THE Cherokees have been strug-
gling III every way 70 get al the
supreme court in order to prove
their fee simple title to the lands
they claim as theirs. Every adj
ministration for years back has OPP
posed IN every way possible CIV
ing the Cherokces the right to 60
before the supreme court. The
Chcrokees feel so assured Of their
title that they would risk every
thing to get to the supreme court
in some way, and if the admins
tration feels that the Cherokees
have not a good title II is strange
that objection should be raised to
letting the supreme court decide
the matter. st. Louis Republic,
Jan. z.
Yes, the Chcrokees have conf
dence enough in the validity Of
their title to not only risk, but ask
for decision Of the supreme court,
and the Republic is right. II the
Cherokees have no good title why
should an objection be raised to
letting the supreme court decide
the matter. The Republic has
been out-spoken in behalf Of the
Indians and has taken up for them
not simply because they are IN
dians, but because it wishes to see
justice done. No wonder it is so
popular in the territory.

THE ONLY rHRRIroRY PAPER
To get Into Rowell's "Preferred
List" is the Chieftain.

Geo. r. Rowell Il Co., proprie,
tors of the American Newspaper
Advertising Bureau, No. 10 Spruc,
Street, New York, have issued q
pamphlet containing a choice Sc.
lection Of newspapers for an nd,
vertiser to use, who prefers TO con
fine his advertising investments to
such as are likely TO pay him best
This catalogue names all the
greatest and all the best newspa-
pers. The selection made includes
every religious, agricultural, Of
other class weekly, having a regu
lar issue of so many as ten thou
sand copies all the great month,
lies, tho leading dailies in all the
largest cities, and aims to name
the best paper in every county

mu ch as three thousand, and ev-
cry other town, village or city hav-
ing SO much as five thousand popu.
lation, provided a paper is printed
which issues as many as a thou.
sand copies a week.
The carefully selected list which
is now issued by Geo. P. Rowell
Il Co. is the first which has been
put forth in accordance with reso-
luton Of the association Of general
newspaper advertising agents. 1t
is issued by the oldest, best equip
ped, and most favorably known of
all the agencies, and is likely to
invite careful examination ard
criticism from both advertisers and
publishers. Geo. P. Rowell Il Co.
have a more thoroughly perfected
system and better facilities for con-
ducting the necessary negotiations
with newspapers and watching the
fulfllment of advertising contracts
than has ever been attempted by
any other house in this line in this
or any other country. At their
advertising bureau, which was es-
tablished in 1865, have originated
most Of the methods Of conducting
such business. which have prov
ed to be permanently successful.
They have issued the American
Newspaper Directory for twenty
two years. They now advise their
advertising patrons that it will al
ways be well to confne advertise
ment orders to papers selected
from the Catalogue Of Preferred
Papers here referred TO, unless the
advertiser has some conclusive
reasons Of his own for using others.
The population OF every place
where newspaper is published is
stated in the catalogue; county
seats are designated, and the cir
culation rating accorded to every
paper by the last issue of the
American Newspaper Directory is
given. Out Of the seventeen thou
sand papers named in the Directo-
ry, only about two thousand are
selected; of these only one Issued
in the Indian Territory and it is
perhaps not necessary to add,
THE INDIAN CHIEFTAIN is accorded

WHILE not wishing to be the
mouthpiece Of the senate nor up
hold all their acts, yet il must be
said that they did perfectly right
in discontlnuing school at the
male seminary until the building
was repaired. The west wall Is in
a dangerous condition, the halls
and rooms are unsightly from the
plastering falling, the roof leaks,
the premises are filthy and the
cellar, from lack Of drainage, a
perfect cess pool, breeder Of dis
ease, Health and comfort were
out of the question,

KANSAS CIVILIZATION,

Tho inevitable is at hand. Thl
Indian Territory will be admitted
as a state. Make citizens Of th'
Indians and civilize them. How
much better than to rear them ii

ism which, in a thousand years
WOULD Of itself show no sign of ap
proach towards civilization. They
would be best assisted to a civil
lied state by environment of civil
lied life and manners. The In,
dians ask it, the interest of th,
country demand it and it should
be so. Wichita Eagle.
"a little knowledge is a danger
Gus thing but you are not in the
slightest danger, friend Eagle, fol
you have not even a little knowl
edge-concerning Indians. And
SO you wish to make a state Of tho
territory in order to civilize the
Ipdians. What. is. ciyIlizatian
friend Eagle? Is Kansas ciyilizedi
The people Of the Cherokee nation
and other nations also-are very
much like Kansas people, with q
few exceptions. Kansas has rail
roads; so have the Indians; Kan.
sas has merchants and merchan.
disc; so have the Indians; Kansas,
the civilized, has schools and
churches, but strange TO say, so
have these barbarians, and they
are well attended too; they read
books and keep track OF the fash
ions and have political SQUAD
bles" just the same as people in
Kansas do. Kansas boasts of hav-
ing the latest improvements in ag-
ricultural implements; SO Eave
these savages. II is no uncommon
sight to see one Of these barbarians
sitting on his riding plow and
leaving four furrows behind him.
In hayihg season he sits upon his
mower, and as he drives along he
leaves a seven.f foot trace Of willing
grass as evidence that his machin-
cry is the very latest; he cuts his
grain with a self-binder and when
the threshing season arrives a
traction engine is seen approach
ing his farm. Kansas is full of
farms; the territory has not so
many-her special production is
fat cattle. Kansas has strikes. the
Indians do not; Kansas is bur
dened with debt; more than half
the farms in the state are mort
gagged, while the barbarians are
comparatively free from debt and
have no mortgages. Then the
principal difference between the
two seems to be strikes, debts and
mortgages. And Kansas is civil
lied while the Indians are not. If
that is civilization, friend Eagle,
you may extol its blessings for a
thousand years and not create the
least desire for it in the breasts OF
these barbarious Indians. They
don't want it. Just give them
prosperity, honor, education and
Christianity, and they will never
ask for "civilization.

sell the land for whatever the
United States government chose
to pay for it.

THE Chickasaw legislature con-
vened in special session at Tisho-

ly were the members summoned
that no information reached the
public in advance of that date.

be to adopt measures for collect
ing the permit tax, payment Of
which has been generally refused.
Some time since Gov. Byrd asked
for military assistance in expell-
