TAnLrquAn. Nov II, 1890
The past week was fruitful
mainly in the appointment Of com
mittees and the laying out Of work
for the future.
The passage Of the bread bill by
the senate to be paid to Cherokees
by blood only, was no surprise,
but the desertion of the adopted
citizen by w. p. Ross, Faulkner,
and Tehee was. Three votes, Bell,
-<Icnderson and Mayes, was all
the support when the screws were
applied, that Henderson's prop
osition to unity the country could
command. That it will pass the
lower house, for blood, is generally
conceded, and then
The Cherokee commission have
not so far showed up except by
communication but they are, like
death, liable to come at any time.
The sentiment to sell has grown
perceptibly since the last meeting
of the council and the chief him
self has reduced the altitude of
his position several cubits. Not
wilhstanding our supreme faith in
the strength of our patent and the
plighted honor Of the United
States, the gradual encroachments,
made apparent by the Oklahoma
bin and the necessary sequences,
we are about ready to part with
our title at fair price" "
The sober appearance Of the
town is the general remark of all.
One would think that the white

hunted another place. The pres
ent dry situation is due principally /
TO the Womcn-G0d bless them. Z
They visited several days ago the

most all Of them-a promise to
keep sober during the present ses-
sion. Just why they did not at
tack Senator Bell il is not written;
possibly he was put down among

here for the comfort or information
Of any person interested, the sen.
ator, surprising as it may be, has
been duly sober, with the rest.

besides, They have employed
attorneys and will make a bitter
fight. The spectators who hold
unapproved deeds have never been
in possession, having been kept
out by the squallors. Might has
been right on the reservation Tor
long time, and for years il has
furnished the courts Of Johnson
county the largest portion Of their
criminal business. The local at-
torney appointed by Attorney
General Miller to look after the

every prayer Of the bill will be

As was to have been expected +,
the colored people are becoming
involved in an acrimonious contro-
versy as to who shall represent
them in the court OF claims.
Without any feeling whatever in
the premises we suggest the fact
that Turner probably accomplish
ed in their behalf what no other
man in the country could and
there is no telling what his re-
sources are. We do not know
that an attorney is needed nor are
we prepared to say anything as to
the compensation; in fact, the
amount will be approved or dis
approved by the secretary of the
interior.
