The Muldrotv Register camo out last week doublo its usual sizo and with hnndsome write ups of a num. bor of He ".itizena. Thk Tolcphono has again been reaurrocted after its rathor long slumber. Typographically it shows a decidedly neat appearance. Tub arrival of Bill Cook at Port Smith a few days ago drew a great crowd of curious peoplo who wanted to sco the man who was supposed to have figured in so many holdups and murders. Bill Cook was arrainged beforo Judge Parkor at Fort Smith, Tues day and pleaded not guilty to each of tho three counts. He is charg ed with robbery on two counts and with taking government money on ono count. Tiir.p.F. are a few echoes from tho Strip payment that are not un interesting. One man is said to havo 8GO,000 on deposit, who a year ago had no visible means of support. This is what tho finan ciers would call an unearned divi dend. The chief reasons why tho press of this country has not received a reasonable measure of respect is because it has not respected itself and hence does not deserve and should not oxpect it from the pub lic. All cannot bo Greeleys, but all can bo gentlemen. An innovation is promised in Tahlequah journalism by tho re organized Telephone, which says a medium has long been needed to answer The Chieftain. We in terpret this to mean The Chief tain's arguments and gladly wel come the novelty and congratulate Tahlequah. The Quapaws have petitioned tho secretary of tho interior to allot their lands, giving each 200 acres. They havo already allotted their country among themselves, but want the matter ratified by the secretary of tho inteiior. The Dawes commission assured them last summer that favorable action could ha obtained in. thir matter before the department. It is now reasonably sure that tho Shawneoe, Delawares and Frcedmon will draw their per capita share of Strip money some time during the coming summer, and something over two million dollars will be distributed in this nation. The greater portion of thin money will be paid to people living in the upper districts the country contiguous to Vinita nnd this with the court that wo are sure to get will make business good and swell the growth of our city. Surely Vinita is on the high road to eucccss and will be the queen, city of the whole territory. "The good that jnen ,lp. lives after them," is as true of editors as any peoplo living if not more so. If we print something geod about anybody we never hear of it, but if we say anything men don't like, we hear of it very soon. We may pay some people a hund red compliments and they never hoar of it or notice itjthey evident ly take it as a tribute to their groatnes?; but when anything is said about him that is not compli mentary he gets up on his car in great shape. We know a number of peoplo who it is easy to say something good about any day day in the week, and wo also know others who it is mighty hard to ever say anything good about and toll the truth, but they are tho ones who expect the most. Thk leaders of the National party about Tahlequah are making a great effort to call out a third ticket for the chieftaincy. As tho matter now stands with Bob Ross as their standard bearer they have no show in tho world of winning the election in August. Those who really favor allotment ihould not bo led into any such a decep tive en.tro by tho wily Nationals. As much as The Chieftain be lioves that allotment is the inevit able solution of tho Indian prob lem, it would not favor an allot mont ticket and a campaign fought out on that basis, for the simple reason that it could not win in the present stale of affairs. Be side, allotment of lands in the Cherukoo nation will como in its own good timo, not through any political party in this nation, but by congressional legislation. The thing for overy honest voter in tho ChcroWeo nation to do this year is to rally around Sam Mayes, make him chief, and savo Iho country from destruction by falling into tliu hands of tho peoplo whoso only dJre is to plunder it, The pres ent u time when the Interests -U. . Al.I.' J . l. kept in tho hands of tho very safest men that can bo found. No, if a third tickot is put out it will bo at tho instigation of tho Nationals in order to split tho Downing vote. No attention should be paid to tho movement by thoso who favor al lotment, becauso this campaign can havo no bearing whatever on the subject of allotment of lands and this will not bo tho issuo. The ChI3ftain has repeatedly called attention to tho danger and the diro consequences of, carrying concealed arms Hardly a week elapses without the occurrence of somo awful tragedy on account of somebody having a pistol in his pocket. Every man who carries a gun wouldn't liko to admit that ho was carrying it to kill somobody with, but such" is tho only logical conclusion and sooner or later that will bo tho rosult. A man with a pistol in his pocket feels liko he ought not take an insult and will got into trouble oftencr than if un armed and with far more disas trous results. Wo know some good men, who carry pistols and they dont realizo that they are not only violating the law continually themselves, but set the example for others and thus become a men ace to socioty. In tho absence of whisky and pistols there would be few killings to report from this territory or any whero else. What will tho