One is prepared for pleasant moments to be
spent among the pages of this monthly by a
very natural picture, ''Grandma's Toilet, -"
showing the patient grandmother at her
sewing enduring the hardressing of the
plump little granddaughter. The lines on
the face, the struggling gray hair in sharp
contrastwith the clustering ringlets and dim
pied rOundneSS Of the little maiden, make a
lifelike and pleasing picture. There is a
strong lifelike portrait of Hon. J. @. Blaine
at the head of the opening article by T. c.
Crawford, What Reciprocity Means. >
The article embraces full review with &C
companying figures of the reciprocity policy
since the days of Henry Clay, whose dream,
says the writer, was 10 establish intimate
relations with the people of the southern
republics, until the 10Th of June, 1890, when
President Harrison sent a brief message to
congress with the papers prepared by Mr..
Blaine in defense Of his views on the reel

lips, has its interest augmented by striking
illustrations which come home to natives of
those central states where horSe-breeding
for the developing of fast horses is an in
duStry and 4 passion. "Going Abroad"
by Frederick S. Daniel, will interest any
who may read it, but is of special alue to
such as are contemplating a trip over the
blue waters. "A Wonderful New Yorker"
is an animated description of the
new tire-boat that is doing such
admirable work in saving warehouses,
dock property and shipping in and about
the city from destruction by fire. The
department of fiction is well filed by
serials and short stories and the entire
issue is as usual finely illustrated.

bearing in mind that Judge Wilson
is a democrat.
IL is rumored that the govern
ment embassy have agreed to
the demands or consideration, Of
the Cherokees, as follows; Abro-
gate the 10Th article of the treaty
of 1866; a joint tribunal TO deter
mine the negro question; removal
Of all persons declared intruders
by our courts the right OF the
Cherokee nation to appear and be
heard as a party in the courts, and
do generally for us whatever any
christian individual human might
rightfully claim as his constitu-
tional guarantee, Notwithstanding
we are Indians not taxed.
The money consideration seems
to be the only difference that the
world knows of, but the real diff
erence is that the business is to be
settled here, and that does away
with any chances to Porterize the
deal Ten per cent. of nine mil
lion would satisfy, or at least hush
up at least half dozen Peabodys,
and yet leave a man in such shape
that he would not have to mash
apples for a living.
The mastery inactivity Of the
Nationals is the remark heard on
all sides. They jump upon and
do up everything, good or bad, pro-
posed by the Mayes faction, and
tail to offer anything themselves
While they may be the five wise
virgins, they are acting as foolish
as the unfortunate females who
had no oil in their lamps. They
seem to forget that they, as well
as the majority, represent the
Cherokee people, who in this snipe
hunt are the "greeneys" holding
the sack.
If it be fact that one dollar and
forty cents with the concessions as
stated is offered, the deal should be
made. A majority of the people
would vote less sum of money
with the other conditions.
The coming week is big with ex-
pectations, and perhaps may be
able to tell you more about it; at
any rate, patiently wait.

MONOPOLY.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN IT. Farming
and stock raising are the exclusive
industries of our country; therefore
our legislators should look to the
interest of both. We cannot pro-
tect either to the exclusion of the
other aud expect to exist long as
a nation. The cattlemen Of our
nation should be satisfied with the
COW law that has just passed coun-
Gil. 1t seems, though, that all the
monopoly" bills that have been
presented to council were consid-
erably more in their favor than the
farmers Of our land-especially the
last one allowing each individual
200 acres provided he puts it incul-
tivation. That is a very unjust
proposition. The land is ours to
use in any way we consider it prof
table. There are great many
who believe that the grass that
grows spontaneously on most of
our prairie is more profitable than
to cultivate the land, so l believe
that each individual should be al
lowed a specified and just amount,
free from tax, to do with it as he
may see proper. By adopting such
a course we dispense of the quar-
ter Of mile privilege and leave
the timber for public depreciation,
which should not be. The timber,
like the grass, is public property,
and no citizen should be allowed
to use more than is required for
his own use. without paying some
thing for it to the nation.

'V1ntta,
"1NTRUDERs.n

The lower house of the Cherokee
legislature has just passed bill
ordering out of that territory all
''intruders" within 100 days un-
der penalty Of having their effects
conhscated. We do not believe
the United States government will
permit the enforcement Of such
high handed modes of procedure.
The Cherokee nation is fast filling
up with industrious white men
who have gone in there and rented
lands and tenements in good faith
of the citizens of that nation, and
they have a right to stay there un-
til their leases expire. The In
dian is naturally jealous and sus-
picious of the white mans en-
croachment, but the government
always protects the Indian in all
his rights and privileges and they
have no reason to apprehend any
thing but good from the so-called
'intruders" who cultivate their
lands for them and set them exam
pies in industry and civilization.
If our government permits this
outrage on her citizens right here
at home and then goes to war with
Chill over the insult to few sail
ors, we shall lose faith in her ad-
ministrative ability and place our
cabinet and president on par
With the board Of foreign missions.
Every foot Of territory within
the confines of the United States
should be controlled and governed
by the United States, and every
man within its borders should be-
come citizen of the United States
and assist in supporting that gov
ernment, be he Indian, Hindoo or
Hottentot. The idea Of allowing
these little one horse Indian prin-
cipalities to exist within such a
government as ours is ridiculous
in the extreme, but when they
pass laws conhscating the property
of men who have been invited into
their domain it is about time they
were taught a little common civil
ity."
The above clipping from the
Baxter Springs News shows that
that paper is either ignorant of the
facts in the case or is guilty Of
wanton misrepresentation. The
industrious white men who are
renting in this country are not in
truders and nobody considers them
such. But those who are trying
to prove that they are Of Indian
blood solely to get right in the
country, when they are not of In
dian descent and persist in making
farms and grazing herds against
the wishes of the bonifide citizens
those are the intruders and will
be removed. The News should
be better posted as to who are the
intruders. No classes are treated
with more consideration then are
non-eitizen renters from the states
and ample provision is made for
their legal residence here.

