Only lliirly days till tlio chief
h nominated. Lot It i in ho a in.iit
Hint will favor allotment.
It is t i ii io tlio precincts in the
tlifliMvnt Uititricts were calling
meetings for choosing and instruct-
ing delegates for the corning nomi-
nation!). Sisck th Arrow is anxious to
know wlio in to he the National
nominee it in an net of couiteey to
tell him: I). W. liusliyhead of
Tal.lo is the man.
While in Washington last week
Mr. lroniile of this city received
information which satisfied him
that a decision r.dversc to the
Watties had been arrived nt in
that noted rape nnd that it would
.soon bt announced.
"Will some good Downing man
tell a good National mn how the
Bchoolti of the county are to be
c mtintied with the present embar-
rassed condition ol our education-
al funds?" Yes; if you will trot
out a good National man.
MUST BE A MISTAKE.
Jut on whose part ? That is
the question. It is reported that
at a recent meeting of the Indian
committee a measure for the re-
lief of th Rhawnecs and others
being unifei consideration dele-
gate Ad.iir appeared and made the
statement that there wero no con-
siderable number of citizens of the
Chemkoe nation who desired the
country allotted; only a few disaf-
fected persons under the leader-
hliip of some briefless attorneys.
It is true Mr. Adair has been ab-
sent from the nation for six mouths
but still it cannot be said that all
the present strength of the allot-
ment movement has been engen-
dered since that time and hence
we say there ''Must be a Mis-
take." The appearances aro that
a candidate for chief will make a
race on the allotment platform
next election and further if the
two old parties get anywhere near
the same number of votes it is
more than probable he will be
elected.

AN UNENVIABLE POSITION.
The position of the Arrow is ut-
terly contemptible or else pitiful
lor sweet charity's gako let the
latter term be used. It is howl-
ing and making a great deal of
noise without knowing for whom
it is howling or why it is making
to much noise. It knows andcon-
iesscs it has no opinions of its
own Lut is thoroughly the slave
fits party. Forced to applaud
i 'u party's doing yet it is not en-
trusted with its party '8 plans.
The party bosses hold their paper
in such esteem that they do not
in'im ite even to their own organ
whom they will nominate so that
the editor is forced to ask: "Will
the friends of the National party
j;ive some idea through the col-
umns of the Arrow who the most
available man is?" Poor fellow !
lie knows nothing yet is com-
pelled to keep on grinding the
"organ." He cannot take up
questions of the day for fear hia
party will choke him off. He can-
not either favor cr oppose allot-
ment with any enthusiasm be-
cause his party may act the con-
trary. His path a narrow one
nnd rough w marked out for him.
He may strike the Downing party
and that is all. No that is not
quit; all: his boses allow him to
dismount from his treadwheel now
nnd then and work up little things
that will neither do any good or
any harm. It is no wonder then
that hU fertile fancy weaves such
falsehoods as when he says Tub
Chirftain is controlled by Ilooly
Hell or any other man or when
Jie assures the people that this pa
per opposes a fullblood chief. :
Thr CniErTAix has its principles
and will support the man that will
try to support these principles.
As to a fullblood being chief this
paper opposes or supports no man
on account of his nationality but
lor his education advancement
mid wortli. All this is known to
the Arrow it proves its assertions
to the cortrary are not true still
feince he has such a hard time
the poor iellow ought to be ex-
cused. What he does is neither
good nor harm lie is compelled
U tMk o let him t ilk.

A FlfiW REASONS WHY THE
Delawares and Shawnoos Have
no Internet In tho Outlot.
Because these hinds wero bet
apart under Art. Hi of the Cherokee
treaty of 1NHG for settlement by
friendly Inditing. There being
no reservation id' any part of tho
lands from such settlement the
entire country is virtually u ces-
sion to the United Slates to the
extent of that purpose. This was
tho condition in which thu lauds
were before the lelavares and
Shawnoes became citizens of tho
Cherokee nation.
Itccauxo tho conditions regulat-
ing the right of the United States
government to settle civilized In-
dians upon the lands of the Chero-
kee nation cast of the IKith merid-
ian are similar to those regulating
the same right to settle friendly
Indians west of that lino. Tho
civilized and tho friendly Indians
are only entilled to one hundred
and sixty acres each for which
they must pay a stipulated price.
