for Incor-
Cut off by the Operations of the Law—'This Feature of Act Probabl "
Overlooked by Congress.
Muskogee, I. T. March 11.— In
(lit reports gent out from Indian
Territory regarding the constitu-
tionality of the act of Congress
which abolishes the tribal courts
and places all members of tho
bribes uuder the jurisdiction of tho
.United States courts in Indian Ter-
ritory, the real effect of the act on
the government of the tribes has
been lost sight of. It is the gener-
al opinion here that the members
of congress had no idea of the
damaging effect which this act, as
passed, would hare on the educa-
tional and industrial interests of
the tribes or they would not have
'>>emii!ted it to become a law with-
out making some provision (or tho
'protection of these two most im-
'portant interests of the Territory.
*The congressmen undoubtedly
thought that, on account of the
'corruption of tlie tribal courts, it
'would be better for all members of
'lie tribes who wero charged with
'crimes, or were opposing parties
iu civil action, to have their mat-
ters determined by the United
States courts, and in this they
were doubt fully Correct; but the
fact that the abolition of the tribal
courts would take away from tlie
tribes all menus of enforcing tho
collection of their revenues, and of
'carrying out their qua antine laws,
seems not to luve entered the
iniiids f the framers of this bill.
EAKLY ACTION NEOF.SSAHY.
It Is becoming more apparent
each day thnt nolens eotno amend-
ment is made to this act before tlie
present session of' congress shall
close, by which the United States
'courts in the Indian Territory, or
the United States Indian agent for
the Five Civilized Tribes can en-
force the payment of these reve-
nues, the various schools of these
nations, and especially tlioss of
the Cherokee Nation, will he com
pelled to close on account of lack
\'f funds.
it is not generally known out
aide the Indian Territory that each
of tho Five Tribes Jias schools of
Its own, which the children who
are members of the tribe and of
school age may attend, each pupil
being furnished with books, board
(ind lodging by the nation without
cost to the individual membeer of
the tribe. These schools are sup-
ported by interest on the invested
funds of the tribes and by faxes,
Which are levied by tho different
tribes on the non.citizens who
reside within their limits.
Each white man, or npn citizen
who rmt8 a farm from a citizen of
any of these tribes, or who works
for one of the citizens, is required
to pay a small tax for so doing,
which is the only tax that sttcli a
non citizen is required to pay
while residing witbiu the limits of
Che tribes. The paymeut of these
taxes, or permits, as they are gen-
erally termed, lias heretofore been
enforced by laws of tbe different
tribes which made it a criminal
offense for any member of the
tribo to rent to any non-citizen or
to employ one who had not paid
his permit. Since the act of con-
gress which abolishes tho tribal
courts, has gone into effect, and
the judges of tho United States
couits in the Indian Territory have
instructed (he grand juries to in-
dict any officer of the five Tribes
wli# attempts to exercise jurisdir-
tion over crimes committed, or
suits instituted, after January 1,
tbe majority of the non citizens of
the Territory have refused to pay
their permits. As the tribal courts
are prevented by law from punish-
ing their own citizens dealing with
the Intruders and as there is no
law of tho United States to com-
pel non-citizens to pay their per
mits or to authorizo the United
States Courts iu the Indian Ter
ritory to enforce the permit laws
of the different tribes, the probab-
ilities are that these non citizens
will refuse to pay, and tho Five
Tribes will be defrauded out of
about 1 Million dollars a year,
which will necessarily compel them
to close their schools.
It was thought for a while that
the United States courts would
enforce the payment of these per-
mits, and Judges Clayton and
Thomas of the United States
courts in tho Indian territory fo
expressed themselves, but Judges
Springer and Townsend of the
same judiciary, the former the
chief justice of the court of appeals
of the Indian territory, have ex
pressed the opposite view and hold
that they cannot enforoo a law
which is not found in tho statutes
of fite Suited States.
At the Jaunary term of the fed-
eral conrt at Viuita, I. T., Judge
Thomas instructed the grand jury
to indict any citizens of tho tribes
who employed non citizens who
refused to pay their permits, and
a tnau and bis wife in the Chero
kec Nation wore indicted for em
ploying white clerks iu their
stores, which is contrary to the
Cherokee law. I).strict Attorney
Soper, however, entertains the
same views regarding these mat-
ters as do Judges Springer and
Townsend, and tho case against
these persons was never prosecu-
ted.
Should tbe non citizen consent
to pay tliese permits, without be
iug forced to do so, there seems to
be no law which would puuish the
collectors of this revenue, if they
should appropriate their entire
collections to their own use.
Nor are the educational inter-
ests of these tribes the only ones
which are threatened by the opera-
tion of this act. Tho vast herds of
cattle which belong to tbe mem
bers of these tribes aro liable to
become infected with the num-
erous diseases to which Southern
cattle are subject, bccauso the
quarantine laws of these tribes
can no longer be enforced, and
hundreds of cattlo are being ship-
ped into the Indian Territory frc tn
the South, which conld not be
brought in if these laws could be
upheld by any court in the Indian
Territory.
Tbe situation is very grave, Btid
unless Congress sees til to remedy
these evils, great damage will
result to the tribes.

ently drunk. Henry and Oindy

lUnry, began crying, and after
inquiry as to tlie causo, said tbey

lin denies this, lie being thero that

formed them of the killing, arid
