asylum. Although long years
havo passed ninco tho institution
was founded and those who wcro
orphans then by reasons of their
ago have ceased to bo such from
tho same cause it is a dintrossing
fuct thnt-nll thoso who havo been
orphaned since cannot ho accom-
modated not even tho extremely
destitute. That grand and genor-
ous imptils that conceived tho
idea and the uoblo union of pur-
pose that mado tho institution a
reality ceased when it becamo such
and turned into selfish channels
tho resources that wcro intended to
make Burh an accommodation
possible It is a positive blushing
fact that destituto orphans havo
been denied a home at tho asylum
for want of room and tho means to
tako caro of them a burning
shamo upon tho authorities of our
government.
Tho treaty of 1SG0 sets aside as
an orphan fund fifteen percent of
all monies rising from the salo of
lands. Wo havo received for lands
west of tho Arkansas rivor 86-18-000.
Of that sum thcro should
havo been reserved $97200 for tho
education clothing and tho general
caro of tho orphans of our country
and 226800 for school purposes.
From tho strip lands in Kansas wo
havo realized as much perhaps as
wo have frni lands west of the
Arkansas rivor. It would bo a
safo assertion to say that no ono in
this nation knows what we havo
received. All tho proceeds thus
accruing have been lurnod into ono
channel and tho orphan and school
funds have been cheated out of
their shares. Such is tho fact
although our constitution says "all
acknowledged treaties shall bo the
supreme law of tho land" and tho
very authority that perverted theso
funds from their proper use havo
sworn to sustain that constitution;
such cannot be micd. Tho orphan
children can t t unprovided for
grow up in ignorance in want in
inhumane troatniont and degrada-
tion just so a disreputable popu-
larity may bo gained at tho oxpenso
of tlioir helplessness and want of
funds.
OONSTITUTIONAIi LAW.
Tliero is no country in the world
in which constitutional luw is moro
discussed than in the Cherokee na-
tion; indeed there seems to bo but
littlo attention paid to any
other
kind of law. Yet after all thero
is no country in tho world where
constitutional law is treated with
such littlo respect as in the repub-
lic of tho Cherokee nation. It
seems to be of but littlo practical
moment as to what tho constitution
actually says; as a guide of action
in tho administration of our pub-
lic affairs it is well nigh a dead
lottor. It is generally looknd upon
however as possessing a kind of
inapproachable sacrcdnoss and it
is made to operato like a house of
refuge. All that an oflicer has to
do to protect himself from tho con-
sequences of mal-practicc is simply
to lleo to the constitution and by
stretching the constitutional blank-
et a little he covers himself and is
sacredly safe.
Our government is divided into
three departments tho Executive
Legislative and tho Judicial. This
division is not arbitrary but is
foundod on rational principles.
What is a tyrant A man who
claims tho power to make to inter-
prel and enforce tho laws by which
his fellow citizens are govorncd.
Anyono can see that it would bo a
dangerous thing for these throo at-
tributes to bo combined in the somo
man or in the same sot of mon. It
is not safo for tho Exocutivo to cx-
or iso nny of the functions of tho Ju-
dicial. It is oqunlly porilous for
tho Lcgielntivo to hnvo anything
to do with either tho Judicial or
tho Executive functions. Yet what
ore tho facts in tho caso? There is
in our country a continual confliot
and war between those depart
ments especially between tho Ex-
ecutive and Legislative. Tho Ju-
dicial is tho only department that
lias nny respect for tho limits if
its authority; iiidood its modesty
in many instances amounts to
cowardice. Theso throo govern-
mental creatures bohavo toward
oaeh other very much liko three
cooks in a pit. Tho Judicial is
ernvon. Tho Legislative and the
Exocutivo aro still plucky with
victory oacilaling between them.
Thoy have no harmony of action
amongst them because neither of
them have very defluito ideas as to
thtf metes and hounds of its au-
thority. ;
Wo'nndjlio Legislative lyranizing
over tho Exocutivo; it was novcr
intended tba?Sbo council thoulil
uoluct tho delcgnteV. Yet they do
it in spito of tho chuSfi Again wo
find tho Legislative playing the Ju-
dicial. A divorce suit is a qhflstion