This quantity of acres and no
more severally or collectively
is theirs by tho right of purchase
and in no other way.
liecauso Artielo 15 of the treaty
quoted is authority for the posi-
tion taken and in part reads:
"Should any tribe or band of
"Indians settling in said country
"abandon their tribal organization
"there being first paid into tho
"Cherokee national fund a sum of
"money which nhall sustain tho
"same proposition to the then ex-
isting national fund that the iniin-
"ber of . Indians ' sustain to the
"whole number ofCherokees then
"residing in tho Cherokee coun-
"try Ihcy 6hall bo incorporated
"into and ever after remain a part
"of the Cherokeo nation on equal
"terms in every respect with ua-
"tive citizens. And should any
"such tribe thus settling in said
"country desire to preserve their
"tribal organizations and to main-
"tain their tribal laws customs
"and usages not inconsistent with
'the constitution and laws of the
"Cherokee nation they shall
"have a district of country et off
"for their use by metes and bounds
"equal to one hundred and .sixty
"acres if thsy should so desire
"lor each man woman and child
"of said tribe and shall pay for
"the same into the national fund
"such price as may be agreed on by
'them and tho Cherokee nation
"subject to the approval of the
"president of the United States
"and in case of disagreement the
"price to be fixed by the presi
"dent."
Whether east or west of the
meridian mentioned the quantity
of acres allowed each individual
Indian is one hundred and sixty
acres and to be paid for at a price
to be fixed in tho same way. Civ-
ilized Indians aro more restricted
in their purchase of Cherokee lands
than the friendly because they
deal more directly w ith the Chero-
kee authorities while the friendly
more directly with the United
States as ii. stance the Osagcsand
other tribes settled west. They
all have more than one hundred
and sixty acres apiece for which
they have paid.
Because civilized Indians set-
tled cast who might wish to pre-
serve their tribal organizations
would bo exactly in the same con-
dition as to lands as the friendly
west. Neither would be entitled
t rr.ore or c ould claim more
than they actually paid for. A
change from a tribal organization
of civilized Indians to an incor-
poration of tho tribe into the
Cherokee nation ought not to ef-
fect the logic ot this conclusion or
give such Indians more advantages
or entitle them to greater prop-
erty rights than they had before. Hy
no manner of reasoning or by any
fair construction of the treaty pro-
vision above quoted could a civil-
ized tribe preserving its tribal or-
ganization and maintaining its tri-
bal laws customs and usages be
entitled to more lauds than laid
off for its use by metes and bounds
or it has paid for. As such or-
ganized tribe it could not be apart
or its members be citizens of the
Cherokee nation. Should a tribe
in such a condition abandon its
tribal organization and become in-
corporated into the Cherokee na-
tion its property rights could not
in any way be diminished. If not
diminished by the same rule they
could not be increased.
The agreement between the
Delaware and the Cherokee au-
thorities sustains this proposition.
In relation to lands it says:
"In case the Cherokee lands
"shall hereafter be allotted among
"the members of said nation it is
"agreed that the f.ggrcgate amount
"of land s herein provided for the
"Delaware? to include their im-
provements according to the le-
"gal sub-divisions when the sur-
"veys are made that is to say
"one hundred and sixty seres for
"each individual shall beguaran- i
"teed lo each Delaware incorporat- j
"cd by these articles into the
"Cherokee nation."
Whether "the Cherokee lands"
brrenftf-r to a'l.it'p 1 mean the
lands cast of tho fjfitli meridian or
whether both east and west of that
line because either way they are
"Cherokee lands" the sanio re
sult seems to be provided for. It
is guaranteed that each Delaware
shall have one hundred and sixty
acres. I f each is not to havo less
bow can each claim more? A
Cherokeo m.y g't much less in
the event of an allotment but Mr.
Delaware is guaranteed one hun-
dred and sixty acres let cuts go
as they may and that too of tho
best lands in tho country because
they already havo them. "It is
indued a poor rule that wont work
both ways." Ifin case of allot-
ment the Delawares are not to get
any nioro than Chcrokees there
might ho some sense in tho Dela-
wares claiming an equal interest
in all the lauds with tho Chero-
kee. Because the agreement referred
to contains likewise the following:
"And that there may bo no
"doubt as to the amount to bo
"contributed to the Cherokee na-
"tional fund by the Delawares it
"is agroed by tho parties hereto
"that tho whole amount of the in-
"vestcd funds of the Cherokees
"after deducting all just claims
"thereon is ?G7800O."
"And the Delawares further
"agree that in calculating the to-
"tal amount of said national fund
"there shall bo added to the said
"sum ol ?G78(XX) the sum of $1-
"000000 being the estimated val-
"ue of tho Cherokeo neutral lands
"in Kansas thus making the
"whole Cherokee national fund
"81678000 and the last mention
"ed sum shall be taken as tho ba-
"sis for-calculating tho amount
"which the Delawares are to pay.
"into the common fund."
This quotation shows that the
basis for calculating tho amount
the Delawares were to put in the
common fund did not includo an
estimate of our western lands as it
did of the neutral in Kansas.
The inquiry is w hy ?
