From expressions made by bis organ, the Times, it seems probable that tbe spirit of tbe Eagle's opposition to Ed. Dorsey hag not been interpreted aright by everybody. Some men seem incapable of separating a man from his polities. We are not afflicted in that way. There are Democrats who we like personally, men with whom we would trust our honor, our property or anything, men who would di.-dain to do a dishonorable personal act or a treacherous one. They are men in the fullest sense of the term, as such we confide in them. They arc better than their party, at least personally they are so to us. While we like and would trust them much farther than we would some others we know, we nevertheless have no use for the party to which they belong. Individually these friends are good men but their party steams with treachery. Its history to us is odious as treason itself, because it was the party of treason. Our memory has it so recorded, history has it w recorded, and we don't want a party of such infi delity, and turpctnde to obtain control of this great free government. These men whom we know and trust as individuals are not superior to that old hunker party in the sense that they control it, for there is a spirit in a party that no man, nor set of men, nor state full of men, can control. That spirit in the Democratic party is against few institu tions, against a Xation which shall rule America, against the honest poor man, further than it can use his vote. That spirit will come to the front if ever in this genera tion the Democratic party comes into powor. That spirit was evinced in the Tammany meeting last Friday night. But wo digress, Ed. Dorsey we always liked as a man, and always trusted him as an official, but lie failed in the hour of a trial of his political principles. Uis associations or something else played him inUc or misled lain. After the Republican party had honored and trusted him for years, he failed in that hour to trust the party or the men who composed it, and went over to the enemy. The enemy took him in and gave him the seat of honor, not because they liked Ed. or de-ired to trust him, but wholly and solely because that enemy thought that Dorsey could and would mislead or induce his friends to do as he had done, and thereby give them a vic tory over the Republican party which they in no other way could gain. It's that spirit of Democracy of which we spoke above It will stoop to anything for success. It will cut the throat of the best and truest man in its own household, and elevate the most bitter enemy, if thereby it can gain or win success. In other words, Ed. Dorsey, who it now appears, wanted to go to the legislature, instead of asking the party and the men who had known him longest and best for that honor, goes to the euemy of those friends and eccepts their aid, with the understanding, covert or otherwise, that he turn his friends over to the enemy also, at least so far as to endorse his action and to vote for him. They will, from this on to election day, treat him royally, flatter him, praise him to others, and urge him to press his Republican friends to come over and vote for him. Of course they will do this. But strong as Ed. was in personal friendships and strong as he may be to-day, there is something beyojvd, and, in one mise, over and above personal friendship in a campaign that is seeking to down principle and ruin the Republican party, and Ed., and the Domocratics, that nominated him a; a de cor duck, will find it out. ' "--- i OKLAHOMA. A Few Words About the Boomers and Their Attitude. Wichita is a Boomer's town or it is not; her people am in favor of opening the Ter ritory in spite of the administration or they are not; her property holders aro either in sympathy with the men who want to leave this town and live in the Territory or they are not; but. however all this may be, we propose, as an entirely disinterested party, except so far as the interests of Wichita are concerned, to set out a few facts. What we fhall say will bo without reference to the good opinion or otherwise of the Boomers or the men who expect to leave this state and become residents of the Territory in caso they succeed in getting it opened for settlement. And right in this connection we will say that, to all who have approach ed us for our private opinion we have in variably said that in our judgment it was only a question of time when the Territory would be opened for settlement. The logic of the situation is in that direction, as arc all precedents. Tlio Indian goes to the wall every time as he did in thi state over one half of which he owned when it was a terri tory. But congress and not l'ayne w ill do that job the government and not private individuals. Wo liavo no more interest for or against opening the Territory than any other citizen of Wichita. While it is truo that the opening of thoc lands would prob ably build up it largo town or two on the border south of us, which might rival Wichita in some respects yet wc hope we aro not so small as to want to cripple others only that Wichita might grow, although to the growth of Wichita and Sedgwick county arc we, and have wo been, bending cery energy for all these years. And so jealous aro we of its standing and good name that it seems unpleasant to us to have it telegraphed day after day all over the country that Wichita is the Boom ers town. With this ojtcning we will say a few words about the Boomer's land for the in formation of those of our readers who have never given the matter any attention, but who now know that the name and prestagc of tbe city are being continually ued as capital by the Boomers. "When those Indians which under Grant's first administration were removed to the Ter ritory they were promised if they would go peacefully they should not bo moved around any more, and that that country should be theirs forever. 