me, not as a person desirous of

At this late day public opinion
is moulded through the press and
it is the medium through which

be brief and plain.
That the United States govern
ment is playing through certain

me TO be the reality Of this move.

THE LAWS INTERPRETER PER
.mwur

taAAA ME-
The old law, prescribing the
manner Of finding indictments by
preliminary trial, was rescinded by
the last council and substituted by
another authorizing the solicitor TO
convene the grand jury in such
cases as he may decide to be emer-
gencies or of the same nature that
required immediate investigation
before the district clerk, under the
old law. Cases, fos which indict-
ments wero found in the old way,
remaining untried until after the
new was substituted, are causing
some doubts in the minds of tie
country's judiciary, rs to whether
or not such cases should be dis
missed and be Reconstructed under
the new law. Just exactly where
the point OF controversy comes in
between the old and new methods,
or legal differences exist as irrec-
oncilable in the further prosecu-
tion of the cases, without begin
ming de moro, only those deep in
the laws mysteries can toll. The
why's, and the wherefores. and the
therefores for any positive con-
flict between the two, as TO further
proceedings in such cases, without
ignoring a law while it was in
force, which the court must nec-
essarily do if the cases are dis
missed, is enough to puzzle the
oldest. If such cases ought to be
dismissed and Reconstructed, it
would seem that IL new law does
not begin from the cate of its birth
to assume authority, but before.
The principle must be accepted
that what an agent has begun to
do ceases with the dismissal of
the agent and to be gone over de
moro, if another is appointed.
1t is a good thing that every
body are not lawyers, if they were
what a-time we'd have.

enemies, whom it is patriotism 70
plunlir.
Bus there are not a few who
prompted by the spirit of chris
tianity, cherished for your people,
feelings Of fraternal regard, and
are moved with compassion for the
remn ant Of race whom the hard
decree of fate has despoiled of
their heritage, and however much
we may deplore the injustice done
you by our people in the past, the
wrong cannot be rectifed by us,
further than to join hands with
you in faithful endsavor to pre- :
vent its repetition.
Experience is teaching US what
you learned from common sense;
that farming is a failure on these
plains except in favored spots. The
result of its attempts in Kansas
has demonstrated the wisdom of
your policy, and proved that the
ownership Of the land by the peo-
pie in common, and managed by
the state, is the true policy and
the only one practicable in a coun-
try like this. The result of the
severalty system in this state has
had the effect to pass nearly all OF
the real estate over to non-resi-
dent capitalists, from whom the
former owners have TO rent il at
high rates. Instead of leasing
that which is only fit for range TO
cattle owners, but this makes no
opening for money lenders, hence
the howl about homes for the
homeless
Allow us to suggest that ii the
valley lands, with a fair pro-
portion Of range connected with it,
were leased for agricultural pur-
poses it would do away with the
claim that such lands are kept out
Of use by those who need them.
There are many good citizens
among us, who believe that the CO.
operation system is superior TO the
competitive, both econmically and
morally-that society organized
upon that basis would secure the
highest degree of peace and pros
perity. Ii the scheme meets your
appreciation, we could secure
enough settlers to occupy all the
tillable lands demanded by the ter
ritorial bill. Such an association
would rather have your nation
hold the land than to have it incor
porated into state, provided we
could secure il at reas enable rate,
and be allowed to control our do
mestic affairs in our own way
Your form of government would
be more favorable for such an en-.
terprise than to be subjected &c
the expensive and corrupt govern
ment of a state. While this ar.
rangementmig fortify you in your
rights, it would not interfere with
your lease to cattle men. = 4

REASONS FOR SELLING.

ALLUwE. I. T.. April S, 1850.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-I am in fa-
vor of selling the outlet. This
question is in the mind Of every
citizen, and as we came so near
losing that country during last
congress, think the matter should
be settled by vote of the people.
| learn on good authority that our
chief said while in Washington
that it was sure to come-that is,
the government was sure to have
it. Now if that was his idea while
there, why not let the people know
it2 Common sense teaches that
we can do better on friendly terms
than we can if forced to terms.
We all know we cannot live out
there. That being The caSe I
think If we can get $500 an acre,
or more, we should let it go, for
'twould take over seventy.five
years for it to raise us that amount,
at the present rate of 100000 a
year. / think it is impossible to
stand as an Indian nation half that
long, or one-tenth. By selling we
would be able to educate our chill
dren without sending them to
school as paupers. As it is, our
schools are rich mems schools on
ly-unlcss we make paupers Of
our children. As for me, / never
expect one of my children to enter
one of our seminaries by taking
any such oath as the one required.
| will hold my head head up, if |
die hard.
Now say, call tho people to-
gether and let them say sell or not.
If they make a mistake either way,
they can blame no one but them
selves. S. NICHOLSON,
A Cherokee.

