The delegates of the Cherokees,
Choctaws, Greeks and other nation
al1tes do not represent their people
when they say these Indians are
not averse to the settlement of wild
Indians in their midst. There is
no proposition in the treaties of
1866 that looks to the settlement of
wild Indians within the present
limits of the Indian territory.
There is provision in the pream-
BILE of all these treaties to settle the
Kansas and other friendly Indians
within this territory, and that has
been done by the location of the
Delawares, Shawnees, Osages and
other tribes. The Indians of this
country will never ask congress for
any change that will involve or
contemplate change in their tribal
relations, but they are satisfied it
will come, and they would rather
become citizens of the United
States and have their lands allotted
to them than to have their country
overrun with their wild brethren
of the plains. The plan of limiting
the boundry of the ninty-eighth
meridian meets with general favor
among the more intelligent class
of our people, so as to leave the
territory west of that line exclu-
sive'y for the use of the less civ
ilized tribes.
The old men say they want to
locate their lands for their children,
and with the proposed plan of
making these lands inalienable for
a period of twenty years they say
their children will be the richest
people on earth. If a vote could be
taken among those capable of an
intelligent and unprecedented ex-
preston of opinion there would be
no opposition to the plan of re-
stricted limit to the territory, ter
ritorial organization, citizenship in
the United States and allotment of
their lands, with the remainder to
be sold for their use and benefit,
the establishment of schools and
the Improvement of their farms.
Until the country understands
that the same policy for civilized
and wild Indians will not suit both,
the Indian question will not reach
q proper solution.
Heretofore the worst phase of
our civilization has been presented
to our people in thousands of
worthless and depraved white men,
who flee to the territory for refuge
and finally marry our women and
then turn up among the loudest in
talking about Indian wrongs and
for the exclusion of white men
from the territory. These are the
men that tell us we are not pre-
pared for their kind of civilization
at least,
