MEN AND CRAVENS.

While the late election has not
been entirely satisfactory to all
and as a matter of course it could
not be, there is disposition
among the more intelligent and
reasonable of our citizens to accept
the situation as they find il. With
them the bitterness and asperities
Of the campaign just ended will
soon be a thing Of the past and
good feeling will again resume its
place. But there are those who
have gone to such extremes and
have SO disregarded the rights Of
others that it will have q blotupon
their lives that time viii never
erase. There are some strokes Of
venom and animosity, some eX-
treme partisan bitterness that so
blinds the reason and warps the
better judgment Of those who give
way TO it, that it forever blights
the intimacy Of years and leaves
the heart so scathed and schorched
as to never again put forth bud or
blossom Of friendship. This cam
paign has brought to the frontmen
and cravens. 1t has developed
the manhood of some, while it has
exposed the dcpravity Of others.
1t has afforded an opportunity on
the one hand for the display Of
honor and patriotism, while on the
other hand it has afforded an OPP
portunity for the low and the vulgar
to attack the most sacred rights of
those with whom they are not to
be compared in point of integrity
and social standing. 1t has in this
town exposed to public view the
rottenness and utter depravity of
men who had Always been supposed
to have fair degree Of the finer
feelings that 60 to make up the
true man. We sometimes think
that it takes occasions Of this kind
to really draw the line of demarka-
ton between the man and the
"mouse"-the true gentleman and
the moral leper The divine in
junction is, "prove all things;
hold fast to that which is good. "
This is the way to prove them.
Occasions like the one IN question
show them in their true colors and
now we know them.

WHY NOT SAVE THE OUTLHTq
Now that the election is over
there is one thing TO which we
would like to call the attention of
our readers, regardless Of party,
namely, the lands west Of 96
degrees. There seems TO be dis
position among all classes Of our
citizens to sell the western lands.
Our honest opinion is that this is
bad policy. Why? Because in the
first place we need the lands and
secondly we don't have to sell
them. When we come TO reason
this matter we arrive at one Of two
conclusions; The lands are ours or
they are not ours. The title is
either good or it is not good. II
the title is in the Cherokees it is
plain that it is not in the United
States. it had been they would
have had the land in their possess
sion long ago and negotiations
would be unnecessary The fact
is, the tile is really in the Cherokees
and if proper steps are taken we
believe the strip can be allotted
among our own citizens. We
have no land to sell, We will
need, in the near future, all the
land, both east and west, for actual
settlers. Let US consider well the
possibility Of holding the strip
before consenting to a sale of any
part Of it. There is hardly a doubt
but what the United States govern
ment would allow us to settle the
Strip if the proper steps were
taken. This is a question that
should receive the prompt atten-
ton Of the next council, with no
reference to party lines whatever,
and we invite a thorough discus
sion of this important question
through the columns Of THE CHIEF
TAIN during the interim between
now and the meeting Of council in
November.

LAST week we called the atten-
tion of the farmers of the country
to the dangers of forming a VIII
combine. For the farmers all to
hold their wheat as is being pro-
posed would only lead to the
market being eventually glutted.
Everybody would be wanting 10
sell at the same time and prices
would drop to ruinous figures and
the last condition of the farmer
would be worse than the first. A
blunder of this kind would hurt
the producer much worse than it
would the buyer.

The canning factories of north
west Arkansas, located in the
leading towns and villages, are run
ming to their full capacity this sea
son. They not only give employ
ment to hundreds of hands but
furnish a market for all the fruit
and vegetables the farmers can
raise, corn and tomatoes being two
Of the main vegetable crops for
canning. Why would not an en-
terprise Of that kind be a good in
vestment for Vinita? No finer
vegetables and fruit can be found
any where than are raised in this
vicinity, and ten times as much
more could be produced if only a
market was afforded. Let's have
a canning factory another year, by
al means.

While from the returns at hand
it is only reasonable to conclude
that Mayes is again elected chief
of this nation, it is nevertheless re-
ireshing to know that where THE
CHlEFTAIN circulated largely
Mayes' majorities were either re-
versed or lowered. In Delaware
he polled $50 votes less than his
vote of four years ago, and in Coo
weescoowee his majority was
brought down from Sc to 46 and
the three upper districts give Mr..
Benge majority Of 81, Delaware
and Saline giving Benge 12S major
ity. 1t is universally conceded
that vast amount of money was
used, and Mayes can have the sat
isfaction of knowing that money
and not the choice of the people
did it. But after all a majority of
the men whose cause we espoused
were elected. We have Wash
bourne and Burlington in the SEN
ate and Copeland, Ballard and
Davis in the council, and Hastings,
clerk, and Ward, judge, and we are
really joyful over the returns
from Delaware. The election of
Judge Clark in Cooweescoowee we
consider Of no small importance as
he is a strong man and a warm ad-
voeate of allotment. We do not
try to conceal the fact that we are
disappointed in the defeat of w. L.
Trott and John A. Foreman. New
ertheless we cheerfully submit to
the majority against them. We
feel that we have administered a
just rebuke to Chief Mayes in
giving his opponent a majority in
the upper dirtricts, and last but
not least we have given Benge a
majority in Vinita precinct, Coo
weescoowee district, the great
stronghold of the Mayes party.

