kind to be spread broad
cast among native stock and,
Whereas, it is the boast Of the
cattle men, that this law cost them
less than 1000, therefore be it
Resolved, that this law is not
only dangerous to the interest, of
the poorer classes, but is setting q
very dangerous example to future
legislation - both morally and
financially.
Resolved, that this law is fram-
ed solely for the benefit of outside
parties, mostly non-citizens of the
Cherokee nation.
Resolved, that this law will be
the death blow lin our oyinion) to
farmers who own a few milch cows
for the benefit of their own fami-
lies.
Resolved, that it will cause more
or less feeling if not blood shed,
thereby causing an enormous
amount of criminal business in the
United States courts.
Resolved, that men who would
use money to pass such an act
would also spend it lavishly to
convict an innocent man.
Resolved, that this measure is
detrimental to our citizens who
have been and are at the present
time making struggle to improve
their stock.
Resolved, that this measure is in
the interest of the few monied m en-
in the nation and those outside
who wish to locate their herds
since they have been driven from
the Cherokee strip.
Resolved, that a copy OF these
resolutions be forwarded to the
Department of Interior, The
CHIEFTAIN for publication, and a

To WHOM CoScERNED:-The act
of Congress of October 10, 1888,

sum Of s75, 900, or so much thereof
as may be necessary, to be "by

tributed per capita, first among
such freedmen and their descend
ants as are mentioned in the ninth

and in such amount or amounts as
will equalize the per capita pay
ment made to Cherokees by blood
in accordance with the act of the

In accordance Herewith l am

After careful consideration of

In his letter published last week
Bro. Clingan shows terrible state
of affairs. The most dangerous
perhaps of the abuses of power he
enumerated was the funding of the
National debt in interest bearing
warrants. Without limit as to
amount or stated time of payment,
it opens up field rich in posi-
bilities for the man with money
and will prove great incentive TO
more extravaganza (f it is posi-
ble.) Supposing the Cherokee
nation has to pay the amount Bro.
Clingan shows, 81, 100000, it
would be to the interest of the
members of council to settle with
interest bearing warrants. They
would find plenty of capital ready
to jump at the investment. How
long would it take to absorb the
invested funds and all the lands
belonging to the people? Well
may Bro. Clingan call halt and
appeal to the people.

Whatever were Gus Ivey's teach
ings, the prevailing impression in
Vinita, where he once lived, has
always been that he has never
shown respect for anyone. Even
the most sacred VOWS which man
may assume have been more wan
tonly disregarded by this great
Telephone moralist(?) than by
any one whom this town ever
knew. His character(?) has as
many holes in it as a porous
plaster.

II is not at all difficult to dis
cover Objectionable features in this
bill-they are more numerous than
the sections IL contains-and there
is reason TO fear that this or a
similar measure will be passed.
The present congress will hardly
be a favorable one for the Indian,
be he hostile or civilized, and with
the Cherokee commission on hand
tourgc the matter along, it will be
strange if the strip is not passed
over TO the settler.

The total population of the
Cherokee nation, as given in the
U. S. census, is Sc, 775, comprising
25,375 Indians, 27,176 whites and
4,242 negroes. The Creeks have
a total population of 1912, of
which 6,2Sl are Indians, $3.50
whites and 5,34l negroes. 1t is
believed that the census in this
territory is more deficient than
that of the states, one of the prin-
cipal reasons being the lack of
township or section lines for the
guidance of enumerators.

A WORD 10 THE POLITICIAN.

The organization Of the farmers
movement in this country is in
some respects unique. When. in
all the history of the past, did the
farmer and laborer lead in a move
ment that was and as far
reaching as universal? He has
generally followed = and. at a
great distance in the rear.
This same feeling of unrest is
alike agitating the people in the
states and men from every avoca-
tion Of life are either taking part
in or sanctioning the movement.
Last spring handful of farmers
and mechanics organized a union
at Vinita and they were the laugh
ing stock Of the town. Contrast
that time with tie present and note
the change. To-day the Farmers
Alliance is head and shoulders
above every other Issue in the
Cherokee nation. II has nu-
msrical Airenglh Of many thous,
