THE PRRsIpHNT,s VIEWS.

Replying to a resolution of re-
monstrance against the Danish.
ment of the Indian language
from the government schools. J
adopted by the Philadelphia Con.
ference, President Cleveland
writes
"The government seeks in its
management Of the Indians to civ.
ilize them and to prepare them for
that contact with the world which
necessarily accompanies civiliza-
ton, manifestly what is more inn
portant to the Indian than a
knowledge Of the Indian language.
All the efforts Of those having the
matter in charge tend to the ulti-
mate mixture of the Indians with
our other people, thus making one
community equal in all these
things which pertain to American
citizenship; but this ought to be
done while they are entirely igno-
rant Of the English language. I'll
seems to me it would be u cruel
mockery to send them out into the
world without the shield and with
out the weapon to force their way
to self-support and independence.
Nothing can be more consistent. |
then, than to insist upon the teach
ing Of English in onr Indian
schools. 1t will not do to permit |
these wards Of the nation in their
preparation to become their own |
masters, TO learn their own barba-
rous language because it is easier
for them and because it pleases
them"

ton may be questioned. In the
first place lease is too much like
a salary. There is no chance fol
an increase Of pay, although the
value of the lease may have in
creased to twice its original worth
No one need be scared, because
the strip lands for grazing purpos-
es are and will continue to be in
demand. There is no possible
chance for the demand to become
less, as long as cattle must be
grazed, and the markets.of Kansas
City, Chicago, st. Louis and all
the cities of the north and east
must be supplied with beef
This kind of a proposition may
be considered by cattlemen: Is il
not better to lease at reasonable
price the strip lands, than to pay
one dollar per head or yacate the
?

OLD sRTTT,TRS

Maj. ]. NJ. Bryan sends ue, with
a request for publication, the fol-
lowing letter from w. w. Will
shire, attorney for the Old Set
tiers, dated Washington, March 81:
DEAR SIR AS l wrote you be-
fore, our Old Settler bill stands as
the unfinished business of the
house, when the Indian committee
is again reached on the call dur
ing the morning hour for the con-
sideration OF bills from that COM
mittee, which will be, Mr.. Peel
thinks, within three weeks. In
the senate the bill was reached
last Monday on the call of the cal
endar under the five minute rule
and passed over, retaining its place
on the calendar, which under the
rules leaves it where it can be
called up by a majority vote Of
the senate. Thus YOU will see
that we are now out of danger of
going by this session, Of the pas
sage Of the bill in both houses.
The claim is in safe condition.
Never has it been so far advanced
at this stage Of congress or had
such certainty Of passage since it
has been before congress. You
may safely assure your people
that their claim will be settled and
paid at 10 very distant day. l
will advise you as | progress with
he case. hope your health is
better and that you will be here in
lime to bring the suit in the courts.

Prior the council of Nice in thc
year 325 the early christians cele.
brated the 18th day of the lunar
month that falls on or follows tn c
day Of the vernai equinox, or the
2lst OF March, when the sun cross
es the equator. But most Of the
christian churches celebrated
Easter on the Sunday following
tho 18th day of The month Of
March. The council of Nice
adopted for Easter celebration the
first Sunday on or after the first
full moon following the Dist of
March, when the days and nights
are equal all over the world.
That day is accepted by the
christian church everywhere as
the proper on which to celebrate
the resurrection of Christ on the
third day from his crucifxion,
which was on Friday, called Good
or Holy Friday.
Good Friday is the day which
many people select for putting in
their "garden truck" and not
without reason for so doing, if
the fact is considered that spring
has then actually set in, and per-
haps pretty well advanced, should
the moon be just new or on the
wane when the vernal equinox
takes place. If such is the case
Easter may come as late as the
25th of April. and as early as the
22nd of March, If the moon so |
wills it. The moon is a changa- |
BILE thing anyhow and nothing bet
ter need be expected.
For selecting Good Friday as
day on which to plant "truck |
patches" no reason is given by
hundreds who select the day for
that purpose, only because it is
Good Friday, the day on which
Christ was crucifed.

