1t Will Take Work.

The editor of the Winfield Courier
in long editorial objects 10 and hnds
fault with the effort being made To get
an extension of time upon the Usage
lands. He saws that the lands are not
properly designated: that the plan
would not 60 aud is not desirable
one: that the government VIII not boz
ther itself; that no taxes would be paid:
that the lands are government lands,
and that one such effort vas made by
Col. Naming and failed for want of en-
dorscment BY the department.
In answer we have only TO say:
We are not particular as to the plan
adopted so that the plan furnishes re-
lief TO the settlers and allows the lands
10 be taxed. The Trust lands and
Diminished reserve are designated by
the government under the general head
Of Dosage lands. ana what will give
relief to one portion will give relief TO
the whole,-the petition and concur
rent resolution will be SO wordcd.
Congress is elected 10 carry out the
will Of the people within the constitu-
ton. 1t is no; expected that the gov
crnment will foreclose mortgages, the
certificate for patent would simply be
annullcd or voided upon the failure of
the settlers TO comply with the provi-
= Il. 10 lo,,
not government lands in any sense, and
the government is only an agent under
the treaty for proper disposal of the
lands for the Indians Col. Naming is
an able gentleman, we concedc. but be-
cause he failed is no reason why the
settlers should dispair and no effort be
made TO save them from the bankrupt
ing rule which now obtains.
We are not at all selfish in this mat
ter. If our friend of the Courier has
better digestcd plan, one more feasible,
let ms lave il. He can count upon us
for whatever aid we may be able to
give. Tho lct.tionS are being signed
By thousands of settlers. and if the plan
proposed III the EAGLE is Objectionable
these petitions will give the congress
and department to understand that the
settlers are ia earnest.
We have always been led 10 believe
that the government WAS instituted for
the benefit of the people and not solely
in the Interests 81 oar rulers. The
right of petition. in the language of the
declaration Of indepcnd nee, shall ne
yer be denied or abridged. And fur
Their, as representative, Of the desires,

question has been discussed enough,
