Tub Chieftain extends con
dolenco to nil who woro credulous
enough to pay John Jordan twenty-
five dollars to sccuro to thorn
places on tho Strip to bo rosorvod
for tho Immortal sovonty in caso
of a.ratiflcation of tho Strip agreo-
tnbntT Jordan wont to Washing-
ton with n flourish of trumpots; ho
was tho "hero of tho hour;" ho
carried a majority of tho seventy
in his vost pockot; ho had bocomo
their guardian and nothing was
lacking but tho ratification of tho
troaty and ho was in tho capltol
to see that it was dono. Tho del-
egation too was whooping it up.
Thoy probably wero to sharo Jor-
dan's fortunos on tho Strip. Coun-
cil hod lined their pockets with
plonty ol tho wherewithal to havo
a good Umobut fortuno was against
tho boys from tho beginning. Poo)
had to go homo and. fight for a re-
nomination and lost; Mansur was
knocked out; Jordan's plan becamo
known from "Dan to Hershoba;"
Senator Piatt's committco toro tho
Strip agreement that was to bo
ratified in its "entirety" into
shreds; Jordan stock went to tho
bottom; they all camo homo crest-
fallen and it has bocn intimated
that they aro actually mad. What
will ultimately bo dono with the
agrcemont no ono eoems to know
hut it is generally believed that
council will reject it if it is changed.
Tho proposed change whereby tho
intruders aro to bo paid for their
improvements is particularly dis-
tasteful to tho masses of tho peo-
ple Tho employment of Phillips
by tho delegation !b receiving se-
vens criticism from all quarters
but more especially from tho
Downing party who mado tho
Phillips matter tho koy-noto of tho
two laBt campaigns for chief.
Scores of National men from oil
parts of tho country went over and
voted with tho Downing party for
no other reason than tho belief
that Phillips had had an undue in-
fluence with some of tho leaders
of that party. It was openly
charged that tho Nationals had a
contract on file in Washington
whereby Phillips was to rcceivo
eoven and a half per cent of the
proceeds of tho Outlet when ever
it was sold. .
THB LOCJIO OP BVETNS.
It is d noticcablo fact that as
iarminglhterests incrcaso and as
tho attention of tho people is de
flected from tho whnlnqnln nni! nx.
elusive grazirTg of stock and as tho
enormous profits that a fow years
ago wero realized by almost every
ono that handled cattle have
dwindled down and in most cases
really turned tho tido and become
a. sourco of loss instead that the
question of land in severalty has
grown more and more prominent.
This fact is not only noticeable
but it is indicative of tho inovit-
nblo change that is quietly but
Burcly taking placo in this country.
As stock raising ceases to bo prof-
itable farming will necessarily
tako its placo and when land is
fenced and broken as it must bo
for farming purposes it ceases to
no oi any lurtnor valuo forgrazing.
TIiub fho chango from grazing to
fanning is permanent and tho tido
can never turn backward. The
owner of ten thousand head of
cattlo who is using a great deal of
tho common grass may ship them
all out of tho country and nover
replace thorn. But when land is
onco put in cultivation it is per.
inanent and never can bo used for
grazing purposes again but from
year to year is mado to produce
something to add something to
tho wealth of tho country. In the
discussion of tho land question
which seems to bo absorbing the
attention of tho wholo Cherokee
pooplo at tho present time tho
t fact Bhould not bo lost sight of
that as tho farms increase thero is
n corresponding increaso in tho
sentiment in favor of pormanent
homes and a desiro for individual
ownorship of thoso homes. When
a citizen goes out and makes an
improvcmentbuilds a houso.fenccs
a farmand plants an orchard do-
Biro at onco soizes him.to own it and
bo assured that anothor will not
diBpoasoss him of it to know that
U would ultimately go to his do-
scondants and that thoy would not
bodeprivodoftho benefits of his
labor is as natural as can ho.
Theroforo as agriculture bocomes
the chiof occupation of our pooplo
the sentiment in favor of allotment
of lands must necessarily incrcaso.