OBJECTS TO sPRINeER's BILL.
Remaining Area OF Land too
Small-Proposed Price Ditto.


Mr.. EDIToR:-I see from the
Congressional Record that the
Springer bill has been reported by
the committee on territories. II
is open to the usual objections Of
all bills to form a territory of
Oklahoma; it takes for public use.
that is for white settlement, about
fourteen million acres of Indian
lands held by patents in fee sim
pie, by paying a tithe of their mar
kct value. Mr.. Barnes, Of Geor.
gia, offers n substitute, which bill
while protesting to be friendly TO
the Indians, indirectly accomplish
os the same end. Mr.. Barnes bill
provides that the government ap-
point commissioners 10 negotiate
with the Cheyennes, Arrapahoes,
Wichitas, Commanches, Kiowas
and Apaches, for their removal TO
the east Of the 9Sth degree, which
policy will crowd all The Indians
on the lands now held and owned
by the five civilized tribes. All
lands west Of the 9Sth degree be
thrown open for white settlement.
The substitute also provides that
the lands ceded by the five tribes
be paid for in a sum not to OK.
ceed one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre. If Oklahoma was
Of the western portion
of the Indian Territory it would
relieve the pressure on the five civ
ilized tribes but short time. III
we are to be subjected 10 the pack
ing process in order TO utilize
space, a majority Of us would pre-
fer civilized and enlightened
whites for our next door neigh
bors, with the actual value of our
lands paid directly by the govern
ment 10 the people. No bill, ter
rltorial or otherwise, that looks !
to the surrender Of valuable lands |
by the Indians 10 the United |
States for sl.25 per acre will meet /
Ihe favor OF the five tribes, They |
nave inherited the love Of land |
from their white ancestors. and |
have been partially educated to
snow their value.

CTTTzENSHTP


To the great misfortune of the
Cherokee nation the status OF
every man, woman and child in il
has been neglected SO long that it
may as well be acknowledged that
tits now impossible to determine
correctly the legal rights of hun
dreds, perhaps Of thousands, who
claim Cherokee citizenship. All
administrations have equally failed
to handle this question with that
vigor and determination that its
importance and seriousness has
demanded. Years ago, when
facts as TO the rights of every resi-.
dent OF this nation could have been
ascertained, the status of every
citizen ought to have been deter
mined, and of every one who
claimed such rights on any ac-
count whatever.
There is now prospect that all
claims to citizenship will reach a
quietus. That this should be the
case is the necessity to meet the
issue thati is getting more serious
by the reason Of the increased
number of claimants and their en-
croachments. The absolute right of
the Cherokee nation TO determine
questions of citizenship, and the
limit placed by reason of that au-
thority to the time in which claims
may be presented TO the commits
sion, has produced an impetus in
the citizenship business that must
be disposed of to avoid further COM
plications in our affairs, and to rid
the country of all intruders and
rejected claimants to citizenship.
The license heretofore granted
by the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, on Prima faeie evidence, TO
claimants to citizenship to reside
in the Cherokee nation, will
terminate by the action of the
commission on citizenship. There
is no way to dodge its authority.
There are hundreds, perhaps, of
Improvements, more or less yalua- ,
BILE made by claimants to citizen
ships. The law Of the Cherokee ma.
tion gives those who have erected
improvements and fail to establish
their claims, 80 days to dispose OF 7.
such improvements, but should
they neglect or refuse to take ad-
vantage OF tho privilege, the
sheriff may advertise and sell for f,
them. This cannot be SO construed
That anyone who may set up a
claim TO citizenship has any right :
by reason of his claim TO erect an
improvement with the expecta. !;
tion Of getting pay for it. The :
law is partial submission TO the
requirement of the commissioner
oflndian affairs that the nation :.
must pay for the improvements of !
those who have made them under r
\ Primd facie right to citizenship
and permission OF the commission. !,
sr There can be no legal right or n
ustice in such requirement 9,
