LOOKS LIKE FRAUD.
The chIeksaw Freedmen Being Worked
thOrIty From Dawes Commission.

For some time past it has been
known by a few gentlemen that
certain parties were working
among the negroes, known as
the Chickesaw freedmen, claim
ing to act under the authority
of the Dawes Commission. The
scheme, as the ARDMOREITE
learns; is manipulated by two
attorneys, h. V. Belt of Wash
ington and j. p. Mullins of
Fort Smith. They appoint
from among the negroes a
committee whose duty it is to
canvass among their people
charging each one who desires
to be enrolled by the Dawes
Commission a fee of one dollar.
They claim that for this sum
they will insure enrolment. The
committee so operating in this
section is as follows: Charles
Cohee, Isaac G. Kemp, George
Hall and Mack Stevenson.
Acting on the belief that the
scheme was a fraud Judge John
Hmkle wrote Major McKennon
of the Dawes Commission in re-
gard to it. In reply he has re-
ceived the following:
VINITA. /. r., Aug. II, '96.
John Hinkle, Esq, Ardmore,
/. II.
Dear Sir-In reply to yours
of the 10th inst, ] can give you
no information in regard to the
enrolling of the Chickasaw
freedmen.
| see nothing they can do at
the present to advance their
interest. We understand that
we may be required to settle the
question as TO whether freed
men are citizens of the Chicka-
saw nation or not. This will
cause n thorough investigation
by us ofall laws on that subject.
Should we find them entitled to
such right if will become our
duty to enroll them. Should we
find them not entitled to this
right that will end our duty to-
ward them. We understand
that there are persons in the
Chickasaw nation pretending to
enroll the Chickasaw freedmen
by authority of this commits
sion, We have not authorized
any one to do anything of the
kind, because we are not au-
thorized ourselves to do so.
Your friend,

4. 5. MCKENNON.

The above letter is emphatic
enough to satisfy all interested
parties that in recognizing
this committee every man
who pays his dollar is
simply being robbed of that
amount. The committe may,
and no doubt is, innocent of
any wrong intention; if so they
will make further investigation
before progressing with their
labors. If they fail to investi-
gate, then the officers should
take action for the protection
of those being robbed.

the democratic organs of goldbug pro-
clivity.
We do not believe that this is the
year either for Russell or Pattison.
They are known 10 be hostile to silver
although last Wednesday. in Chicago.
Mr. Pattison declined to say that he
would refuse to run on a silver plat
form. Probably the Chicago conven-
ton will abide by the two-thirds rule
in making nomination for the presi-
dency. Silver's friends are not expect
ing to be two-thirds strong in the con-
vention, but If all goes well in Indiana.
Illinois and Michigan. as now seems
probable, silver will have a majority
for the framing of the national plat
form. If that happens. the Chicago
convention will announce views which.
we suspect, will put the two ex- COVER
nors out of the race.

OBSERVE 1T.

The law of this state says that
throughout Montana the second Tues
day in May shall be known as Arbor
day. 1t is made the duty of the COVER
nor to issue annually his proclamation
setting apart the day for the plant
ing of trees and for the identifying OF
homes, cemeteries, highways, public
grounds and landscapes" 1t is also
made the duty of teachers in the public
schools to give special attention to the
day and it's significance. Governor
Richards has issued his proclamation,
the superintendent of public instruction
has written a letter to the teachers, ac-
companying this with an outline of
programme for the use of the children.
In his proclamation Governor Rick
ards aptly remarks that ''in no section
of the country can the customs of Ar
Dor day be observed with more pro-
priety and with better results than in
Montana" In doing so much for what
is beneath the surface in Montana, in
the way of mineral wealth, Nature has
not been as lavish here respecting some
of the adornments that delight the eye
and charm the senses. 1t has been
found, however, that lawn and shade
and shrub flourish almost everywhere
in this region when reasonable
amount of care is given to them.
We trust that. especially in Ana
conda. the observance of Arbor day
will be general. Treeless at first, thds
city shows to-day the gratifying re-
suits following the efforts of citizens
who have taken a little pains in adorn-
ing their premises with shade. The
Anaconda Townsite company is just
now in receipt of $500 young trees
which IL is believed will thrive here
wbthin two years hundreds of trees
have been set out by individuals. and
the percentage of successes is large
We presume that the Anaconda schoo
children will observe the second Tues
day in May, but 1t would be especial!
gratifying IL the owners of the hun
dreds of comfortable homes that have
been built here within year will Sc
Arbor day apart as an occasion for {
general tree planting.

IN ILLINOIS.

This f. the important day for the
Illinois republicans; the proceedings in
their state convention will furnish sew
eral significant political pointers. Chi
cage gossip has been TO the effect that
Senator Cullom has not proved to be
savorite son of great account in the
winning of district delegates-all sorts
OF predictions have been given out re-
'specting his strength. or, rather. his
weakness.
Governor McKinley's agents have
worked hard in Illinois; they make
their usual bold claims of support II
they capture Illinois, then Mckinley
will not have many more constituent
cies to conquer: then. indeed. Mr.. Han
ma will begin to whoop II up for Nc
Kinley. Recent gossip from Illinois Is
TO the effect that the republican con-
vention in that state will not instruct
its delegates: that course. 1t is alleged.
would be as much of an April victory
as Mckinley is asking for-he cannot
expect to repeat the tactics which, In
Minnesota. knocked Senator Davis
completely out.

of the Washington Post which ran this
way: 1T is high time for Hon. Thorn
as Il. Reed to take his protege. Bar
rett, by the ear and lead him to some
seauestered dell and do something inn
portant to his head. Barrett appears
to be sadly over-saturated with a mis-
sion. Some fresh congressman come
here to reform us. others to educate u.s.
others to rescue the country. Barretts
mission evidently is to inoculate the
rest of mankind with his own estimate
of himself"
Then the Post goes on to recite how
those who remain in Washington wit
ness the entrances and exits Of hum
bugs. mountebanks. upstarts, popin-
jays and swellheads." how they strut
their little hour and then disappear,
how they blow up and explode. And
the Post thereupon renews its request
that Speaker Reed take his little Will

head

MORE of IT.

