A FAIR attendance of farmers
was present at the meeting last Sat
urday. The committee on bylaws,
after some amendments, were
adopted, but were afterward refer,
red back to the committee to be
perfected. All present seemed to
be confident that the right step is
being taken to advance the price
of farm produce, and those taking
the most active part say it Is sure
to become permanent organiza'
ton. Committees were appointed
to canvass the valley for the pur,
pose of raising the necessary stock,

SEVERAL times our attention has

SEVERAL times our attention has
been called to the social evil gong
on at our public dances and the
need of reform. This is delicate
subject to discuss through the
newspapers, but at the same time,
when q community is seriously
afflicted it must be met by strong
remedy. If the managers OF our
public halls do not undertake the
cure of these evils we shall un-
doubtedly do through this paper,
let it strike where it will. The
hall owners certainly know what
is going on at their dances, and
they also understand thoroughly
the only remedy there is for it.
This must be employed.

WOlcOtt In Europe.

Silver Knight-Watchma The in
difference of Germany on the question
of bimetallism, and their insistence
that nothing can be done unless Eng
land is willing to lead off induced Sen
ator Wolcott to tell them one plain
truth. He said
That the silver party in the United
States would gain complete victory in
1900, provided an international agree
ment on the money question was not
arrived at that before that date.
Every man Of intelligence who is
not blinded by avarice and greed will
agree with Mr.. Wolcott on this ques-
ton. The frantic efforts of the Repub.
lican leaders to do something to at
tract the attention of the people from
the intolerable evils Of gold standard
corroborates Mr.. Wolcott's statement.
Nobody is deceived about the deter
nation of the American people to
break the corner on gold except the
bankers and money lenders, whose sue
cess in browbeating, intimidating and
coercing, voters has made them mad
and deprived them Of all capacity to
understand the temper of the Ameri-
can people.

Chambers Speech.

Silver Knight Waterman: One of
the most remarkable events of last
session was the great bimetallic speech
of Senator Chandler. He portrayed in
graphic language the mser&s which
the human race must suffer If the sim
gle gold standard is maintained. He
proved by reason and authority that
bimetallism is practicable. and that
it has been maintained for thousands
of years, and that it's restoration would
be an inestimable boon to the suffering
masses. The speech Is valuable con-
tribution to the literature on the sub
ject of free coinage, but his method
of obtaining free coinage was an inter.
national agreement, a scheme which
has been tried for twenty-five years
and utterly failed. His position that
the United States alone has not the
power to restore silver was humiliat-
ing in the extreme.
His Endorsement of the goldite argu-
ment that we must look to England
and England alone, for relief, was I'M
patriotic and un-American and not in
keeping with his otherwise magnificent
effort. His position reminded us of a
professed Christian who would describe
the glories and blessings of righteous
ness and the horrors of damnation and
at the same time would admit his in
capacity to worship God without the
consent of the devil.

From the Nebraska Independent: In
the great trans Missouri country, half
of the territory of the entire Union,
the Populist party was practically born.
There it flourishes in its greatest
strength to-day. OF the twenty-four
POpulist congressman in the next
house, sixteen came from west of the
Missouri. OF the eight Populist SEN
ators who will sit in the next United
States senate, seven hail from trans
Missouri states. OF the six POpulist
governors now in the, Union, every
one of them presides over states be-
tween the Missouri and the Golden
Gate. OF the six speakers who belong
to the Peoples party, every one of
them preside over houses to the west
of the Missouri OF the various state,
municipal and county officers elected
by the Peoples party, three-fourths Of
them belong to this same section. In
the thirteen states of the transmits
souri, region are nearly half the Peo-
pies party votes and fully half the
Peoples party papers of America. The
Populists of this eAtire section are a
unit for free silver and williresent any
thing that has the slightest appear
ance of an attempt to shelf the silver
question. Anybody who contemplates
changing the fighting issue" had bet
ter consult the Populists of the trans
Missouri country before going too far
with his plans. If he does not, he is
liable to hear something that might
shock him. These people have no kind
of use for creatures of the Nandervoort
; stripe; 1t is for this reason that they
have lost confidence in the Reform
Press association and for the same rea-
son they will stand solidly behind the
organization of q new association at
Kansas City on the 22d. They resented
the calling of the original association
lat Memphis, where it was practically
impossible for them to 60. They also
rssented the attempt to call a confer
ence. There should be union again be-
tween this vast army and the gallant
Populists of the South; but so long
as the latter indulge in maneuvers like
these, so long as they allow themselves
to be governed by Republican tools like
Vandervoort, just so long will union
be impossible.

Feeding for Strength.

It is not accidental that oats, the
grain which, next to whole wheat, Is
hest for furnishing growth to the
muscles, should have always been the
favorite food for horses. They are
better than wheat for all animals
except man, and is good also for man,
if properly prepared. 1t is the large
proportion of hull which makes oats
superior for horse feed, as the hull
distends the nutriment and prevents 1T
from compacting and heating in the
stomach. Dat grain not only contains
n large amount of nitrogen nutriment,
but it has besides a certain stimuia-
tive substance, which is peculiar to the

Looks Like a Mistake.

