A MILD REPLY.

In last weeks Sentinel appeared
an editorial so thoroughly wanting
truth, so fraught with prejudice,
envy and hatred toward Wolfe,
Ross, Bell and TEE CHIEFTAIN,
and withal so like a cur in its
fawning upon the chief, it was ut
terly contemptible-unworthy Of
even the Sentinel. No man could
object to an open, honorable polit-
zeal fight-such things are expect
ed, but the writer seems to be a
stranger to such mode of warfare.
Out Of more than half column Of
its peculiar attack there is scarce
ly single truthful statement or
one manly assertion. The fret
part of the article states that
"Dick Wolfe, Hooley and Bill
Ross" Che means Hooley Bell and
w. p. Ross but does not know
how to express iD have entered in
to a combination to split the
Downing vote and elect q National
chief and to this end Mr.. Bell had
bought out The CHIEFTAIN and
Telephone to further their infa-
nous scheme. Whether Wolfe,
Ross and Bell have entered into
such a conspiracy or not, this pa
per does not know, but since the
Sentinelis the mother of the state
ment, has good reasons to think it
is false. Still there is other proof
that the statement is not even
founded on truth. Some years
ago when the chief. the Sentinel
man and most Of the Downing men
did form a combination with the
Rosses, Hooly Bell was the man
who refused outright to enter such
uniOn-he was the man that
kept the Downing party pure and
unadulterated in Delaware district,
and he did it at a time when it
would have been worth more TO
him than it now is; when he would
net even be allowed to play sec
ond fiddle. No, if HoOly Bell
weathered the storm when those
stout oaks bent before the breeze,
i is not likely that the little
tempest in a tea pot" the Senti-
mel is raising could drive him to
abandon the party he kept alive.
Not content with thus slandering
Bell, it must exhibit its venom
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1890-06-12

fair dealing. Should this contract
be approved by the government,
the purpose Of its jealous guardian.
ship Of the Indians, as wards, is Ia
prevent others from robbing them
so that it may be done more sys.
tematically by itself.
A member of congress, when at
tackled on the subject a few days
ago, remarked that he was actually
ashamed Of such conduct. "If the
lands are not worth more than
that" he went on to say, "what
use has the government for them.
There is no purpose to which they
can be put. If they are fit for
HOMESTEAD settlement, the govern
ment will get S1.25 an acre for the
lands, and it is not right that
the government should speculate
at the expense Of the Indian. "
Our affairs remain as they have
been for some time. The tariff,
the silver question and the federal
election scheme are crowding out
other matters of less Importance.
AS between the contending fac
tions the "contest deepsns" every
day and will until hot weather
smothers all desire to continue the
fight any longer. Respectfully,
JoHN l.. ADAIR.

THE Sentinel, in its desire to
SIX" things, makes all sorts OF
foolish and false statements. 1t
says THE CHIEFTAIN quoted
"boastingly" from the Phoenix
"the government will not remove
the intruders." This statement is
false. 1t was not with JOY that this
paper said such a thing, but with
sorrow. THE CHIEFTAIN is trying
to tell the truth regardless of con-
sequences. Never in the history
of this country was there more
need of plain, fearless truth, The
country is in bad shape, which
none but political tricksters and
their political henchmen viii deny.
Before disease can be cured it
must be located; 50 it is with the
evils that befall n government.
They must be located and then
treatment applied. But so long
as the leaders and their organs
blindly shut their eyes to the
truth and shout like trucking
demagogues sail is WE'LL" there is
no hope for the better. Then the
Sentinel, with bad grammar and
worse judgment, "differs with 'this
paper again in the statement that
when the supreme court decided
that eminent domain in the Chero-
kee nation and outlet was vested
in the United States and that
that government could grant tn e
right of way through this country
to whatever road it saw fit, it was
a heavy blow to the Chero KEGS.
True, that decision did not weake
tho titlo to the land, but it lessons
the authority of the Cherokees
over their own country. See what
Capt. Adair said in his letter to
THE CHIEFTAIN of juno 5th. He
is in a position to know the truth
and utters it because, as he says:
81 have no political axes, toma-
hawks or scalping knives to grind,
nor any purpose to mislead the
people by a concealment Of what
I consider to be facts" Tho cap
tain is right; no man should be so
cowardly as to conceal what he be-
lieves are facts. If the Sentinel be-
lieved this there would be less
condemnation and more solid
worth in its columns.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1890-06-12

law will not be passed soon.
Councillors are not brave enough
to risk the displcasure Of tho big
land owners to pass such a law.
He thinks that such a law would
elect him TO stay at home and tend
his own farm. But even IL law
was passed and strictly enforced, T,
allowing a man to cultivate only
so much land as would fall TO the
share OF himself and family by
equal division, would that stop
the clamor for allotmentY No,
the intruder question is an evil of
far greater magnitude than the land
monopoly. Already there are
more intruders than citizens in the
nation and the number is constant
ly increasing. Their presence is
an injustice to those who rent our
land, as we'll as to ourselves.
If there were no intruders
in tho land, and if the poorer
classes were better protected, then,
indeed, there would be no great
need for allotment, but as it is, it
is the only way of giving to tn g
citizen his own.

