quently named are, Mayes, t. b.

Hon. R. L. OWN stopped over
a few hours yesterday on his way
from. Washington to Muskogee.
Mr.. Owen says the strip is certain
ly in a critical condition. While
there is no inclination on the part
OF congress to impede any negotia-
iions that may be made by the
United States and the Cherokee
nation, yet if no negotiations are
made, it IS more than probable
that The strip viii be opened TO

shown TO let the Cherokees get a
fair price for the land; but even
our friends look upon The strip as

is not producing food as it should.

FRIEND Arrow is beco ming little
toward THE CHIEFFAIN, and says
things that exhibit little or no wit
and less reason. These little out
pourings Of bilious prejudice do
not sound at all like the gentleman
ly editor. 1t smacks more OF riv-
er bottom bile mixed well with
blind prejudice and political long
ings that have not and cannot be
realized. Who is the ventrilo-
quist behind the curtain that
makes our genial friend seem to
say such bitter and sarcastic
things?

expected he would appear before

brought about his visit would

A LEFT HANDED" DENIAL,
But Should not any Successful
Means be WelcomedP


WASHINGTON, d. O.. March I, 1880.
INDIAN CHIEFTAIN, DEAR SIR
The published statement that Rob-
ert l.. Owen is trying TO have con
gress allot the Ch erokee outlet is
not true in fact.
! know the young man well, and
know he does not approve any
violation Of treaty rights whatever;
that he is as faithful a friend to
the Cherokee interest as he has
heretofore proven himself to be.
While he believes that the Chero-
KEGS should endeayor to get au-
thority from the United States to
set aside the governments rights
under the 10th article of the trea-
ty of 1865, and have the lands al
lotted TO the Cherokees west of
96 degrees, and that the Cherokees
would thus secure more nearly the
market value of this great proper
ty, because of the artificial value
the rush Of people would give it,
and the great competition aroused
among speculators, town site peo-
pie, and would-be settlers, yet he
only wishes it to be done, if at all,
by the voice of the Cherokee pee
pie themselves in a legal manner.
He is with the Cherokee dele
gates, Hon. d. w Bushyhead
and Hon. John Lynch Adair, daily
and they know his views perfectly.
Yours respectfully,
RoBT. L. OWEN.

We again wish to warn our col
ed citizens against being frighten-
ed into taking less than the 1888
per capita payment amounted to,
$3.50, for their certificates, or
right of participation in the COM
ing payment. Congress and the
department Of the in terror intend
ed to "cqualize the distribution Of
funds" and passed the $4,000 act
with that idea in view and if that
sum is insufficient for the purpose,
more will be provided. 1t is a
significant fact, and one worth
considering by the colored people,
that no effort, so far as reported,
has been or is being made to beat
down and buy the Shawnees and
the Delaware's claims, but that
they (the colored people, are
alone subjected to this treatment.
And yet, everybody knows that in
the eyes of this act they are all
placed upon an equal footing and
will all be treated alike.