1Ihcs in hi administration declared that these understandings and treat ies should bo kept and he issued a proclam ation to that effect, for both Grant and Hayes knew and congress knew and the peo ple now know if ever a settlement gains a foothold in the territory the Indians will have to go. D. L. l'ayne, w ho had been a door keeper in the lower house, selected as a Democrat by the Democrats, lost his place and came west and got up this Boomer scheme, at least he seemed tho head of it. AVhcn he attempted to cam' out his scheme he was warned by the authorities not to do it as there was no lawful warrant tor such a step. He said he knew better and went forward. Of his subsequent arrest and trial at Ft. Smith and still subse quent arrests and ejectments everybody is familiar. It was simply a test as to who was superior the sovereign power of tho peo ple through the administration, or Dave Payne. His persistency became so great that President Arthur wrote a special mes sage to the last congress asking that some measure be passed settling tho entire ques tion. The Democratic house which had discarded Payne, and many of whose xucm Wrs knew him personally, refused to do any thing, and but one man and, ho a western man, in the senate could be induced to Bake a move w hich would even threatened to disturb the Indians or their relations to the Territory. The truth is after you get east of the Mississippi river nine congressmen out of ten are in sympathy with the Indian and PL 4Cte-r.ai, ,.,- J $ "T3- -JLMf!t ia.iJL5ar--. .-w0---f-i? .--. n " rttfcl, -,... TTiT1 .JtJ. -L . T.r- J A I 1, azi?;rr t -rJJ.-n a.iK-r it&b y are continually declaring that western men are never so happy as when defrauding the poor Indian of his reservations. Senator Plumb of this state introduced a bill and made two speeches or talks in its favor, but the great body of the senate acted as though they thcught it another scheme to beat the Indians. So the case stands to-day with the govern ment with inadequate laws upon the one side trying with such means as it has in .its power to keep up the policy of the admin istration and the Republican party on the one side in protecting the Indians and stand ing by the treaties, and upon the other side of Dave Payne and the men whom ho has induced to make investments in the scheme, together with their lawyers and creditors, with Wichita or her people placed in the at titudc of supporting Pavne as ajrainst tho Republican administration and the courts. As to the rights of Payne or any other citizen to go into and settle the territory, that has been talked and discussed by men all the way from the cabinet down to Payne's attorneys. Congress ought to have settled it. The courts have tried to and will try again. That there has been any corruption of the administration or high officials or of courts, is the merest Democratic twaddle, dealt out only by demogogues, or by some body paid by those interested. There is not a shaddow of truth in all the blow about men in high authority having interests in the cattle business of the Territory. As to the cattle men down there, they do not claim to bo settlers, nor do they kesire to be come settlers. They don't want tho land, or if they do. they have too much sense to ex pect to be able to get it under tho present laws. They simply want the product of tho land, simply the grass which they pay the Indians for, and which would otherwise grow up, die and rot, not benefiting, cither cattle men, Indians or Boomers. The differ ence between tho cattle men and the Booin crs is, the latter wants tho lands to sell, and ho former wants to pay for simply what grows up wild, and would be lost if not fed. Wc sometimes think that it is not so much the lands either that tho Boomers want, for their are millions of acres in southwestern Kansas, but rather a foot-hold to speculate, to grab, and to sell. As to the meeting the other night wo sent a reporter over, auUi instructions to givo it an honest, fair roport. When he returned he said, from the speakers, officers, and senti ments, he thought it sounded mora like a Democratic pow-wow than anything else. Wc aro in the midst of a presidential cam paign, and wo expect tho opposition papers will seizo upon every circumstance which can be tortured into a wrongful act of the administration. But what the administra tion or the Republican party has to do with the cattle business on tho plains can only be discovered by the ingenuity of a Democratic demagogue. As to l'ayne and his declarations we have nothing to say. One need only to bo ac quainted with the character of the man and his former methods to be able to deny any and all assertions he may make. But there are men of more or less