attention of advertitern and the pub-
lic generally is re pect fully culled to
Ihii fact.
JithikCIko. W 15knge in men-
tioned now antHhen ns n possible
candidate for chief but it is only
tnlk. The people ore not ready to
place him in the chair just yet 80
lie must wait it may bo for years
and it may be forever.
A aooo Downingite was heard to
remark not long since : "Now
that Joel cannot accept the nomi-
nation on account of his promise
to the national convention how
would it do to run him for solici-
tor of Cooweescoowee district ? It
takes a good one to fill that place
vou know."
Hon. It. M. Woi-fk is pulling a
long string for the nomination for
chief and it now looks as though
he will not pull in vain. He has
got Bushyhead out of the way by
sending him to Washington and
now stands a better chance per-
haps than any other man in the
party.

Last week Treasurer Robt. B.
Robs of Tahlequah went to St.
Louis to receive at the sub-treasury
the semi-annual payment of
une hundred thousand dollars for
the lease of the strip. It has been
determined not to keep large sums
in the national treasury at Tahle-
tiunh and in the future the grass
money (if any comes to hand) will
be kept on deposit in St. Louis
It now transpires that the com-
missioners sent out to negotiate
for the strip had other instructions
besides'those that they showed the
chief and council; in fact had in
struclions to make other offers
And because they did not make
other offers they have been censur
ed by many statesmen at Wash
ington. They will again visit the
diiTurent tribes of the Indian Ter
ritory for negotiations.
According to an act passed by
the last session of council no stu
dent under thirteen years of age
will be admitted to the seminaries;
not more than one hundred and
forty students will be admitted at
the male seminary nor more than
one hundred and sixty a't the fe
male seminary. Both pupils and
teachers in the seminaries and
colored high school will have to
pay board at the rato of two dol
lars per week.
J' rom the number of senators
named 'as possible candidates it
appears that about half of the au
gust body of senators had so distin
guished themselves during the late
council by doing nothing as to
tit themselves for tho responsible
position of chief of the Cherokee
nation. If "doing nothing" is the
brst qualification a candidate for
chief can have then it is evident
that a greater part of our present
senators would make excellent
candidates.
It was a great joke those coun-
cilors got off last December when
they introduced bills to pay out
"per capita." There was no mon-
ey to pay out and they knew it.
At the time the bills there were
two of them were introduced the
nation had only one hundred thou-
sand dollars;" and now that the
(trip association has paid the
amount due for the coming six
months there is only two hundred
thousand. Why were those bills
introduced la.t council ?
WnEJ the commissioners return
it is to be hoped that the Chero
kee nation will meet them on a
business fooling. They will come
to negotiate for the- strip not for-
tLeir health; they come not for
pleasure but business ami it is to
be hoped the nation- will meet
them with a like spirit. If the na-
tion has no lands to sell say so;
iLj not keepte commission wait-
ing forever for an answer. If it is
-.killing to part with the strip say
fo and say how much is wanted
for it. If the price asked is five
dillari per acre say so. Say
nmething; do something.
"Jordas is a hard rovi to trav-
f I" is the song Tahlequah is sing-
irgjust now. Her soul is much
vi.xed over the chiefs position in
r-vard to the jnil guards carrying
their pistols while loafing around ( jonty report of the entire commit-
t rn The citv council raised an j tee. It is said that a bill will be
t prohibiting
the carrying of j
pistols by anybody except the city
marshals which of course would
deprive the jail guards of their
weapons while on the street pro-
vided they wero not guarding con-
victs. The chief seems to think
the law an insult to the dignity of
the high Bheriff.tho Cherokee nation
or himself hence has informed
City Marshal K.tkedhtad that he
has no right to disarm guards
whether on duty or not. It seem
that tho chief is trying to clothe
himself in. too much of the "little
brief authority" and the citizens
resent his interference. Ho does
not seem to remember thut U. 8.
marshals are not allowed to carry
their arms while on the streets of
Fort Smith he does not seem to
see anything except an a (Trout
hurled by tho town at something
or Homebody.
POINTERS.
Many ask if there will be any
change in Thk Chikftain's plat-
form under the new editorial man-
agement. No. This paper has
been independent and progr essive
and will still be so. It claims the
privilege of thinking for itself and
saying what it thinks is right. It
will take open standi on all ques-
tions. Right now the Cherokee people
are entering a part of their history
when every citizen must think.