and envy by attacking this paper
II says Mr.. Bell bought controll-
ing interest in this paper and put
up one of his "most pliable kins-
men" as an editorial fgure-head
"to abuse Mayes, to laud Hooly
and condone the actions Of the
National party" This, as every
sensible man knows, is false. The
CHIEFTAIN has had nothing to say
in Mr.. Bells favor, nor yet has II
said anything favoring the Nation
al leaders or party. AS for the
kinsman, the "fgure-head," it has
been his lot to disagree with Mr..
Bell more than once, and openly
did 80 when Mr.. Bell owned more
than half tho Telephone which the
"figure-head" then edited.
AS to abusing Mayes, if the man
was not so ignorant he would see
the assertion was not true. Now
this paper wants it distinctly un-
derstood it does not think any Of
fetal in the land, whether he be
chief or janitor, a little tin god
TO be worshiped. 1t judges men
not by the office held or for the
loaves and fishes to be gained,
but by W ha t the official has done.
Accordingly, when the chief has
done that which he should not do,
this paper has condemned him-hci
because of any personal dislike,
but that he might see his fault and
strive the harder TO do what is best
tor his country. In the same
spirit he was praised. Honest
criticism is something that honest
men cannot condemn; it cannot an
ger the well meaning man, but
viii make the fawning parasite
furious. Now if this paper has ae-
cused the chief of any folly that he
has not committed, the editor is
sorry and willing to retract as soon
as the proof shows him his error.
If, on the other hand, the chief
has made a mistake, it would be
moro manly for him to rectify it,
than to have his satellites by false
logic make black seem white.
To DO moro plain, the heaviest
charge THE CHIEFTAIN has made
against the chief is his extrava-
gance. Now if it can be honestly
proven that it is for the good Of
tho Cherokee nation to have six OF
seven men in the executive office,
at four dollars a day, to do such
work as three men ought to do, why
then there is no more to be said
but to apologize. But if such ex-
travagance is not right, then this
paper will bluntly assert its con-
victions in spite Of the frowns of
the polite Sentinel.

OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENCE.
wAsnlxarog. d. O.. june :

wAsHIS0rog. D. C.. june :, 1890.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-As to ther-
NAL conditions Washington is not
slow in getting up her usual rec
ord, 1t appears that delicate May
has been crowded out by the mort
passionate June, and July, with
palm leaf fans and cooling drinks,
has come in under the constella-
ton Of Cancer. Hot you may know
il is when, to keep himself from
running down his breechos legs,
an honorable member of congress
peels off his coat while making a
speech on the silver question.
Considering the various means at
use to ventilate the building, such
as ice and mint and other cooling
ingredients down below, it must
be hot indeed when the question
of free coinage of silver and bull
lion redemption produce such hu-
mied conditions.
The only question up lately rel
ative to Indian matters was the ac-
ton of the Chickasaw council de-
nying adopted white citizens the
right of suffrage in their nation.
This, as a question of law, was
argued before the senate commit
tee on Indian affairs yesterday
by Judge Wilson, of the law firm
Of Shellabarger & Wilson. Mr..
Sam Paul is here in the interest of
the adopted whites, which seems
to be Of such importance and so
desperate as to require the servic-
es of the most celebrated attorneys
OF the city. You remember, per-
haps, that the question was referr-
ed TO the attorney general for his
opinion, some time ago, and that
the action of the Chickasaw coun-
Gil was sustained by him. The
presentation OF the causes
why the council disfranchised this
class OF their citizens before the
same committee several weeks ago,
was a revelation of such base con-
duct on part of many of such per-
sons that it will be no easy matter
to destroy its effects upon the
minds of the committee; even if
there are no legal reasons to sus-
tain the councils actions in the
matter.
Itappears from the news jour
nails here that the Cherokee COM
mission, so called, has recti6-
ed at last its capacity for swindling
ignorant Indians. 1t is reported
that the Iowas have bargained
their surplus lands to the commits
sion at q cents per acre. If this
is not pure and simple swindling,
it would be well for Uncle Alph to
rise and explain why it is not.
No one is willing TO believe that
the government has taken
upon itself the role of a Fagin
by sending this commission out
there to rob a lot Of ignorant In
dians who have as little knowledge
Of the real value Of their lands as
the committee seems 10 have of
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1890-06-12


THE Cherokee commission has
used up its appropriation, and,
like a former council, has washed
it's face and hands in tho clear
stream, and done nothing" Con-
gress seeing its failure has under
consideration a bill appropriating
moro money so that the homo rable
commission may again wash its
hands and face in the same clear
stream. Now that their old offers
ara refused and they will most
likely come back, why not make
them a proposition ? 1t now
seems that no more than 81. 25
will be offered for the strip, which
by the way is NOT ENOUGH and
should be fatty refused. Let the
Cherokee nation propose to alloi
those lands and give each citizen
his pro rata share, with the un-
derstanding that he can sell it to
whomsoever he or she pleases.
Or, if he or she can keep it
they will be regarded as owning so
much United States property and
will have to pay taxes as other
property holders do. II such an
allotment is granted by congress,
the land viii bring from two to
twenty dollars an acre-according
70 the fertility of the ground. II
will bring on an average $500 per
acre-more than twice as much as
il will bring any other way.
