SOCIAL NlCETlES.

Triding Amenities of Fashionable Life
Which A re Their Own Excuse for Being.
Many small amenities which the unac-
customed regard as among the fads of fash
ionable life, altogether whimsical and alb
surd, will really be found established upon
reason if once looked into with any scru-
tiny, says Harper's Bazaar, which illustrates
this theory as follows:
Where the loud speaking woman is
stamped as vulgar, for example, it is not
only because the association connects her
loud voice with the fish women of Billings
gate, but because the loud voice is unsuited
to dwelling rooms, hurts the ears of the
hearers, allows every one to know all the
speakers business and often that of other
people, and betrays, if not a coarse nature,
at least an unframed and uncultivated
manner, while, bad as it is within doors, it
acts "a greatly worse part without, where it
attracts attention and invites insults; but
without and within it is unwomanly. and
it being generally admitted that the part
of refinement. good breeding and good
feeling is to excite as little remark as pos
sible upon the street the loud tone is then
at once recognized as a vulSarity.
As much coutemp: IS showered upon the
system of visiting cards as upon anything
else in the line Of social uiceties- but when
it is remembered that the card represents
the Individual. a. the bank bill represents
the gold coin, it viii be seen that the card
is sent out on an embassy and plays use

board as it is, it pays compliments, &C
knowledges attentions, serves in place Of
its owner. invites. declines. apologies and
does the work Of fact0rurn so well that,
Ike beauty, it has ics own excuse for being.
And if we I0oked into the matter still
more az length. without doubt we would
find that IN almost every instance the
thing criticised IS a valuable usage.

CHELSEA, /. r., July 4, 1892.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-As the wire
cutters are again turned loose by
authority of law and sanctioned by
our court, why not cut all unlaw-
full fences? Any unlawful fence
cannot be a legal inclosure and it
appears to me that the sheriffs are
just as legally bound to cut any
fence not lawful, as pasture fence
containing over fifty acres. The
law says call unlawful Enclosures. 4"
The chief, nor any one else, has
not the right to exercise any dis
elimination between citizens in the
execution of the law; on the con-
trary to see that all laws are ex-
ecuted. A little legislation would
look well in the matter before too
much is done. If one suffers by
the law, let all who fail to live up
to the same law share his
part. Let the authorities think a
little, as but few lawful fences exist
in the country. You cut all un-
lawful Enclosures and that would
the cutting of all unlaw-
tul fences; what a condition this
district would be in. Some one
may say, che is cranky" but let
justice be done all alike. The
rich in this district have the most
unlawful fences; OF course the Off
GER should know a lawful fence
when he comes to it and if the Of
icers have unlawful fences why
lot cut them first? This is a mat
er for the common citizens to con-
iider in order to secure the execu-
ion of the law alike. Do not all
ump on this at once.
As ever,

THE decision of Judge Lendrum,
as published in these columns last
week in regard to post and wire
fences was probably in full accord
with the law, and the fact that
other judges had not made similar
rulings before this is no argument
against the cnrra0fnass of Iudse
Landrum's position. While it is
a source of great annoyance and of
pecuniary loss to many of our cit
liens, it shows conclusively that
we are sadly in need of legislation
that would legalizs wire fences on
the prairies where timber cannot
be had. Probably our-fifths of the
farms in Delaware and Coowee-
scoowee districts are surrounded
with illegal fences, and by tech
nical construction of the law would
be liable to be cut down by the
sheriff.

THE WIRE FENCE LAW.
See How Many Lawful Wire
Fences You Gan Find.

The recent decision of Judge
Landrum in relation to fences is
occupying so much attention it is
thought best to give the entire act
of December 8, 1882, upon which
the decision is based and under
which the sheriff is operating in
his work Of cutting fences:
An Act to prevent the monopoly of
the Public Domain.
Whereas, The Constitution de-
clares that the lands Of the Chero-
kee nation shall remain common
property, and that the national
council shall have the power to
adopt such laws and regulations as
its wisdom may deem expedient
and proper to prevent citizens from
monOpolizing Improvements with
the view Of speculation; and
Whereas, The inclosure Of large
boo;;es Of land for whatever pur-
pose is vioiistive Of the paramount
ownership of the people in the
common property Of the nation,