Because as stated in the begin-
ning ol this argument they had
been set apart for the settlement
of friendly Indians; because such
settlement was so indefinite as to
time as already proven and be-
cause the price per acre to bo fixed
by the parties in interest was so
uncertain and subject to disagree- i
ment between them and to inter-
ference and decision by the presi-
dent of the United States that no
definite value of the lands could
be arrived at so that the amount
to bo paid in the common fund by
the Delawares was more a matter
of conjecture than any thins like
a mathematical calculation.
Because the Delawares accord-
ing to common sense and the prin-
ciples of right and justice have
an interest only in the ono hun-
dred and sixty acres each has
paid for and in the invested lund
of eG7$000and in the 11000000
the estimated value of the neutral
lands in Kansas increased by the
amount they contributed to these
sums.
Because the "equal terms in
every respect with native citi-
zens" mentioned in article 13 of
our last treaty to which any civ-
ilized tribe of Indians incorporat-
ed into the Cherokee nation is en-
titled to depends upon a pay.
ment "into the Cherokee national
fund" of "a sum of money w hich
"shall sustain the same propor-
tion to the then existing
"national fund that the number of
"Indians sustain to tho whole
"number of Cherokocs then resid-
ing in the Cherokeo country."
This "rule of three" manner of
determining the amount the Dela-
wares had to pay into the common
fund to entitle them to "equal
terms in every respect with nativo
citizens" clearly demonstrates tho
fact that any civilized tribe that
wishes to be incorporated into the
Cherokee nation must pay for an
interest in tho national funds and
property before the tribe or any
part of it can claim such an in-
terest. If equal terms in every
respect with native citizens mean
that the Chcrokees cannot bold
money Or property outside of its!
adopted citizens advantages are
all on tho side of the Delawares
because they receive annual sums
outside of the Cherokee? and
would kick up a h of a iuss
should the Chcrokees claim any
part of it. Such terms as "un-
principled scoundrels and
thieves" applied to the Chcro
kees for such an outrage would j
be but faint expressions of dis- j
gust and indignation and of cxplo- j
sions of temper hurled at the
Cherokees.
The reasons why the Delawares
have no interest in the lands of
'ie outlet or in their proceeds np- i
ply as well to the Shawnees. Go-1
ing upon the principles of right;
and justice and the correct busi-
ncss relations between man and'
man the Shawnets have less ex-1
cuse for complaint than any clas !
of Cherokee citizens. Ifthe little!
sum per enj.ts paid by them in- j
to the .'oninjon fund is a measure ;
of their lifcht in the country their
interest in the lands and monevs
of the Cherokee nation is final! j
indeed. ' Respectfully

A OIIABAOTEHI3TIO LETTEK.
Oreon Brier Joe Writes of the 4th
and of Other Thing
llooraw for the -1th of July Mr.
Kditor; this is the howl from all
over our nation and the people
of Martin's valley join in tho
howl "llooraw for tho 4th of
July." Now my friends this 4th
of July business shows us Indians
In a way that cannot be mistaken
that the whito man bus cut his
b'amo dog loosa and we as a na-
tion are afraid to tangle with him.
The 4lh of July was celebrated in
tho valley with a vengeance.
There wero no speeches of any
kind dulivered; not that we lacked
the orators the' wero hero by
the wagon load but wo did not
care to loan the time in listening
to speeches over a hundred years
old; how the fathers fought bled
and died to set up tho stars and
stripes that our tall sycamore
Judgo Tom Buflington a full
blood Cherokee Indian was se-
lected to pack at the 4th of July
celebration at Vinita. We Indians
know whit took place when the
thirteen colonics became inde-
pendent and we know what has
been taking place ever since and
just what is happening at tho
present moment for tho whites
will roll on with thoir 4ths until
Boor Lo is no more.
We met at an early hour on the
west bank of Grand river in tho
grand old Green Brier bottom and
commenced at once to celebrate.
The music was fine tho stand be-
ing just at tho edge of the noble
old river and as tho music rolled
out of the instruments and fell up-
on the waters it became more soft
and mellow and as the sound
would tile away in the distance it
would make you feel like you was
on the road to heaven and if I
ever go there 1 want to go by way
of Grand river and take Green
Brier bottom along with me. The
dancing was just splendid nnd
every lady was dressed for God
sake. Wo celebrated until 12
o'clock and then wo spread down
on tho bosoni of our good old
mamma nnd went to self-baiting.
We laid out roast beef roast nxC-
ton roast pork fried squirrel
fried chicken and good old Grand
river lried lish. Wo baited for an
hour and 1 thought in my soul
that some of them would not be
able pack the bait around so live-
ly on tho dancing floor for they
baited so lively don't you see
but when the music pealed forth
the bait was toatcd around all the
same. The celebration moved
steadily on until night threw her
mantle over the grand old bottom
tho birds went to sleep the fish
enveloped themselves in the deep
and tho cclebrators moved out in-
to the valley to the house of Mr.
