CHATS WITH EDITORS.
Men Who Are Prominent in Poll
tics as Well as journalism.

The visiting editors yesterday had
what may aptly be. termed the "call''
on the hotels OF the Sanity City. They
came from all directions and their num-
Der was legion, and they were given the
best that was to be had. The Ryan, the
Windsor, the Merchants, the Clifton,
the Clarendon and the Metropolitan, all
were taxed to their utmost; and Col.
Dodge, of the Merchants. wore smile
such as he wears only in the days of
big conventions. Col Monfort, of the
Windsor, smiled clear back to the place
where the hair commences to grow on
hi handsome head when he said:
1--WE have 800 of the editors with us mp to
the present and they're still coming"
While this is very nice for the propri-
>etors of the big hotels it is pretty hard
on their clerks, and no one can form
any idea of the work done by them
without spending a half hour in front
of the desk of hoStelry like the Ryan
or Windsor. The newspaper men are
good-natured. however. and wait with
patience that no other class of profes-
sional men could show.
Among the well-known newspaper
men at the Ryan there are few better
known in the Northwest than Congress
man George d. Perkins. of the Sioux
City Journal. After building up a great
naper ID his city. he was seized with

thousands Of acres Of land he has
no moro right 10 than d native Of
the South Sen Islands. Tho coun-
try needs 10 hc soetionized, must be
sectionzed, and that as soon as pos
sible, il the large majority Of the
lndians are 70 be treated with the
honest confederation they are enti-
tied to from the paternal govern
ment Of the United States. We
are sincerely and earnestly anxious
that this be done by the United
States, for it is simply impossible
to expect anything OF the kind from
an Indian administration; there be-
ing too much self-interest at stake.
Third. Because there is a thor
oughly organized system Of robbery
and fraud, having its headquarters
in the southeastern portion Of the
Cherokee Nation, where head-iights
are sold to the lowest kind OF con
scienceless white trash at ten dollars
per hoad, whereby they are admit
ted as claimants to citizenship, when
there is no more Indian blood in
them than there is in d tnrnip.
This class Of fraudulent claimants
are TO be found scattered, like the
frogs Of Egypt, by the thousands all
over our nation.
Fourth. Because there has exist
ed for good many years body Of
fossilized missionaries, who draw
their sustenance from the various
missionary boards Of the sects oc-
cupying the Territory, who are OPP
posed TO allotment, simply because
il would affect them adversely; that
is, their ecclesiastical rations would
be cut short. The Indian has been
source Of income to them, and
some of the tallest kind OF religious
(?) lying has been done in past
years, and is still being done. Ey-
cry now and then, brightly educa-
ted Indian boy or girl is taken back
cast on north, dressed in the gaudy
costume Of some wild Indian tribe,
put Oh exhibition, and money in
abundance flows into the pockets Of
the devoted CD missionary, the un-
suspeeting white people donating,
in not 4 few instances, their shek-
els toward furnishing luxurious sur
roundiugs aud appointments for
the qu0ndam missionary. Allot-
ment woald have d tendency to
break up this delusiye game.
la short, there are many reasons
why the present state Of affairs
should be radically changed. We
are desirous, ais Indian both BY
blood and adoption, that the vel
fare, both spiritual and temporal,
Of our people be improved, and also
long for the time when the title Of
American Indian" shall he changed
to that Of Indlan American. And
further, we hope and pray that the
time is not far distant when the eyes
of the red man, and all interested
in him from the humanitarian stand
point, shall be opened, and that the
great government Of the United
States witt speedily act IN the mat
ter, granting our poor Indians de-
liyerance from the yoke Of bondage
that now binds more than ninety
five per cent. Of the population Of
the five civilized Tribes.

Never before in the history Of
the Cherokee people was there so
strong sentiment against the
public officials, or rather protest
against the gross mismanagement
Of our affairs under the present
system. The same feeling Of un-
rest is prevalent everywhere and
it will end in a general uprising of
the people, especially the agrioul-
tural portion Of the country. Un-
der these circumstances would it
not be well for the Farmers Alli-
ance to use its undisputed strength
in putting some good men in office

WORD was received last Friday
Of a postponement Of the Cherokee
payment in Delaware district I'M
til tho 18th inst. and in Coowee-
scoowee until the 20th. The de-
lay was caused BY the illness OF
Treasurer Ross. He telephoned
to Henry Meigs at Fort Gibson
to 60 down and make the Illinois
payment but on arriving at Braggs
Mr.. Meigs was unable to get the
money out of the express office.
This was an unlocked for obsta-
Gle and although the treasurer got
up and set about making the Iii
nois payment the delay was so
great as to prevent the filling of
the appointments in Delaware and
