great Chicago fire destroyed $780,

burnt district has been replaced with

They are very anxious to 60 west to
our nation. We extend to them u
hearty welcome and say come in,
no matter how many, if you are
Cherokces, and if brother "Chero-
kee by Blood" is not willing to re-
ccive you, and he is in power here,
and ignores your rights you can do
as Watts and his followers have
done, appeal to CWzar. who has
power to protect you. We are not
certain yet that President Cleve-
Land, Secretary LAMAR and Com
missioner Atkins will go into the
enterprise referred to by brother
"Chcrokce by Blood" though we
are certain Of one thing. That bu-
rcau is the ruling power and will
protect all Indians equally alike,
no matter how they were manulac-
tured. w. j. WATTS.

WAsHISGTOS, u. C., June {, Iss6.
EDITOR CHEFTAIN:-In looking
over the columns Of the CHIErTAIS
of May the 18th, | see very spicy
piece over the signature Of "Cher-
okee by Blood" From the tone
Of his piece, he is very much sur.
prised to learn that there is an or
ganization in our nation known as
the Cherokee Indian Citizenship
association, and that it is a boom
just sprung up at Vinita. For the
benefit of brother "Cherokee by
Blood" will state that this boom
he speaks Of, is no new thing in
our nation. This association has
been organized for several years,
and is composed of Cherokees by
blood, by marriage and by treaty
stipulation, and is in no way con-
nected with the Oklahoma boom
ers, though our back is branded
we can suffer most any name at
tached to US, for a while.
The question of citizenship in
our nation is very offensive to
brother "Cherokee by Blood" so
much so that he and his followers
have ignored the right Of hundreds
Of Cherokee people who have as
much or more Cherokee blood in
their veins than brother "Cherokee
by Blood" As for w. J. Watts be-
ing the leader OF band Of intrud-
ers, / have only this 70 say: / rep
resent body Of people who are
honorable and above reproach; the
most Of whom are Cheroke Indians
who moved into this nation some
twelve or fifteen years ago under
special invitation by our authority,
who came here in good faith, know
ing that they were Cherokee In
dams aud had right to live in our
nation. A great number Of whom
to-day hold certificates Of citizen
ship from the supreme court Of the
Cherokee nation, with the sigma
ture Of Hon. j. s. Vann attached.
whose memory is to-day fresh in
the heart Of every patriotic citizen
of our nation, and these papers
have been ignored by whom? IT.
is true l have contended for the
right OF this band and will so con-
tinue. As for the plan Of manu-
featuring "Charokees by blood"

Tho following is vouched for by the best au-
thority.
One oiicor Of the district, tsalino) wishing
TO visit brother officer whom he had mover
met at bic home. amer hard days ride reach
ed his destination, the home Of his talented
colleague d" lie know he had reached the place
"a I'm front Of the house stood a new wagon,
which he had learned hla friend had just
bought. II might be well to state right here
that the owner Of the new wagon did not own
a horse in the world, what use he had for tho
wagon was o matter Of conjecture. But TO re-
turn to our friend, the visiting oficor. After
surveying the scene for few minutes, he as
ccrtained that no one was In the house.
Thinking he would ride 20 the creek, short
distance, and water his horse, what q sight
met his modest gazei About the middle Of the
stream was the absent oficer's wife with her
scanty skirts tucked safely high, catching
crawfsh, 10 coon, and scooping mp small flsh
with q corn meal sitter, now and then stopping
TO disiodge an aGectionate oraw which had
fastened 10 her fingers. After hasty and
somewhat embarrassing greeting, during
which be IL said 90 his credit, our visitor was
watching the beautiful pebbles which covered
the bottom Of this very clear stream, the lady
came ashore with her catch and invited the
visitor 20 the house The small FISH. crawnsh
and liberal amount OF water were placed In a
pot and over the fire. Our friend being phil
osopher solioquized about thusly: A life time
washing Is surely sufficient 70 make food &C
ceptablo TO the palate OF man, and why need
art attempt to improve nature; and why is Il
necessary for man 70 decrease the amount OF
food by removing the ''innermost parts Of
animals and ish before consigning them again
to the use OF nature7 But 70 make q short
story. This mixture was served TO our friend +,
and of this his supper was made and sufficient
left 10 be warmed up for breakfast. To add to
the relish OF the meal II may be well to state
that he was eating II In ~ y y shanty on the
evening OF the hottest day last week, and be-
fore the door was q half barrel OF stagnant wa
ter, perhaps a week old. A half dozen sheep
had also Just been sheared and the refuse wool
lay thick upon the porch floor. To add TO the
impressivencss Of the occasion and the relish
Of the meal, two ancient Billy goats stood
looking wstfully In Of the door. supper I'm