ALL the weather prognosticators
seem to be practically a unit in
predicting a cold winter. Every
one Is quoting this and that "un-

and we may look out for "cold as

we can extract from the situation
is that severe winters as a rule are
followed by very productive sum

THE WAY OUT rs PLAIN.

If sale of the Strip is effected
this council, even at the low figure
Of S1.40 per acre, it will meet with
the approval of nine-tenths Of the
people of this nation, if the con.
cessions we are asking for in con
nection with the sale are granted.
The removal of the intruder alone
would be worth millions of dollars
to the Cherokee people If they
are removed the only great ques-
ton then will be, how to keep
them out. There is no doubt in
the world but what the most of
them would come back just as
soon as they could get back, If
we were granted the privilege Of
dealing with them ourselves we
could not keep them out. The
whole nation could not raise an
army sufficient to keep them out
No, if we desire to get rid Of the
intruder we must remove the in
ducement for him to come among
us. Just as long as we try to hold
our land in common, just so long
will he try to be one of US. This
citizenship question has grown be-
yond our control; it is absolutely
unwieldly to us and we know it,
and we are now offering to relin-
quish to the government more than
one-half our domain to help us out
of the dilemma.
Suppose the United States
should put all the intruders be-
yond our borders to-day, could we
keep them there? No one would
be so reckless as to claim for one
moment that we could. They
would come swarming back in
such numbers that it would para
lyze our government ana wreck our
institutions to undertake to cope
with them. Then what shall we
do, submit and be robbed? =? No;
that would not do. Shall we leave
the matter to solve itself by mac
ton on our part? No; that surely
will not do. In our humble opin-
ion there Is but one remedy left to
us, and that is to dllot the land.
The Uniled States is now in the
notion to help US solve the intrud-
er or citizenship question. We
had better avail ourselves of the
opportunity. When the Strip
passes from us, as it no doubt will
soon, then we will have nothing
with which to pay them for their
assistance. Council cannot afford
to wholly ignore this great ques-
tion that is pressing itself upon Us.
We know that there are men in
both houses of council who see the
matter in its true light, who know
that allotment must come-yea,
have been advocating it for years
but it seems they are too cow
ardly to stand up for what they
know is right and which they have
promised their constituents, be-
cause, perchance, they may be in
the minority. All, how blind am
bition and party fealty can sub vert
the principles Of men How the
promise Of place and power can
deprave and demoralize the better
judgment Of men who, otherwise,
are honest and patriotic enough !
But the question must soon solve
itself. Whether it has many ad-
vocates OF few, allotment will be
the ultimate conclusion in the
near future.

sCRIBNERs s MAGAZINE
AN EXCEPTIONAL YrAn


The year 1891 has been marked
by a greater advance than any sim
liar period since the magazine was
established, Not only has the
literary and artistic excellence
been maintained and increased, but
a corresponding gain has been
made in the sale and influence of
the magazine. At the end of 1891
the circulation has risen to more
than 10000 1t may Justly be
promised that the further improv-
ments for the coming year will be
proportionate to these largely in
creased opportunities.

special study and work among the
poor of the great cities. The plan
will include an account Of the con-
ditions of those cities Gin many
lands) where the results Of research
will be helpful for purposes Of com
parison as well as for their own
intrinsic interest. While, from a
scientific point of view, the arti-
cles will be a contribution Of great
importance, the treatment will be
thoroughly popular, and the elab-
crate illustrations will serve to
make the presentation of the sub
ject vivid as well as picturesque.

German
Syrup"

The majority of wel1-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
which have been
gnawed off and Destroyed These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
fnghtfu1 rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes In, 1oosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ proof and well. 9

THE MAXWELL CLAIM.

The Supreme Court Upholds the Claim of
the Land Grant Company.
WASHINGTON, April THE United
States supreme court yesterday affirmed
the judgment of the circuit court of the
United States for the district of Colo
RADIO in favor of the Maxwell Land
Grant Co. in suit brought against that
company by the Interstate Land Co. to
recover a large tract of land in Las
AnimaS county, Col.
In the course of the opinion by Justice
Lamar the court held that the questions
affecting the validity of the Maxwell
land grant were no longer open; that
the action of congress, of the land de-
partment and of the courts had settled
that question forever. In order to ac-
quire title to any part of the Maxwell
land grant the claimants would have
had to show grant from the Mexican
government ante-dating that under
which the Maxwell company held title.
