The American Eagle is flying high now

The American Eagle is flying high now adays.
 Twenty-Five years since the Grand Army was organized. Thirty years since the war began Time does indeed fly.
 The Mckinley bill did it. A mill has been established at North Grafton, Massa- chusetts, by James Patton of Johnstone, Scotland, for the manufacture of the best class of shoe faces made from linen, cot ton, porpoise skin and other leather. Formerly the best class of shoe faces was made entirely abroad. With number of mills like that in North Grafton in opera ton, the United States can soon produce the best goods of this kind at lower prices than at present, as has happened already in the case of other manufactured articles formerly wholly manufactured abroad.
 Not little has been said since Lawrence Barrett died concerning his lack of early education. The St. Johnsbury (VermonD Caledonian gives some interesting facts bearing upon this. It gays the Barrett family came to Lyndon, Vermont, about 1S46, and lived there five or six years. His father was a tailor, poor in this world s goods, yet the children were sent to the district school and Lawrence attended | Lyndon academy. His teacher in the dis trict school is now a resident of St. Johns, bury, and she remembers him as boy of 10, by far the most gentlemanly boy in the school, good scholar and good reader and speller.

THE POSTAL SUBSIDY LAW.

The Mckinley law has done and will do much for this country, and another law made by the last congress will also have good effect This is the Postal Subsidy law, which will give this country much quicker and more satisfactory communi- cation with South American ports, Yoko- hama, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Hon olulu and Australia. The requirements in regard to vessels of the second class are that they have at least 5000 tons register, and that they shall make speed of sixteen knots per hour on each voyage for which they receive payment. The Pacific Mail company has only one vessel of this class of tonnage-the City of Peking-plying between San Francisco, Yokohama and Hong Kong. At present this steamship makes the voyage at an average speed of only for the trip to Hong Kong. In order to get the bounty of s2 per mile paid to ves- sells of the second class for carrying the mails the City of Peking or some faster vessel in her place will have to increase her speed to pitch that will enable her to reach the Chinese port in eighteen days In the same way the American steam ships now making the long voyage of 7,172 miles, from San Francisco to Sydney, stopping at Honolulu and Aukland, would need to shorten the time of their voyage from thirty days, it's present duration, to about twenty-two. And in order to earn the amount paid under the subsidy law, the third class steamships that now make the voyage from New York to Rio Janeiro in about twenty-four days, or at the av- craze rate of about nine knots, would have to increase their speed to fourteen knots, and thus shorten the time of their voyage by more than one-third.
 The advantages of the stimulus which will be given to shipbulding and con- merce by this law are apparent.

ing country. The autonomy of
the Indian tribes would not be in
terfered with, except in the cities,
and the residence OF the Indian in
the cities would not deprive him
of any of his tribal rights, but
would give him the additional
privilege of participating in the
government of the city. The "in-
truder" difficulty would be more
easily regulated, for to them they
would resort, when their presence
in the country should become OBJ
jectionable to the tribes.
The details of the plans here
suggested cannot of course be given
in this paper. The right of pres
ent owner of property situated
within the limits of the said free
cities could and would be duly
protected. Real estate would be
transferred by deeds, and no mans
title could be questioned. Ger
tainty would come in the place of
uncertainty, and order instead of
chaos.
AS the time is close at hand
when the council of the Cherokee
nation meets, and when the ques.
tion of the disposal of the Strip
will again be raised, it seems an
appropriate time when the ideas
herein advanced may be taken up

NEW THOUGHTS ADVANCED
Suggestions based on a Careful
Study of the Situation.

The following letter was written
for a metropolitan paper by a gen.
tleman Of ability and of standing in
this community, but subsequently
was given to The CHIEFTAIN in
stead. 1t may provoke discussion
may meet with hearty opposition,
but we can give the assurance that
the writer's motives are the best.
VIMTA, /. T., Nov. 8, 1891.
For hundreds Of years, like the
weaver's shuttle, the North Amer
lean Indian has been thrust hither
and thither until at last he has
been "rounded-up" very nearly in
the center OF the great Republic,
where the problems Of his civiliza,
tion and his future are to be solved
Standing at the head and repre-
senting the most advanced tribes
of this race are the FIVE nations oc-
cupyirg the Indian Territory. At
their head, the pioneer in learning
and intelligence, and in the appre-
citation Of the requirements Of the
spirit of progress, stands the Cher
okee nation.
All through these five nations at
the present time exists a feeling OF
earnest anxiety as to their future
"a feeling of unrest, analogous to
the feeling which we notice in the
animal kingdom preceding great
changes in condition and surround
ings. II is an extraordinary and
deeply interesting condition de-
manding the consideratc attention
OF statesmen who shape. the policy
of the United States government,
within whose jurisdiction and pow.
er reposes the destiny Of this inter.
esting people.
The question is, what ought 20

THE CHEROKEE oouNo1I.
Doctoring the COW LAVA Ne
gotiating Commission.

