Mk. Sunday Gazetteer will you
jrtcaao stand up and tell ub whoro
you found out nbout that now
Ohorokeo leaso? ' It roads mighty
familiarly li this office
Tub Houso Committee on In-
dian Affairs has decided to report
Jkyof ably the Benato bill extend-
hig tho timo tho tit. Louia fc Ban
Francisco railroad may havo in
tho. construction of their road
through tho Indian Territory.
Tho bill extends tho time to two
jroirs from October lost and insuros
tho oarly oomplction of tho lino.
Aoent Dter of tho Ch'cycnnca
and Arrapahoeu was rcconlly before
tho DaweB invoBtigating commit-
too Ho mado a statement that in
liia opinion tho leasing of lands by
those Indians to the cattlomon was
gaodraovo. Thatthoy now do-
rivo therefrom u revenue of nearly
J80.000 pur annum whilo beforo
tho lcaeo was made nearly as many
cattlo were held thero ond only
$3000 or 84000 was paid. Ho in-
sisted that the department ought
now that tho cattlomon woro pay-
ing for loasoa to approvo tho eamo
and protoct tho loaseos in their
rights.
R. M. Wolf ono of our dole-
gates told n Washington Star re-
porter that tho myslorious $22500
vras paid to W A. Phillips ns a
fao for bis Bervicoa as attorney
and that ho knows nothing further
nbout it. Possibly tho reporter
misunderstood tho gentleman or
romanced a trifle and an" exatnl-
nation by. tho committooniaSo
"volop Bomethingjftr'fiU' Trie
jSlaj- -snyTf should tho committee
determine to call 'Mr. Phillips he
-oould claim his privilogc as an at-
torney as a bar to tho divulgonca
of any secrets and thua ond tho
- inquiry.
Tuirr do not all look at Oklaho-
ma in tho name light Hero is
what a correspondent of tho Atchi-
son Champion says: "It is a fraud
to claim this country looks like
Kansas did thirty years ago . Kan-
sas 1b and was a queen seated on
a throno of her glorious destiny.-
This country is the natural homo
of thQQoyote' and herdsman hardly
good enough for tho'Indians. Tho
Oklahoma country is OBfalno as the
mirago of Sahara andit is probable
that God in His infinite morcy
called tho Christian Payne home to
glory to prevent him from luring
tho poor deluded Hanson to his
doom." .
Tits Albuquorquo Journal cays
tho desiro on the part of tho In-
dians of tho west for tho education
of their children is growing very
rapidly. The Influence these
youpg scions of a pre-hiatorio race
will havo upon the unlettered older
membera of their respective tribes
and upon tho now generations now
merging from babyhood will bo
such as. soon to removo tho neces-
sity of an armed force to restrain
them within certain prescribed lim-
its. It will not be many yoara be-
foro tho Indian will uno'er his
presout schooling bocomo liko his
whito brother aelf reliant' and
eelf supporting.
Is tho Ciiibktaik not a little too
fast in the foregoing statement?
The attention of the Principal
Chief was a few days sinco called
to this articlo wucn he laughed
heartily and remarked that "no
leaoo" of tho country roferred to
"has boon made yot." Advo-
cate. Tho "forogoing Btatomcnt" al-
luded to is in relation to that syn-
dicate leaso which a number of
our citizens insist thoy havo scon.
Wo aro truly glad that tho "Prin-
cipal Chief laughed heartily" It
ia an idication that ho is woll.and
happy and enjoys life. Aa to be-
ing too fast wo would just say that
far the Chietaix tho statement
was iiot at all "previous." Tho
paper is owned and controlled by
no syndicate and can talk of living
fjysuea whilo thoy aro such. Mr.
Advocato tho procossjon appears
to bo moving.
The investigation of tho cattlo
leaso matter waa begun last Tues
day. Agent John W. Scott was
Called and Btatod that all tho tribes
undor his parol have leased por'tiooa
of their reservations. The prosont
policy ofleasingho considered tho

