THE LAND DON'T INCREASE.

The lands of the Cherokee
nation shall remain common prop
erty." So says the constitution.
According to the usual acceptation
Of the term, common property"
would mean belonging to all alike,
and probably the trainers of the
constitution meant the land to be
held literally in common, as the
air and water, and at the time our
constitution was framed, it was
even possible for such a view to
have been taken. So far as the
average Cherokee citizen was con
cerned the land was as unlimited
as anyone could desire, and every
one could have the "use and occu-
pancy" of as much land as he de
sired without infringing upon the
rights of others, and the major por-
ton of the Cherokee lands were
unoccupied at all. Under those
circumstances it was an altogether
satisfactory way of holding land
but in the discussion of the land
question it is necessary to notice
that the situation has entirely
changedand instead of a surplus OF
land there is none but what is in
use, aud instead Of being held il
common it is steadily going int,
the hands Of a few men. Undei
existing conditions that part Of tn
constitution above mentioned hai
become imperative. NotWith
standing the constitution says th'
land shall remain common prop
erty everyone knows that it il
not common property.
Again, Of this common prop
ertv" the Delawares are guaranteed
I60 acres per head which woul'
seem to be in violation Of tn
spirit if not Of the letter Of the con
stitution. As the population in
creases a. matter Of course th
per capita share Of each citze
must decrease and i'll only logiea

ALLorrING INDIAN LANDS,

A Washington dispatch Of the
1st says the Indian bureau is tax
ing steps to allot 100000 acres
Of Indian lands where treaties have
been formed for that purpose, but
not yet ratified, so that when con-
gress ratiies the treaties very little
time will be consumed in throwing
the surplus lands open to settle
ment. The lands are those Of the
Wichitas, 500, 600 acres, and Of the
Kickapoos. 10000 acres, in the
Indian Territory. The importance
Of this step will appear in 8 clearer

DEAR SIR;-We have observed
the call for the democratic terri
torial convention of Oct 9th, 1892,
at South McAlester, with your
name attached. 1t is drawn in
such a manner that we have
doubted its genuineness in regard
to your signature. Please advise

WHATEVER may be said of
Henry Georges theory of holding
land in common, it is conceded
that the system would have to be
universal or it would be entirely
impracticable. If the United
States should adopt the George
system her ports would have to
be closed against emigration or the
land-hungry from all lands would
food this American continent until
there would not be standing room
Then they would get some little
knowledge of the Intruder" ques-
ton. This we believe to be only
fair illustration Of the impracti-
cability of the Cherokees holding
their lands in common in the face
of all the rest Of the world hold
ing by individual title.
