Gov. Maiitin of KatiBna has
doBignntotl April Mth nsnrbordny.
A proclamation lias been Issued
by Gov. Marmadtiko convening
the legislnlurp in special bcssIoii
on May 11th for tho purpose of
enacting somo rnilwny lnw.
"TitH National party has turned
tail on its record in pledging itself
at this lato day "against all spe-
cies of corruption in tho details of
tho govornment of tho nation."
How nhout that $22500 transac-
tion? Jiie National party is crawfish
ing out of tho oil monopoly busi-
ness by pledging itself against
"all special legislation whereby
valuable and far-reaching privi-
leges may bo conferred upon indi-
viduals to tho exclusion of tho pco-
pjo at largo." Better lato than
never.
How dispiriting is a dark
gloomy day I How productivo it is
of sad reflection reaching back to
disappointments of years gono by
and forward to nothing better. Tho
streaks of sunshino hero and there
aro all shadowed over as across
them and tho lino that separates
the past from tho future tho clouds
"pass unbroken. Just such a day
no doubt caused tho exclamation
"All is vanity" and forced from
tho lips of the patriarch tho inqui-
ry "If a man dio shall ho live
again 7 and winch tno ages since
havo failed to answer. 'Tisn't
much help to"porspiring nobility."
CITIZEN RIGHTO.
It seems that our authortics will
never recognize in the management
of public matters that thcro are
two coutractinj: parties to all" of
our treaties and that any question
in relation to their construction is
a subject of further agreement be-
tween them. Concessions made by
either party need no explanation
to dellno their intent where no
conditions are imposed or where
authority is given to do certain
things in plain terms. Tho right
of tho national council to construe
nil acknowledged treaties is a
proper as well as a constitutional
right and there is no derogation
of authority if dono jointly with
the other contracting party. As
fur as the excrciso of any conceded
right is concerned further agree-
ment as to such exercise is unnec-
essary but whoro construction be-
comes necessary in order to deter-
mine the true intent of any provis-
ion or to limit tho meaning of a
provision mutual consent to such
action must be had. Such seems
to bo tho condition of things if wo
accept Commissioner Atkins' late
letter to tho secretary of tho inte-
rior in relation to the joint com-
mission on citizenship as authori-
ty. Rights ot native Chcrokees
can be no question for legislation
without determining tho rights of
tho Dclawarcs and Shawnccs and
of tho colored citizen becauso as
tho treaty provides their rights
aro the same and any attempt to
mako them less at once requires
the consent of tho United States to
such a definition beforo it can bo
considered to bo final. Tho joint
resolution to define tho rights of
tho Dclawarcs Shawnccs and col-
ored citizens can never gain rccog-
nition by tho government if we
take Commissioner Atkins' letter
as authority. Tho authority con-
sulted for so doing was our con-
stitution which it taken independ-
ently of the treaty is correct but
tliero is another party to tho trea-
ty that claims the rights likewise
to construe all acknowledged trea-
ties. Hcnco tho conflict und hence
tho necessity for agreement
between the contracting parties to
the treaties.

TO THE VOTERS.
I noli co in the Indian Chieftain
of March 17th the platform of tho
National party. Tho fourth sec-
tion brings to the notico of tho vo-
ters (and that very correctly too)
tho great success of our educational
policy which is cortainly tho
greatest advancement in cuumtlon
morality and roligion ever achiev-
ed by any nation that history gives
any account of in so short a timo.
It has now been about ono hun-
dred years sinco education com-
menced with tho Chcrokco Indians
but tho griii.tcr part of our ad-
vancement has been acquired in
tho last fifty years. Now wo have
hundreds of Cherokecs that would
make respectable legislators in any
of the states ; and a great many
uncrouccs mat wouiu maKo com
petent members of congress.
wiin tneso lacts ooioro us wo
ask why it is thot tho National
party has selected u man who is
uneducated and in no wiso can ho
(himself) wield tho affairs of tho
Chcrokco people ? Mr. Bunch is
a very good man in his proper
place but after one hundred years
experience in our educational mat-
ters with tic great advancement
attained then if tho majority of
the voters elect Mr. Bunch their
principal thief what then will our
schools amount to? It only
proves that education is a farce
and that the Chcrokees do not
w;sh an educated talented man for
their governor.
