new leaf is being turned in the
history OF this country Had not
Chief Mayes become inveigled in
to the clutches Of the COW men,
from whom he would have been
utterly unable to extricate himself,
had he lived, his administration
in some respects was TIE best the
nation ever had But when we
take into consideration some of
his appointments and the mon
entities he placed in positions of
honor and trust, the thought calls
up an unbidden sigh, and some Of
his best friends We're won't to ex-
claim, what next" In men,
lioning these things at. this time
it is not intended to reflect upon
any 1t is matter Of history
The agreements entered into with
the COW men were politics ON the
part Of Mr.. Mayes and on The part
Of the former it was business, pure
and simple Nobody blames the
oatllemen for the part they took
in the election of Chief Mayes
Their business seemed to be at
stake and they had right to pro
teet it. The battle was a draw
As the smoke cleared away it at
first looked like a victory but be-
yond the possibility Of doubt it
was draw. Those who fought
monopoly failed to defea; their OPP
ponents, lis trae. but they sue
ceeded in getting their cause be-
fore the people and subsequent
events have on the other hand
shown that their opponents have
no victory Had Chiet Mayes
lived, the people Of this nation
would have had the benefit of his
best efforts to give them a wise
and economical government, but
he was under obligations that
would have crushed his admins

them out But they could not
have been carried cut and none
knew it better than those to whom
they were made. But now, after
suffering the losses and bereave-

mortal seventy. presume some
of the commissioners were the
beneiiciares Of thi, article or they
never would have consented To il.
They were not so ignorant as not

Judgment Is that they shuuld elinl-

Council in tho Last Throes OF It's
Existence.


TAHLEauAH, |. r., Jan, 5, '02.
The Strip sale as agreed upon be-
tween the United States and Cher
okee commissioners has been rati-
fled by both branches of the ma
honal council. The senate took it
up and passed it last Saturday with
but three opposing votes, they be-
ing Baugh Washbourne and Seven
stars, 1t was then sent to the lower
house, whore it was passed Mon
day with but three issenting
voices Now the Strip is forever
sold so far as the Cherokees are
concerned and everybody is happy
over the event. The trade is con.
sidered very good one for the
Cherokee nation, and many enter.
tain fears that 1t will not be rati-
fed by congress.
Outside of the ratification of the
Strip sale the council just passing
has been most miserable failure
so far as legislation for the people
is concerned, and the average
voter has not the exalted idea Of a
"new councilp that he had some
months ago. With all their faults,
the old heads were sadly needed
to turn Of lots Of work which the
new heads have failed to do.
The delegation bill, providing for
third man to accompany the two
already appointed, was killed in
the senate yesterday.
There is but little else to do now
but adjourn SINE die, which happy
eventit it said, will take place this
evening at about 5 o'clock.
The instructions to the delega-
tion is taking up the attention Of
council to day, and after disposing
of that and a mo. /" bill, adjourn
ment will follow.

rights here by adoption that he
would acquire by marriage in the

You may marry the daughter of a

to the gaze Of the public. Dis
honesty and malfeasrnce in Office
should not go unpunished by any
means, but the point that il is de.
sired to make is this: There is
too much wholesale condemnation
of public officers when only a
limited number are guilty. There
is no doubt but what this system
has been the means of keeping
some of cur best men out Of politics
entirely A mans work should
not be judged so much by results
as by his motives If a mans
motives are good he should not be
condemned, even though he fails
in the objects desired. The course
to be pursued by public men is not
always clear by any means. There
are times when tits really hard TO
decide what would BE the better
course to pursue, but it is always
safer to rely upon intelligence
rather than Ignorance, even though
the later be accompanied by the
most answering honesty 1t is
always safe to have shrewd men in
office though they be knaves rather
than fools. Knaves can be
watched and kept in a measure
straight, but there is no accounting
for fool; he is liable to break
over at any time and ruin all by
Honesty and integrity,
coupled with wisdom, makes the
best equipment fora public officer.

the people here but elsewhere, to

positions When man accepts

for the slings and arrows of every

fail to perform the functions OF
their Offices but all should not be

of honesty and integrity in office
