A LITTLE PLAIN TALK.

a Lll1l- A<EAA~' ANAATAN'
We have made up our mind not to at
tempt to force an Office on any man who
does not want it. That's why we think
it high time the Populist papers of Kan
sas dropped Breidenthal. What's the
use of wasting powder on a man who
either doesn't want an Office or doesn't
appreciate the efforts Of his friends III
his behalf?-Belleville Freeman.
Brother Emory, you have been mis-
led by fake rerorts and interviews puo-
1ished in Republican papers. NJ.
Breidenthal has told his friends frankly
that his desire is to retire to private life,
but if they insisted upon his becoming a
candidate, and if when the convention
met there seemed TO be general desire
among the rank and file that he be the
nominee he would make the race; but
that under no circumstances would he
make fight for the place or permit his
friends to do so. The Republican papers
and politicians know that Credentials
nomination would mean the over
whelming defeat of their entire ticket,
and for this reason they are using every
means in their power, even to putting
words in his mouth which he never utter
ed to sidetrack him. But when the Free
man speaks about Breidenthal not ap-
preciating his friends we want to remark
that if any one has cause to complain on
tins score it is Breidenthal and not the
party. There is not an individual in
Kansas, not one, who has done so much
to build up the Populist party and Pop
ulist principles as John Breidenthal, and
there is not an individual anywhere, il
Kansas or out of it, who has devoted Sc
much of his time and ability and sacri
feed so much for the principles we ad
yocate as John Breidenthal; and yet il
the state convention at Abilene, Wal
Costigan and other Lewelling henchmer
aided by the representations of the Kan
sas City, Missouri, liquor dealers, lice
about, traduced, and villihed him in tht
most disgraceful manner. No man wa.
ever slandered and abused even by hi
political opponents, as was Breidentha
that occasion in the house of his friends
submitted to it. If you had been there
Bro. Emory, and witnessed that disgrace
full scene enacted by men who were &C
tuated only by a spirit of revenge, be
cause Breidenthal had been true to hi
convictions and true to the. people n

Getting Her Moneys worth.

a spiritualist seance once upon an
evening, and though she strained
every nerve in an effort to concen.
trate her mind on her dear and gone
acquaintance there was no message
for her. Quite late in the evening
the medium announced the presence
of spirit calling himself Uncle
Jimmy. The young woman immedi-
ately rose and claimed him. Uncle
Jimmy said he was doing nicely,
sent his love to all the family and
departed. AS the young woman left
the hall the escort ventured to say:

Ate. the Card In a Ham sandwich.

On Sunday evening a party ol
poker experts were seated in a prom.
inent up town hotel lobby, and some
good stories were the outcome. One
of the veterans at thumbing the
pasteboards related an incident in
his own career where he had been
dealt six cards.

game" said the old sport, land
when ! looked at the cards they
were of the most needful variety. "
"What did you do with the sixth
cardin queried an attentive listener.
Il ordered ham sandwich, " was
the reply, and, concealing the card
between the bread and meat, ate the
whole outfit"
When the laugh over this story
was ended, another member of the
party told of jack pot which was
opened on pair of mines. In the
draw the holder Of this pair took in
another nine spot and cleaned ur
the table pretty thoroughly with
three mines. When it came to show
down, the query was made, What
did you open withi"
Innocently enough the holder Of
the big hand acknowledged pail
of mines. His hand was claimed to
be foul one, and the pot was di
vided amcng the players according
to their bets. This procedure did
not suit the jack pot opener, and he
left the table, denouncing all pres
ent as sharpers and swindlers.-

And the sweet cong OK each awakened flower
From my great kingdom vassals do bring
April and May. 20 do thee reverence,
And the young year serenely folds her wing
Upon tho flower Of thy white Innocence

One sole sweet symphony have earth and star
And but one song the living and the dead.
Voices from bird nests in the woods green

"The spring returns. ali, let us love" they

Hark to the sigh of the refowered tomb,
: 'Ah, love, love. love, for sprung goes by, goei
by"
Here at thy heart, which is garden sweet,
My thought beats: "Let me enter and h'

Are very tired, and desire TO rest
To rest little in your world of flowers,
Dreaming Of Joy that will not flower for me-
Rest in the shadow of memorial hours,

THE CHICKASAW WRITES
Will Walker Tells of His Visit
to the CherokeeS.

