The Cherokees have for the past sew

had a better code than the Cherokee
Nation. Below we give the title to q

law makers at an early date as the fol-
lowing will shows
An act tor the protection of public

An act relative to public schools

and in time increased this number to
over 200. In addition to this, the Coun-
Gil provided for the erection and main
tenance of the Male and Female Semi
naries.
AS far back as 1899 the Cherokee Ma
ton had a law against the amalgama-
ton of Cherokees with negroes with
severe penalty.
another law. passed 1870, was against

other in order to accomplish the rob-

PUT IN A PROVIsU.

1t is a favorite pastime nowadays to
make up estimates Of the Presidential
vote in November, and of course these
estimates are @colored by the political
leanings of the ones making them.
Some Of our ardent and optimistic Re-
publican friends elect Roosevelt with
from two to hVe dozen electoral votes
to spare. Then an equally enthusiastic
Democrat will elect the Democratic
ticket by safe majority and give us
the figures to prove 1t. Then again.
we have the man who pretends to have
no bias towards either side and he
makes both sides doubtful. He wants
to let all down easy.
1t is easy enough to predict, but the
fulfillment is different proposition
and the man who wants to be sure had
best wait till after the election to make
up his table. Then If he is good at
figures he will have a chance to make
u correct estimate. There is one
thing we can tell Democratic esti-
matters. however, that they should
always interpolate into their tables,
and that is that the st. Louis conven-
tion shall act sanely and sensibly. Make
UP list of States that our Party can
rely on. provided a good man Is nomi-
mated on a good platform. That may
be hedging to some extent, but it is
the only safe way to bet on this game.
If the Party shall repeat the follies
of 1896 and 1900 we really are not pre-
pared to swear that there will be any
safe Democratic States. If 1t even
leans in that direction the safe States
will be limited to a bakers dozen or
less. If 1t fails to distinctly ana
decisiveiy let alone Kansas City's mis-
take the list of doubtful States will
cover the country like a blanket. The
convention must speak plainly and I'M
equivocally or the Democrats need not
claim anything for 1t would be a plain
game of blur. The Party can make
no inroads on Republican preserves ex-
cpet by proving to the people that it
can be trusted. A man like Olney or
Parker or Cleveland or Gray, with a
good platform will have more than a
chance to win against Roosevelt. A
man like Hearst or Bryan on a Popu-
listic or doubtful platform will be de-
feated as !, soon as the convention
finishes it's work. So. in predicting be
sure to insert a saving clause.

cAss.Tr AND KNOX.

There is much food for reflection in
the appointment OF Attorney General
Knox to succeed Quay in the Senate
and particularly in the way this mas
been brought about. There Is a re-
quirement in the state Constitution
that the Governor shall, in given
time. call the Legislature in extra ses-
sion to fll a vacancy in the Senate.
Letting that pass, however, how has
Governor Pennypacker figured In this
appointment of Knox? He has II Is
true, been compelled to open his mouth
to instruct a clerk to prepare the COM
mission. with the signing of the
commission his duty in filling up the
vacancy will have been discharged
wholly and completely. He. was never
once consulted as TO the choice to be
made for Quay's successor. This Is not
due to Pennypacker's lack of oharac-
ter, though he has not much to spare.
1t is due to Pennsylvania politics and
the methods that prevail there.
The selection was made in the ONCE
of the President OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The Public Ledger. a Re-
publican newspaper states coolly that
ell the conferences were had in Presi-
dent Cassatt's private room; that this
man was debated and rejected and
another debated and rejected and each
time by Cassatt. Penrose and Dur
ham would go hither. and thither re-
turning to President Cassatts room
to learn what the Pennsylvania rail-
road was willing to do, whom 1t was
willing to accept. The end was the
road had q candidate of its own to pro-
pose and Knox is the man. The STAN
dard road of America needed a repre-
sentative in the United States Senate.
Since the death of General sewell of
New Jersey that corporation has not
been served in the Senote as well as
its owners would like. They had once
camped on government reservation
/ the Mall, in Washington. sewell had
been able to force Congress to pay the
| road millions to get OF the reserva-
ton. They need man that can
achieve things like that. Penrose
cannot, nor could Elkin or Oliver. Can
Knox? That remains to be seen.
Certainly no man ever entered the
United States Senate more plainly

longs to the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t
will not seem a consideration of honor.
but one of simple deceney to him. to
do the bidding OF the corporation that
through it's commanding influence in
the politics of Pennsylvania, has put
him in the Senate, not as the states
representative. but as its own.
OF course Roosevelt had to be con-
suited; a member of his oficial family
was to be taken from him. He con-
sented; nay he applauded. He badly
| needs some of that corporations money
with which to run his personally con-
Quoted campaigns The withdrawal of
his trust-buster from the cabinet will
not make 1t any more plain than 1t
has been at all times that he was play

Illegal combinations of capital. He
hopes Knox may now be able to get

Gold In Alabama.

There are millions of dollars worth
of gold in the mountains of Talladega,
Clay, Cleburne. Randolph and Coosa. 1t
has been known from the earliest times.
for the Indians told the Spaniards of
1t, and DeSoto went through this State
to hunt for 1t. 1t was still in the
ground, and DeSoto did not attempt to
dig 1t out. Since that day there have
been frequent but irregular efforts to
get the sold. Strange to say that with
the gold plain to the naked eye, the
veins open to measurement, no well
directed EFFORT has ever been made to
get the gold in a business-like way.
Many pounds of gold have been taken
out in a desultory way, and some eff
forts have been made TO work the ores,
but more with capital. The experience
of the gold fields is that a man can
make fair wages placer mining If he
does his own work with his own hands.
All efforts to work a few men with a
small mill have failed to pay The
mills do not get the gold the assays
show with new methods and plenty
of capital 1t may be that the mines Will
pay richly. The gold Is there, and with
that foundation fact paying method
ought 10 be found. Either Mr. Nor
gan or some other man with money
will reap millions from that gold prop
erty. There Is vast stretch of IL, and
the richness is known, but IT. will re-
quire large capital TO get results.

