THERE is no pleasanter task that
falls TO the lot Of newspaper than
to be able to truthfully tell its
readers, and especially those near
by, that its town is enjoying an
era of prosperity. II is one of the
rewards of journalism to be able
from time TO time to record events
of moment and of great good to
ones own section. So THE CHIEF
TAIN is delighted this week TO tell
its friends and the public gener
ally that we are soon TO have a
full-hedged United States court
permanently established in our
town. This is another step in adj
vance and another movement that
gives additional confidence to our
moneyed men TO invest largely in
business and In improvements in
Vinita. This city has reached an
altitude from which it can look
with eomplacency upon all would.
be rivalry or competition. The
town stands easily in the front Of
all the towns in the Cherokee ma
ton IN population and in business.

ONE of the most pathetic incl
dents connected with the territory
court legislation recently was the
report OF Judge Parker's expiring
grand jury. That, with the judge's
speech before the Indian commit.
tee in Washington were two of the
agencies that brought about such
prompt and speedy action on the
part OF congress. 1t would prob.
ably be in order for. the territory
on the first day of September, 1896
to present Fort Smith with three
dollar plaster paris bust of Parker
as memorial for past services.

THE Dawes commission has

the future are we have not been

will return to the territory some

Carolina and ex-Indian Ccommis-

THERE are five other attorneys
charged with the same offense
which John II. Beck was convict
ed at Fort Smith. They are
Campbell Taylor, J. l.. Skaggs,
Bob Hambleton, John E. Welch
and John C.. Duncan. If all the
Cherokee lawyers who are guilty
of this offense were in custody the
Fort Smith Jail would be very
much crowded.

THE CHIEFTAIS prints today the

the first Of all the territory papers
to do so, and in addition TO the
bill it prints the masterly speech
of its author, Senator Morgan,
which, without doubt, had much
to do with its passage.

most unpopular one. 1t is not
overstating the matter to say that

A RIDICULOUS CLAIM.
British Embassador Asks $46,OOO for
an Assault on the Dawsons.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. Ex-Governor Hol-
comb to-day received letter from Secre-
tary Olney inclosing the request of the Brit
ish ambassador for $4,000. growing out OF
the assault OF the English family of Daw-
sons in Nebraska by the McCarty outlaw
gang. The Dawsons claim their property
was damaged 10 that extent by the alleged
outlaw band. The claim in Nebraska is re-
garded as not only ridicuiouS, but absurd.
All the property the Dawsosis had at the
time was contained in a small wagon drawn
by two bronchos, and the outfit was prob
ably worth 500. They were attempting to
trade horses with Vic McCarty, a local
tough and the leader of a gang OF ruffians
A free fight resulted, in which the Dawsons
soundly thrashed the McCartys. who sought
safety in flight. That ended the incident.

WASHINGTON. Dec. eft can be stated
on authority that the rumor which has
gained some currency to the effect that the

and. later in the day, Secretary Olney and
Secretary Carlisle. The general situation
was discussed informally, but the question
of an immediate issue of bonds was not
considered. Indeed. IL Is stated that in
view OF the Presidents very recent mes
sage to Congress asking for legislation
which might render another issue unneces-
sary, II would be scant courtesy 10 that
body to anticipate its negative action be-
fore an opportunity had been given 1t to
comply with the Presidents recommends
tion. The President has himself repeatedly

public credit at whatever cost should the
necessities OF the situation require, but
at the present moment Ii is argued such
necessities hive not arisen. Moreover
Ii Is doubted whether, in view or the pres
ent state Of the money market at home
and abroad, a large loan could be hoated
except at a great sacrifice to the govern
ment. Nor is the danger OF large with
drawals of gold for export regarded as be-
ing so imminent now as under the condi-
tions which have prevailed at times dur
ing the past several years. With money
at % per cent. it is not seen how exporters
can AFFORD 10 make any shipments or gold,
and for this reason the apprehension OF
large Withdrawals which were predicted be-
fore the break in the market occurred Is
no longer felt. There seems 10 be, how
ever, no reasonable doubt that, should
heavy gold shipments be resumed, and Con-
gress fail to pass any remedial legislation,
the President would act on the authority
he already has and issue bonds to any
amount which the situation might justify.
But until these contingencies have arisen,
1t is stated most positively that no ac-
ton will be taken in this direction.

