IMPORTANT TO CHERoKEEs.

Col. Boudinot, as the attorney
for Frank Morgan, has instituted
proceedings before the secretary of
the interior, to ascertain the
boundary line at Fort Smith be-
tween the Choctaw and Cherokee
nations. 1t appears that there are
about four acres of land lying on the
south side of Arkansas river at
Fort Smith which is occupied by
Col. Campbell LAHORE, a well
known Choctaw Indian. LAHORE
claims it is within the boundary of
the Choctaw nation. Frank Nor
gan has built a house on the same
land, claiming it to be within the
Cherokee nation as described in
the Cherokee patent. The land is
worth some $4,000. Col. .Boudinot
is confident he can substantiate
Morgan's claim.

native Cherokee citizens, clrit,
political aud personal, as might or
would be held and enjoyed by such
native Cherokees, under and by
authority of the Cherokee govern
ment, at the time the said freed
men and Indians might be vested
with the rights Of Cherokee citizen
ship by the operation of said
articles-all other rights Of soil
and proceeds thereof, belonging to
the Chorokees, and which should
not then be individualized by their
government among citizens, being
understood to be vested by and to
the native Cherokee owners there
Of, and subject to be granted only
at their option, or for value
received.
Be it further resolved, that pur-
suant to said understanding Of the
10Th article Of said treaty, the
value of the lands vest Of the Ar
kansas river was not computed
and included with the proportion
Of funds to be paid by the Della
wares and Shawnees, when admit
ted as citizens Of this nation, and
that such Indians when made citi-
zens of this nation, were, and now
are, entitled to such rights only as
were realized, enjoyed and prac-
ticed by native Cherokees, as in
dividual citizens under the govern
ment of this nation, at the time
the said Indians were admitted to
to the rights Of citizenship.
Be it further resolved, that in
pursuance Of the aforesaid under
standing of this nation, the free
colored persons and freedmen de-
scribed in the said 9th article of the
treaty were admitted, and are now
entitled to those rights Of native
Cherokees only as individual citi-
zens of this nation, at the time of
the adoption of said colored per-
sons; and which rights were so
held and enjoyed under their
organized government, east Of 96
meridian, the aidindividual rights
of native Cherokees being "all"
the rights exercised by them, as
individual citizens, when said
freedmen were admitted to citizen
ship, pursuant to said 9th article;
and no rights to any land of this
nation, nor to any unrealized pro-
ceeds of any such land, was
designed or understood by the said
nation, to be conferred upon such
colored persons or freedmen; but
all such rights were understood to
be reserved by and to the owners
thereof, then and formerly consti-
tuting this nation, subject to be
afterward granted by said owners
only at their direction or for valua-
BILE consideration.

HOW IS THIs2
We give it up.

Dan Ross and Houston Benge
signed a deed to John Young Brown
for the Cherokee lands in Arkansas
for $1,000. They have never ac-
counted for a dollar of this money.
In the deed they say they are
authorized to sell the lands by the
treaty of 1917. The Cherokee ma
tion at that time was in Georgia.
This deed, let it be borne in mind
is dated in May 1866, and the
Cherokee treaty of that year was
made two months afterwards. Ross
and Benge had no shadow of
authority to sell these lands and
should be made to account for so
doing.

"Socialistic Movements in Eng
land and the United States, ," which
opens the May number Of Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, is most
timely and well written article. 1t
reviews all the ideal schemes put
forward to bring about a state
where all shall have equal enjoy
ment with the least possible labor,
where there:shall be no wealth, no
crime. The article on "Poetic
Dancing" discourses of the ballet
and its royal founder, King Louis
XIV. William Elliot Gritfis takes
a stroll through old Yeddo, and
interests us in old Japanese life.
"The Fruit ship at New York"
will surprise many who have little
idea of the enormous value and
variety Of foreign fruits that are
brought every year TO this one
port, which in this respect has no
iival on earth. "The American
Goldsmith" by Walter Edgar Nc
Cam, brings the reader TO know
and appreciate one Of the most en-
during Of American poems. "The
Old Oaken Bucket. " "Weimar-on-
the lin" tells very entertainingly
Of the city associated with Goethe,
Schiller, Herder, Wieland and
List. Mr.. Holder treats of the
"Electricians of the Sea-" the va
r
has given electricity as a defense
and a power. "The Etna Of the
Antilles" describes our nearest vol
cano, as "Stonehenge and the
Druids" recalls the long past. The
stories by Florence Marryat,
Charles J.. Hildreth, w. II. Watt,
Ellinor Brooks and others, are all
capital and the minor articles are
full of interest.

TOO MUCH LEASE.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIS:-It is a mat
ter Of interest to know something
OF the movements in our national
council-interest, l mean, to the
thinking public. For this reason /
write.
Among the most important bills
under discussion this session, is the
one providing for the lease of the
salt plains. 1t will be borne in
mind that this is a vast mineral
deposit, worth millions Of dollars
and it all belongs to the Cherokee
nation. OF course the care with
which we should guard this great
mass Of public wealth should be
somewhat in proportion to its
value-that is, we should be ex-
tremely careful of it, and cautious
as to the legislation in reference
to it.
But the bill now under discus
sion in the senate is extremely
reckless in its provisions. 1t sim
ply says the chief shall lease the
salt plains for twenty years, giving
the lessee the right Of way into the
country, for the purpose Of convey
ing their produce to market. 1t
does not prescribe where this right
Of way shall lie, or extend; nor
does it limit the number Of roads.
Under the terms Of the bill, the
lessees might well make their salt
factory a railroad center and run
railroads out TO the states in every
direction. Indeed, it is but . gen.
eral railroad bill, provided only
the salt plains shall be the center
Of the system.
There are many other objection
able features to the bill which we
cannot here have time and space to
mention
The thought Of this bill awakens
few reflections that might proper
ly enough be indulgod right here.
Our nation is just now well nigh
being eaten up by monoplies.
These monopolists are doing their
dangerous work under the cover Of
leases, franchises, &C., DC. We
have our grass leases" "coal
leases" telephone franchises, +"
and what not2 Now it is all perfect
! ly right that the national resources
of our country should be developed
and utilized, but at the same time
we should show at least little SEN
sible forecast, and practical pru-
dence in the manner of our doing
of It. We are in the habit Of exc
cutting lease covering a million or
so of acres, with as little concern
as a housewife would show
in battering a dozen eggs.
This is all wroAg; criminally
wrong. The salt bill now before
the council illustrates this reckless
spirit Of our leaders. We may find
further examples at pleasure.

THAT part ofthe instructions to
the delegation, which, as a gnat,
the chief can't swallow, requires
an expression, it can be obtained
by the delegation, from the secre-
tary Of the interior and the con-
gress Of the United States as to the
facts in relation to the 100000
transaction. The word, "readjust"
is employed to define the duty and
authority of the delegation in
reference TO such matters as need
overhauling, and is defined to
mean almost anything from COM
mitting rape to selling the country,

A LITTLE more than a year ago
the efforts of Col. Boudinot to ex-

that the affair would only amount
to ga sensational splutter." A few
more such splutters would be a
good thing for the Cherokee people.
