1m Appealed to the usual and pro
vailing reply to this Inquiry is and
will bo iho polcmn promises or

tho contracting parties tho United
States and tho Cherokee nation.
In theso obligations thus entered
Into faith necessarily reposes ho-
ciuso tiicre ia nothing cluo to do-
pend on. This is on acknowledg-
ment of weakness and inability to
onforoo complianco with obliga-
tions entered into with a superior
power. There- certainly is much
merit in unsuspecting confidence
ns it is evidence of innocenco and
honesty of purpura in him who is
Mitieficcl with such surety but it
is equally certain that his faith
has encountered but.littlo experi-
ence in general affairs. Implicit
confldenco can only exist where
ennfidenco has never been bolray-
pel whether by reason of obliga-
tions between persons or between
governments as great as that of tho
United Statos or as small ns that
of tho Cherokee nation and is at
best in such a parallel n ono-sided
affair. No sano person can bclievo
for a moment that tho United
Htntcs depends upon faith for tho
fulfillment of tronty obligations by
tho Chorokecs. Thcro is some-
thing moro effective than faith and
which the Chcrokoe nation has not
upon which that government de-
pends and that is its power to
compel complianco with obliga-
tionswhothcr real or constructive.
With us it is widoly different and
wo are reduced to tho necessity of
depending upon faithaloncwhcth
cr wo aro satisfied wih it or not.
Tho condition is a helpless ono
indeed when tho breath of a fow
mombcrs of tho United States con-
cress may blow out of existence
every right tho government they
represent has pledged to us.
Moro in law than in faith is there
protection for the Indian. The
law sottlcs all grievances and war
llioso tho law cannot. Neither in
m. nor in war is our defense or
y. 11 is in mc 'liicxurauiu
of the law. To tako our
rty and to deny us a rccourso
nt law is tho exercise of arbitrary
nowor that every sentiment of
right honesty and Christian civ
ilization condemns.
"INQUIRBR'B" INQTJUIY AN
SWEIiED.
Published in last week's Chief.
tain is an inquiry of a correspond.
cnt ot Romo Ind. Tcr. who wish.
cs to know "11 tins is not tno year
for the payment of grass money to
the Cherokee?." Tho law provid
ing for tho former Jcaso of our
crazing lands to tho Cherokeo
Strip Livo Stock association re
quired the treasurer to retain the
semi-annual payments for tho lease
in tho treasury until thoy amount-
ed to 8300000 and to pay the Bamo
per capita under directions of the
national council. As remembered
this was done at the expiration of
tho first threo years of tho lease.
Tho rcqaircment of tho law could
not bo carried out for tho second
time in fivo years as threo years was
tho specified limit for tho pay-
ment of tho lease money per
capita to tho pcoplo. Threo into
fivo can't go twice "Inquirer"
kcciiib to tiiink that the law is con-
tinuous and includes tho first semi-
annual payment on tho present
leaso which would reach the re-
quired amount of 8300000. Tho
two laws aro separate and distinct
and have no connection as to the
times when payment por capita
fhall bo made. Tho late leaso act
ontalns a provision somewhat
similar to tho old with this dif-
ference that tho rental shall ho
paid out por capita as tho council
may -direct. This being a later
act necessarily takes preccdonco
ver tho old with a requirement
yr-t to bo fulfilled.
Even had tho first provision for
r per capita payment of tho rental
been so worded on to include
klinilar rentals accruing Jrom other
leases asubiicquont act of tho coun-
cil could have ropoalod tho provib-
ion and diverted Iho proceeds to
other purposos which was done.

