FiiiENU Arrow don't make such
fuss about papers gelling out.
If the Sentinel wishes to sell out
tsoul and body it is none of your
business. Don't let people soe
that you are mad because men do
not think you are worth buy-
ing. Be patient; your time will
tome soon.
Tug Cherokee outlet is thought
Jv people in the states to be the
T-arden snot of the world and if
o I
those lands were put up for sale ev
cry foot of it could be sold for more
than its real value. Now since it
is clear that the government will
give no more than its real value
the best thin;; that ran be done is
to allot that land and each man
i-ell or keep his share as he likes
. i
Where is the man that wants
the tangled skein of affairs iu his
country straightened out the man
whose whole desire will be to serve
liisi'owUry well instead of feah
vring his nest the man who will
not squander the money and toa-
dy to bosses for the sake of a few
Dart v votes ? That is the sort of
i -
man the people are looking for
just now they w ant to make him
'liief.
Hon. Gideon Morgan of Tnh-
lronah in a letter to the Tele
y. i. . L.rviln ilmioiinriul most
od of making nominations. lie
says that the captains must quit the
Downing party or he will the re
is not room in that party for him
and the captains too. He speaks
up like a man but he will not l
alone. Very few men declared
Mhemselves publicly at present
Vut they are down on the captains
all the same.
JrxR 4th the Muskogee fair
yielded up the ghost. For years
it has boen in a tottering condi
tion and each year threatened to
be its last in fact it was a dead
institution but the stockholders
with linger 'on pulse declared
dill alive till the nutting this
June. Then they decided it was
useless to try longer to keep up
the deception so sadly declared it
dead. Her sisttr towns sympa
time with Muskogee but knew
nil the time she could not uiak
success of a fair. Yinita is the only
town in It. I. T. that makes a fair
a howling success.
Sixck the Arrow is so loud in its
party talk suppose it tell the
people what the national party
proposes to do should the psople
be so unwise ns to elect a chief
ami council from that party. Will
it stop monopoly ? Will it push
the schools pay off all debts and
make the people fel their country
is safe ? Will it remove intruders ?
In rase it fails to do this will it
allot the country ? Above all will
it prevent any more of those little
t22-VX) transactions and will it
prevent its leaders from deduct-
ing f s.orwj fees for doing their du-
ty ? In regard to these things the
Armw has nothing to say believ-
ing that "silence is golden" as
doubtless it was when the $3000
fee was the subject for discussion.
Last week th Cherokee Strip
Live Stock association rent to
Tahlequah a delegation consisting
of T. S. Hutton and C. II. Eldred
to confer with Chief Mayes in re-
gird to making the sead-annual
payment for the strip. One hun-
dred thousand dollars is due the
Cherokee nation on July 1st; but
since the interior department has
ordered the cattlemen to vacate
the strip by October 1st thus giv-
ing the association the privilege
of the lease for only three months
thy wish the chief to call council
and amend the laws so th.it rent
for three months only will be ex-
acted. They are "willing to pay
for the strip long as they re-
main but no longer. Thf y should
remember however that a call
FfSM"n crMs ten thousand d illars
and f-ince they will be the gain-
rr? !hy should be willing to pay
ix?y thon itirI for the" next three
A roiuiEsroNDKNT lamenting
the ever growing monopoly of the
public domain longs for a man
like Overton of the Chickasaws
who would take his malitia and
rxpell all intruders and thus set-
tle the question at once. l!ut un-
fortunately that would not be suf-
ficient. Tho malitia could only
remove tho rejected claimants for
citizenship which is really only
a small part of the number. It
Would not stop monopoly; it
would not keep men front owning
twenty or thirty farms.
The CuiKKTAiN will gladly give
space to both sides on the allot-
ment question. Truth and right
should direct the affairs of this
nation not a superstitious regard
for iast customs rccardless of
j- .
consequences. Come let us rea-
son together. Let's have both
sides so that the truth can bo
found. If allotment is best for
our country let us be sensible and
do what is best; if it is best to
hold the land in common let us
hold it in common. An open
honest discussion can hurt only
the wrong side.
i . . i-
It is reported that tho latest
move is to get the colored people
to agree to give 25 per cent of the
per capita soon to be paid them
as a fund to influence further fa
vorable action on th part of con-
gress. Wc again desire to warn
the colored people against signing
any papers whatever. The gov-
eminent doe3 not l.ave to be sub
sidized to do justice by any class
