r — ri'ia oustomary for one entering
editorial harps to lay down
-v £-
a set of principles and rates upon
which he proposes to go by We
hope to be pardoned Us omitting
this in ousbowto the public from
the fact thaUbe law lays down the
grounds and principles npon and
for which the Chehokm ‘Advo
CATS was founded by the National
Oonncil of the Cherokee Nation
“To disseminate important nows
to the ' Oberokoe People’ and oth-
ers to defend the rights and
maintain the Government of this
Nation” To this end whoever
talent or ability wo may possess
(you can judge of that by the
paper we make) will bo exclusive
ly devoted to this purpose ever
keeping in view that nothing of u
partisan nature wther than for the
best interests of the whole Ci- i h-
koe People ahull appear in its col-
umns in this we propose to truck
tbe law
To oor friends win pined us
iutbe position us editor of the
Ohehokee Advocate onr heart
goes out with many thunks und
to those who opposed us we have
only the profoundest respect aud
sincerely hope by our work to
merit their esteem
There ! u great crisis ponding in
tbe history of the Cherokee Na-
tion and the hearts and bruins of
onr ablest men will be called on
to enlist against new innovations
aud dangerous measures Yes
measures that threaten the exist-
ence of our little Government and
in this fight for its existence yon
shot have the help of the Advo-
tate as long us we are its editor
As to tbe newt part of this paper
’ we propose to make' it llicYqiml
of auy and nil newspapers in the
country in giving its renders the
newt in -a reliublo shape ospco'ully
upon those matters that effect tbo
Interests of our people You
will And at all times the doings of
the Executive Judicial and Leg-
islative departments of our Gov-
ernment in the columns of this

In pursuance of a joint resolu-

report of tbe commiesion appointed
under an act of the mitioiud coun-
cil approved April 13 1893 und
authorizing "them 'to negotiate a

to submit for jour couth mutton
the accompanying repot t of the
commission
I wIbIi to call your nitration to
the following dcinds'iii icference
to this subject : The ptineipnl of

ple exclusive tbe amount with-
hold hy the soirelmy of die In-
teilur under the plot i-ioiis of the

23000 would give aptr capita
(iisuilmtion of 87 fib or about
t3773 to die family or if applied
to the extinguishment of the tint-
ionul debt would place tho nation
on a solid flunticinl tooling imt
whether nplied to this purpose or
divided among tho people the sum
is too gnat not to invite nn honest
effort to obtain for tho people
While in Washington through
interviews with those high in
authority your commission was
impressed that if the bonds pto-
vided tor by congress could not
lie sold nt n fair valuation tlmt
congiess tould be iudnci d to make
tbe appropriation of the amount
due to date thus relieving tle
United States fioui tbe payment of
further inleiests It is but roa-on
able and fair to coneludu that con-
gress acted in good failh in piovid-
