The institution of a rock pile
would benefit Vinita in several
ways. 1t would mean that The
chronic hoodlum would change his
route, after bis first ten days
stand, and that the city would
have bstter streets 1t is the only
way in which the city can be rid
den of these troublesome nuis-
ar ces, and it offers an opportunity
to get something besides trouble
out Of them before they emigrate.
Macsdamized streets would i'm
prove the town, and the hoodlum
solves the question of how to OBJ.

That the Secretary Of the Inte'
rior does not intend to allow the
several nations any voice in the
towusile appraisementis strikingly
shown in the Choctaw muddle.
His removal and reappointment Of
Smiser will shut out the nation en-
tirely, so FAR as representation on
the board OF commissioners is con-
cerned. Gov. Dukes will not be
allowed TO appoint national rep
resentalive, as Smiser's appoint
ment by the Secretary completes
the board. That official who de-
serted his people for the Office,
shows The character Of the men en-
trusted with the important work.
The Hitchcock way or none" is
the departments ultimatum to the
Indian, and unfortunately there is
no redress. Tho sooner the In
dian becomes divorced from the
Interior Department and assumes
the full privileges Of American cit-
izenship the better. Until then
he will never receive justice.

Which of these delegations will
cit in the next council? This is
the question which is responsible
for the unusual activity in things
political these warmish days.
There is an evident desire on
tue part of each trio to see that the
other is the one which will seek
the chilly precincts Of the tall tim.
ber when the snow commences TO
ly, and that makes il interesting.
The alleged devious doings of
the Downing election officials in
vinita precinct of the Delaware
district is where the rub comes in
that may wipe the Dames OF their
delegation returned as elected from
the council pay rolls.
All of these are stated in the
papers that attorney S. +. Parks
has prepared for The contest before
the council. Alter reciting the
laws governing elections in the
Cherokee nation, the indictment
becomes specific.
1t is charged that fraud of the
crudest character was pracIiced Sy
the Downing officials, VIII" were
the Pooh Bahs of the election.
Their exact mOdus operandi is de-
scribed as follows:
When an elector presented him
self to cast his ballot his name was
taken and if be was not Of the
dominant faith the list OF candi-
dates were concealed from his
view, and when bis vote was reg
istered it was placed in different
column from the candidates for
whom be offered to cast his vote.
As consequence the returns show =
ed Downing majority Of marve
lous proportions.
TIE contestants aver tnHt thls
majority represents naught, save
the fact that the Downing's recog.
nizsd an opportunity when they
saw one, and incidentally worked
it to frazzle. Tney petition that
the returns from the precinct be
thrown out, which is equivalent to
the seating Of their delegation, as
their candidates received ma
iority in the remaining precincts
OF the district.
Upon what lines the Downing's
will conduct the defense has not
been announced, but it is strongly
hinted th At their fight will be made
before the council convenes. The
! Nationals and Peoples party
leaders are, as a consequence
watching for any suspicious chang'
OF heart among their followers an'
promise trouble of high degree 1,
the first convert.

There are two questions OF the
.post vital import to the Cherokee
nation soon to be decided. Of
these the leasing Of oil lands TO

is the most important, meaning

and the chances appear against
him in the lease question, it is to

who had made possible his nomination
and election tried their best to dis
suade him and failed. What influences
prevailed to carry Mr.. Reynolds into
the camp of the party wreckers, and
thus practically betray the important
legislative interests of his district,
am not prepared to say. But 1t gives
me pleasure to note the fact that his
three colleagues stood firm as rocks
against temptation without parallel in
the history of Pennsylvania politics.
DOODLE IN POLITICS.
II tell you. when O young man goes
to Harrisburg without dollar, and an
offer is put before him OF sum OF
money which In some Instances ranged
as high as $25,000. and this for the pur-
pose of inducing him to remain away
from a caucus of his party or enter
into fusion arrangement with the
enemy, It takes backbone Of no un-
common dimensions TO remain true to
his honor and political pledges. The
wonder Is not that a few men before
whom this temptation was placed sue
cumbed, but that more did not fall. I
am not speaking at random. The facts
in many instances are known, and IL
any man doubts them 1t will not be a
great while until the doubt will be re-
moved by developments which will re-
echo throughout the commonwealth.
The greatest conspiracy. of modern
politics has failed, but the task of
cleaning out the crooked architects OF
1t remains, and It will be attended to
with neatness and despatch"

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.
Those Who Are Seeking Election to
Board/bf Revision and Appeal.

Board(of Revision and Appeal.
Unless b special meeting of the select
councilUs called there can be no elec-
tion held before two weeks to fill the
vacancies in the board of revision and
appeal caused by the designations Of
ex-Councilman David II. Reese, Nor
ris V. Morris and Simon Thomas.
BY some mischance the select council
failed to accept the designations,
though the common council acted upon
them. 1t was entirely an oversight, as
the general impression seemed to pre-
vail at the close of the meeting that
they had been accepted. The select
branch does not meet again for two
weeks, and it is not thought that any
effort will be made before that time
to hold a special meeting. The elec-
tion will have to take place at a Joint
meeting of both branches of councils.
There are a number OF candidates al
ready in the field. including Edwin @.
Hughes, o. b. Wright and David NJ.
Owens. The usual number of council
manic candidates may also be expected
to be heard from, though a strong sem
timent against the election Of council
men is developing.
ooHe members OF tne council, lnclud-
Ing Select Councilman Chittenden are
In favor of not electing any successors
to those who have resigned, for the
reason that the second class city law
entirely does away with board of re-
vision and appeal.
Under the second class city act the
board OF five assessors Is given the
power of revising and equalizing the
assessment by either reducing or in
creasing the valuation and are directed
to fix such days for the hearing Of ap-
peals as they may see fit.