Land questions must settled. As
to the strip it must be disposed
of. "It belongs to us" is a vain
argument. True it docs belong
to us conditionally but the condi-
tions are such that the Chcro kec
people can never occupy it; and to
eny that it should be reserved for
future generations is entirely out
of the question. Sell it but drive
a good bargain. If the public
lands of Texas are worth two dol-
lars per acre then the strip ought
to be worth at least that; in' addi-
tion such changes in the treaty as
shall secure the people for many
years yet. If the United States
will not give a fair price then re-
fuse to sell but don't refuse before
it is known what bargain can bo
made.
The question of land monopoly
east of 96 degrees la alto a living
issue. In a short time all the til
lable lnd will be. taken up so
that in five more years it will be
impossible for a young man to get
a good farm without buying it
from men who havo more than
their share of the land. This pa-
per will advocate the passage of a
law that will not allow any man
to cultivate more than in justice
should belong to him and his fami-
ly. Unless this is done and the
intruder question settled satisfac-
torily there will be a general de-
mand for allotment and this paper 1
will raise its voice with the rest.
Reform has been faithfully
preached but never practiced.
It shall be the duty of this paper
to give prominence to those who
preach very loud but practice
very low.
The government is burdened
down with expenses and the
heaviest buidens begin at head
quarters; this paper will not wink
at the burden and Bay nothing.
Our legislators seem to think
that it is great fun to go to council
and make as many political
speeches as possible and to have
extra sessions but avoid much
needed legislation. The Chuck-
tain does not believe in such leg
islation or legislators and will be
heard crying like Jackson: "Turn
the rascals out."
Council grants divorcee re-ad-
adiuiti citizens gives merchants
license to trade in merchandise
and spends twenty or thirty days
of each session deciding upon the
validity of certain claims against
the nation. All this can be done
by special officers just as well and
much cheaper.
The nation has no court reports
UO laws compiled; tickets are sell
ing from 60 to 75 cen ts on the dol-
lar when they ought to be worth
ninety or ninety-five.
These and many other thine
Thb Chifftan will handle and al
ways be on the side of business
and economy. It will uphold the
man that does most for big coun-
try and condemn the man that fet-
ters its progress.
OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENCE.
Two Weeks' Letters Something
Definite Looked for Soon.
Wamiiihotox D C. Feb. t IWO.
Editor Indian Chieftan: Just
now there is a lull in the excite-
ment of Indian matters before con-
gress and such being the case
and wishing t confine myself to
such news. I fear I shall not be
able to interest your readers this
week.
The home committee on territo-
ries closed all discussions on
Springer's bill several days agi.
With the amendments submitted
by various parties acid for variuue
purposes the bill has been referred
to a sub-committee which is a ma-
jority of the whole and what they
report uiiarvinvmsly will be a ma- 1
reported tomorrow. We are j
awaiting it anxiously lo see whetli-
er or not the amendments we were
requested to submit are contained
in tho bill. If not then we must
strike out on another lino of do-
feuso.
There is somo talk that Senator
l'latt's bill to organize a tcmpora
ry government for Oklahoma is to
be amended by incorporating in it
that part of Springer's bill to pro
vide a judicial system for the In
dian Territory. Whether the
part to be taken will be from the
original or from theone to be report
ed to morrow 1 yet to be seen
but it is reasonable to suppose
that it will be from -the amended
bill.
There is restless demand from
Oklahoma for a temporary govern
mcnt and if the puhlio sentiment
as I learn is to be consulted there
is no disposition whatever on the
part of the people of Oklahoma to
have any connection judicial or
otherwise with tho Indian Terri
tory just now. They want no tag
ging on of incumbrances as will in
any manner impede legislation to
establish a government for Oklaho-
ma or that may hinder their ef-
ions 10 reacu in at condition as
soon as possible that will entitle
them to statehood. Or as gome
have it that may render uncertain
the political aspect of the oountry
As with us many of thoracis of
congress have a political advan
tage.
The governorship of Oklahoma
is already a matter of speculation as
to the person who will get it.
John I. Dille register of the land
oflice of Oklahoma seems to be
the most likely man for the place
just now. By some of the know
ing ones it is said that the presi
dent objects to an appointment
from Oklahoma and prefers as
governor someone disinterested in
Oklahoma matters living in some
one of the states.
