THE SECRETARY WILL TAX
A HAND.

A Washington special to the
Globe Democrat, dated October
%, says:
The secretary of the interior is
preparing a letter to the Cherokee
authorities upon the subject of
the lease of the Cherokee strip,
which it is suspected will contain
some rather pertinent and valua-
BILE suggestions. The secretary
refuses to disclose in advance Just
what il will be, but it is under
stood that his reasoning in the
matter is based upon an opinion
just received from the attorney
general of the department. There
is little doubt that the department
will take a firm stand against the
present lease system, and that the
forthcoming letter, together with
the opinion twill tend to bring
matters to crisis so far as the
cattlemen of the Cherokee strip
are concerned. The precedents
thus far established oppose the
lease of the Cherokee strip, and
there is every reason to believe
that the present administration is
not disposed to see the cattlemen
hold possession of the surplus In
dian lands in the exclusion of the
settlers. The last administration
put the cattlemen out of Oklahoma
and the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservations, and il declared their
occupancy Of the Cherokee strip
unlawful, but took no measures
looking to their exclusion. A
similar opinion already has been
incidentally rendered by the pres
ent administration, but no definite
or determined action has been ta-
ken, and the cattlemen still re-
main IN possession. This fact
has probably been found embar-
RAISING to the Cherokee commits
sion now in the territory endeav-
oring TO negotiate for those lands,
and it is surmised that the forth
coming letter and opinion is calcu-
lated to aid the commission in
bringing the matter to a speedy
settlement.
The commission has at present
only two members, owing to the
recent death OF Gen. Hartranft,
but the vacancy will be filed in a
few days. There are several can
didates under cons deration, but
no determination will likely be
reached before Saturday.

ON A BLUFF.

Below will be found an editorial
from last Mondays Globe Demo
crat, under the caption, "The
Cherokee Outlet" AS the article
intimates, tEe government will
doubtless in the end secure the
Cherokee strip for white settle
ment, but it will not get it on a
"blnh, and that is what the arti-
Gle in question strongly savors Of /:
The latest reports indicate that
the Cherokee commission is not
progressing very fast in the impor-
tant work of preparing the way for
the opening ofthe Cherokee strip
10 white settlement. 1t is evident
that the Indians are determined
not to part with their legal title
to the tract in question on any
reasonable terms. They seem TO
think that by sLubbornly refusing
10 accept what is offered they can
compel the government TO pay
them their own price; but they will
discover that such a result is out
OF the question. 1t is by no means
certain that they have any definite
right Of ownership. Their claim is
at best a very doubtful one, and
the probability is that II put to q
strict legal test il will be declared
invalid. The government has con-
siderately and generously sought
TO avoid such a proceeding, and
90 secure an amicable adjustment
Uf the matter in the interest of all
concerned; hut II these friendly
overtures are to he treated with
lofty disdaln, then ii will become
necessary to resort to measures OF

THn OHERoKEE aTRIP.

Following is an inter view atri-
buted to Ex-Chief Bushyhead, up
Oh what occasion we do not know:
"Unquestionably the outlet will
be opened to settlement. Con-
gress will see to that. 1t can be
opened in either of three ways.
Article 10 of the Cherokee treaty
Of 1866 provides that friendly In
dians may be settled on the strip
by the United States on terms to
be agreed upon by the friendly
tribe and the Cherokees, and in
case of their nonagreement the
price per acre 20 be fixed by the
president. Under that treaty five
tribes have been settled, the presi-
dent fixing the price per acre at
forty-seven and forty-nihe hun
dredths cents. East of Oklahoma
are five tribes occupying about one
million acres purchased from the
Creeks and Seminoles last winter.
All these tribes can be moved up
on the outlet and settled thereon
for Az cents per acre. Besides, as
the government has been having
much trouble about opening some
reservations in Kansas. New Mexi-
co, Colorado and other western
territories, II would be easy 70
take the Indians from their reser-
vations and locate them upon the
outlet. This would throw open 10
settlement twelve million acres il
the southwestern portion of The
Indian Territory, eight million
acres east Of Oklahoma and Other
lands in the territories. The cos
Of the outlet on this basis woulI
be but S3,0O0,cO0. Should th'
government decide TO pay 6l2'
per acre for the strip tho Chey
ennes and Arapahoes would ex
pecl 10 be paid, for their four mil
lion acres. The offer of the gov
ernnent Of 81 25 per acre for th'
outlet aggregates over $1,000, 900
which the Indians can receive an,
divide per capita or leave with th,
government and receive five pc
cent. interest yearly, amounting {
