are located. But. will they stay
there2 Oh no; they will never
stay anywhere long, while there
are any Indian lands not open for
settlement. They must be moving
on. Probably the next rush will
be "On to the Strip" When In
dian land is once open to the
boomer, after the first grand rush,
it loses all the attraction it may
have had. The charm is gone. A
boomer would scorn the idea OF
settling down upon land that had
not come fresh from some Indian
reservation. In other words, he
would not have a place that he did
not need u "gun" to protect. The
Kansas boomer has done more to
open Indian lands to white settle
ment than the whole United States
army.
The Indian problem that has
puzzled the intellects of statesmen
and philanthropists alike for CEN
turies, is fast being solved by the
Kansas boomer, but in few deet-
ing years his occupation will be
gone. In another decade there
will be no Indian lands to open
judging from the present outlook
and then the government will
probably pension the surviving
boomers, and their memory will be
perpetuated in song and story
along with John Brown and Jenni-
son and Jim Lane, of early Kansas
fame. But there is one thing thu
Indian race should be especially
proud of, and that is, there are ne
Indian boomers no Indian tribe
has ever produced boomer. Yot
may call him a "wild, untutoreC
savage, +" but not a boomer. H'
may contend for his own rights al
he understands them, but he sci
dom, if ever, interferes with thu
rights of others.

BETTER ALLoTT.


II seems to be the universal
opinion that some law restricting
the wholesale monopoly of the
public domain will be enacted at
the next council. A prominent
member Of that body was heard to
remark the other day that he would
introduce bill to allow no one to
fence more land than their pro rata
share would be If a division was
had. The question would natural
ly arise "what is a pro rata share
of the land2' Some kind Of a cal
culation would have to be made in
order to know how much to allow
an individual to occupy. Now,
would it not be far better to go
further and settle the land ques-
ton, once for all, by sectionizing
and allotting. That would surely
put an end to monopoly. That
would restrict each individual to
his or her pro rata share. In our
opinion all restrictions and at
tempts to protect the public do
main will be almost futile and
afford only temporary relief at best.
This people have reached a point
in civilization where they no long
er need the fostering care of a
guardian. They no longer need to
be wards of the government, They
are OF age and no legal disabilities
are in the way of their taking
charge of their own affairs, and
it is worse than folly for people
as far advanced as the Cherokees
to hold their lands in common.
The system of commonalty OF
lands was only intended for unclv-
ilized and nomadic tribes of In
dams and even then only as a tenn
porary arrangement to obtain until
they became acquainted with the
methods of civilization. None ol
the surrounding states can boast Of
a better educated, better clothed
and better equipped people gener-
ally than the Cherokees are, and
it is easy to see the absurdity oI
clinging to the primitive way by
holding lands in common. But il
it was ever the best way that time
has most assuredly passed. The
time has come when if we would
maintain our existence as a separ.
ate commonwealth, having special
privileges, such as controlling oul
own land and governing ourselves,
we must individualize our LAND
title. The United States has about
decided that no Indian title held in
common, is good That undoubt
edly is the line of policy to be car
ried out by the general government
and Judge Green's late decision i:
in keeping with that line of policy

THE BOOMER.

The disgraceful scenes enacted
when Oklahoma was opened two
years ago the 22d of last April and
repeated again the 22d of last
month, must be distasteful to the
general government. For the cid-
zens of a great government to re-
sort to such methods must certain
ly be humiliating in the extreme.
When Guthrie was located a mans
ability to hold a claim, especially
town lot, depended largely upon
his skill in the use of "gun. "
Every mans house was his castle,
literally, and the average boomer
carried his capital in his hip
pocket. Possession was everything
and not a few settlers found their
houses pried into the street and
another in possession by right of
conquest; but this was the natural
sequence of the boomer way of
settling boomer land. In other
words, this was boomer warfare,
pure and simple. The zenith of
boomer ambition had been reached,
After the first grand rush and the
subsequent clashing of interests,
after the principal killings and
riots are over, then the boomer
sinks into a condition of innocuous
desuetude until he sees a pros
pect for other Indian lands being
opened. No other kind of lands
have any attraction for the boomer.
He naturally covets Indian land
and wouldn't have any other kind.
1t is for the invasion of Indian
land that he lives and waits and
builds prairie schooners. 1t is for
the prospect Of getting Indian land
that he owns a "gun" and is will
ling to take the life of his fellow
man or lose his own in the effort.
Kansas is the natural home of the
boomersi her soil produces them to
perfection. There they live, move
and have their being. There they
grow to the full statue Of "boom-
erhood." Kansas furnished the
boomers for the opening of the
Sioux reservation. On that event
a line Of prairie sehaoners reached
from Wichita 10 Cheyenne. When
No-Man's-Land was opened for
settlement thousands of BOOM
ers could be seen vending
their way to that land "fiow-
ing with milk and honey"
Then, "On to Oklahoma " was
passed along the line, and now the
rush to the Sac and Fox and Iowa
lands, just over, is part Of the same
''irrepressible conflict" Kansas
probably grows more boomers than
any other crop, unless it is fam
mortgages. A new town Is being
Quilt along on the line between the
Sac and Fox and Iowa lands called
the Boomers Glory. No more
fitting name could have been given.
Here the dance house, the blind
tiger on wheels, the fakir, the out
law, the Wild, the Buffalo, and all
the other Bills that occupy such
prominent part in Kansas history,

