Manager Feinler of the Grand
Opera House will offer for his attrac-
ton commencing Thursday, Deem
Der Is, Blondell Hennessy's hilarious
ly funny comedy, "a Cheerful Idiot,
or Jay on Broadway" This play
comes direct from New York city,
where it achieved a terrific hit at a
Broadway theater. "A Cheerful IDIOT
depicts the adventures of a country
boy on his first visit to the metropolis
and his many novel adventures form
the theme of many side-splitting situa-
tons. The cast is headed by Edward
and Lettie Blondell, two of the clever
est comedy stars now before the pub
lie, assisted by Emory and Nodine,
Armstrong and Porter, Edna Taylor,
Vestal and Day, Mamie Herne, Joseph
Morgan and Sadie Kirby. "a Cheerful
Idiot" comes to us endorsed by all the
leading critics and everyone who en-
joys an evening of comedy and music
should not fail to see this roaring
comedy success.
Roland Reed will begin an engage
ment at the Opera House next Satur-
day, December II, matinee and night,
presenting his great success, THE
Woman Hater,' David D. Lloyd's CAPT
tai comedy, in which Mr.. Reed is seen
to such great advantage as Samuel
Bundy. The play is one continuous
round of amusing situations, ridicu-
lOus incidents and humorous dialogue.
So fast and furious is the fun that
the audience is kept in a constant roar.
There is not one dull moment, and
the comedy is clean, sparkling and
versatile. 1t is the most keenly en-
joyable production Of it's kind, present.
ed here for a long time. The action
is not at all times consistent with
probability, but the gaucheries are so
novel and the bon-mots so bright that
the extreme absurdity of the situa-
tions is lost sight of. Each act is i'm
mensely funny, but the climax of the
merriment is reached in the insane
asylum scene of the last act. Roland
Reed is the woman hater and he is
admirable. His comicality is refresh
ing, and the eXuberance' which he dis
plays in the laughable role is COM
municated to the audience. The talent
ed comedian has a character which
gives scope for his peculiar genius and
he makes a most decided hit. Miss
Isadore Rush is seen to excellent adj
vantage as Mrs. Lucy Joy.
Direct from the Star theater in New
York comes Thomas H. Davis and
William T. Keogh's fascinating COM
edy drama, Down in Dixie" which
will be seen here at the Opera House
next Wednesday, December IA, for the
first time. For the season of 1889
this stirring play of southern life has
been greatly strengthened and beauti-
fed. New scenes and incidents have
been added, until now it is still moH
than ever the most accurate and vivid
picture of life in the fragrant sunny
South ever given on the stage The
scenery and mechanical effects are
more wonderful than ever. The huge
cotton press is an exact reproduction
of the kind found in the cotton ware
houses in the South. Two villains put
a senseless naval officer in the ponder
Gus Jaws of this compress. Just as
they are about to close and crush him
the heroine comes to the rescue. The
famous pickaninny band is most
lively and amusing feature. A darkey
uuartette sings with rare sweetness
and vigor.

AN OPINION REVIEWED.
An Unwarranted Hardship
on the Greeks.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-U nj tie d
States vs.. Marchie Chisolm and
Thomas Atkins: opinion by Judge
John r. Thomas.
In reviewing this opinion the
writer proceeds with becoming
candor, and disclaims any intern
ational disrespect for the high
authority by which it was rem
/ dered.
The defendants were Creek In
dians and citizens of the Creek ma
ton. They were indicted for a
criminal offense and brought to
trial before the district court of the
United States at Muskogee. |. 7.
They objected to the jurisdiction
OF the court on the ground that the
act OF congress defining the juris-
diction of said court was unconsti-
tutional, being in conflict with
the terms of the Creek treaty,s If
1865. This conflict was conceded
by the court; it was held, however,
sxhat the act in question was never
theless constitutional, and had the
effect, pro tanto, to annul the
treaty. The defendants were held
for trial.
The court says, I'm its exercise
of sovereign power, the govern
ment of the United States may
abrogate treaties either by its in
vading armies and roaring can
non, or by the more peaceful, SUBJ
jugating power of the small arms
of congressional legislation = s.
The court here, at the outset,
seems to misconceive the true na-
tlre of tho question; it is mot one
Of power. but of right. No indi-
vidual, state, or sovereignty ever
has the right to abrogate fair
agreement which he has made
with another individual, state, or
sovereignty. To hold otherwise
would upset all government, and