MANsUR's PLAN OF ATTACK,
On Cherokee Rights and Cherokee
Lands.

After reviewing Oklahoma and
giving Secretary Villas letter to
Chief Mayes, Congressman Man
sur says:
This letter or notice explains
itself. The csttlemen took their
lease or contract with their eyes
open; they evidently concluded
the profit was sufficient to compen-
safe in taking the risk, the more
especially as they know all con-
tracts made with Indians in this
country, not expressly authorized
by the statutes of the United
States, are void, and that when
they leave with their cattle that
ends the obligation TO pay, so far
as the courts are concerned.
Do the United States statutes
authorize Indians Of any class to
lease their lands? As conclusive
upon this 1 refer TO the opinion of
Attorney General Garland, issued
July 21, 1885. He states that no
lease can be approved by either
the president or secretary of the
interior without an act Of congress
authorizing such leases and points
to the fact that no such law ex-
ists. He therefore holds all graz
ing leases on the Cherokee strip
void.
What modes Of solving this
question are open to the United
State?
First-An acceptance by the
ChSrokees Of the proffer Of the
government on the same terms as
were given to the Creeks for their
lands.
Second-Ths location by the
United States Of friendly Indians
on tho outlet at the price of 47.49
cents per acre, under the treaty of
1866, which is still in force, and
under the terms Of which the gov
ernment has heretofore located the
Indian tribes OF Nez Perces, Pom
cas-, 0toes ct al. at that price.
Third-As it is plain under the
law and from Senator McDonald's
argument TO the senate committee
that the Cherokees can sell 10 no
party except the government, un-
less by its consent, and as it is
plain from Attorney Garland's
opinion that tho Cherokees can
not lease these lands Of which the
cattlemen had full notice from
Secretary Villas, and as Attorney
General Deysns held. that the
cherokesScould not settle any Of
their own nation on the lands Of the
outlet. and farther held that 40 per-
SON attempting TO settle on these
lands could justify under any au-
thority given by the Cherokee ma
ton; and finally as United States

Purposes.

Gentlemen living at El Dorado,

Mayes;
We are gratiiied TO know that
SO far your rights have been res

Of your people heretofore, as we'll

fear that the clamor Of the selfish
and INSCRIPTIONS populaoe may
prevail with The authorities as in

looked upon By many as 1atural

Circuit Judge Brewer in 1887 held
"that the lands of the outlet we're
not territory for residence but for
passage ground, over which the
Cherokees might pass TO all the
unoccupisd domain west" there is
in my opinion ncthing--absolutely
nothing-to prevent the president
from issuing bis proclamation or
dering and directing all cattlemon
with their cattle to vacate tho out
let at thirty days notice and use
the military to enforce the terms
Of the proclamation, just as is be-
ing done now to keep the boomers
from settling in Oklahoma prior
to April %, and just as President
Cleveland did to keep settlers out
of Oklahoma when II was invaded
by Captain Payne and his fol-
lowers.
If the Cherokees shall refuse TO
treat with the commission on the
basis of March 2, 1889, this last
is the course that should be pur-
sued, when, with the cattlemsn
aud their revenue gone, all leases s
forbidden and the Cherokee una
bic to settle themselves upon the
lands or to sell to anyone but the
United States, it would be but a
shorttime until the problem Solv-
ed itself. G. II. MANsUR.

by the consent and request of

entitled him to nothing so far as

The Land Question.
ELLIS MOORE.

ELLIS MOOhE,
OF Denmark, Delaware district,
5cnds us communication in which
he states himself to be in favor Of
retaining the lands, east and west,
just as they are. As the writer
has crowded about half a column
Of matter upon a sheet Of dingy
looking paper twice the size of a
postal card, using for ink what
looks like a diluted article OF to-
bacco juice, the compositor cannot
read it at the distance which his
"copy" must be placed from the
eye. When we are willing to
spend dollar for having IA arti-
Gle put in type, it certainly seems
as though correspondents could
afford to invest one cent in paper
and ink. Printers seldom COM
plain of a mans handwriting, but
are prone to "kick like steers" at
the paper and ink used. Don't
scrimp the paper.
