on Tuesday. SRI. or. "the very latest. 4" We'd
nesday the lth, on which day the house ae-
quiesced in the slA0, 900 amendment and sent
the ratified bill or resolntlon mp to the chief,
who took II under advIsement, and the next
three days were spent in waiting on the chiefs
movements. and as we all know the old saw.
large BODIES move slowly" our chief ia In
no special hurry TO close In with the eise, 900
bill. His head IL level and he knows what he
ls doing, for no sooner was that bill received
by him but he had . raise Of el0, 900, and on
saturday he was heard to say he hsd just re-
ceived a genuine, bonsned bid OF ei75 900, the
cash 20 be paid down 10 our treasurer. The
news to-day, 9th, is that parties will be here
and will plbak down an even e200, COO Thus
the dear people" will see the situation
grows more and more interesting. A clear
gain Of s75, 900 per annum, which Chief Mayes
has saved for them by his vetoing the elz5 900
bid on the drst day OF last February, which
was passed over the veto In the senate on Feb
ruary srd, but failed In the house on the 9Th
BY the vote OF the immortal nfteen.

Ing process. The disgraceful scenes OF last
February are not forgotten. The e4OO paid for
one vote, the heroulean struggles Of a losing
sIde TO defeat the will cf thu people, all these
have gone into Cherokee history, burned In
too deeply TO be ehaced. And now a. We
stand on the Threshold OF the third week Of
this called council. what is the outlooh7 De-
cidedly gloomy for the disappointed soreheads. |

Of getting the bggest~ dollar we can, As any
other man. This sIS5. 900 Is the very highest,
the last, the very biggost dollar we can expect
to get. No other responsible company will
ever give any more. II we don't take this we
will get nothing. The grass will only burn
up and blow away, and our poor people will
realize nothing" and 90 on and 90 forth, for .
good hour. But now u looks q good deal As
though 10 will be something else besides the
grass that will be wasted and blown away.
How does $500 900 compare with slsk. .OO0f II
looks 10 us as though gain OF e65, 900 in slx
days is pretty big feather in the chi6f's cap,
and we would be willing to see him hold them
under his thumb another ak days 10 he can
possibly save for the people yet smother e25,
900 or $50 900 more. This is now swinginE
round into line with our ehisrs policy TO ad-

leaders have fought so bitterly and long
They were determined not 10 give a shanee for
open, free bidding, but II ioota now as though
