ry. That would be the means per-
haps of giving us some relief, but
l am afraid they bave lost their
prestige by the actions of the late
"smart Alecks," Wolf, Phillips
and Ross. agree with "Como"
as to the allotment of our lands,
including the outlet. The old adj
age, however, would in our case be
very appropos, "Half loaf is bet.
ter than no bread" If we could
not have the outlet, let us divide
what we have, for as Como" says,
if we let it remain in common
much longer we will have but little
to divide. The only point on
VIII oh l disagree with "Como" is,
se allot our lands, instead of ap-
plying to the Cherokee nation for
an individual patent, l think we
had better procure one from the
United States government as it
would give greater security to the
party in whose name it was record
ed. A patent from the nation
might be of as little value as the
lease is likely to prove to the cattle
kings. Very Respectfully,

HIGHER EDUCATION

Nearly two years ago i came to
the Cherokee nation and was ad-
mitted to citizenship. 1 was
proud and surprised to find such
educational advantages as are to
be found in the Cherokee nation.
l am interested in its material
We 9TH and development, inter-
ested in the maintenance Of law
and interested in all efforts to
protect all our rights as a nation;
but more than all 1 am interested
in higher education of the Chero-
kee boys and girls. For as the
present and coming generation of
the young are educated, just in
that proportion will they be able
to accumulate and control wealth
and properly develop the country.
If educated, the laws will not only
be wise and good, but faithfully
executed; and intellectual or mind
power is the only power left the
nation with which to defend her
rights. Hence this plea for higher
education. Encourage the boys
and girls, who seem disposed to
go through, not only the course
prescribed in the primary and
academic schools of the nation,
but to enter and go through the
very highest institutions Of the
land. There they will gain a mind
power and form associations that
will not only fit them for great
usefulness at home, but powers
and associations by which they
can confidently hope TO uphold
and maintain all the dearest
rights, and interests of the nation.
The Cherokee nation needs men
and women that are not only great
at home, but great in Washington
city or any other city, men who
have intellectual height, breadth
and depth, men who are the peers
Of any who stand on the floor of
any senate chamber. To have these
we must have the material, (and
we certainly have some as prom
ising young men and ladies as you
find anywhere.) Then this material
must have the very highest train
ing in order 10 reach the highest
intellectual greatness.
In the last two years there have
been thirteen graduates from the
two seminaries Of the nation. The
course at these institutions, as far
as il goes, is excellent and il we'll
qualities for the ordinary duties of
life. But the future of the Chero-
kee nation will make loud calls
for men and women qualified for
not only ordinary duties, but OK.
traordinary ones. So 10 answer
this call we shall need that the
young men and women Of to-day
be given extraordinary advantages.
AS . nation, ] trust we heartily
appreciate all that has been done

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

The Century magazine for Au-
gust has a paper with map) on
the Indian country by Henry King.
We take it this is the same Henry
King that is employed as an
editorial writer on the Globe-Dem-
ocrat, and if SO his ability is rec
ognized to the extent of 1000 per
annum. The following extract is
from the article in question:
"Unquestionably the first ne
cessity of the situation is TO
strengthen, perfect and make un.
form the land titles Of the terri
tory. This can most safely and
successfully be accomplished, it is
believed, by alloting lands to the
Indians in severalty-at the rate,
say, of 160 acres per head-and
giving them personal titles thereto,
inalienable for stipulated number
of years, and providing for the dis
posal, at government prices, of the
unallotted and remaining portions
of their reservations, for their BEN
eft, to white settlers. In an allot-
ment Of this kind, twelve million
two hundred and fifty thousand
acres would give each Indian, male
and female, adult and child, one
hundred and sixty acres, leaving
over two-thirds Of the whole terri
tory TO be sold on their account
enough to bring them, at low es-
innate, forty million dollars, or
more than five hundred dollars per
capita. Such allotment and is
suance of individual patents would
involve, of course, the dissolution
of tribal relations-another desira-
BILE step in the adjustment of the
general question; and the Indian
would thus be put upon an even
footing with the white man as to
the opportunities and advantages
of personal independence. At the
same time, the laws common
throughout the states for the pun
ishment of crime and the enforce
ment of contracts should be
extended over the territory, and
courts established to administer
them. In short, the flimsy theory
of tribal sovereignty should be
extirpated, the reservation system
replaced by fee simple grants in
severalty, the surplus lands OPEN
ed to white settlement, and the
Indians placed under the restraint
and protection of ordinary and
impartial laws, with a view TO
making them self-reliant and self
supporting"

A REMEDY SUGGESTED.

