DIDN'T the Telephone tell you
that Milford and his Chieftain
would not do to tie to, Mr.. Farm
ers Alliance? But it took expert
ence for you to find it out. From
various "whereases" and "resolu-
tions," you seem to have discov-
cred your error Of misplaced con-
fidence. Telephone.
The adoption of those resolu-
tions is little credit to Ivey of the
Telephone or his outfit and since
he has brought the subject up per-
haps a few words in reply will be
acceptable. A person who had a
prominent connection with those
"whereases" and resolves" ex-
plains his action by saying he
was led TO believe that Hoolie
Bell owned controlling interest
in The CHIEFTAIN as he does "the
Telephone, an excuse which he
presumably, thought sufficient
Who led him to this belief? Not
THECHrEFrAIN nor the course ithas
pursued. Nor is it fair to presume
that Mr.. Bell led him to this be-
lief. But Ivey, he of unsavory
record, having no reputation al
stake. would stoop to any decep-
ton and doubtless he it was who
led the man to believe Hoolie Bel
was interested in THE CHEFTAIN
He is not.

When anyone is in a position Of
honor and profit aud has ill-gotten
gains, and is determined if possi-
t. keep them, they will resort to
deception and confusion. That is
about the course the late council
pursued. They passed the COW
law and mineral law. cleaned the
treasury and then to prevent the
people from seeing their true char
acter they stopped the high school,
passed a cut-throat tax law on the
non citizens, thinking the bona
fide citizens would believe they had
done the righteous duty in thus
grinding down the whites. But
they have not succeeded; they are
like the quail that hutters along
until its brood escspes. They be-
lieved that the people would fret
over these fralds and fail to intel
ligently discuss the COW and min
eral laws. but are mistaken. 4

FALLING INTO LINE.
r. X. Adair Endorses MIR. Trotts
Ideas.

CDLsKA, l. T.. March 9th, 1891.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN, DEAR SIR
| see a letter in your paper from
Mr.. w. l.. Trott on the condition
of our country in which he invites
the opinion of others. Mr.. Trott
handles his subject ably, and
everything he alleges is the "nak-
ed" truth, and too apparent to mis-
lead anyone. | am truly glad
that Mr.. Trott has taken the stand
he has on this question, for it
shows to my mind that there is an
up rising, so to speak, of the
people to the true conditi on Of af-
fairs in our country. | spoke to
Mr.. Trott some months ago in re-
gard to the question of allotment
as a remedy for our troubles. He
seemed to think then that it was
only a move Of politicians to curry
favor in this district, but ! am
glad to see that he has changed
his opinions, for in my opinion |
believe it the only remedy tor our
anomalous condition, and have
advocated ii for some time, hon
estly believing that the time had
arrived for action. The idea SO
much mooted by the so-ealled, or
as they would like to be called, pa
triots, that the fullblood, are not
ready for this change is all bosh.
They are just as ready now as
they will be twenty years from
now and by that time they will
have a mess of potage for an
heritage. At the present rate of
increase, and influx of intruders
and the monopoly of the public
domain, | think five years will be
ample time to allow for the COB
bling of every foot of land that is
worth the trouble, and then as
Mr.. Trott says, if we wait until the
United States does this business
for us she will only allow so acres
per capita for heads of families
and adults, and 40 acres for min
ors; nothing for your wife, or
mother, who has had the same in
terest in the estate that you have.
Whereas, if we have this done our
selves, and now, we will get from
100 to 200 acres for every man,
woman and child. Why, Oh,
why, don't some of our so-calle d
public men come out on this sub
ject. Very Respectfully,
h. X. ADAIR.
p. ST. too am in favor Of sell
ing the strip, but not for s1.25 per
acre unless We could incorporate
other considerations in the trade
of more value to us as a nation
than the mere monetary consider
ations. Am also in favor of with
drawing our invested fund and
running our government by taxa
ton. R. X. A.

Whatever course the farmers Al

that it will not lose its identity as
an organization, separate and apart
from mere partisan politics, and
that when the smoke Of battle

August il will still be intact One
thing is certain, the principles it
is advocating willlive when both
friends and foes Of the order
shall alike "sleop the sleep that

No ONE who spends most Of his
time in town can appreciate the
development going on in this
country. Fences are going up and
fields stretching out in every di-
rection. Not one acre was in culti-
walton five years ago where there
arc fifty now and five years earlier
there was scarcely enough ground
titled to make comparison
with the present. 1t IS not sur
prising that Tahlequah's favorite
correspondents, "Choonastootee"
and his folks, hold up their hands
in holy horror at the width which
the fields are taking up in this
part Of the nation. 1t is calculated
to astonish, as well as crafty, our

COMMITTEES on RESOLUTION

The Alliance Farmer, Of Chip
ley, Fla, seems to think there are
some Jonahs among the Alliance
leaders in that state. The Alli-
ance can be made an instrument to
effect the release Of the toiling far
mers from their present wretehed
condition, If only wise advice is
needed, and political demagogues,
and deadbeats are kept out OF the
order. But this has not been done,
and to-day the sad spectacle is
presented Of the surging, strug-
Cling masses, beating about, blind
ly following the lead of men who
are utterly unworthy to lead a
blind dog. Thus the great good
that the Farmers Alliance move
ment was capable Of securing TO
the poor sons of toll is in danger ot
being fritted away and lost Shall
this be so brethren? Time is
still left you to right your noble
ship by casting out your Jonahs
that endanger the vessels safety
Are you strong enough2 Do you
love the Alliance we'll enough TO
do your duty by il?
The order in the Cherokee ma
ton has a great many Jonahs In
its ranks which came very near
running the good the Alliance has
already accomplished. Then
there are the political horses, that
have labored honestly for the peo-
pie for several years, and are near
ing the grave that for charity sake
need be set free, and be allowed
to choose their own pastures the
remainder of their days They
may be used oeeaslonly to break
some young animal to harnes, bot
there are some that by their ab-
sence from work, would be the
salvation OF the Cherokee nation
