N' The rejection by the Cherokee
Council of the Ok-mul.kee Constitution
is considered unfortunate bv many of the
best friends of the Nation. The consti.
tuition provides that the tribes in the
Indian Territory, should be united under
a Territorial form ofgovernment, admin
lsterlng the laws by their own officers,
and being in fact an Indian State, gov.
erning itself, instead of as now, divided
into dozen tribes each having it's own
government. and some Of them being so
small and scattered as to be without any.
Its adoption was strongly urged by Hon.
W, L. Ross, one OF the finest orator
and ablest statesman in the Cherokee or
any other nation, and opposed by Prin-
cipal Chief, Lewis Downing. The re
lection Of the constitution by the Chcro
KEGS deprives it Of the required consent
OF two-thirds of the tribes The consti
tuition itself was fully prepared to test
the question Of Indian self government.
Whether it would have passed Congress,
without such an alteration to suit rail.
road interests, as would have DESTROYED
its original shape and purpose may be
doubted. Fear that the very fact that
the tribes in the Territory desired diff
terent government might be made an
excuse for Fastening the opening of the
Territory to the whites contrary to their
wishes, may have been the reason, why
so large party desired its defeat At
al! events it is defeated and any step to.
