CHIEF HARRIS is accredited with
advising Chief Bigheart, of the
Osages, to oppose allotment. He
told him the present land tenure
was better than any other and if the
government was determined to
allot the Indian lands the best
thing to do was to throw the re.
sponsibility on the government.
If there was an avenue at hand to
correct any evils which might re-
suit fron the governments one
sided trade there might be some
logic in Chief Harris position, but
there will be none and what is
done will be done for all time and
hence the giving of such advice to
the ignorant is little less than a
crime. And in this connection il
is worth while to recollect that the
Osages have no patent to their
colintry.

TROUBLE IN THE FAMILY.

1t is pretty generally understood
that the U. S. court officials at
Muskogee are not getting along to-
gether the best in the world. A
version Of their differences is found
in the following dispatch from
Washington, sent out during Judge
Stuart's recent visit:
1t is claimed that there is some
trouble between United States At.
torney Jackson on the one side
and Stuart and Marshal McAlester
on the other. 1t is also claimed
that Jackson hae a better pull with
the department than the other two.
The trouble originated by Attor-
ney Jackson insisting that the fees
of certain officials should be cut
down in the interest of the govern
meni and the litigants, while Stu
at and McAlester took the other
side of the question. The depart
ment has so far sustained Attorney
Jackson, and this is one of the
reasons why the two are here now.
Judge Stewart explained to the
attorney general that he would
like to have the court bill, which
passed the senate last session, be-
come law. This is the bill that
will injure the present fee crowd
less than any other pending. and
hence the desire to have il passed,
provided it is necessary to pass
anything. This is the only bill
the Indian delegates want passed,
and the only bill the Indian lobby
wants passed, provided it will pre-
vent the passage CT some other bill
less desirable to them, by reason
of interfering with their fees.
The bill Stuart wants passed
does not interfere with the clerks
fees; il does not provide for any
more clerks; Marshal McAlester
can preside over the entire coun-
try, and nice fees can be collected
from long hauls on Indians charged
with selling liquor. Nor does the
bill interfere with the Paris and
Fort Smith courts, which pleases
all the way around. Judge Stuart
intends to remain here some time,
and try TO get things fixed to his
notion.

The editorial tribute to Major
Kidd in last weeks Indian Chief
tain is Just. The commission
came here in March last and we
have had ample opportunity to
know the man. He is energetic,
courageous and capable. He is
remarkably we'll posted on the In
dian laws and treaties, and the
property complications and polit-
ical aud social conditions in this
territory. 1t is doubtful IL either
Of his able colleagues excels him
in this regard. He has prosecuted
the work assigned him with COM
mendable energy and sagacity,
and not as one sent on pleasure
tour at the government expense.
He has not hesitated 10 call exist
ing abuses in this country by their
right names, and at all times has
shown himself the answering
friend OF the poorer Indians OF the
five tribes. He has tried with all
his might TO accomplish the work
he was sent TO do, aud If he has
incurred the enmity Of some Of the
leaders opposed to change IL is be-
cause he has pressed them pretty
hard 10 accede to the wishes Of his
government and has been an in
dustrious and pushing member Of
the commission. He is the right
man In the right place. --McAl-
ester Capital.

The Real Remedy.

Judge Parker Of the United
States district coart for the western
district of Arkansas seems to be in
Washington opposing any change
in the condition of the Indian Ter.

business in life is sentencing to
death the swarming murderers
bred in the territory, himself re-
sides in the state Of Arkansas. In
the comfortable city Of TT. Smith.
He does not suffer in his own per-

ance Of the present barbarism in

NoTwITHsTANDIEG the fact that
Sam Mayes seems TO be the only
candidate that will get any votes
to speak of in the upper districts,
his friends should see to il that his
fences are looked after in the lower
districts. There is some danger
in over-confidence. Everybody
feels now that Mayes will be the
next chief and that Ross is not in
the. race, and this same feeling OF
confidence may beget carelessness
and inactivity. Every man who
cares to preserve the integrity Of
the nation and keep safe men at
the head of public affairs should
lose no opportunity from now on
to say a good word for Samuel H.
Mayes.

1T must be difficult to explain
why council, while in session, did
not devise some means for raising
additional revenue. To allow the
institutions of the country to suffer
on account OF insufficient means
and leave debts unpaid and draw
ing interest looks like doubtful
statesmanship. By the time coun-
Gil convenes again the public debt
will have increased so that it will
be a harder pull than ever to get
a bill through that would relieve
the country.

A QUESTION that forces itself up

A QUESTION that forces itself up,
on the minds of the thinking por-
zion Of our people is, chow long
can the Cherokee nation afford to
sssnd such expensive delegations to
congress, and does the nation gel
i4alve received?" 1t is generally
<onceded that the life of the Cher
okee nation, and of the FIVE tribes
isin danger, and that if a strong
delegation is not sent each year
that congress will forget the treaty
stipuiations and put an end TO
these Indian governments. Hence
the question involuntarily comes
TO all the citizens of this country,
"how long can we keep up the
fight?"

trading off the Usage country for a

DEATH OF PRESIDENT SMooT.

Although not unexpected, the death
of President SnOot yesterday shocked
the entire community. The grand old
hero of the pioneer days Of Utah.
passed gently into the eternal rest al
4:lO Yesterday afternoon, surrounded
by his children and neighbors and
other attached friends. Thus has fall
len one cf the character men Of the
esrly days OF Utah history. A great,
strong and rugged manhood was
quenched when death come to INN.
He was of the stuff out Of which ne
rOes are made, His life was devoted to
the church, to his family aud friends. A
mau of the strictest honor with heart
attuned to synpathy, useful citizen,
not of Utah alone but of the union, a
patriot and a sincere lover of his race.
The universal gloom which .enwraps
the community is a mute but eloquent
te; timonial to the worth of the man
and the estimate put upon his char
acter by those who have known him
longest.
May the Good Father comfort his
wife and children and commend to US
who are left behind, the worth of the
splendid example he has left for our
guidance.

IT is tearfully touching TO note how
the Tribune rejoices over the seating OF
JohnIHenIy Smith of the Third precinct,
and his election as the presiding officer
of the convention. We wonder if John
Henry himself and MS Mormon friends
can loUk upon all this as the honest
qualification OF an honorable but con
verted foe. The history OF Utah for
the past twenty-five years is but the
record Of the strife, bad blood and
bitter hatred of this paper, 1t would
only be natural if q doubt of the rsper's
utter and entire sincerity should now
and then creep into the hearts Of lead
ing Mormon republicans like John
Henry Saith, Joseph F. Smith and

don't have to.

The Herald writes Interestingly on
the subject of elevating the press of
Utah. The way to do that is to furnish
itw.th an income. There isn't much
chance to elevate a newspaper when
itg editor is compelled to work day and
night for bare living. aud then re-
cieve his pay in chips and whetstones,
with an occasional basket Of rotten
turnips ami the like. We doubt if
there is a single paper in Utah making
FIVE per cent. clear on the investment.
Elevate the income and the grade OF
the papers will soon 90 up. A starve-
ling writer finds it difficult to write
brilliantly. An occasional excursion or
dinner at the Alta club are all right
in their way, but not elevating.