If thero is such a thing as preju-
Hc among Uio moro intelligent
o Cherokoos tho "logio of ovenls"
hould ycry soon dispel it. Tho
uequl Mid unjust division of tho
land under tho present system is
traeomiBg moro and "more apparent
evf tay. Tho unequal and un-
n juMiyatMN of taxation that taxes
rich and poor the samo amount is
bocoming moro burdensome every
day. Tho Toasons for holding
lands and money in common no
longor exist. Tho intelligence
and progress of tho pooplo is an
incontrovortlblo argument against
tho position that wo must remain
forovor a tribe of Indians soparato
and distinct and yot right In tho
heart of tho genoral govornment.
Noithoris it dcslrnblo to remain
so. Tho conditions that mado it
dcsirablo no longor exist. As a
community our intorosts aro par-
allel with thoso of tho states sur-
rounding us. Wo roap aB many
benefits (or should) from tho gov-
ernment of tho United Statos as
nny othor stato or torrilory in tho
union. No pooplo on earth aro
qulckor to avail themselves of all
tho modorn appliances and inven-
tions of tho day than arc tho Ohor-
okces. Tho best and latest ma-
chinery of all kinds find ready
purchasers among theso pooplo.
Politically thoy aro as deoply in-
torostod and as much divided upon
tho issues that divido tho political
parties of tho states as though
thoy lived in tho states. Tho con-
ditions that surround and effect
tho Chcrokco-nation aro such as
will boIvo all questions relativo to
tho matter and cannot bo hindorod
much noithor can our changes bo
accoloratod to any groat extent by
urging tho mattor at home or
abroad.
PROBPEOTIVB FRUIT CROP.
Tho lato frosts last spring tho
wot woathor throughout tho blos-
soming porlod tho enormous crops
last year and the increasing rav-
ages of insects and blights have
all conspired to rcduco tho goneral
fruit crop throughout tho groat
fruit belt of northern Arkansas
Missouri Kansas and this coun
try. Tho roports from tho great
commercial orchards of Arkansas
and Mirsouri indicato that the
prospects for an abundant applo
crop has not bcon so poor in sev
oral years. Only irom California
do wo get roports of an abundant
fruit crop. Prices on fruit this
year will necessarily run high and
tho orchardist who has availed
himself of tho modorn appliances
for tho provention of tho ravages
of insects by tho timely spraying
of his trees m tho spring with in
secticido will doubtless find very
remunerative prices this fall for
his apples. Tho- plum crop in
this section is a failure. This fruit
raroly fails of a crop but scarcely
a specimen can bo found this sea-
son that has not fallen a victim to
curculio. The grape croj that
was so promising a month ago has
almost entirely succumbed to the
ravages of tho black rot. As to
peaches this is ono of tho "ofP'
years that come altogether too of-
ten to make ' peach growing as
profitable as it otherwise would
bo. Howovor theso "off" years
aro generally followed by a largoly
increased yield tho following sea-
son. Nature seems to have pro-
vidtd this means of enforced rest.
Peach trees aro necessarily short
lived in this latitude at best and
if they boro annual crops their
period of useiulness would bo still
further shortened.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM NO
HUMBUG.
WOHCKSTIR ACIDIXT. I
Vixita I. T. Antuitt law. J
Editor Chieftain Deau Sin:
In deciding which of two political
issues is the moro important it
sometimes happens that no refer-
unco should be had to the moral
quality which inheres in tho issues
themselves; the instinct of self-
preservation will assort itself in
xpite of all moral considerations;
in asserting tho high importance
of the civil sorvice reform its
friends do not arrogato to it any
high moral quality over other nec-
essary reforms; if tho dangers
which that reform would forestall
are not imminent if they do not
threaten our institutions with great
danger if those evils do not threat-
en to take away the very things
which ma!:o all other reforms
worth working for.the civil service
reformers should hold their peace
ind bide their time. Tho fact that
civil scrvico reformers are men
who aro characterized by the high-
est qualities of citizenship intelli-
genco disinterestedness devotion
to the public welfaro and that they
aro not willing to hold peaco nor
hide time has some significance.
