MR.. STOKES CHARITY PATIENTS.
Men Who Lived at the Hoffman House and
Never Paid Anything Tor Eoard.

Never Paid Anything Tor Eoard.
The abrupt closing CT the Hoffman
House has been taken as a burning and
unprOvol;cd insult by number of men
who have been living in that establish
ment for great many years, and who
are hot and loud in their denunciation
Of Proprietor Stokes. Ii Is characteristic
that this little group Of Hoffman House
habitues should be particularly sharp in
their comments on Nh Stokes action,
because they have been known as his
charity patients for years.
Two of them have lived in the Hoif-
man House for upward Of % years with
out paying cent. Another has never
paid anything, although he is an old
Hoffman House dwc!lcr, bat he has
justified his position in the establish
nent iy running around occasionally
and doing odd jobs for the house. Sew
eral of the others are notorious with
their ever existing lack OF fumes. 1t is
generally believed that the only way
Mi. Stokes could get thcm out of the
house was to take the radical move
which he decided upon oa-ly last week
There was nothing TO be done with
the Hoffman House except 70 bnild All
entirely new structure. Tho main part
OF the establishment is SO old and rick

additional stories on il, and it would
have been waste Of money 10 Try to

Silence as the Alabama Vert Down,

was never a shout from the kearsarge
Silence, boys! silence-' was the stern

The usual treatment of catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands can
testify. Proper local treatment is
positively necessary to success. but
many. il not most, of the remedies in
general use afford but temporary re-

pected from snuffs. powders. douches
and washes. Ely's Cream Balm.

Judge Benet in Columbia delivered last
week q charge to the jury, which has brought
down upon his head the most pronounced
criticisms from tn daily press Of the State.
The Judge held that the Courts had little
of the Legislature. That the Courts had no
more right to repeal q law than they had to
enact law.
In thus holding the Press and Banner be-
lieves that the learned Judge erred. But If
he had said that the Courts had too often in
terfered with coordinate branches OF the
Government he would have stated the case
exactlv. We believe 1t was no less person
age than Saint Paul who said all things that
are lawful are not expedient. We do not
question the right Of the Court to annul
law which they think unconstitutional, and
we have no doubt that the Courts have a
right to lay their hands on the Governor and
say thus far, and no farther, shalt thou 60.
But We think It unwise for the Courts to
strain q point in order TO interfere with either
Of the coordinate branches.
II the Courts exercise their power too read
lily, and on trivial prete1ts, then the Courts
may usurp the powers which have been WISE
ly vested In the Legislative and the Execu.
tive departments Of the Government.
Without due and proper respect for the CO.
ordinate branches Of the Government, the
Court itself may assume the functions OF the
other branches, and 30 we would practically
have but one arm OF the Government.
In plain or fiagrant violations Of the con-
stitution or in attempted usurpation OF the
rights of the citizen the Courts should inter
fere.
But in doubtful cases the Courts should not
interfere. And because OF their great power
and the lack Of any one to correct or review
their errors. they should be exceeding slow 70
act. Omcial courtesy should govern them,
except in plain cases.
The Bress and Banner believes that the
Courts have too often inferfered with the CO.
ordinate branches of the Government. Even
II there were legal grounds for interference 1t
was inexpedient to do 80.

The Dispensary.

The Supreme Court has announced its ae-
cision on the dispensary law, and Its constl'
tutionality. is maintained In every particu'
lar.
The opinion was written by Associate JUS
t,ce Gary and was conourred in by Associate
Justioe Pope. Chief Justice McIver dissents.
The Press and Banner is very glad of the
decision. and thinks that the decision Is
right, and will be promotive Of good.
While there is an honest difference OF opin'
ion ON this law. yet we think the future Will
provo the justice Of the decision ana the
beneficial effects of the law.

The reign of terror that seems
TO have set in in earnest in this
territory does great violence to
Judge Parker's statement some
months ago that crime was so
rapidly decreasing in this country.
The Judge of the greatest criminal
court in the world is an able man
and a good judge, but he is not
prophet. The statement that is
so frequently made that matters
are not so bad in the territory as
is given out by the metropolitan
dailies is another misstateinent.
There is no doubt but that a great
many things are reported by ire
sponsible parties who don't know
anything about what the condi-
tions really are here, but as to
crime in this country "the half
has never been told One gang
after another of outlaws have been
exterminated, only to be replaced
by another and larger, and more
desperate one. Neither life nor
property is safe in this country
and no one feels absolutely secure.
Ask any travelling man and he will
tell you that he never feels safe
any more on the roads of the coun-
try. This view of the subject may
not be the most pleasing in the
world but is true nevertheless. 1t
is idle talk to say that outlawry is
confined to any particular national
ity for it is not. The Daltons were
white men, but the Starr gang that
succeeded them was led by an In
dian aud composed of both Indians
and whites; and the Cook gang is
composed of Cherokees, Creeks,
negroes and whites. So it must be
the conditions here and not the
blood that breeds The outlaws.

IF THE news from Tahlequah Of
an effort being made to shut out
permitted labor in this country in
all lines of business be true, and
such a measure should become a
law, it is difficult to say how dis
astrous TO the country and to the
Cherokees the result would be.
Farms would lie idle and work
shops be closed, citizen labor
would command a premium that
no business under the sun could
pay, and no one could possibly be
benefited. Let us hope that no
such foolishness will be INDUCED
in by council.

PROBABLY no candidate for chief
since the days of John Ross had
such a following os has Sam
Mayes. Various circumstances
have combined TO render his elec-
tion certain. Indeed, the strength
that Mr.. Mayes has developed has
had a tendency to make the cam
paign a rather tame affair. The
National party made the sad mis-
take of trying TO force man on
the people who had long since
been repudiated, and its attempt
to organize the malcontents of both
parties and gather them TO itself
has resulted in disaster.