gathering in from every direction. Upon in
quiring he found that this was the evening set
for o dance in honor Of the big game Of quoits
pitched that day by the crack team Of Illinois
district against saline's best men The dance
was postponed and dancers departed, no doubt
having aboug the same feeling toward our
friend that an honest man has for q "dude q"
The worst OF this tale have not and will not
tell. will add, however, that our friend has
quit politics and says nothing short Of the
chieftaincy will ever tempt him again. This

utes. In some respects several of
our state constitutions could be
amended to advantage by append
ing some of the provisions of the
Cherokee constitution. "Four of
these five commonwealth the
committee says, care well prepar-
ed to take their places among the
states of the Union. If they were
all united under one constitution,
they would be admitted into the
Union as a state without any dan
ger of disturbing the harmony of
the great sisterhood of American
states or of derogating from the
honor or welfare of the federal
government. The time is near at
hand when their interests and ours
will require that this further step
must be taken, and our policy in
dealing with these people should
be carefully adapted to this result.
They have advanced nearly as far
as they can go without a helping
hand from the United States.
Their relations to the general
government should be such as to
sustain and encourage their noble
efforts to accomplish their great
task. At present our plan of deal
ing with them, which was proper
and useful while they were build
ing up, is repressiyo and injurious
to them. We cannot afford. either
to check their progress or to per-
NIT our people to 60 in upon them
and supplant them in the control
Of their own government.
"The best interests of the five
civilized tribes and the welfare of
the United States now require that
they should be brought directly
within the just and protecting in
huence Of political and judicial
powers of the United States, as far
as may be consistent with their
welfare and rights of local govern
ment guaranteed to them. Their
government should be recognized
as being in every way lawful, as
far as they do not violate the con-
stitution of the United States, and
should continue under their own
control"
The committee recommends the
creation of two divisions in the
Western Judicial District of Ar
kansas, and the establishment Of
court at or near the railroad which
extends through the territory.
"The placing Of enlightened In
dians on the jury in the federal
courts" the committee says,
"would by the first distinct recog-
milton of their capacity to exert
the duties of citizenship in the
United States in the enforcement
of the laws, and would inspire
them with an earnest zeal in sup
port of the authority of the govern
ment."
Regarding the condition of the
freedmen in the Indian Territory,
the committee says that while there
has been complaints of violations
of their rights under the treaty,
the government has manifested a
determination to secure the full
measure Of their rights. They are
in a fair way to develop into re-
spectacle citizens Of their respect
i've nations.

In MONDAYS Globe-Democrat is
a lengthy interview with Chief
Bushyaead, held in Washington,
The chief had just received a copy
OF Judge Parker's decision in the
cases of Wolfe and Ross and was
jubilant, not TO say hilarious. As
stated by the chief, this decision
completely upsets executive docu-
ment nineteen and we truly hope
this is the case. Judge Parker has
doubtless the welfare Of the Cher
okees at heart and feels that 20
hold them TO villainous outrage
attempted by Phillips and the
delegates is an injustice not TO be
permitted. While the people will
all hope the decision is as broad as
claimed, the "great cry and little
wool" over the North Carolina de-
cision will cause them to wait for
something stronger than Mr..
Bushyhead's Interpretation.