Tales from Shakespeare they will en-
joy, but a child who has read those
will soon want to read the great
dramas for himself.
On English literature the familiar
talks of Abby Sage Richardson are
delightful.
Occasionally read the little ones a
sermon or essay. For we must not
forget to develop the moral and
spiritual side of a child's nature. I
do not deem it necessary for me to
speak of the Bible as all, most all,
children learn of its beauties and
truths both at home and in the Sab
bath school. But as biographies of
noble men and women are very help
ful-read to children some of the
grand thoughts of Epictetus and
Marcus Antonious.
Children need current literature as
we'll as books, and some magazines
should be especially taken for them.
What could be more attractive than
"St. Nicholas" full as it is of tales of
adventure, travel, history, sketches of
cities and people, papers on Natural
History, stories and verses. Let us
remember that "Art is long and time
is feeting" and select for our children
only what is pure and helpful and
instructive, as we'll as interesting.
Books should serve many purposes,
not only to cultivate the memory, i'm
agination, and reason; but to fill our
minds and hearts with true and lofty
thoughts. Therefore when we secure
to our children the companionship of
good books, we have the sweet as
surance that they are among friends,
for they "are never alone when accom-
panied by noble thoughts"

BOOKS FOR THE YOUNG.
BY MARY GARFIELD VALENTINE

This excellent paper was prepared for the
Sunday-school meeting of the California Con-
yeniion at San Diego, and is now first published.
Many of our readers will be interested in
knowing that the writer is daughter of the
late Rev. E. Garfield of Wisconsin. She is
President of the Literary Society of Coronado,
and is highly esteemed as literary worker of
considerable promise .-EDIToR.]

This is the Golden Age of juvenile
literature, but among the hosts of
books, written for the young, it is
necessary to discriminate. Indiscrim-
mate reading is almost as much to
be avoided as no reading at all, yet
plenty of good literature should be
provided for the children. Good
fairy tales will do no harm and every
child should be familiar with the
charming stories of Lewis Carol,
"Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice
Through the Looking Glass" All
children we may presume are familiar
with Robinson Crusoe," "The Swiss
Family Robinson" Esop's Fables"
and "The Arabian Nights" 'Undine"
and "Sintram" are not SO we'll known,
but they possess pathetic charm
that cannot fail to interest child. l
will just mention Kate Douglass
Wiggin, Mary Mlpes Dodge and Mrs.
Burnett, all of whom have written de-
lightful children's stories. / Iremem-
ber the pleasure a certain little girl
derived from that lovely book of Miss
Wilkins, "Young Lucretia" and other
stories.
1t is not necessary to extend this
list of story-tellers for the young.
Miss Alcott's name is a household
word, and no juvenile library is com
plete without her works. Other
writers will suggest themselves, but
as too many stories are as bad for the
mind as too many sweets for the
stomach, let me suggest that histories,
travels and science be given the
child as soon as he is able to compre-
hend them. What story is more fas-
cinating than Walter Scott's Tales
of a Grandfather" A very young
child will follow the fortunes of Rob
ert the Bruce, Sir William Wallace
and other heroes with intense interest.

Many OF those who cry out against the

to prevent the oppression of the poor and
the afflicted, there would be less taking
OF exorbitant rates of interest from tbe
poor and less evasion of taxes by the
rich, such as is practiced today in our
cities; there would be more care for the
widows, the fatherless and motherless:

enough by some in the upbuilding If

we can discriminate; if need be we
can select, for after omitting all that as
even the appearance of evil, there is
world of truth and inspiration in it's
pages. And if we would avoid schism
and preserve the Christian religion, we
must hold fast to, and make an actual,

ence to accomplishing the absolute
purity and spirituality it implied, and
discipline in harmony Herewith
discipline with charity for all and
malice toward none, were established
factors in his missionary system and
general ministrations. And these
provisions, no less than bis ministra-
tions, are to be considered of the
same high order of authority, and in
respect to which nothing can be
added or subtracted without infring-
ing upon the spirit of Christ or de-
stroying its vehicle, to the children
of men.
What the particular credible
form of sound words-was, is not de-
termined at the present time. Yet its
essential reproduction from the Epis-
ties and the Gospels were not unrea-
sonable. And an attempt at this is
seen, and in some measure of success,
in probably every Christian formula,
with the chances for being nearest
right remaining always with those
who are most intimate with the spirit
as well as the letter of the Sacred
text. While then, no creed may be
at the present time wholly equal to
that of the Apostle, and none as un-
changeable as was theirs, the apostles
supplied the precedent for creeds and
working under creeds, and the same
conditions of human nature that then
rendered a creed necessary are still
present with the church. And the
same failures that then stood ready
to characterize a Pauline movement
without creed, are ready also to en-
sue today, wherever an opening shall
appear by the absence of creed and
executive government. The dissent
ers from this policy were then pro-
portionately as numerous and clam
orous as now. They logically and
speedily followed their ways into
oblivion, when the initial imitation
was over and the demand for the
substance of religion was imperious
Paul and his party grew and pre-
vailed over all obstacles and are here
today, with the world largely trans
formed under their hands. This is
past history. The future will be the
same. The same class-the broad,
so-called liberals, etc will have their
noise and swirl, and when the dust
settles, there will be nothing left that
can be photographed; while to con-
servative Christianity, by whatever
denominations name, there will not
cease to be erected churches that will
be filled with the salt of the earth
called there by the ever renewed hun
ger for that ancient bread that came
down from heaven.
