UNDECIDED.

Ifreports be true, and no doubt
such is the case TO some extent at
least, the Council at Tahlequalr is
undecided as to whether it would
be better to sell the Strip or allot
it. If sale is made ehe great diff
ficulty would be to secure a price
that would be satisfactory, and if
an attempt is made TO allot, some
are afraid that it could not be done.
All are no doubt willing to do any
thing for the best, but just what
would be best puzzles all But,
insction will be fatal; something
must be done. The Strip question
must be settled this present Coun-
Gil; it cannot be put of. II our
Council does not take some deci-
sive action in the matter, the. gov
eminent will settle it for US ere the
adjournment Of Congress. It is
said that the fullbloods favor a sale.
and it is not improbable that their
wishes will be consulted, as they
are pretty well represented ia both
branches Of the National Council

ship but having failed to prove 70
the satisfaction Of the Cherokee au-
thorities that he is of Cherokee
blood persists in living in the
country without permit and makes
farms and hold property contrary
to the laws of the Cherokee nation.
Intruders are not amenable to our
laws and do not seem to come un-
der jurisdiction Of the United
States courts. The intruder ques-
ton is the knottiest and most tam
gled question before the Cherokee
people at present, It.is not prob
able that it will ever be settled un-
til the Cherokee people allot the
land and thus do away with all in
ducement to the outside world TO
get rights in this country. We
might be able to stay the tide and
hold on few years without allot-
ment of lands but as land gets
more and more scarce in the states
the greater will be the pressure
brought to bear against us and we
would have to succumb under
more uniavorable circumstances
than those we are en- countering at
present. AS long as the land is
held in common just so long will
we be overrun with home seekers
in the shape of intruders. The
Strip will soon pass from us for no
other reason than that we tried to
hold it in common. There was
time in the memory of the Chero.
KEGS when there were no intruders.
When land was plentiful in the
states then there was no induce
ment to become citizens of this ma
tion. AT the close of the war there
were living in Texas and Arkansas
and. perhaps other states, people
who denied having Cherokee blood
and took it as an insult to be call
ed Indian, who now are claiming
rights in this country by virtue of
their Indian blood. Many of such
have been admitted and are enjoy
ing the rights and privileges Of ma
tive born Cherokees, and this
state of things will never cease un-
til our people hold individual IL
ties to the land. Shall we leave
open this gateway to our inherit
ance and see our country overrun
with intruders whom we will new
er be able to remove or will we al
lot the land among our own citi-
zens and thus shut out the land
hungry boomer and secure to our
children what is justly theirs ?

THE FARMER's ALLIANCE.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
EDITOR INDIAN CHTEFrAIN:--As !

inquire what has become ~ the
Farmers Alliance in the Cherokee

shadow before" and it occurred to
me that when our noble order

solution wa' plainly visible. When

for the promotion Of the farmer,
chiefly, but when my sub union
sent me as a delegate to the coun-
ty union which met at Claremore
in April last | was very much sur
prised to find instead of an agri-
cultural meeting, and to hear the
different methods Of farming dis
cussed, to discover that | was at
tending the red-hottest political
gathering that had ever seen. |
of course doubted the propriety Of
such a course but older heads than
mine had so planned it and bright
er intellects than mine said twas
all right, so | had nothing 70 do
but march with the procession.
Everybody knows the result Of the
Alliance movement and since the
election the Alliance has about
given up the ghost. But | hear
that efforts are being made in the
southern part Of the country to or
ganize the Cherokee nation into
State Alliance, independent of all
other Alliances save the national
The effort in my humble opinion
will be futile because the Alliance
in the states is being merged into
the Peoples party with view of
fusion with the old political par
ties, which Of course will preclude
the possibility Of its being Of any
benefit to the farmers. MY hopes
for the betterment Of humanity
through the instrumentality Of the
Alliance have about subsidized. This
is the way it looks to me and am
entirely nonpartisan and as a
farmer and laborer | will look else

THE CHEROKEE COUNCIL
"John William" Takes a Look at
the Situation.
TAnLkQuAn, Nov. 0. lsal

lAHLhQUAH, NOV. y, 1881.
A week and day since Council
met has passed-and the country
still lives.
Last week was taken up in elk

The caucus decided and on
Thursday the nominations were
declared, and c. J. Harris, of Can
adian, was elected treasurerj John
WicklifTe, of Saline, justice of the
supreme court, vice J. NJ. Keys,
resigned to take his seat as senator
Of Cooweescoowee; Aaron Corn
tassel, Geo. Waters and John Bat,
executive committee; II. NJ. Adair,
editor of the Advocate.
Friday and Saturday was con-
sumed in doing principally blow
ing, by both sides.
1t transpired Wednesday, on
looking over the ground, that the
senate for the first time in its his
tory was without a praying mem
ber-at least so far as was known.
Mr. Baugh seeing, and possibly
feeling, the necessity of guidance
from some other source moved to
authorize the appointment ofa man
Of God to pray for the senate, at
the rate of four dollars a day for
the petition. Just how often per
diem he was to tackle the Almighty
in behalf of the stricken sinner
the resolution did not say. The
senate was ungodly enough to re-
fuse to agree to the motion and
now the Cherokee senate may 60 to

Two bills have been introduced
in the senate, one re-habilitating
the defunct board of education, and
the other, we'll, it would puzzle
the spiked-tailed enemy of man to
tell just what its objective point
is. Itprovides for (after the pres
ent session of the National CounciD
two clerks for each branch of the
council whose duties shall be to
record all the doings of the thirteen
committees of the senate, and
whatever committees the house
may have. Now will not these
records be jolly reading with such
entries as this7 "Give me two
cards." ''I'll open her for the
"Giye me a book" aIs
it white or no mule?"
Generally the business of the
senators has been buncomb, but it
is hoped that after to. day real bus
iness will begin.
The proceedings of the council
have not been altogether without
interest. The house met Thurs
day in joint session 10 elect officers
with the general result as already
stated. On the nomination of c.
J. Harris by Senator Baugh, Of
Cooweescoowee. Senator Keys, his
colleague, made an objection to
Harris candidacy on the grounds
that Harris was not native born,

rank injustice.
