A WOMAN'S QUESTIONS.
Puzzling as Usual And Likely to Re-
main Unanswered

Ever since the days of Millions
Eve women have been admonished
TO learn wisdom of their husbands,
and so hosts of us have been ask
ing questions, not always of our
husbands, for alas, great number
of US have none; but of our fathers
and brothers and sons as well.
With all Difference to them, and
with great kindliness and thank
fulness to them for valuable infor-
nation received, we still feel that
they might have done better for US,
or we might have done better had
we gained our information for our
selves from original sources
The following is question some
women have been asking for a
number of years: "What is the
difference between the democratic
and republican parties?" Seldom
have they received a clear, un-
biased, comprehensive answer.
Now must we come to the con-
clusion that most men are not suf-
ficiently informed on the IN alter,
or must we conclude that there is
no difference? There is more
cause for confusion this year than
ever. A similar split exists in
both parties. Money is the issue.
Bimetalists and monometalists are
fighting each other in both parties.
1t would seem to us that some are
working for their party name,
others for an individual, others for
a principle.
We have no patience with the
prominent speaker in congress this
year who said, Il am a democrat
and no matter what kind of a man
you nominate I'll vote for him, for
| am a democrat" We have no
patience with the cheers that
greeted that statement. Neither
have we much patience with the
vehement republicans. Itappears
to US that for some cause or other
the worst instead of the better and
nobler in these men at the wheel,
is being developed this year.
The love of money is the root of
all evil" nd the love of the dis
cussion of money may be at the
root of a good deal of evil this
year.
o, that we might have had a
moral issuel
Foreign nations consider us as
nation, greedy people, having
the dollar for our god; this year
will confirm them in this view
when they see that the men of our
country are squabbling about
whether our nations god shall be
made of gold or silver. No other
country would know that we have
any other national problem worth
mentioning.
How can they know that we, the
American women, are sufficiently
educated to become voting citizens?
We have asked for suffrage and
have not received it.
The vast and difficult labor ques-
ton remains unsolved and its agi-
tators, mostly of the Peoples par
ty, are ridiculed or ignored. The
liquor question OF the prohibition
party is still idled with, and the
and sale of alcohol |
poison is still licensed.
Are not we the women Of Amer
lea as well as foreign countries,
justified in thinking that recent
doings in high places are a re-
proach to any people, and as some
one has said, our men are substi-
tuting the golden calf Cor dollar)
'or the golden rule, and are neg
ecting God and home and native
and.

A peart Kansas editor offers a
silk shirt waist, a ready made es.
say and box of gum to the high
school girl who first sends correct
solution to the following problem.
A man purchased groceries to the
amount of thirty-four cents. When
he came to pay for the goods he
had only a dollar bill, a three cent
piece and a two-cent piece. The
storekeeper had half dollar and a
quarter. They appealed to a by
stander but he only had two dimes
and a penny. After some perplex-
ity the change was made to the
satisfaction of all.

ELSEWHERE in this issue is prin.
ted an article from the Chickasha
Gazette, headed MAKE a Test
Case" to which we call especial
attention. The rule that has been
laid down by the courts in this
district forces the filing and and
recording of all instruments al
Muskogee. Probably the court
itself would not maintain that
there is anything in the act Great
ing these Indian Territory courts,
or in the law adopted for the use
of the courts that would indicate
that such an unreasonable rule
should prevail. The rule forcing
the filing of all instruments at
Muskogee is very much like play
upon the good nature, or upon the
ignorance of the people of this ter
rltory. Ii we cannot get the relief
asked by simply agitating the
question, then let an action be
brought, and if that cannot be
maintained under existing law, the
matter will be ready to be pre-
sented to the law makers in Wash
ipgton next winter. This thing
concerns not only the people of
Vinita, but all of the towns of the
Northern district except Musko-
gee, and all the towns of the other
districts save Ardmore and South
McAlester, and all the people out
side of these places are interested.

Ii is like the man that has mo-
nopolized this country, and hcgged
everything in sight for the last
quarter of a century to now pro-
pose the destruction of what is left.
The hog that stands in the trough
with all four of his feet until his
hide is full is always the first to
get out and root it over. A prom
inent citizen, and a monopolist
from way back, said on the street
here the other day, that if the
Dawes commission were going. to
force us to divi lie up with 'niggers
and everybody, he was in favor of
burning it all up. What he meant
bu ''burning" we are unable to say.

September 1, 1896, marks the
emancipation of 100000 people
from judicial bondage. Our relief
from Arkansas and Texas serfdom
is too heartily welcome to our peo-
pie to permit the day Of our great
deliverance to pass unnoticed. The
Territorial Home Rule celebration
at Purcell, Chickasaw nation, is
intended to fittingly commemorate
the great event. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to every man,
woman and child in the territory
to come and rejoice with US. The
celebration will be held in beau
tiful grove capable of shading 25,-
600 people. A big barbecue free
to all. Speakers of national repu
tation will be present. Re- Union
of blue and gray. Amusements of
all kinds provided. Formal open
ing of the celebration at midnight,
Aug. 81, but amusements will be
provided to entertain the advance
crowd from noon of the 31st. Low
rates on all railroads, Entertain
ment for all.

Late advices from Vinita state
that the town is overlooking with
claimants from every state in the
union. and that claim attorneys
up there think they do poor bus
mess when they fall below $4,000
per day as fees. Claimants stay
in tents and wagons, and with the
families they have with them form
about one-fourth the population of
the town at present--Sentinel.
Now, gentlemen of the green
bag, we knew you were all doing
well but did not know the fees ran
into three figures a day. And
while we think of it, Saturday is
the first of the month.

A PROBLEM of vastly more i'm
portance than the financial ques-
tion confronts the Cherokee nation,
is the question of who is to share
in the ultimate division Of the
tribal property. If the lobbyists
were kept away from Tahlequah,
and the members left free, there
would be little danger of fraud.
But with the bought influence OF
many of the leaders, there is little
hope of fairness.
