three Congresses ever investi-
gated the expenditure of any
department. and reported the
result OF their investigation
to the House. In truth, these
committees have rarely ever
held even a single sitting
during any Congress, and the
consequence has been that
nothing has resulted to the
House from their organiza-
ton. III general committee
of fifteen were organized, pos
the same dignity and
enjoying the same powers
and privileges as the commit.
tee on Ways and Means and
the committee ON Appropri.
ations. it cannot be doubted
that such q committee would
he able to furnish the House
with such information and
advice as would lead to a
very great reduction of ex-
penditures and a thorough
reform in the administration
of the public service. What
do the House andy the coun-
try know of the expenditures
under the several laws max
ing indefinite appropria-
tioDs? The expenditures and
methods of administration
under these permanent ap-
preparation acts are practi-
cally unknown to Congress.
What do Congress and the
country known about the in
ternal administration of the
Pension Office, the Patent
Office, and Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue and the severa!
bureaus of the War and Ma
w department.?
Mr.. Savers has another
good idea too that should
not be overlooked. He thinks
the House should elect a per-
manent chairman of the com
mittep of the whole and the
committee of the whole on
the State of the Union. In
speaking OF this he said: "lt
has been a noticeable fact
that these chairmen have
beed appointed by theSpeak'
er, from time to time, at the
instance of the gentlemen
whose bills were to beconsid'
cred, and very often it has
been the case that rulings
of such chairmen have not
only been AT variance, but
have led to the suspicious
that there was an unduelean
ing towards the opinion ex
pressed by the gentlemen il
charge of the particular bill
under consideration when
question of order has beel
raised. This would be obvi
ated by electing one man tt
position, making him indie
pendent OF the Speaker" Mi
Sayers thinks these two chan
ges would result in reducing
the current expenditures a
least,30 per cent.

THE MONUMENTAL WASTE AND EX
TRAVAGANCE.

~@@ eSO @Aes ~&~'
The papers are daily dis
,ussing the great financial a.
ouse and sins of the late rad
cal Congress that was bur-
ed on the 4th with all it's pu |
trifactipn. 1t is regarded as
the surprise Of the age. If all
the republicans had been
from first to last they
could scarcely have made a
greater havoc with the finan-
ces.
Representative Dockery, Of
Missouri, who is a member of
the House Committee ON ap-
propiations, has given the
details Of the expenditures,
and they are indeed calcula-
ted to make men believe that
a republican politician Of this
day is not Irresponsible to any
thing or any body for his
acts-to God, his country his
conscience. The total lexpen-
diture amounts to $1, ,009,2-
70,471 for two years. This
is about 5000, 900 in excess
of the democratic adminstra-
ton that expended $2OO,00-
0,0OO at least too much.
Buchanan required from GA
to 68 million dollars for ev-
erything. Then the country
was half the population it is
now. The expenses OF the
country administered rigid e.
economy would not surely ex-
ceed 5000, 900, 900 or double
that in two years, making
100000, 900. Cleveland's ad
ministra tion expended more
than$SOO, 900. 900 which was
far beyond what a proper e.
economy justified.
But the Radicals have swept
far beyond these figures and
vote away over Il billion for
two years. The surplus re.
naming in the Treasury Ju.
lySlst, 1891, is figured at
4,248,2 ,240; the estimated re-
ceipts for the ensuing yeal
are $446, 1856, ,O32; making 4
total of available resources
$451, ,2O3,272. The appro
pria tions to be expended du
ring that period amount tt
$519,292, 1861; le a y in g i '
sight a deficiency in the treas
ury, July 1, 1892, of $6S,
US9, $50.
Mr.. cleveland, it will be re
membered, left an actual SUI
plus in the Treasury of near
ly $1OO, 0,000. It is gon
and the balance shortshow'
on the other side an approach
ing deficiency fpossibly $6e
100000. One estimates tina
by 1st July, 1892, the actu
al deficit will be $75, 900, ,O0C

THE THIRD PARTY MEETING.

