Hon. Warren q. Sayre, men,
Der Of the Cherokee Indian COM
mission, has returned home from
the Indian Territory, and in con-
versation relative to the work of
the commissioners says:
"0ur commission is instructed
to treat with the council only, but
the members ofthe latter body are
anxious to submit the matter of
the land sale TO popular vote.
They want the endorsement of the
people. and in this are not far
wrong. Chief NJ ayes claims to
have had an offer Of SIS, 900, COO
for the lands from some white men
of Independence, No. This is SO
per acre, and knowing that it is a
crime under the United States law
for private persons to offer to pur-
chase this land from the Indians,
l told Mayes the other day to :,
ahead, make the deeds and we
should then renew our proposition
to take the land at s1.25 an acre,
so they could realize twice on the
same property. The offer he says
he has had comes from cattle own
ers, who are using the outlet for
grazing purposes, and who thus
seek 10 make the Indians dissatis-
ned and cause them to decline our
proposition, the acceptance Of
which would open this fine pasture
tract to settlement. expect to
leave for Washington next Mon
day and viii remain there prOba-
bly, two weeks. The commission
then returns to Tuskahoina TO ne
gotiate with the Choctaws and then
goes to Tishomingo to treat with
the Chickasaws. Secretary No
ble thinks it will require at least
two years to complete our work,
and as We are paid $40 each per
day. including Sunday, | guess we
can bear up bravely under the bur-
den ofour duties.n

the case our readers shall be treat

reas!ing." Send 'e7 in. Our space
is somewhat limited, but if the
matter is of sufficient interest we
aill enlarge the paper to make
room for it. OF course our col
umns are FREE, but this is not say
ing that it is not a pleasure to
know that every correspondent is
a subscriber, paid in advance.
Further than this, If a correspond
ent is not a subscriber, how is he
going to know whether his COM
munication is printed, or not ?
All parties and individuals are in
vited to air their views, If they
have any worth communicating.
The CHIEFTGIS is an independent
paper-the organ Of the people
only.
In this connection we may be
pardoned for stating in plain terms
that THE CHiEFTAIS is owned in

EDITOR CHIEFTAIS II beg most
respectfully TO call your attention
and, through the columns of THE
CHIEFrAIN, the attention of the
Cherokee people, to a great mis-
take that was made by certain
senators, who stated that the
Cherokee nation has become bank
rupt within the last two years.
This was made an excuse for not
apprOpriating money to run the
male seminary. Nevertheless, the
fact stares them in the face that
the treasurer Of the nation, in
recent letter to the chief, states
that on account OF the accumula-
tiOn of surplus funds in the treas
ury he is willing TO increase his
bond, and accordingly the chief re-
quired him to increase il to the
amount of $3.50, 600; queer kind
OF bankruptcy.
The revenue has been double,
for the last year and a half and
there still remains in the hands Of

CONTRARY to first reports, there
we're no restrictions laid upon per-
mits or the size or number of farms,
By the late council A very strong
sentiment exists in many sections
ofthe nation in favor of the pas
cage Of some legislation calculated
. prevent monopoly Of the pub
iic domain and the only cause for
failure of the recent council to take
some action was a disagreement as
n the means to be employed.
Three propositions are presented
first, the restriction Of permits,
second, the exacting of a tax per
acre for all over what would consii-
tute a share in case Of 4 division
ard, third, a division The first
seemed the easiest or simplest
way, but the most objectionable
and unsatisfactory, while the two
latter were Of too radical a charac-
ter to be inviting to the average

In his last great triumph he has
put the climax upon all his pre-
vious Explorations and victories.
His adventures and discoveries
have been grand, wonderful and
marvellous. The full and authen-
tic accounts will be related in The
new genuine Stanley book, from
his first entrance into Africa, and
richly illustrated with over 40C Of
the grandest and most wonderful
new ergravings and colored plates
ever seen in a book of travels.

FoR some years the Indian de
Partment and the eastern friends
q the Indian have been undecided
rs TO whether the foreign school or
the reservation school was to be
preferred. Il Is understood the
latter has now been practically
agreed upon and already measures
for compulsory education at home
schools are before congress. The
Sioux are particularly hostile to
the Hampton and Carlisle schools
and in their present conference
with the secretary and commission
er are insisting upon their school
money being expended upon the
reservation
