The United States courts have
decided time and again that the
tribal laws have not been abolish
ed, yet some people continue to
argue that the courts should pass
upon the question.

The Washington dispatches
printed in some of the territory
papers to the effect that District
Attorney Soper was pursuing
disreputable course in the admin
istration of the duties of his office
have the ring of fake correspond
ence. People living here in the
territory see no such state of af-
fairs as is described in those
specials. From all outward ap-
pearances the attorneys office is
leaving nothing desired in the way
of the enforcement of law, and
such criticisms are unjust and un-
true.

One week from next Monday
the national council meets at Tah-
lequah and the new chief will be
sworn in, and several important
changes will no doubt be made in
the administration of tribal affairs.

Those who won't see that the
law provides qualifications fol
speaker of council and president
of senate, unknown to the cOnsti.
tuition, do not stop to think that il
was in the power of either branch Of
the national council to at any time
resume the entire control of Its
own proceedings without being
trammeled by either branch of the
government. No preceding coun-
Gil could control action of success
sors, prevent them from using
powers conferred by the constitu-
ton. Suppose some council had
decided that because any member
might some time be popular
enough to be elected presiding
officer, therefore ali members
must have all qualifications of
chief. Would that have stood?
Every member of the senate or
house necessarily is the equal
of all others, under the Chero-
kee constitution. 1t strikes US
that g look at the authenticated
roll will show that John r. McIn-
tosh, the present speaker, even
yet is not thirty-five and certainly
was not two years ago. So SEN
sible house resumed its powers
without comment. Take these
hurdles down and keep them
down; a fair race for all without
regard to race, color or previons
or age except as pre-
scribed in our constitution, and
.ook out for "tbe dark horse"
who may jam both of your Jims.

Some people have expressed
surprise that there are intelligent
peoDle in this town and country
who are against the enforcement
of law, and who have recently
taken a strong stand against the
government of the United States
OF course this indicates morbid
state of public opinion and morals
but il no doubt comes from the
chaotic conditions that exist in
the Indian Territory. But 1t is
largely owing to the custom that
has prevailed here for many years,
OF beating the tribal laws as a mat
ter of expediency whenever occa-
sion offered. We have some very
good citizens who have thought
nothing of beating, and assisting
others in beating the Cherokee
laws. This has grown into a dan
gerous condition and threatens now
to get some people into trouble
very soon if they do not stop and
take a different view of habitually
violating the laws of the country.
In the controversy that has been
going on over the collection OF the
revenues due the Cherokee nation,
some of our friends fail TO recog-
nize the fact that the rights of the
Cherokees alone have been assail-
ed. Those who oppose the col
lection of the royalties due the
nation are doing the Indians
great wrong. The privileges for
which the royalties are charged
are well worth the money and this
source of revenue should not be
cut off ruthlessly. 1t is certainly
asking a gleat deal of the interior
department, for those from whom
taxes are due to demand that the
law be not enforced. OF course
the Cherokees want. all the money
due them and the government has
undertaken the job Of collecting it
for them, and the United States
government is a pretty good col
lector and has a way of making in
dividuals do right that is unques-
toned.

validity of the Act of 1898, but, on the
contrary, recognizes the right of the
peop.e interested to enforce perpetu-
auoD of such uses. The parties in
teressted in such use however, unlike
the heirs of the Ohio Companys
shareholders) are near at hand, and il
they choose may contest the abandon
ment of such use. The chances OF
such contest may or may not be re-
mote, but the right to contest is exact
ly the same as that held with respect
to the City Park, north of Putnam
street, and does any one believe that
II the act of 1898 had attempted to au-
thorlze the city of Marietta to erect
public buildings upon the City Park,
or to convey any part of it to the .coun-
ty for such purpose, ,the erectionof such
buildings would not be successfully re-
sisted?
With respect to the occupation and
use of this ground for railroad pur-
poses the laws of the State of Ohio
provide that when it becomes neces-
sary in the location of railroad to
occupy any street or public ground in
"a city, the railroad company and City
Council may agree upon the manner,
terms and conditions upon whlcn the
same may be used or occupied and that
Co no ttn cIInh.
ment the company may appropriate
the same or so much as may be neces-
sary FOR the purpose of its road. Such
condemnations are seldom resorted to,
as the parties usually come to an
agreement resulting in a grant by Or
dinance of the right of way asked for.
1t is true that l have frequently as
sisted in the making of such agree
ments and in the passage of such or
dinances in this city, and l shall have
no hesitation in rendering like service
in the future whenever called upon to
do so.
But the records will show that no
considerable portion of the commons
has so far been taken for the use of
any railroad company, the rights
granted to such companies touching
only small part of the ground near
the end of the railroad bridge.
County Commissioners are also au-
thorlzed by law to appropriate prop
erty for court house and Jail, by pro-
ceedings prescribed for such purpose
when they cannot agree with the own
ers for the purchase of the same.
find, howver, no provision analogous
to the one above referred to, authoriz-
ing City Council to permit the Com
missioners to erect court house up
on public grounds of the city. If there
were such provision by statute it
would doubtless simplify the matter
very much, so that the selection of the
Ice HaTbor lot as location for the
new court house could rest upon its
own merits.
With respect 20 Sthe long preamble
and solemn enactment" of the Act of
1898 upon which the Register lays
such stress, perhaps l may be permit
ted to remark without any disrepoct to
the trainers of the Act and as legal
proposition merely, that no degree of
solemnlty in legislation will supply
want of power in the legislature enact
ing it. Very respectfully.

