AFALsE REPORT.

BoLISs FEHEY. I T.. Jan. 10. lssN
EDITOR CHIEFTAIS:-The Arkan-
sas City Traveller is spicy, newsy
little sheet, published near the
border of civilization and is read
by and receives its small support
from the Indians Of the territory.
Under the heading Of Cherokee
Schools" it publishes a false
statement from the Kansas City
Globe, and seems to pride itself
in the circulation OF this falsehood,
much to the injury of itself, among
its resders Of this section. We
find it casts 4 reflection upon the
management Of our national
Cherokee orphan asylum, whose
management, including both agri-
cultural and educational depart
ments, is as good if not superior to
any in the state Of Kansas. The
correspondent is one named Har-
per and he harped a lie-one as
big as the liars law allows-in
attempting to mimic our Indian
boys in their feeble attempt.
They will come nearer harping
the truth than our honorable cor
respondent.
1t is coEardly, niggardly prin-
ciple that actuaies the press report
er who comes among the Indians
and who receives their hospitali-
ty, to go away 10 their pale face
brethren in the states and then
lie and misrepresent them in any
The Cherckees don't
care for the truth to be told and
we hope this will enable our tour
ist to find out that it's the truth we
want. So trusting when Harpers
come around they will harp the
truth and not falsehOods, TO our
ietriment and injury,
| remain. Boss BLUEJAcKET.

NAsuISGToS, d. L Jan IS. lsg1.
EDITOR CHIEFrAIN II have
Just returned from the house COM
mittce on territories, which is Just
now the center Of interest to the
Indians of the Indian Territory.
For several days there has been
under consideration by this COM
niitee, Springer's revised bill to
organize / temporary government
for Oklahoma, and for the organi-
zation of the five civilized and 9TH
er minor tribes into 4 territory TO
be called the Indian Territory.
The latter organization is simply
for judicial purposes; the former
for what it speaks In the Organi-
zation OF Oklahoma we can have
no interest further than 10 oppose
any invasion Of our rights.
The gentlemen Of the committee,
uD 10 date, show nc serious dis
position to disregard our wants Or
doubt our representations. We
have made many suggestions to
eleminate or to modify the objec-
tional prOyi> Jns Of the bill. nota-
