MACHINES OR INDEPENDENCE

We regret TO see that our good neighbor 'The
Brooklyn Eagle" continues to disapprove our
approval of the decision of the Court of Appeals
reinstatng Senator Coffey in the Democratic
General Committee THE Eagle" says that the
power of expulsion is necessary for self -protec-
ton, and thinks the law as interpreted by the
Court of Appeals should remain law only until
the Legislature can change 1t so that party dis
cipline is possible. We have held that 1t was
not properly in the power of party committee
TO go beyond the law prescribing what consti-
tuted voter a good party man and establish
additional requirements, and discipline fellow
committeeman for failure to be different SORT
of a member Of the party from what the law
called upon him to be when it erected the Marty
into q state within the state and made ii the
sole practicable vehicle of that citizens politi
cal activity. The Court of Appeals takes the
same view.
When asked to justify our position and that
of the Court OF Appeals we are at loss to find
Brooklyn Eagle In criticism of the decision of
the Appellate Division upholdng Cofrey's expul-
son the overriding of which by the Court of
Appeals now meets with its disapproval On
June 6, 1900, THE Eagle" In an article entitled
rs 1t a Law to Suppress Independents 2"
pointed out that the Appellate Division "be-
'lieves the County Committee has, under the
law, the power to expel members for violating
Its rules and regua tons, and therefore ii had
power to expel Senator Coffey The Justice
however. seems TO assume that the Senator

twas expelled for disregard OF the purposes
'of the organization rather than for the viola
"tion Of any specific regulation for he says that
unless the committee had power to discipline
Its members 1t would be possible for men to
"hold seats in it who would destroy Its useful
mess. He holds also that in the absence OF
specific law on the subject there Is an Inherent
power In every body for its own protection,
land that the law under which the County
Committee is organized confirms that power
by providing for rules and regulations" That
is the view of the minority of the Court of
Appeals, which 1.-The Eagle" now approves. At
that time The Eagle" said:
The decision of the Appellate Division is to the
effect that the County Committee acted within
its rights when it expelled him for this onence,
it had a grant OF power to make rules and
regulations for its own government. If this law
had been in existence in the Low campaign
every independent member Of the Republican
County Committee of the ward committees or
of the election district associations could nave
been expelled for failure to support the candi-
were told was framed for the purpose OF protect
ing the rights Of the voters has been interpreted
in way to take from minority all indepen-
dence in local elections and to force men who
desire to work with the party organization in
State and National matters to work with 1t on
local matters also, pain of the denial to
them of the right to work with 1t at all. 1t Is a
law IN the interests Of the party machines. The
court Of course had nothing to do with this
part OF It, 1t only trying to decide what
It meant. The responsibility for it's provisions
rests on the Legislature that passed 1t.
If this decision stands those Democrats who
are not pleased with the relation of some of the
city officials to favored businesses and who de-
sire to oppose the election next year OF the can
didates Of the political organization to which
those officers belong Will oppose them on pain OF
expulsion from the party organization, and we
shall have the edtfying spectacle Of State Con-
stitution providing for municipal elections in
years when State and National officers are
chosen, so that there might be independence OF
action in those years, running along with a law
which makes it possible for the party organiza-
lions to punish their members for independent
action in off years.
Therefore 1.-The Eagle" urged Senator Coffey
to appeal that in case the Court OF Appeals
should decide that this was the law it might be
amended next winter In the interest Of indie
pendence and good citizenship. The Court Of
Appeals says that such is not the law, but that
what independence and good citizenship re-
CURED is. We hope 1.-The Eagle" will forgive US
If we are not yet ready to join it in advocating
the counter amendment Of the law in the in
teresr Of party machinery and bosses disci-
pine We prefer a law which suppresses
machines to one which suppresses independence.

the election tomorrow that there is one local
office to be filled. and that they have a chance
to rebuke Crokerism in the city we'll as in

elected. and the Republican candidate is Rob-

family. college lecturer on law. and a man OF
the highest professional and personal standing
The Croker candidate is Francis B. Delahanty
who owes his nomination to the fact that he is
a brother-in-law OF ex-senator Edward Murphy.
1r Much disanection exists In Tammany Hail

ANENT JUDGE SPRINGER.
Better Seek Advice From
FuIIbIoods.

