.Sfy.ST4TNING WR, 0LNEY.

MT. Garland, who was Attorney General in President Cleveland's first cabinet, and who is regarded in Washington as Q lawyer of high standing and great ability; sustains the position taken by Mr. Olney. He says that sthe power to recog- nize the independence of govern ment is the exclusive province of the executive, and the legislative branch of this government can only exercise supervisory powers. The Supreme Court has dealt with this question but once, to my knowledge. There is a decision in tfe cotton eases brought to the Supreme Court after the civil war defining very vaguely belIigerent rights and the power to recognize the inde- pendence of governments. In that decision it stated that the power to recognize the independence of D government rests solely with the President
 0Commenting on the above, the New Orleans Stotes says
 Judge Miller, who was Attor- ney-General in the cabinet of Presi- dent Harrison. agrees fully with the opinion of Ms Garland, and in a public letter on the subject of the recognition of the independence of Cuba quotes from the decisions of circuit courts and by the Supreme Court, rendered by Judge Story and Justice Mclean, holding that the duty of recognizing new govern ments that from time to time may arise, belongs exclusively to the President, and his decision is ob- ligatory upon the people ot the gov ernment
 "rhe fnct cannot be doubted that Secretary Olney has taken q very strong position from which it is in,- possible for the jingoes in and out of the Senate to dislodge him; and his report to Congress, sustained as 1t is by many eminent legal authorities, has had the happy effect of calming the American people who for brief spell were excited with war talk, and at the same time it has so crippled the Cameron reso- lution that that iil-considered meas ure has no chance now of getting through the Senate.
 This is admitted by Senator Thurston and other prominent members of Congress who advocate the immediate recognition of Cuba as free and independent republic. Of course when Congress assemblies after the holidays, Senators Morgan, Vest, Sherman and other iingoes will join issue with Secretary Olney and the Cameron resolution will be the subject of many heated debates. but nothing vii. come out of the talk, but should vote be taken the resolution would be defeated. The people Of this country know that President Cleveland and Secretary Olney are right and will stand by tha.,,

The True Newspaper.

The making of a newspaper in
these progressive days has become
as much business as the manu-.
featuring of a watch or piano, and
is necessarily subject to the same
practical rules and business meth
DDS that control any other business S
undertaking.
The successful newspaper is not
the blind party organ;" not an
old fOgy issue moss grown with
timidity. but a fresh, bright issue
that dares to utter the truth re-
gardless OF the oulcry its utterances
may provoke, that will be con-
trolle1 by no outside influence, no
secret monopoly, no mighty corpo-
ration to influence its judgment
and direct its policy; that will la
Dor with earnestness TO maintain
the sway of virtue and all that is
good over the public mind; that
always keeps its columns clear and
free from anything that our wives
and daughters should not read and
in the midst of all temptation will
always refuse to crook the hinges
of the knee THAT thrift may follow
fawning.-Glens Falls New York.

FORT SMITH LETTER.
SmallpOx-A Gar Load of Prisoners
Transported.

Judge Parker and Mrs. Parker
went to St. Louis Sunday to take
a short vacation. Judge Parker is
Just completing his twenty first
year as judge of the United States
court here.
Smallpox has broken out among
the bridge hands at work on the
bridge at Redland. One of the sick
men came here before quarantine
was established but was immedi-
ately sent to the pest house. He
died Sunday. Another infected
man came in Friday from a camp
further down the road and is now
in the pest house. No cases have
broken out here and no danger is
anticipated.
John McGill had a narrow es-
cape from the pen. Judge Parker
first fixed his punishment at a
term over the road, but afterwards,
in consideration of McGill's servi-
ces and the fact that his conviction
was upon the testimony of self
confessed lawbreskers, reduced it
to a tern in Jail.
Maude Allen, well known wo-

CONGRESSMAN Little Interviewed.