Tho civil service reform has for
its purpoco to prevent tho employ-
meni oi me servants oi ma govern-
ment by tho party in power at any
invon tuno to nornctuato tho rule
of that party: to prevent men bo-
ing appointed for that nurnoso: to
sccuro for all citizens regardless of
party an equal chance to work for
the government securo from mo-
lobtalion as lone as thev faithfully
discharge their duty; tho mischief
oi a partisan civil scrvico is duo to
tho operation of two or throo prin-
eiplo8 promulgated by Andrew
Jackson but it is as unjust to attn-
bute to Jackson tho conscious pur-
pose of bringing about tho Bpoils
system of 1892 as it would bo to
charge tho saintly Jonathan Ed.
wards with tho purpose of having
Aaron Burr for his grandson; con-
ditions havo so changed that tho
implication of a principle- in Jack-
Hon'a timo necessary and salutary
now threatens to swoop away our
constitution and civo us a govern-
ment ol for and by bureaucrats
Instead of tho people.
Tho civil sorvico in Jackson's
timo composodbutan Insignificant
fraction of the vdtcra of tho couu- i
try; It constituted no vast political
machlno; tho dangor procoodlng
from it was ol nulto another kind;
hilt it must bo claimod for Jack
son that ho ioreaaw tho vast on.
largoment tho civil sorvico was to
undergo and that this considera-
tion was an added roason for his
action; tho particular offonso of
tho cmployos in tho civil
sorvico' thon was of a dlfforont
kind from that which civil Bcrvico
roformors discuss at tho present
timo: tholr oflenso was tho out
growth of conditions peculiar lo
that timo which I will endeavor
briefly to doscrlbo; tho officers in
thoContlncntal army In tho Revo-
lution woro deeply affocted by tho
oxamplo ol tho ouicors oi tuo army
opposed to thorn; genorally speak-
ing tho Amorican officers woro men
of amplo means of tho highest
social standing and usually ablo
to gratify tholr taston. Tho British
officers had all tho personal attri-
butes of tho nobility; a tasto for
what is sumptuous in surround-
ings and splondid in porson; un-
fortunately for tho Amoricans who
emulated thorn though thoy woro
of noblo lineago thoy wero not of-
ten in tho lino of family inhori-
tonco.. So whilo thoy wero scrup-
ulous in maintaining tholr Bocial
status thoy woro unscrupulous in
tho means omployod for that pur-
pose. Benodlct Arnold foil a vic-
tim to this splendor and his trea-
son waB a moro attompt. to securo
a fortuno to sustain him in tho
social position ho had won. A
retinuo of valots and flunkoys
minislerod to tho tastoa and grat-
ified tho vanity of this class; their
Buporcllious and arrogant demean-
or toward helpless dependents in
tho household and in tho 'army
was their engino of discipline; it
met tho requirements of tho caso
for tho timo being ami gratified
tho high self-ostocm of tho fortun-
ate class; tho besetting sin of tho
unfortunate is envy of tho fortun-
ato arrogance; tho former sin less
than the-latter; it takea a quality
of manhood of which too many
aro lacking to keep cloar of these
besetting sins. After tho Rovolu-
tion thoro was formed tho Society
of tho Cincinnati to bo forover
composed of officers of tho Conti-
nental armvand their descendants.
Washington taking tho office of
president ot tho united stales uau
for six years been president-general
of tho Society of tho Cincin-
nati; ho held tho latter uffico until
his death. Adams federalist sue-
cceded Washington in tho presi
dency of tho United statos; in tho
twolvo years of theso twoadmlnis-
trations tho civil service was or-
ganized and manned very largely
from the Society of tho Cincinnati
their dependents and friends; tho
rich members of tho society want-
ed tho honors of office; the not
rich the profits; theso office hold-
ers wero identified with tho Bocial
circlo in tho east Boston New
York Philadelphia which held
undisputed ascendency until after
tho civil war; a prevailing charac
teristic of this class is curtness of
speech toward thoso whom H con-
siders its inferiors; they aro oi tho
class which now frowns tho man
in overalls out of its presence.
