believe in justice being meted
out to the humble az we'll az the ex-
alted. There are many very grave
questions that demand the earnest
consideration of the coming coun-
Gil, and the proper consideration
and disposition Of those questions,
will aid us considerably ia the re-
tanning Of our nationAli'y as a
people. While on the oSaer hand
blind legislation, and common in
difference, which are two Of the
peculiar CHARACTERISTICS Of our coun-
Gil, will have a tendency TO detract
from our intelligence as highly
civilized nation. We consider it
unnecessary indeed, that our coun-
Gil while away its time and COM
pell the necessity Of calling an
extra session, only to make the
appropriation for carrying on our
government, regardless of other
important qestions demanding at
their hands considerate legislation.
As we before remarked the people
should keep their eyes open as to
who they will send to Office. The
perpetuity of our nation lies
wholly with the people themselves.
Then let the Cherokee people go
to the polls and vote solidly for
those men whose character and i'm
tegrity is unquestionablo. Then,
and not till then, is our nations
safety guaranteed.

FROM A TRAVELLER.

NEosHo, Mo, July s0 lss5
While travelling through your
beautiful country we observed a
great change both in the improved
condition and the almost entire
change in the views of your people
in regard to their landed interests.
1t has been ten years since my
last visit. AT that time it was
dangerous in some localities to
talk of selling land belonging to
the Cherokees. A man was liable
to be assassinated for this pre-
sumption, but how mark the
change that has taken place. We
find everyone discussing land
matters and all other national
matters in an intelligent and forci-
BILE manner. Even the full bloods
are openly in favor OF selling their
lands west of SO, as they call il.
We are told the Cherokees are
offered, or can get the offer of 81. 90
per acre for this body of land
which comprises some six million
acres. At this price it would pay
each Cherokee something over
$1,000, which would enable them
all to improve and make them
selves spendid homes in the coun.
try where they now live. We wish
were we an Indian. 1t used TO
be "Lo the poor Indian" but now
1T is, 10 the poor white man.

rHE TWO PLATFORMS.

The Independent and the Down
ing parties have published their
platforms in the CHIEFTAIN and
they appear quite well. They are
very long and broad, consisting in
the main of sweeping, delusive
generalities. They are extremely
faulty on the specific and live
issues Of the campaign. Take for
instance the land selling question.
The first article of the Independent
platform stands thus:
ave declare against selling one
foot of Cherokee soil for white
settlement, and we declare we will
not support any man for member
Of our council who will not pledge
himself TO vote and work against
the acceptance Of this proposition
10 sell our lands at a price less
than one-fourth of their market
value"
The Independent party here
gives us 10 understand that they
would be willing TO sell our land
for any other purpose than "white
settlement" for instance, to a
cattle company, roal estate COM
pany, or TO a private company of
spectators. II also gives us to
understand that the Independent
party would be willing to sell for
any price above one-fourth Of the
market value of the land. So
much for the Independent plat
form on this main question of the
campaign. The Downing platform
is fully as bad as this if not worse.
Hear il:
""We are opposed 10 the sale Of
our lands west Of the Goth merid-
ian at forty-seyen cents per acre,
because said price was arbitrarily
set upon said lands by the president
without the authority and sanction
Of law or treaty on our part"
But what if the government
should offer the Downing party
forty-eight cents or more per acre.
by their platform they would be
Al liberty 10 sell. Judging by
their platform they are not anti
landsellers. They are only waiting
for . sufficient price. The ma
iionsl party stands upon this
question, thus;
''We are opposed 10 selling our
land except such tracts as might
lie east d the Mississippi river at
any time or for any price, and we
Nlll 30 ali IN our power 70 defend
tknm, ard 10 preserve them for
the use oi the Cherokee people

EDIroRs CHIETTAIS.-As the day
Of election draws nigh il is nsces-

their eyes open as 10 who they

A FoRr RENO dispatch says;
There is a feeling Of universal
satisfaction here among the In
dians at the action Of the president
in appointing a new agent from
the army TO take charge of their
affairs, and his proclamation or
dering the removal Of the cattle
men has practically settled the
discomfort that heretofore existed.

The cowmen on the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reserve propose to
show President Cleveland that he
has made grand mistake in
issuing his proclamation against
them. In reality they simply
bribed the Indians into permitting
or assisting them to violate the
statutes Of the United States. 1t
is high time they were brought to
account for their deeds of this
character.

CHIEF BUsHYHEAD told the Kan
sas City newspaper reporters that
the leasing of the Cherokee strip
was satisfactory TO his people.
We supposed that this gentleman
was chief of all the Cherokees-or
at least majority. This habit a
number of our prominent people
have of going to Kansas City and
romancing before the reporters, is
a powerfully bad one.

The whole matter is now before
congress for consideration, and on
the Sd day OF March following, the
100000 was appropriated. This
il the act.
"That the sum Of three hundred
thousand dollars is hereby appro-
priated to be paid into the treasury
Of the Cherokee nation, out Of
funds due under appraisement for
Cherokee lands west Of the Arkan-
sas river, which sum shall be
expended as the act of the Chero-
kee legislature directs, the amount
to be Immediately available, pro-
yided, that the Cherokee nation

trust only for the benefit of the
Pawnees, Poncas, Nez Perces,
Otoes, Missourias and Osages now
occupying said tract, as they re-
spectiyely occupy the same before
the payment Of said sum Of
money"
This act explains itself. It's the
final stroke, too, finishing up this
whole transition. II is law; it is
an act Of the law making power Of
the United States. Its authority is
supreme and no mans word or
opinion, however great name he
may be blessed with, can prevail
against il. II is idle for Mr..
Phillips to pirate about what he
said or did in the premises before
or after this law was enacted. 1t

Of the interior or the president Of

All fair-minded, liberal Democrat
who love fair-play more than Demo
cracy, will agree with Councilman Far
rsll that ex-CouncilmAn James Lynn
has not had fair play in his contest FOL
a seat in Council. II is very easy fol-
the Democratic m sj ority of City Council
to SUM marily dismiss Mr.. Lynn's peti
tion for a re- e-count OF the ballots in the
ballot-box of the east district of tn,
Ninth Ward, but that does not SHOW
that Mr.. Barnhill Is honestly elected
1t would have been very easy task K
have opened the box and TO have count
ed the tickets and the refusal to 90 thai
far in an honest investigation is the
strongest kind of evidence that the
Democratic mem mbers of Council knew
very well that a recount of the ballots
would elect Mr.. Lynn. The counting
of the ballots would have been the first
and most important step Il. have taken.
These counted, basis Of the vote for
an Intelligent contest would have been
established, after which, illegal votes, il
any, could have been rejected, an ! legal
votes. If any were refused, could have
been added. Throughout all this con-
test there has not been the least disposi-
tim manifested by the majority in
Council to take the shortest and most
consistent course to ascertain the true
vote cast. The frst thing any sensible
man, uninnuenced by partisanship,
would say in a contest of this kind
would be Count the ballots over and
see who is elected" but this is just
what the majority in Council has
fought against ever since Mr.. Lynn
his seat.
At the first it looked very much as
II Mr.. Barnhill had been elected. but
the persistency with which the Demo-
Gratis have opposed the only correct and
sensible way to arrive at the truth of
the matter has dispelled every doubt Of
the election OF Mr.. Lynn. Mr.. Barn
hill Of course will be permitted to re.
tain his seat in Council if he sees proper
to fill it, but how such a fair-minded
gentleman as we have given him credit

thing we cannot understand. He should