Editor Chieftain:-"Chief Buff
fington will leave for Washington,
d. c., tomorrow to confer with
Judge Springer in reference to
affairs OF the Cherokee nation"
Why not go to the Wolf Coon, or
Red Bird, or even that dauntless
wildfire patriot, the Muskrat?
Any one of these men would give
him just as profitable advice Sin
reference to affairs of the Cherokee
nation" as any that he will ever
be able to elicit from the lips Of
Judge Springer, and that too with
out money and without price; in
deed just the same advice, in the
end, that Judge Springer will give;
and Chief Burlington will take it
at the rate of $1,000 per annum;
that's to say, "Go and submit, as
gracefully as you can to the inevi-
table"
If there has been anything more
specially wanting in the make up
of Cherokee craftsmanship during
the last two or three administra-
tions-more wanting than anything
else, 1t has been the capacity to
see and duly appreciate the natural
distinction between things. 1t has
never been able to see the true ma
tufe of the issues that have arisen,
and are still to rise, between our In
dian people and the United States.
We have been falsely told by law
yers wanting jobs, that there issues
of law requiring the services of
learned counsel; and our chief have
all been weak enough to believe
them; whereas, in fact, they have
been purely issues OF public poll
cy,n demanding the service of
men and money, or nothing.
Would you know more particular
ly what anissue of public policy"
is2 Go ask President Kruger the
Boer, Aguinaldo, or the queen Of
Spain iamenting the loss OF her
jeweled archipelagoes.
"Public policy" is a demon that
stalks among nations with its
fingers perpetually in its ears, it
hears neither the groans Of misery
nor the appeals of reason. With
power enough behind it, it over
rides all opposition, laws, treaties,
constitutions, guarantees, with all
sacred obligations, moral as well
as legal, all, all 60 down in a COM
mon mass OF ruin under Its re-
morseless tread. 1t awes all mag
istracies into abject subserviency;
the courts Of justice tremble at its
approach, and weave their Opin-
ions to accord with its behests.
In the trial OF issues raised in
this way, lawyers are back num-
bers. Yet Chief Burlington fails
TO see the point. In such cases it
is always wisdom on the part of
weak and helpless people like the
Cherokees, to decline the issue
absolutely; to sit down and let the
ruthless demon Of public policy"

haNo ils oWu Why, Onu, just OF un-
just, like the philosophic Wolf
Coon and his friends, accept the
inevitable md endure 1t with his
toric Indian fortitude.
For this Is what, in our case, it is
finally coming to. 1t is not, and
never will be. in the power of
Judge Springer, or any other law
yer, to cause the government of
the United States to deviate sin
gle hair from its 6xed policy in
reference to these Indians.
At any rate, from any reasonable
point of view, fudge Springer
would seem to be about the last
man on earth in whom the Chero-
KEGS could reasonably expect to
find reliable champion in this
hour of their adversely, In con-
gress, be was among the very first
to begin the ring-fre about these
Indians with a view to scorching
their distinctive communities out
of existence. He argued that
"public policy" required that our
territory should be opened up, and
cleaned up, and turned over into
other and better hands. He ac-
complished this work; and such is
his attitude today in reference TO
our distinctive Indian interests in
this territory.
And now the question comes up
in very legitimate way: How
and when, if ever, was Judge
Springer converted from his old
congressional way of thinking and
feeling upon these Indian matters?
II is not at all credible that the
paltry sum of $4,000 per annum
could so far regenerate him in
heart and soul as to enable him to
go before the court and maintain
with sincerity that the same pub
lie policy" which he so strenously
advocated short time ago, is now
all unjust and that the Cherokees
have been badly wronged by 1t? No
man can fight to much advantage |
the bracing encouragement
Of his convictions. A mere mer-
is not to be trusted.
The upshot of the whole matter
will be just what has been usual
IN such cases. After a few dis
plays of professional activity on
part Of his accomplished attorney, /
Chief Burlington will be told that
he case has gone against him;
hen will follow a little rumbling
leep down in the ground, which
will grow rapidly into an earth
quake, followed by a rascally
knocking the bottom out
If the Cherokee treasury. That
$ all that the Cherokees have to
nope for in the championship of
Judge Springer. This being the
'ase, let the reader determine
which outcome be would prefer,
