To think gave you pain
That my gift must rue
And take 1t back again.
do not know

Your tears have caused me woe.
And IL you weep again

And covet all your pain.
do not know
Nor care which one was right,
For when your dear eyes flow
lcannot speak for pain.
And tear mists blind my sight
Until You smile again.
So let il go
We may have both been wrong,
Or partly so,
Bat sin Ia purged by pain,
And royal souls are strong
To wound and heal again.

Senator Voorhees, is probably as well
versed in political trickery as any man in
the United States. Although supposed to
stand for everything that Is anti Cleveland,
particularly on the financial question he has
controlled more Presidential patronage up
to date than any other single member of
the Senate. That's why so many people
say that he has bargained away his vote
on the silver question, at the coming ses-
sion of Congress, for patronage; but of
that your correspondent does not intend
to express an opinion. The record of Mr.
voorhees, is well known, and if hegoes back
on 1t when Congress meets the public can
draw its own conclusions, but so long as
he can get Offices for his constituents it is
not probable that they will bother them
selves abouta little thing ike somer-
sault on the financial question.
But 1t was of little political trickery
IN which he is just now engaged that
started to tell. OF course every news
paper reader is familiar with the high
handed doings of Postmaster Donham at
Terre Haute, Ind, in disnissing all the
Republican letter carriers as soon as he
took charge of his office, against the rules
of the Post Office Department as we'll as
the civil service law. Civil Service Com
missioner Roosevelt went out there and
made personal Investigation sHd his re-
port Is dead sgainst the postmaster, al

the other commissioners but it uuquestior-
ably will be. Now that particular post

M w1LL HAppBN AGAIN.

Ten years ago (perhaps 6ve) the
Cherokee Outlet could have been
allotted among our citizens and we
would have been permitted TO dis
pose Of II as we chose. Instead Of
taking intelligent action in this di-
rection we filed protest or two
declaring to the United States that
the Cherokee nation was a SOW
reign, independent country; that
the Outlet was ours and we would
fight for it. Since then we have
been forced to sell that country for
fraction of its value, on credit,
and now we are hunting every
where for someone TO whom we
can sell the account at less than il
calls for. SO much for our boasted
greatness, and the strength of our
title and the wisdom OF our states
men. The same council that sold
the Strip on credit can sell the
bonds at any price they wish.
They can also sell the country east
of 96o--our hores-and we cannot
help ourselves-too much power
in the hands of a few men. There
is one remedy only: allotment Of
our homes before it is too late.

ARMY oFFIoBRs AS AGENTS

A recent dispatch from Wash
ington says: Among the most de-
sirable positions under the govern
ment in the past were those of
Indian agents, appointed with each
change of administration. The
offices paid a handsome salary,
and generally enabled the holder
to make a great deal of money out
side. When congress deprived
the politicians of the power to Sc
cure these appointments for their
friends as a reward for services
rendered in local and state cam
paigns it struck hard blow at sen.
ators and congressman who usually
dictated these appointments. Mr..
Cleveland gave early intimation to
the commissioner of Indian affairs
that he wanted army officers for
the greater number of the vacant
places. Accordingly Commissioner
Browning recommended that all
but about fifteen of nearly sixty
places should be filed with mill.
tary men. The rest were agencies
among Indians who were we'll ad-
vanced on the road to civilization,
like the five tribes in the Indian
Territory and a few others. In
some cases the Indians themselves
requested the appointment of civ
ilians on the plea of preferring to
do business with business men,
and repudiating army officers as fit
-~.-ly - avai "iviI OieuhrU Indians.
Behind this appeal was suspected
to lurk influence Of powerful polit-
icians in congress, although it had
its effect in determining the COM
missioner to select fifteen civilians.
Since then these appointments
have been expected from day to
day. Last week, however, the
president notified assistant Indian
Commissioner Armstrong that he
desired him to recommend fifteen
additional army officers for the
places reserved for civilians. From
this it is inferred that the presi-
dent intends to make clean sweep
Of civilians in the Indian service
and carry out the act of congress
giving him discretionary power, to
the very letter, as far as possible.
Nevertheless, he will probably be
strongly urged to make exceptions
in the case of several civilians
whose Appointment was decided
on two weeks ago."

THEBALLoT THE REMEDY

Those who h ave been in a posi-
tion to note the trend of political
parties in this nation for the last
ten years have certainly not failed
to discover that they have not kept
pace with the progress Of the coun-
try and people in other respects.
Indeed, there has actually been a
retrogression. The hand Of the
demagogue and political re-pull-
er bears more heavily upon the
people than formerly. So much
dirt and corruption has been and
is being practiced and with such
open and unblushing effrontery
that decent people are prone TO
turn away in silent disgust. Ten
years ago the spectacle of one OF
two men manipulating the politics
of whole districts and the same
men figuring in both political par
ties was unheard of. When men
that have the utmost disregard for
the domestic, social, and moral OBJ
legations common to all civilized
communities come to the front and
contend for the very highest offices
of trust and responsibility, decent
people have cause to hang their
heads in humiliation.
But the people of the Cherokee
nation are not without a remedy;
they have the ballot left. There
are more good people here who re-
gard integrity above rubies, and
prize honor and honesty above all
else, than other kinds. They must
rise up in their might and drive
om place and p0w>S these moral
lepers.
There is time enough yet, eye1S
law-abiding citizen, be he farmer,
merchant, lawyer or what not,
should find time enough to attend
the conventions and demand clean
er men for the Offices of trust and
emolument. The better class of
our citizens have stayed at home
too long already. Tney must wake
up or the country is gone. THE
CHIEFTAIS never has been nor
never will be an alarmist in the
common acceptation of the term,
but is excited in regard to the
drift Of affairs here and will insist
upon others being excited until
these dangerous evils are no more.
