HE REMEMBERED HIM.
Him Was Anything But
Flnttering.

To see ones self as Others see him
is always interesting, if not flatter-
ing. "When | recently went to visit
my parents, who live in an agricul-
turaI region out west" said we'll
known New York newspaper man, re-
lates the Troy Times, 81 one day met
a farmer on whose property | had
worked for time when a boy. My
old acquaintance did not seem to rec
ognize me, and, thinking that ne had
entirely forgotten me, | asked him
if he did not remember a neighbor's
son, mentioning his name, to whom
he gave employment about 20 years
ago. Yes said the farmer, ] shall
never forget him, for he was the worst
boy in the community, boy who was
as frisky and clipper as could be
when there was no work to do, but
who always had a bad pain when
there was water to be carried to the
harvest hands, or firewood to be
fetched in. or the COWS to be hunted,
or the grindstone to be turned; a boy
who was always at work at the rab-
bit trap, or a machine to hull walnuts,
or sawmill, or something; a boy who
had dam across every stream in this
section and a futter wheel a-going at
every dam. That's the only boy l ever
knew by the name you've mentioned
! saw that he hadn't entirely forgot
ten me, and / asked: What do you
suppose that boy is doing nowg I

itative way. but expect he is in
Jail. he ought to be. anyway, if he is
still alive and hasn't reformed No,
he is not in jail 1 said, thinking !
would surprise him; he is the editor
of a newspaper 'Well.' answered
the old farmer. slowly. after changing
his quid of tobacco from his left to

The Muskogee Times has at last
been converted to the doctrine that
party politics should have no place
in municipal elections. This has
been the belief of the Chieftain al
ways. 1t were the height of folly
for small town, or a large one
either to divide its forces on ma
tional issues. The city govern
ment should be administered in
an absolutely non-partisan man
ner. National politics should
have no place in city affairs.
Many of the large cities of the
country are beginning to realize
ihis fact.

The death OF Queen Victoria Of
England closes the longest and
most illustriols reign Of any ruler
among all the potentates Of CEN
iury. After all has been said and
written about the good queen the
world will settle down to the con-
yiction that her chief charm was
that of model wife and mother.
The home life of the queen was
one. Of peculiar simplicity and
beauty, and as such it transcends
its political glory as the sun ex-
Geeds the stars in light.

KEEP POSTED.

The present is period OF great
suspense in the Cherokee nation
and throughout the Indian terri
tory. The agreements with the
Cherokees and Creeks are pending
in congress, with the almost abso-
lutte assurance of being finally rat
ified before adjournment on March
Ahe 4th. The Cherokee treaty will
be submitted to a popular vote of
the Cherokee people some time
this spring or summer. This is an
event of great moment to the peo-
pie of this country, both citizens
OF the tribe and United States citi.
zsns.
Everybody wants to keep posted.
The papers will be read with
greater interest than ever before.
The Weekly Chieftain goes out
regularly to more people in the
Cherokee nation than the COM
bined circulation Of any other two
papers printed in the northern dis
trict. It's facilities for gathering
and printing all the reliable news
pertaining to the territory are un-
surpassed. The year 1901 is the
year Of all that you cannot afford

Enquiries about the pending
agreement are coming in by every
mail. As a general answer to all
The Chieftain will state that the
agreement has passed both houses
Of congress. The senate amended
il in some very important partic-
ulars and it is now in the hands OF

houses of congress and will be re-
ported for passage as agreed upon

sions. The readers Of the Chief
iain will be kept fully informed

The republican cohorts Of the
Indian territory may succeed in
the removal of Judge Thomas
from the federal bench, but it will
be a long time before successor
is chosen who will preside with
more dignity and ability, and
whose decisions will bear closer
scrutiny. Judge Thomas is one Of
the few really strong men that
have been appointed to office in
this country under either of the
two great political parties. The
views OF the president Of the
United States upon great constitu-
tional questions has not been suf-
fcient to silence Judge Thomas in
his official utterances relative
thereto Whatever may be The
political differences one may hold

The initiative step in the en-
forcement OF that portion OF the
Curtis bill relating to excessive
land holding in the Cherokee ma
ton has been taken by the govern
ment in the indictment by the re-
centvinita grand jury OF two Cher
okee citizens who are alleged to be
in possession Of more than their
prorata shares OF the common do
main. One Of the parties indicted
is white man, an intermarried
citizen, and the other is
Shawnee Indian also an adopted
citizen. A fairer test would have
been the indictment and trial of a
straight Cherokee by blood. II
will be interesting to note the final
outcome OF these cases. If the
tribal laws and usages are followed
there is no chance of conviction as
there is no law against excessive
holdings. If these men are in
lega. possession Of the land in
question it is a question whether
they can be convicted under the
Curtis law. "We shall see what
we shall gee.

