All the residential houses of Glaston-

an afterthought another, at right angles
to the rear, making T. Add to this a

If it is true that whom God loveth he

been particularly favored by Provi-

sank in the waters of despair.
That croalxing brother-ip-law OF hers

his ominous prophesies seemed in a fair
way of fulfllment. True, the world IN

1t was very provoking. He certainly
was not gone five minutes from the

open and his sister-in-law lying on the
stairs in fainting fit, with two fright

her.

recovering full consciousness.

you thought this man was a photog-

Il thought he was the person who
came to photograph the body of gen.

A NEW DIsPENsAT1oN

Now it came to pass about the
end Of the fifth month that a great
multitude Of candidates multiplied
upon the face of the earth.
And each man desired to take
unto himself an Office. And every
one, both great and small, was
willing TO accept, even the highest
Office in the land.
And they lifted up their voices
and said, GAS our fathers done,
even 60 do we; were they not wise
in their day and generation {?
Now why should we not follow in
their foot steps? We will perpetu.

But the wise men answered and
said unto them: $50 to; thy

become q back number; we are
dealing now with the current is
sues, Behold all is changed and
in our day and generation we
must tumble to the racket Of
present requirements"
And when the wise men had
thus spoken the others gathered
themselves up and each man shook
his head and they went their way,
every man unto his own home.

The Arrow undertakes to say
that those wko favor allotment are
a class Of people who have no land
to allot, and no money to divide.
The letters Of endorsement, both
public and private, that are COM
ing in by almost every mail, and
from some of the most eminent
citizens BY blood, from all parts of
this nation are evidence to us that
the position this paper has taken
on allotment oflands and running
this government by taxation is a
very popular enc Further, some
of the leading lights OF the Nation
al party are advocating allotment
to-day. The Arrow hints at long
since exploded idea that an adopt
ed citizen should have nothing to
say in regard to the administration
of this government. 1t presumably
reflects the ideas of the party for
which it is the mouth-piece and
which pledges itself to the protec-
tion of all classes Of citizens, in its
recent platform. The Arrow very
facctiously remarks that there is no
reason why the Cherokees ms ma
ton and as individuals, should not
have surplus in store. The par
ty for which that paper pretends
to speak has had great deal to do
with the affairs of this government
and we would like TO ask some
thing about that surplus. Where
is it2 When we look for a sur
plus we find deficit. And when
we talk about allotment we don't
mean to lessen anybody's rights.
We simply wan everyone's prop
erty pointed out to them, so they
will know how much and where it
is. We lay it down as a PROPOSE
ton that holding lands in common
is a failure, and has had thor
ough ties; in this country. and we
want change. The perpetuation
Ct this Cherokee government, as
a government, everyone snould de-
sire and work for, but the present
system is wrong. 1t does not bear
upon all alike and can not and will
not stand unless something is
done to preserve the rights of the
poor and check the monopolistic
tendency OF the proson, system.
But, according to the Arrow, the
National party will never do it.
OF course the robber is not going
to send for the police.

THE REVERSE SIDE.
Ike Rogers Gives the Colored
Folks Position.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:--Will yot
permit me to inform the publ,
through the columns of your pa
per, the facts concerning The
late trouble between the coloreo
people and the officers of Coowees
coowee district when they at
tempted to sell the improvements
Of the colored people.
First.we knew it was II viola.
ton of the law-the way that af-
fairs were being carried on. The
sixth article OF the treaty Of 1866
provides that all laws shall be in
uniformity throughout said nation
and the same law says, "nor shall
anyone be deprived Of his life,
rights or property without a due
process of law" whereby all
should be treated alike in accor-
dance with law. Knowing that
the laws were not being carried
out as stated above we COM
menced our appeals, first to the
y. S. agent, but he was in Wasn-
ington We memorialized the in
terror department and sent to our
own chief, but could get no an.
swer or satisfaction.
Now | ask the public what are
we to do-kcep still and be sold
out, or rebel against the unlawful
acts that were being perpetrated on
us ? We have seen in the papers
that we We're threatening the lives
aud property Of others will say
for all that there were no such
threats made by us. 1t was not
our intention to'Fun over the coun-
try, to Kill people and destroy
property, as was reported. All we
ask is peaceful possession of the
homes we now occupy. R We are
iaw-abiding people, yet we viii
protect ourselves when we cannot
get protection through our laws
The officers sold Alberty out and
we SAID nothing. yet those who aye
acquainted with the affair know it
was not done legally. II
q. w. Lane is an .-iYTTer- married
man here as-nTE married Chero.
lSesTcedwoman and the children
of this woman are with their father
the said G.. w. Lane, and they
drew their per capita money the
same as the other freedmen did.
The agent made no difference in
paying these people and it was
supposed that those who had
drawn their money would be all
right hereafter. Then to allow
such sales TO 90 on would be the
death of any man who came in
here and married one Of our daugh-
tiers. II | have all the rights Of a
native Cherokee surely my daugh.
ter would have the same rights as
your daughter would. You talk
about adoption; We are not Of that
class Of people; we never came
here from Kansas, Missouri or Tex
as, to be adopted into this nation.
We were born here; this is our
birthplace and | think it would be
a hard matter for the Cherokees to
adopt one of their own family.
Two.thirds of the negroes Of this
tribe are mixed with Indian blood
and will be called Indians when
proven up.
have endeavored to show the
cause of this trouble. / hope the
good thinking members Of this ma
tiOn will not blame Us for doing az
we did in this affair.
Matters were made larger than
they actually were. /. r.

