bly insist that Prince Abbas. the eldest

NO CAUSE FOR FEAR.

II isa notable fact that the In
dians Of the Indian Territory are
receiving a good share Of the at
tention Of congress just at this
particular time, and ii is altogeth-
er suggestive that steps will be ta-
ken in the near future that will ef-
feet a change in the autonomy of
the five nations of this territory.
Bills have been introduced in both
houses of congress that, were they
to become laws, would materially
change the status of the Cherokee
nation. Our affairs have COM
manded the attention of the de-
partment of the interior and the
personal notice of the president of
the United States. More than two
years have been consumed by the
commissioners in securing ses-
sion Of the outlet, whereby the
Cherokees part with more than
one-half their entire landed in
terests. Is il not about time that
we, as a people, should wake up
and take a hand in the changes
that are of such far naaohing con
sequences to us? There never was
a time in the history of the Chero-
KEGS when they so much needed TO
be honestly and ably represented in
Washington as now. There is no
reason under the sun why we can
not have IA great deal to do with
shaping the legislation in congress
that will affect US as a people; in
deed, it is part of the policy OF
the government and ever has been
for the members of any tribe to be
instrumental in shaping all legisla-
ton that p ertains in any way to
them as Indians. If we could
have careful, honest men in Wash
ington to anticipate every move
ment that in any way affects US,
and use their endeavors in explain.
ing the situation and use their in.
huence in drafting bills that ben
eft us, we should absolutely have
nothing to fear from congress.