The seventh section of the Na-
tional platform has rofaronce to
equal rights of citizens adopted by
treaty and proposos to invite a ref
erence to somo judicial tribunal
to decide tho points at issue
This seems to bo soft soaping or it
might be intended for strawberries
and cream as when tho tribunal
was organized to investigate th
honest difference all tho tribunal
would have to do would bo to read
the law now upon our statute
books which says "Tho funds shall
be paid to Chcrokees by blood."
f . Me-too.
THE INDEPENDENT PARTY.
L.DITOU Ciiilftain : One B. II.
Stone informs tho public through
the Ciiikftai.v of tho 24th that the
executive committee of tho Inde-
pendent party mot March loth
1S87 and decidvd it was not prac
ticable to nominate for first and
second chiefs and this doubtless
for the sufficient reason that the
Independent party was a myth
and was confined almost exclusive-
ly to tho facetious individual who
would have the public believo that
there is an executive committee
and ho its head. Mr. Stone is we
suppose tho "picture man" or
moro politely speaking the
"artist" who recently had his tent
pitched at Tahlequah and is a com
paratively fresh adventurer into
the Indian Territory being in
western parlance a "I'uko" or na-
tivo Missourian. Since his arrival
hero ho has acquired a "Missouri
fortune" and hence conceives him
self to bo admirably qualified to
"cuss and discuss"authoritatively
men and measures in tho Chcrokco
nation. Doubtless ho has a right
to his own views and to their ex-
pression but ho is not entitled to
immunity in go doing when he
presumes to speak of rings old
political hacks figureheads and
elevating to office in tho Chcrokco
nation an Indian who does not
speak nor understand English or
tho ways of white peoplo and
array in combination against thorn
adopted citizens of all classes and
races. This ho has dono and in so
doing has transcended the limits of
decency and honorable conduct.
Wo accord and shall continue to
accord to every citizen his full
sharo of right under our govorn-
ment of uncqualed freedom and
privileges but at tho samo timo
wo thank God that tho Cherokee
nation has lived and prospered and
will continue to uvo and prosper
wo bolicve under her chosen chief-
tains whether thoy spoak English
or not and whether they under
stand tho ways of white people
of the Stono kind.
Tho "president of tho executive
committco" should know if ho
docs nut that this country has
been preserved by tho valor and
patriotism of tho men whom ho
affects to despise and that it is to
their unbounded generosity that ho
enjoys tho valuable rights and itn-
munitics of law govornment and
land that ho has without having
contributed a dollar to their ex-
chequer or an iota to their moralB
pr knowledge ond refinement His
appeal to adopted cltlzena to com-
hmo ugain;t th native Indians
might well bo JnirUd betMnln-j
facd with n shout of dcflanco nnd
tho rallying cry of f elf defense and
self preservation but they know
full well that ho is not the expon-
ent of tho sentiments of any re-
ppcctablo class of peoplo compos-
ing tho population of the Chcrokco
nation. Thoy know that adopted
whiles Indians and frccdmen will
not ignore tho historic fact that all
tho rights mil privileges thoy en
joy under their constitution and
treaties emanated directly and ex-
clusively fiom them and that the
plank in tho platform of tho Na-
tional party which pledges equal
rights to them with nativo Chcro-
kees is full and comprehensive
and not qualified by any reserva-
tion of cautimi'ly worded rcfcrcnco
to tho existing law which draws
tho lino of distinction between
them as will ho found on referonco
to plank fivo of Hie platform of the
Downing party. National.
WHY HE CHANGES.
Clauhmorc I T March 15th 1M7.
En. Chieftain: If you will bo
so kind as to permit mo I will at-
tempt to give tho peoplo of Coo-
wccscoowco district and Chcrokco
Nation generally somo of the
reasons why after voting tho Na-
tional or Independent ticket for
about tho period of twclvo years
I am now going to voto for Jool B.
Mayes on tho Downing ticket it
is thd downing ticket in the coining
election sure. In the first place
I think that a wisomnn will change
his opinion but n foolish one never
will. Mr. Mayes stands as ono of
tho very highest of our judicious
men of the Chcrokco Nation. Ho
is an educated man in tho English
language and is well fitted for the
chieftaincy. Wo have got no other
man who will fill the office of prin-
cipal chief as well as Joel B.
