Total

| The area of the above described lands
Is 1894 square miles greater than Rhode
| Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Delaware combined. almost enough
left to make half state as large as Mas
sachusetts)
This vast area is now occupied BY
about 5000 Indians and squaw-men and
By few cattlemen, and by the United
States soldiers at Fort Sill. Il is trav-
ersed by the Arkansas Salt Fork, Cimar-
ron, North and South Canadians, and
Washita rivers, bordering on the North
Fork and on the main Red river, capable
of furnishing homes for four or five
hundred thousand people, having a
splendid climate, and producing grain,
fruit, grass and vegetables of every va
riety known to the north temperate
zone.
1t is a matter of great interest to our
people, as well as to the whole people of
the United Ssates, to know, when and
how these lands shall be opened. Those
OF us who procured homes in Oklahoma
proper gre in full sympathy with
the movement inaugurated in
in some of the western counties, which
has for its object aPrayer to congress to
put tH6tu anu I'LL lutUFo SeCtleIS upon
Oklahoma soil on an equal footing with
our first settlers; that is, let them have
their lands for the ordinary homestead
fee and for settlement and cultivation.
1t will be also urged by our people that
congress, in view of the fact that many
OF the good lands, under its present
policy, viii be allotted to harmless but
shiftless people and withdrawn from
sale and taxation for a quarter of a CEN
fury, will make liberal donations of
these lands for our schools and public
buildings.
There is growing feeling of unrest
among the people of Oklahoma as to
whether the policy of allo:ting the In
dians Gu the choicest lands of our terri
tory and making these lands inalienable
and non-taxable for twenty-five years is
fair and just 10 Us, and whether, if the
policy is still persisted in, our future
prosperity and progress will not be seri-
ously retarded. Many of us believe,
from cur acquaintance with and obseT-
walton of the average Indian and his
habits, that it would be better for him
aud for us that the United States govern
ment buy from him all his allotted
lands. except forty acres for q home to
each head of family; borrow the price
of the land from him and pay him inter-
est semi-annually on the money. We
shall probably ask to be heard next win
ter before congress on these questions.

Uncle Jerry's Revenge.

From the New York Times. NOV. IL.
We infer that the opinions of Score
tary Rusk about the political uses of a
duty on hides have been softened and
very preceptibly changed in the last few
days. 1t was after the election of one
year ago in Massachusetts, that Mr.. Rusk
urged the imposition of duty on hides
in order that the rebellious voters of
that state should "have something to
kick about" The New York Tribune
reported his remarks at the time: 1.-The
duty was kept off to please the New
England people, and if this is the way
they return favors they should be given
something to kick about" Now lie dis
covers "a change of public sentiment as
to the tariff" The reform spirit is
growing" he says, 'and the result has
been clean sweep" The secretary was
dreaming about getting revenge b. put
ting that duty on hides, and he awoke to
see the people hanging his own hide on
the fence
