A CHICKASAW DAILY.
The Ohickaaaw Chieftain baa
bloomed ont into tbe Ardmore
Dally Chieftain.
It is a neat, interesting, six col-
umn paper, brim fnll of spicy edi-
torials and interesting news items
It is fall of fight and has very lit-
tle respect for traditions and cus-
toms that stand in the way of tbe
fulfillment of its ideas. We
qoote the following from its sain
tatory:
It repudiates the mistaken doc
trine of Indian sovereignty Jaud
Auglo-Sazon subserviency in this'
oonntry. It believes that tbe
men who have built the towns
and opened the larms of tbe
Chickasaw nation should have
tbe right to own what their hands
have wrought and as United
States citizens exercise every
prerogative of civil government.
The Chieftain believes that the
theory that Indian treaties are
sacred is a crime against civiliza-
tion and that tbe Indian is made
of no finer clay than his white
brother. It believes in the divine
right of revolution and the sur-
vival of the fittest. It knows that
tbe existing system is wrong and
that it must be righted by tbe
strong hand of tbe federal gov-
ernment, with or without the con-
sent of tbe Indian.
This is bold talk, but tbe Chief-
tain is not alone in these ideas.
We admire tbe boldness with
which :t proclaims its views, even
if we cannot subscribe to all of
them.

In setting forth tbe advantages of a city to attract capital and
immigration it is too much tbe style to give possibilities for ffcots,
and to depend upon fancy rather than figures. The city of Gaines-
ville has heretofore beeu very modest in announcing to ^the great
migratory public its claims to a part of the attention that is being be-
stowed upon new and growing places.
This is not the case with Gainesville. It is not a tract of land
laid off into lots and streets, which some speculator is trying to in-
duce somebody to improve and make a town of. It is already a live,
energetic, bustling, go ahead little city of perhaps 8500 inhabitant
The census of 1890 gave her 6561, and there has been a large increase
since.

Gainesville, the county seat of Cooke, is near tbe center of tLo
county, six miles south of Red river. On all sides are rich agricul-
tural lands. These lauds produce almost anything that is grown iu
North America. The great staple productions are wheat, ootton,
corn, oats, barley, millet and other grasses.
Cooke county raises annually about 20,000 bales of cotton. This
is handled at Gainesville and usually brings about $800,000 in eaab.
The wheat crop is large, wlulejC^Ute-faising and beef shipping also

OPENING THE TERRITORY
There will be nothing settled
about Indian territory affairs nntil
that country is opened for settle-
ment. As a rule the people in the
sections bordering on that coun-
try have been opposed to its

bills. They will be pushed.

tured here last year on "World

great number of our people wonld
rush into that country if it were
thrown open. So they would.
But they are going anyway, and
hundreds are waiting to go. We
have found out that the poorest
citizen any place can have is one
who is preparing to leave at the
first opportunity. Temporary cit-
izens are not good anywhere. But
if It were opened and a grand runh
made, they wonld come from all
over the Union and in the over-
flow that would follow we would
perhaps get more than we would
lose.
Still it is a matter in which we
have no right to a voice. No mat-
ter what our interest may be, we
have no right to demand that any
action be taken contrary to tbe
rights of the Indians who own the
oountry. It is theirs and they
mast dispose of it as they see fit.
We, of course, could advise what,
in our opinion, would be be best
for them to do, but that is the lim-
it to which we can go. However,
they are getting themselves into
a condition where they will have
to do something before many
years.
We shall contiuue to watch it
with great interest.

Our Representative.
Hon. Jesse Mnrrell was iu tbe
city Thursday and favored tbe
Hesperian with a call.
He Is getting his farm aud busi-
ness in shape to attend the call
session of the legislature. He is
a Mills man and will vote for
Roger as long aa there is any
hope of success. But the elec-
tiou of senator is of less import-
ance to tbe state than almost any
other ^measure that will come up.
On the alien land law Mr. Mur-
rell will favor a modified law that
will allow
lands pledged to them for loans,
but give them a certain number
of years to dispose of it and re-
quire them to do so. He is op-
posed to any measure that will
keep capital out of the state.
Mr. Murrell will be candidate
again, and the Hesperian pre-
dicts that he will be chosen this
time without opposition. He has
made a faithful, honest represen-
tative, and the people cau safely
trust him.

Not a Mushroon Town.
Gainesville is not one of those "Jonah's gourd vine" places
made of tents and box houses ready to be pulled np and moved away
as soon as some temporary attraction ceases. It Is built to stay.
It was founded in 1849, but like most towns on the wild frontier,
without railroads and far from navigation, it was only a small village
for many years.
Solid Growth.
Gainesville is a solid, well established place that has reaohed its
present position by a steady, healthy growth.
But it has by no means reached its limit. It has posidbilities
arising from its position aud from other causes that ought to, and
we believe will, make it one of the best and most thriving towns' in
the state.
Her Needs.
She needs more capital in the wholesale business toehold the
trade of the country tributary to her.
She needs several factories, mills, etc. A good cotton seed oil
mill is one of her pressing needs. The cotton seed ia at our doors and
we have the cattle to fatten on the oil cake. We need a canning
factory to put up the fruits and vegetables, which our farmers allow
to waste every year. A tannery could find all the hides it oould nse
and a market for all the leather it could make. .
Various other enterprises would 'pay here, and we need men of
brains, skill and capital to help us occupy the field that promises
such good returns.
Every man who is not a drone can find an opening here ne mat-
ter whether his capital consists in skill, muscle or money.
Railroads.
Gainesville's first road was the Denison and'Pacific, built from
Denison and reaching here In 1879. It was the terminus of this
road until 1886, when the great Santa Fe system built through from
Galveston and connected with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
from the north. Then the Gainesville, Henrietta and Western was
built from here to Henrietta, where it connects with the Fort Worth
and Denver and gives us connections with the Panhandle and New
Mexico.
The Santa Fe has its division headquarters, round house and

Recently the Missouri, Kansas aud Texas, which had absorbed

Schools.
No city iu the United States has a better system of graded
schools and high schools.
We have four splendid brick school buildings costing near $100,-
000. There are about 1200 children in attendance, and a splendid
corps of competent and well paid teachers have charge of them.
Then we have the Gainesville College with a good attendance
and a fine corps of teachers.
Also tbe Texas Synodical College, which has just been taken
charge of by by the Presbyterian Synod of Texas, aud will now be
perhaps the finest female school iu Texac.
Business, Etc.
Her wholesale and retail trade is large. Several of her business
bouses will compare favorably with those of cities five times her
size. She has three National banks, with a capital of over $500,000.
What We Have.
The taxable property of the city footed np, in 1891, $3,561,435.
And this is no fictitious value put on to enable tbe city to issne bonds.
Churches.
Gainesville has eleven white and three colored chnrch organiza-
tions, all of which except one have church buildings and that one
soon will have. It has also a strong Y. M. 0. A. organization, fitted
up with splendid parlors, library and gymnasium.
Factories, Mills, Etc.
Gainesville has two splendid roller patent flouring mills, an iee
factory, an iron foundry, a broom faetory, cigar faetory, bottling
works, soap factory, planing mills, machine ahops, a cotton compress
