1t is not unlikely that the pol
itics of this country will, in the
future be largely controlled by the
democratic and republican parties
of the states. Both these parties
are organizing their forces in the
Indian Territory now, indeed an
unusual amount of activity is be-
ing displayed among the adherehts
of both. While our condition is
somewhat anomalous it is remark
able that the party lines have not
been drawn ere this. The people
of this country, although they have
10 vote, are as much interested in
the politics of the states as though
the lived in the states, and each
party should be in a position to
demand of its party whatever of
party patronage may be at Its dis
posal.

THE sale of beer in this territory
will either be stopped promptly,
or it will become Cne of the insti-
tious OF the country A great final
organized onslaught upon this
country, an attack all along the
line, as it were, is now being made
by the beer men; the issue Is al
last forced upon the people of the
whole country at once. If those
who are not willing to see this
fair land polluted and debauched,
its women and children insulted
and Inundated, have anything to
say now is the time TO say 1t. The
press, too, must show its hand,
and We are glad to note the unam-
idity with which it is coming out
against it.

Office of Indian Affairs. !
X. T. Slovel. Esq, Sallisaw, |. T.
WAsHIYGToY, April y, 1892
In reply to your communication
of April u, 1892, / have to advise
you that in the case Of the Eastern
Cherokees, tc..QE U. 5. 311,)
the Supreme Court decided as
follows:
"If Indians in that State North
Carollna), or in any other state
east of the Mississippi, wish to en-
Joy the benefits of the common
property of the Cherokee Nation,
in whatever form it may exist, they
must, as held by the court of claims
comply with the constitution
an laws of the Cherokee nation and
be permitted to citizenship as
there provided"
Application for citizenship
should therefore, be submitted to
to the authorities OF that Nation
and from their decision in such
cases there Is no appeal.
BY communicating with Hon.
c. J. Harris, Principal Chief OF
the Cherokee Nation, Tahlequah =,
Indian Territory, you will doubt
less receive further information on
the subject.
You are also advised that an APP
plicant for citizenship in the Cher
okee Nation can have no rights
therein until he shall have been
lawfully admitted to citizenship in
accordance with the local laws OF
the Nation. And further, that he
should enter the Nation prior to
such admission, and make improve
ments there in he would do SO at
his own risk, and would DC liable TO
removal as an intruder.
Very respectfully,
NJ. J. Belt Asst Com.
