In which there we're many doubts
as to how to take hold and to "sun
the moccasins" of a question in
such way that the question would
be settled for all time TO come.
The main purpose Of the bill is
to compel owners Of Texas or other
foreign cattle to keep them under
herd, and Off the premises of citi-
zens who may object to their pres
ence. 1t is retrospective in as
much as il includes cattle that
were brought in since March 3ist,
and imposes i penalty il not so
herded. The act goes immediate
ly into effect, although it prescribes
a new requirement with a penalty
for its non-performance. The PEN
atty is that all such cattle running
at large upon the public domain
shall be considered as strays and
sold after twenty days notice as
strays. In this big speculation
is arranged for the nation and
sheriffs. If the buyers Of such cat
tie do not keep them under herd
they can be advertised and sold
again to the highest bidder. AS
the advertising and sale goes on
ad infnitWm as long MS such cattle
are permitted to run at large, or
until they are shipped out of the
country or beeiod, OF die from
change Of owners.
If the officers were TO construc
the act Independently Of the stray
law this certainly would be the
consequence, noncompliance with
the intended law considered. But
if construed together, there would
be such continuous rounding up,
advertising and releasing of cattle
that citizen and officer would damn
the law and cease to execute it.
When such cattle are advertised as
strays, under the new law, in exe-
cution Of its penalties, the stray
law steps in and releases them
when the owner satisfies the proper
officer that they are his. This the
officer is bound to do. II after be-
ing released, the cattle arc let Tun
at large, they can be taken mp
again and again released in the
same way, and so, crane and eel
like, the fun goes on until both
parties get tired and say, "let US
quit" "
II cannot be maintained that the
nation through its lawmakers oan
prescribe penalties for that which
they make offenses, and fill its
Golfers at the misfortune Of those
who may not or who are unable to
comply with their enactments.
This is another objection to this
would-be law.

they could secure tho lease by a
specified sum, il would be their
best policy TO do so. Competition
is just what they don't want.
Time and circumstances may cause
them to ante few thousand more,
If they are able to stand 1t.
The council bill to lease TO the
highest bidder was defeated in the
senate by strictly a party vote.
The s150,0O0 may not satisfy the
house with the senato's action in
"tomahawking" their bill, and
they may yet favor the advertising
plan by returning the compliment.
In the afternoon the $3.50, 900
bill was sent from the senate TO the
house and there was some lively
discussion following its reception.
Mr.. Neal, of Canadian, offered an
amendment of $4,000 more. tits
yet pending, aud hcw 5000, 600 will
set on the stomachs OF those who
are opposed to the advertising plan
is yet to be seen.
The question this morning is:
win the house reject the amend
mcnt and close in on the $3.50, 900,
or contend for letting to the high
est bidderl
LATEST. The report is that the
house acquicsced in the $3.50, 900
amendment.

Wednesday, July 4.-Y Yesterday
was another rousing day in the
Cherokee legislature. The bill
that was pending in the senate was
amended by raising the s135, 600,
the amount proposed for grazing
on western lands, 10 $4,000.
Why this was done may be attrib-
uted to the almost unApimous pas
sage Of bill in the house TO lease
to the highest bidder. The si5,-
600 amendment to the senate bill
may have been intonded'to put an
end to-further controversy as TO the
manner Of disposing of tho lease
by satisfying the house that $780,
600 was enough, and to induce
them 10 go back ON their bill TO
lease to the highest bidder. Some
thing must be done 10 arrest the
action Of the house, and this was
aboat as good n plan az any. BY
the advertising plan there is a
strong probability that the old
lessees would he lost in tho fog OF
abler bidders than they are, and il

Tuesday, July 3.-There was a
general unlimbering Of guns yes
terday morning in the senate.
The roar, sweat and iume were
tremendous. To one standing at
the back ond Of the chamber the
appearances were those OF a raging
cyclone, thunder and general de-
struction. The corpsos Of man
gled ideas lay in invisible heaps
around, as the contending hosts
mingled in polemical war. Mr..
Benge had introduced a bill to
lease the strip grass for s135,000,
which was an improvement on the
old bid Of last council by $4,000.
80 much for the chiefs veto. Ii
would be q good thing to veto ten
or fifteen more of such bills. At
$4,000 apiece the nation would
get something near the real value
of the grazing. The day in the
senate was only productive of
thunder, while in the house things
were different. A good deal of
thinking was done in there, result
ing in the passage of a bill, intro
ducod by Mr.. Neal, of Canadian,
to lease to the highest bidder.
The vote was almost unanimous,
only two dissenting. The bill is
so reasonable and fair in its pro.
visions that no one could we'll ex-
cuse himself for voting against it.
1t provides that bids be made in
duplicate. One TO the chief and
the other 10 the treasurer, and
that the rental be paid per capita,
at the direction OF tho national
council.
How the senate will receive the
bill can only be imagined by the
effect Of the councils action on the
members The vote, when party
lines arc closely drawn in the
house, is tie Only two OF the
Nationals voting against tho bill,
the moral effect can but have its
influence intho senate.
Tho result will be reached TO-
day probably.
