KINGSLEY, San 25, 1892.
We are sorry to chronicle the fact of
Mr.. E. L. Boynton's loss by fire on the
Goth, of his granery and its contents and
also years supply of bacon belonging
to his son Charley, who is living on the
farm. The loss is at least $500, and no
insurance. This must seem little hard
as it will be remembered that a little
over year ago Mr.. Boynton had barn
and its contents, and also avery fine
Percheron stallion burned.
At nearly every house in this vicinity
there is one or more down with the L a
Grippe or had colds, but SO far no case
has proved fatal.
The snow has nearly all disappeared
and the ground is frozen two or three
inches but there is more moisture in
the ground than there has been for the
last three years and farmers are ali con-
fident of a good crop the coming har-
vest.

the disease to result in pneumonia, pro-

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
GALL.

There will be held at South Nc
Alester, Indian Territory, on Wed
nesday, October 5, 1892, a conven-
ton of the democrats of the Indian
Territory, for the consideration of,
and action upon the following mat
ters
First, Whether the organization
of the party as effected at the Nc
Alester convention on March 10,
1892, shall be recognized as per-
nanent, be modified, or be entirely
set aside. Ifit should be modified
OF set aside, the convention will
proceed to take such action as will
effect a permanent organization
upon such basis as it may de.
termine.
Second, To consider whether
the democrats of the Indian Ter
ritory shall put in the field a can
didate for delegate to represent
the Indian Territory In the con :
gress Of the United States, and if
it decides affirmatively, then to
nominate such candidate, ,and to de-
wise plan for holding an election.
Third, To consider and take ac-
tion upon any and all matters con-
cerning the good of the democratic
party in the Indian Territory, and
to render aid to the national dem
ocratic party in the pending elec-
ton.
The basis of representation shall
be, one delegate and one alternate
for every organized democratic
club having a membership of
twenty i've or less, and one addi-
tional delegate for every twenty
five members or fractions thereof.
The secretary of each club shall
sign the credentials of delegates or
alternates and shall certify to the
number of members enrolled on
the club rolls. The executive
committee suggest that the clubs
in the different localities hold
meetings on Saturday, October 1st,
1892, for the purpose of electing
delegates and alternates.
By order of territorial demo-
cratic executive committee.

TO reason that a time will come
when there will not be standing
foom for the citizens of this coun-
try. Hence the impossibility OF
alVays holding the land in com
mon.
The lands of the Cherokee nation
are very nearly in the condition Of
an unsettled estate of deceased
person where a known quantity of
land is left to ar unknown number
Of heirs, and in this case we may
very appropriately say, an unlim-
tied number of heirs--unlimited
because claimants are presenting
themselves constantly for admis-
sion and whites are being adopted
without limit; ali this besides the
natural increase.

light when Il is remembered that
usually from four to SIX months
are consumed in preliminary Office
work to prepare a large area OF
land for opening after congress has
ratified treaty. Under the pro-
ceedings which the Indian bureau
have mapped out, the l" is will be
allotted, the charts an, APPS pre-
pared and the adveru ats got
ready for publication curing the
ensuing winter, and everything got
ready to submit to congress when
il meets in March. Inasmuch as
practically no obstacles are TO be
apprehended from the action Of
congress in ratifying treaties, the
work will have so faf advanced by
that time that a week or ten days
will suffice to open the surplus
lands to settlement, and settlers
will be admitted in time to make
an early crop, which is the special
object in view, whereas, otherwise
it might be late in the summer be-
fore this could be done.

THE LAND DON'T INoRHAsB.