The clause of the Indian ap.

plele jurisdiction on the United
States courts in Indian Territory
reads:
provided further, That on and
after January 1, 1898, the United
States courts in said territory shall
have original and exclusive juris.
diction and authority TO try and
determine all civil causes in law
and equity thereafter instituted
aud all criminal causes for the
punishment Of any offense commit
ted after the passage Of this act by
any person in said territory. = = "
This is nearly the same Ian
guage that was contained in the
original provision, and in both OF
them II is not as clear as legal
diction should be, whether United
States courts have jurisdiction over
criminal causes Immediately alter
the passage Of the act. The pro-
vision begins by stating that il
shall not take effect until after the
FIRST day Of next January, and this
is followed by the other portion
providing for jurisdiction over
criminal cases arising at any time
after the passage Of the act. The
language seems ambiguous The

THE decision Of the United
States court in the park case in this
city last week brings up again the
question Of title to town lots in the
Cherokee nation and incidentally
Of jurisdiction of the United States
courts in matters involving the use
and occupation of tribal land. In
claiming jurisdiction in this matter
the court must first assume that
the lots surrounding the parks in
this town are the property OF the
citizens occupying them, and that
the title has passed from the ma.
tion to the individual, and that
therefore the parks had become the
property of the municipality. The
parks, from the standpoint of
Cherokee law, arc held by the
town just as the lots are held by
the individual Cherokee citizen
the right Of use and occupation and
none other. All the land of the
tribe is common property with no
exceptions, else the constitution is
null and void, which says, "the
lands Of the Cherokee nation shall
remain common property" The
solution to ell these vexed ques-
tions is allotment, pure and sim
pie, with absolute individual title.
Then we can not only protect our
parks from vicious legislation, but
can also protect our homes from
the same danger.

DANGER AHEAD.

From now henceforth there will
be schemes innumerable in this
Indian country for the purpose Of
depriving the owners Of the land
and the funds of their rightful
shares of the same. Men who are
occupying large tracts of the COM
mon domain will begin to figure on
schemes whereby they can con-
tinue TO hold the land from the
poorer classes Of farmers and citi-
zens. Men who have invested
largely in town lots, improved and
unimproved will now enter the
field in the shape OF townsite asso-
Citations, etc. The Dawes com mis-.
sion, and the Indian commissions
will be buttonholed, and patted
and petted, and perhaps threat
ened in order that these interests
may be protected. But if the lands
of this country are really at last to
be allotted, there is only one prin-
ciple to apply and when it is ap-
piled all schemes and schemers
are alike shut out. The principle
Of equal and exact justice will set
tie every question that may arise.
The lands Of this nation belong
equally to all its citizens, and when
it is divided sll should have an
equal amount Of it in value. The
funds also are common property,
and in any distribution all should be
protected. Any proposition or any
agreement other than is based on
this principle will not be right and
will not be allowed to stand. The
man who under our present system
has purchased a large number Of
town lots, OF invested largely in
extensive land holdings may think
that he has acquired additional
rights over humber and poorer
citizens, whose opportunities and
means, or incliDations have not
permitted them to do likewise, but
such are sadly mistaken. The
most lowly fuilblood in the hills
without energy, wealth or ambi-
tion has rights equal to the wealth
lest in the land and they must be
respected and protected.
Whatever rights Of use and occu-
patton may have been enjoyed by
our people heretofore, however un-
easal may have been the privileges
and opportunities hitherto, they
must now DO made equal 10 SO far
as a division Of the tribal property
is concerned,
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-04-15

THERE is every indication that
the present is a time of greater
danger to the rights Of citizens Of
the Cherokee nation than any in
its history. Never before was the
service of an earnest, honest yeo-
manry so badly needed as now.
Our little government is in the
throes Of impending dissolution
and many Of our hitherto trusted
leaders have proven false to every
trust reposed in them. The very
men to whom we looked for pro-
lection for ourselves and our chill
dren in their rights in this restive
and unsettled time have recently
plundered our depleted treasury Of
large sum of money. The men
who have posed before us as pat.
riots have proven themselves to be
little less than common sneak
thieves and have robbed our chill.
dren of their birthright before our
very eyes. The men whose hands
we have sought to hold up, and
whose arms we have tried to sus-
tain have turned upon us and with
wanton heartlessness betrayed the
most sacred trust Of a needy and
helpless people. The very men
who are'now protesting against the
interference of congress in the
tribal affairs of the Cherokees have
their pockets stuffed with money
taken boldly from the people who
have guilelessly trusted them; they
have robbed their OVID flesh aud
blood mercileSsly and beyond for
bearance. They shall be exposed
and held up to the contempt Of the
Cherokee people henceforth. Pol
itics, social standing nor any de-
gree Of relationship shall shield
them from the denunciation they
deserve from an outraged, though
in a measure defenseless people.
