Judging frojn tho tono of J. M.
Bryan's Inst communication from
Washington it will bo somo d.tys
beroro tho " Old Settlors " got
their money.
Sknatok Warhmouknk while in
tho city Inst Saturday expressed
himself as being well satisfied
with having registered his vole
against tho Strip steal in tho Sen-
nto atTahlcquah.
But few things aro moro oppros
sivo than unbound llmorios of gov-
ernment or abuses in their admin-
istration. Tho administration of
good government is of moro impor-
tance to a pcoplo than rich soil or
salubrious climnto.
"It is a great deal of encourage-
ment to a you.ig Chorokeo to spend
six r.r snven years study to grad
uate in one of our seminnrioh and
also in an eastern collego prepar-
ing hlmscll to tench and then iail
to get an appointment even t p
littlo thirty dollar school. If in
oven more encouraging when tho
fact Is recognized that a majority
of those who did receive appoint-
ments havo scarcely a common
school education But such is tho
tono and dignity of our Cherokee
school system." Thus writes one
of our correspondents.
Tub New York Times says: "A
private dispatch received in this
city announces that tho Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific railroad has
completed negotiations for options
on valuable terminal property in
Fort Worth and at Dallas Texas.
Tho property is Bald to be worth
one million. It is stated that tho
extension of tho road to Fort
Worth is to be for tho purpose of
making direct connection with tho
Missouri; Kansas & Texas system
Tho latter company is controlled
by tho Standard Oil people to whom I
it was said to have been unloaded
by Jay Gould at 8-10 per share.
After the purrhase it vwi3 discover-
ed that tho road was bauCrupt and
it was put in tho hands of a receiv-
er. Now it is said that Mr. Rock-
efeller is going to "get oven" with
tho Goulds. Tho extension of tho
Rock Island is a part of tho oven-
up program as outlined by tho
Standard Oil magnates.
THE VITAL QUESTION.
There is probably no qunstion !
mat moro inrctuy aueou wio wei-
luro oi too pcopic oi tins nation hi
the present time than tho mode of
raising the necessary rovonue for
governmental expensos. And
there is no one thing that is moro
radically wrong in tho whole politi-
cal system of the Cherokee nation.
The per capita interest in the in-
comes of tho Nation amounts to
about eight dollars each for every
man woman and child citizens of
this Nation. The whole of this
amount is used for defraying tho
expenses of tho government. Or
in oilier words we all pay tho
samo amount of taxes regardless
of our financial condition. A fam-
ily of ton pays an annual tax of
eighty dollars; whether thoy aro
worth ono dollar or a million their
taxed aro tho same. The widow
tho orphan tho poverty-stricken
ones who aro struggling to keep the
wolf from the door are required to
contribute the same amount toward
defraying the expenses of govern-
ment as tho most affluent people
in tho land.
Tho impression lias been given
out (from those in power too) that
this was not a real tux; that 'twas
only n fund Bet apart to run tho
government on. In answer to
such wo would say that tho fund
from which this money is derived
is just as much tho people's money
individually as it is collectively
and as all do not share tho biuio-
fits alike all should not bo forced
to pay tho sumo amount of tax.
But says onfc who suffers ? Wo
answer tho poor suffer und that
means a very laige majority ol tho
people. Every man every wo.
man every child who is not so
situated that they can got the full
benefits of land water timber
mining privileges money or any
thing that appertains to tho com-
mon property of tho Cherokou na-
tion are being wronged shame-
fully wronged by a system that
will sooner or later luvo to be dis
carded. This is a question that is
pressing itsell upon tho people of
tho Cherokco nation and it is folly
to run nwny from tho factsras they
uro Blaring us hi the fnco. A man
remarked the other day that "it
' would bo impossible to collect a
Ux off the full-blnoiVd became thoy
re too poor to pay It." Tiioy art
paying a Ux of eight dollars per
MHtttin mm! that without their
kmrnhtfyo or consent. A govern-
ment lHt ciuiiiot protect J(s poor
bould either be aJUrd or bol-lib!.
DR. BENNETT'S ItEBICrNATION.
V It is generally understood that
Dr. Leo. K. Bennett has tendered
his resignation as Indian agent
and will vacate tho ofllco May first.
His motives for this courso aro
not stated but tho writer U in-
clined to tho holier that it is to
somo extent a matter of pecuniary
Interest. Dr. Bonnott enjoyed
ample advantages for becoming a
physician and gavo especial study
to surgery and in both branches
of his tmolfth profession proved
himself by sevornl yei a' practice
to bo cmlnontly successful. Rec-
ognizing tho good whioh could itc-
cruo to this country by a conscien-
tious effort in tho newspaper field
the gentleman abandonod a lucra-
tive modical practico and ombarked
in Journalism. After tho Musko-
gfe firo ho purohasod tho good will
of tho Indian Journal and re-established
it at Eufaula hut subse-
quently sold it out and started tho
Muskogee Phoenix Both papors
under Dr. Bennett's direction ac-
complished much good for tho
Country but it is doubtful if thoy
proved profitable ventures (or thoir
ownor From tho editorial tripod
tho gentleman pated to the ostalo
of an Indian agent and it is more
than likely has expended two dol-
lars for every one tho office has
brought him. There is ample proof
that Ho has been nn exceptional
Indian agent; it is found in the
fact that no word of scandal no
charge of corruption has over
been uttered against his adminis-
tration of the ollice. To those who
are familiar with affiirs at an
Indian agency thisp-oof is conclu-
sive. But all tlioso days that Dr.
Bennett has been at a stand-still
so far as his own affairs aro con-
cernedit may almost be said has
been working for the public his
associates have been bettering
their financial condition. A United
States court has been created in
bis town and several lucrative po-
sitions havo been bestowed upon
those who havo a ipsa claim to
them mimberb'ss business outer-
pnse havo beui established which
tho gentleman's official position
rendered him ineligible as a part-
rer in and so it cannot be won-
dered at that Dr Bennett is aux-
Ions to lay down the duties of In-
dinn agont. Amuo from these con
sidorations there are doubtles
other:! and whioh had they not
existed tho gentleman would have
been disposed to serve out his
term. Tho intorior department
is anything but a pleasant and an
easily sutisfied master and its
ugents aro not infrequently placod
in most unpleasnnt and embarrass-
ing positions. What the doctor's
plans aro for the futu-o we do not
know but we ttro not promming