A TWO WEEKS, OUTING.
A Few Sights of Interest in the
Cool Northland

Now that the general election

the cool and refreshing regions of
Wisconsin and Minnesota viii be
acceptable. Il was the writer's
good fortune a year ago, at the
Boston meeting Of the National
Editorial Association TO be placed
upon the executive committee Of
that body, and hence given an op-
portunity of being present at the
seventh annual convention held at
St. Paul, July 18th TO 18th. As
nearly everything these days either
begins or ends at Chicago. (even
the worlds fair, which proposes
to do both) it was but natural that
beginning of this convention
should be made at that city.
The journey from the Indian
Territory TO Chicago is the easiest
Of accomplishment in the west,
for a corresponding distance. TAX

nection is made at Hannibal

A LONG stride toward settling the
many vexed questions that are
confronting us as a nation has been

of Joel B. Mayes. These matters

A TEXAS rRANsToRMArIoN
The Rapid Rise and Hard Fall Of
The Cattle Baron.

Special Correspondence Globe Democrat
FoRT Worm, TEX, July d.
The career Of the COW baron was
short but picturesque. Ten years
ago he thought no owned Texas.
He counted his long-horns on a
hundred hills. He held conycn-
tions. Five hundred Of him sat
down to a $1,000 banquet at Dallas.
They drank champagne from big
goblets. Diamonds as big as the
pecans which grow in the Concho
country sparkled on the bosoms of
the baron's wife and daughters.
When he wanted legislation the
baron went down to Austin and got
it. He shouted "free grass and
he called the farmer who moved
in and settled upon the water
courses Of his range ga nester "
His cowboys were his feudal fol-
lowing and knew no other law than
his DEGREES.
One night near the end Of a ses-
sion Of the Legislature the barons
and their friends entered behind
closed doors, 1t had been a period
of satisfactory law-making for the
cattle interests. Everybody who
was present felt good. A governor,
who had once said that Texas did
not want immigration, sat at the
head of the table. Speech after
speech was made. The cattle in
terests were eulogized. 1.-THE nest
er" was ridiculed. Such news
papers as had begun to rebel against
the arrogance Of the barons came
in for hard raps, and finally the
governor, in spirit of fair play,
called on the only newspaper man
present to defend his craft Net
tied by the sarcastic filings to which
he had been listening, the speaker
replied, half angrily.
"Gentlemen," !" said he, "you
may have your sport tonight at
the expense of the despised NEST
er. !" You may think you are strong
enough to defy the press and public
sentiment. But let me tell you
one thing: A man with a hoe has
poked his nose over your wire
fence and is looking at you to day
You'll kill him Of course, ! know
that very we'll Tomorrow there II
be two men with hoes looking over
that same fence. Kill the two, and
tomorrow there'll be four men
with hoes looking at you Kill
them, and tomorrow you'll see
eight men with hoes in the same
place. 1t isn't in the nature Of
things, gentlemen, for an acre Of
land which will raise twenty BUSH
els Of wheat to be given up for all
time to the possession Of the five
dollar COW. Mark what l tell YOU
In ten years the man with a hoe
will have you on "the run
The barons laughed But is was
their last banquet, = They had
never heard Of "the man with the
hoe" till then. Ten years? The
prophet gave himself an unneces-
sarily long limit He might have
cut his time in two. Five years
after the prediction was uttered
the barons reign was over. THE
man with the hoe" was a reality.
II c had a pair Of nippers in his
pocket and walked through the
barons' fences. To-day "the man
with a hoe" is everywhere He is
a Texas proyerb As you get OF
the cars at Fort Worth; his picture,
ten feet high, confronts you. Yet
in 1888 Fort Worth worshiped at
the feet of the baron and grew rich
on the profits of his round-ups,

In 1878 and 1879 cattle roamed
over three -fourths OF Texas. The
ranges stretched from the Gulf to
No Man's Land and from Fort
Worth to FL Paso. Those cattle
were worth IS head when there
was any market at all for them
They were called dogies in east
Texas, sea lions down by the Gulf,
and long horns in the Panhandle.
In 1881 the price had crept up to
$3.50 a head. Then the COW bar
on burst his shell. In 1882 these
same cattle went TO So 80 a head,
and held that for two years.
There were 10,000,0 900 of them.
Money poured in from the North
and East to buy at this advanced
price. Cattle companies were
formed, more than a hundred Of
them. Stock was sold right and
left Blocks of it were taken
with avidity by men who had
never seen Texas and never eX-
pected to see it. To one looking
back upon that wild rush into the
cattle business, it seems as if a
mania must have taken possession
of otherwise level-headed men.
Nobody can tell the amount Of
capital which flowed in from the
North to be invested in cattle.
But it never flowed back. Every
body loaded up, ana then the pri-
ces began to drop, drop. They |
went clear back to the point from |
which they had started, and the /
tenderfoot and his money were (
parted forever.

IMPROVING THE CITY.

EDITOR THE CITIZEN You ask for ad
vices on the proposed appropriation for

the proposition will be opposed by most
property owners-that is they shall be-

pence. This is thought to be attended
with very many objection. First as to
its inequality, property in the business
centre or near it, having frontage of
say % to 2S feet is worth anywhere
from So, 900 to $4,000 dollars. Father

Then il understand it, an incumbcr-
ance, amounting to a deed OF trust IS
placed upon all property for a period of
thirty years allowing the bond to run
that long. This could but conplicatc
and be wonderful obstacle in the way
OF all sales. Again say. a property al

owners who have already been so Sc