CITIZENSHIP MEETING.
Proceedings of the Meeting Held
At Alton.

The Cherokee Citizenship asso.
citation met at Alton last Monday,
about fifty strong@ r. Chastain
was called to the chair and Rev.
N. j. Crawford to act as secretary
After prayer, w. j Watts was
calledfor and entered into a detailed
statement OF the workings of the
association, showing advantages
OF membership, etc. Several new
members were enrolled.
A committee reported by read.
ing a memorial praying congress
to provide some means for settling
the vexed question Of citizenship
and to allot the lands in severalty
which was adopted. The meeting
then adjourned until Tuesday. On
reassembling the following resolu.
tions were adopted:
Resolved, that the memorial
adopted by this association be
circulated throughout the nation
as soliciting the signatures of the
whole people as memorialists for
the end set forth in said memorial
and that immediate action be
taken to secure the signatures OF
the officials of the Delaware and
Shawnee tribes, also Of the colored
population of the Cherokee nation
Resolved, that the committee on
memorial be and they are hereby
constituted a committee to see
that at least 500 copies of said
memorials are printed for circula-
ton among the people by such
agencies as will solicit signatures
to the same, calling in said printed
copies not later than the Goth day
of November, 1891, checking on
the treasurer for the necessary
money.
Whereas, from time to time
members of this association are
annoyed and often incur expense
from forced litigation,
Resolved, therefore, that it i:
the sense of this association thai
we should throw protection around
the membership thus suffering
and that the treasurer be author
lied to assist with any means il
his hands not otherwise appro
priated, such victims of injustice
and that as individual members we
will use of our personal means tC
prosecute those who unlawfully
attempt such injustice.
A resolution was also adopted
thanking the trustees tor the use o
the building occupied, requesting
publication of proceedings and alst
calling upon members to pay theil
dues with promptness.

WEE INpTANs NEED Law

The Indian people need more
law for their protection, although
many are adverse to the idea of
having more laws passed for the
protection of their country. Re-
member the protection you now
have is by the laws of the United
States, otherwise the intruders
would fill your country as they have
Oklahoma, with a rush and hurrah.
You are protected by United States
law, and that law is still defective
in certain important particulars
relating to your welfare.
You have introduced many white
laborers, and with these laborers
lawfully resident, intruders have
entered. The present laws are
totally inadequate to remove the
annoyance oecasioned by the in
truding element, and the duty rests
on you who want the law changed,
who need the law changed, to see
that the law is changed to meet
your necessities. You should
devise a method that would be
practicable, that would be effective.
You should present that method
and the drafting Of the law to the
judiciary committee of the senate
Of the United States aud Of the
house Of representatives Of the
United States and get their support
for it because it is right and be-
cause it is necessary to make efiec-
tive the promises of the United
States government made to you by
treaty. This duty is upon you as
highly civilized people, and
when you shall have performed
this duty you will no longer be
troubled BY the INTRUDER ques-
ton.

THE CATTLE MARKET.

The cattle receipts at Kansas
City, St. Louis and Chicago this
week are falling off some, compared
with the previous, but they are
still too large to help the market
very materially. The daily aver
age at Chicago last week was l6, 900
head. Everything below strictly
fancy beeves sold at ruinous
prices. Taken altogether the cat
tie market has been unsatisfactory
this whole season for range cattle,
with little prospect of being better
any time soon. Some of our clos.
est calculators among the stock
men claim they will make very
little money this season.