"The lands of the Cherokee
nation shall remain common prop
erty." So says the constitution.
According to the usual acceptation
of-the term, common property"
would mean belonging TO all alike,
and probably the trainers of the
constitution meant the land to be
held literally in common, as the
air and water, and at the time our
constitution was framed, il was
even possible for such a view to
have been taken. So far as the
average Cherokee citizen was con
cerned the land was as unlimited
as anyone could desire, and every
one could have the "use and occu.
pancy" of as much land as he de
sired without infringing upon the
rights of others, and the major por-
iion of the Cherokee lands were
unoccupied at all. Under those
circumstances it was an altogether
satisfactory way Of holding land
but in the discussion Of the land
question il is necessary to notice
that the situation has entirely
changedand instead ofa surplus of
land there is none but what is in
use, and instead Of being held in
common it is steadily going into
the hands Of few men. Under
existing conditions that part OF the
constitution above mentioned has
become imperative. NotNith-
standing the constitution says the
land shall remain common prop.
eTty everyone knows that II Is
not common property.
Again, Of this "common prop
oriy'' the Delawares are guaranteed
160 acres per head which would
seem to be 10 violation of the

GENTLEMEN The call referred
to is genuine, but am not sur.
prised that you question il. |
made an earnest effort TO get the
call so worded as to avoid all fric-
tion and revival of antagonisln, so
that the democrats of the Indian
Territory should have a chance to
organize the democracy, heal the
differences arising out of the pro.
visional conventions of McAlester
and Muskogee, including the pres
ent contest pending between DR..
Il n. Allen and myself for the
position Of national committeeman
of Indian Territory and all other
matters Of interest. The gentle
men acting for the McAlester COM
mittee insisted, substantially, that
the McAlester meeting had organ
lied the democratic party, and that
they were the head Of the party.
They would not agree TO the
changes | urged, and rather than
TO allow them to keep alive the
split in the democracy, | signed
the call, notwithstanding my earn
est objections to its form. There
was one feature in the case that
overbalanced, to some extent my
objection, to-wit: that the con-
vention should consider and take
action upon any and all matters
concerning the good Of the demo-
cratic party in the Indian Terri
tory. What | want is that the
democracy shall have the right of
free speech. When the democrats
meet at South McAlester on Oct.
9th, 1892, If they shall say that the
six delegates, who manipulated
the little meeting Of March 10Th,
1892, on an insufficient call, and
organized themselves into dele
gates to Chicago and into the dem
ocratic party, had a right to do this
and then TO boss the Indian Terri
tory, and try to run over the large
body Of democrats represented at
the Muskogee convention on June
1lth, | shall retire with iortitude
under their adverse judgment.
In the meantime, maintain that
all authority is in the hands of the
people, and Il is both their duty
and right to exercise it and that
there has never been till now, a

the democratic party, and that the

OKLAHOMA sooNERs.

The Guthrie land office has
rendered a decision which will
cause thousands of Oklahoma set
tiers as well as hundreds of pros
pective homesteaders in the Cher
Okee strip much trouble. The case
in question is that OF Lizzie Dorrill
VS.. James Reed. Reed filed de.
claratory on a valuable tract OF
land, at the opening of the terri
tory, and was afterwards contested
by Miss Dorrill on the ground OF
Reeds being a "sooner. The
testimony in the case showed that
Reed left Arkansas City on April
13, 1889, going to the northwest
corner Of the Iowa reservation.
In going there he passed over a
portion Of Oklahoma proper, lying
north of the CimarrOn river, on the
highway known as the Captain
Nipp trail. He camped near Fitz-
gerald creek from April II to 10
close to the Oklahoma line. On
April 18th he appeared at a cattle
camp inside the territory line, and
on the 10Th was present at a
roundup very near the tract of land
which he afterward took. The Off
cials therefore conclude that Reed
went on these pleasure excursions
for the purpose Of obtaining an
advantage over the other settlers
who remained at the line until the
day of the opening, and so give the
land TO Miss Dorrill. Under this
decision all OF the persons who
have visited any of the Indian res
ervations in the territory or the
Cherokee strip on pleasure and
hunting trips since March 2, 1889,
are "sooners," and cannot obtain
title to land here. The decision,
if upheld by the interior depart
ment at Washington, will bring
into question the title TO hundreds
Of claims in the settled portions of
the territory and bar thousands
from taking claims in the future.

Ii the Strip is to be sold, why not
finish the trade at the earliest pos
sible moment and pay the pro-
ceeds to the people ? As it is we
are getting nothing from it in the
way of revenue, and we are not al
lowed to occupy it.
