If congress really desires to
open tho Strip to settlement this
spring thoy can do so by ratifying
tho Strip agreement in its intiroty
as reported by tho Chcrokco com-
mission. Them? is said to bo a good pros-
pect of tho passago of tho "omni
bus" bill for tho admission of New
Mexico Utah Arizona and Okla-
homa at an early day probably
during tho present congrofs.
The scnato bill to admit tho
territories of Oklahoma Utah

to bo shelved for tho present at
least. A motion to tako up tho
bill was lost Monday by a voto of
30 to 14.

torn and thoir porters running into

There is very littlo rejoicing
amongst tho intruders at tho pros-
pect of being paid for improve-
ments mado hero. Tho very best
tho senate proposes to do in the
matter is to pay actual appraised
value of tho improvements oi those
who came hero prior to August 11
1880.

Judgo Parker grants a writ of ha-
beas corpus but it is not likely
that he will take any action in the
matter.
A mass convention of tho citi-
zens of this nation convened at
Tnhlcquah last week and elected
thrco individuals to go to Wash-
ington and assist tho delegation
already thcro. E. C. Boudinot
Geo. W. Bengo and Bed Bird were
selected and departed at onco for
tho capital.
The prospects now nro that tho
Strip bill will not come up until
somo time next week as there aro
several appropriation bills in tho
house claiming tho right of way
over any other business. This
bill will have to go beforo the com-
tnittco of tho whole houso beforo
it can bo referred to tho confer
enco committee.
If aix who are in favor of free
speech in tho Cherokee nation
were to stand up the motly crowd
left sitting would bo eo small thoy
could not bo seen with a micro-
scope. Yet there aro a few per-
sons in Vinita "built that way"
and whon they suppress the paper
thoy aro after now and one more
they may count two.
A great many peoplo are talk-
ing loudly about tho danger of a
steal in case tho Strip money is
paid into tho treasury oi this na-
tion. Somo peoplo haven't yet
got over tho nuperetition that tho
people aro to bo heard or regarded
in tliis matter. But ono thing is
very apparent: congress cares very
littlo what becomes of tho money
when tho Strip is scttlod for.
The KaneaB City Pittsburg and
Gulf road has purchased tho Split-
log and proposes filling in tho gap
necessary to give a direct lino from
Kansas City to tho Gulf of Mexico
via Ft. Smith and Texarkana.
This will bo joyful news to a num-
ber of towns that havo built groat
hopes and met repeated disop-
pointments on the construction of
a road from Kansas City to Sabine
Pass on tho Gulf. .
Accoitui.va to the expressed sen-
timents of a very largo majority of
tho citizens of tho Cherokco na-
tion tho clausu in tho Strip agree-
rjnont nllowlng soventy persons
tho privilege of taking eighty
acres of first choice land out thors
and tho oxclusion of all others
from bo doing is a pieco of out-
rageous class legislation Tho
offense he-trover is cbargublo
xlouo to our own representatives.
It Is now Apparent (hat congress
Will not wterfero in any way with
Hut prt of Wm agreenipnt hs it
conoottM m e but our own peof
JDBT WHBRBWB STAND.
Tho question oi tho final dispo-
sition of tho Strip is still agitating
tho peoplo of this notion. All
other subjects sink into insignlf-
icanco in comparison with it. Tho
unusual activity of congress in ro-
lation to Indian Torrilory mat-
ters has at last awakened tho
leaders in this nation to a realiza-
tion of tho situation in its most
serious aspect. It is"gencrally be
lieved hero that congress will open
tho outlet to whito settlement at
an early day with or without our
consent. And notwithstanding tlio
outrageous injustico to tho Cher-
okecs it is conceded by many that
thoso intruders who camo in
prior to August 11 1880 will havo
to bo paid out of Chcrokco funds.
Tho situation is a vory gravo ono
tor tho (Jlierokco nation: all our
present and futuro prosperity is
involved in this great transaction.
Tho troublo docs not end with tho
salo of tho Strip; congress has sig-
nified an intention of insisting
upon tho abandonment of tho tri-
bal relations of tho fivo civilized
tribes and tlio taking of land in
severalty and becoming citizens
of tho United States. While all
this is going on in congress thcro
is n quiet but suro revolution of
opinion at least going on at
homo Men who a few months
ago scouted tho idea of allotment
and statehood aro now heartily in
favor of both. With many it is by
no means a prcferenco but forco of
circumstances have mado it an ex-
igency. All thoso who havo any
regard for tho property rights of
tho full-blood acknowledge the
necessity of individualizing the
titlo to tho land and otherwiso se-
curing him in his inherent rights.