tho court; that is ho belongs to tho
Judicial branch of tho government
yet ho sits in his office issues an
executive order to tho sheriff and
without any chanco for a hearing a
poor fellow is thrown headlong out
of his own houso. This is the Ju-
dicial doing what can only bo ex
pected from tho Executive and it
is a very had picco of Exocutivo
conduct too. But worst of all sco
what tho Executivo is doing with
tho Judicial. Let a supremo judgo
or any othor kind of a judge do
anything which tho Executivo may
think is not right what is the re-
sult? Why tho chief jerks him
down from the bench and suspends
him that is hangs him up to dry
Uko a "possum" pickled. Let tho
supremo court issue an execution;
the chief assumes tho prerogative
to tell tho sheriff what property ho
shall and what property ho shall
not lovy upon or whether ho shall
obey the court and servo tho execu-
tion at all or not. In other words
tho Executivo "gets away with"
tho Judicial cock just whonovcr ho
pleases. Tho dismissal of Albion
Spoars from nn executivo clerkship
is a very littlo matter; tho whole
thing is not enough to mako a rip-
ple upon tho waters in any other
country than ours. Yot it was con-
sidered a very great and dangerous
infringment of tho constitution.
This scorns liko straining at a gnat
and swallowing a camel. Whilo it
is a notorious fact that there is no
regard paid to the constitution in
so grave 'natters as wo havo abovo
pointed out by tho Executivo es-
pecially it does seem very pid-
dling kind of business to ralso a
racket about n clerk on constitu
tional grounds.
ALLOTMENT.
From present indications it docs
socm that the allotment of lands in
sovorally is going to bo forced on
the Indians whether or no. It
scorns too that wc are going to bo
forced to it on terms not oar own;
that wo aro going to bo forced to
tako so much per hoad and then
forcod to sell tho remainder to
United States citizens at a certain
pi ice all because wo -havo moro
land than wo need they say.
That all Indians arc opposed to
allotment is not true but that all
arc opposed to allotment on a dic
tated plan by which they arc forced
tosoll that which is in every legal
and moral sense thoir own at a
price in which they havo no voico
and which is very far bolow tho
true valuation that all Indians aro
opposed to such swindling and
wickedness in high places as this"
no one will for a moment doubt.
Who would not be? "In God wo
trust" is written upon tho United
States coin but in the same "good
book" whore wo learn to trust in
God wo aro told to "Trust in the
Lord nnd do good" and it is rea-
sonable to suppose that it means to
do good cvon to tho Indians.
Wo cannot think that the moral
sentiment of the United States gov-
ernment and peoplo is so corrupt
and so dead to tho feelings and
sense of justice that a law will bo
enacted and oxecuted that will do
such gross injustice to a pooplo who
havo already submitted to repeated
acts of injustice.
Will God-fearing and humanity-
loving pooplo countcnanco such
robbery; for such it would be? If
such is done what will bocomc of
tho pledges of this groat United
States govornment plodgos sol-
emnly mado to a weifk and help
less and in many respects an ig-
norant poople? Can the grout gov-
ernment of the United States that
makes tho boast of being ono of tho
groatost governments under the
sun; groat intellectually great re
ligiously and groat in material
wealth? Can this govornmont
stoop so low as to listen to tho few
Shyloeks in and around tho Indian
reservation his last home his own
wo say can this great government
help theso robbers in their purpose
to tako that which truly belongs to
the Indian and appropriate it to
the greod of an avarice that will
nover do satisfied? " '
If allotmont must ho mado for
tho good of all concerned pray lot
the Indians do it themselves and
let them have and keop nil that is
thoir own disposing of it when
they pleaso and at whatever prico
thoy can get only in such cases
whero it is thought host to mako it
inalionablo for the protection of tho
less civilizod. 1 would hero say

of tho United States government
and tho policies of the govoinmont
and especially tho graspings of this
American peoplo after wealth aro

somo respects enemies to our
present land tcnuro system that
is all things in common. If not
now tho lime is euro to come when
this state of things will como to an
end. Tho prcssuro with oach suc-
ceeding year is bccominggrcatcr
and tho timo will como when wo
can hold out no longer. Tho timo
may bo just now upon us. Let us
look to our intorcsts and if to di-
vide our lands in sovcralty is tho
best for ourselves and for our child-
ren let us do so at onco and bo mako
sure of all that is our own if possi-
ble I say if possible for it may
bo wo havo now waited so long that
tho greed of somo of tho Anglo-Saxons
around will not allow us to keop
what is our owui.
It is certainty timo for us now to
act in somo way. I am sure that
if it wcro n matter left to tho In
dian entirely he would say lot iw
hold our domain in common as all
our fathers havo done but it is a
question not left to tho Indian
whethor ho wishes to divido what
is his own or hold it in common.
The question now comes to bo
whether tho Indians aro going to
bo allowed to hold their own.
Now tho action upon tho part of
the Indians which will bo most
likely to sccuro to them all that is
thoir own is certainly tho action
for them to tako.
If wo make no move allotment
will be forcod upon us and a part
of our domain taken; if wo allot
ourselves we stand a chanco to
hold what is our own.
Tho time has como it seems to
me that tho truo thinking and in-
formed mon of tho nation should
speak out so plaiuly and so loudly
that the less informed could bo
mado to sec what is coming upon
them and bo induced to act now
for tlioir best interest.

Indfan Territory Sin: 1 am in re-
ceipt of your communication dated
refer to tho caso of a Chorokco cit-
izen having a claim of debt against
a citizen of tho United States living
in tho Chorokco nation under a per-
mit which case thu Chorokco has
carried before tho Indian agent who
assumes jurisdiction to hear and
detcrmino tho same.
You ask if it is a proper caso to
como beforo the agent and if tho
Cherokeo courts is not thu proper
place in which to try tho case.
In Topi) I havo to state that I
know of no provisions of law or
treaty which give tho Cherokee
courts jurisdiction unless both par-
ties to the suit aro Cherokee citi-
zens by birth or adoption.
A citizen of the United States
employed by a Cherokee under the
pormit law acquires no right ex-
cept tlmt of rosidence in tho nation.
He cannot appeal to tho courts
for rudrcss and by consequence
cannot he sued in said courts.
Tho Indian agent has no author-
ity to hear and detormino such a
caso for the purposo of rendering a
judgment such as might bo ren
dered by a court 01 competent jur-
isdiction but ho may do so for tho
purpoo of ascertaining whether
tho white man is a proper porson
to remain in tho Indian country or
for tho purposo of inducing tho par-
ty in fault to mako propor settle-
ment. Very respectfully