of its citizens or those under its
care as the passage of this very
$75000 appropriation shows.
What is duo you will Le provided
without the creation of a "slush"
fund. Don't giv one cent.
ANOTHER IN FAVOR OP IT.
Dropping Into "Th Chieftain s '
Lead for Allotment.
Editor Chieftain: I notice by
a late issue of your paper that our
people are beginning to awaken to
the stern realities that are now
Mmfrontinsr thcffi--t?iat allotment
is being advocated as the only way
out of the dilemma.
Now let us go back a little say
to 1873. In that year at the sit-
ting of our national council an act
whs nnstipd making those who
.j
I-- - .
wished to employ non citizens or 1
had them in their employ pay j
825.00 per month for each and
every one so employed. There
Ty explained" by me " graninjj
Cramers of the act and that had been
carried out to the full letter of the
lawwouldin all probability tend-
ed to good. But many who wore
far enough advanced in the way
that legislation was being observed
in the Cherokee nation paid no
attention to tho net at nil. Those
were men who were in influential
positions and in common parlance
"well healed" whilst hundreds
who were strict observers of law
allowed their fields to become one
grand patch of weeds and under-
brush. The object as explained to the
writer by Benjamin Landrum
Wulker Daniels and others was
to forever get rid of the intruders.
Many of you well recollect the re-
sult of that piece of legislation
there was a general moving out
of good nou-cilizens whilst a class
stayed that would not observe
any law in any country. The final
result of ridding the country of '
that which made bread and meat j
for its citizens resulted in having
to pay out bread money in 1S83 to
keep the wolf from tho door. In
1880 your humble servant was
one of a few who advocated allot-
ment; Thos. Howie was another
he receiving a letter with an emb-
lem scratched thereon that his
days were numbered if he did not
desist from agitating the allotment
of the lands. To-day the question
can be discussed from ono end of
the Cherokee nation to the other.
Men are becoming men with broad
views looking at the matter with
unbiased principles knowing lull
well that sonicthirig must be done
and that quickly.
I as one interested who cait
my lot with the Cherokees in the
year 1S75 and having the inter-
est of our nation at heart and know-
ing full well that any legislation
that is good for the Cherokees is
good for me cannot help but say
the only sure and certain remedy
to maka ourselves what e should
be is to allot the lands pro rata.
Understand me correctly I am
not in favor of taking lfiO or '200
acres to the head and open the
balance to settlement but I am in
favor of allotting tht lands among
its citizens if it amounts to 5000
acres to the head and not one foot
to the government er anybody not
a citizen.
By allotting as above every peor
mr.r will become rich. He can
have lands that lie can call his
own; he can reap a revenue from
it that will keep him and his fami-
ly in tine shape; have homes made
for his children that cannot be ta-
ken from them free from all tres-
passers or intruders uinnortgnrd
sad unlaws I for say a period I
of twenty-five or thirty years.
Tho condition that our country
is in to-day no man can say that
ho has a permanent home.
Should our country hi) surveyed
(which is sure at some time) farms
and pleasant homes that have been
ma.lo by hard honest toil will be
cut in all imaginable shapes and
perhaps years of hard labor and
economy will have to be surren-
dered to some ono elso. Allot
ment will not destroy the nutono-
my of our nation; but on tho other
hand allotment will save it; when
this is done all is settled at to tho
land question. There may be po-
litical dillerences but that has
nothing to do with the destiny of
our nation. But a few years ago
the tkeory was advanced that
"as long as grass grew and water
run" our title was good. It now
can fully bo proven that the lux-
uriant verdure earth's beautiful
green robo and tho rippling
stream has ceased to exist. There
is but ono way to save tho nation
from any further molestation mid
that is allotment.
I have still another great reason
for calling for allotment. In 1SS0
us 1 have been credibly informed
by those who are in a position to
know the freediuen all told num-
bered 1G20. We now find at tho
present date by the same authori-
ty 4214 an increase of 2029 in
ten years. here will your
Cherokee lands be in 1900 in case
of actual division of tho domain ?
I am hero to say that this land be
longs to the Indian by a residence
and God given right; by purchase
and conquest by being banished
and exiled from a once happy
home to a western wild without
any subsistence to live or starve
as the case might be; but God
seemed to still extend the time for
the persecution of the Indian and