Strango that Now England with its
democratic church and stato should
havo becomo affected with this
undemocratic spirit; New England
has been politically and socially
undemocratic and moro persist
ently so than any other section of
ourcountry. iNew England colleges
are full of young men who com-
bine great stupidity with this
great arrogance and they aro the
quiet amusement or tho bano of
tho professor according to tho lat-
ter's sense of humor and knowl-
edge oi human nature. When
Jackson came to office the civil
servants of tho United States had
long since assumed me airs oi a
bureaucracy; in addition to their
personal arrogance they had ac
quired official arrogance and the
arroganco of class; their record was
heavy with offenses against the
intttincts of democracy which was
now becoming proud and assert-
ivo under Jackson's leadership.
If the high man will frown the
low man will smite; as the bene-
ficiaries of tho established church
arc frantic for the defeat of Glad-
stone so Jackson was hated as
only the men aro hated who strike
at unjust prerogatives: Jackson
was certainly heaven-oruaincd for
his work as Washington and Lin-
coin for theirs; undoubtedly though
his destruction of the United
States bank was a blow at sound
finance tind what his civil service
policy has resulted in forms u vast
and mournful record of wrong al-
ready; 130 federal oflico holders in
a national convention and 150000
all subsidized by tho party with
an tuo resources ot tho gov-
ernment thoy can covertly employ
added to all that a depraved pub
lic sentiment allows and expect
them to employ is a great indict-
ment against Andrew Jackson's
system.
But if Jackson had foreseen all
tho ovil '-consequences of his ac-
tion he could havo done no differ-
ontly; ho had it in his power to
annihilate an incipient aristocracy
of oflico holders and ho darod do
it; tho evil that Jackson unwit-
tingly did lives after him; tho
memory of tho good appears to
havo been interred with tils bones.
Since Andrew Juckson thero has
been ono class only of American
citizens; congressmen and cabinet
officers now run the willing errand
if they do not bend the pliant
hinges of tho kneo at tho bohent
of tho voter; if you go to Washing-
ton now and your congressman
takes you to his hotel and intro-
duces you to his wife and then
takes you to tho departments and
introduces you to tho officials from
the cabinet minister down all of
whom aro willing to labor for you
you may thank theso worthy gen-
tlemen; it is pollto to do so and
besides tho gentlemen are usually
silicon) in their desire to satisfy
your wants ; but if you forget to
thank Androw Jackson you forgot
to thank him to whom tho visitor in
Washington whether on pleasure
or business bound owos his chiefest
blessings.
But .Jackson unwittingly did
evil) relentlessly especially Blnco
tho second administration of Q rant
havo all not of tho correct political
faith boon proscribed irom all of
fices within roacu ot tno adminis-
tration : this moanB all but 20.000
of tho 150000 and theso aro but
imponectiy protected; remorsoiess-
ly lias ovory powor with which tho
pooplo clothed thoso administra-
tions boon usod to provont tho
ascendency of that party from be-
ing brokon. No ono doubts now
that Clovoland rosolutoly endeav-
ored to counteract thoso ovils : it
ought to bo an instructive warning
to our voters that Clovoland was
ablo to accomplish so littlo ; who
of tho mon wo havo had in publio
life for a quarter of a
contury could havo succeeded
whoro ho failed ? This considera-
tion suggests volumes concerning
tho strength well nich irroBistiblo
of an attack of a quartor of a mil-
lion morcenaries ovory four yoars
upon ono man. Suroly tho ono
man ought to fool if ho tries to
hold oflico sookors in check that
ho has tho moral support of ovory
lovor of his country ; ho usually
finds instead of tno sustaining
voico of an admiring pooplo in
dlfforenco. All tho organs for giv-
ing expression to tho popular
voico are indifferent or except a
select and splondid fow in tho
control of tho morcenarios.
