The overthrow of David Ben
nett Hill in New York Tuesday,
is only a repetition of what hap
pened to his prototype and model,
"Boss" Tweed, twenty years ago.
Six years ago Hill knitted Cleve-
land and the democratic party
deep, and under the fifth rib, and
retribution has not been swift
or soon, but very complete.

very skiffully and the movement
has been going on in all the dis
tricts for some weeks past and
those who claim TO know are talk
ing under their breath about a
majority having been secured be-
fore single member Of either
house had set foot in the capitol.
The leaders believe that a mistake
was made in ever permitting white
labor in the country, and has been
the means of complicating our af-
fairs and has served as pretext
for the Dawes commission to come
among us and demand educational
and other facilities for the child
rem of the people we have permit.
ted to reside in the country.
Strange as it may seem, there are
few Cherokees who oppose the
measure.
*s*
There are but two Offices to be
filled by this counoil-a supreme
Judge and a member of the board
of education-and there seem to be
not less than fifteen or twenty men
whose aspirations are leading them
to seek the positions. The term
Of Judge Wickliff on the supreme
bench has expired by limitation
as has also that of VIM. j, Mckee,
of the board of education. As
both houses of council are Nation
al, of course these plums will fall
to members of that party. Those
most talked of for supreme judge
are J. NJ. Keys and jeff McGhee,
although the chances of either of
these are perhaps no better than
the rest.

OUR TAHLEQUAH BUDGET.
CHEROKEE COUNCIL NOW IN
SESSION.
Opening Incidents = Prospective
Assault on Enterprise in the
Nation Who Comprise Council.

The Cherokee capitol is once
again scene of life and animation.
| he dust and cobwebs have been
swept from the senate and council
chambers, and the speakers gavel
and the stentorian voices of the
members in occasional outbursts
of eloquence have taken the place
of the quietude that has reigned
supreme for the past few months,
and the bats and spiders have been
frightened from their peaceful
places of abode. The servants of
the good people are here once
more to make and remodel laws
for the good of the nation and to
look wise and vote and draw So. so
per day for the good Of themselves.
They have all been hele before
and their reassembling was like
the reunion of a scattered family.
Irrespective of party affiliations
they grasp hands heartily, swap
jokes with each other and then
saunter off in little groups and be-
gin rolling logs and shaping the
destinies of the nation. And then
likely some Of them 60 of to a
drug store or into the shadow of a
friendly building-and some take
a little water and sugar and some
"take it straight"
*.*
But withal, the Cherokee legis-
lature of today is a vastly differ
ent body from what it was ten
years ago. Ii is better disciplined
and the proceedings are character
lied by better order and presided
over by more thorough parlimen-
tarians as speakers and presidents
than they were a decade ago. The
members Of today are not permit
ted during the session to "highst"
their feet above their heads on
their desks, smoke, chew and spit
on the floor or swap jokes with the
speaker as Of yore; but on the con-
trary the Cherokee lawmaker OF
today is almost as graceful and
dignified as a member Of parlia-
ment. The Cherokee senate was
never in its history presided over
by a more competent president
than Hon. r. NJ. Wolfe.

Safe Blown Open and 500 Worth of
Plumber Secured.
One of the most daring acts of burglary
was perpetrated in our village on Monday
night. The store of L. T. & w. H. Land
man was broken into, the safe blown up,
and the thief escaped with about $500
worth of property in watches, rings and
other jewelry. The theft was not discov-
cred until the following morning, when
one of the proprietors came to open the
store at the usual hour. The thief entered
the store through a window just behind
the safe. A small hole was made in one of
the upper lights, through which the spring
could be reached, making an easy entrance.
The clock was stopped at 1880, showing
that even the monOtOnOus tick of the
clock was oppressive. Two reports were
heard by people living near at about 2:30,
but nothing further was thought of the
matter till morning. AS soon as the dis
covery was made, j. W. Melendy and w.
II. Landman gave chase, it being an easy
matter to identify the horse and carriage,
they being the property of L. T. d. w. II.
Landman, taken from their barn several
rods from the store. The horse was found
in the road near Manchester, where it was
left to wander at will, the offending party
walking from there to Manchester station
He boarded the rear end of the train going
south, paying for his fare on the train.
Mr.. Melendy arrived in time to take the
next train, but to no purpose. 1t is thought
the thief left the train at Eagle Bridge
There are no further developments at time
of writing. Some 40 custom watches were
in the safe, all of which were taken, this
and the destruction of the safe making a
heavy loss. Everythingis being done that
is possible to overtake the rascal.