to-day we are confronted with a
problem that must soon be solved
and I can tell you in all candor it
is almost upon us.
If there is any land for my
family I want them to have it.
It is now that they need the bene-
fiC6f what is justly tide -theta -and
not put it off till tho year
1900 when there will not be lilty
acres to the head. Where can any-
one show any cause that we will
not be benefited;? It will forever
stop all applications for citizen-
ship as the lands and moneys are
the only incentive that any appli-
cant has for becoming a citizen of
the Cherokee nation. Men will
when it comes to the tcst'flTIs
proven without a doubt that no
claim exists.
What rights have the Chero-
kee to-day? But a few years
ago they had civil and criminal
jurisdiction over their citizens; to-
day the courts of tho nation cut a
very small figure. The question
lias been settled by tho highest
tribunal in the land that the
United States government says it is
can run as many railroads through
the Indian country as it sees fit.
It seems that the right of appeal
is in a manner unnoticed and
when an appeal is passed upon it
always rendered adversely to tho
Indian. I must say I know hun-
dreds of men in our nation who
stand at the topmost round of the
ladder in all the requisite quali-
fications that tend to make men
true iu motive Christian in action
and devoted to tho best interests
I r.e Il..f ziAiinlM. nn! r..nM .
Such men must certainly see the
impending crisis as I so it. Lay
down all political strife and try to
save our nation; there certainly
cannot be any division ot feeling
on that subject.
Let us be truo to ourselves first
of all. I am for allotment first
and last. Well might tha lan-
guage of the founder of liberty
and independence Thomas
Paine bo used in regard to the
present question:
"Ho that will not reason is a
Ligot."
"He that cannot is a fool."
"He that dare not is a slave."
C.
A FEW REASONS WHY
WE
SHOULD ALLOT.
First It would effectually pre-
vent monopoly. It has been the
great boast of the Cherokee peo-
ple "that we hold our lands in
common;" this has become a hol-
low mockery; a few individuals
are controlling all the best lands
and in a few more years it will be
utterly impossible for the rising
generation to get homes. The on-
ly remedy left us is to allot every
acre giving each individual an
equal chance to obtain good land.
Second It would effectually rid
the Cherokee people of the vexed
''intruder question." Year after
year our country Las been flooded
by a class claiming citizenship.
An adverse decision by tha courts
is effectual. Thty all remain
here grow rich off the lands of the
Cherokee nation defy the laws
farm "combines" to aid each other
in their intrusion and laugh to
scorn every effort made to effect
their removal.
Third It would give all better
a. cesi to the court fur a redress
of grievances. Gradually the ju-
risdiction of the United Slates
courts have been extended and the
jurisdiction of the Cherokee courts
curtailed until the question of ju-
risdiction forms an important fac-
tor in almost every case that
conies belore the courts. The sec-
tion of the new court bill which
gives nn Indian a tight to Ameri-
can citizenship is a "bait" that
will be taken advantage of in nu-
merous instance to defeat justiee
iu the courts of tho Indian Ter-
ritory. Fourth It would stop the
fraudulent claiming of white men's
cattle by Indians. Cattle by the
thousands f head are yearly pas-
tured in the Cherokee nation un-
der the false guise being owned
by Cherokees. The grass is thus
consumed and nut a dollar ol
revenue does tho nation oh-
tain. Allot every man his pro
rata bhare of the lands and then
white men cannot grow rich oir his
grass without tho Indian being
fully compensated therefor.
Fifth It is the only hope for
the fullblood; while tho few half-
breeds and the larco number of
white men are growing rich of! the
"coinmou heritage" of the Chero-
kee tho fullblood really the
one whoso every right should bo
jealously guarded are growing
poorer and in many instances are
in want of the necessities of life.
This may sound strange but yet
it is a fact which can bo fully veri-
fied any day. We say givo him
his share.
These are a few reasons for fa-
voring allotment. The sooner it
comes tho butter; if it had been
done ten years ago it would have
been much better every way.

The editor of the Advocate pub-

pressed his faith in S. S. S. :
"Tho good this preparation has
accomplished is incalculable p.nd
thousands of men and women that
it has saved from an early grave

inator and those who placed it in
their power to procure it. A num-

this wonderful medicine to their
great benefit most of them to their

ny has been given to the public
that others like them may take
the healing balm. We know that
Swift's Specific (S. 3. S.) is no