that the differences among physi-

of aggression and uprisal. 1t is
true, nations, from one cause or
another, are sometimes induced to
do this; but never without first
putting themselves on a war foot
ing in order that they may be able
to sustain themselves in the wrong
full act. 1t is a contradiction in
terms to talk about abroga'ing a
treaty by the peaceful methods of
legislation-by the peaceful meth
ods OF war measure. Whether
the end is attained by means of
''roaring cannon" in the open
field, or by the "small arms" of
legislation, the effect is the same;
the peace is broken. There may
not be a single gun fired, nor a
single drop of blood shed; but the
party that, in such cases, is made
to stand the wrong resulting from
such an arbitrary act of injustice,
generally receives wound upon
the innerman full as destructive to
his peace Of mind as could be a
saber stroke upon the outer man.
As the result of this decision the
peace of the whole Creek people
has been most seriously disturbed:
men, women and children through
out the nation have been made
anything but peaceful under the
bnrden OF this great wrong. The
abrogation of this treaty fell upon
them like stroke of lightning out
of clear sky. They were not ex-
pecting it; they had no occasion to
expect it. They had been, for
many years, resting confidingly
upon its promises. But when at
last they were informed by com.
petent authority that it was not.
and never had been, from the be-
ginning, worth a straw, their
moral sense received a shock
that upset their confidence in the
government, and made them feel
that their own hereditary dia.fust
of the high pretensions Of civiliza-
tion itself had been unmistakably
vindicated. The Creeks are a
small helpless people, peaceable,
friendly, and loyal. How unfor-
tunate, that. in adjudging SO sim
pie a civil question in which these
innocent people happened to be
Interested, the court should have
found it necessary to adopt aset of
principles which are never invoked
except in dealing with either an
actual, or probable, enemy.

| pearance OF contagious diseases,
especially smallpox, proceed with
out fear, favor or hesitancy, to take
care Of the sick and protect the pub
lie against further invasion regard
less of every financial interest. No
community is acting wisely to shut
its eyes to the truth. The medi-
cal profession as body can have
no motive for sounding a false
alarm, and any decent lot of ply
sicians ought to be accorded the
undivided support of the commu-
nifty. 1t is poor scrap of a doc
tor who does not know more about
given disease than the merchant
or lawyer or private citizen, how
ever intelligent about other mat
ters.
A few years ago when smallpox
made it's appearance in one OF the
popular hotels Of Vinita and scores
of persons had been exposed, the
people Of the town and vicinity
excepting always a few fools
yielded perfect obedience to the
medical board, with the happy re-
suit of disposing of the disease in
short order. We understand that
Oklahoma Territory has some sort
of sanitary regulation in the way
of health boards and county ply
sicians. Unfortunately, the Indian
Territory has no protection what
ever. What vestige OF auth orlty
that we have had went with the
judicial authority of the nation on
the first of last January. AT this
time, however, the Indian Terri
tory Medical Society, through its
committee on medical legislation,
is in correspondence with Mr.. Lit
tie and perhaps others of congress,
who are in position to cause an
application of the Arkansas stat
utes to this country. For human
itarian reasons and Judging by the
uncompromising energy and honor
of Mr.. Little and other friends in
congress, we expect the request to
be granted. This will inaugurate
complete sanitary system with
its boards Of health in every tow n
| in the country. Will regulate the
the travel and intercourse between
all parts of this territory and the
surrounding states in time of dan
ger. 1t puts into this service the
best medical minds in the rapidly
growing embryo commonwealth
with it's 600, 600 souls. Under this
provision our towns may call into
existence a board of health whose
duty it becomes to supervise city
sewerage, the sale of meats, milk
vegetables, fruits, water supply,
and in short everything pertaining
to the public health. This work
is under the supervision of the
territorial board of health, which
in turn keeps record of vital sta
tistics, prevailing diseases, and
many such things of. vital impor-
tance to the federal government,
as well as our own country.
The suppression or prevention
of contagious diseases can be ac.
complished by organized effort
No improvised board of health car
be as efficient as those who are
trained to the work in proper line
of authority. This fact is ex-
emplified by the recent sad expe
rience Of the city Of Stroud.