responsibility who seem to think this Oklahoma question may be nursed into sufficient importance to last until after election. We will say further, we are not interested in the cattle business, even remotely. We have no sympathy with tho cattle men as such. Wc arc not friendly to land munpo lie, nor any other monopoly, nor the ag gregation of capital in any way which cur tails the rights of the many for tho aggran dizement of the few. Our interests and our sympathies are, and always have been, with tho people, and against rings; and this brings n back to tho settlement of Oklahoma. We believe the time is near at hand when the Oklahoma country should be open to settlement, and we arc satisfied this is a growing conviction in the minds of all our western legislators in the Federal congress, without regard to part-. But wo do not believe friendly legislation can be se cured by the methods adopted by tho ad venturer l'ayne and his followers. Payne has never sought by legislation to have the legal obstacles to the settlement of that coun ty removed, but ho has assumed to exercise the functions of tho judicial, legislative and executive branches of the federal govern ment. He has sat in in judgment on the question, and decided in opposition to the best local talent of the United States, that the disputed district was open to settlement; and in defiance of the decisions of courts, and the proclamations of presidents, forbid ding settlement, he has with an armed force, invaded the country and committed acts of insurrection. The treatment of Payne and liis followers, during all these years of of fending, is charaatcristic of our government, and is unlike that of any other government known to history, It seems to be almost a fault of oursystcm of government that it is too magnanimous, too merciful to its citi zens, when they commit overt acts against tho constituted authorities. In any other country Payne would have been convicted and been severely punished. But tho mercy shown to these political offenders has been repaid with taunts. It has been called a "temporizing policy," "cowardice," and "an evidence that Payne's claims wero acknow ledged," etc It has been also charged that the administration was complicated with cat tlemen and his fraud cxposued, and many other things equally absurd. To those who make thce state ments, knowing them to be false, wehacno reply to make. Tho Oklahoma country, so called, was set apart by an act of congress for certain peo ple's uses and until released from tho oper ations of this act nnd devoted to the uses by the same authority, that country is no more subject to settlement by Capt. rayne than earthe parks in the District of Columbia. That it has not been u-ed for tho purpose to which it was dedicated does not make it public lauds open to settlement, and it can only become so by an act of the federal c-ongre-s, which wobe lieve can bo easily secured, but not by threats of armed invasion. Again,Capt.Payiic and his followers aro not ' denied the privileges in Oklahoma which are or have been granted to cattle men. Iet us put this so plaidly that "the wayfaring man, though fool, need not err therein. i Cattle nen have been granted no privilege in Oklahoma which Capt. l'ayne and his fol lowers or any other citizen of tho United, States, may not freely enjoy. And what aro i theso much talked of privileges? Cattle men I going on Indian lands, by the authority of J the Indians adjoining the Oklahoma coun- j try, could sec no objection to their cattle grazing on the Oklahoma district, and. liltlc by little, their cattle drifted on to those lands- II. M. Teller, secretary of the Inter ior, was informed of these facts, and ho promptly instructed Major Dcwees, post commander at Fort Reno, to warn all per sons in the Oklahoma country that it was unlawful for them to buna fences, or cor rals or erect houses, or plow the lands, or to do.any act in the nature of a permanent settlement. In the meantime the boomers so-called invaded the country, and com menced the work of permanent settlement. Some of the bolder of the cattle men built a temporary post Bnd wire fence; some built log houses and some put up hay for the sad dle ponies the coming winter. These facts were again reported to Secretary Teller, and he at once called upon the secretary of war for a military force to destroy these im provements. General Hatch, now com manding at Fort Reno, ordered the cattle men to remove all these improvements with in thirty days. The cattle men answered that they made no claim to a permanent lodgement in the country that their im provements were only temporary and were harmless, that they did not defy tho gov ernment, but rather asked for mercy, and - J.'. ,? 'isH: ' .J.