At Vinita we found an almost
counterpart of Purcell. They
have more fine buildings than we,
but we can equalize this matter by
the greater uniformity with which
the business portion of our town Is
built up. Their population IS
about the same as ours, their prop
erty assessment nearly the same
and their sidewalks equally as un-
even.
Here we met any number of
good friends. Vinita and Purcell
have always supported each other
in matters Of local interest before
congress, hence the friendly feel
ing that exists between the two
towns. We had the pleasure OF
taking dinner at the home OF the
manager of The Daily and Weekly
Chieftain, and we have had the
pleasure OF meeting the gentleman
and his estimable wife on several
occasions.
While at Vinita we heard the
proposed regulations Of the interior
department in the proposed en-
forcement of the Curtis bill quite
freely discussed. Fir ON this dis
cussion we learned much relative
to this question and realize quite
forcibly the hardship its rigidsSen-
forcement would work upon these
people. 1t is proposed in this
regulation to make the Cherokee a
preliminary allotment of 50 acres.
In many instances this would take
away from citizens land they have
lived upon for years and to which
they have the same attachmeht any
citizen does to the home where the
better part of his life has been
spent, where his children have
been born and where many OF
them are buried. When one views
the question from the Cherokee
standpoint he no longer wonders
at the opposition to this move.
One old gentleman who seems
we'll versed in Cherokee history
and to have carefully studied all
phases Of the situation, outlined
his plan for distributing the Chero.
kee lands, and we were pleased to
find it exactly such as the Register
has advocated for years. This IL
to carefully classify the lands, put
upon each class fair valuation
and then distribute to each citizen
his pro rata share OF the lands ac'
cording to this valuation, giving
quarter or less number OF acres
according to the grade of lands
taken by such citizen as his allot
ment.

Just talks on the statehood ques-
ton because he likes the music OF
his own voice, not that he actually
has any beliefin what he says.
N Our Missouri friend, A. L.
Churchill, who now runs one of
the largest mercantile houses in
the city, was one Of the successful
candidates in an election for school
directors which took place the day
we were there. If there is any,
thing in heredity "Lud" should
make a good director as his father
has filled the position for about
twenty years and is one Of the
most faithful workers in this line
we ever met--and this assertion
means no disparagement to our
Billy Hooker and Joe Fariss.
Alton and Chelsea are good lit
tie towns, each surrounded by Ter
tile country and each enjoying
good trade. Each OF these towns
are building up rapidly and each
one expects to, and doubtless will,
see its business increase as the
country fills up.
At Chelsea we had the pleasure
of meeting our fellow crank, Bro.
Clawson, of the Reporter, who ar
IDENTIFY advocates single statehood.
After all, about the only difference
between Bro. Clawson and the
other editors of this section is that
he says what he thinks, while the
others, from motives Of business
prudence, say what the people
about them think they think.
Claremore is Hates town, and a
good one. Mr.. and Mrs. Hates
made our stay here extremely
pleasant, much of it being spent
with these good friends. Joe. Lahay,
R. Lee Conner, Ed White and many
others contributed quite largely to
our pleasure during our stay IN
this town, making it one Of the
most pleasant of the memories we
retain of the trip.
While Claremore is fine town,
has good business, is quite live

built, Hates must admit that one

tions that should not exist, and we
| look to this closer relationship
to eradicate such feeling. While
we may differ upon points Of pub

future our interests are inseparably
linked together and we should no
allow local jealousies to preven
