THE verdict of the people has been
pronounced against a protective tariff,
but let no apprehension be felt that
the business interests of the country
will be imperiled. A reduction of the
tariff within safe lines will conserve

the country.
For the first time in almost a third

1t would be impossible to imagine
human being lower down in the scale
of humanity than the woman who lay
around the streets and depot at this
place several days last week. She was
entirely lost to all sense of shame.
Some good ladies gave her some clothes
and she was finally driven out of town
by threats of cow-hiding. As there
is no chance of reformation for such
characters they ought to be placed in
prison.
Both churches seem to be doing fair

Jealous of each other and spend their
time like the unruly cattle, pulling
against each other, instead of pulling
the load. they may do good work for
Annapolis. There is lots of work here
for them and room for more. While
we don't belong to any church we
earnestly sympathize with any church,
order, or body of men and women hav-

human character.

She lives in Arcadia Vale
And is as rare as rose in May.
To meet. with them. was to love.
And it happened by chance at the
station:
Oh happier far than the cooling dove.
Were these two in their blissful
relation.
But. alas. and alack. one fatal day,
An umbrella she carried;
And like lovers oft when the cats
away
Too long, too long, she tarried.
The whistle shrieked.
The train it started:
Away with rush
And off she darted.
But the umbrella forgotten:
In the coach did stay;
And this lucklcss hap.
Gave the whole tale away,

They're lovers now no longer;
As strangers in future they II meet:
But this story. to the gang.
Oh. dear, what a delightful. deli

oHHRoKHHs VS.. INTRUDnRs.

The Muldrow Registers exulta.
tion over the achievements Of the
the Citizenship association, and its
taunts at the inability of the Cher.
okees to remove the intruders are
in very poor taste, to say the least
of it. The Register knows full
we'll that this country is full Of
bogus claimants and that a great
many Of them belong to the Citi-
zenship association. There are
very few citizens in this country
that are not willing for every one
who can prove their rights 70 have
them; and there are many that
will prove their rights eventually
and be allowed to enjoy them to
the fullest extent. The liberality
of the Cherokees is proyerbial and
they have always shown their gen
erosity in the way they have adj
mitted those Of their own blood,
no matter from whence they came.
The Citizenship association will
have to purge itself OF large part
of its membership before the world
will believe it to be anything but
rank fraud A tree IS always
known by its fruit, and an honest
association that wanted nothing
but the rights Cherokee blood give
them, would never produce so
many fraudulent claimants. The
CHIEFTAIN has no quarrel to pick
with the Register as business
venture, but believes the cause it
espouses to be utterly contempta-
BILE. 1t is to be earnestly hoped
that the intruder question will be
settled fully and finally, soon.
Those who are really entitled to
citizenship should be admitted, but
the miserable horde Of renegades
that infest the country should be
put out and kept out When the
intruders are finally removed from
the country the citizens should
make haste to allot the country for
self protection nothing else will
ever check the influx of land hun
CRY claimants that are surely and
rapidly over-running the country

DOES IT PAY IN THE ENDq

Any legitimate business should
be encouraged in every manner
possible, but that which is not
legitimate should receive discour-
agement and condemnation all
around. For some mouths past
agents have been canvassing this
country for a Chicago grocery house
claiming to sell goods at whole
sale, which are delivered by the
car load as orders to that extent
are obtained. A few extra pounds
Of sugar are sold for dollar as a
bait, and then the sIrarger gets in
his work His strong hold is to
represent to the prospective buyer
that he has been swindled by the
local merchant more in quality
than in price, especially on spices,
teas, cofiees and goods ofthis char
acter. When his man is up to the
right pitch the agent proceeds to
sell coffee, two, three or five dol
lars worth, at 80 cents a pound
which is inferior to straight Ar
buckle sold in this town at 20 cts.
In spices and teas-articles in
which an even greater imposition
is possible-the same scheme is
worked Short weights are the
rule when the goods are delivered
and there is no means Of righting
any wrong, as the bill has been
paid at the bank before delivery
is made at the depot. There is no
butter, eggs or produce exchanged
nothing but cash goes-and when
the countryman gets hard up and
needs a little credit, or when his
community wants some aid in
building a school house or in any
other benevolent enterprise, the
local merchant will be called on.
He may give, but he is not going
to be er-generous nor be partic-
ularly enthusiastic. Does it pay
the farmer to patronize these
flake" stores2 We think not.

THE DELAWARE ALLIANCE.

The Farmers alliance of Della
ware district have probably kept
up their organization and main
tanned their standing better than
any other district in the Cherokee
nation. Their quarterly county
meeting which occurred on the Sth
inst. at Prairie City was perhaps
the most interesting meeting of the
kind ever held in the district. Ar
rangements are being made for
buying binder twine at wholesale
rates, aud negotiations were entered
into with a dressed beef concern of
Belleyille, Illinois, for the sale of
beef cattle which, if it materializes,
viii be source of considerable
profit to the Alliance people of the
district. THE CHIEFrAfS was ea
dorsed and recommended to the
brotherhood as the best and most
independent newspaper in the
Cherokee nation, and therefore
adopted as the organ Of the Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union
Of Delaware district.
