TRIBAL REVENUES.
The outcome of the injunction
auit brought by W. C. Rogers in
tlio United Stales court here and
set fur hearing on the 7th of ne?t
month will bo watched with in-
terest. It is intended as n test
cnne to try the issuo as to the leg-
ality of the proceedings o( the in.
lerior department in the collection
of the tribal revenues. Tho con-
stitutionality of the Curtis act will
be directly in issue; if tho Curtis
bill is shown to bo unconstitution-
al the tribal courts have not been
abolished and therefore tribal
revenues ure not collectable by the
interior department but if the
Curtis law elands mid is (he law of
the land we are at a loss to fee
how the payment of such tax can
be avoided. Waivingthe question
IUU 1UCK V Ulllil'iumj ui iiVuvun-cil
of the law-thu issue must be upon
tho'clauso in tho sixteenth section
of the Curtis bill upon which the
- Indian agent is acting It is as
follows: "
"All royalties and rents here-
after payable to the trlbs shall be
paid under such rules and regal a-
tiun as may be prescribed by the
secretary of ibo interior into the
treasury of tho United States to
credit of the tribe to which they
belong." . -
The intention of congress iifi' in
corporating the above into the
Curtis law was to save to the In-
dians their revenues and if the
law means what it says it means
that all such revenues shall be
paid into the United States treas-
ury to the credit of the Cherokees.
There Js no suggestion that any
part of said revenues shall be used
to pay expences of collection.
. ' INCONSISTENT.
Tho Marcum crowd from this
place ought to agree upon some
sort of a tale that has tho virtue
of consistency ifnot ol entiro truth.
Monday tbey claimed that unleB
another proxy was Bent Marcum
would be defeated. The proxy
was not senf and Marcun was
therefore beaten in tho temporary
organization.
After bolting the convention
they claimed a majority of all tho
delegates. Majorities never walk
out of conventions but stay in and
let tho' minority do the walking.
It Ib a good deal more reasonable
to suppose the Wolverton men
were in the majority and would
therefore control the convention
and the minority not willing to
accept defeat determined to bolt.
At Kansas City the regular organ
halion will have much the advan-
tage and the committee on cre-
dentials will not b.e likely to reo-
nizQ a crowd of disgruntled bolt-
ers. Tho Watts gang held up the

of Cherokeo lands between this

There is nothing more contempt-
iblo than political intolerance.
The man who says that a political
opponent must bo given a black
eye and ruined financially and
eocially is a dangerous element in
the community. Men of breadth
are always willing to respect the
opinions of tho other Bide. To go
about the streetu declaring
vencance again6t a man becaUBo
he does not see fit to lino up at the
call of a coterie of politicians is to
proclaim one's self an as?.
The return of tho contesting

was like two very email boys who
had fallen out at play and had
come home to tell mother about it.

What's to hinder Vinita having
a street fair this year? Thc-street

man Bbould take a practical
interest in as it is an enterprise
having for its object the develop

large crowd of people here and
entertaining them.
David Harum's motto wnB "Do
unto others as you would have
them do unto you and do it fust."
This motto was slightly transposed
at Ardmore but the other fellows
done it fust and done tho identi-
cal thing that was laid out for
them.
The bitter campaign just ended
in the Indian Territory for nation-
al committeeman ended in a split
of the democratic forces just as
bitter personal campaigns gener-
ally end. When a politician gets
beat he generally proposes a bolt.
This WQuld be a gieat year for
the republicans in the Indian Ter-
ritory were the pcoplo allowed to
vote. With a divided democracy
a republican victory would be easy
enough.
That bolt down al Ardmoro
makes ono think of the old"Hoolie
Bell days" in Delaware district.
Whe.i Hoolie didn't have a. ma
jority (and ho generally didn't) he
walked out.
Tho story of 000 delegates walk-
ing out of a convention of less than
1200 will have to be revised. It's
liko tho fish that got off tho hook
before itcould be landed; a mighty
big un.