TAHLKQuAn NOV 10, lesl.
After fifteen days Of laborious eff
fort the council has succeeded in
passing one bill providing for a
commission of seven to meet and
confer with the Cherokee commits
sion representing the United
states, proposing to buy the Strip.
They are the same old set who
failed last year to make a deal
with the Cherokees, and if indica-
tons 60 for anything. thew will
meet with about the same luck this
time. As far as one is able to
learn they are prepared to renew
the offer of about eight millions
and no more money, but to hold
out the great danger hanging over
us on account of the inability of
the government to keep out the
boomers on account of the Chillian
embroglio, and the conscienceless-
ness of congress, and the absolute
necessity of the republican party
to make a new state in order to
elect the next president.
The chief undertook to-day to
make the commission authorized
by the bill referred to, and sent
down to the senate the names of
E. c. Boudinot, ]. A. Scales, Geo.
Downing, Roach Young, Joseph
Smallwood, Josiah Henry and
James Teehee; all but the last two
were confirmed, and pending his
selection of two more the senate
adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing at 9 o'clock.
The commission, as far as made,
stands two half-breeds and three
full-bloods; the two rejected nom-
inees were also of the latter class.
1t will take no prophet to say that
Mr.. Mayes' wishes will be carried
out to the letter since Roach Young
is the only one of the batch that
is not an uncompromising partizan
Of the chiefs.
The Owen allotment scheme is
dead in the she'll" and its de-
mise is chargeable to too much
preaching up by outsiders. The
generally prevailing opinion is that
the whole scheme was a plot to
rob the poor ignorant Indian, and
no amount of talk or argument can
convince what one would think
sensible senators and councillors,
but what such was a fact, and now
all that we can do is to sell for the
largest possible figure or take our
chances and do nothing. The lat
ter alternative seems to be the
chiefs idea. He has the COW men
behind him, and some of US know
that they do not strike with
stuffed glove.

the children are entitled TO as
much as anybody else. The only
way on earth TO stop monopoly
and equalize our landed interests
is TO allot all the land among all
citizens of the nation. All other
efforts to limit the monopolizing of
the public domain will prove futile
and leave matters in a more and
more complicated condition.

In addition to the appointments
reported in these columns last
week, two temporary vacancies
were filled. In both cases these
were caused by the election of the
incumbents TO seats in the SEN
ate-J. NJ. Keys, of Cooweescoo-
wee, iefjustice, and Gale Starr,
of Tahlequah, high sheriff. r.
II. Fields, of Saline, was appointed
high sheriff, and r. w. Lindsey,
of Chouteau, as supreme judge.
Their term of course expired last
Monday when all the new officers
were installed.
The proposition to re.establish
the old school law, which will
bring back the board of education
is meeting with plenty of opposi-
tion but will likely pass.
The first bill to pass the council
branch was one to establish a vot-
ing precinct in Goingsnake district.
Party lines are being drawn in
both houses, and it now looks as
though every bill that becomes a
law will be passed by a strict party
vote. az
What will be done with the
Strip Don't know-nobody knows,
but the general impression holds
that it will not be sold at 81 25 per
acre. The allotment scheme is
growing, still it is thought the
Cherokee commission will nip it
in the bud"
That cattle law is vexing the
souls Of men and will doubtless be
changed" just a little; not too
much, but just a little" For
instance, it is thought cattle will
still be introduced and at the same
price, but the time will be changed
so as not to give Texas fever to
native cattle. We need the revenue
so must introduce Texas cattle.
Our legislature has bumped up
against a stern, hard reality-we
are rich in debts. We must econ
omize, and how to do it is the ques-
tion. In the language Of the poet:
Oar liabilities are many,
Our assets are fewi
Now some one please tell us,
Oh. what shall we dot
Scribes ought to know what to
do in such cases, and to tell the
truth, we do. There are two ways
of getting out of this dilemma.
One is by taxation, the other by
getting in more revenue. Tax
alton is bitter pill and very OBJ
noxious to the Cherokee mind, but
I very much fear we shall have to
take it after all. Still, it may be
avoided by taking in more revenue.
Last council made a step in that
direction, but unfortunately step.
ped on itself. 1t passed law al
lowing foreign capital to work our
mines, but charged such a high
royalty that no capitalist would
take hold Of the work, thus defeat
ing its own aim. Council said that
capitalists should pay the nation a
royalty of s4.00 per ton for every
ton of lead they should take out.
Kansas charges no royalty what
ever. If only two per cent. was
charged, capital would work our
mines and fill our treasury; other
wise we must ever leave our lead
where il is.
