A FRIENDLEss NATION.

In the progress of the trial Of
the Rogers case just concluded il
did not develop that the Cherokee
nation had any friends. The
Cherokees present lent their in
fuence and sympathy to those
who were seeking to escape the
payment of a tax due under their
own laws and payable to their own
people. The attorneys drawing
salaries to defend the interests Of
the Cherokee people were declalm-
ing against the high.handed in
justice of the interior department
in trying to collect the revenues of
the tribe. One attorney declared
in the course of his speech, that
the Cherokees did not need these
taxes and did not want them. If
an individual owed 100000 and
was paying interest on the debt at
the rate of six per cent it would
readily beconceded that he needed
all the money he could get. The
only possible excuse to be offered
is that the money collected by the
agents of the interior department
is not placed to the credit of the
nation but goes into the trousers
Of government officials. This Of
course is to be condemned but
furnishes no good reason for such
action. The Cherokee nation is
in the position Of a friendless or
phan, plundsred and robbed at
home and abroad.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-07-25


1t finally developed among the
closing scenes of the Rogers case
here yesterday that the interior
department had some time ago ar
rived at the conclusion that it
would not be expedient to remove
the cattlemen from the Indian
country for the non-payment of
taxes. Just how much this la
bored opinion cost the festive
cowmen of the Cherokee nation
was not brought out, but it is pret.
ty safe to say they got their legs
pulled enough. Such conduct is
not creditable to the government,
and by it shadow and stain is
cast upon the whole work of the
interior department in the Indian
Territory. The sooner the judi
cial department gets its brogan
under the coat tails of the whole
crowd the better it will be for the
Indian.

TEXAS H0GG.

The Washington correspond
ent of the Louisville Courier-Jour-

story to that paper:
The boys in cloak room of the
house are telling a good story on
Ex-Governor Hogg, of Texas. 1t
seems that on the day of the cleo
ton Hogg was in Chicago, and
Chairman Jones told him that
Bryan would sweep the country.
Hogg had promised his Texas
friends to wire them any good in
side news he obtained as to how
the election would &C, and when
Jones gave him such a straight
tip he rushed off to the first tele-
graph office and wired his law
partner, J. A. Robertson, of Aus
tin, Texas, the following charac-
teristic and re-assuring telegram:
The American people are driv-
ing Imperialism into the Sea of
Oblivion. HoGG.
On receipt of this telegram
Hogg's law partner strobe forth
and bet $500 on Bryan's election.
When the news reached Austin
the next day Hogg's law partner
went to the telegraph office and
blistered the wires betweenTexas
and Chicago with this telegram:
What the devil is Imperialism
and where the--is the Sea of
Oblivion? You owe me $780,