To the EdUott of the Indian Chief-
tain: Dear Sin!
Thero can be no queatlon in my
opinion about tho necessity of dis-
cussing certain important public
subjects without dolay. Events In
our country aro moving rapidly.
So thoy are everywhoro else but
we have been in tho condition of
tho80 who look for tho current to
arrivo beforo wo move and get out
of tho way. Tho curront has come
and now threatens an overflow.
Thero ia butlittlo time to propare
for safety or for rescue. No timo
should I o loot.
What shall bo done? That is tho
quection. Who is empowcrod to
mako a reply? Nobody but tho
people. Thoy aro tho ones who
must decide and after the decis-
ion is made they must instruct
their roproscntatlvcB what tholr
decision ia.
But beforo tho propor and noo-
CBsary policy is fixed upon by tho
people thoy must agreo upon ono
important and essential thing
namoly: that soma definite and
established policy is necessary.
ThoymuiOe satisOed and agreo
among tbeouoivoi that something
pcrhr.ps several tilings havo gone
wrong and noed to be put right
They must be convinced that tho
country is in danger more or
loa and that tho danger can bo
and ;nuat bo avoided and can only
be avoided by thoinselv.es.
In consideration of what I havo
romarked I now venluroto write
to tho Cuieftain to ask whethor
a frank and frco discussion of any
and all public rubjects rill not bo
agreoablo to its readers. If bo
though I do not by any means pie-
tend to bo OTieot in my notions of
iLSny public matters yet still it
will be conceded that thero is but
ono way to arrivo at correct notions
nnd that ia by discussing tho mat
ters and Cms give an opportuni-
ty to those whose views are correct
to put thoso viows before tho pub-
lic. Such is now my wish and inten-
tions. There are but two vehicles
of public sentiment iu'our Nation
tho CniEKTAin and the Advocate.
By no other means than through
thc-BO instrumentalities can the
truo situation of their affairs bo
laid before tho Cherokee people
and their viows and opinions be
brought to agreo upon some set-
tled policy. The main questions
aro those which are connected
with our lands of courso; the ques-
tion of citizenship allotment.- and
the liko. Tho discussion of theao
questiona iu somo of thoir aspects
has bcon long tabooed. Tha point
iB shall itconiinuo to bo?
Vory truly and respectfully
C. B. Blood.
Tho BUggostion of our corres-
pondent is an oxcollenl one nnd
not only meets tho approval of the
CuiErrAix.but will we feel certain
bo endorsed by its readers. Our
columns are always at the dispos-
al of correspondents desiring to
discuss living issues in a dispas-
Biona.to manner. The timo for
action has certainly arrived and
the sooner tho practice of keeping
qulot for policy's sako ia aban-
doned the hotter it will be for
all partios. Thoso questions and
JR8U03 must be mot sometime and
tho present seems most propitiouB.

Tho following associated press
dieput.hct) from Caldwall give the
most reliable information to be ob
tained TCKardUiK the invasion of
this Territory:
January 6. Thursday troops
will leave here for the Boomers'
camp on Stillwater whore Capt.
uoucu'b colony oi tnree nuuureu
men are located. Gen. Hatch
says be will havo two Hotchkiss
guns and skilled men to. work
them. He does not intend to loso
a man in a abort range fight but
will retire and open on the boom-
era' campr with these long range
guna. lie dose not desire a fight
but his ordors aro iron-clad' and
specific and will be executed to
tho letter. Hope's colony will
resist when called on to sur-
render but if thoy do not leave
peaeoftbly there will be trouble.
A . colonist direct from Couch's
camps yesterday called on th e
SresB ngunt for a scope of General
'atoll's orders and his intentions-
in tho matter. From him it was
learned that they obey Capt.
Couch'e orders implicitly and will
rosiBt tho soldiers when he gives
tho word. They aro all well arm-
ed aud proparod for fight. Thoy
say they will not ho removed ox-
copl by superior numbers and
forco. Thoy throaton if removed
to burn ovory ranch out in Oklaho-
ma and on tho Cherokee strip.