The Little Rock (Ark J Gazette's
Washington correspondent had an
interview with Congressman Little
relative to the Indian Territory in
cident in which the congressman
was burned in effigy at Ft. Gibson.
Congressman Little said: at is
but a natural index of sentiment of
the lawless element Of that coun
try. There is not nor has there
ever been a court house at Fit. Glib
son, and the dispatch erred in the
statement that the burning was
prompted by my having intro
duced a bill to remove the court
from that place, and | suppose
their outburst was an expression
of disapproval of my bill to retain
jurisdiction of the Ft.Smith, Ark,
and Paris, Tex. courts as to higher
crimes in the Indian Territory.
1.-The local courts In the Indian
Territory are crowded with work
and it was in the hope of increas-
ing the efficiency of all courts and
if possible cope with and hold in
check the wholesale crimes in that
country that we are seeking to re-
tain these courts, and | do not won
der that the outlaws and thugs of
that country object to, and adopt
any method that will tend to de-
feat the jailing and neck breaking
power of courts which they have
so long and successfully lodged.
Instead of deterring me in my
course, this action upon the part of
to the advance of civili-
zation will only increase my zeal
and ardor TO continue the fight un-
til the last vestage of such lawless-
ness and outlawry is wiped from
the face of that fair land and the
present chaos is supplanted by
law, order, honest and industrious
citizenship, enlightenment and the
American flag"
"And another noticeable fact"
continued Mr.. Little, sis FIT. Glib
son is the home of Verdigris Kid,
Cherokee Bill and divers and sun
dry other celebrated outlaws of the
same stripe. 1t is the most natural
thing in the world, after the exc
cution of Cherokee Bill the other
day and after he had been placed
in sod beside his former compan-
ions, and the women had beaten
their breasts and bewailed the de-
parture of the leaders of the COM
and the men had whooped
the old whoop of vengeance and
pierced the air with bullets, that
they should adjourn and vent their
wrath upon those who are seeking
to continue the work of extermina-
ton OF these enemies of society.

Indian Territory Courts.

1t is all right for Representative
in Congress ID. B. Culberson of the
Fourth Texas District to advocate
perpetuity of the jurisdiction of the
federal court at Paris over Indian
Territory crimes.
Paris is in Mr.. Culberson's dis.
trict, and some of his constituents
are incidentally benefited by the
hanging and jailing of criminals
taken to Paris for detention and
trial.
Likewise it is all right for Rep
resentative in Congress John Se-
bastian Little of the Second Arkan.
sls District to advocate perpetuity
of the juris fiction of Judge Par
ker's court at Fit. Smith over In.
dian Territory crimes.
Fort Smith is in Mr.. Little's dis
trict and Sebastian county, his
home, is one of his chief strong
holds in the district which stretches
southeast across the state from the
territory almost to the Mississippi
river.
But for the rest of the southwest
the bill reported by Mr.. Little
from the house committee on Judi
ciary on Thursday last, for the con-
tinuance OF these jurisdictions, is
all wrong.
The fifty-third congress, which
was democratic, enacted a law TO
abolish these jurisdictions and cre-
ated courts to deal with territory
crimes within the territory. Un-
der that law the Paris and Fort
Smith Jurisdictions will soon ex-
pire by Limitation, and the terri
tory will have as close an approx
nation 10 home rule as is possible
under the present clumsy and bar
barous tribal organization.
Let the law of the fifty-third
congress stand. 1t is the first step
towards effacing a foul blot upon
southwestern civilization. Saint
Louis Republic.

The subcommittee OIL Indian
affairs is one that is heartily in ia
vor of disruption, abrupt and radi-
ical. Yet, here we sit with folded
hands, our demagogues crying that
there is yet ample time left in
which the Cherokees may wind up
their business and prepare for
change. We have said before, and
we say it again, that it is our duty
to ourselves and those dependent
upon Us, to begin preparing for the
melancholy, though inevitable
doom that is rapidly bearing down
upon US. A hand from out the
darkness of the future is warning
us. but still we stand by, seeming

