NOT THE SENATORsBIP

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN, SIR:-See-
ing an editorial in THE CHIEFrAIN
some weeks since of suggestion
offered by w. p Henderson, sena.
tor, as to my eligibility to the SEN
atorship from this district, as a
representative of the National
party, etc, | have to say in an
swer that il is entirely unauthor-
lied and / suppose done for the
purpose Of catching votes for the
senator himself. At present, how.
ever, I am politically inclined to
offer as a probable candidate for
the district clerks place and that,
too, upon Downing principles. |
have waited for The platform TO
issue but as yet have seen nothing
in that line. You will please
publish this for the benefit of the
skeptical and that may be placed
right before the people OF those
liable to take for granted any ad-
verse doctrine. Very Resp,
j. L. WARD.

Vinita sub-union passed at its
last regular meeting resolutions
against Sabbath breaking which is
50 prevalent in our town. There
is hardly a Sabbath passes when
men, boys, women and children
are not seen striking out in al
most every direction fishing, or
with gun and dog, hunting. Per-
sons are frequently seen hoeing
their gardens and doing other
work on the Sabbath. This is GER
tainly a violation of the law and
should be stopped.

To see men of remote Indian
descent nursing the prejudices of
fifty years ago, after having had
the advantages of liberal educa-
ton, is too contemplate to be
mentioned and shows either mar
row-mindedness or cussedness.
1t reminds one of the "bloody
shirt" or "Rebel yell" resorted
to by the fllibustering congress-
men to defeat the plans of their
opponents.

IT is no figure of speech to say
a great many people are disap-
pointed in all the political plat
forms that have made their APP
pearance yet. When the third
party came into existence it was
generally supposed that it
would launch out on something
new, butitis the "same old horse. {"
1t is probably slightly in advance
feither Of the others, but evades
the only issue worth mentioning,
viz, allotment. Had the third, or
any other party as to that matter,
came out square and fat-footed in
favor of that measure there would
have been some enthusiasm mani
tested and its chances of success
materially increased.

The present system of holding
our lands in common has had q
thorough test Of more than half a
century and our present condition
proves it to be q failure. Hawked
at as we are from the outside and
tearing ourselves to pieces within,
it is nonsense to talk of remaining

Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1891-05-14

The question OF allotment OF
lands should no longer be kept in
the background but should be dis
cussed thoroughly and from every
standpoint. We are not holding
our lands in common by any
means. A few men are holding
them for US. Under the present
system it is kind of a Survival
of the fittest."

SENATORS and councillors alike
have been telling in Delaware and

"cow law" was passed by unani-

be true or not2

If any one thing is more certain
than another, it is that the pres

torious "cow law" But it is to be
hoped that they viii never have
the opportunity. They should be
permitted to retire with an un-
broken record.

THE United States government,
according to Chief Mayes' state
ment, is willing to pay 80 80 per
acre for the strip lands and put
the intruders out "to boot, " but
would not agree to put the lat
ter out until they have secured the
land. That government evidently
intends to compel us to sell the
strip, which they will probably do.
This is very magnanimous
course for a great government like
the United States to pursue.

1t is rumored that a company
has been formed to manipulate the
strip lands. Tie company is
formed OF what is claimed to be
the influence" Of the Cherokee
nation and a number of prominent
congressman, as well as the lead
ing members Of the old Chero kee
strip live stock association. The
scheme is for the Cherokee citizens
to claim the cattle now on the
strip (about a quarter Of a million
head) and locate sections Of land
wherever a townsitc is expected
to be. Then the government will
be asked 70 let these influential citi-
zens purchase the land they occu-
py when the strip is sold, in the
interest Of this land company at
the government price. As one
citizen should have as much
right as another in this scheme we
advise a boom in that direction
and hope an honest collector viii be
appointed to collect the tax on the
cattle now there, foi the men run
ming the cattle would as soon pay
the collector as to pay our citizens
60 much money. or tribute.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. Especial 1-Senator
Teller felt some depression today that was
SHARED by all the silver senators, who do not see
now they are going to accomplish anything at
this session. vice-President Morton's ruling,
which prolongs debate, will have the effect OF
Keeping the elections bill before the Senate
many days longer, unless recourse is had to ex-
'reme measures about which there is much he's
ifancy. When asked today about speedy silver
legislation, senator Teller said he could not
see his way clear TO shelving the Lodge bill, and
until that was done nothing could be accom-
pilsned IN the way OF providing for free coinage.
Nv hat Will be the result of the Republican
caucus next Monday" was asked.
There viii be no result. II will be found i'm
possible to arrive at any agreement that viii be
binding.
Other silver men in the senate are not enthus-
astlc over the present outlook for speedy action
on The elections and finance bill Thus far FIVE
republicans have agreed to vote against the
eiections bill on direct vote, and there sre
TWO others who would vote for motion
to set it aside and take up finance
This is not enough. republican
senator, who is earnestly opposed to the cleo
tons bill, said today that in time it would pass
the Senate, but it could by no possibility be
passed BY the House in Its amended form. By
the time II got to the House, he said, il would be
TOO late Tor the attendance of quorum to be se-
cured in that body. The bill could never be-
come law.