Recent transactions with tho gov-
ernment havo made it necessary
for it to know more of our real
status as a "nation." Tho mag-
nitude of tho Strip transaction lias
mado it imperativo on tho part of
tho government to look into the
matter more closely and investi-
gate more thoroughly our claims
to independent self-government.
Eight and one-half millions of dol-
lars was a largo sum of money to
appropriate for any purpose and
to bo expended at onco to pay for
Indian land necessarily led to a
thorough investigation of our stat-
us as a peoplo. It is needless to
add further in this connection that
tho rrticenco or stubbornness of
many of our public officials and
indeed their open hostility to any
and all overtures of tlio govern-
ment has hurt our cause if not
cost us our nationality. And tho
people are not wholly blameless
because the' havo allowed them-
selves to bo lulled to rest by tho
declarations of the politicians that
wo were in no immediate danger.
Tho United States government has
nevor regarded us as a soparate
and independent nation; wo have
never been anything but wards of
the government and wo never will
be anything elso until wo become
United States citizens. Nothing
can place us in a moro ridiculous
light beforo tho United States than
the assumption that wc are an in-
dependent power and entitled to
bo treated as such
THE STRIP'MONBT.
If tho Strip money is paid over
promptly all in a lump as per
agreement what will tho Chcr-
okco nation do with it? might be
asked vory appropriately at this
time. Somo peoplo seem to think
that it would certainly bo paid out
to the peoplo per capita but just
what part of tho agreement thoy
baso their belief upon does not
appear. Tho agreement itself
provides that the money coming
from a salo of the Stiip lands shall
be paid "to tho Chorokeo nation
at such timo and in bucIi manner
as tho Chorokeo national council
shall determine." Now let's see;
is thoro anything in that to givo
any assuranco to the people that
thoy aro to gut any of tho Strip
money7 This money if it is ever
paid into our treasury is placed
ontiroly out of tho way of "tho
peoplo." Thoir cagor fingers can
nevor touch a dollar of it unloss
the nation says so. Now then
who is this national council? Some
of them are unliko Ccasur's wife
auove suspicion mil ot lato years
a great deal has beou said about
buying councillors inducing them
to voto for certuin measures for a
monoy consideration; indeed it is
an open secret that buying has
been dono. Chief Mayes was at
ono timo offered fifty thousand
dollars to "go in with the boys"
and lease tho Strip for ono hun-
dred and twenty'fivo thousand dol-
lnrs per annum which ho refused
and thereby immortalized himself
with his peoplo and justly too
and it tt ill bo remembered that a
certain ex senator from Delaware
4iBtrict took prominent part in
tho attempt to rob the peoplo of
875000 per year. But wo need nut
go back so far to show wbrt can
and has bcon dono. If reports bp
truo a senator from Cootvcesonotyeo
was induced for a money consider-
Bliim to voto for Hastings for dol-
egatq to Washington. But that it
U common to "amirMcli" wtai
hers of both tho sennto and coun-
cil and oven tho chief himself
needs no further demonstration;
everybody knows that it is so.
Now what aro "tho pooplo" going
to do about it? Thoy havojalready.
placed it out oi their own reach
turned it over to tho council and
when "tho peoplo" talk about ask-
ing congross to pay it out direct to
thoso entitled to sharo it tho samo
crowd that wanted to leaso tho
Strip for 8125000 n yoar in tho
facoofan offer of $200000 jump
up and say it 1b an insult to tho
Cherokee nation to talk that way
and dcclaro that thoso who advo-
cato such a courso aro traitors.
WARNING TO THE OltHEKS.
Gen. Ploasant Porter and A. P.
McKcllop tho Creok delegates in
Washington havo written a loiter
homo to their peoplo that consid
cring tho prominenco and infiuenro
of tho writer is most rcmarkablo
and significant. Thoy frankly in-
form tho Crcoks that tho breaking
up of tribal relations taking land
in soveralty and tho opening oi
tho tvholo Indian Territory is in-
ovitablo. Thoy warn tho Creoks
to gdt ready for tho changes. Thoy
say "It is now held by thoso mem-
bers of congress who have had
moro or less to do with Indian
matters that all tho Indians with-
in the confines of the United States
must bo mado citizens of the
United States and that they must
chango their modo of land tenuro
from that of tribal ownership."
Tlio letter then states from recent
reports of committees and from
speeches mado in congress this
winter to tho effect that tho In-
dians must tako their land in sev-
eralty and becomo citizens. "Tho
present policy of tho United States
is clearly set forth; tho advocates
of that policy do not deny any
right guaranteed to us by treaty.