Divorce and Mormonism,

The women of the country are filling
-he land with their protests to Con-
gress against allowing the polygamous
. Roberts, of Utah. to take the seat in
the House to which he has been elect
ed. Would they not do the country an
equal or greater service if they were to
make an effort to have a uniform di-
vorce law in this country, law that
would permit divorce for one cause
only, namely, adultery?
In an interesting article on "Di-
vorce" by Cardinal GIBBONS in Sun
days New York World this statement
was made:
THE reckless facility with which di-
vorce is procured in this country is an
evil scarcely less deplorable than Nor
monism. Indeed, it is in some respects
more dangerous than the latter for di-
vorce has the sanction of the civil law
which Momonism has not. Is not the
law of divorce a virtual federation of
MormOnism in a modified form? Nor
monism consists in simultaneous poly
gsmy, while the law of divorce practi-
cally leads to successive polygamy?"
The Cardinal points out in his arti-
Gle that there are twenty-five causes
for divorce in this country most of
them OF very trifiing character, and
in some states the power of granting
divorce is left to the discretion OF the
Judge.-Savannah News.

TUESDAY MAY 80. 1899.
Mark Twain and the Emperor.

The genial Mark Twain appears to
be carrying all before him abroad. His
latest conquest is the Emperor of Aus
tria, with whom he is reported to have
just had jolly good time. The story
runs that upon his presentation to the
Austrian ruler, Mark. in his awe at the
imperial presence, forgot the courtly
German speech he had carefully COM
mitted to memory, and as result
was somewhat confused. The Empor-
or, we are told, was so sociable, how
and in burst of confidence told his
imperial highness the secret of his lost
German speech. ThereUpon Francis
Joseph, in good English, told Mark to
repeat his intended speech in his
mother tongue and he would help him
render 1t into that of the fatherland.
The result was a very amusing time all
around, and Emperor and humorist
parted with the firm conviction that
the other was jolly good fellow.
Americans generally will be very
glad to hear how famously their own
beloved Twain is getting on abroad.
They will be inclined, however, to
think that he is attempting to get off
one of their own jokes when he allows
the impression to go abroad that he
was so flustered by the presence of an
emperor that he forgot his speech and
suffered from embarrassment We are
disinclined to believe that Mark Twain
could be so affected by such atrivial in
cident as a meeting with a crowned
head That he may have forgot his
German speech may be credited, burt
that his lapse of memory was due to
his awe of Francis Joseph, or that he
was embarrassed, will need vouching.
The story shows very clearly that
Mark is still American to the backbone
and that he has not forgotten any of
Americas great art of Advertising