Lamm where they onco more
ilished the fantastic toe hard
against the door until tho "wee
sma' hours."
New my Cherokee friends don't
you see that tho dog is cut loose
and that we as a nation are afraid
to tangle with him? Now w hat is
best for the nation to do? I an-
swer for mycelt let us claim a part
in the dog; nllot our lands nnd
then we can hoop up our dog and
run boldly in the big pack open
mouthed and unmuzzled yelping
as keenly a9 any of them. If
there is any other way to save our
country please tell it to me. 1
read Assi.-tant Chief Sam Smith's
address at tho big meeting on
Fourteen Mile creek lie hinged
on the compact; he held to it as a
drowning man would hold to a
snag; he was awfully afraid Mayes
and the balance of mankind would
forget the compact; ho lost sight
of everything but the compact; he
said ho stood pat on tho compact
and according to my way of think-
ing that is about all he will do-
he will be left he and his com-
pact but then you know be will
be Ft;inding on the thing. He said
but few words touching our land;
ho said in ten years wc would
need every foot of our land.
That's just what I say and I say
the way to have it when we need
it is to take it now lor if we wait
ten years we will then find that
e will have no share in the big
dog that is now cut loose and that
we are afraid to tangle np with
for fear we will be badly worried.
If we were not afraid to tangle up
with niin we would have these in-
truders out of our nation; we
would do as we please with our
strip; we would tell the intruder
nigger to get up aixl dust; we
would make the wire patuns
come down; we wuu'.d step this
unlaw ful 1 a-ing of our public do-
main; we would stop this unlaw
ful way some of our adopted citi-
zens have i f holding cattle in cir
nation for other partif-s who don't
belong here. But don't you see I
there is the big dog and we arc
sfraid to tangle up with him.
Then let us set our foot down on ;
our individual land and sit under"
our own vine and persimmon tree ;
and sy it is our dog. Our!
life as a nation of people depend i
upon cur lands; fuel away our
lands snd you fool away onr lives.
Our ebufs and ofiicer v.bo
hold tho destiny of our nation in
your hands I pray that you set us
up solid on our lands; throw every
guard around us needed protect
the poor and needy and especially
tho poor widow and the unfortu
nate orphan; tho heavens forever
be J. L. Maiitin.

was large and enthusiastic; thir
teen of tho sixteen sub-unions of
tho district were represented by
full delegations. While the mem-
bers of this order do not wage war
in particular against anyone they
propose by co-operation to pi otect
themselves against tho.imposilions
of others. The reports of tho
work of tho various committees
and thoir labors in this respect
were highly satisfactory. The
following 'n a list of newly elec
ted officers:
J. D. Tabler of Sager union

A PLEA FOR THJS SCISSORS.
"The Chieftain"' Good Naturodly
Taken to Task.
Am.lwic 1. T. July IS 1HM.
Editor Chieftain: I have been
a close reader of your paper for
half a dozen years and have al-
ways found much to admire in the
manner in which it is conducted.
I am not however very favorably
impressed with the mental calibre
of all of your correspondents. 1
do not allude to those who confine
themselves to reporting the news
of their various localities but on-
ly to such as take upon themselves
the tusk of telling how the govern-
ments of the Cherokee nation and
ol the United States should be
conducted. A porusal of several
communications which have ap
peared lately impel me to believe
the authors are not capable of suc
cessfully conducting a peanut
stand let alone discoursing intel-
ligently upon statecraft. Don't
forget that you are an editor re-
sponsible for the course and stand-
ing of your paper and whenever
in your judgment an article is bet-
ter suited for the waste basket
than your columns let it go that
way. A nice column of newsy
clippings is blwuys to be preferred
to a senseless communication.
Your fiicnd Wn.sox.
Both Ankles Oiushed.
In a railroad smasliup in 1S70
I had both ankles badly crushed.
Soon after blood poison set in
and both legs from my knees down
wre covered with ulcerated sores
that refused all efforts to heal.
I was virtually helpless for ten
years being bedridden most of the
time. During all the time I was
attended by the best physicians in
this section of the state and must
have taken a cart load of medicine
without receiving any relief or be-
in b benefitted in any way. In
18S7 I was induced to try Swit's
Specific (S. S. S.) I commenced
to improve from the first dose and
continued to get better until to-
day I am as sound and well as
any man in the universe. This
was two years ago since which I
have had no return of sores or any
pain in the leg. From my expe-
rience I coii'i ieutiousl v believe
that Swift's Specific (S.S. S.) has
no equal as a blond purifier and
I cheerfuily recommend it to any
one euflVrinn from anv diM-ae of
the blood. Ciias. E. Hamilton