They say that tho policy of the
govcrnmentin tho removal of the
Indians west of tho Mississippi
where their tribal government
could bo perpetuated and where
they could work out their own
civilization under their own laws
customs and usages was ono of
wisdom and foresight and that
under its benign influences tho In-
dians havo accomplished all that
was hoped for or intended and
that now thoy aro transformed into
industrial civilized and self-maintaining
communities; that they
have evolved systems of govern-
ments and laws similar to thoso of
the states of tho Union. They do
not deny any of our rights under
treaty but say that thoy will go to
tho peoplo themselves and confer
with them and urge upon them tho
necessity of a chango in their pres-
ent condition and upon their re-
fusal will force a chango upon
them."
V THE SUIT RENEWED.
Tho Cherokee Strip Livo Stock
association by its attornoys has
filed an amended petition in
its suit to recover $1917 upon a
promisory note from Hall Bros.
of Kansas City and Pryor Bros.
ranchmen given in payment for
tho semi-annual rent of 07000
acres in tho Strip. It differs only
from the original petition in that
it consists of two counts instead of
ono. Tho first bases the right to
recover on the promisory note it-
self and tho second upon the un-
paid rent of the defendants on the
pasturage
Tho suit in which tho amended
petition is filed is of some import-
ance as it involves the titlo to the
Strip. Tho case is a test one and
upon its success depends the bring-
ing of others involving over 8200-
000. In 1885 tho Live Stock as-
sociation contracted its leasq from
tho Cherokee nation and held tho
tract to sublet by parcels to its
own members. Among thoso who
leased from tho association woro
tho parties abovo mentioned. The
rental was paid by notes issued in
advance for tbo tvholo term and
maturing every six months. As
fast as thoy camo duo thoy were
sent to tho bank and collected.
Default was mado in ono and tho
present suit wm for tho purpose of
enforcing tho collection.
A BLOW AT OUIt COURTS.
Removal of
Butts Frcm
Indian
rV
Courts.
Congressman Mansur from tho
committee on territories on Jan.
80 submitted a report on the bill
for tho removal of 6uita from
tho Indian courts. Quoting that
portion of the act of 1800 provid-
ing for Indians becoming citizens
of tho United States the report
says:
This proposal to tho Indians of
tho five civilized tribes to become
citizens of the United States was a
departure in policy upon tho part
of tho United States It was dono
deliberately and as an inducement
to thu better class and bettor ed-
ucated Indians to becomo American
citizens with all tho hopes inspi-
rations and privileges belonging to
that proud position; also with tho
belief that thoso assuming Amer-
ican citizenship would bo a loavon
for political sentiment within tho
tribes and a nucleus around which
might rally all thp influences with-
in the Indian Territory (hat sr
"tiently look forward to the day of
statehood for that region; aho to
rcmovo all fears of oppression wo
declaro with all tho solemnity of
law that thoso Indians who becomo
citizens of tho Unitod Stato ''shall
not forfeit or loso any rights or
privileges thoy onjoy or aro on-
titled to as members of tho tribo
or nation to which thoy belong."
So far as your committco aro en-
abled to guoen lather than judgo
from uncortain information prob-
ably a hundred Indiana havo avail-
cd themselves of tho privilego of
said section 43 and becomo Amer-
ican citizens only ns your com-
mittco aro forcod to bclievo to
draw upon themselves tho indig-
nation contempt and hatred ol
their fellow Indians.
Tho entire Indian policy of Con-
gress in latter years has been
changod and overturned. Sinco
1871 wo make no treaties with In-
dian tribes only bargains and
agreements. Sinco tho passago of
tlio Dawes allotment act of Fob.
8 1887 every influence and in-
ducement tho government could
urgo or offer has been hold out to
bring the Indians of tho United
States to an allotment and citizen-
ship for from tho report of tho
Indian commissioner for 1892 wo
find that so far under tlio Dawes
act 15482 allotments havo been
made; under special act 4510 and
1212 mado to Indians outsido of
Indian reservations a total to
dato of 21274 allotments all mado
within tho past six years.
Your committco aro assured in
many ways that if this bill bo-
comes a law many hundrod In-
dians now contemplating citizen-
ship but who aro withhold from
doing so becauso of their belief
that without this law thoir prop-
erty if not their lives aro at tho
morcy of their enemies tho mo-
ment they becomo American citi-
zens will avail themselves of the
protection provided by tho chango
of venuo from tho Indian courts to
tho courts of tho United Stales
and at unco becomo American citi-
zens and aid in tho forward move-
ment to make a stato out of their
territory.
To tho hundred moro or less
who havo already becomo Amer-
ican citizens their present condi-
tion without tho relief this bill
carries with it aro in a worse con-
dition financially than beforo they
became citizens.