Chieftain do in the event an allotment candidate comes out for chief? That paper should not have been so hasty in closing a deal to support the cat tlemon's candidate for it may find itself in a very embarrassing posi tion before tho campaign ends. Arrowphone. The Chieftain would rather havo an honest man for chief, who opposed allotment, Jthan have a Ecoundrel who favored it see? OUR TAHLEQUAH BUDGET. Liberal Party Ro-organlzatlon A Ross Boomerang Notes. Tamliquah, I. T , Jin, 21, 1693. Tho coming out of tho Liberal party, which is now a foregone con clusion, will cut quite a swath in Boss' vote in this district. In deed, it is now believed by many, who are posted on how the vote goes, that the Liberals will be the means of restoring the district to the Downings, as most of the "sore heads" voted the National ticket at the last election on a promise irom that party that the old Liberal element would ho remembered in ono way and another when the 7faUonal8""f(ot In power. Now the uisgrunueu minerals say mey will not help any party but their own in the future, and as they have never, as a body, voted the Down ing ticket, their support will be lost only to tho Nationals. The Liberal party, however, are confident of cutting a much wider swath at the next election than they did four years ago. Their principles of allotment are much more respected now than then, and their leaders here declare they will never grow smaller or compromise their votes again because of defeat. Hon. Gideon Morgan is perhaps the most enthusiastic Liberal In the district and he is confident the party will elect eome of their men this time. He has avowed his int tcntion of devoting considerable of his time and eloquence this sum mer to stumping the nation in the interest of the party. Mayor Ridge Paechal is another ardent supporter of Liberal party prin ciples, and says he will go his full length again and vote for any man tho party nominates for chief, to run on an allotment platform. There are several other prominent politicians in this district, who arc now preaching Liberal doctrine and will do battlo against the two old partios during the present cam paign. Chief Teheo, in tho absence of Chief Harris, who is yet in Wash ington, has appointed Hon. P II. Holland as district judge, of Going tnako to fill out the term of Judge Joe Starr, deceased. Citizens of Tahlequah are groat ly elated over the news that this city is to be one of the U. S. court towns. A company to build a large court houne has been organ ised and work will commence on it shortly. Tho marriage of Mr. Phil W. Samuels of Pryor Creek to Miss Florence McSpadden of this city will take place Wednesday nl the Methodist church in this city, and the popularity of the couple makes mo coming oveut one ol more than ordinary interest. Jim French has replaced his formor tutor, Bill Cook, as an ex traordinary desperado. LaBt Tues day night he and one Sam MeWil liams went to the house of Joseph Glad, living on tho Tahlequah and Ft. Gibson road, and called Mr. Glad to the door. After opening tho door Glad recognized the ban dits and fearing robbery quickly closed it in their lace. This so en raged tho two highwuymen Hhat they at onco began firing through the door, wounuii.g Glad and his wife in the arm and seriously shooting a Miss Marshal through the hips. It is thought the latter will recover. French and MoWil Jium8 then left without further damage. Ib Webb Vann it Member? Tho city council met in called session last Saturday and passed an ordinance reqiring all qitizens of tho Cherokee nation living in Pryor Creek to procuro permits for or see that tho non-citizens in thoir employ have them. All citi zenB violating this ordinance, nro subject to a fine of not less than $5 INDIAN TERRITORY COURTS. Foaturoa of Improvomont in tho Ponding Bill. WAaiiixorof, I) 0.,Jn so Tho passago by tho Houso of tho senate bill relating to tho United slates court in tho Indian Territory offers a prospect for remedying somo ot tho troubles from which thnt region has been suffering. Certain amendments havo been made to it, but none apparently which ehouhl come to a deadlock on the bill or that cannot bo dis posed of ensil y in conference In 1800 congress passed an act creating this court, giving it juris- uiciion over me criminal onences technically known as misdemean ors, and the next ye'r this juris diction was I'umcwhat extended. It has also jurisdiction in civil case?. But, with a whito popula tion, which has becomes very largo, tho iloekots of this court aro over loaded. Again, tho United States commissioners cannot finally try a misdemeanor, but, on tho showing of cause, can only bind over tho parties to appear in tho court, f Inn, upon tho latter an undue amount of business is thrown. The bill pacsed by tho senate, which was approved by the United States judge in the Indian Territory made two leading changes in the existing provisions. Ono was that of providing that tho commission er can pronounce final judgment on certain misdemeanors whero tho fine docs not exceed 8300, while rights ol appeal to the district courts in the territory are granted in other cases. The compensation of the commissioners is limited in the bill fin passed by tho houso to 82,000 a year, although it was said in debate that some of them now make from 87,000 to 812,000 a