from Texas are tromendous. Sov-
oral.coal trains go south overy
day and thcnalion and individual
owners reap a rich royalty. Many
of the old citizens aro wondering
why thoy did not accuro ooal claims
a year or moro ago. You cau fre
quently hear "if my foro sight had
been as good as my hind sight I
miiht bo getting rich now as nomo
of these othor fellows." Our ob-
eervatlon is that those "hind sight"
men never amount to much. If
people expect to succeed in this
world they must Keop thoir oyoa

Oup. citizen E. C. Boudinot
f-ooms to bo at "ilood uuo ' in
Washington mpocially with the
Globo - Domoorat correspondent.
Following is a special dispatch
which appeared in last Tuesday's
papor:
TKe frionds of Col. E. 0. Boudi-
not the Chorokeo. ore moving qui-
etly to secure for nitn the appoint-
ment of oommissionor of Indian
atiairs under the new administra
tion. Among nis warmest sup
porters aro numbered benators
Vorhcea Beok und Lamar. The
Missouri delegation Senators and
Renreaeulatives. are exuected to
be for him solidly on tho ground
inai ii apjpoinwu ai. ijouis anu
Kansas City will obtain recognition
that they do not now got as suitable
markets for purchase of supplies.
In support of tho argument that a
man with Indian blood and tioa ia
peculiarly fitted for this position
the friends of Col. Boudinot recall
tho serviced of Commissioner Par-
ker who 'was of the Cattaraugus
Tribe aud a nephew of tho old
Chi of Red Jacket. It is borne in
mine of course that Col. Boudi-
not's appointment will bo violently
opposed by nn element in tho Ter
ritory but it ia urged that thoso who
object to oun have been the la-
voritos of tho republican adminis-
trations and will no be entitled to
any special consideration from
democrats.

Editor Marsh Murdock of tho
Wichita E&glo at one timo a atato
senator tells something about tho
names of tho western counties in
Kansas In the following article
During the winter ot 1872 tho
Kansas house passed a bill tann-
ine the boundarice and nomine; all
the counties In the western half of
tho state. In the houso the wimo
spirit of buncombe provailod ol-
ludo'd to above Thoy nnmed thir-
ty or forty counties aftor living
Kansas tatcsmen(7). Tberoworo
Plumb Haskell Ingalls Siotlor
Martin Anthony Murdock and
we don't know how many others.
When tho bill reached the Benato
the writer of this protested ngainit
such moxcusablo anu vainglorious
foolishness suggesting that bait
of the men for whom tho counties
were named might lnnd In tho
penitentiary. The suggestion took
and Senator Snoddy. if we remem-
ber rightly moved that tho whole
matter bo.reforred to a special com-
mittoo consisting of throe senators
who represented the territory
named with tho writer as chair-
man tho other two rncmbor3 be-
ing Senator Edwards of Ellis and
Sonator Barkor of Jewell. Tho
co unties were naraod for Indian
tribes and soldiers in tho mam.
What ia now Finney county was
namod for tho man who invented
tho Cherokeo alphabet a learned
Indian whom senator Edwards
had known. He had spent most
of his lii'o in tho territory of which
Kansas was formod and it was a
fool move the wipmjj out of Se-
quoyah and substituting Finney.
The lant county named was tho
one falling in the extreme south-
west corner of the Btate which
was among tho counties left for
the writer to name. Wo called it
"Kaw" for the tribe of Indiana
formerly located in Morris comity
and forwhich tribe the stato wau
named. Tho clerk of tho commit-
tee got it "Kansas."
Wo hop" tho coming legislature
will restore "Sequoyah" and tho
names and boundaries of Clark
Mead Comanohe und all tho bal-
ance and wipe out "St. John."
