THF GOLDEN ROD.

THE GOLDEN ROD.
All hail the lovely golden rod,
The dusty roadside ringing!
Midst grasses tall its gray crests nod,
The world with glory tingeing.
It's iufYy blossoms manifold,
The swampy meadows hscking,
Weave tapestry OF cloth Of gold,
The fields with spiendor decking.
Alons the dark old forests edge
The yellow plumes are streaming.
And through the thick and tangled hedge,
The golden wands are cleaning.
The lakeside slope IL all aglow,
Whore golden rod Is dropping,
Bright mlrrored In tho depths below
In many graceful grouping.

THE Dalawares are said to be
more nearly united.in opinion and
a desire TO act in harmony, than
before in long time. II is be-
lieved an arrangement will be ell
fected for the purpose Of securing
all their invested funds and all
claims, for moneys and lands. a
large majority Of the tribe are full
ly as capable of handling their
money judiciously as a like num-
Der of people anywhere, and those
who are not will never advance
much farther under the present
annuity system. To withhold
their money from those who are
able to take care ofitis certainly an
injustice and should it be conelud-
ed that some are unable, a court
could be empowered to determine
the capability Of each member o
the tribe.

SEEKING A DIVISION.

A movement is on foot and be-
ing conducted solely by Chero-
KEGS, looking to an allotment OF
such a proportion of the common
funds and lands as their number
bears to the whole population Of
the nation. Some time before the
end ef the month ii is the inten-
tion to hold a convention in Della
ware district, probably in the Vi.
cinity of Alton, at which time
plans will be formulated and ar
rangements made for a systematic
extension of the movement to all
districts in the nation. The pur-
pose is to petition congress to
make the desired division and re-
ceiye the allottees into the United
States as citizens. Petitions are
to be sent to every postoilice and
settlement in the nation for the
signatures of all citizens, male and
female, over eighteen years of age,
praying congress to act in the
premises. Should there be objec-
ton to a survey of the entire ma.
ton, it is suggested that the four
mile strip along the Kansas bor-
der, already laid of, might be set
tied first.
Another means for bringing
about the same result is being con.
sidered-that of bringing a suit in
partition. 1t is reported that a
prominent law firm has agreed Ia
bring suit Of this character in be-
half of ten persons, for a per cent
of the property secured-a con
tngent fee.
The causes bringing about 81
radical a step are as numerous Al
the parties concerned. Probabl.
the increasing population and con
sequent decrease in the value 0
each PERSONS share, is the prim'
factor. 1t is further pointed ou
that the Delawares, freedmen an'
southern Cherokees are, by treat.
stipulation, guaranteed 100 acre
each, without regard to what re
mains for the Cherokees proper.
How much strength will be dc
veloped by the movement is d
course a question, but It is claime
that in Delaware district there j
to-day a majority in favor Of divi'
ion. Whatever be the result, Gel
tain is that this endeayor has OIL
iginated from the proper source
i. e., the people.

AaRrrs WE UNCLE JOE.


Pleased to see Uncle Joe Mar
tins communication in last weeks
CaIEFTAIS. 1t is a healthy sign OF
the times when a man Of Uncle
Joe's age and influence comes out
in antagonism to the fossils, who
have so long been a detriment to
the advancement Of this nation.
How striking the contrast be-
tween what he says and the stock
in trade "gush" the sticklers for
public iayors and votes. How
sickening has become the time.
worn reasons given by the aver
age politician, "why, it will not
do to encourage the accumulation
Of wealth in the country, etc,
etc. "Too much foreign money
detrimental to us as land owning
people" "They win take your
country away from YOU" is said
by these guardians OF the people,
forgetting that they have told the
people thousand times that they
had the best title in the world.
Never we're such arguments used by
public men, 10 a sensible people
with as good an effect for the pc
cuniary interest Of the leaders
themselves. Am truly glad to see
Uncle Joe hit straight from the
shoulder, for il is now time that
every man who has an interest in
the Cherokee nation should talk
for it and the quicker the ante
quated hlatants Of semi.civiliza.

BEFORE the government settles
up the strip and all other outlying
provinces with white people, had
it not bost satisfy itself that the
Cherokees are given that TO which
they are entitlod-7 1000, 900 acres

we must have and there are good
reasons for believing the country
