CANNOT SELL IT
Four
Million Dollar Claim
Cannot be Sold.
The four million dollar claim so
called consists of four items three
of which belong to the Cherokee
nation; the fourth which consists
of $11C0000 with interest for
sixty-two years at five percent J
and which ' constitutes the bulk of
tie claim belongs to the Chero-
kees who resided east of the Mis-
sissippi river in 1835 and their
descendants. These people em-
brace several thousaud persons in
North Carolina (who are prosecut-
ing their end of this claim in
Washington at this time through
R. V. Pelt and others) as well as
many thousand so-called emigrant
Cherokees residing in the Chero-
kee country west.
The Cherokee national council
prior to the organization of the
eastern Cherokee or emigrants so-
called would have been justified
as next friend in acting for the
emigrant Cherokees but after the
organization of the eastern or emi-
grant Cherokees the Cherokee na-
tion cannot with propriety in any
way interfere or do anything else
than lend its friendly eupport to
the organization of these people
for the collection of the money due
them
The idea of the Cherokee na-
tional council selling the claim for
-eighty or eighty-five cents on the
dollar is manifestly absurd. First
because the statutes of the United
States as has been repeatedly
shown make void and thug forbid
any transfer or assignment or sale
of a claim against the United
'States. This statute was passed
to prevent conspiracy against the
federal treasury and is based on
sound reason and is controlling
upon the president of the United
States the executive department
and upon the congress of the Unit-
ed States until repealed. It
seems hardly necessary to 6ay that
th Cherokee council cannot re
peal a federal statute.
Second if this statute did not
forbid the sale the Cherokee na-
tional council would have no more
right to sell a claim belonging to
the eastern or emigrant Cherokees
than it would have to fell a claim
against the United State owned
by the old settler Cherokees or
owned by the Delaware citizens of
the Cherokee Dation or a claim
owned by the Kreedmen citizens of
the Cherokee nation or a claim
owned by the Creeks against the
United States.
It is the plain duty of the Cher-
okee national council if it doe?
anything in the matter to hold up
the hands of the eaptern Chero-
kees who have already made
most substantial progress toward
the collection cf the money due
them. In all human r ratability

M K & T Reduces Bates in Indian
Territory
Ever since the construction of the
M. K. & T. Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be
tween stations in the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis of live cents
a mile. The customary rate of pas
senger fares on railroads except in
sparsely settled country is three
cents a mile. The population of the
indlan Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been a large increase of
passenger traftlc on this account and
the Katy officials recognizing the
wants of the people and the justice of
so doing have voluntarily arranged
to reduce the local passenger rate to
a basis of three cents a mile. This
reduction will take effect about Nov
ember first. There will be great re
joicing among the residents along
the line of the M K. & T.

garmente and bedding are wadded
with cotton. Once a year they must
be ripped apart and waehed padding
and all.
How needful is economy may be
judged from a few figures. Unskilled
laborers receive upon an average
seven cents a day. Masons carpen-
ters nndi stone-cutters here as else-
where the aristocracy of labor get
from 25 to 30 oenta a day. Work be-
gins at sunrise and keeps up until
dark. Strikes are virtually unknown
and the Chinese laborer is the hap-
piest njid most contented in all the
world.

A rich Chinaman wears eilks
poor one cotton. Since the proportion
of rich to poor is about one to a thou
sand it follows that the growth and
miinufaoture of cotton are of prime
neceswty It ia thought cotton cul-
ture was begun in the thirteenth cen
tury the plant coming from India
where it has been known for 2000
years. In upit-e of her unequaled ag
riculture China does not raitie cot
ton for export nor in fact enough
for hT own needs. In the growth and
manufacture of it aa in everything
eke the aim is not aa in the United
Ktates to siive hand labor but to use
aa much of it aa possible. There are
ho power gina for taking out the
aeed. Instead the Chinese use lit
tle hand gins very like those atill
to be fou.d in the homespun regiona
of the Appalachian chain. The gin
ia nothing more than a couple of
small wooden rollers made faftt in up-
right affixed to a bench. They are
turned by a wooden crank revolve
oue agdirvrt the other and free the
cotton of wed by drawing the lint
through the narrow pace between.