Another Pacific-slope republican
heard from. This time II is a member
of the executive committee of the re-
he halls from Tacoma. This republican
says that the producers on the coast
are beginning to make up their minds"
According to his testimony their mind
is that protection is worth more than
free silver, and that gold with protec-
tion is better than free trade with free
silver
OF course, this mans testimony, in
significant as il is, gets on the wires
and goes to the country. with the aim
of spreading the report that the West
is weakening on silver. The fact re-
mains. however. that. leaving certain
republican leaders out of account, the
state of Washington is for silver; and
that is true also of Oregon.
This is the moment when the Rocky
Mountain states ought to be prompt
and vigorous with their announcement
OF answering loyalty to free coinage.
In the Bast political affairs are shaping
very rapidly: the feature of this month
is in the marked gains the cause of sill
yer has made in anticipation of the
democratic national convention.
For this reason. we are hoping that
an early date will be named for the
democratic convention in Montana A
late meeting may be neither here nor
there in whatever influence 1t might
exert on distant states. But a ringing
declaration promptly made might be
of some account. Ii would show that
Montana stands firm and true; 1t would
help to break down the assertion dill
gently circulated in the East that the
West Is weakening.

GREATER NEW YORK.

Greater New York means a great
deal. II means the second largest city
in the world. London has 100000 in
habitants with an area of $50 square
miles. Greater New York has at least
1900, 900 inhabitants with an area of $50
square miles Greater New York has an
assessed valuation of s2.61S.s45.461 The
total valuation Of the entire state of
New York is 1920. 0S2.1 Greater
New York will pay a total tax Of at
least SIS, zoo, 900 annually. Greater New
York will have twenty-one state sena-
tors out of total of fifty, and fifty
eight members of the lower house of
the legislature out of a total of $50.
The fight over Greater New York has
been a long and bitter one. The Tri-
bune has vehemently opposed the bill.
The Sun, the Journal. the Times and
the World have approved OF II, believ-
sng that the enlarged municipality viii
be a great and beneficial achievement.
Although the bill has passed the legis-
lature and been signed by the governor.
Greater New York will not be an ac-
complished fact until January 1, 1898
The next thing on the programme is q
commission to frame Greater New
york's charter.

NOT THEIR YEAR.

The democrats of Massachusetts, de-
sire the nomination of Ex-Governor
Russen,for the office Of president. That
gentleman is also understood to be in
favor with democracy in Rhode Island.
These democrats also declare for the
maintaining of the gold standard Of
honest money" This week the Penn
sylvania democrats meet. They will
declare their preference for the gold
basis and probably recommend eX-
Governor Pattison for the nomination
to be made at Chicago.
These two are young men. In their
time they have scored notable victories
in states where heavy republican ma
jorities are usually recorded. Three
times Russell was elected governor 81
Massachusetts. Pattison was twice
elected governor Of Pennsylvania. In
ordinary times they would not be pre-

THE sPEAKER'S PROTEGE.

On occasion the Standard has re-
ferred to a bumptious upstart named
Barrett, a congressman from Massa-
chusetts who is on his first term in the
house and who started in bright and
early to make himself extensively con-
spicuous.
One day last week Barrett happened
TO be in the chair when a contested
election case was on. He made an out
rageously wrong ruling. whereupon the
house was instantly in confusion.
Barrett pounded away at the desk
with as much vigor as II he knew how
10 preside. Speaker Reed was hastily
summoned-he admitted that Barrett
had been completely in the wrong.
II appears from the testimony OF sew
eral washington correspondents that
Barrett has made a good many Of uh'

TUESDAY. APRIL g, 1896.

More testimony on the question OF
state convention time comes in this
mornings special dispatch from Liv-
ingston. Clearly enough, Park county
democrats are practically of one mind
they share the opinion of the
Standard that on all accounts the
democrats in this state ought to be
prompt. and that the chance of some
sort of laundering at st. Louis is a con-
tingency not worth waiting for. The
country knows now what will happen
at St. Louis. Montana democracy pro-
poses to do something different; and
that ought to be done reasonably soon.

MAKING HIN TROUBLE.

Mckinley is having plenty OF trouble
of the A p. A. sort. Last week some of
the leaders in that organization issued
a circular in which they urge the de-
feat of the Ohio man because he has
advocates in Archbishop Ireland, in
Thomas Carter and In Stephen Elkins,
whose daughter married a Romanist
The A. p. A. people will find 1T hard
to select among the leading candidates
for the presidency a man who lacks
Catholic support, but, at any rate. they
have set themselves in array against
Mckinley. The report that Mr.. Hanna
refused to go into conference with A. p.
A. leaders is persistently spread; that
gentleman refuses to be interviewed
in regard to the circular issued last
week.
Meanwhile, other forces are operating
to the annoyance of the leader in the
republican race. The Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette hopes that Mckinley
sis strong enough now to come out fat
footed against free coinage" This hope
finds an echo in many republican or
gans: they insist that the Ohio platform
will not do.
These organs may be sure that the
Ohio candidate will make no announce
ments on silver. All the signs, however,
point in the direction of a strong anti
silver resolution in the st. Louis plat
form
