Duty vnRsTIs RIour

DUTY VERSUS RIGHT.
The Globe Democrat says. "Mr.
J. Milton Turner appeared before
the senate committee with refer
ence to the bill to make restitution
TO the Cherokee freedmen. Chief
Bushyhead appeared at the same
time to ask for a hearing in op-
position TO the bill. The commit
tee agreed to hear both"
The time when the intellectual
bout was to have taken place ac-
cording to the above programme
has passed, but with what result it
is not known. Our chief may have
appeared by proxy, if appearance
was made at all. Mr.. Turner,
doubtless, signifed himself IN pro-
pria persona, and ready for the
contest. In this age of progress
and unprecedented civil and polit-
ical relations, the occasion must
have been an unusually interesting
one.
The contradictory position occu-
pied by the chief, here as a politi-
clan, and in Washington as a self.
constituted defender Of a law he
once pronounced unjust, places him
in rather an awkward relation to
the two extremes he alternates be-
tween as circumstances require.
To be compelled to 60 back on
himself and take up a line that
duty requires that he should, to
which the law and one class of our
citizens hold him, and another, by
reason OF their rights he has here
tofore maintained as being theirs,
is a distressing position somewhere
between a sweat and a desire for
immediate relief. The circum-
stances that have forced him to the
opposite extreme of his home pol
icy are the fruits of no delegation
to attend TO our business in Wash
ington, for which he is to blame as
much as the senate, If not more.
His presence, just at the nick of
time, when such action would be
required of him, in a place where
his supposed knowledge of a dis
affair has compelled him
to be, has its origin in a matter he
should have avoided as a deadly !
pestilence. From one wrong step |
deliberately taken, from which /
here seems to have been no pow
sr or disposition TO recover, a long
rain of circumstances, at ench adj
rance growing worse, has unset
led the peace Of the country and
,aused the loss of confidence where
t was only implicitly placed by the
people. Three years will soon
lave passed since fraud was per-
,etrated upon the people, out Of
which have grown the complaint Of
'ur adopted citizens, the criminal
harge against Phillips, the cree
ion OF caste lines, revival Of old
,reiudices, and many other troub-
es that surely would have been
.voided, had q different cause,
Wholly consistent with the facts Of
he case, been pursued in relation
o the $500, 900.
Where he is, the chiefs duty is
plain before him. lie cannot DO !
otherwise than defend what the
aw has done and required, even if
he has TO do it in person, and to
pit himself in argument with j.
Milton Turner. What he main
tanned was the right, he now has
to oppose as the wrong, because
law is considered to be expression
of Justice.

UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT DECISION.

The late decision of the supreme
court in the North Carolina Chero-
kee case against the Cherokee
nation is all that can well be desir-
ed il should be, if what we see Of
it in the papers is correct. What
is fun and rejoicing to US is not, by
a heap, fun to the parties who have
emerged from the attcnuated ex-
tremity Of the cornu. AS the long
controversy has ended in the
recognition of our governmental
powers and rights, we may be ex-
eused for any immoderate express
sions Of rejoicing, because such a
recognition by the highest legal
authority on the continent may and
should control any action by con-
gress in relation to rights so main
tanned by the court, such as the
organization Of the territory OF
Oklahoma, the allotment of lands
and other measures that are not
authorized by the decision. The
C,urt deserves our everlasting graf
itude for such an impartial decree,
although, as far as our land title
is concerned, is q reiteration Of the
court in the Joy-Holden case.
Thus our title is affirmed and
reafirmed, despite the opinion of
the neighboring press, and our
tenure in common.
The decision likewise vests the
authority in the nation TO deter
mine claims TO citizenship in the
country. This being the case all
decisions Of such claims hereafter
will be final, and no interference
by any authority at Washington
will intervene TO prevent what
will be done in strict accord with
the right as conceded by the court.
As held by the chief in his message
To the council last November, it is
yet maintained, and more SO since
the decision has been rendered,
that the national council can, if il
is SO disposed, reject any claimant
even though a full Cherokee, anC
withhold from him the rights o
citizenship. He can literally be al
intruder upon soil to which he i
entitled by heritage and the guar
antee Of the treaties.
The North Carolina Cherokee
are, If this is SO and the counci
should take It into their heads I

dcet5e gives tlt Ration in This
matter There are other rights
outside the Cherokee constitution
and which cannot be ignored by the
council--the rights which belong
to every Cherokee under a guaran-
tee of treaty. Whom the courts
decision is received, this point will
be carefully considered and COM
mented on.

BUNcn, assistant and acting
principal chief, has done just as
the people expected be would do,
if he had a chance. Upon what
contingency he oonvenes the coun-
Gil he sets not forth in his procla-
nation. The occasion extraordi-
nary will be mentioned in his
message or in that of Bushyhead's
should he get home in time to
assume authority. The decision
of the supreme court in the North
Carolina Cherokee case has,
doubtless, something to do with
the calling ofcouncil. The right as
conceded by the court to the nation
to settle claimssto citizenship viii
result in the creation by council of
commission on citizenship. The
per capita distribution of the grass
money will receive, perhaps, diff
ferent treatment, if the courts
includes, with the right to
claims to citizenship,
the right likewise to dispose of any
monies in any way the council may
see fit. Such inference will, like
", be drawn from the decision,
md there is no telling to what ex-
tremes it may be carried. Back of
all abuse of authority stand the
people, and right must be done.

LAST Thursday, week ago, a man
by the name of Thornton, while on
his way to the female seminary
after a sick niece, was overtaken
by a FIRE, his wagon burned TO
ashes and his horses TO death, he
and his wife and child barely escap-
ing the same fate. As they were
driving along the road just beyond
Ballard's saw mill, on top of high
hill, they were caught in a fire
that was raging through the woods,
and driven by a wind that warped
the trees, filled the air with sitting
smoke and blazing leaves. The
horses refused to move, but reared
and plunged and fell entangled in
the harness, and in a very short
time were burned to death.