RepOrt Of Musklngum Farmer,s CIut

Report Of Muskingum Farmers Club,
The Club met at the home of M. II.
Dyar Rainbow, May 20, 1899
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved
Dwight Dyar recited "The Quarrel
some Brothers," Miss Mary Il. Stacy
read a very excellent essay on "The
History and Chemistry OF Bread Max
ing" Menticn is made of bread in the
Old Testament and in ancient histor-
les. Specimens have been found in
the ruins of old houses. having been
hardened and preserved by some in
tense heat She gave an account of
the chemical processes through which
the dough passes before becoming fin
lshed bread and told why bread is
sometimes sour and how this may be
prevented. There was considerable
discussion of the paper, especially in
regard to sour bread.
The query, what Can You Tell
About Coal?" was fully answered by
Alta McNeal Some discussion follow
ed.
The committee on the June excur-
sion reported that the Buckeye Eureka
Park had been engaged for the third
Saturday of the month, June II, and
the Sonoma had agreed to take the
Club to the island at the same rates as
last year. Members Of the Club and in
vlted guests will be expected to attend.
The dinner will be eaten in groups as
last year. The report was accepted.
Russell Alden entertained the Club
with a number of selections on the
graphophOne.
The subject of discussion, Poultry"
was then taken up
l. Management of incubators and
young chickens. w. d. Devol has had
two years experience with an incuba-
tor. Any good incubator will give sat
isfaouory results if the directions are
carefully followed. 1t should be kept
in a place not subject to sudden
changes of emperature-preferab "a
dry, light cellar. Similar eggs should
be hatcNed together, as the thlck-shell
Varlttfes require more moisture than
the thinner ones. He finds the brooder
to be less trouble than hens. 1t breeds
no vermin and will raise larger per
cent of the chicks.
2. Varieties. j. j. Strecker favors
Plymouth Rock. 1t is fair layer and
a good table fowl. In any case the
yield of eggs depends upon the care of
the hens.
Albert Stacy also prefers the Ply
mouth Rock as an all-round chicken
In order to have chickens reach the
largest size they should be matched
early in the season.
A large number favor the Leghorn,
as it is fair layer and natures early,
reaching the size of broiling in much
less time than the larger varieties
3, Ducks. Mrs. C. p. Dyar-Rais-
ing ducks is fashionable fad among
poultry men just now. They are hard
to raise and hard to dress, but are ex-
tremely good to eat when someone else
does the work.
After some general discussion the
Club adjourned.

clted and the horse began running
throwing them out of the rig and soon
afterward tearing both hind wheels
cimpletely off the buggy, and coming
on down the noa he overlook Mrs
Harry Lindsay, who was driving to-
ward town with uer little child on her
lap. Her horse was frightened at the
rackeC made by the runaway and be-
gan running. She had presence of
mind sufficient to control the horse as
to the direction taken, and kept him in
The road and steered him around other
vehicles with admirable nerve and
GOODNESS, until the horse in the rear
came up alongside her own, thus
frightening it still more, and it turned
into the yard of the house occupied by
George Thompson, where the swing of
the buggy threw the occupants out on
to the porch.
DIR. John Mcclure was in one of the
rigs which had been passed by the run
aways and hurried to the assistance of
the woman and child. A hasty exam
inatlon showed that no bones were
broken in either case, although Mrs.
Lindsay was very badly bruised about
the face and right shoulder. The child
was only slightly bruised about the

DELAWARE LACKS
ONE SENATOR

Dover, Del, March 13.-After one of
the most exciting scenes that has ever
been witnessed in the general assembly
of this state, the session of 1899 ended
at Los o'clock this afternoon without
coed Hon. George Gray. 1t is the first
line in the history Of the state that there
is an unquestionable senatorial vacancy,
and, owing to the precedent of the upper
house Of congress in refusing to seat
g~ubernatorial appointees after the legis-
lature of a state has had opportunity to
elect, the seat of Mr.. Gray will remain
vacant until the general assembly of 1901
shall choose his successor. At the same
time the term Of Senator Richard r.
kenney will also expire, and it will de-
volvc upon the next legislature to elect
two senator's.
The final ballot, the fourteenth of the
day and the one hundred and thirteenth
of the session, was as follows: John Ed
ward Addicks (union republican,, 81;
Colonel Henry A. Dupont Crepublican), 8;
John Biggs (democraD, 6; e~N-Congress-
man l.. Irving Handy (democrat), 3; eX-
Senator Anthony Higgins (republican), 2.
The time agreed upon for adjournment
sine die was l p. NJ, and when the elev-
enth ballot was completed it lacked IS
minutes to that hour by the house clock,
which was six minutes slow. The demo-
Gratis then adopted fiilibustering tactics
in earnest. The tilibustering was sue
~cessful, and the presiding officer brought
down his gavel as the clock pointed to
the hour of 1. The chamber was in an
uproar in an instant, and it was some
time before quiet was restored.
When President Pro Tenn Salmon an
nounced the general assembly adjourned
sine die at 1:06 o'clock and amid the wild
disorder that followed Messrs. FarloW,
Clark and King, the deserving democrats,
made their way from the chamber with
crowds Of indignant persons at their
heels, threats Of various kinds We're
made against the boilers, who found
refuge in the senate chamber, where
they remained for two hours or more.
The feeling gradually subsidized, although
the men were jeered at as they left the
capitol.
