Last week pronunciamento
from Colonel Soper closed all the
slot machines in this mans town
as tight as a clam. Saturday night
another upore from Uncle Cy's
nephew came bouncing down the
Katy over ties, iron and bridges.
1t was a peremtory demand that
all gambling of whatever nature
specified in mansfield Digest"
shorld be imediately now and i'm
mediately now and forever squel-
ched "without benefit of clergy"
The results of this sweeping edict
was that several of the sporting
fraternity are now in the same po-
sition as was Othello-their occu-
patton is gone.
1t is stated that the orders sup
pressing the avocations of those
gentlemen who bet on pair Of
deuces, or stand pat 'on"three little
trays" or otherwise handle the
pastebeards came from Soper
through Mayor Wisdom and At

acting on these instructions, gave

RIGHTS OF CLAIMANTS.

Editor Chleftaln Will you al
low me the privilege through the
columns of your paper Of asking
the Vinita Leader to explain why
they object to giving the Cherokee
claimants their rights in shis
country? mean those who have
proven the blood and residence
in the nation. 7 want TO knew on
what grounds they wish to fight
us. / have always tried TO act
honestly, andif | can have this
matter so explained that | may see
wherein | am wrong in contending
for my rights and helping others !
will gladly discontinue the fight,
but at the present time | look at
the matter thus:
am simply contending for that
which is mine, and have no desire
to take something that docs not
belong to me. Ii the VinitasLea-
der contends to deprive US Of our
rights, | make this assertion.
They are Of one Of the following
classes, viz: ignornant, prejudiced,
dishonest, wrongly informed, or
are working for popularity; and II
he continues in his 6ght 4 for one,
will help him to the latter.
There has been a time here, Bro.
Leader, when such slang as you
used in your last issue would have
been acceptable to the people, but
now the people Of this country,
especially the more honest class,
look al these things differently,
and | am in hopes that you will
use more consideration in discuss
ing these questions and use only
honest and fair means, for at this
time you are dealing with a class
that have been wronged, perse-
cuted, misrepresented and turned
out homeless; and l defy you to
show where these people have
wronged any one.
1t is true that by giving what
rightfully belongs to us you will
lessen what you now have, but II
you take all we have we will have
nothing; ia other words you are
not losing any Of your own pro-
perty by giving us our rights. We
are human, we have feelings, our
families are dear TO us, and you
should not advocate that which
would rob us. The good book
says "treat thy neighbor as thy
self" and .'thou shalt not steal. !"
am in hopes you will refer your
readers to the above command
ments in dealing with the claim
ant question. Now in conclusion,
dear Leader, as one of your friends,
not as a Zoe, | trust you will weigh
these matters in both hands, deal

L.lttle BIII Win Amendments.

II is gratifying to see few OF
the territory papels coming 10
their senses on the subject of Lit
ties tax bill for the schools. For
a time il seemed that the South
McAlester Capital, The Vinita
Chieftain and the Courier we're
the only papers that doubted the
wisdom of the bill. They have
the company Of the Muskcgee
Times now and before long the
entire press of the territory will
see the iniquity Of bill that takes
away the schools from the towns
and puts them under the control
of the Indian agent, who already
has more to do than he can we'll
look after. Then again, the
scheme Of taxation is wholly
wrong, and inequitable. Any
thing resembling an occupation
tax is sure to bear unequally upon
the people liable to it. No one
thinks the burden should be
thrown on the town to support the
school for the entire country, yet
that is what is done by the Little
bill. 1t chances for failure are
Frightening. .-Claremore Courier

Wherever the American Cutton Co.'S
roundlap presses were operated last
season higher prices prevailed for cot
ton whether bailed round or square.
In order to get cotton, square bale

t Sam, in his boyhood days. was a great

mire hole and in extricating his feet pull

happened after dark. Inc he was unable
to recover his shoe, and when he re-
turned to the spot early on the next
morning it had disappeared.
As fate willed it. the school teacher had
been invited to Inner at the plantation
on that day. and as all of Sans old
shoes had been given to the colored help
he was forced to. enter the dining room

came out about the truan playing.

From Longman's: There used to be
In Paris" says Sydney Smith, under the
old regime, a few women Of brilliant
talents who violated all the common
duties of life, and gave very pleasant
little suppers." There is no Whittier de-
scription of the Salonieres.
The salon, as ar institution, is wholly
and exclusively French. The practical
mind of England always wants to be do
ing. The mind Of France is more easily
content to talk. In it's salons 1t talks to
some purpose. They are the forcing
houses of the revolution, the nursery Of
the encyclopedia, the antechamber of the
Academic. Here are discussed free
thoughts and the rights Of men, in
trigues, politics, science, literature. Here
one make love, regulations, bons-mots,
epigrams. Here meet the brilliancy, COR
ruIltion, artificiality of Did France, and
the boundless enthusia SINS which are to
form a new.
The S%alonieres have passed, like their
salons, forever. In the rush and hurry
of modern life there is no time even for
women to max conversation a cultivated
