Indian Chieftain. 3 LCD Pax- Yoatr In JVdv&noa. Published Tliursilaya by TtiR Indian Cihkitain Il'hmhiiinu Company, M. K. MILFUKU, Manajwr.' Vinita, Ino. Ter., Pkc. 25, lS'K). Caniudates for tho nine col leetoiships provided hy the new law are plentiful. The Cihki tain dent res to fx tend a Merry Cln lstina to its r etui era nml nil tho world in general. It lias niueh to bo thankful fur and if in the pact year it has not grown ri oh and all-powerful, it has form ed many hiendnhips which are to he prized more highly than wealth or power. A si'Koial dispatch received by Tmc Chieftain from Tahlequah Wednesday states that L. L. Crutch Held was confirmed bythe senate as revenue collector for Coo wcescoowee district by a good ma jority. As stated in our Tahlcquah correspondence ho was nominated as collector for tho nation. Tiik Oklahoma legislators, which for corruption have, rivalled the council which made the iirst cow lease, of the strip, have been de nouncing the press of that territory for "skinning" them. Very justly the people of that country are pe titioning congress to annul all the acts of their first legislature. A kkc'ent Washington dispatch gives among other Indian claim awards by the secretary of the in terior, one of $0072 against the Chcrokees, in favor of A. C. Lar kin, of Labette Co., Kan. This presumably, will follow the course of the Choctaw 815,000 and be taken out of the annuities. In 171 Larkin lived upon Col. llou dinot's place, near Chetopa, and the sheriff seized a bunch of cattle held by him (Larkin) and out of this grew the claim, w hich was brought for 511,500. Is it not possible that some more recent transactions in cattle will termi nate similarly ? AT THE CAPITAL. fcomo work by Uounouv-aitin lor ino UommiBfera to Act. Taiii.eiicmi, Dec. 22. Tuesday, Dec. 1G. The senate ptiblic domain commute, having in charge tho niriiioptdy b:ll;-lts at length been ordered to report. 11. It. Ross submitted a propo sition to obligate hinself to take cliargo of and assume all expense of the national prison for 61,000 per annum; contract to be lor lour years. A groat wrangle ensued over the bill to pay census takers for extra services. It was found that sonic had time doubled up; others had I put in Sundays and so the senate j trimmed them down considerably. Much incompetency is charged to the census takers ami not without cause. The committees who have ve vised these rolU have consumed a large portion ol their titno this council and some have not report ed. The greatest difficulty results from spelling and bad writing; for instance, " Daugherty" is spelled "iMv." Senator Young, of Jlli- j nois, has ftiind sixty nanus o;: the rolls of his di.-ti ict of which he has no knowledge, neither can he ob tain any ami the fault may lie wholly with the penmanship and i . ' 1 1 oithography. Wednesday, 17lh. Notice was received to-day through tho chief of another suit by the Shawnccs, similar to the Delaware suit, be fore the court of claims. These law suits, including that of the Freedmen, will not only cost a great deal of money but serve to wit .mi the breach between the dif ferent classes of citizens of this country. Mr. Henderson presented a bill to authorize the treasurer to col- l-.ut by suit or compromise the i money duo from the Strip associ ation last July. After argument and amendment it was finally tabled. The No. 1 bill, as it is called, t) pay members for the regular se.-sioii, passed both houses and the council put on a f 2,000 contin gent fund for executive office alter the nate had refused. That body again refused but a conference committee agreed to $1,2-V) and their action was ratified though its expenditure was guarded by very strong language. The item-h-d statement furnished by the thit-f of tho $2,00-) appropriated last year shows that be paid Tea body $"X) and Capt. Jackson $250 on their claims that the council bad rejected. This caused the "kick." Now that this bill lias passed all can draw a warrant but when they will be cashed by the treasurer is a question. Tarn lyriH, Pec. 2-., lro. This has been an eventful day. The report of the public domain committee was received but a fight nr se upon it and it went over w ithout action . A in' ?? age from the chief inform eJ council that anv 1e-w"nti"n nt notl nftr the call session not requested by him will bo ignored. A joint resolution passed the senate to investigate tho stewards of tho various publio institutions. Upon recommendation of the chief the house included ex-stewards. It is now on the senate tablo. Tho biggest sensation of the council was that created to-day by tho chief sending down tho name of L. L. Clutch field, of Vinita, to bo "revenue collector for the Cher okee nation." The construction of the new law has been that there is to be one collector for each dis trict. The first paragraph of it roade: "That there be and is here by created tho office of revenuo collector for the several districts ot this nation." Nearly all through the law tho term collector is used in the singular number. The sen ate and all the spectators were dumbfounded and have not caught their breath yet. An adjournment took place and it is reported that one prominent senator stated his intention to move to lay the nom ination upon tho table until nine collectors aro sent down. A report from the land commis mission is expected to-morrow, as it is known they have agreed upon severalqueslions. Farmers' Alliance, AMI INDUSTRIAL UNION.