In tho languago of tho Indian
commissioner (seo appendix')
"Sinco it appears that parties who
have becomo citizens under tho
law abovo re'ferred to (seotion 43)
have thereby prejudiced the au-
thoritics and peoplo of llieir na-
tion against them so as to seriously
threaten an infringement of their
rights of property therein it seems
to mo incumbent upon this gov-
ernment to provido somo remedy
for them;" to which your commit-
tco add that tho honor and dignity
of this government demands a
remedy bo applied.
To ask and invito these Indians
to becomo citizens or to promise if
they do so they shall loso no right
or privilego and then after tho
invitation to citizenship is accepted
wo shall abandon them to tho
tender mercy of tho enemies they
havo mado by their acceptunco of
our invitation is poltroonery of a
character an American congress
will never bo guilty of alter their
attention has been called to their
condition.
It is an undoubted fact known
to all well informed persons upon
conditions existant in the Indian
Territory that whito men with
but a trace of Indian blood are in
the control and domination of tho
fivo civilized tribes. Parading as
Indians they make their laws and
furnish their rulers and on all oc-
casions inculcato hostility to tne
Federal union its laws and its
citizens. Instead of being proud
of their white blood and hailing
tho hour with joy when thoy may
become American citizens they
denounco American ideas and our
government as hostile to their peo-
plo and boldly procluim all legis-
lation proposed by this govern-
ment for their region looking to
their ultimate absorption as citi-
zens with statehood as tho glor-
ious end a sham and a myth and
inspired Bolely as a means to rob
them ol their land and proporty.
These sham Indians aro to-day'
tho greatest obstacle in the way of
the development and Btatohood for
the territory. By a law of con-
gress this condition ought to bo
exploded and brought to an end.
Let congress declaro by law who
an Indian is what constitutes ono
and say that when a person
male or female has less than ono-
fourth Indian blood in his or her
veins ho or eho ceases to be an
Indian and is ipso facto a white
person incapablo of holding oflico
or possessed of any tribal rights
other than to inherit his or her
sharo of tho joint property real
or otherwiso of tho nation; and tho
farce of whito Indians and whito
tribes would end and ccaso. So
long as present conditions aro per-
petuated their whito rulers to per-
petuato their own power and rulo
with attending opportunities to
accumulate wealth will bo found
arrayed in hostility to all legisla-
tion proposod or enacted by con-
gress for their region.
Tho bill deals with properly
rights alono nothing elso is with-
in its compass. -It provides simply
a chango of venuo from tho Indian
or tribal court to the naturalized
Indian who has become an Amer-
ican citizen upon his showing
under oath that he has reason to
believe and does beliovo that from
prejudice) or local influence ho can
not obtain justice in the Indian
court on account of having tnkon
the oath of alleglanoeto tho Unitod
States.
The attention of congross is
called to tho various papers pub-
lished as nn addenda to this ropoit
for tho necessary evidence to sup-
port tho bill if any is ueoded.
It will be seen that tho bill has.
tho approval of the Asxistant-allor-
ney-gcnoral lor tho department of
tho intorior. also of tho secretary
ot tho interior and that in fact the
bill was thoro prepared as tho
remedy for tho evil complained of
Your comniitfoe therpforo reo-
oinwend that the bill do pus's.

The indications aro that tho
meeting of tho cattlemen to bo
held at Claremoro noxt Monday
will bo ono of tho most largely at-
tended gatherings of tho kind over
held in tho Indian Territory. Tho
association formed a year ago will
be in a measure reorganized and
arrangements will bo mado to se-
cure additional protection against
losses in tho futuro by theft and
for tho vigorous prosecution of
cases already beforo tho "courts.
Not only aro tho owners of largo
herds interested but every farmer
who has a half dozen head ot cows
and calves about tbo placo should
unito in helping to break up tho
raids of thoso who aro living and
thriving at thoir expense. One
residing near Vinita estimates man
his losses by theft last year at
COO head and doubtless his
neighbors suffered in a proportion-
ate ratio.
7uNo tkhson owning land pat
ented to them by tho government
and not taxablo should be permit-
tod to voto or hold oflico" says
Gov. Scay of Oklahoma in his
message to tho legislature. This
of courso has reiorenco to tho In-
dians in that territory.
Gcorgo Francis Train in- tlio
Boston Goal says: "Now that
Dr. Keoloy's euro for drunkenness
has been demonstrated beyond all
roasonablo doubt thero is nothing
whatever to prevent tho adminis-
tration of his remedies to tho poor
drunkard in workhouso peniten-
tiary or prison by direction of th6
stato authorities. The sooner a
law is passed which will havo for
it aim tho elimination of this di-
sease of drunkenness from tho
body of tho unfortunato prisoner
tho better it will bo for society.
It will also bo a causo of rejoicing
to tlio taxpayer and America will
havo set an example to other na-
tions which thoy will do tvoll to
follow."
