Tint oattlo markets in St. Louis,
Chicago and Kansas City were dead
dull last week. Shipping poor cat-

Tat papers are teeming with ac-
counts of the opening of the Sac and

Tuesday. The rush to these lands
exceeded the raidthat was made in-
to Oklahoma when it waa opened.
Twenty thousand peoplo mado the
rush, but only five thousand can
get homos.

The papers are full of accounts of
the groat and terrible earthquake
that recently shook up San Salva-
dor. And where is San Salvador ?
It ia a part of Central America,
and not far from both the Atlantic
and Pacifio Ocean. A volcano
perhaps opened in the bed of the
sea and the waters rushing in caus-
ed a big explosion there which
was felt all around. Some hun-
dreds of people are said to have
been killed.

The present situation of afTnirs
will warrant citisens in oxpecting
ti 1 igs,that are bad enough now,to
grow steadily worse instead of bet
ter, unless proper and active rem-
edies be not at once applied. As
certain as that cause will follow
affect, our national paper will dep
reciate, money will retire from
eight, the popular mind will be<
come anxious and foreboding, en
terprise will languish, Intrusion
will multiply, enemies will
chuckle with anticipation, and
period of general disoouragement
and distress will soon arrive and
prevail on all sides—standing as we
do now on the very verge of it
if vigilance does not at once take
the plaoo of apathy in the man-
agement of our public affairs, and
prompt and appropriate remedial
measures be not at onco adopted
to meet the rapidly approaching
frifis.
ary of said seven millions of acres,
as far wost as the sovereignty of
tho United States and their right
of soil extend: Provided, however,
that if tho salino or salt plain on
the western prairlo shall be within
said limits porscribed for said out
iet, the right is reservnd to the
United States to permit other tribes
of red men to got salt on said
plain in common with the Cbero
kees; and letters-patent shall be is
sued by the United 8tatos as soon
as practicable for the land hereby
guarantied; and whereas it is appre-
honded by the Cherokees that in
the above cession there ie not con-
tained a sufficient quantity of la~ '
for tho accommodation of the wbolo
notion on their lemoval west of
tho Mississippi, tbo United States
in consideration of the sum ot five
hundred tliousnnd dollars there-
fore, hereby covenant and agree to
coi,vey to tho sa'd Indians and
their descendants, by patent in foe
simple, the following additional
traot of land, situated between ihe
west lino of the state of Missouri
and the Osage reservation, begin-
ning at the southeast corner of the
same and runs north along the
eMt line ol the Osago lands fifty
miles to the northeast corner thoro
of; and thence east to the west
line of the State of Missouri; thence
with said line south fifty miles;

hundred tbouand acres of land; but
it ia expressly understood that
any of the lands assigned tho Qua-
paw* shall fall within the afore-
said bouods tho same shall be re-
served and excepted out of tho
lands nbove granted, and a pro rata
reduction shall be allowed to the
United States for the same by the
Cherokees,
Article 3. Tbo United States also
agrco that tho lands above coded
by the treaty of Fob. 14, 1838, In-
cluding the outlet, and those ccded
by this treaty, shall all be included
one patent executed to the
Cherokee Nation of Indians by tho
President of tho Unitod States ac-
cording to the provisions of the act
of May 28th 1880. It is, however,
agreed that the military reserva-
tion at Fort Gibson snail be bold
by the United States. But should
the United States abandon said
post and havo no further nse tor

Cherokee Nation. The United
States shall always have the right
to make and establish such post
and military forta in any part of
tho Cherokee country as they may

protection of the samo, and thefreo

to assure ihe tribe or nation with
which the exchange is made, that
tho United 8tates will forever se-
cure and guarantee to them and
tho'r beirs or successors, the coun-
try so exchanged with them, and if
they prefer it, that the United
States will cause a patent or grant
to be made and executed to them
for the same; Provided, alwayl that
such lands shall revert to the
United 8tatoa should the Indians
beoomo extinct or abandon the tame."
On the 81st day ol December,
1888, the President of tho United
States, in pursuance of the provis-
ions of tho treaties ef 1828, 1888,
and 1885 with the Cherokee Na-
tion, mado and executed to said
Nation a patent, in which the pro-
visions of said treaties with ref-
erence to the seven million acres
for a permanent home, and the eight
hundred thousand ncres additional,
and the Cherokee outlet are set
out, and with the following grant'
ing and Habendum clauses:
"Therefore, in execution of the
agreements and stipulations con-
tained in the said several treaties,
the United States have given And
granted, and by these presents do
give und grant unto the said Cher-
okee Nation, tho two tracts of
land, so described, containing in
the whole fourteen millions, three-
hundred and seventy-four thousand,
one hundred and thirty-five acres, and
fourteen hundreths of an acre, to have
and to hold the same, together with
all the rights, privileges and ap-
purtenances thereto belonging to
the said Cherokee .Xation forever;
subject, liowevor, to the right of
the United States to permit other
tribes of rod men to get salt on
the salt plain on the westorn prai-
rie referred to in the second article
of the treaty of the twenty ninth of
December, one thousand eight
hundred and thirty five, which
salt plain has been ascertained to
be within the limits prescribed for
the outlet agreed to be granted by-
said atricle; andjsubject also to all
the other rights reserved to tho
United States, in and by the arti-
cles herein before recited, to the
extent and in tho manner, in
which the said rights are so reser-
ved; and subiect also to the condi-
tion provided by tho act of Con-
gress of the twenty eighth of May,
one thousand eight hundred and
thirty, refered to in the above re-
cited third article, and which con-
dition is that the lands hereby
granted shall revert to the United
States, if the laid Cherokee Nation
becomes extinct, or abndaons the
same,"
Now, the question is, what kind of
title do these soveral treaties, and
the act of 1880, and the patent of
1888, give the Cherokee Nation to
the lans described in the treaties
and patent, including the Chero-
kee Outlet! And, in determining
this question, it matters not wheth-
er the title of the Cherokee Nation
shall be derived from the soveral
troaties, or from tho patent issued
in pursuanco of such treaties, so
far as the title to the Cherokeo
