COERCION ATTEMPTED.

The statement that has been
made in certain quarters that lie
independent ticket in Della ware
district is the outcome of a desire
to beat some one individual falls
very fiat on the public when they
take into consideration how it came
about and the number of good,
substantial men that are heart and
soul in the movement. There is
no doubt in the world but what
more than one-half Of the voters in
the district have resolvednot to be
bulldozed and coerced into support
ing men that are known TO be
against the best interests of the
country. Forbearance has ceased
to be virtue, and the honest
voter will not longer submit to the
dictation of demagogues. Their
idea seems to be to throttle the
will OF the people by denying them
the right to meet in convention as
independent citizens and nominate
a ticket. They seek to destroy
the freedom of the people TO act
and vote in defense of what they
believe to be right. To impugn
the motives Of the class of men
that attended the mass convention
at Carey's Ferry and pour out up
on their heads vituperation and
personal abuse will certainly react
upon their own heads. When we
sum up the situation in Delaware
district it is about like this: Hoo
lie Bell claims to have the Down
ing party by the throat, and with
the help OF few men whose char
acter has always been disreputable
intends to accomplish this year
what he failed to accomplish two
years ago, namely, the destruction
Of the Downing party. Personal
abuse will not sway the intelligent
voter when the interests of the ma.
ton are at stake.

heaven and earth to get at it to rot

A sRAsHoRR OUTING
In the Vicinity of Gray Gables,
the Presidents Cottage.
BUzzARDs' BAY, Mass,
July ~. 1893.


EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-I thought
perhaps it might be interesting to
The CHIEFTAIN's readers to hear
word from Buzzard's Bay. My
journey here from the territory was
long and tffesome one, and yet
saw many things of interest,
beautiful scenery, etc., on the way.
After a few days here | became
rested and ready to enjoy myself.
| do not wonder that people come
to Buzzard's Bay for a vacation, for
it is certainly a lovely place. The
sea breeze and cool weather make
it delightful. My friends whom |
am visiting have conveyances, both
by land and water, so | have adj
vantages of seeing the country
about, both ways. Have had sew
eral boat rides and enjoy the water
very much. On one OF our voy-
ages we went past Gray Gables,
President Cleveland's summer
home; saw little Ruth in the yard
with her dolly. The little villages
and beautiful oak and pine trees
all along the bay on both sides
make it a lovely picture when on
the water. To-day we took ride
overland, and again visited Gray
Gables. Our driver had an errand
there. so we drove close by the
presidents cottage, which is very
picturesque. 1t is situated on a
point Of land go that they get the
full benefit of the sea breeze. Baby
Ruth was out doors with her nurse
and after hearing who | was and
where ] was from, she was per-
mitted 20 shake hands with me-a
privilege all visitors are not al
lowed. The grounds about the
cottage are beautiful, as is all the
country around about. The roads
are not like our territory roads,
but are in condition TO make
driving about a pleasure, and | for
one, enjoyed the ride immensely.
think with THE CHIEFTAIN as
weekly visitor and all other
things thrown in | shall have one
OF the most pleasant vacations of
my life, and only wish all my
friends might enjoy it with me.

MONOPOLY AND A REMEDY.

A correspondent in the Cherokee
Advocate of recent date says:
There has been much talk, off and
on, about monopoly monopoly
monopolizingl" ETC., etc., but has
any one particularized and given
you facts and figures2 That mo-
nopoly exists, is not disputable-
that il can be found, will not be
questioned; but will council do
any thing to remedy the evil? Ahl
there's the rubl Are any men,
bers Of council interested in any
of these monopolizing farms where
by few OF our adopted citizens
are being enriched at the expense
of the many of our full bloods2

and opposed to progress. II is
not so, as ] can very easily satisfy
any reader, for | am well known
and acknowledged TO be always
found in the very first ranks of our
true, progressive uplifters Of our
whole people. What then? II
not pull back and an old fogy,
what do you propose? 1t is very
simple. Allot to every bona ide
citizen his or her share; then for
every acre used and occupied over
his pro rata, levy a tax Of $500 to
$500 an acre, and see that each
and every one so monopolizing,
pays his proper tax into the ma
TONS treasury for the equal ben
eft Of all who do not so monopo-
lize, but who own the land equally
with the monopolist. i suppose
that in Cooweescoowee and Della
ware are to be found most Of these
big farms. And now to give the
people living up in the hills and
hollows OF Flint, Goingsnake and

THE STRIP MONEY.

l.. B. Bell wrote letter to THE
CHIEFTAIN under date Of March IA,
1898, in which he makes the fol-
lowing statement: 81 do not sup
pose that there is a decent man Of
average information in the country
but looks for and expects the pub
lie debt to be paid and the school
fund to be increased out Of this
money, (meaning the Strip money.
To do this would require for the
school fund, $500, 900; for outstand-
ing warrants, 100000; for the
orphan asylum 100000, a total Of
sSOO,OO0. This would reduce the
fund to be divided to s5,6OO,0O0-
a payment per capita Of about 1925.
II we could proceed without inter
ference, but here comes the Shaw
nees, Delawares and negroes, and
no tribunal being provided for de-
termin;ng who are citizens under
the treaty, we win have to await
the decision of the court or accept
the dictation OF the department as
to how much he will hold out, The
supreme court may or may not de-
eide the question by 1900. With
all these obstacles in the way il
looks as If for some years at least
we will have per capita payments
Of the interest on the money only"
This sets forth Mr.. Bells views
in reference TO payment OF the
proceedn Of the Strip money pretty
clearly, and will bear close scrut-
my by all concerned. The idea Of
taking 100000 OF the money that
belongs to the women and children
Of this nation and withholding the
balance from them will not strike
the average voter very javorably.
IT should also be noted that he
mentions the "2bawnees, the Del
awares aud the negro" but not the