From tho Arhanses city, tHau) Traveller Of
March H. 1885,

IVHY AS A "OOSMOrOA'iA ~
From .ns 2 A,Tglaansss city ohaul Traveller Of
GUS IyEy.
The article in the Traveller OF
some time ago, headed as above,
has created such a demand for that
issue that we are compelled to re-
print the article to supply the
many calls. Every paper OF that
date we could possibly get hold OF
has been sent away. Here is the
article and may it do him as much
good as he deserves:
1t appears that the individual
above mentioned is the sole and
only cause of the appointing Of the
present senate investigating com
mittee. to investigate the leasing
Of the Indian lands in the Terri
tory, below as. There has been
no evidence whatever adduced to
prove anything fraudulent or ille-
gal in the manner of obtaining such
leases. We do not claim, nor are
we fully convinced of the advisa-
bllity of leasing such large bodies
of land at such low prices to sim
gle individual; but, at the same
time, we docondemn anyone, who
ever he may be, who will cause
the expenseto the government and
10 nriyate citizens, that the indi-
vidual above named has caused.
We know this IveY, know all we
want to know about him. Arkan-
sas City had about six months
knowledge of him. enough to last
her through the next two or three
decades. 1t would perhaps be per-
tinent to mention him gently in
tlIIr vUnnectiUn. Gus Ivey Is a
printer. He came here in the fall
of 10 from the Cherokee nation,
where he left an Indian wife, and
stayed here till along in the spring
Of 80. While here be was a drunk
en-, dissolute, good for nothing dog,
working until he had few dollars
and then laying off until he could
drink it up. In the interim he
made what he could out of gam
bling. The police judge of that
time made his acquaintance several
times. A dirty, drunken hummer,
he spent his time around the sa-
looms drinking and playing bill
lizards. A dead of the worst
character, no one would associate
with him. Our people remember
him as a beat, a hummer, a loafing,
lying, lazy lout. He is the brute
who enticed Ben Gardner into CIV
ing him all his money, by repre-
senting that they could travel to-
gether, and by working now and
then on daily papers, on any of
which he could get case, and thus
go west very cheap. He spent
Ben's money and deserted him
without cent. Oh, yes, we know
Gus Ivey.
The next time Senator Vest
wants to make himself conspicuous
he should choose different CO.
partner then drunken, free-lunch,
gocd-for-nothing vagabond like
Gus Ivey.
Vest now wonders why Ivey
don't appear and testify against
the cattlemen. If the senator
should see this eulogy of the illus
trious gentleman he would wonder
no more, for he would know that
Ivey did not dare show his face
where decent men have their boots
blacked. Selahl We have done.

REDUCING THE PENALTY.

The committee on Indian affairs
has submitted an important report
on a revision of the laws touching
on the sale of intoxicating liquors
in the Indian country. The COM
mittee is of the opinion that the
punishment inflicted was unneces-
sarily severe, and that its severity
in many cases deferred courts and
juries from convicting at all. The
committee, therefore, recommends
that the term of imprisonment
shall not, in all cases, be inflicted
as one penalty. 1t leaves it to the
discretion of the court when to i'm
pose fine, when a penalty and
when both. Other amendments
reducing the severity of the pun
ishment are recommended and all
arrests are required TO be made in
the country where the offense is
committed, or in a country adjoin-
ing the reservation, thus prevent
ing "one Of the most fragrant
abuses of the processes of the
United States court that prevails
anywhere. This amendment is
designed to overcome TIE object Of
unnecessary and unreasonable
hardships upon defendants travel
ing hundreds of miles to court
with their witnesses at their own
expenses.

JOBBHRY EVERY TIME.

According to "thick and thin"
politician who makes his home in
this town, membership of the elect
"seventy" was purely matter OF
"lnhoonce" and was not contin-
gent upon any rights obtained by
having ValWable and permanent im-
provements on the Strip, as set
forth in the agreement. Is it pos
sible that we have reached stage
where "infloonce" controls, and
where an individuals rights are
measured by his political "in-
hoonce?" Mr.. Jordan's course in
the Strip matter has been about as
straightforward as that of the mot
ley crew who have dogged his foot
steps and insisted upon sharing his
fortunes on the Strip. If Mr.. Jor-
dams course was SO straight
forward, why so much secrecy?
There ia probably not an individ-
ual in Vinita who was credulous
enough to be duped into paying
$500 into Mr.. Jordan's hands,
who is not ashamed to own it. Is
it possible that it takes such chican-
cry and duplicity for those who
are provided for on the Strip to
obtain their rightsP Does not the
agreement specify who they are to
be? Mr.. Jordan writes, eff you are
one of my seventy" etc., indicating
clearly that there was to be
scramble for recognition and that
there were those outside of has sev.
enty who would claim the right to
hold land on the Strip. THE
CHIEFTAIN would feel recreant to
duty did it not expose such rotten
ness wherever and whenever
found. 1t has become a forgone
conclusion in the affairs of the ma
ton that where there is money
transaction, there is to be a pro-
portionate steal. When in the
last quarter of a century has there
been any money to be divided
among the people, per capita, that
there has not been part of said
money withheld and appropriated
to the use and benefit of private
persons? 1t will be SO when the
proceeds OF the Strip are to be paid
out. The people have not only
given up $500 acres of the best
land on the Strip to the "first fam
lilies" but they will yield up the
lions share of the money that ac-
crues from the sale.

