THE COMMISSIONS REPORT
Gross Discourtesy and General
Bad Faith Charged.

A Kansas City correspondent
gives general outline OF the are-
port which viii be made by Gov
ernor Fairchild and his committee
to the secretary of the interior re-
garding their attempts to obtain
the Cherokee strip. After relating
the circumstance and the law un-
der which they were emp powered
to act in the premises, the COM
missioners say that the personal
request of the Cherokee chief that
congress send commission to the
Cherokee nation strongly infiuenc-
ed congress in creating the COM
mission. They quote from senate
document No. 80, in which Mayes
urgently requested the senate to
send commission down. The re-
port recites the incident connected
with their visit to the Cherokees
last August, when, after waiting
two weeks upon the chief for an
answer TO their proposition, he
finally declined to call an extra
session of the legislature, stating
that the Cherokee constitution for
babe sale OF Cherokee lands.
The commissioners then returned
the latter part of October and
staid for six weeks, during which
time voluminous correspondence
passed between them and tn e
Cherokee authorities, but no def
mite conclusion was reached till
the end Of that period.
GROSS DIscoURTEsY.
The commissioners characterize
the Cherokees' diiatoiy tactics as
gross discorrtesy toward the gov
eminent, and severely censure the
Cherokees for this. discourtesy, .,
which amounted to an outrage up
on the dignity Of the United States
government. The commissioners
recite the incident connected with
the late conference. or attempted
conference, with which the public
is already familiar. The action Of
certain cattlemen in competing
with the government by fictitious
bids for the purchase of the strip
is severely denounced. Offers
were made by irresponsible par
ties, and extravigant sums offered
for the grazing privilege, with the
sole intent Of defeating the benefi-
cent purposes of the government.
The report further says that when
the Cherokees had manifested a
disposition not to deal with them
the commissioners Withdrew the
governments offer in order to re-
licve the latter Of any embarrass-
menl in its other plans relating to
Indian lands. The Cherokee ma
fion's government, carried on by
men with great preponderance OF /
White blood in their veins. is ex-
trayagant. -Four hundred thou
sand dollars annually is expenssd,
while si50,000 would be al ample
sum. The commissioners do not
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1890-01-02

assume the government right 10 in.
teriere IN the financial affairs ol
the Cherokee government, but cite
the following illustration Of pub
lie expenditure TO show that a
large part of the 100000 annually
appropriated must be used to pro-
mote the private interest Of the
Cherokees, and in an attempt to
influence legislation at Washing
ton. The Cherokee insane asylum
has twenty-fUur inmates. The
pitilnl sum Of Slo56 is annually ap.
propriatcd TO feed and clothe
them, which allows each unfor-
tunate the meager sum of 81 per
week to maintain a wretched ex.
istence. Other Cherokee expen-
ditures are in keeping with the
one cited.
The commissioners suggest the
opinion that the alleged "Chero-
kee nation,n with laws passed and
administered by white men, who
are really United States citizens,
has become extinct by virtue of a
long continued intermarriage be-
tween the Indians and whites, and
ask If strict sense of justice war
rants the disposition of Indian
annuities and other revenues
equally among white United Stotes
citizens and iull blood Cherokeos.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The report recommends that the
government avail itself ofundenia-
bic right, under section Is, of the
treaty of 1865, to settle civilized
Indians on the unoccupied lands
in the Cherokee nation proper,
and the payment Of such sum as
shall be agreed upon by the In
dians; or in case oftheir Disagree
ment the price per acre to be fixed
by the president. By the payment
Of 81, 500, 900 to the Cherokees full
ly 100000 acres, now occupied
by tribes west Of the 96 degree, by
executive order could be opened to
settlement, while on the other
hand 81, ,0OO, 900 expended for the
Cherokee outlet would only secure
100000 acres inferior in quality
to the lands now owned by the
government, but occupied by In
dians who have no title to the sell
but only the right to occupancy at
the government pleasure.
The Cherokees having refused
generous offer for alleged owner
ship Of the Cherokee outlet, it now
lies with congress to say whether
the cattlcmen and an unscrupu-
lous body of white men, calling
themselves Indians, can thwart
the governments purpose TO iurD<
ish homes for vast number who
are crying for a little spot of
ground from which they may de-
rive sustenance. for hungry fami-
lies, A high judicial authority,
whose legal attainments have late
~ elevated him to the supreme
bench of the United States, has de-
cided that the Ckerokses have no
ownership in the soil ofthe Chero-
kee outlet. If his opinion and the
opinions Of other jurists have any
weight, then congress ought to
declare the outlet Il part of the
public domain; or, if the Chero-
kee tenure is good, tho govern
ment can avail itself of the proyis-
ions ofarticle 16 of the treaty of
1865, which provides that the gov
eminent can settle friendly In
dians on the outlet by paying AZ.
cents per acre to the Cherokees.

AT the recent council both Rab-
bit Bunch and Dick Wolfe placed
themselves upon record as being
convinced of the utter fallacy OF
publishing the Advocate at the ma
tion's expense. Mr.. Bunch ably
seconded Mr.. Wolfe's proposition
TO reduce the appropriation for
this purpose and declared himself
as being in favor of cutting it of
entirely. 1t was, he said, of no
benefit 70 thsfuli bloods, printing
sss il did The same matter over and
over again, and speaking for them
e vas in favor Of suspension.
As Mr.. Bunch's knowledge and in
formation upon this subject cannot
be questioned, certainly it looks
rs trough the reason for 'the' pa
per's existence, as at present con-
Quoted, had disappeared. Would
Messrs. Bunch and Wolfe be of
the same mind, and would their
faith hold out, if the majority on
joint ballot was in favor OF the
Nationals ? AS both are lawyers