The south to the Rescue.
Chicago Chronicle.

SilIdEO 0nEOuiCIe
Disguise the matter as they may,
Northern Democrats must within a few
weeks face the fact that il there is to
be Democratic Party in this country
1t Is to find its rescuers in that section
of the republic which a genera ion ago
repudiated Douglass and eight years
ago abandoned Cleveland.
The Democratic Party in many parts
most people Smagine. Its aBlest men
are In retirement. Hundreds OF thous-
ands or Its most Intelligent supporters
have been forced for so long time
to act with the Republicans that they
no longer pretend to afflliate with it.
In only a few States is there anything
approaching genuine Democratic or
ganization, and even in these the men
IN control of the party know not at
what instant some predatory bands OF
Socialists or Populists may displaoe
them.
1t Is not possible that anything like
a cohesive political party can be form
ed out of the warning tribes which now
in various parts of the country are op-
Grating under the Democratic name.
If there Is to be the faintest prospect
of success now or hereafter there must
be first OF all a genuine Democratic
party, with a Democratic creed and a
Democratic leader. To secure these
the plan and the purpose must be 20
exclude from the organization the rad
icals who have made the very name of
Democracy a byword and a reproach.
Sucn a cellVerance may be had under
the leadership of Judge Parker. 1t ceI~
tainly can be had under the leadership
of MIR, Cleveland.
A third party made up 81 Popullsts
and other destructives was in the field
in 1899 and IL drew more heavily from
the Republicans than 1t did from the
Democrats. If q similar condition OF
AFFAIRS could be brought about this year
There are hundreds of thousands Of
Democrats and independents who will
vote for Democrat like Cleveland ana
perhaps for Parker who will not vote
for Populist, a Socialist or a strads
dler.
Some OF the greatest disasters which
have befallen the Democratic Party
have been the result of Southern in
fatuation ana error. There would he
no reason to look to that quarter for
wisdom and cirouinspection at this time
were 1t not for the fact that the South
has powerful selfish reason to desire
the maintenance of a national Demo-
cratic party So far as can be seen, 1t
has no motive whatever to seek the
overthrow OF that organization. It
may depend upon &c that one more such
campaign as those of 1896 and 1900
will leave 1t as possible allies at the
North the biggest Republican party
that 1t ever faced and a disreputable
aggregation of radicals with whom 1t
will find II equally difficult TO do bust
ness.
What is left of the true Northern
Democracy will not survive another
four years such as those which 1t has
experienced since the Chicago Conven-
fiOn

cal political alliances will result in the
selection of a delegation from Illinois

A few of us know that in many
Northern schools a girl is not allowed
to graduate until she Is proficient in
domestic science. Let me beg you to
keep this subject before the people till
public opinion demands that our schools
Incorporate 1t in our system of public
instruction.
This domestic science idea, so prom
inent now in the foremost States OF the
Union, is one of the healthiest signs
OF the times, and is wholesome reae-
ton from the unrest that carried wo-
men into so many paths that led away
from home and children.
Women are learning that their pres
ence among public wage-earners often
confuses economic problems, Withdraw
ing. as 1T does. an indensable force from
household production, increasing the
COSI OI living Wnlle decreasing tile
value of labor. Some thinkers on the
subject so so far as to say that IN
skilled female labor in Its effects on
wages and subsistence Is as abnormal
and pernicious as convict labor; be this
as 1t may, admissible or non-admissible
OF proof, there are localities and con-
dttions where 1t Is ineontrovertible.
The signs are many that men and
women are realizing that no university
courses nor political nor social eman-
cipation can alter the truth that wo-
mans highest destiny Is home ma king.
This truth should be Impressed on girls
at school as well as at home; and as
most of the lives of girls. under our
system of public instruction, is passed
in the school room, the education
given there should by all means train
them for domestic usefulness and hap
piness 1t costs something to have
each department of instructlon-but to
leave this out costs more ultimatel .
than to incorporate 1t.

many in Montgomery share opinions
and sentiments in conformity with
those expressed in this editorial, For

of advance you win the grateful recog-
milton OF the most patriotic and intelli-

The Albany Herald thinks that The
Montgomery Advertiser has Uncle Lon
down about right in the following:
Iron all accounts Congressman Liv-
ingston OF the Atlanta, Ca, district, has
made more progress Ia the direction of
naming the Democratic nominee than
any other man in America. He has ex-
pressed favorable opinion OF pretty
well every man whose name has been
mentioned, including Mr.. Cleveland,
who once upon a time would not have
even received decent comment at his
hands. Mr.. Livingston 10 a progressive
man and his progress has been very
good considering that he was the
c. ampion OF Weaver and Mrs. L4ase
when they were on their tour stirring
I'm Democratic, discomfort in Georgia.
1t is great change from such a per.
fofmance as that to state OF mind
that allows him to speak even consid-
OF ately OF Mr.. Cleveland"
All tests at the expense OF Congress-
man Livingston aside, there is no
doubling the fact that he has ripened
and broadened very much since his ap-
pearance In Congress. Many who
thought at frst that they could scarce
" tolerate him now regard the Atlanta
Congressman as very useful man In
the House.
1t is far cry from weaver to Cor
man. or Cleveland, and Il is to the ever
lasting credit of Lon Livingston that
he has been able to cover the distance.
