great consideration, botn from their
experience and intelligence. The

IT now begins to look as though
the Old Settler Cherokee claim
would be paid at last. There is no
question in the world but that it is
an honest claim and should have
been paid years ago. 1t is esli-
mated that the number of Old Set.
tiers, together with their descend
ants, will exceed one thousand
Probably it is due more to the eff
forts of Uncle Joel Bryant than to
anyone else that the Old Settlers
are at last to get what in justice
should hevc been paid long ago.

be sold and fair price secured
though everything is being done
quietly. j. II. Beck and A. II.
Norwood have been barred from
the practice of law in the Cherokee
courts, on account Of the bogus
citizenship business which they
were mixed up in. This was done
by special act. Some of the best
legal talent in the country claim
this to be a "Fangliug' of the leg
islative and the judicial depart
ments. Just how it will terminate
no one seems to know. But if
every one who has been engaged
in the business was disbarred from
practice it is safe to say there
would be few lawyers left. Both
houses OF council are getting down
to work and it is generally thought
that something win be done. A
great many anxious people are
hanging around the capital and the
sale Of the Strip towers above all
other questions.
Chief Mayes vetoed the bill re-
ducing the salaries and cutting
down the number of secretaries in
the executive office. But it was
promptly passed over his head.
Davis, of Delaware, made strong
argument against the chiefs veto.

soRIsNEhs MAGAZINE.
AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR.


The year 1891 has been marked
by 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
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-
lnents for the coming year will be
proportionate to these largely in
creased opportunities.
FOR NENT YEAR.
1t is not possible to give, in a
brief space, an account OF all the
features in preparation, but the
material is deficient in neither i'm.
portance nor range Of subject.
Among the subjects treated:
THE POOR IN THE WORLDS GREAT
CITIES.
1t is proposed to publish a series
of articles, upon Q scale not before
attempted, giving the results Of
special study and work among the
poor Of the great cities. The plan
will include an account Of the con.
ditions of those cities lin 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
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 SUBJ
ject vivid as we'll as picturesque.
