The belief-the fears-expressed

not a little reluctant about express
ing publicly their convictions on
the cause at issue The present
is certainly a time, if one is ever
coming, for a full and free discus

The Cherokee Strip Live Stock
association has transmitted a petit
ton to the president Of the United
States in Il comprehensive, sixteen
page pamphlet, setting forth its
reasons and by what right it leases
the grazing privileges from the
Cherokee nation. We give the
substance, condensed, as set forth
in the memorial
CALDWELL, KASsks. Nov. q. $50.
To Hrs ExCELLENcY, BENJAMIN
HARRISON, President OF THE
UNITED STATES, WAsHIEGToS,
D. c.:
The members Of the Cherokee
Strip Live Stock association, hold
ers Ofgrazing permits in the Chero-
kee strip of the Indian Territory,
and law abiding citizens of the
United States, upon consideration
of a letter from the honorable sec
retary Of the interior addressed to
the Honorable Lucius Fairchild,
chairman of the Cherokee commits
sion, at Tahlequah, respectfully
ask your attention to the following
statement of facts
The industry Of grazing cattle
upon the lands of the Cherokee
strip has existed since 1871. The
whole of these lands were not oc-
cupied by cattle nor were the Y
sought for any purpose until about
the year 1850. At that time the
Cheroke people began to require
compensation for the use Of the
grazing privileges. They collected
succcssively during the years 1880,
1881, 1882, 81, 10000, $4,000 90,
s25, 10000. These sums being
paid at 4 certain rate per capita
upon each head Of stock so held
upon these lands for a single year
at a time. These taxes were
collected by the treasurer of the
Cherokee nation who made semi
annual visits to the Cherokee strip
for th e purpose Of making these
collections.
In order 10 obviate this difficult
" and TO compel payments for
grazing privileges from all who
were using them and to increase
the revenue Of the Cherokee nation
from that source. il was proposed
by the Hon. D. w. Bushyhead,
then principal chief of the Chero-
kee nation, 20 the grazers who
paid the grazing taxes, that they
associate themselves together Ia
such q manner as would enable
them to contract for the grazing
privileges as a whole, for a sum
per annum, for a short term OF
years. 1t was by him represented,
that by such an arrangement the
grazing privileges would be en-
harced in value and that the assO-
citation when thus formed, could
afford TO pay larger annual sum
into the Cherokee treasury for
their use. Upon these represen-
tations of the principal executive
officer of ths Cherokee people, the

ther negotiations, It would seem
that we are to be left to ourselves
OF to be starved into the measure
by the removal of the cattlemen
from that country. or to be pro-
ceeded with in a more summary
manner. But there is no appsr-
ent disposition anywhere to do
anything of this kind.
From what l can gather among
the members OF congress il seems
that the commission is accounted
as a good sized failure in effecting
what they were delegated to do,
and that incompetency or mis-
management was the cause. In
fact no particular importance
seems TO be attached to ile mis-
sion. In the interior department
We may find different state Of af-
fairs. but it may be presumed that
no great demonstrations of dis
pleasure will be made manifest in
the presence of the fact that other
powers were delegated to the COM
mission and were held in reserve
BY them for unknown reasons, and
that the inference might be accept
ed that failure was the natural re-
suit of such conduct. For this the
honorable secretary Ilay be as
much at fault as the commission
There is some intiIaatiOn that
the commission onght to be dis
missed and that a committee Of
congressman be authorized instead,
to treat with the Cherokees for
their lands, at the close of this
term of congress. 1 am satisfied

ing to general report, an aspirant

and Miss Robertson probably for

cellent speech before the commit
tee on territories last Saturday.
It's excellence consisted in the
pleasing manner Of her address
and rehearsal of anecdote. With
silken gloves on, she tenderly
boxed the ears of the several civil
lied nations, but while she seems
to ehasten those whom she loveth,
there appears a design Of spite
work lying behind what she had to
say. She seemingly went for the
Cherokee nation for-as she repre-
sented tits mismansgement Of
public affsirs. The steady increase
of a population of less than half
Indian, and the exercise Of politi-
cal power by them to the exclusion
of others on the other side OF the
line, WAS a matter of much concern
to her. The occupancy of lands
by the-less-than-halves, amounting
to a monopoly and detriment o.
the others, was another cause Of
complaint She thought that
to cut the dogs szil off at one
fell stroke would be much more
merciful than taking it of by

it was a mere stump and joke on