Rev. Chas. Journeycake Jake
Bartles and Ed. Campbell are
here. They arrived recently.
The object of their coming as I
have been informed is to have de-
termined the status of the Dela-
wares as citizens of the nation or
to what rights they are entitled
hinder the compact between them
and the Cherokees. The joint
resolution of the national council
several years ago declares them
to be residents only and tho at-
tempt of the late council to pass
an act to pay out the grass money
to Cherokees by blood has just
enough significance to confirm
that condition. Their purpose as
I understand it is to havo the
question submitted to some com-
petent tribunal. This is certainly
a conclusive method and one
which is host. Whatever conclu-
sions are reached they would then
be final and as a guide for all fu-
ture legislation with reference to
tho settled rights of our citizens
there certainly could not be a re-
currence of such legislation as has
brought these gentlemen here.
WmtiKoTOH Jan 17. 180.
Editor Chieftain : The house
committe on territories will hold
its closing session this morning at
10 o'clock on tho Springer bill to
organise a temporary government
for Oklahoma and the Indian Ter-
ritory for judicial purposes. This
bill has been before the commit-
tee since the first day of my arri-
val here and the idiot and shell of
opposing argument has been pour-
ed into it from all sides beginning
with the Cherokees Creeks and
others and followed by represen-
tatives from Texas Kansas Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma. All have ob
jections to submit and amendments
to offer in the interests of their
several localities. As Mansur of
Missouri said a few days ago the
committee is well loaded and it
would be well to call a hault and
find out how they stood. An exec-
utive session will be had in a few
days in order to do this. No one
especially an outsider is warrant-
ed in saying that any general ac-
commodation between conflicting
intcretttsofall parties will be reach-
ed. Somebody is bound to be dis
appointed in the matter of courts
and jurisdiction or only partly sat-it-tied.
Many will bs wholly dis-
appointed as nearly every town in
the territory of any importance es-
pecially the lower nations wants
a court. Gainesville Texas pre-
sents its claim while it innocently
disclaims any preference between
Ardmore Iehigh or Purcell yet
it opposes the establishment of a
court at either.
Mr. Rogers f Arkansas with
bis pleasant and agreeable address
and manners was before the com-
mittee a few days ago in the in-
terest of the Fort Smith court.
He seemed willing to divide the
jurisdiction of criminal casses with
the court at Muskogee. To a joint
jurisdiction in minor criminal of-
fenses he likewise agreed as I
understood him to be determined
by the catch.
lie at a subseqnent date said
to the committee that he and !Ir.
Springer had about agreed to cer-
tain propositions which were
a!finc4 hy Mr. Springer himself.
What are the propositions the pub
lie does not yet know.
Mr. Perkins of Kansas intro
duced 011 the 18th inst. a bill to
open to homestead settlement cer-
tain portions of the Indian Territo.
rr. which has direct reference to
the Cherokee outlet. It is exceed
ingly sweeping in its measures as
it makes it the duty of tho preii
dent of the United Slates to issue
a proclamation to open the lands
to such settlement without any
reference to the rights of the
Cherokees or consent to be con
suited. The purpose is to take the
lands and then talk about it af
terwards.
The bill provides that at some
lime subsequent to the opening of
the country as I understand it the
secretary of the interior is author
ii-d to appoint a person learned
in the law to confer with a person
to be appointed by the Cherokee
nation to determine whether the
Cherokees are legally 01 equitably
entitled to any further compensa-
tion for the lands of the outlet
and. if so. how much. In case of
disagreement between the two it
becomes the duty of the president
to determine the controversy and
report all proceeding to congress
for approval. This is the sub-
stance of the bill and is left with-
out comment as to possibilities
and final results should the bill
become a law to those interested.
Two o'clock p. in. The day's
developments before the house
committee on territories are some-
what adversely interesting if I am
allowed tho expression. Mr.
Speed of the Fairchild commission
was given another hearing on his
recommendation to include the
whole Indian Territory within the
territorial limits of Oklahoma.
He made the protection of the
whites in the several nations a
necessity measure for such an or
ganization. The number of whites
as enumerated by him which is in
excess of the Indians is a severe
contradiction to such a proposition.
The whites he said should be
protected whichjjhe knows is a
sophistry too palpable to gain any
degree of credence among those
who rccognizethe fact that it is
1he Indian vhofBhould be protect
ed from the avarice of the white
man or should receive that pro-
tection guaranteed by the treaties.