The expectation was that they would buy out Thoma-oa & liallard. Vinita union, at its last mooting, elected as president Manna Dan iels and lis K.'ere):! r v .1 V Hon. i, T, cock. 1 he same evening a com mittee was appointed to arrange for conveiting tho Alliance ball into a public reading room, which The Ciiieftaix will endeavor to supply with literature. A county organization of Cana dian district was effected on the 20th inst, with J. T. Brown as president, post-office Muskogee, and J. Iiohannan as secretary, post-office Webber's Falls. Four subs were represented and the delegates were enthusiastic ever the interest awakened all over the district. We are indebted to I'.ro. U. M. Ilensley. post-office Musko gee, for above information. litre is a page which after being prepared lor tho purpose was hardly thought suitable to be in corporated into a set of by-laws but it is perhaps not out of place in this department: It is expected that courtesy will prevail at all times in the lodge room between members aid of ficers in their association with one another. By example it should be the duty of officers to elevate the tendencies of members in this di rection and in their relations with one another the members can hardly be too guarded, remember ing the closing phrase of our watchword: "In all thing", Charity." We are pleased with the inter est taken by Alliance people whom we have met, in our newspaper. Every one seems to feel a personal interest and were it not for the scarcity in the "dollars of our dads" every one would subscribe. In seme instances three or four will "chip in" and ns is usually the case after "chipping in" they will pass it around. This in a good idea and we have a warm ftelipgfor the brother who will keep his end up ns long as his money last. Tmc Ciukktain will "get there;" please keep it in mind and when the grangers' "roses bloom again" tho dollars will follow. The National Council at Ocala affirms tho demands of tho fSt. Louis meeting of 1889 and demands the abolition of National banks, also establishment of sub-trcas. uiies or depositories in tho differ ent states which shall loan money at a rate not exceeding two per cent, per annum on farm prod ucts; also upon real estate. It demands the circulating medium to bo in creased to not , less than .$" J per capita; congress shall pass laws to prevent dealing in futures; con demns the silver bill passed last congress and demands the free and unlimited coinage of silver; de mands passage of laws prohibiting foreign ownership of land and to effect some plan to obtain lands held by such owners and reclaim lands held by railroads and re set ve same for actual settlement; demands removal of existing heavy taxes on necessaries of life and for control of transportation, nil of which every true Alliance man can endorse,' and when effected feel like he is again an inhabitant of a free country and that "there is surely a God in Israel." THE KICKER. Considerable complaint has been heard from brethren who are zeal ous in the work in regard to the animal named above. He. is cer tainly an annoyance and a calam ity but nearly every sub has ono or more to contend with and we know no effectual remedy to cure him except to work ltim to death. Keep him kicking but be sure to have the dash-board iron plated ami tho work well done so that his ambition will exhaust his consti tution. Next to tho "calamity shrickcr" tho kicker is tho worst enemy inside the order we have to contend with. From such may the Good Lord deliver us. QUESTIONS ASKED. We hear many persons out of the order saying, "oh, you are tak ing in all tho politicians." We admit tho local politician to this order, if he is a laborer or earns a part of his bread when out of of fice, "by the sweat ot his brow," that he shall have an opportunity to pattern after honest ambitions and tniTteS eTTirts fx-"one anofiier. Hut taking him ii.to this order is no sign that his thirst for office is to be gratified beyond tho offices of this lodge; then his ambitions are ended so far as hopes for fame are concerned. He h our fellow man ami our order is to aid and benefit our fellow-man, consequent ly wo admit politicians with no great danger to tho order. TUB ALLIANCE IN THE STATES. The order is, from reports, mak ing great progress, but is far from being united in sufficient strength to reach all the dangers that men ace me members ol the union. Within a week a trust of all the barb wire companies has been formed and wire advanced one cent a pound. A still greater trust, formed of all the nianufac tureisof farm machinery, includ ing mowers and reapers, all in one! gigantic combine to force up prices this coming harvest of 1S31, is an other recent venture. Now with all the hopes of this order it looks as though the leaders who are at the helm of so many millions of the Union are either unfit to unite us to combat this combine, or else we arc far weaker than should be expected of even a few well united, determined members of a society with a common cause to strive for. TO TEItRITORIAL MEMBERS. Tho Farmer's and Laborer's Union of the Indian Territory is getting to be a factor of no small proportions. We do not consider that the benefits and objects of our order differ much from the aims and hopes of the order throughout the country, yet our wants may not be altogether in common with our r.eighbots in the states. For these reasons it is hoped that at no distant day a general meeting of delegates from all the sub-Alliances will be held and the wishes and wants of the order here in the territory discussed. We are al ready a factor of ourselves and we as farmers and laborers, in order to better our condition, now pro pose to make our want? known to this order and if needed to elect such men to make our laws and see that our wants are secured. We now have no need to go chas ing after tho local or professional politician; being united we pro pose to use our forces to execute tho wants and necessities that years of corruption and misman agement of public affairs have heaped upon m. "RYE STTAW" UN THRESHED. Vinita, I. T., Dec. i'2,'lSH). The organization of the Farmer's Alliance and Industrial Union in this country has already reached proportions that its most sanguine adrocates never dreamed of. And in view of this fact, there is great need of eooldieaded, broad-mind ed conservative leadership, Too much enthusiasm at this time will hinder our growth