we may enter the New Year. We cannot
change the past, but we can bend all our
energies toward making the future better
than the past. The frame of repining and
Encouragement is fatal to good achieve

resolution almost guarantees it. We arc

FILING Of IMPORTANT SUIT.
FILED IN TWO DISTRICTS TO
RESTRAIN "C0URT PEOPLE"
The Intention of the Indian Govern
ment is to Fight the Applicants
TO a Finish-DeIegations
will Avail Nothing,

Among others. there Is a case
that has been pending in the Unit
ed States court here that has at
tracted more than usual attention
on account of the issue involved.
This case is styled Dukes e.. al
va. Goodall ct, al.
An ARDMoaEITE reporter called
upon the clerk Of the United States
court today, and he announced
that the transcript of the record
was being duly prepared, prepara-
tory to taking an appeal in the
case.
Upon the result of the decisions
in the higher courts hangs the
destiny of the four thousand per
sons admitted to citizenship in
the Ave tribes by DEGREES of Judges
Townsend, Clayton aud Springer.
The suit was flied here and at
South McAlester simultaneously,
and in the prayer of the complaint
the two governors ask that an in
juntion be f'ranted restraining the
court claim people" as a whole
class from occupying. renting, or
In any manner manifesting the
rights of ownership and control
over the lands which they claim
now to own by virtue of their said
citizenship rights.
The matter came up for hearing
a short time ago before Judge
Townsend. on demurrer, and after
being fully advised in the premises
whereupon the Choctaw aud Chick
asaw nations. through their at
torneys Mansfield. McMurry &
Cornish excepted, and prayed an
appeal to the court of appeals AT
South McAlester. which was grant
ed by Judge Townsend.
II appears to be the intention OF
the two Indian governments to
nght these people to a finish. Ii
is expected that a delegation will
go to Washington at the next ses.
sion Of congress to try to secure O
law, whereby the Indians will not
have to carry the mattes through
both the court of appeals for tn,
Indian Territory, and the circuit
court of appeals. at St Louis, but
go direct to the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
This case may entrammel the
fnal adjustment of affairs here fol
years. and on the other hand, con
gress and the proper authoritie,
may overlook it. close the rolls
and proceed to allotment at al
early day. The fact of the mat
ter is. the most ignorant mar
knows as much about it as tn,
learned aud erudite statesman
But we feel assured that right will
prevail, and that all parties will b,
given justice.
