THE oHIEF INTERVIEWED.
A Strong Argument Against the
Oklahoma Bill.

The Washington Press Of last
Saturday prints the following in
terview with Chief Mayes:
Chief J b. Mayes, of Table
quah, Indian Territory, was seen
at the National hotel hy a Press
reporter last evening. Chief
Mayes is at the head Of a delega-
tion from the Cherokee nation,
who are here to defeat if possible
the Oklahoma bill, which has been
characterized AS a scleme'lOr direct
robbery of the Cherokges, pure
and simple. Chief Mayes is very
intelligent man, evidently Of fine
executive ability. He talked very
fOrcibly and leelingIy upon the
subject Of the bill, which he said
proposed To embrace within its
limits over one. half Of the terrific.
ry OF bis people. lie said;
"The bill proposes 10 fix aprice
on the land without consulting the
Chorokees in regard to IL. We DO
not own this land rs an Indian
reservation. The Cherokees have
a patent to it and fee simple title,
with guaranty Of self-government.
"We have a patent from the

by Martin Van Buren,, president
Of the United States, with the seal
Of the land Office.
"We think it very unfair 10 at

ment over US without even con-
sulting us, aud it is plain

The bill proposes to fix the price

Cherokecs are forced TO take the
price proposed TO be paid BY the

POLITICAL MATTERS.
Clubs Being Formed Bribery and
Corruption Deprecated.

EDITOR CHEFTAIN:-Owing TO
the fact that there is no news of
general interest to your readers
that | can write, / will give you a
short account of our political do
ings at the capital. The Downirgs
are organizing clubs at the various
precincts of this district. We
have a club IN this town 125 strong,
and still they come; we hope be-
fore election day to have at least
100 members. The Downing par
ty in Delaware and Cooweescoo-
wee districts will do well to follow
our example, rs the object is a
commendable one, viz: To ac-
complish the greatest amount of
good for the greatest number of
our people, and not for the bene-
fit OF the favored few at the ex-
pense of the many.
A sincere desire to see a great
evil remedied prompts me to write
this letter. A pulpit that in ordi-
nary circumstances breaches poll
ties instead of the gospel, is a nui-
sance. But in a free country like
ours, where public opinions rule, a
minister should speak often and en-
phatically on current ailLirs. In
the perfo. nance of this high duty
there need be no fear of provoking
criticism. Such utterances are cx-
pected by the community. There
is one question of vital interest to
this community, which ought to
be brought to the notice of our ma
tional council. This is bribery at
elections. The churches, en-
masse, should thunder against it.
It puts manhood in the shambles
to be bought and sold; it destroys
n free ballot-the very essence
and ground work of free institu-
tions-and elects by the longest
purse instead of the choice Of the
majority. IL makes it impossible
for any but a rich man to be elect.
ed to Office and practically disfran-
chiscs the poor. Christianity in
behalf Of the unpoluted ballot is
bound to demand repressive legis-
lation, because they can do so with
out suspicion of political motives
or partisan purposes. Let us have
a free ballot and an honest count,
with the money Of the syndicates
kept out Of our politics. Let us
hear from every pulpit throughout
the land on this important sub
ject. Next to our spiritual, our
temporal welfare should be looked
after. Very Respectfully,
Feb. 10, 1899. Too SToo.

The Wattses have been declared
citizens Of the Cherokee nation by
the interior department, entitled
by blood. As such citizens, the
government of the United States
can exercise no further jurisdiction
over them, nor protection further
than can be claimed by any native
citizen of the nation. They are
virtually cut loose and emerged
into a new order Of affairs in which
the government of the United
States can exercise no debating
authority. They must take their
chances, be what they may. The
government can by'superior brute
force, If nothing more, compel
their residence in the country in
the likeness ofcitizens, but can it
compel the Cherokee authorities
to receive them as such ? AThey
know that the Wattses are not en-
titled to Cherokee rights, either
by blood or construction of any act
in relation to them, and as a con-
sequence they never will be ac-
knowledged other than as intrud-
ers and MS frauds imposed upon
them by the government. As In
dams not taxed or as not citizens
of the United States, nor acknowl-
edged citizens of the Cherokee ma
tion by its authorities, what is
their legal status anywhere ?
They cannot appeal to the laws
of the Cherokee nation for protec-
ton. nor be subject to them for
any penal ofIense. Their condi-
tion is exactly the same with ref
erence to the laws of the United
States, because they arc not ac.
knowledged citizens of either gov
ernment. fthe Wattses are citi-
zens of the Cherokee nation, they
certainly are not of the United

WHAT A CHEROKEE LAW CAN
BE CONSTRUED TO MEAN.

Attorney General Garland's re-
ply to the interrogatories submit
ted to him by ths honorable secre.
tary of the interior cannot be said
to be illegal, The law authoriz-
ing the chief justice of the Chero-
kee supreme court to enroll GER
tain North Carolina Cherokees on
their arrival in tho Cherokee ma
ton, as citizens, is certainly con-
elusive as far as the authority it
vests in the chief justice, TO re-
ceive them as such, ought to be con-
sidered. All his acts, If con fined
strictly to the intent OF the law,
cannot, by reason of the law, ac-
counted t. be not final, but il not
within the strict definition of his
authority, his acts certainly arc
not final. In propounding his in.
terrogatories the secretary of the
interior was carefully consistent
with the laws intent in confning
its application to the North Caro-
lima Cherokees, for whom special
provision is made by the law, and
for such only as were in North
Carolina at the time the law was
enacted, and who permanently
located (quoting his language)
there Gn the Cherokee nation) sub
sequent to the date Of the act"
The attorney general is equally
restricted in his conclusions in
their application to the North
Carolina Cherokees, but the com.
missioner of Indian affairs is not
equally careful to know whether
or not w. j. Watts is a North
Carolina Cherokee and embraced
by the act authorizing the chief
justice to enroll, as citizens Of the
Cherokee nation, certain North
Carolina Cherokees. Mr.. Watts
is not a North Carolina Cherokee,
never was one, and as a eopse-
quence should not be entitled to
any Of the benefits of the act au-
thorizing the enrolment.
1t will perhaps be a strange
revelation to many, that after all
the lusss and controversy about
the act authorizing the chief JUS
tice to enroll, as citizens Of the
Cherokee nation, certain North
Carolina Cherokees and after its
formal submission by the secreta-
ry of the interior TO the attorney
general; and after the Aocd Of
light that has been poured upon it
from the department Of justice, as
TO its meaning and legal effect. ii
is q well known fact shat not a
North Carolina Cherokee was at
any time enrolled by the chief
justice rs citizen OF the Cherokee
nation or as a non-citizen. Fur
