OUR TAHLEQUAH BUDGET.
PROSPECTIVE ADJOURNMENT
THIS WEEK.
The jail and the Advocate Pro-
vided for-saooo Appropriated
With an Unnecessary Proviso.

In explanation of the item in our
last weeks letter in reference to
the "white clerk" bill having been
vetoed by Chief Harris, will say
that such was the current report
here; in fact several senators and
quite a number OF members of the
lower house were authority for the
statement. Tuesday morning, how
ever, your correspondent learned
from the chief that the bill was
still in his possession. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the measure
will remain ineffective in the hands
of the chief until the assembling
of council next November when
the incoming chief will either veto
it or allow it to become a law by
limitation.
*.*
The extra session, like the regu-
lar session, has been productive OF
very little legislation. The appro.
priations for the national prison
and the Advocate, and $500 for the
use of the chief in making the trip
to Washington, and $1,000 to be
used for lawyer fees if needed(?) is
the record of last weeks work.
***
The chief recommended that an
act be passed providing for the
sale Of intruder improvements and
council went to work on such a
bill but after consuming more than
two days on it, it was killed on its
passage. The rest of last week
was consumed in passing "No. 1"
bill, paying expenses of the extra
session.
***
Council was asked early in the
week TO settle with the treasurer
but up to Saturday no settlement
had been effected and an adjourn
ment was taken until noon Mon.
day. Council will adjourn, sine
die, as soon as a settlement with
the treasurer can be made, which
will probably be about Friday.
***
The leaders of the National
party seem anxious to father the
bill known as the "white clerk
BILL" or the exclusion act, and to
make il party measure, and some
Of the more prejudiced Of the
Downings want their party to have
the same honor. This element,
however, have never weighed the
consequences to the country and
indeed they do not care. 1t is, TO
use the language of celebrated
American financier, "the people
be damned" they have allowed
their great hatred TO the whites to
get the best of them, and they are
making themselves unhappy. not
to say ridiculous, when the facts
are these fellows are generally
more white than Indian. They are
doing more in this way TO keep
alive race prejudice to the great
injury of the Cherokee nation than
all other agencies combined. Some
of our otherwise most talented
men have become monomaniacs on
this subject and have worked
themselves up 10 a morbid state Of
mind bordering on insanity. They
believe that the Indian Is con-

A MATTER oF ECONOMY.
She Didn't Want Chairs While the al
Were Courtinn.

She Didn't Want Chairs While the Girls
Were Counting.
The lady from the tamarack swamps
was laying in some parlor furniture
and the clerk in the store was offering
his valuable advice.
NO" she said in rebuttal, ~ don't
want no chairs"
mo chairs, madame?' he exclaimed.
81 never heard of parlor without
chairs"
"Well, you come TO my house some
time and you will see one," she re-
torted.
What will you have insteadP"
"Sofes, young man. sofies; these little
two seat ones, and taytaytayS and
things like that"
The clerks equanimity was receiving
a powerful jostle.
what in the mischief do you want
to do that for9" he asked in a helpless
sort of way.
"You amt married man, are your"
she snapped. You never raised =
family of girls, did you?"
Hardly"
well, you don't know anything
about 1t. I've raised five; three's mar
ried and the other two's got beaus; I've
always had chairs, and every time
when the courtin' was over with them
girls and they got married, had TO git
new ones; three sets Of parlor chairs in
three winters is goin' it most two
strong; they git broke down somehow
and now I'm goin' TO put a stop TO It by
having sofes and you needn't be tryin'
TO change my mind. know what
want, and II you haven't got sofies say
so, and I'll go where they do have
them"
The argument was convincing and
the clerk fitted the thrifty lady out
with half dozen warranted to carry
two with safety and economy.-Detroit

lies with that of a supposed accomplish.
A knife found upon the anarchist, when
he was arrested, was noticed to be slightly
discolored at the point. and was handed to

the superstition that the point Of this
weapon was poisoned. NJ. Girard will ex-
anime the knife and make a report upon 1t
later.
A Geographic dispatch from Marseilles
says that an anarchist who Is believed to
be Identical with Breton came TO that city
from Algeria in 1892, and that for some
time afterward he worked as a waiter In a
cafe at that port.

from Algiers today saying that copies of an
anarchist manifesto were found scattered

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Feb. 4.-In the
review of trade conditions in Mexico, FL
Economista Mexicano says that the insta-
bility of the stock market has well nigh
paralyzed the regular speculative move
ment in agricultural products. The move
ment of crops is very slow, but keeps en-
tirely I'D with the demand. The sales OF
coffee and other products being made to
United States buyers generally rule high In
price on account Of the present exchange
although the general cost of living has
gone up in proportion with exchange. The

realized.