THE ONLY HOPE
The Cherokee government will
never he conducted economically
and judicioulsy (as those terms are
applied to private buines enter-
prises) until its funds for govern-
mental purposes are derived by
diruri luxation. As long as our
people subsisted by the primativo
pursuits ot their ancestors the
present syttoni werked vory well
for there whs little governmental
maohinory and no expense to
speak of. But conditions have
now taken an entire change there
has been a complete transposition.
We have a generous quota ol of-
fices hove a legihlativo a judicial
und nn executive department and
their maintenance costs nil they
aro worth IHias been repeatedly
estimated thai the cost of conduct-
ing tho government is between
eight und nine dollars percapituof
our people. 01 course reversing
our syslom thero would be a per
capita distribution equal to a like
sum annually. What proportion
of tho families of the nation con-
sisting of fivo persons would be
taxed (MO 00? Probably not ono
in a half dozen. Tho tax of run-
niiiK tho government would fall
where It justly bolong upon
-those who are profiting by thoir
ocuupeuoy of the ooujitry and are
able to pay it. What is tiie logio
of this new system and what
would be tho result? Tho men
who pay tho tux would at onre
tako. an interest in seeing that tho
funds-wore judiciously bundled.
They would insist thai the same
business rules which had brought
them a competence were so fur us
practicable applied to the conduct
of the nation's affairs und a con-
sequent reduction of taxation
would result. Thou wo would
havo a belter n cleaner govern-
ment and all olliciuls would be
hold io a strict accountability for
their public acts and for all money
passing through their hands. Un-
til n change does lake plato thero
is littlo todiopo for.
JOURNALISTIC METHODS.

