Ever since the election in Novem-
Der, the Pettigrew and Lee forces
have been waging a ~erce and viru-
lent warfare III Senator Kyle. Gov
ernor Lee has withheld his pa ,ronage
in order to bride populists to vote
against Kyle ; Pettigrew has kept
the wires hot with messages and has
directed the fight against Kyle,
working through Governor Lee.
Every resource has been drawn
upon to compass h S defeat. Never
has there been seen in the west so
liter, SO yiruleut, aud SO unscrupu-
loas a tight as has been put up on
Senator Kyle. Through it all he
has been cool, conservative, manly,
honorable, and evtl-headed. His
election is an overwhelming defeat
for Senator Pettigrew and Governor
Lee who had formed a conspiracy to
beat him at any cost to the party or
the public service. These conspira-
tors woul have a thousand times
preferred no election, and Kyle's re-
election amounts an overwhelming
and crushing defeat for Senator Pet
tigrew, Governor Lee, and the whole
choice band of fellows who went in
to run the whole populist party and
its various adjuncts, and who get
nothing but a singing and lasting
rebuke.
The result of this election makes
Nh. Pettigrew a very pitiabie figure
in Washington. He is without a
party, is shorn of bis power to re-
ward or revenge, and his endorse
ment for an appointive Office would
be equivalent to a death warrant for
the applicant. Mr.. Kyle owes his
reelection to Republican votes, and
he is a man of too much honor ard
Judgment to be insensible to this
fact.-soo Falls Argus-L Leader.

office at the reform school, and

the bill IS to employ the convict

The split in the populist party
between the Watson and Butler
factions is not the only fracture there
is in it, but this is wide and extend
ed enough to show that the party is
in a shaky condition. Probably the
populist name will never again
figure in a presidential election. The
popullst is going the way of the
numerous other parties which appeal
to a class. None of them ever had
any real vitality. The populist
party has already lasted longer than
anybody four or five years ago ex-
pected. At did one good work, 1t
helped to divert the people of the
south from war issues and prejudices
and thus prepared the way for a
break in the partisan solidity of that

The Press is disappointed at the
result, and cannot claim it as a VIC
tory for the free silver party of the
state. The mere fact that Senator
Kyle has been elected to succeed
himself is not cause for complaint,
but the ma ner in which his cleo
tian was accomplished is ground for
condemnation. The fusionists with
a majority of twenty on joint ballot
have frittered away the opportunity
to choose a senator in a manner salts
factory to the party, and have allow
ed the Republicans to dictate the
election of the man whom they may
have considered the least objection
able to their political organization.
Nothing can be said o stron. ly in

party principles, joined with the
Republicans in bringing about the
result.-Soo Falls Press (Pettigrew

As the smoke Of the great sen
atorial battle clears away, the true
situation develops aud Senator
Kyle shines forth as an honest
patriot. Republicans saw that it
was impossible for. them to elect
a Republican, and that a popullst
would be elected, so they determ-
ined to take hold and elect a clean,
able man. They sounded the lead
ing candidates and found that all
except Kyle were wiling to sacrifice
every principle for office. Kyle
maintained his position on the
money question but was willing to
give the Republicans an opportun
ity to prove the correctness of their
theory and would not be an OBJ
structionlst. Believing him to be
an honest man, they decided to
throw their votes to him. Pop
ulists haved demonstrated themselves
to be incompetent and incapable to
meet emergency, and have only
themselves to blame. Reports that
Senator Kyle sold out are not true.
He a be depended upon to rep
resent the best interests of South
Dakota, and those who stood by
HIM have no apologies to offer

The reelection of Senator Kyle,
yesterday, is a victory for the Re-

the first place, it is a stunning blow
to Senator Pettigrew and that Ct it
self is a good enough victory for
most Repub leans, but in addition to
that it carried with it Republican
harmony and populist disorganiza-

time after the fusion forces had
shown their incapacity for govern

The period Of grace was given him in
order that he might communicate with

Court Decision Affects -Four Thousand

MUsROGEE, l. T.. Dec. Gin the
United States court for the northern
district OF Indian Territory Judge VIII
liam NJ. Springer has rendered his de-
cision in the matter of the application
Of certain persons TO be enrolled as
citizens OF the Cherokee Nation. The
court holds that those Indians who
have separated themselves from the
present Cherokee Nation or from the
old Cherokee Nation east of the Missis-
sippi river and have taken up their
residence in the states and have re-
moved their effects out Of the limits Of
the Nation, and the eastern band Of
Cherokee Indians who remained In the
states after the treaty of 1885, have for
feited their rights and privileges as cit
liens of the Nation. and that such per-
sons cannot regain their citizenship un-
less they comply with the constitution
and the laws OF the Cherokee Nation
ana be admitted to citizenship as there
IN provided.
The court recognizes the legislation
of the Cherokee Nation constituting
tribunals 10 pass upon certain classes
OF citizenship cases, and concludes;
"The acts Of the Cherokee council In
the determination of applications for
citizenship in the Nation viii be re-
garded as judgments of a court and will
be subject to the same tests as TO their
validity"
This ruling affects a large class of
prominent people in Georgia and North
and South Carolina and their descend
ants, who are scattered over the land
and trace their ancestry back among
the Cherokee Indians. Among those af-
fected are the Hubbards of the south
west and the Grays Of New England.
The opinion affects more than 1000 peo-
pie who are applicants for citizenship
