to ■arrange a settlement. There art
many colored cil'zens of the Cherokee
.Nation, however, who have come into
the Territory since the emancipation
proclamation was issued, and they
elairn equal privileges with tho origin-
al freedmen and their heirs. The In-
dians, it seems, were induced to pass
the act putting out the colored citizens
from sharing the proceeds of the sale
of the lands in order to reach this very
class. While, therefore, they shut out
the impostors, they also deprived of
their rights the original freedmen who
were justly entitled to equal consider-
ation with the Cherokccs. "When the
recent appropriation was made all the
colored citizens of the Cherokee Ka-
il ask what is the quickest I tion claimed a share of the money

iriably be, "My friend, use slaves or ihe heirs of s'aves among the

the :eeognMon of any but the original
freedmen or their heirs, and hence the
difficulty ot settlement, Special a gout
Heath requested the Cherokees to ap-
point a commissioner who should act
iu conjunction with another to bo se-
lected by the Indian Bureau, and with
himself as the third, in determining
didn't find any "bay" or
of the same k«nd have come in upon
tho Secretary. He sent them all to-day
to Commissioner Oberly for decision.
The ( omuiissiouer finds that there is
no authority in ihe courts of the na-
tion under the constitution to settle
the matter, nor has the legislature any
right to throw out votes. It seems
that the matter must be .arbitrarily j
settled by the government iu the end.
The nation is without money, and the
hope is expressed in official circles that
meanwhile starvation may bring about
the much-desired truce ami-peace.

recently made to the cattlemen.w Tlio

about the lease, and it is not likely
that any attention will he paid to the
matter officially during this adminis-
tration. The only notice taken of the
leasing quest on was {n tho form of u
letter written last September io Chief
Mays, of the Cherokee Nation, by Sec-
retary Vilas. The secretary stated in
this letter, which was published at the
time, that a lease of the Cherokee Strip
to any Individual or corporation would
not bo.reouguised by the department, j
and that any lease of the kind contem-
plated must be made at the ri*k of imu

^iililw^TheSecrctary of the Inter-
ior 'Intimates that no attention what-
ever will bo paid to tho lease, and that
officially it % existence will not be recog-
nized. Tho first lease was made in
1883. and ns tho Cherokee strip was
unoccupied, the government made no
interferences. That policy has been
maintained ever siuce and the cattle-
men have been allowed to occupy tho
strip, dust why the cattlemen should
be al'owed le remain In tho Cherokee
strip and yet retosed admission to Ok

r ono tare. Those of our poo- uot pretend to explain. Commissioner
Oberly, who is supposed to voice the
sentiments of the administration rela-
tive to Indian atl'airs, says that the re-
ecut lease is iuvalid just as soou as the

Congress should enact legislation look-
