WASHINGTON LETTER.

Secretary Window is the one
solitary member of the cabinet
who opposes Mr.. Blaine's reci-
procity scheme. All the rest and
the president too are heartily in
favor Of it and are doing all they
can TO make friends for it in con-
gress. But as yet it is by no
means certain that congress will
adopt it. A very prominent
democrat said to-day, "if the re-
publicans throw away the grand
opportunity they now have Of
beneftting the country by bring
ing about reciprocity with the
Latin-Ameriean countries, reci-
procity will be made the rallying
cry Of the democratic party, and

the country like a hurricane. Z"

A TRAP.
The Law Inviting Indians to Be
come U. s. Citizens Only a
Trap for the Unwary.
RAVEN.


"Come into my parlor, said the
spider to the fly."
The above quotation is a plausi
BILE comparison to the United
States inviting the Cherokee peo-
pie to become citizens Of that gov
ernment and singing out chapter
115 of the revised statutes of the
state of Arkansas, known as the
Mansfield digest, and putting in
full force the said chapter 1l5
wirrch- proyiSss IN any peron
Citizens of the United States) OF
age to sue for his or her pro rata
share of land, whether held in
common, for life, or otherwise;
also granting the Cherokee nation
both civil and criminal jurisdic-
tion over all Of her citizens, was
all done for the purpose of getting
as many citizens of the Cherokee
nation TO become citizens Of the
United States as possible by their
own free will.
A number Of congressman know
ing the difference and i'll feeling
that now exists between the Cher
okees by blood and their adopted
citizens, have taken advantage Of
the circumstance and passed those
laws, posted on pillars of rock
whore the populace could notread,
expecting the Shawnees, adopted d
whites, Delawares and negroes TO
"fall in the trap" but good luck
was not with them, and prejudice
has so far defeated the actual in
tent of the bill, which is as follows:
First--To get as many to be-
come citizens of the United States
as possible. They supposed that
if one went it would be like sheep
jumping over the fence.
Second-To get as many citizens
Of the Cherokee nation to petition
for their pro rata share of the
lands now held in common.
Third-To break up the tribal
organization as it now exists and
force the Cherokee people to be-
come citizens Of the free United
States.
In the above I am sure you
have the actual intent of the COX
lahoma BILL" Suppose MAORI
ty of our people become citizens
of the United States by their own
free will, The United States
would then step IN and claim her
civil and criminal jurisdiction and
legislate according to her policy,
1. c. the admitting the Cherokee
nation proper into the union as a
state, and forever extinguishing
the Cherokee title and tribal or
ganization. d.

THE LAST STRAW.

On or about the first day Of July,
Congressman Hare introduced a
bill, which, iii passes both hous-
es and receives the presidents ap-
proval. will prove to be the
"straw that will break the camers
back" for all Indian governments
in this territory. This bill is en-
titled "a bill to confer additional
jurisdiction to the United States
court in the Indian Territory. to
hear and determine rights Of citi-
zenship in the Indian Territory
and petitions for partitions and
alIotments Of lands in seroralty

AT the Institute at Tahlequah
last week the teachers discussed
and adopted certain amendments
they wished council to make to
the present school laws, and this
fall a eommittee will lay these
amendments before our legislators
for their consideration. One of
the measures advocated is the ad-
mission of children of non-citizen
whites into this public schools
1t is certainly a good move and it
is to be hoped that council will so
consider it. When the children
of resident whites are given edu-
cational advantages, it will not
only benefit the children but will
advance the welfare Of the Chero-
kee nation and people. The
Cherokee people wish to rent their
lands and rent to the most ener-
getic and progressive men. But
such men do not like to have their
children grow up in ignorance.
The very class of farmers that we
need are the ones that most de-
sire their children to be educated.
Already many are thinking ofleav-
ing the nation in order to educate
their children. When they 60,
much Of the prosperity ofthe coun-
try will go with them, for when a
man has not energy and ambition
enough TO school his children, he
has not enough energy to cultivate
his land as it should be. Anybody
can see the result. All land ex-
cept that worked by citizens will
in short time be almost non pro-
dncing But il these children are
not given the advantages Of educa-
non, financial oppression will not
be the only effect; moral depres-
sion will be felt TO a certain ex-
tent. The children of citizens
will associate with the children
0f our non-citizen residents-not
only will they associate together
but they viii intermarry. Since
that is SO it is much better TO edu-
cate all alike, give them such ad-
vantages as will make them in
telligent citizens or grateful
friends. 1t cannot injure the
Cherokee nation to give non. .citi-
zens the chance to educate their
children here, and it will certain
ly be a great benefit to all.

AGAIN the depressed condition
Of the treasury is being felt. The
echool fund was short so that some
thirteen teachers had to leave
without their pay. The Arrow
lays all the blame at the door Of
tho chief, which assertion, every
sensible, fair minded man knows,
is foolish and wrong, and yet it is
in perfect accord with the gener-
ality of the Arrows assertions.
Tho chief certainly ought to bear
q part OF the blame, but not all.
Council deserves a large part of
The censure. If it had only had
nerve enough to declare the old
lease act superseded by the act of
1883, then the treasurer would not
have drawn that $4,000. This
sum might have been added to the
school fund, and then all the teach
ers would have been paid. Or
council might have stopped its
eternal quarreling and gone home
ten days sooner. The sum then
saved would have been sufficient
to more than pay the teachers for
their honest labor.

'Io DID IT WITH MY HAToHET /

When Chief Mayes returned
from Washington it is said he told
an admiring group Of friends that
he had succeeded in efacing all of
the Objectionable features of the
Oklahoma bill. Now while this
group Of friends may look on the
acts Of Chief Mayes as nothing
much short Of the act Of "mod-
ern" Socrates, so long as they are
beneiciaries Of the public fund we
judging from other motives,
should hope at this critical time,
in the shaping of our affairs that
our chief could be more blessed
with ordinary intelligence so that
some Of the dangers that are now
gathering can be averted. The
only Objectionable feature of the
Oklahoma bill that indangers the
nationality Of this country. is that
part Of the bin that admits our
citizens to become citizens
OF the United States. One
of these reasons is now being
used for an it is worth By making
eats paws" Of some Of our adept

that by becoming citizens Of the
United States, they can thereby

Of forty years from the date Of
