Use for Parties.

Mr.. ID. NJ. MARRs, DEAR SIR
AND FRIEED:-Allow me TO con-
gratulate you 4 the step you have
taken. / must say that it afford
ed me much satisfaction TO see
your name apper as editor of THE
INDIAN CHIEFTAIH and also the
way you and our old friend Thorn
as Howie launch out. While his
plan may not be altogether prac-
ticable, yet you have both started
off in the right direction and if
pursued will certainly meet with
the approval of most of our ciu-
zens. What we need now is men
honest enough TO contend for the
right and willing TO be politically
sacrificed rather than submit TO
wrong or evade any question Of inn
portance that should be before the
people. Any man who can and
does see the wrong that is. being
perpetrated upon the Cherokees
to-day and allows the real issues
that should be brought out 20 give
place TO party fealty is not worthy
to handle a pen or OF the support
Of his neigh oors. The past TWEEN
ty years experience with our par
ty fights without an issue ought to
be enough to convince any unbias-
ed man that there is no good in
them, notwithstanding our people
become so infatuated in them that
their general interest is lost sight
of. Yet, seemingly, some Of our
very best men will point to their
party as the way out OF our de-
moralized condition and try TO
show to you that all governments
are alike as to parties. They fail to
recognize that we are not a govern
ment but only a family Of wards
within a great republican govern
ment, and that there should be no
difference between US, but our in
terest should be the same. Could
we recognize this fact ii would at
once do away with the necessity Of
a campaign fund and the use Of SO
many political she cts throughout