paign is now over. Thero are no

TOWNSEND'S COURT.
Judge Refuses to Enjoin Col-
lection of Indian Tax
In tho district court yoatorday
tho only buainosa of importance
transacted was tho verdict ol tho
jury in tho case of Leroy Long vs.
Subal Payno and the decision of
Judgo TownBend on tho Indian
tax question.
in tho former caso which was
on trial Friday tho jury yosterday
morning rendered a verdict in fa-
vor of defendant.
Tho Indian tax caso involvod tho
right of tho Indian government to
collect from rron-citizens the per-
mit tax on stock and the 1 per cent
ad valorem tax on merchants.
Tho plaintiffs sought to enjoin
tho Indian collectors from a fur
ther prosecution of their work of
collecting and tho case was argued
very exhaustively by attorneys on
both sides.
. Tho court made quite a lengthy
statement of his position on the
various issues involved and con-
cluded by refusing to grant tho in-
junction asked He qualified his
decision- to tlilo extent however
rated town was upprsinod and sold
according to law tho title passing
to tho non-citizen owners of im-
provements thon he would hold
that the while resident of that par-
ticular town was no longer an in-
truder and would enjoin tho collec-
tion of such taxeB if attempted.
There was one issuo in tho caEe
which will be submitted to the
maator in chancery to mako a re-
port on the facts. This was the
question of whether or not tho In-
dian officials had closed or threat-
ened to close any man's business
house for non-payment of tho 1
per cent tax. The court intimated
that Bhauld tho master's report on
the facts sustain the allegation in
the bill of plaintiffs that ho would
order an injunction to issue to re-
strain such action in the future.
In announcing bis conclusion
Judge TownBend adverted to the
enormous expense which has been
entailed on the United Stales gov-
ornment in its efforts to settle In
dian Territory affaire and created
some amusement by saying that
bad congress absolutely divested
the Indians of titlo to their lands
as he believed it bad a right to do
opening tho same to white settle-
ment and boarding the Indians at
the Fifth Avenue hotel in New
York it would havo been a stroke
of economy for the peoplo of tho
United States. Ardmorite.
MARCUM FACTION BOLT.
Temporary Organisation Did
Not Please Them
The story of tbo Ardmoro con-
vention is soon told It was a
democratic convention and was
not entirely harmonious. Tho
campaign of vilification and abuse
indulged in by tbo two factions
for Col Marcum on one side and
for Dr. A. J Wolverton on tho
other culminated in tho Marcum
crowd bolting tho convention
yesterday afternoon when it be-
came evident that tho Wolverton
men would control

the United States court house and
organized themselves Into a terri-
torial convention. Many of Col.
Marcum's strongest supporters re-
fused to follow the bolters aqd

Gault's next announcement caused
tho bolt. Ho said the oxecutlvo

Davenport of Vinita for temporary

thought thoy saw in the selection
of Divonport their last chanco to
control tho convention and walked
out. Tillotson of Nowata said
tho Cherokeo nation was for
Marcum but bo was no bolter.
He declared the bolters tried to
howl Gault tho chairman down
because they know they wdro in
the minority.

If the tribal tax'is a just debt
against the person refusing to pay
It why not collect it by means of
a civil action in the United States
courts established in the territory
for the determination of causes be-
tween citizen and non-citizen
alike? What is the uso of playing
horse by locking up a business
house and returning the keys to
the owner? It may be right.but

STRIKES THE KEYNOTE.
How Indian I legislation is Ef
fected in Congress.
Editor Qhioftain: Mr. Cooper
member of congress from Iheistate
of Wisconsin tho other nightr
upon tho floor of tho houso when
tbo Chorokeo treaty came up for
ratification was right said ho:
"I would liko to ask somo mom
ber of the committee who reported
this bill a question or two. My
attention has nevor been called to
it until tonight. I notico that tho
bill relates to a very important
-subject matter tho affirming or
non-affirming of mineral leases
cutting up property into townsitcs
and tbo allotment of it to tbo In
dians all very important legiela
lion indeed. Now tuts Dili was
introduced in tho houso on tho
23rd of last month and reported
on tho 25th and now we are asked
to pass it with only six or eight
members in tho house at a night
session when not ono member in
seventy-five in tho house of repre
sentatives has ever seen tho bill
or knows anything about it. I
wish hero to enter my most em-
of legislation. "11 n
that poocies
neopie
wno
own thesQ lands wero white men
nothing of the kind would be done
In my opinion."
Tho greed of civilization has be-
come so firmly habituated in tho
praolico of fleecing Indians that
to endanget tho safety of any piece
of property especially real estato
and oxpose it to tbo chanceB of
being taken under the "right of
discovery" It Beoms to bo only
necessary to show that it has no
owner but Indians.
But these Cherokees tiro not in
a popular senso Indians; that is to
say an unorganized hofdo lying
outsido tho pale of constitutional
guarantees; but a cultivated Bot
tled peoplo living in ancient
homes of their own building and
eurroundod with all the refine
ments and comforts that charac
terize communities in tho brightest
portions of tbo earth.
But all this makes no practical
difference; they aro branded with
tho namo of "Indian" and conse
quently fall within tho category of
booty for "progressive civiliza-
tion." This peaceful community
of prosperous farmers is now
invaded by the Curtis law
as ruthless and conscience-
Iobb as tho very plow-sharo
of ruin. It pulls down their fences
obliterates their landmarks and
turns thoir cultivated fields out to
the common; it uprootu their orch-
ards and bands over their gardens
and pleasure grounds a prey to
desertion and deaolation; tho
dwelling houses of these industri-
ous happy peoplo together with
thoir barns granaries corn cribs
domiciliary walls and structures of
overy kind it ordains to bo taken
up from tho earth transported
and located on somo distant spot
arbitrarily pointed out by tho
tyranny ot legislation; and in caso
of failure on part of Iho owners to
remove theeo ponderous fixtures

forfollure and confiscation; in a
word theso multitudinous happy
homes that hare nursod many
generations from childhood to
adult lifo tlieBo homeB that stand
to theso peoplo in the stead of
many years of toilsomo industry
and self deiiial this reckless law
destines virtually to obliteration
leaving to the owners littlo more
than a mere glimmering memory
of thoir old-time sweet and cluster
ing comforts.
Nowhero slnco Nebuchadnezzar

There is soma consolation how-
ever in tho reflection that con-