by the scerotary with a report of
litis transaction.
. Al a meeting of delegates ap-
pointed by tho district captains of
tho Downing party wost of
Grand Jrivcr hold at Landrum's
spring on May 23 1880 for tho
purpose of deciding tho manner
timo and plaeo of making nomi-
nations for tho goncral election in
AugitBt.it was agrcod that nomina-
tions shouhlbo mado by delegates
appointed in primary conventions
of tho various precincts to bo
held on Saturday tho 1st day of
Juno 1889; and that tho general
convention bo held at Afton I. T.
on tho 8th of Juno. It wns further
stipulated in this agreement that
ono delegate should bo allowed
from cncli precinct for ovcry
twenty-fivo votes and each frac-
tional nart. polled in tho election
of 1887. It was also agreed that
each and ovorv uelctratoonpointou
to attend tho genoral convention
should nrcscnt a written certificate
of election from tho chairman of
tho primary convention of tho pre-
cinct ho represents and that tho
certificate beat tho date agreed up
on bv tho convention oi May isJ.
- - . .nn n.t r -i
uno 181 joou. umcrwisc u
shall bo null and void and the
bearer of the certificate excludod
from tho eeneral convention.
Pursuiant to this ogrocment tho
primaries wcro held as agreed
unon at all tho precincts on tho
1st day of 'Juno and certificates
woro issued to tho regularly ap-
pointed delegates.
It is a well known factth.it there
aro two factions contending for tho
nomination by tho Downing party.
Being authorized only to make n
fair and impartial report of this
day's transaction to tho people it
would bo out of our provlnco to
say which was right or wrong or
which party acted moro fairly and
honorably in securing their nomi-
nations. It will bo left to tho peo-
ple to decido in the next election.
As they aro abundantly capable of
discriminating between fair and
honest dealing and flagaant im-
position they will probably ren-
der an honest decision.
From information obtained from
various sources there was somo
misunderstanding in tho primary
held at Vinita precinct. Ono sido
claimed they could not get all
their voters to enter a convention
of drunken negroes where fair-
ness was unheard of and conse-
quently withdraw to n inoro quiet
placo and held another convention
taking tho name of every citizen
narlicinatine in tho convention.
As a natural result thoro were- two
f-cta of delegates npnoinod from
Vinita precinct with certificates of
saino day and dule. As a matter
of cours'e Vinita precinct was
open to contest and according to
ovcry principle of justice nnd
equity every moral obligation of
man to man" to tho spirit of oUr
constitution rand according to ov
cry preeppt and principle of
Christianity this precinct should
havo had tuo consideration of tho
convention. Roth being held on
tho same day and all certificates
being tho same date it should havo
been left to the convention to de-
cide which delegation was cntitlod
to vote. If this had been all tho
unfairness enacted in this meeting
thcro might bo something said in
extenuation of such a proceeding.
As agreed all the primaries were
to bo hold on tho simo day Juno
1st and no ono to be admitted to
tho general convention who was
not appointed on that day. Now
comes tho "crowning climax of in-
famy." On Wednesday June 5th
a meeting consisting of about half
a dozen negroes assembled at uus
Bufiington's blacksmith shop and
appointed Johnson Fallen Gus
Buflington Crap Lynch and two
other niggers tot attend tho general
convention at A'fton on June 8th
and challenge the Kctchum precinct
ileUgalionl Wo leave this to tho
voice of tho peoplo to decide if it
is right. If wo intended to fulfill
tho iormcr agreement this colored
delegation should have been ex-
cluded without any ceremony.
But they were allowed to vote just
the same as tho legally appointed
representatives and when a motion
was made to appoint three mem-
bers from each faction as a com-
mittco on credentials it was
promptly voted down with tho as-
sistance of tho colored delegation
from Gus Buffington'R blacksmith
shop. It isn't very difficult to pre-
dict tho consequences resulting
from such a high handed and
shameless action on tho part of n
political fuction in their idiotic and
selfish greed for office. When a
party rcpudiatos every pledge it
has mado nnd sneaks out and holds
a midnight convention for tho pur-
pose of defeating tho will of tho
peoplo after ovary fair and honor-
abla means havo failed to effect n
reconciliation and not n single
part of the former agreement com-
plied with it is time for action on
tho part of tho people's represen-
tatives in seeing to it that thoy nro
not cheated out of their political
rights and privileges. In view of
all theso disparaging facts each
faction concluded to mako its own
nominations and lut the peoplo de-
cide which acted tho paitof men.
It is not necessary to close this
report with a series of "whereases"
and "resolves" on tho fundamental
principles of government; wo sup-
pose the platform of tho Downing
party will ho nll-sufiicicnt to rover
every personal and political inter-
cbtof the majority.

CITIZEN RIGHTS.
Tho following letter addressed
by Acting Commissioner Belt to
Will J. Mcicdith Esq. shows a
full recognition of tho rights of the
Cherokeo authorities to determine
claims to Chorokee citizenship by
the new administiation.
There aro many claimants to
citizenship rights now resident in
this nation nnd many perhaps who
claim such rigiit and .intend to
move in and go to making im-
provements who may be benefitted
by taking warning:
Urarlioeut of ih Interior 1

Waihlnrton l.f Wajfl.lMa. )
Win. J. Mkukditu Kecj. Lynn-
villo Iowa. Sir: I am in receipt
by referonco through tho Depart-
ment of tho Interior of your letter
of March .'10 18S9 to tho Presi-
dent stating that you aro a part
Cherokee Indian by blood and ask-
ing whether you nra entitled to
share in tho lands of that nation.
In reply I havo to say that in
the case of tho Eastern Cncrokees
etc. (117 U.S. 311) tho Supreme
court of tho United States held
that "if Indians of that stato( North
Carolina) or in any other state cast
of tho Mishiosippi wish to enjoy
tho benefits of tho common prop-
erty of tho Chorokco Nation m
whatover form it may exist tlioy
must as held by tho court of
claims comply with tho constitu-
tion nnd laws of tho Cherokeo Na-
tion and bo admitted to citizenship
as thoro provided."
You must therefore submit your
claim to the proper Chorokco au-
thonties.and be by them admitted
to citizenship in that nation boforo
you will be untitled to any of the
benefits of the common property
thereof.
By communicating with Hon. J.
B. Mayes Principal Chief of the
Cherokeo Nation Tahlcquah In-
dian Territory you will doubtless
rcccivo further information on the
subject.
In connection with this question
you aro advised that should you
enter tho Cherokee Nation or at-
tempt to mako improvements on
tho public domain thereof prior
to your admission ae a citizen you
will do so at your own risk and
upon complaint bo liable to re-
moval therefrom as mi intruder.

Mr. J. B. Grindstend flenora
Ky. says: My children havo
sometimes had boils and other
signs of blood impurities witli loss
of appetite etc. at which times I
have found Swift's Specific a most
successful remedy; in no instance
failing to effect a most spcody and
permanent cure.
"Swift's Specific is a great bless-
ing to humanity" savs Mr. P. 15.
Gordon; of 725 Broau street Nash-
villo Toiin. "for it cured ino of
rheumatism of a very bad typo
with which I had been troubled
for three or four years. 8. S. S.
cured mo aftor I had exhausted
everything else.
Mr. Russell Myrick of tho firm
of Myrick & Henderson Fort
Smith Ark. says ho wishes to add
his testimony to tho thousands
which havo already been given as
to Swift's Specific. Ho says ho
derived the most signal benefit
from its uso to euro painful boils
and sores resulting from impuro
blood
When taken for a fow ilays pot-
ash mixtures impair tho digestion
tako away tho anpolllo and dry
up tho gastric juices which should
assist in digesting and assimilat-
ing tho food. Swift's Specific has
just tho opposito effect; it improvci
digestion brings nppettiv ami
I builds up tho general health.