Mayes. Liko a great many of us
ho was getting well along in years
before ho reformed and confessed
the Saviour and started in life
right. Since his change in life I
have never heard a single instance
of misconduct of Mr. Mayes.
Now I will cic my reasons for
not voting for Mr. Bunch. In the
first place Mr. Bunch is not edu-
cated in the English language
which is very necessary in our day
and timo. Ho may he a very good
man butif wo olecta man not of
proper education wo know that
soino of theso land sharks will
necessarily run the offico and they
themselves not being responsible
will work to their own interests
and not to tho interests of the peo-
pic. This has not Infrequently
been done before under my politi-
cal observation. They "obfuscate"
such (i man and then they have
got him just where they want him
I havo got othor objections to oth-
er political loading mon that I will
tell of at tho proper time and in
the proper place. I do not want
to touch porsonal character if it
can possibly be helped.

IS IT PISH AND FLESH?
Taiilhii'aii I. T MarebSlat lfW
Mn. Editor: I am not going
out to "hunt skunks in tho dark"
nor am I so daring asGoliath of
Gath but will expect some ono will
tatack me. However I am perfectly
willing for him to "down mo with
a bean-shooter" if ho will uso the
bullet I am molding for him truth
tho security of man's reputation
and good name from all tho arts
of detraction and slander are
rights to which all men aro entitled
by all tho laws of justice for with-
out them it is impossible to enjoy
any other advantage or right. But
does this fact justify silenco on tho
part of a private citizen where ho
sees his own rights jeopardized ?
All personal rights of man con-
sidering him as a free agent en-
dowed with tho faculty to discern
good from evil and with pover to
choose thoso things which appear
to him to be most desirable are
generally summed up in one ap-
pellation and is called tho natural
liberty of mankind. This faculty
of free-will consists properly in the
powor to act as ono thinks fit with-
out any restraint or control unless
by tho laws of nature. But every
man when ho enters public life
gives up a part of this natural lib-
erty and in consideration of re-
ceiving tho trust of his fellow-citizens
by being placed in somo im
portant position obliges himself to
conform to those luws which they
have thought proper to establish
This species of legal conformity
and obedience ought to bo indeli-
bly impressed upon tho mind of
every man who holds a position of
trust in our country.
Thero are somo of our public
officers terribly abused because
this obligation does not appear to
hold its proper place In tho duties
to our nation and its people. Had
not this been clearly demonstrated
by several of tho national guards
appearing on tho streets of Tahle-
quah last Friday so drunk thoy
could hardly navigate I should
havo tnado an attempt to prove
this assertion. But when wo seo
such acts of abuso to public posi
tions do we need to provo them ?
What doos our high sheriff mean
in his notice when ho says "reel-
Inland ataggcrtng. of other 'runk
VU .mumV'IK UJ'VM VUU PlUV'ntll u
make a person liable to arrest and
prosecution under act of tho Na-
tional council approved November
26th 1883?" Can it bo that ho
is using this as a sort of scare-crow
to tho citizens who tako a drink
now and then so that ho and his
may havo moro of tho "whito
mulo" for their own uso ? Suroly
that is not so. Seeing no notico
taken of theso violations of our
laws what can bo expected of tho
rising generation of young men ?
Our law makers certainly do not
oxncctthnt ii.i wo young lads
read section 28 pago 180 compiled
laws that wo arc to tu;n away and
say theso aro words 'umbled to-
gether under a section but thoy
havo no moaning. It n..ty bo
that younger minus cannot com-
prehend tho meaning of such laws.
If this is tho case then wo are
promptod by ignoranco 10 regard
a drunken officer on tho streets as
a violation of this law and to re-
gard malfeasance of this naturo as
rendering an officer incompetent
for his office to say nothing of
wielding authority over his' sub-
jects. As long as such acts are
tolerated by tho "powers that bo"
wo can but feel a crowinc lawless
ness In our nation a denarturo of
all reverence and a shameless dis-
regard for tho laws and authorities
of our country. So long as our
officers will drink and carouse with
thoso who aro disposed to deal
with this "accursed stuff;" so long
as mon abuse public trust Ir this
manner wo can expect to witness
resistance to all authority and tho
trampling under foot of any re-
quirement made by them who do
not "practice what they preach."
If tins doos not find its way to
tho waste-baoket you may hear
from us again. Bona-kiue.