But tho present condition of tho
spoils systora is not tho most
dangerous poseiblo ; if it never
could oxecod its present dimen-
sions it would bo tolorablo ; what
tho restraint has been which has
kept our military and naval cstob-
lisiiments from being tho snrvllo
tools of tho dominant party's will
It would troublo a shrewd observ-
er to tell ; it has certainly not
bcon lost to tho dominant party by
moral scruples ; what can wo find
in tho administration of our civil
servloo slnrr "s.'3 to warrant tho
hope thot our mil try and naval
establishes! t ir long canape bo-
ing yokco to the party chariot?
What sorujuo has powor over
shown touching tho moans of its
own aggrandizement ? Both army
and navy aro under tho control of
tho President moro completely
than our civil sorvico ; and tho
conuptions ot civil politics aro
mild and Innocuous compared
with those of military politics ;
soldiers aro not in a position to
cast a freo ballot except undor fur-
lough which tho powers aro seldom
ablo to grant and again tho atmos-
phoro of an army docs net iavor
freo discussion so then wo find
ourselves liablo to the unwelcome
surprises somo olection morning
of finding that tho army and
navy havo been so disposed
and directed as to socuro tho
ends of tho President's party and
that by proper manipulation tho
personnel of the army and navy has
been changed so that it will gladly
as our civil service lends itself to
tho furtherance of tho party's in-
terests. When tho party in powor at any
given timo can uso all theso
branches of tho government to per-
petuato its own rula it will be well
nigh invinciblo but. what may wo
expect when a tolegraph system
becomes an auxiliary of our Gen-
oral Post Office? Tho million em-
ployes of tho Western Union sys-
tem will bo at work for tho govern-
ment ; thoro will bo no women or
other non-voters then to receive or
carry messages ; messenger boys
will bo chosen not because
they can run but because
thoy can vote ; a government hav-
ing at its dispoB.il a vast number
of positions which requiro no spec-
ial aptitude or skill which can be
filled by anyone who can vote will
find moro surprising venality
among our people than has
yet been brought to light;
wo have yet another pos-
sibilty to contemplato : stranger
things havo happened. Supposo
that within twenty-five years tho
government should control and
operato the railroads; thus wo
should havo nearly half tho voters
of tho United States in tho em-
ployment of a political party paid
nut of the pockets of tho people
able to hindet tho free exerciso of
the people's will; they could nulli-
fy the constitution and mako our
republic like those of South Ameri-
ca republics in form but not in
tact.
If then civil scrvico reform
is a humbug it is time
some one was in earnest
about it endeavoring to make it a
reality : evidently wo havo
reached one of thoso great crisis
in which It is incumbent upon
men and parties to forego their own
advantage ; the man or party
which rises to the height of this
great argument and purchases
fafcty for our government at the
cost honors or emoluments for
themselves will earn abidipg
honors; thoro is no question that
n democratic partisan civil service
is as dangorousas any; if the demo-
crats should prove successful in
the coming contest and thon
should tempt their president into
a "wild debauch of spoils" thoy
would commit a political crime of
tho first magnitude and would in-
veigh against tho "conscienceless
greed" of their opponents
with very little effect. Tho
fact that the would-be presi-
dents who tried to tempt their par-
ty into a wild scramble for spoils
wero defeated at Chicago should
not make democrats over confi-
dent of preserving tho honor ol
their party. Every democrat who
thinks he ought to have an oflico in
tho event ot Cleveland's election
should wait until tho president can
first establish tho integrity of the
service making tho oll'tcc holder
an Amoriccn citizen and not a
moro creature with a mortgaged
vote. If tho democratic party is as
good as its candidate it will in tho
event of its success in tho coining
campaign freo our institutions from
a great danger and render our
country such a sorvico as seldom
fulls to the lot of any party to
render.
