few remarks. There has been q
good deal said about the COW law.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The tide of political affairs gives
evidence of setting in the right di-
rection in time to carry eonsterna-
ton and defeat TO Mayes and his
hirelings. The Independent boom
will reach happy fruition. The
defeat of Mayes and his gang of
monopolists means more than at
first appears on the surface. 1t
means breaking up of a system
of organized monopoly of our graz
ing privileges that threaten to
destroy us as a nation from the
face of the earth. 1t means the
breaking up of monopoly Of lands
that threatens to leave the widows
and orphans and the poverty
stricken of this country homeless.
1t means the breaking up of rings
of boodlers that have lived off the
public tit for several generations
and which now threatens to sink us
N the whirlpool of national bank
rupcy and insolvency. 1t means
the breaking up of the most waste
full, extravagant and corrupt ad-
ministration the Cherokee people
ever had. And finally it means
broader, higher, nobler civilization
equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. The poorest
member of this commonwealth will
have as much right as the wealth
lest. The rights of the babe in its
mothers arms will be as safe as
that of the astute politician. Then
let us put our shoulders to the
wheel. Let all help roll back the
tide that threatens to engulf us in
ruin and dispair Let us remem-
Der that this is the last grsat de-
cisive battle for the birth rights of
our wives and little ones as well
as the rights and liberties of our
selves. Let us remember that on
this struggle depends the perpetu-
alton Of this government as a ma
tion of free people. Let us not
forget that VIC must make one long
strong earnest united pull for the
triumph Of the right, and victory
will surely perch upon our banner
and give to history another exam
pie of right triumphing over might.
All the different monopolies that
have been depressing our people
for ages have allied themselves
against us. That most seductive
and dangerous of all powers, the
money power, is against us and
must be overcome or we 60 down
never TO rise again.

however false or slanderous, in
order TO meet the arguments Of an
opponent, otherwise unanswerablc.
Such conduct exposes the narrow
groyeling mind, and shows the
possessor TO be more OF scaven-
ger than a human. False accusa-
tions affect only those who love to
roll scandal under their tongue as
a sweet morsel, and only make
broader the dividing line between
the refined and the vulgar. Men
take their place in the world not
Of their own choosing, but accord
ing to their worth to the society in
which they move. The world
measures a man by what he is able
to accomplish, not by what he
would like to accomplish. AS
water seeks its level, so men take
their places in the world. 1t is
said that truth crushed to the
earth will rise again" we believe
this. but have seen it rise terribly
mangled sometimes. History is
full to overflowing with examples
where right and might do not go
hand in hand. But there is not
one single instance where truth
did not eventually come to the top
the great final arbiter between men
and between nations. Patrick
Henry, in his famous speech before
the Virginia convention. said,
"their is a just God who presides
over the destines ofnations. That
was true then and it is just as true
now. The index finger Of chris
tianity is still pointing heaven
ward, and the God that presided
over the destiny OF the eolomsts
is guiding the bark OF the Chero-
KEGS through the dark billows of
strife and corruption, and although
the way may seem tangled and
dark, and beset with great dangers,
we believe ere long the clouds
will break away. That the night
is far spent, and that the day is at
hand. Already the shimmering
light Of the gray dawn can be seen,
and darkness will give way to the
morning light Of a new era. The
clouds and mists of ignorance and
superstition must give way before
the sunlight of a glorious civiliza-
ton. But God helps those who
help themselves, and in the great
emergency where the rights and
liberties of all are involved, every
man should throw himselfinto the
breach and help stay the tide that
threatens to engulfus all

tenure is the most just the world
has ever saw. II is almost identi-
cal with that given by God himself
to the Isrealiies, then do we say
our judgment is superior to Gods.
AS TO our population increasing to
such an extent that there will be
no homes left. Great Britain, with
as large a population as any coun-
try on the globe has not near the
area of our country, then Rhode
Island with a population of about
400, 600, and area of Ss1 IL square
miles, less than the entire Chero-
kee nation. We have popula-
ton Of about 10000, ten years ago
il was about 25, 900, an increase of
5OOOln ten years. Then if we do not
increase any faster than that, which
there is no reasonable grounds to
suppose we will, then it will at II
present rate of 1000 year, take
us at least fifteen years to equal
the smallest state in the Union in
population. ~

THE SITUATION IN A NUT
SHELL.

A very prominent gentleman, a
man well posted in the affairs Of
this government, said in Vinita a
few days ago. "There was a time
when Chief Mayes was with the
people and against the cattle ring,
and all the money they had could
not have changed him. But it has
all been reversed. The cattle men
have Mayes in their own hands
and "you stick to me and III stick
to you" is a realty. II the people
Of this nation allow Joel Mayes to
become chief again, they don't
see two inches in front of their
noses. IL is the plainest case |

AFTER the election, one of the
main questions that will agitate
the minds of the Cherokee people
will be what disposition to make

do not believe) then to get the
best price possible should be the

this is one thing on which we can

ALLIANCE PRINCIPLES,
AS Promulgated by Cooweescoo-
wee County Union.

The following declaration Of
principles was adopted by the
Cherokee citizens belonging to the
Farmers Alliance & Industrial I'm
ion Of Cooweescoowee district
at the county union, held at
Claremore. | r., April 18th, 1891:
Whereas, Tho general condition
of our country imperatyely
demands unity of action on the
part of the laboring classes and
the dissemination of principles
best calculated to encourage and foS-
ter agricultural and mechanical
pursuits in order that they may
derive Just remuneration for
their labor and to secure to the
laboring and agricultural classes
the greatest amount of good, hold
to the principle that all monopo-
lies are dangerous to the best in
terests of the country and il iosa
cred will eventually enslave
free people and subVert and finally
overthrow the great principles
bought and paid for by the blood
and treasure of our forcfathers,
we therefore adopt the following as
our declaration of principles;
1sT. That, believing in the doc
trine of equal rights to all and es-
pecial privileges to none, we de-
mand that the legislation of the
Cherokee nation shall be so framed
in the future as not to build up one
industry at the expense and injury
Of others, and we are opposed to
the monopoly Of land, water and
all other gifts of nature.
2ND. That we believe that the
money Of the country should be re-
tanned in the hands of its peole;
therefore we demand that all
national revenues shall be limited

THE most senseless campaign lie
that we have yet heard is Doleful
Baugh' s statement that he kicked
rs out Of his saloon eight years ago
in Ninita; we plead an alibi in this
case. Doleful is getting desperate.
As the election approaches he grad
ually drops out Of the race, tho he
never was much in it, Keep quiet,
Dolelul, and maybe you will get
another job inspecting a colored
high school building, that beats the
saloon business all hollow. .
Was it s, 200 you got for six days
work, then you were clerk of two
committees besides. All there !

ONCE MORE TO THE BREACH.

When in the course Of a political
campaign men get so lost to a sense
Of justice and of honor as to attack
the private character of the inno-
cent, and to wrongfully accuse and
slander by false accusation and low
insinuatons the names Of those
with whom they are contending
for supremacy, it is time to cali a
halt and see where they are drift

WITH the way some of Mayes'
old party friends have went back
on him within the last week, we
cannot help demonstrating The
fact is he il just as good man now
as he was before the people found
out SO much about him. They
knew it all the time though.

THOSE pull-back politicians who
oppose allotment and tell the full

to despoil and rob them of their
lands, forget to tell their people
another thing, and that is; the

than likely to pass a law forcing
allotment and statehood over the

this, but act upon the ignorance