NiSITA, c. n, August 2nd, ISIS.
EDITORS CHIEFTAIE:-As it is
now becoming customary to discuss
political matters through the medi-
um Of your valuable journal per-
haps you will grant space for an
expression of my ideas, even
though they conflict with those of
the majority Of your readers. In
your last issue a correspondent
signing himself "Como" intro
duces a subject Of great import
ance. He starts off in the right
direction regarding the intruder
but the question with him is, how
are we going TO get rid of this un-
welcome visitor, as congress, or
rather the Indian department,
(though in the past repeatedly ap-
pealed to by the various delega-
tions we have sent to Washington
has offered no relief. / am Of
opinion that as we have assumed
the authority to issue permits to
citizens to work for us, instead
OF the Interior department which
formerly did so and which alone
claims the right TO determine who
are the proper parties to reside in
the Indian territory, the depart
ment has concluded that as we are
so very smart we can get rid Of the
intruders ourselves without its as
sistance. This being the case and
finding ourselves powerless to act
in the matter would it not be wiser
to leave the authority to issue per-
mits where it properly belongs, I. 9.
with the Indian department? If
so / think they will take the
the intruder and put him whore he
ought to be- Again. If our dele
gates have any influence at Wash

EDITORS CHIEFTAIN:-Please pub
lish the following. as it may be of
benefit TO some stockman who con-
templates shipping cattle. On the
10th of July l shipped AZ head of
steers and 1 COW TO the firm Of
DAILY, Miller & Co., st. Louis.
Twenty-one steers weighed 9O62-3
pounds each for which / received
$500 per hundred, and % steers
weighed S232-3 pounds each for
which l received s2.S5 per hun
dred. For the one COW weighing
$50 pounds / received $500 per
hundred. Now these steers were
two and three years old and we're
as good as any cattle of the kind
that are TO be found in this country.
When my cattle arrived at the
stock yards there were scarcely any
cattle on the market and for this
reason alone should have brought
better prices. When 7 asked for
an explanation why the prices on
my cattle were so low, the sales
man looked as much as to say,
"You had better be glad to get
anything" and would give me no
explanation at all. Now the firm
Of DAILY, Miller & Co. just beat me
out Of over 100000 ON two car
loads. In ST. Louis paper l see
the sales OF the 22nd, Of the same
number, kind, and weight of mine
brought four cents per pound.
Thore is another party in this
country who was swindled by the
same firm. My reason for pub
lishing this Is that il may save
other cowmcn from the same kind
of losses. and ] advise all shippers
10 keep clear Of DAILY, Miller q 90.

INDEPENDENCE, Kansas, is situ-
ated just without the confines of
the Cherokee nation and the citi-
zens OF the nation visit there
every day. Our trade is one of
the chief elements which have
brought success to that town. In
the face of these facts the Star and
Kansan, published there, talks
about the extinction of the Indians
as glibly and hopefully as they
would the approach of an Uncle
Toms Cabin company. Cheyennes
or Cherokees, they are Indians
still and the present standing of
the latter is possible for the former.
Rather than talk of their extinc-
tion had you not better advocate
their elevation to condition of
self support and usefulness?

such power is doubtless one of the
main considerations which led to
the adoption of the act Of February
10, 1875, chapter 90, to authorize
the Seneca nation of New York
Indians to lease lands within the
Cattaraugus and Allegheny reser-
vation and TO confirm existing
leases. The act just cited is more
over significant as showing that in
view OF the action of congress, In
dian tribes cannot lease their res
ervations without some authority
of some law of the United States.
In my opinion, therefore, each Of
the questions proposed in your let
ter should be answered in the
and 1 so answer them.

WHAT DOES THIS MEANp

In Chief Bushyhead's interview
at Kansas City (the part that was
not sent to the world by telegraph)
he said: "Sooner or later it will
be best for the Indians TO own their
property in severalty." Had any
body else in the Cherokee nation
expressed such a sentiment, the
Advocate would have devoted the
major part of its succeeding issue
to abusing him. Our chief seems
fearless as lion of criticism from
this source.

THE Cherokee Advocate says
that to allow the state of Texas to
maintain her claim to Greer
county, which it thinks should
form a part of the Indian Terri
tory, would destroy the autonomy
of both state and territory" The
editor of that sheet seems TO have
an extremely hazy idea of the
meaning of the word autonomy,
which he thus uses as synonymous
with "symmetry. ."-Independence
Star and Kansan.
"Hazy" is a good word in its
place but hardly wishy-washy
enough to indicate the normal con-
dition or the calibre of that mans
idoas-if any he has.
