THE CREEK DELEGATES.


Chief Perryman and the dele
gates, G w. Grayson, Roley Nc.
lntosh, A. p. McKellop and Is.
parhecher went TO Washington last
week. The chief, in conversing
with a reporter at St Louis, with
reference to their method Of watch
ing the doings OF congress, said :;
1--WE deem it best to keep up this
practice. We are getting along
nicely ir our nation, and want TO
be left alone. We spend over
1000 to $4,000 a year in watch
ing the movements of congress.
Congress. you know, is composed
Of men representing all kinds Of
interests, and they may spring
measures that would be harmful
to our interests. and have them
passed before their purpose is
fully understood if we do not keep
an eye on them Measures are
sometimes advanced that would in
terrere WIN our welfare. though
they may not be intended for that
purpose Our people have fine
farms and raise "A large amount of
stock We spend large sums of
money each year on our schools
and our people are intelligent. "

A SENSIBLE VIEW.


A we'll known and prominent
Cherokee remarked the other day
that what the people of the Chcro-
kee nation most need is unity We
have five classes of citizens-Cher-
okees, Delawares, Shawnees, ne
groes and whites. All should be
interested alike in the welfare and
preservation OF the nation. ~ be-
heve" said he "all citizens are
equally interested, and can con-
ceive OF no difference and am sure
the United States government
takes this view of the matter. The
time has come for our people to
stand together. Each individual
should occupy his or her part OF
the public domain and own it in
fee simple, 1t is time to put away
whatever of sentiment or prejudice
our people may have in the matter.
We have held our land in common
so long that many of our people
cannot realize what division
would mean and are naturally
afraid Of the change. The allot-
ment question should be discussed
more fully and continually, and
the more intelligent portion who
know that it will come should not
be afraid to explain 1t on every oc.
casion. Our people have been rob
bed so much that they have about
come to the conclusion that there
is a scheme in everything that is
proposed. The intruders will be
removed, but they have most of
them got their farms and other
property in the hands of some cit
izen who will hold it for them and
defend ii in the courts if necessary.
There is absolutely no patriotism
amongst our own citizens. We are
getting too numerous and our in
terests are too diversified to be
holding anything in common.
There is feeling Of independence
among our people that is opposed
to holding property in common,
and | think it is a sign of thrift
and progress -

A MoMENToUs COUNCIL.

The council just closed was IN
many respects the most eventful
one ever held by the Cherokee
people. During the sitting of that
body the principal and assistant
chiefs passed over the river, and
their places were filed by the
national council; the office of treas
urer has been twice filed; two su-
preme judges have also been
chosen and in addition to all this
a sale and REIMBURSEMENT of title
to more than six and one-half
million acres of land has taken
place Considering all these things
it will at once be seen that the
council just ended was indeed a
momentous one. 1t marks an epoch
in the history of the Cherokee
people-their capacity for man
aging their own affairs is undergo.
ing the crucisl test; a turning point
in the history of our career as a
nation has been reached and we
cannot continue in the old beaten
track. The government should be
so modified as TO meet the exi-
gency of existing conditions. The
optimistic views of those who op-
pose the allotment must and will
be discarded. We have reached a
point at which it is better for the
masses to have their lands set
apart to each indivi dual, 8eparate-
ly. There is no longer any ad-
vantage of holding lands in COM
mon; our public domain has mar
rowed down to less than 200 acres
to the individual; a feeling of anx-
iety and unrest is plainly visible
in all classes and is taceabls to no
other cause than to the unstable
condition Of the landed interests OF
the country. Every one recog-
nizes the fact that some great
change must sooner or later come,
but with many there is a disposi-
lion to run away from the facts
and await the inevitable - the
same sentiment that held the Out
let until the last moment that it
vas safe to hold it and then sold

THAT FIFTH ARTICLE AGAIN.

A disagreement of our people in
the Strip matter at this time will
do the masses no good whatever.
Ii it be a fact that our commission
ers have robbed us in retaining
seventy reservations Of eighty acres
each, the matter should be given
publicity, and we ought, under our
own laws, to be able to deal with
them and punish them if necessary.
But to delay the acts OF congress
and jeopardize the interests Of the
whole people would not be adj
visable. If our commissioners
have betrayed the trust reposed
in them, then the people suffer.
Those men were named by the
late Chief Mayes to act for and in
behalf of the Cherokee nation. If
they have swindled US then it was
bad selection. But have we no
remedy? Must we let them 90
unpunished? or will we raise
howl only and make no effort to
protect ourselves ? If the facts
show simply that some of our citi-
zens were enterprising enough and
had faith enough in the title to the
Strip to 60 there and make i'm
provements, which all of us might
have done, then they have COM
mitted no crime. THE CHIEF
TAIN urged the people to 60 and in
an aggressive manner occupy the
Outlet and believes yet that il
could have been done. We raise
no objection when an individual
occupies thousands of acres here.
east np g6Nlegrees, but think it an
outrage for one of our citizens to
get deed to eighty acres of the
Strip after it is sold But throw
the light on; let no guilty man
escape" " This is only another
proof that the whole system needs
renovating and that the Cherokees
are exposed to the worst band of
tricksters and schemers that the
United States and this nation com
bined can muster.

The adoption law among the Cher

adoption law of the United States.
and after a citizen of that country

a citizen Of the United States In

should in all justice be enforced in
this case. Adopted into a church,

COUNCIL appropriated something
over 81 300 for the relief of w. P.
Henderson, a judgment having
been obtained against him in the
Muskogee court as sheriff of Del
aware district, in the Lasiter case.
Mr.. Henderson was sheriff from
1887 to 1899 and one of his official
acts was to put Lucy Lasiter, the
mother of Vim. Lasiter, ldeceased)
in possession OF the latter's prop
erty according to the provisions of
his will and also in accordance
with a decision of the Cherokee
courts. Betsy Lasiter, the
widow, then brought suit against
Henderson, Norwood and others
for damages in the Musk ogee
court and obtained the above
mentioned judgment. There was
a clash Of jurisdiction somewhere
and it cost the Cherokee nation
nearly $1,000. The amount ap-
propriated will hardly indemnify
Mr.. Henderson, but it was only
through his untiring efforts and
sojourn of some six weeks at
Tahlequah that he obtained any
relief.