ests, thereby not giving the unity
in matters of importance that we
should have. From past expert
ence it is matter the parties
most interested in are hardly pre-
pared to settle satisfactorily to all.
Why not refer the whole matter
to some judicial tribunal OF the
United States and after fair rep
resentation of the whole matter
ask for decision which shall be
final, also including the adopted
white man? We have been vexed
with this question ever since the
war, and will continue to be if left
alone. Those adopted by treaty
are no doubt wearied over politi-
cal promises in the shape Of plat
forms. As ever,

pecial privileges to none, we de-
mand that the legislation OF the
Cherokee nation shall be 50 framed
in the future as not to build up one
industry at the expense and injury
of others, and we are opposed to
the monopoly Of land, water and
all other gifts of nature.
2ND. That we believe that the
money of the country should be re-
tained in the hands of its poole;
therefore we demand that all
national revenues shall bc limited
to the necessary expenses of the
nation, economically administered;
and that we arc unalterably OPP
posed to n national interest-paying
debt.
3RD. That we favor the sale of
all the lands west of longitude 96,
belonging to the Cherokee nation
at the rate of $500 per acre, pro-
vided that the United States gov
ernment will guarantee the re-
moval of all intruders and abrogate
the 10Th article of the treaty of
1866. And in order that each cit
izen receive his or her pro rata
share of said moneys we further
require the United States govern
ment to distribute the aforesaid
moneys to each Cherokee citizen
that has reached the age of eigh-
teen years at the time of first pay
ment and that payment be am
nually made by said government
to those citizens that have arrived
at the age of eighteen until said
funds are exhausted and equitably
distributed.
4TH. That the number of inn
provements being made and pub
lie roads fenced up on our public
domain, and for many other good
and sufficient reasons, we are COM
PEELED to demand the survey of
our country into sections, thereby
providing for public roads and to
an our citizens TO better locate
their farms and 6urrts- s--tseeIIoane tsseeIIo ent
improvements and homes.
5TH. That the revenues for the
support of any government should
bear equally upon those that re-
ceive its benefits, and realizing the
present mode of raising revenues
in the Cherokee nation is unequal
and unjust, that we are in favor of
direct tax on property and in
comes, and Withdrawing all
funds belonging to the Cherokee
nation, paying it out per capita,
save and except an amply suili-
cient fund for educational purposes
and for the support OF our orphans
and their education.
GTH. That we demand that the
United States government shall
establish a uniform system and
price for the travel and transpor-
tation of passengers and freight OF
all railroads in the United States
and especially in the Indian Terri
tory.
7Tm. That we are satisfied that
tits practically impossible for us to
successfully cultivate our lands
without skilled labor, therefore
we favor just aud equitable laws in
reference to the PERMITTED citizens
of this nation.
STH. Good government being
essential to the safety and hap
piness of all its inhabitants, and as
such cannot be expected if ignorant,
selfish and incompetent men sEe
selected and elected to official po-
sitions, we do not favor and will
not support such for Office.
9rH. That we request the Con-
grcss Of the United States to pro-
vide by law means to vindicate
aud decide all claims and qucs-
tons pertaining to the lands and
montys of the Cherokee nation in
the Supreme court Of the United
States,
