WHY THEY OPPOSE IT.

A prominent cattleman Of this
town said Oh the street in a con-
versation a few days ago that if
this country was allotted
not one man in ten would be able
to buy the improvements that
would be on the land that he might
select. This lets the cat out )"
this is the idea of justice the cattle
barons have. If the land was al
lotted there would be no buying TO
do. II one mans fence surround
ed another's land he would not
be forced to buy it d; of course the
owner OF the fence could move it
if he saw proper. No, the idea is
Just this: il is the grass they are
contending for and hope of hold
ing all they occupy. II this sys-
tenn of monopoly goes on another
four years a poor man cannot find
room Oh the public domain TO build
cabin. The question is some
times asked, why don't everybody
90 out and make farms? We tel
you they are not able and for tina
reason they are forced to let the fav
ored ones occupy that which is just
| ly theirs. But few Of our wealth
| lest men are in favor of a division
which speaks well for their sens
of justice and right. They hay'
too much regard for right to op
pose movement that would give
to the poor that which justly be
longs TO them.

are powerless TO do anything ipr
themselves such treatment is very
wrong.
The Cherokees know that every

Mr. Mayes says. "'ro prevent the
spread of disease among aatice
cattle the introduction Of foreign
cattle should be restricted to the
,ointer months" The chief seems
to have undergone a very great
change of heart in regard to the in
PRODUCTION of foreign cattle. He
is now Of the opinion that Texas
cattle will not disease native cattle,
and has affixed his signature to a
bill extending the time far into tho
spring. When Chief Mayes deliv-
cred the message above referred to
he was on the side Of the people,
and a majority Of the people, with
out regard to party, were pleased
with the actions of Joel b. Mayes.
But he has fallen from grace, the
funds are no longer sufficient to
run the government, and Texas
cattle no longer breed contagious
disease.

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

1t is to be regretted that our
public men and officials cannot
agree as to the best means of
conducting the affairs of this gov
eminent. We noticed recently a
letter OF Treasurer Ross in which
he asks the chief to cooperate with
him in trying to collect the tax OIL
the cattle on the strip. Instead Of
cooperating with Ross, Chief
Mayes takes the matter into his
own hands and sends Lee Crutch'
field to the strip With no vestige
of authority, to collect the tax,
The result will be a conflict be-
tween the chief and treasurer il
point of authority, and the cattle
90 free Of tax as is probably the
understanding between Mayes anc
the cattlemen. When the fencing
was being removed from the strip
Mr.. Mayes claimed that he was en-
tirely powerless to do anythinl
whatever, as his authority did no
extend over the strip. The upper
most idea now with the cattlemel
is how to get Mayes elected again
In our opinion the people OF thi
nation know nothing Of the evil
OF monopoly as compared to wha
they would experience were tn
Mayes party continued another fou
years in office. As the strip wi
surely pass from our hands soor

The contest for the nomination
for clerk at tho National conven.
ton Of Cooweescoowe district
was a hot one and ended with
much dissatisfaction. The con-
vention had been going on in the
absence of several delegates, and
nominations had been declared
until it came to the clerk and
when the vote was taken Mr..
Teece Chambers had a majority
of one over Hardin Trott. Cham
bers' nomination was not declared
and "log-rolling" at once began; a
break-up-in-a.row was imminent.
At length the confusion subsidized
sufficiently TO take another vote and
Mr.. Trott received a majority and
was at once declared the nominee
Mr.. Chambers friends quietly sub
mltted, but will fight Trott to a
finish at the polls.

WHO WAS CHIEF .

-Four years ago when Joel B.
Mayes was running for chief he
promised the people all over
this country that if they would
elect him he would be chief. Has
he always been chief ? Mr.. w.
Z. Halsell stated publicly at Chel-
sea last Monday that he twas the
man that passed the COW law that
had been talked of so much and
that he told Joel Mayes that if he
did not sign it he would pass it
over his head, and he signed it,"
Fellow citizens honor bright !
who was chief on that occasion ?
Aye, let us go further-who was
chief, and council and senate on
that sad and long-to be-remem ber-
ed occasion =? With shame-f faced
ness and humiliation beyond all
power Of pen to describe we are
bound to say that Mr.. Hal
sell was both CHIEF aud council
that day.

AWICKED PRAorIon.

The homage which the people
pay to the memory Of men after
they are dead is in proportion to
their honesty and integrity while
living. This fact ought to impress
upon young men especially the
priceless value of an upright and
blameless life. True patriotism
and unselfsh devotion TO truth
never did nor never will fail of its
just reward. Though the recon.
pense sometimes never comes un-
til after death, it is none the less
eloquent for that reason, because
it teaches a lesson to the living.
Men OF very meager abilities
have risen to prominence
through honesty and integrity,
while bright, talented young men
have sunk into oblivion because
nobody had any confidence
in them. But for older men and
those who have had experience to
set traps and pitfalls for the un-
wary young men Of our country
deserves the contempt Of all lib-
erty-loving people. The point we
wish to make is just this The
custom of corrupting and buying
the influence of struggling young
men who happen to be poor
is too prevalent in this country.
The thing should be swept from
the politics Of the country and its
perpetrators relegated to the rear.

Tho outlook for the Farmers
Alliance in Cooweesooowe district
was never brighter then at this
present time. Harmony prevails,
and the coming meeting at Chelsea
on the 9th inst. promises to be the
greatest meeting in the history Of
the order in this country. 1t is
earnestly hoped that every sub
union in the district will have a
full representation. and especially
those west of the Verdigris river,
as a closer relationship is very de-
sirable at this present time, in view
of the fact that tho Alliance is tax
ing part in the great political
struggle that is shaking tins coun.
try from center TO circumference.

there was means 10 maintain every
department Of the government. In

that every department Of this gov

less censure upon that class OF citi-

to expect them to take the initia

10. Lastly and in, conclusion, in
view of the enormous extravaganza