BLOODY WAR AT CARNEaIE's

A conflict occurred between the
strikers and Pinkerton's detectives
at Carnegie's rolling mills at
Homestead, Pa, yesterday, and
quite a number of persons were
killed. The loss to the Pinkertons
was much the heaviest. At dark
last night there was no cessation
of hostilities and every time an
officer showed himself upon the
barge on which they were quarter
ed he was fired at.

a DAY WELL SPENT.
Fourth of July Picnic at Carse-

The picnic and celebration at the
above point was a complete sue
cess; it was an honor to Rev. Z.
NJ. Lemming, and the citizens of
that neighborhood who sustained
him in the effort to celebrate our
national anniversary in a manner
worthy of rational human beings
and patriotic Americans. Two
features of the usual Fourth of
July celebration were absent-in-
toxicating fluids and the dance; it
Is safe to say that every person in
attendance was well satisfied with
this, in some respects, novel cell
ebration.
The literary part of the exercises
began at II O'Clock with prayer by
Rev. f. NJ. Lemming, the reading
of the Declaration of independence
and addresses by Mr.. E.McC. Ian
drum and DR.. Davis. After lunch
there was an address by Mr.. Lem
ming, in which he made a strong
and touching plea for a pure bal
lot, asking the voters within the
sound of his voice to cast no hal
lot which they could not call God
to witness. Mr.. Mccarthy, prin-
cipal Of Worcester Academy was

BE il enacted by the national
council, That all Enclosures OF the
lands Of the Cherokee nation by
wire, whether barbed or plain-and
posts, wood or iron, the said ma
terial having been at no time rec.
ognized as constituting a lawful
fence in the Cherokee nation, or as
constituting any part OF an I'M
provement under the Constitution,
are hereby declared TO be unlaw-
ful, and whore such Enclosures ex-
ist, the owners or claimants Of the
wire and posts used in making
such Enclosures are required 20 re-
move the same within ninety days
after the passage of this act, or it
shall be the duty OF the sheriff Of
the district, wherein such fencing
may be found, to remove it, and
to sell so much thereof as may be
required to cover the cost of such
removal, after giving further no.
tice of the time and place of sale in
three successive issues of the
Cherokee Advocate.
Be ii further enacted, That from
and after the passage of this act, it
shall not be lawful for any person
to hold, for the purpose Of grazing,
a greater quantity of land than fifty
acres attached to the farm owned
or occupied by such person, he be-
ing citizen Of the Cherokee ma
ton.
Be it further enacted, That in
case any farm is or shall be in
closed by wire and wood or iron
posts, such fence shall be lawful
when constructed as follows, to-
wit:
Wooden posts not less than seven
feet long, SIX inches in diameter,
firmly set in the ground two feet,
and not exceeding eight feet apart;
one wire four inches from the
ground; next, one board, one by
six inches, four inches above first
wire; next, second wire, four in
ches above first board; next, third
wire, fifteen inches above second
wire; second board, one by six or
eight inches, eighteen inches above
third wire; said wires to be fully
stretched and securely fastened to
the posts, and the boa,ds TO be
securely nailed to the posts.
Approved Dec. 8, 1892.

Principal Chief.
The sheriff and his force of wire
cutters were in this city Sunday
and those who conversed with him
upon the subject inferred that it
was not the intention to cut down
fences inclosing fields used in good
faith as such. 1t is not to be un-
derstood, however, that a few
acres of breaking or a small patch
of millet or sowed corn will hold a
large body of ground to be used
for hay or grazing, for it will not
do so.