He was met at every point by ad
verse argument and seemed to
havo gained nothing as far as a
presentation of facts is concerned
Miss Alice Robertson came to his
rescue with sucli arguments as
she thought would strengthen his
position.
It is said that Baker of New
York endorses the bill he intro-
duced at the request of Mr. Speed.
The only redeeming features out-
side oi any deception the bill may
imply are "that quoting the sec-
tion nothing in this act shall be
construed to alter or diminish the
rights or privileges of any Indian
nation tribe or band under any
treaty or agreement now in force
between such Indians and the gov-
ernment of the United States"
and that 'nothing in this act shall
be construed to interfere with the
local governments of any of the In-
dian tribes which maybe provided
for by the laws and treaties of the
United States or which may exist
in conformity thereto."
From what I give you in this
communication the readers of The
Ciiieftai may gather an approxi-
mate idea of the real state of Indian
matters here.
Respectfully
John L. Adair.

The Plight of a Louisiana Gentle-

The following is an extract from
a letter written by Mr. William 8.
Loomis of Shrevtport La. under
date of September 19th 1SS.8:
"For a year I was afliicted with
a horrible case of blood poison
and upwards of five months of that
time I was unable to do work of
any kind. My finger nails came
off and my hair dropped out leav-
ing my head as clean and smooth
as if it had been shaved. I con
sulted the best local physicians
and spent hundreds of dollars for
medicines of different kinds but
without receiving the slightest
benefit. I was advised finally to
visit Hot Springs. This I did
but becoming disgusted with the
treatment I was receiving there
commenced taking Swift's Specific
(S.8. S.) The erlfct that S. S. S.
had on me was truly wonderful.
I commenced to recover after tak-
ing the first bottle and by the
time I had tkii twelve bottles I
was entirely eured cured by
Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) when the
world-renowned Hot Springs had
failed. Wm. S. Loomis

THB ONLY TERRITORY PAPER
To get Into Rowell'a "Preferred
Llat" ia the Chieftain.
Geo. P. Rowell & Co. proprie-
tors of the American Newspaper
Advertising Bureau No. 10 Spruce
Street New York have issued a
pamphlet containing a choice se-
lection of newspapers for an ad-
vertiser to use who prefers to con-
fine his advartising investments to
such as are likely to pay him best.
This catalogue names all the
greatest and all the best newspa-
pers. The selection made includes
every religious' agricultural or
other class weekly having a regu-
lar issue of so many as ten thou-
sand copies ; all the great month-
lies the leading dailies in all the
largest cities and aims to name
the best paper in every county
seat having a population of so
much as three thousand and ev-
ery other town village or city hav-
ing so much as five thousand popu-
lation provided a paper is printed
which issues as many as a thou-
sand copies a week.
The carefully selected list which
is now issued by Geo. P. Rowell
A Co. is the first which has been
put forth in accordance with a reso-
lution of the association of general
newspaper advertising agents. It
is issued by the oldest best equip
pod and most favorably known of
all the agencies and is likely to
invite careful examination and
criticism from both advertisers and
publishers. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.
have a more thoroughly perfected
system and better facilities for con-
ducting the necessary negotiations
with newspapers and watching tho
fulfillment of advertising contracts
than has ever been attempted by
any other house in this line in this
or any other country. At their
advertising bureau which was es-
tablished in 1805 have originated
most of the methods ot conducting
such a business which have prov-
ed to be permanently successful.
They have issued the American
Newspaper Directory for twenty-
two years. They now advise thoir
advertising patrons that it will al
ways be well to confine advertise
ment orders to papers selected
from the Catalogue of Preferred
Papers here referred to unless the
advertiser has tome conclusive
reasons of his own for using others.
The population of every place
where a newspaper is published ia
stated in the catalogue; county
seats are designated and the cir-
culation rating accorded to every
paper by the last is mo of tho
American Newspaper Directory is
given. Out of the seventeen thou-
sand papers named in the Directo-
ry only about two thousand are
selected; of these only one issued
in the Indian Territory and it is
perhaps not necessary to add
The Indian Chieftain is accorded
the distinction of being that one.
There is no subject in newspaper-
dom upon which Geo. P. Rowell Jc
Co. are not looked upon as au-
thorities and our reader will cheer-
fully attest the good judgment dis-
played in classing Tub Chieftain
with the select.