-7.1 r.lt. IiJ.1 fV.U, ta," t : . j& E-j--,ft il B'...V 'ftia-'Tji"! i9T? ?'ittAy-'JL'rz'i while waiting for an answer to this respect ful request, the soldiers were sent out and actually cut down their fences, and burned their houses and their hay stacks. Now, what would the people of Wichita think of these cattle men if they should come to Wichita and ask for a baud of music to es cort them from tho depot to a public hall, that.they might relate the story of their wrongs? They have suffered no wrongs, and they have loo much sense to complain. They occupied that country without the shaduw of law, and while they did not insult the of ficers of their government by threats of armed resistance as did the braggart l'ayne, thoy were nono the less intruders, and they could not appeal for protection to that law which they had violated. And now we will ask the rink meeting sympathizers how many of them understood fullv the character of the lat offense of Payne, and how it differed from his other offences? It will surprise many to learn that this last attempt at settlement was not upon Okla homa lands at all, but was upon the Chero kee lands known as the Cherokee strip or outlet. Even Judge McDonald in his speech at the Friday night meeting is reported to have said he believed "All these lends had reverted to the government but the Chero kee strip." It is understood by all, and nobody has disputed tho proposition, that the lands known as the Cherokee strip actu ally belonged to the Cherokeo Indians, and what crazy notion Payne had in making a settlement upon their lands has never been explained. He represents that rich cattle men occupv these lands; and we answer that rich men occupy lands in Sedgwick county, but Capt. Payne would be handled roughly if he should attempt to settle upon any of tlu-e large farms without permission of tho owner. o have not tho space to day to give the history of the Cherokee na tion, and tho different acts of congress and acts of treaty, by which they acquired title, but it is enough to say their title is absolute and perfect, with the single reservation that thev cannot convey it in fee without tho consent of the government. Xow that portion of their land lying west of the OCth parallel tho Clioiokee have made no use of since the game was exhaust ed and thev have let it for vears to cattle and sheep men for grazing purposes only. They permit no plowing of the land nor the erection of any permanent buildings. After upon these lands several j ears and paying by the head, the parties who were so occu pied funned themselves into an association and rented this land in a body, paying for the use of tho lands $100,000 per annum in two half yearly payments in advance. To call this a ring or a monopoly is absurd. All persons who came were permit ted to hold herds of cattle, horses and sheep on these lands, and the man with one hundred head as much right to como as was as welcome as the man with ten thousand. All paid by the head and it did not matter to the Indi ans so long as enough came to occupy all the lands, that they might get the largest revenue. It was during this state of things that Mr. McCoy, who presided at the, l'ayne meeting, was employed to collect pay or tn, as it was then called. Tlie types make Mr. McCoy say that the government, (meaning the federal government), collected this tax, thus proving the government claimed the lands as public domain. If Mr. McCo -aid this', or only the reporter said it, Mr. McCoy knows it to bo untrue. AH theso taxi- or rents were eol!cctil for the Chirokeu nation, or rather by the Chciukeo nation, for tht-.v are quite competent to transact their own business, and Mr. McCoy v.-:i- --ooi: -uceped-ed as collector by members of the tribe. Now we have shown that then" lands were occupiedbx all comers without irspect of persons l.y rich and bv poor, b black and by white and all who ebosi- to remain and engage in the hiie for the jmii were not only permitted but invited to do so. We are not advised as to tho number of persons en gaged in making this lease, but wo are turc there are -e end thousands directly and in directly interested ill it. And this is the country nnd these are the lands on to which the modest Captain l'ayne, like a French Communist, landed his lazy carcass, and hoisting over his rebellious head tho Ameri can flag defied tho renters of tho land, the owners of the land, and the government whose duty it is to protcrt nil its citizens. It tickles our vanity considerably to have exchanges copy items from tho Republican, but it wears on dur nerves somewhat when they do so and credit them to the Anthonv Journal. If there is anything wc hato it is to represent a corpse. This item is written for the benefit of the Wichita Eaoi.k. Anthony Republican. There was an Anthony .lounial and the force of habit we suppose still compels us, when not thinking, to credit tho Republi can clippings to it. Kciisc the force of habit. A CORRECTION. To He Kditor of Me Daily Eaglt: Dear Sin: As your repnner was oblig ing enough to give an imposing array of names in designating the convention of the "Peoples party' last Saturday, I would ak as a favor and in justice to the Knights of Labor, that the public he informed of the fact that the Knight of Labor is not a polit ical association as they might infer by the article in reference to the convention in the Sunday's Eaolx. As an order they aro pro hibited from taking part with the conven tions of any party whatsoever and conse quently could not have cut any figuro in Saturday's convention os stated by our re porter. Respectfully, K. II. LnUTKKL. The editor of t!ie Kaole knows that and had prepared a correction which the above just fills. The report of the meeting was not prepared till after midnight Sat unlay and wo did not see the proof, hence it ap pears ed written. CONOVER BROS.'
