THE COMING ISSUE.

The issue that will perhaps over
shadow all other local issues in
this city and in the Indian Terri
tory in the near future will be
whether we are 10 have the open
licensed saloon, or whether the
sale of liquor will still be consid-
cred a felony. Powerful inf1uenc-
es and steadily at work for the
overthrow of the prohibitory laws
against the introduction and sale
of intoxicants in the Indian coun-
try. One of the arguments being
used comes rather from an unex-
pected quarter, that is from those
who are intrusted with the enforce
ment of the law. Their line of
reasoning is, that the law cannot
be enforced, that the grand juries
are slow to Indict, and the petit
juries still slower to convict per-
sons charged with such offenses,
and that public sentiment is
against the enforcement of the
liquor laws, therefore it should be
ignored. The sophistry of such
reasoning cannot be concealed. In
the first place it implies a doubt
as to the strength and efficacy of
the American judiciary; and in the
next place it expresses a lack of
confidence in the people who COM
pose this great government. A
weak and unreasonable statute,
and perverse citizenship is what
is claimed by those who are seek
ing to throw the Indian Territory
open to the promiscuous sale of
Intoxicating drinks. This reason
ing is like that of the farmer whose
fence is weak in places, and the
stock occasionally breaking in; in
stead of strengthening and guard
ing the weak points, and protect
ing his crops, decides to throw the
whole thing down and give up the
fight.
Great sympathy is expressed for
the large numbers who have been
convicted and sent to the peniten-
tiaries for violating the liquor law
in force in the Indian Territory.
The fallacy of this reasoning is
also apparent. We fail to recall a
single conviction that was not d.
rectly beneficial to the country,
and the whole country is better for
the riddance of such persons. The
only difficulty is that there has
not been enough of such cOnvic-
ton, and that they have too largely
been confined to the whisky ped
dler while some of the wholesale
offenders are growing rich at the
business, in some instances in the
very shadow of the courts.

THE HORSE PLAGUE.
A Disease Battling Medical
Skill to Cure.

As the disease, anthrax (char-
bOn) which was prevalent among
the horses and mules in the sec.
ton southwest OF here a few weeks
ago may break out again, possibly
something in reference to it may
not be amiss. On account of its
frightful mortality this is one of
the most dreaded diseases that
attack the brute creation. 1t usu-
ally occurs in the form Of an epi-
demic, and an outbreak oft means
certain destruction to a large pro-
portion of herbivOrOus animals in
the path of its march. Horses.
mules, cattle, sheep aud goats are
heinvariable sufferers. Its progress
is so rapid that stock owners rare
ly have time to adopt measures of
relief when the disease has once
made its appearance in the vicini-
ty, and its ravages are so terrible
that absolute bankruptcy often
follows in its wake. As a rule
the disease breaks out in June,
July or August, just at the time
when horses and mules are most
needed, although it may appear at
either an earlier or later period.
Anthrax is also communicable to
man and this adds greatly to its
terrors. 1t is germ disease, the
germs entering the body usually
with food, but sometimes through
sores or scratches in the skin.
The germs are very hardy and live
in the soil for a number of years
and are communicable in an al
most stinterminabl number of ways,
as may be imagined. Therefore
all carcasses should be burned as
soon as the animal dies, and with
out moving it from the spot where
it died if possible.
Anthrax is so infectious, so con
tagious and so fatal a disease that
once it appears in herd a total
loss may result. 1t is incurable
and recoveries are very rare.
The treatment is most unsatis-
factory; in fact, there is no cure
for anthrax. 1t cannot, like Texas
fever for instance, be checked or
prevented by quarantine, as the
germ, if not already there, finds
its way to a farm, ranch or plan
tation in sometimes the most un
accountable way. 1t would appear
at times to the uninitiated that the
pasture. had been poisoned. The
only way of combating anthrax is
to prevent it by vaccination. 1t Is
well known how human beings
are protected from smallpox by
vaccination. Mules, horses, cat
tie, sheep and goats are in the
same way protected by Pasteur's
anthrax (charbon) vaccine. Pas
teur's vaccine was first put to
practical use in France, and its
employment has during the last
twelve years gradually extended
to every civilized country OF the
world. About twenty millions OF
animals have been successfully
vaccinated, and thereby protected
against this disease during the
last few years, and the saving ef-
fected runs into millions of dollars.

TURNED OUT OF SCHOOL.

Whether the protest of the Che
rokee citizens, patrons of the ma
tional school at Vinita is heard,
needed or ignored, the fact must
remain that injustice has been
done. The organization of pub
lie school system for the city of
Vinita ought not to be allowed TO
interfere with the rights of the
Indians. The absorption of the
Cherokee school by the city school
is all right provided it is entire and
complete, but the Cherokees
should not thereby be deprived of
any rights they already enjoyed
under their own government.
$500 of the common school fund OF
the Cherokee nation is poured into
the treasury of the city schools
and about 80 Cherokee children
turned away from the school.
The taxes of the town are suppos-
ed to be collectible from Cherokee
citizens, others are not supposed
to have taxable property here,
and in addition to this the Chero-
kee nation gives the school $500 the
first year with the promise
of more, and sees the door of the
school shut in the face of her own
citizens. These people are en-
titled at least 10 the rights they
had before the creation of the pres
ent city school board. The dis
elimination is a glaring one and
ought not to be persisted in. The
government of the United States
ought to see that these Indians re-
a fair show, and this blow at u
tribal schools is a blow at ~.