As per announcement a number
of the disaffected members OF both
the Downing and National parties
assembled at Tahlequah last week
to look the ground over and de-
termine the chances for third
ticket. Sam Smith acted as chair
man and Frank Howard as secre-
tary. After a discussion of the
question in its various phases a
committee of seven was appointed
to draft a declaration ofprinciples.
They reported the following and
the same was adopted:
Whereas, 1t is universally
known and lamented by the Chero-
kee people that their national af-
fairs have been going from bad to
worse during the present admins
tration and
Whereas, They realize that the
only remedy possible is to be
found and applied at the polls by
the selection and election of com
petent candidates for the national
offices and
Whereas, The people are as
sured that there is no prospect OF
reliefflom the present disastrous
situation from the nominations of
the existing parties of the nation,
and it is therefore a duty which
the people owe to themselves and
their country to arrest impending
ruin by taking their affairs into
their own hands, therefore, for the
purpose Of providing for the ex-
preston Of the popular will of this
nation and making choice accord
ingly Of their representatives in
office. Therefore be it
Resolved, That without distinc-
tion Of party the citizens Of each
district of this nation are hereby
invited to send delegates to a gen
eral national convention of the
people, in number proportionate
TO the number Of representatives to
the senate and council from each
district. Said general convention
TO be held at Fort Gibson, c. n,
on Tuesday, the 21st day OF April,
1891, for the purpose Of preparing
and adopting a platform of prlnci
pies and measures suitable to ex-
listing national needs and of nomi-
mating candidates for the national
offices. Be it further
Resolved, That the chairman OF
this convention and D. ". Bushy-
head be authorized to act as the
national executive committee OF
this convention and 70 select an
executive committee TO serve for
and within each district TO carry
out the object Of these resolutions

WHAT WE MAY GET.

CuourEAU, |. L Feb 2Sih, lsal
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN;-ln your pa
per Of February 19jh, | see you
quote me as saying that the sena-
torial committee was going to offer
the Cherokees 100000 for the
outlet and that they would fix up
the other provisions we desired.
Your informant was wrong. Here
is what | did say While at
Washington ! had occasion to talk
with several congressman and
among them was Col Peel, Of
Arkansas. He said that he
thought the government ought 70
give the Cherokces at the least
calculation $4,000, ,0o0 for the out
let and at the same time settle the
three things we asked for, viz The
abrogation Of the 18th article Of the
treaty Of 1866, settlement of the
citizenship question and the re.
moval of the intruders ! told him
if the government would do that,
I thought every Cherokee would
vote to sell the land.
Very Truly,
J. l.. BAUGH.

gate present who did not believe
that the condition Of statehood for
the Cherokee nation was an ineyi-
table condition at no distant day
and they also believed that corrupt
legislation would hasten the day
ON unfayorable terms to the citi.

prepared a policy for promulgation
that we think would remedy many
if not all the abuses and that won't
suit you politicians, SO howl while

Regarding that Medical Law
Resolution.

In a lato issue Of THE CHIEFrAIN
! see resolution by an Alliance
member Cat the so-called Alliance
meeting at Tahlequah) which is
hostile to the medical practice act
of last council. The presumption
is that the author is a quack
doctor, for such only have any
grievance with the law, and
such have always and everywhere
opposed reform in the profession.
He claimed that 1t is unconstitu.
tional and that it is "olass legis
lation. With equal reason We
may say that the law addressed to
the thief, "thou shalt not steal " ia
class legislation and unconstiiu-
tional. The same decalogue has
another law - "thou shalt not
kill" which | think Moses meant
for quack doctors; wonder il the
brother thinks that is cOnsiitu-
tional2 The Cherokee council has
originated nothing new but has
only declared the application of
this ancient law Of murder TO a
class of culprits to which | am in
formed the author Of the resolution
belongs. OF course he don't like
