SALE oF INDIAN LANDS.


In the following article the editor
of the Indiaa Journal confesses To
the evidence Of a "rapid change
taking hold of the Indian mind in
reference to their land" 1t would
be difficult to discover place
where this change has been more
"rapid" than right in the Jour
nal editors office. Why this
unseemly change ?
There is evidently a sudden
and rapid change taking hold ofthe
Indian mind in reference to their
land. Up TO a few weeks ago the
policy of 'never to sell any more
land" seemed to be universal
among all the tribes, but this SEN
timent failed first in the Octob ober
council of the Creeks by passing
the Oklahoma resolution favOring
the sale of that country. Rumors
are now ahoat to the effect that a
strong and growing sentiment now
prevails among the CherOkees To
sell thier lands west of 96 degrees.
The reason assigned for this turn
in public sentiment is to avoid
further trouble. If the United
States government would permit
the Cherokees to dispose of those
lands as they pleased without being
restricted to only sell 10 the gov
ernment. they would realize a
handsome price for them-not less
than three 10 five dollars per acre.
This would bring into their treasu-
ry perhaps over twenty millions of
dollars, which placed at the low
rate Of five per cent. interest, would
amount TO one million dollars per
annum-five times the amount Of
highest bid now offered for the
use Of said lands. These figures
show that il is TO the interest OF the
CheTokees 10 sell instead Of leasing,
provided they sro permitted TO sell
as before stated. As the govern
mcnt cannot comply with its con-

ditions Of purchase II has n9
right now to insist on priority
right to open those lands to home
stead settlement a. tho nomai plfcc
Of s1.25 per acre. Most of those
lands are rich and desirable and
would bring five dollars per acre.
II they are worth that to United
States citizens, the Cherokees
should have IL. The same might
be said respecting the Oklahoma
lends, in which the Creeks and
Seminoles alone are interested.
These lands were purchased for a
specific purpose, which purpose
has not nor cannot be comsummated
10y the government. To change
the status or these lands from an
Indian territory to government
lands without the consent of the
Indians who are parties to these
conditional cessions, would be a
national swindle and a base fraud
upon the rights Of those Indians.
Under the circumstances the gov
eminent should be content with a
reservatory right only in the pro-
ceeds ofthose lands to the extent
of purchase money with reasona-
BILE interest thereon. This would
afford tho Indians a fair opportuni-
ty to realize a fair compensation for
their lands, and at the same time
give TO the Oklahoma boomers an
equal show for the choice lands of
the Indian eden"

Mr.J. w. Bridenthal who return
ed yesterday from Baxter, where
the territorial convention was held
Tuesday, reports large attend
ance and much enthusiasm on the
subject. Large delegations were
present from Kansas City, Sedal-
ia and other points. Ex-Governor
Crittenden presided at the conven-
tion, and strong resolutions were
passed in favor of the territorial
bills before congress, and urging
that something bed one at once to-
wards the opening Of the surplus
lands in the territory for settle
ment. The st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, New York Sun and Herald
and other big papers of the coun-
try either had representatives
there, or had arranged for full pro-
ceedings ofthe convention. This
indicates veay clearly that the
opening of the territory is Il mt.
ter OF general interest to the peo-
pie of the whole nation. This
matter is Of vital interest to the
people along the border, and moth
ing should be left undone that will
bring about some action by con-
gress on this subject. Let sonc-
thing be done at once looking to
the holding of a similar conven-
ton at Chetopa. Advance.

TWO REASONS FOR oPPosI.
TION.

1t is reported that the secretary
of the interior is "holding up" the
Cherokee lease and has given no.
tice that without his approval it is
void. One of his reasons for with
holding this approval are that $780,
600 a year is too small a rental.
In this the secretary takes a di-
rcctly opposite view from that of
many prominent members of coun-
Gil. They argued and fought the
bill as being for too much. They
had set the mark at s125, 900 and
every dollar above that sum made
them squirm as though it came
out of their own pockets. The
secretary don't grasp the situation;
he don't know council has already
refused to accept an additional
So, $50 rendered upon that lease.

EDITOR CHIETAIS:-If you will
allow me a small space in your
paper | would be glad TO explain a
a little matter that took place in
the last days Of council between
the speaker and myself. Isee in a
late number of Tahlequah paper
il was reported that sd. w. Vann
was choked off from explaining
himself for the satisfaction OF the
house and all present."
The question arose in regard to a
bill which l had introduced the
day before. It's effect was to give
the Chief authority to turn $3.50
into the treasury. This bill was
ruled out by the speaker on strict
ly party vote.
A bill reached our house from
the senate providing ior a high
school for the colored children.
It was read and open for discussion
or amendment. Frank vann, my
eolored brother, as the boys call
hin. arose and opened the debate
and made a very good talk. lie
was followed BY Mr.. Neal, Of Can
adian. The next upon the floor
was myself. 1 stated that
