In our personal opinionis abomin-
able, in our editorial capacity We
would remark more suavely it IL
unwise, or 1t least inclined TO be
extreme. We agree that sevoa
foot ,oster could d-s~n ne al hut
still we would like enough water to
drink. We agree that limit 70
pasture fencing east Of 06 was nee
essary but 30 acres il extreme. If
the limit was $40 acres not more
than twenty men in the Nation
would take advantage Of it and IL
they took advantage Of it, no one
would be inconvenienced. II come
limit had not been fixed however
the Nation would have been fenced
before another Council could have
met, because big pastures pay and
many would have rushed into Il.
The true criterion is to give every.
encouragement to enterprise con-
sistent with the privileges Of those
who are not entcrprising, let the
larger fish have all the room they
want 80 they do not crowd the lit
tie fish too much. II you refuse q
man as many acres as he would be
entitled to by a fair division, he
frets under it and is inclined to de-
mand anyway as much as he would
be entitled to by such division. and
this law therefore melting men by.
its unwisc restriction to thoughts
of allotment, must be considered
unwise and injudicious. The Del
awares have the right to have al
pasture Of lG0 aerss any,eay by
treaty, and SO the law forbids 70 al
native born Cherokee what an
adopted citizen may enjoy. Lett
the limit be changed to one or two
square miles. That would be rca-
sonably large and yet restrict mons

ITEM. The part set aside for Semi
| naries and common schools is only

has been made up by calling on a

the schools are not in operation
and, since the surplus has been ex-
hausted, by tho new incomes de-

were encamped near the Agency.
All were quiet and no trouble an
ticipated. Checote's party, num-

and the first intimaton we had
heard Of their presence, they came
riding through the Agency, taking
prisoners every man they found
with a corn hssk in his hat. Both
forces, well armed with Winches-

RailrOai.

We are well pleased to hear thai
the officials in charge of this road
have been sufficiently aroused, by
the plaintiye voice of the INDIAN
CmErrAN, to call on our citizens
with view to settlement. Mr.,
Audrian, Mr.. McSpaddcn and sew
eral others have informed us of a
move in this direction, and we have
simply to say this is all we want.
We want fair settlement Of DAM
ages done, and fair dealing by our
people, nothing more but We will
be content with nothing less. Mr..
Jas. r. Audrian has had a thor
oughbred bull killed since we last
spoke ofthis road, and they have
offered to sompromiss it by paying
5000. Mr.. Audrian values the
animal at $4,000. The company
should let the animal be valued by
disinterested parties and pay their
award and with that Mr.. Audrian
would and should be satisfied. In
the summer of 1881 Mr.. N. B.
Breedlovc had his farm destroyed
by violent prairie ERE set out by
the west bound passenger train at
Prairie. City. He had the loss es-
timated by disintcrested parties,
and sent the papers to the authori-
ties Of the X. X. They are silent
but at last tell. him the papers
must be made out in detail and
sworn to before some notary pub
lie. Accordingly he gets bis wit
nesses and hauls them in his wagon
to Baxter Springs before o Mr..
Hamilton, 1--WE think), and has the
papers made out in the required
form and sends them in. He waits
but hears nothing. He writes and
learns that proof is wanted. He
writes asking where the proof he
sent may be. Curiously enough
hey don't krop. He gets his wit
nesses together again, and again |
goes TO the state, before a justice
of the peace, and makes out his
proof, this time reservine copies. |
He sends copy to the Interior |
Department and employs a Law. yer. |

A decision mas at last been xen-
dercd by the Secretary of the In
terror on the wire fences. The
following is > synopsis: The Sec
retary of the Interior has directed
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
that he will not rsscind his order
on wire fences. He says the Cher
oksc Nation has entire jlrisdictioss
ocey the eass and unless proper aad
satisfactory arrangements are made
with the Cherokee National auth
critics within . reasonable time
that the order fer tearing down the
fences is TO be executed.
We were opposed to this order
doing away with the wire fences
because the Cherokee Nations
rights we're invaded in the premis-
es. If the government had the
right to order fencing torn down
west Of IS before the Cherokees
complained Of it and simply be-
cause the U. s. wished to do so !;
il the U. s. had the right, through
her title and jurisdiction over that
land, TO order fencing torn down,
she had it also here a. the rhols
land is held under . common pat
ent and has never been alienatsd.
A dangerous precedent weuld'have
been established, II the Cherokees
had said nothing and let the U. s.,
without protest, and Of her own
right, tear down fencing on Chero-
kss lands. Our possession Of and
jurisdiction oper such lands would