and thwart the ends for which we were organized. Let us not break ranki and rush ahead. What we need most at this time is strength; let our en ergies bo dirocted toward better organization. Let us move in such a way as to carry with us an air of reserved force that will both at tract and hold the better class of citizens to us. We are under no galling yoke of servitude; thoru is no call for Russian Nihilism. We simply want to better our condi tion; to establish a feeling ol gen eral sympathy among tho great army of workers in tho different avocations of liie. One blessed charm of organization is friend ship; it brings us closer together; it makes our interests the same. If we do nothing more than do slroy tho petty local jealousies that spring up in every community and which so much stand in the way of progress, and which so wither and dwarf the mind, we will have done enough to immor talize us. But there are dangers in our pathway; pitfalls as it were. Men with personal, selfish aims in view can hardly wail for an op portunity to use us. They look upon us as their own legitimate prey and would hurry us into tho adoption of measures that would wreck us. There are also a class of men (but their namo is not le gion) who aro inclined to rid icule the work in which the Al liance peoplo are engaged and to consider it of little consequence. They have never been brought face to faco with a movement of this kind that really had in it the elements of success. Nothing but positive demonstration will ever get these fellows to understand that there is really something in it and that the Alliance has come to stay and means business. Yours Truly, Rye Straw. i AN INSTRUCTIVE LETTER. KAOi.it, I. T., Dec. V.), IK). The Ciiikftain having adopted !i more definito policy in regard to that ull-absorbing topic of tho day, the Farmer's Alliance, it occurred to me that a few lines of argument in support of said move would not bo out of place. As far as Tun Ciiieftaix is concerned it is a financial venture backed by con victions of right. The Alliance was in n"e3 ot a mcaiis of public communication so the arrangement was a mutual agreement, one where botli sides of tho trade feel sure they will make money and be of advantage to every patron of the paper, whether the patron is a subsciiberor an advertiser. And right here I want to discuss a dis position tli ut is prominent in Al liance members and businessmen. As soon as the ono has joined the order they both seem to think there is a declaration of war be tween the two. This is an erro neous idea, for the farmer cannot bo divorced from the merchant and the merchant cannot continue to prosper while the farmer is con tinuously losing property, either by actual destruction or deprecia tion of prices. And no one who is acquainted witli tho affairs ol the farmer will maintain that far mers are prosperous nor have they been for more than ten years. This continuous depreciation of prices has created a spirit of un rest and it is but natural that they should direct their first endeavors to better their condition by an ar rangement witn the merchant w ho is in sight and appears to be mak ing money. I will not discuss the profits of the retail merchant. They may be unreasonable and now that the farmer has begun to investigate, if they aro unreason able he will find it out and will j think out a way . to remedy the evil. But if the merchant will meet the farmer half way, giving concessions where they are reason able and maintaining his position with reasonable argument where concessions cannot bo made, then there will be no Alliance stores and business will prosper as far as practicable while the financial conditions remain as they are. The thinking and investigating element of the Alliance has gone away beyond the retail counters of the country, in looking for tho source of hard times, and has placed the blame at the doors of our law makers and tell the story in just two words "class legisla tion" which has especially cre ated a monopoly ir, our land, money and transportation, and smaller monopolies by tho score. The farmers in conjunction with the Knights of Labor at their great meeting in 8t. Louis one year ago, made certain demands in a plat form which they think will, if enacted into I aw, bring relief. They have stood by them for a year and when no concessions could be gained they have empha sized their demands at the ballot box and in many instances with success. "But," says one, "you are going to spoil it all if you go into politics." The national pres ident at Winfield, Kan., said the Alliance is as full of politics as an egg Is ot substance but it is not necessary to bo partisan to bo pol itic. We are asking certain rem edial measures and we do not pro pose to support men for any office who will not support our measures. If that is politics, make the most of it. To the Cherokee people I would say, on behalf of the non citizen members of tho order: As far a I have been ublo to learn their sentiments, they are in favor of justice to tho Chcrokees as laid down in their troitios with tho government, which is the only standard by which wo are able to judge of justice. I have beard of some Cheiokees who were afraid to join for fear the Alliance would meddle with Cherokee politics. It is generally conceded by the order that affairs that arc strictly Cherokee' bhall be left with Chero kee members and citizens, w hile it a matter is brought forward in which we are mutually interested you can hardly refuse us the American's right to petition. The Cherokees claim to be over run with intruders. Land monop oly has helped if it is not the prime cause of driving them here; then join tho Alliance and help break up this great monopoly. On your two principal lines of rail road yon pay higher rates of fare and freight than your neighbors on al! sides of you; then join the Alliance and help to overcome litis giant transportation monopoly. Then, to crown nil, the rate of interest is much higher than the rate of natural Increase of wealth, and property is bound centrato in a few hands proportion as the rate of to cou just in interest exceeds the natural increase of wealth; then join the Alliance ami help to dislodge this great Ameri can devilfish. When these reforms are accom plished we can leave an inheritance to our children that will not nec essarily be one of slovenly and deepest poverty, and they will rise up and call you blessed.