year. -- Again, tho courts aro held at Ardmorc, South MeAlestor, and Muscogee. But tho new bill de clares that one additional judge shall be appointed and that the entire Indian country shall bo divided into two judicial districts. There were various propositions in the senate, and tho house, as to the places where courts should be held in tho northern district, but finally tbe-houso. fixed upon Mus cogee, Tahlequah and Vinita, all well-known places, and added Miami, which is said to bo the only section of land in the terri tory owned by white citizens of the Unitcil fatates, congress having tome vears auo authorized its sale to a townsito company. For the southern district Chickasha, a new town on the Hock Island railroad, was added to Ardmore and South McAlester, where courts are now held, aftor attempts at substituting Duncan and Purcell. Under the existinc system the jurisdiction over crimes, including capital cases and ollenscs punish able by confinement in the peni tentiary in tho United States, is at P.IFID fav rtrwl C,-4 GmWI. A.l. .....a, ll., 1411, X'VllUil till, JlliV. An amendment was accordingly offered in the house for civinc tho courts in the Indian country cyji,, current junuiu'iun wmi me runs and Fort Smith courts, over tho offense of larceny. And again, it was provided that this crime of larceny should hereatier be pun ished by a fine of not more than S1.000, or an inprifaonment of not more than 15 years, or both. An objection was raieed that there was no distinction here between petty and grand larceny, and that too much discretion in the range of penalties was civen to the court. But in reply it was shown that even at present a man micht be im pri-oned for 10 or 15 years for stealing a hor3e, and the amend ment wai adopted. An effort was made to allow In dians to transfer their cases from Ihe tribal to tho federal courts, in ca"-o they think they cannot obtain ju-tice. But the amendment of fered for that purposo was rejected, it being considered bettor to con fine the bill to its proper subject, especially a the courts would be open to further work, and are overloaded now. An amendment adopted by the house strikes out from the senate bill the jurisdiction accord ed in tho latter for suits between citizenb of tho United States and a tribe or nation. That seems to be a wise change, since not only could a judgment thus obtained bo satisfied by disposing of the lands of tho tribo, but because, as Mr. Culberson expressed it, "tho courts havo uniformly decided that these tribos cannot be sued in the United States without their consent, so long as their autonomy remains." Under tho bill, as passed by the house, it is provided that the United States courts in the Indian Territory and three commissioners shall have the exclusive power to determine tho controversies aris ing out of mining or farm leasts or contracts for mining coal, without rogard to the citizenship ot the patties. And, in short, it is evi dent that tho pending bill will im prove tho system of administering justice in tho Indian Territory ,anu thus diminish the ovils which have attracted public attention of late The bill as it stands, certainly adds new judicial facilities whore they are needed It is noticeable that in the house debate it was urged that the courts of tho five tribes usually arrived at substan tial justice, and that tho notion of tho Dawes commission that these courts wero a mere travesty, was quite too hasty a generalization. Tho pending bill, however, does not concern theso courts. Anxious For a Ohango.

Ho admits his participation in tho robbery of tho train at Red Fork and tho MoDermntt Rtnrn million- and will plead guilty to them. He says Cherokee Bill fired tho shot that killed Sequoyah Houston and has dune most of the devilment laid on his shoulders. He seems happy and contented and is hav ing a good time. He says ho didn't like scouting and is glad it is over with. Judge Parker returned today from his eastern trip and tomor row tho wheels of justice in tho U. S court will begin to grind again. Tho examination of J. S. Daven fort for the killing of W. T. Go forth fs in progress beforo commis sioner Wheeler and will not be concluded until tomorrow after noon. Considerable of a sensation was created last week by the finding of tho body of a man on Garrison creek not far from tho city. Tho man was identified as one of two strangers who left here about tho middle of December for a camp hunt. The drayman who hauled them ft) their camp says the man had plenty of money. Tho other man has not been found and sus picion rests on him as the mur derer. The murder is supposed to have been committed about De cember 22. The memoranda and papers found among the dead man's belongings lead to tho belief that he was a stockman from near Canton, O., though his name could not bejqarned The alove crime 'and 'that for which tho two Pierce boys aro in jail bear a wonderful similarity to the crimes of Poynter and Holder, the last two men executed here. The similarity is mado more stick ing by the fact that tho man mur dered near Wagoner was named Vandever which was tho name of one of Poyntors victims. Gus Brown, tho pugilist who visited a number of tho payments last su inner, bested Billy Poole, one ol the leading light weights ot the northwest, in a ten round go, at Little Rock lust week.