A GREAT DAY FOR CORNELL.
For the First Time PennsyIvania's
Eleven is Defeated

The University of Pennsylvania foot ball
team ended it's disastrous season yesterday
with a crushing defeat at the hands Of the
Cornell University eleven. the Ithaca boys
scoring "a points to the Quakers 6, on
Franklin Field. 1t was the first time since
the two universities have played foot ball
together that Cornell has been able to
conquer Pennsylvania.
A noticeable feature Of Corneli's attack
was the fine interference for the runner in
open plays. Two of her touchdowns were
made solely through the good help given
the man with the ball. On the defense Cor
nell was like stone wall 1t was near the
end of the first half before Pennsylvania
was able to make first down.
Owing to the severity of the weather the
undergraduates of Cornell had no outdoor
celebration of the victory over the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania foot ball team at
Ithaca yesterday, but last night the stu
dents, overfiowing with joy. filled all the
public resorts. They shouted and sang
with delight and when the players return
it is planned to give them a grand recep-
ton. While the game was in progress
fully 2000 students and townspeople. for
nearly three hours. braved the intense cold
and snowstorm. to watch the progress Of
the ball, as traced on blackboard.

A GLORIOUS AGE


In another column will be found a
review of the trade situation. Never
before in the history of the United
States" it-says.-- was there such great
reason for a day Of national thanks
giving. This country has made un-
precedented strides toward a position
of International supremacy, not only in
commerce.. but in finance"
1t is, indeed, proud time for the
United States. There is an abundance
of work, and there are plenty of will
ing hands to perform it. All the peo-
pie Of the nation are busy, and they
are meeting, as a rule, with fair re-
turns for their industry, The future
is glorious because there is so much
vet to be done. The nation, still so
young, is but well entered upon its
tasks. In its youth it towers high and
strong among the greatest powers OF
the world Who, looking about him,
can doubt as to the future? Every
where there is inspiration to labor and
incentive to high ambition.

but it is worth considering. The story
was first published in the San Fran
cisco Call. A confirmation was pub
lished in the Seattle Evening Times.
The Times in it's article lays great
stress on the story obtained from Fred
Clark, formerly a stage driver in this
city, but who has been in the Yukon
for some time, and admits a knowledge
of the Order of the Midnight sun,
which is supposed to have been or
ganized for the sole purpose of the
rebellion.
1t is claimed that the order was
originally organized in strict secrecy
in Dawson in 1900 and that from there
it spread along the Yukon, with
branches as far as Circle City on the
one direction and Skagway and Attn
in the other direction. 1t is claimed
that men came to Seattle in the in
terests Of the uprising and solicited
support in the way of financial con-
tributions. The Times says that no
arms were bought. The total member
ship of the Order of the Midnight Sun
is placed at 1900, although. the members
confidently expected outside assistance.
which would bring the total of the
army of Instruction up to almost 5000.
The Times says that in the early
days of the organization a circular was
issued and secretly distributed to dis
affected miners on the upper Yukon,
in which 10 different clauses were given
as being. reasons for an uprising. Thes~
dealt with defective mining laws, cor
ruption of officials, royalties, liquor
traffic and gambling, delays in the
court. British Columbia alien act du-
ties. miners and loggers' licenses, re-
cording fees and boundary disputes.
A similar circular was handed to
business men of Skagway. in which
they were solicited for aid to support
the enterprise. For time Clark made
his headquarters at the latter place.
it is said, conducting junta of the
order
The plotters, according to the Times,
anticipating no trouble in getting
enough men together to overpower the
mounted police at different towns of
the interior. The raid was to be start
ed on the border and as fast as town
was overpowered a revolutionary gov
eminent was to be installed. Local
officials were to be seized and held as
hostages.
The raid was to be started immedi-
ately after the close Of navigation and
the telegraph lines to Dawson were to
be cut in a dozen different places. The
leaders are said to -have-believed that
the Canadian government would be
months in. getting in men, and that at
last it would be compelled to make
terms with the insurgents before they
laid down their arms.
The conspiracy is said to be dead,
owing to the publication Of its secrets.

CHINESE EXCLUSION

The Chinese exclusion act should
never be renewed. Let it die a natur-
al death. What has this nation to fear
from a Chinese immigration? The
same barrier against illiteracy and
crime that is raised against all nation
alities would apply to the Chinese. 1t
is a barbarous, heathenish law-the
work of demagogues and towards not
Of patriots. AS we would resent a
law passed by any other nation to ex-
clude Americans so we should refuse
to enact phohibitory legislation against
any nation or race. 1t is bigotry. This
law has been a national shame. We
cannot hold the Philippines and Ha-
vail or intercede in Chinese affairs
with honor or decency If this exclu-
sion act is renewed.
