noted men of the country-a select

Some three miles distant, at the
end of the famous drive of the city,
the Paseo de la Reforma, is what
might properly be called the White
House of Mexioo-the Castle Of
Chapultepec.
During the summer season of the
year it is the official residence of
the president and surrounded by
massive cypress trees and occupy
ing a commanding situation it is
one of the loveliest sights the eye
Of the writer has rested upon. 1t
is also the national military acad-
emy. Chapultepec was once the
favorite park Of Montezuma and
will be remembered as the scene of
conflict between the United
States troops and Mexicans in 1S47
when it was carried by assault.
Three centuries ago and more an
aqueduct consisting of some 800
arches was constructed to carry

duct of Dickson has been to force
every one with whom he comes in
contact during the performance Of
his official duties to "stand and
deliver"
II the charges against this man
are not true, let him come out in
the open and defend himself. The
courts are open and he has his
remedy.
The Journal intimates that the
exposure Of Dickson is the result
Of disappointment at not getting a
payment at Vinita. 1t might with
equal credibility be charged that
the reason the Journal is so
abundanuy satisfied is because the
Coffeyville bankers and others are
so solid with the paymaster.
The facts in the case are that
the exposure of Dickson was begun
when he was making a payment
in Vinita last fall, and that he at
the time threatened if he was not
let alone the freedmen payment
would be made elsewhere.
Such charges come with poor
grace at this time from our Kansas
cotemporary, in the light of events
known and undenied in connection
with the payment. Such palaver
will be read with contempt by
those whose money, in and out Of
Coffeyville has gone to bribe the
very man the Journal essays to de.
fend. The Journal voluntarily
places itself in the attitude Of de-
Tending that which undoubtedly
should be condemned by the repu-
table press Of the country. The
question as to whether the pay
ment be made at Vinita, or CoiTey.
vile, or Hayden or elsewhere, does
not enter into the matter at issue.
The contention is, shall such
shameful practices as Dickson has
been guilty Of go unrebuked in
free AmericaP The proper course
now, under the circumstances
would be to turn Dickson over to
the grand jury that his acts may
be investigated.

SILENCE MORE BRConING.

In attempting to defend the con.
duct Of Paymsster Dickson the
Cofieyville Journal descends from
its usual plane OF fairness AID dis
interested morality, to that Of a
toadying, whining sycophant. The
charges brought against Vinita rel
ati-o ~ Col. Dickson and the pay
ment are unjust, and unwarranted
by the bald faced and undisputed
facts in the case. No charges have
been made against Dickson by THE
CHIEFTAIE, or by the Business
Mems League of this city that are
not true and that cannot be proven.
1t is a fact that Dickson sold the
Shawnee payment to the mer-
chants Of Vinita last fall, and the
money was raised right here in
town, and in broad daylight, with
which to pay him.
1t is fact that Dickson went
out TO private houses and issued
checks in the night.
1t is a fact that he compelled Joe
Fritz to sign the pay roll after he
(Dickson) had gwen his check to
another.
II is fact that he was six weeks
in making the Shawnee payment,
whereas the treasurer OF the Cher.
okee nation paid the same people
in less than one week.
1t is fact that he and Robert
Kern represented to Secretary
Francis that Hayden was a conVen-
lent point for all the freedmen to
recsiye their per capita money
when subsequent facts have proven
1t TO be simply outrageous to force
the freedmen from the southern
portion Of the nation TO 60 there.
II is fact, supported by the at.
idavit Of n man who saw the
money paid, that Dickson CON-
PEELED the payment Of the guaranty
company's bond fee Of s540-the
bond required by the government
before this payment could take
place.
J Finally, Il is fact that the con-

The news comes from the Al

is confined serving out a As year
sentence that Mr.. Cook has been
made a trusty and is allowed to go
about the institution unguarded.
1t is also stated that he has been
converted and is a devout christ
