Mr.. Cleveland was proper, and showed
the spirit of fairness of the Republi-

That they accomplished nothing is

PROFOUNDEST ABSURDITY YET EN-.
TERINGINT INDIAN POLITICS EXPOSED

The profoundest absurdity yet en-
tcring into Indian politics comes from
the three column article by c. d. Car
ter Ga ChickaSaw-Cherckee in the
Daily Oklahoman lie devotes much
space before reaching the issue, And
goes far back in history selecting his
text "The different Indian tribes of
the Indian Territory" As an exam
pie We will take the Chckasaws, and
by his politically biased process of
reasoning he shows that Andrew
jackson was Il great friend to the In
li0nS, and that he protected their
rights by making a treaty with them
and moving them with an army from
their homes in the South Atlantic do
main. General Andrew Jackson s
record among the Indians was one of
blood, and as president of the United
States, the general who had despoiled
the Indian country, ordered their re-
moval to the west of the Mississippi
and civilization. 'Tis true they made
treaty, but it was after this Demo
cratic despot had made their lands
untenable to the Indian tribes.
As to the Indian Nations following
the flag of the Southern Confederacy,
is not fit subject for the Democrats
to drag into politics; and if the Re
publicans should attempt to, it would
bring up the cry of waving the
bloody shirt" Cater, however, ex-
hibits a narrowness here as well as
= lack of principal.
With these observations the Incl
dent and unpleasantness Of the war
is over, and every lover of peace will
remember it only as part in history,
Carter has this to say; "During
both administrations of President
Cleveland all laws and treaties of the
ChickaSaws were strictly enforced.
We were assisted in the collection Of
the permit and cattle tax by the mill
tary, and the United States troops
furnished to remove intruders and
outlaws from our country" How
