Cherokee Nation.

Senator Jones, Of Arkansas, pre-
sented to the senate yesterday a
memorial of delegates representing
the Cherokee nation in reference
to the payment TO the Cherokees
Of certain moneys now held in
trust for them. This memorial
says: sour attention has been
called to a memorial presented to
the senate and referred to the COM
mittee or Indian affairs signed by
David Muskrat Daniel Gritts and
Frank Boudinot as executive coun-
Gil Of the Eastern Cherokees. They
ask for the immediate payment to
the Eastern Cherokees of moneys
found due them.
"We desire to inform the senat-
ors and representatives that there
is no tribe or band Of Indians in
the Indian Territory known as the
Eastern Cherokees and that the,
so called council OF the Eastern
Cherokees has no existence except
in the imagination Of certain Che
rokee cilizens. What ever rights
those Indians have. they have as
citizens and members of the Che
rokee nation and the Cherokees
alone have authority to represent
the interests Of such citizens and
to receive from Congress any NOR
eys due the Cherokee nation The
sum Of money which the so-called
Eastern Cherokees claim. is due

made by the experts appointed |
by the Secretary Of the interior,
James Slade and Joseph Bender,
shows that the amount Of 81, ILL.,

due the Cherokee nation.

Campaign RoorbaclS Meets With
Prompt Denial.
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Oct. Is, 1900.--In an
interview Hon. D. 7. Murphy, former
commissioners Of pensions, states that
President Mckinley on the morning OF
Sept. 4, 1899, said to the national cons
mittee on pensions, G.. A. r.: "There is
40 use denying the fact, gentlemen,
that the money power of the country
Is against any further expansion of the
pension roll" The undersigned mem.
bers, only, Of the pension committee,
called on the president by appointment
that morning, and In the interest OF
justice we desire to say that this state-
ment is not true. The president did
not on that occasion, nor at any other
time, make use of any such words, nor
did he make any such suggestion then
Or at any other time, and we were
present at all the conferences between
the president and International commits
tee on pensions from July, 1899, until
the passage of the bill amending the
act of June 27, 1890, i'm May, 1900. At
each conference he unreseryedly ap-
proved the amendments proposed by
the committee and unanimously adopt
ed by the Philadelphia encampment.
More than this, the president freely
gave to the committee the soldiers and
sailors and their dependent ones whom
we represented, his personal aid in se-
curing the passage of the bill. Having
satisfied himself Of the absolute justice
Of the measure, lie did not hesitate to
declare in favor of the amendment of
the act of 1890 and the liberal adminis-
tration of all the pension laws The
president is the earnest and practical
friend of the soldier and sailors of this
country. From the very beginning of
his public career he has given ex-
preston to a sincere regard for his
comrades of the war, and on all proper
occasions he has not failed to declare
himself earnestly in favor Of liberal
administration of the pension laws. In
his official capacity as member of
congress and. as the chief executive of
the nation he has evinced the utmost
concern for liberalized pension legisla-
ton and administration. 1t is a cruel
| and wicked wrong to put into the
| mouth of the president the words
| ascribed to him in this interview. He
does not entertain such sentiments.
The chief executive executes the laws
as enacted by congress, and no presi-
dent in the history Of this republic has
| performed his duty more faithfully in
| this regard than our comrade, William
Mckinley. He was, and is, in thorough
accord with the sentiments of the
Grand Army as expressed at Philadel-
phia and Chicago in the administration
| Of the pension laws, and of this fact
| the national pension committee has full
| knowledge.

In thus taking up newspaper work we
feel that some explanations are due you
who have followed the fortunes of this
paper for SO long time, with varying
interest. As Mr.. Allen stated in his last
issue, the contract for the plant was
made some time last March. when times
were good, and when this section of the
country had as bright future in pros
pect as could be wished for.
Although conditions have changed
considerably since that time, we fulfilled
our agreement, and took charge Of the
plant on Saturday Dec. 1st. We still
have unbounded faith in the future
prosperity of Hope, and of Steele county,
and of our grand young state of North
Dakota. We know that conditions are
most fayorable for big crop next sea-
son; let us all then look forward to the
future, bright with promise, and draw
a lesson of thrift and economy from our
experiences during the past year. If
each one who has suffered from financial
reverses during the past year will only

What Is Involved IL the Prosperity
of the People.
Nobody to-day in his sober senses
questions the honest purpose and fidel-
ity to the principles Of his party either
of President Cleveland or of President
Mckinley. Nobody doubts that the
four years Of the former were the best
that the Democratic party could give
us or that the four years Of the latter
exemplify it's spirit, it's enterprise, it's
humanity and it's helpfulness to every
interest Of the people; and yet one was
a period Of increasing financial and in
dustrial depression and the other OF
good times and prosperity. 1t Is SIM
ply a question which sort of adminis-
tration, which kind of policy, which
application of principle gives the peo-
pie the best results.
I do not believe they are going 10

that postal clerk stole money IN
Havana and has been punished for 1t;
or that the secretary Of the treasury
distributed the surplus money In the

the use of it rather than keep 1t In his
vaults: or that in the tremendous ex-
tent of administrative work during the
war there may have been a mistake in
the amount or quality Of the purchases
Of canned beef. On the contrary, they
will ask: Is labor better employed?
Are more men at work? Are wages

shops idle or busy? Have we more
money to spend? Are we finding a
better market at home and abroad for
the products of our industry? Is our
commerce enlarging? Is the balance Of
trade for or against us? Is our flag
seen oftener on every water Of the
globe? Is our navy growing to be
commensurate with our national needs?
Are we meeting the responsibilities and
opportunities opened to us by the re-
suit of the Spanish-American war? Are
we according education and American
institutions to the islands Of the sea
that are ours? Are we sending to them,
upon the commissions charged with
