SECRETARY HoKE SMITH has de-
hned sooner" on the Cherokee
Strip in such a manner as to strike
CONSERVATION to the hearts of a
large proportion of the settlers OF
that country. He holds that ev.
erybody is "sooner" who set foot
within the Strip after the bill
passed and before the opening.
Secretary Noble defined as "soon.
ers" those who went into Okla
homa after the proclamation and
before the opening. Guided by
this precedent thousands of people
selected locations and retired be-
fore the proclamation was issued
and remained out until the legal
time for entry arrived. These are
now held to be "sooners.

MUsKoGEE has learned that there
is such place as Vinita and that
she is going to cut a figure in the
court legislation of congress. Two
or three weeks ago the Muskogee
outrage passed the senate; two or
three days later it was "reconsid-
cred" and is thus still pending.
When the people of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw country find out
Vinita is going to be recognized it
would be the part of wisdom
for them to come forward and as
sist in the adjustment of jurisdic-
ton on honest lines. They ought
TO be about convinced by this time.
We will give them a tip: No bill
will become a law that permits
Muskogee to"hog"all OF the north.
eastern portion of the Indian Ter
ritory.

If THE Vinita fair association
allows Hoolie Bell to carry his
political rows into the association
and to use it to even up with those
who have compassed his defeat,
the fair may suffer the same fate
that Bell has suffered. The fair is
something that every resident of
the town should strive to make a
success, and into which politics
should not be allowed TO enter.

A national debt of more than
5000, 900; our annual annuities
not sufficient to run the govern
ment; as population increases the
expense increases Some provis-
ion will have to be made to meet
this increase of national expenses.
We have no revenue worth speak
ing of. There is but one way of
doing this. Let the national
council pass a law levying an ad.
valorem tax. A tax Of five mills
on property as given in to the last
census takers would amount to
more than 100000, which would
pay the national debt in one year.
We pay six per cent interest on
our national warrants. Outstand-
ing warrants to the amount of
100000 bearing six per cent per
annum cost the nation for interest
alone one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars. all of which can
and should be saved.-Tahlequah

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The senate
held a very brief session yesterday and
transacted no business of general pub

In the house Mr.. Boutelle, upon
question of personal privilege, denied
the published imputation that lac had
introduced the resolution recognizing
the Hawaiian republic for political
purposes, and proceeded to speak in
severe terms Of several members Of the
administration, when the speaker de-
cided that he had gone outside the
question of privilege. and when he in
sisted on speaking the chair required
him to take his seat The militia bill
was then debated for a time in very
lively manner, calling forth much talk
on the subject Of sending troops into
state without call from the governor.
Six relief bills were then passed and
the house adjourned.

Condensed Report of the Weeks Proceed

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The senate
held short and uninteresting session
yesterday. The most important busi-
ness was the passage of a resolution
directing the president 10 take steps
for the release Of American citizens
confined in the island of Cuba for par
ticipation in the late rebellions.
The house held a brief session, trans
acting no business of interest. Ad-
iourument was had at 2:A5.

THE TARIFF BILL
IN CONFERENCE

Concerning the present status of the
tariff bill AMI its probable outcome in
the conference committee, Major j. M.
Carson, of the Philadelphia Ledger,
contributes the following to that paper
in his Saturdays Washington special:
at is important to keep these facts
in mind (referring to the concessions
made IN the Senate on sugar, coal and
from now that the bill is Oh the eve of
being returning to the House for con-
sideration Of the Senate amendments
by that body. Many Of the more radi-
cal raw materials Democrats Of the
House, swelling with Indignation over
what they term betrayal of the pub
lie confidence on the part of Demo-
cratic Senator'S, and aching with disap-
pointment over the prospective failure
to carry out their pet theories of reven-
ue r>form, are noisily proclaiming they
will concur in the obnoxious amend
ments aud that their votes will be Civ
en- against the bill unless the Senate
surrenders to the House and restores
coal, iron and sugar to the free list
These declarations are made with such
fervor and apparent sincerity that per-
sons without experience with the 1eye-
nue. legislation of Congress. and whose
conclusions are based on superficial
observation, are impressed with the be-
lief that sufficient volts cannot be OBJ
timed in the House to retain coal, iron
and sugar on the dutiable list. There
IS no substantial cause for apprehen-
sion on this point 1t will be much
easier to secure concurrence by the House
than to force the Senat, to recad,, and
for two reasons: First, the Democrats
in the House have thirty-eight in ex-
cess OF a quorum, while in the Senate
the Democrats have bare quorum
Second, bill which makes coal, iron and
sugar free can pass The Senate Tue
forces that compelled the majority in
that body to make those commodities
dutiable vii insist upon so maintain
ing them. With free coal, iron and
sugar it would be an easy matter to Sc
cure the three or four Democratic votes
necessary to defeat the bill in the Sen
ate. With coal, iron and sugar duti-
able thirty-eight Democ attic vo es can
not be secured TO def eat tn, bill in the
House.

PRAISE FOR THE TROOPS.

Governor Brown said after his return
to Baltimore thai when he reached the
camp at Frostburg Monday and found
the extent OF the privations to which
the troops were subjected and which
they bore uncomplalnirgly, he was
more than ever impressed with their
efficiency and faithfulness to duty. The
Governor added:
Il went over to Frostbur5 to the AL
leGany mine on the early morning of
my arrival. There found body of
men lying on the ground, with no COW
ering but their blankets, and nothing
between them and the earth but LOT
of thin straw. Two sentinels were pa
tro'ing this spot, keeping guard over
their sleeping comrads and also on the
alert for intruders to the mine proper
ty. This looks to me like campaigning
in reality, and have never witnessed
anything like the scene since the war,
of which it strongly reminded me.
This is one incident that came under
my personal obs srvation. l was told
by the officers that such occurrences
were frequent during the stay of the
troops. 1t is such things as this that
impress one with the serviceabiIity of
the militia and the patriotism that ac-
tuated every one of the 1.01G men
who went to Frostburs al the first call
for troops.
81 felt touch at the self denial saw
exhibited and my ieart swelIed with
plide that Mar land should have such
excellent material to guard her peace
in time of danger and turmoil. This
same pride woulI fill the breast of all
citizens had they seen the men as | saw
them.
CAS- matter of fact the work AMI
conduct of these men has not been full
lyappreciated because 1t has never been
thoroughly understood. 10 talk about
marching in rain, guarding mining
property and sleeping on the damp
ground night after night, cannot prop
cry stir the feelings of those whose
beds are comfortable and who have
never had to undergo these hardshIps.
The people of Maryland owe debt of
gratitude to their troops, which cannot
be to quickly paid. The troops put up
their own tents and did all other nee
essary work about the camp and did it
willingly"