ronage of people ttbo appreciate
tho merits of printer's ink and not

Democrat
That's the way to talk Print
a good paper and thon stand up
for it Give people to understand
in a dignified and genteel manner
thai you aro not a charity solicitor;
that you nto conducting a legiti-
mate enterprise; thai you aro part
of tho community aitd soo to It
that you make yourself a neces-
sary and Important part. Then
tho public will begin to regard you
as such and render the support
necessary to maintain this position.
By tho way your colleague of
the Advanco (and ho is a very es
timahlc gentleman) has been mak
ing an onnual mlstako for a great
many first of tho years. It is in
a freo writo-upof tho business men
of tho town. If tho write-ups are
of any valuo thoy uro probably
worth 820 for tho lot. What In-
terest aro they to tho subscriber
tho man who makes tho paper?
Vory little if any. This boing
tho case it is plainly tho duly
of the merchant to pay lor this
service if ho wants it. If tho ed-
itor feels that ho owes tho mer-
chant anything on the year's bus-
iness let him deduct it from tho
December 31st account. If a news-
paper cannot bo built up on bus-
inoss methods its fato is assuted
although it may hang on may
oxist in somo instances for an in-

Do not leave your name out of

VMrt otti-t jtiom jnsT arttih
Tho lato national council which
adjourned here last week after a
coiliiiiuoue1 m's-miiii ui auvuuij' iiuyb
appropriated all told as the records
and its acts show $103000.
Add to this the standing appro-
priation of 833000 to pay olliciuls
of the nation and you find the
whole foots up to S200000 and
over. This 8200000 appropriation
is lor ono year. Now our only
positivo income is tho fivo per
cent interest on our invested funds
whioh are 82700000. Thus you
see our incomo is only 8135.000 per
year. In all earnestness and in
the naino of common sense how
can we keep up our government at
these rates of expenditures?
Spending $Go000 a yoar more than
we get annually. The wort of it
i the nation is in debt SI 13000
caused by excessive expenditures
beyond our income in lato years
this added to the SOo.000 over
ourinctmo will leavo us $183000
in debt at the close of tho fucal
year the 30th day of September
1892. Our scrip is now selling for
50 and CO cents on tho dollar. This
is a serious matter to those of us
who wish to see our government
live those are storn hard griev-
ous facts but the situation has to
boj faced and tho sooner the
bctier. Thero N no uso for us to
count on getting anything from our
internal revenue sources as past
experience under laws now in force
teaches us conclusively that it
takes all such revenue so collected
to pay the expenses of those col-
lecting the same or elicit has been
the fact as wo all know.
Tho above from tho Tahlequah
Telephone touches upon one
of tho most important questions
that concern the people of this
nation. Tho abovo statistics
which wo prosume are oorroot lay
bare the whole syslom of govern-
ment without taxation and shows
how utterly impossible it will be
to continue without some radical
changes in our financial system.
Under the present system overy-
one contributes the same amount
townrd defraying the expensos of
government. The bare-footed or-
phan pays as much tax as tho

TO OUT THE PENSION KOLL.
Mn. Peel of Arkansas says an
oxchango has slipped in a littlo
four lino bill of mighty import.
War widows in the past havo
proven an exponsive luxury to tho
government. Long yoars ago tho
last of the revolutionary pension
ers paid tho debt of nature. But
thero are to. day on tho pensions
roll twenty revolutionary widows
drawint pensions. The oldest of
tlioso widows was not born unjil
twonly years or moro after the
revolution had beon "fit" but ns
a young woman she solaced tho
declining years of somo pensioner
and inherited the republic's grati-
tude. The survivors of the war
1812 as shown by tho pension
rolls number only 21 and they
aro dropping off very rapidly But
there are 7590 widows of i-oldiers
of tho war 1812 drawing pensions
and thoy aro not dropping off so
fast. Tlioro aro now on. tho rolls
125000 widows of soldiers who
served in the civil war The st
is growing very lapidly Somo
of those widows wore born slncr
1805. Tho war widows to-day
number one-fourth of all tho namos
carried on tho pension rolls.
Twcnty-fivo years henoc perhaps
BQinor than that one-half the pen-
sioners tyil) ho widows. Ami if
estimate may bo based on past ex
periences this government will In
1950. bo paying out millions of
dollars annually in pensions to
widows who wort not horn until
after the civil war ended Such is
human nature. Mr. Peel bold
man as ho Is proposes to legislate
for tho second generation after this
ono. IIo has aimed a blow at
what might bo called tho widow
industry. His brief bill provides
that "pensions shall not bo allow-
ed tho widows or children of sol-
diers in tho war of tho robollion
unless marrlago was so'emnlzcd
prior to tlio 1st of January 1892."