THE CHIEFTAIN would regret ex-
ceedingly TO print in its columns
anything SO unchaste that the wo-
men and children of the homes in
to which it goes could not read it
without being shocked at its open
and shameless vulgarity. God pity
the man or the newspaper that
stoops to bedraggle the private
character of an imaginary oppo-
nent, and who seemingly has no
other means OF attack and defense
than TO try TO darken the home of
the innocent and inoffending. We
have in the minds eye an old man
whose hair is silvered with the
frosts of many winters, and whose
form is bent with the burdens and
cares of a stormy life, but whose
mind is so warped by the ;ndulg-
ence of unholy passion, and whose
soul is dwafsed and driven in by
long and constant service of the
evil one, as to have long since lost
the last glimpse of all that is good
and pure in this world. The pic
ture is that of passage il human
life, an object lesson by which we
all should profit. 1t is like the
decaying topmasts of some noble
ship that has gone down amid the
breakers of unbridled passion, and
in the roar and thunder of life's
tempestuous sea, and remains a
warning to other vessels to steer
clear of the same shoals. The mis-
erable wretch that seeks solace for
imaginary wrongs in slander and
low inuendo which involves the
tender and helpless ones lis poor
indeed" and should be an object Of
mingled pity and scorn.

DR.. TALMAGE in a recent address
in the interest of home missions
said: There is what in America
we call Socialism, in France Com
munism, and in Russia Nihili-m-
three names for one and the same
thing, and having but two doc
trines in its creed, first, there Is no
God; second, there shall be no
rights of property" This utter
ance certainly contains great deal
of truth, and there is hardly a
neighborhood probably in the
United States that is not cursed
with one or more of the kind of
men that hold to the above creed.
We have men here who are bitter
ly opposed to the Indian govern
ment, and are just as much op-
posed to the United States
government. With them the coun-
try is always approaching a crisis,
and its destruction is momentarily
expected. One of the symptoms
of Nihilism is a strange hallucina-
tion for mixing theology and the
money question, and in the discus
sion of which they never tire,
though they may not be able to
distinguish the difference between
a verb and a noun. Another sign
is, they generally totally disregard
the Sabbath; this is probably be-

DRESSING THE HAIR.
Some Sensible Suggestions for the Young
Ladies.


The prettiest way to arrange your
hair? Especially if it is very long, very
thick, and n most beautiful color, vet
cannot be worn hanging down in braids,
because you are too tall for any ything so
childish, nor fastened up in a graceful
Psyche knot ut the back of the head,
quite near the neck, because il is too
heavy. and comes tumbling down at in
convenient seasons. Lovely hair, but
an embarrassment OF riches, is il not?
If it were my hair, and | were the
dear young girl who finds it a bother
and burden, | would coil it up on top
of my head and wear il like a crown. /
wouldn't mind its having the effect of
making me look taller. and | would
stard up very straight, and look as tall
rs | could. In my opinion height is
beauty, and | never care about girls
being tall, except to admire her. Tall
girls must mind that they carry them
selves well. and do not stoop nor crane
their head forward as if they had lost
something and were perpetually look
ing for it. You remember Tennyson's
picture, do you not. 4 word picture such
as only poet could paint:
"A daughter of the gods,
Divinely tall, and most div.nely fair"
IL the corcslal effect were unbecom-
ing. or gave Il feeling of weight on top
of my head, then would braid the hair
in several strands, and mass it All over
the back of the head. l would simply
part it in thu middle. and avoid fringes,
and bangs. and little curls. crimps, and
other attempts at decoration in front.
When hair has natural wave or ripple
il is very pretty, and should have it's
way, but straight hair il pretty too, and
girls should be satisfied to wear their
hair in the sty'e nature intended for
them.-Harpers' Round Table.

We must congratulate THE In.
DIAN CpIEFTAIN of Vinita upon the
straightforward, honorable course
it pursued during the smallpox ep-
idemic in its city. 1t, unlike most
newspapers in towns and cities,
did not try to hide matters and
thus endanger the lives of many;
but it gave the facts as they were
and made no mystery of them, and
by this line of action has earned
the respect and confidence of its
readers and the public at large.
1t is, we believe, the right course
to pursue in such cases and does a
town more good than an opposite
course could do. We are pleased
to learn that the disease is about
stamped out in Vinita and must
congratulate the board of health of
the city on their prompt and Wig
orous action in preventing its
spread -Bartlesville Magnet.
