EVERY town Of any pretension
should have public Improvements,
even though they cost money
which comes out of the property
owners. They are the ones who
are benefited and hence ought to
pay for them. The business en-
terprise and progress Of all towns
is measured by the amount and
character of its improvements, and
when the people of Vinita are con-
vinced that the money will be ju-
diciously used in the way of city
improvements il will be forth
coming-not before. The present
mayor and city council are zeal
ously engaged in trying to better
the condition financially, and every
other way, of Vinita. Their work
is gratuitous; their task is a hard
one; heretofore it has been thought
TO be an impossible one. Under
the circumstance THE CHTEFTAIN
is of the opinion that all should
lend helping hand in placing the
city on a better footing financially.
We need better side walks and bet
ter streets and cleaner alleys. 1t
would be a source of pleasure TO
every resident of the place to have
it so, and to the property owners
and business men there is money

THE PLACE TO BEGIN.


OF all the grave problems that
confront the Cherokee people at
the present time none have as
sumed so grave an aspect as the
intruder question and none are OF
so much importance to the bona
fide citizens at this time. As much
as The CHIEFTAIN favors allot-
ment of lands in severalty, it be-
lieves that the intruder question
should be settled fully and finally
before allotment could or should
come. A vast portion of our land
il in the possession of non citizens.
They are building their homes and
making their farms on every hand
They are socially and morally
Iningling with our people so thor
oughly that their removal seems
almost out OF the question. But
they still come. Every honest.
sober.minded citizen of this coun-
try should ponder this question
thoroughly and dispassiohately.
All petty differences should =.
Iuu dsIue anu our people shuuld
come together like one man and in
view of the gravity Of the situation
agree upon concerted action in
this, the greatest Of all dangers
that menace the Cherokee peo-
pie. The press Of the country in
stead of pickering and spatting
about "circulation" and "lndian
blood" and reformed lives, " and
engo ging in little, dirty, person
alities, should unite in one grand
common warfare upon the common
enemy. What does it matter
whether the Telephone has a great
er circulation than the Sentinel so
far as regards the intruder ques-.
tien? What sensible citizen cares
whether Gus Iyey has more or
less Indian blood than some other
citizen, or whether there be 1000
or 10000 fullblood Cherokees in
this nation? Every true citizen
should be in duty bound to use
his utmost endeavors to settle fin
ally and ultimately this, the great
est of all questions that affect the
welfare of the citizens of this ma
tion. But how does it happen
that so many claimants are here
asking admission into the country
as citizens? One reason is, doubt
less, that they want homes. But
that is not the grand reason why
such vast numbers are here. The
reason is just this; Some Of our
Cherokee citizens who are so
ready TO boast of their Indian
blood are going out into the states
continually and begging, and per
suading people TO come in and
prove up right. We have men
who have followed this business
for years and have brought in
claimants by the score. Yet these
very fellows are ready upon the
slightest provocation to jump up
and say 81 am Cherokee by
blood; ] am loyal p" No wonder
the United States government is
slow to put out the intruder when
they know how great many Of
them get in here. IL a sinking |
ship is TO be saved, the holes must
be stopped. Aiier all inlets are !
closed, then the pumping out can
proceed. So with the intruder
question; the mighty influx must be
stopped before ii will do any good
to put anybody out. Some of our
Cherokee by blood attorneys are
even now reaping harvest of
claimants 10 citizenship, and after
having gone out into the highways
aud hedges, and lanes. and almost
compelled them to come in. after
neeced them Of their
they raise a great hue and
,ry against 'iniruders.n

a Rnop STnr,y-

John Waters had a narrow escape from being arnihilated by bear in the HuacSuca mountains on Sunday last He had killed a she bear and one cub and was removing tie entrs'ls from the former, when he heard d noise above him on the trail His first thought was that a herd of cattle were stamped iDg somewhere in the vicinity. He look e1 up from his work and saw within thirty fezt from him an immense bear coming at him. He seized the rifle, which was at his side, and fired, but missed the mark, The enraged animal came straight on without a halt, and when within ten feet of Waters, he fired again, the bullet hitting the bruin right absve the eyes. Waters had hunted bear enough to have the sense to jump to one side and let the brute have the right of way. As soon as he was struck he tum bled like a huge rock, and the momentum carried him away past where Waters stood.
 He was a giant and weighed 500 pounds. His skIn was purchased by o. c. Smith, whO will send It east to be tanned. The bear was a silver tip and the skin is a magnificent ope.-Pros- UeCtOr.

A Hitch in the BoaI Sale.

Another delay has been encountered in the matter of the Territorial bond deal or not properly in the matter Of the Geal but in the ''cOnsumatOn de- vouty to be wished for" the receipt of the proceeds.
 The bonds had been duly accepted by the equitable Mortgage and Trust com panY and the contract signed by the company when it's attorney or Mir. Dl- lon who is attorney for several similar institutions iO New York, discovered q flaw which the company alleges make 1 the bonds non negotiable. That is they are legally negotiable but the flaw de- prives them Of their desirabilty to such an extent that they might pIaoti-' cally become non-negotiable for the purpose of the present purchaser. The objection though appears to be only technical one which can not ap- parsntly affect tue bonds. Upon the back Of the bonds are the words "paya- ole m legal money of the United States" To comply strictly with the law MT. Dillon says this should read, payable m gold coin or it's equivalent" and the company insists that the bonds shall be so amended.
 It IS somewhat singular that this mat ter had not been discovered earlier and It would seem that the objection has been entered too late inasmUch as the contract has already been signed
 In the advertisement for bids the territory proposed to furnish 8 legal bond, so 1t remains to be determined wEetho TT the bonds are legal. Even though the contract has been signed and would OrdlOarily bind the signers, # 1t can be shown that the bonds are not such as were advertised, the subee- quent proceedings were irregular, and while the purchaser might rot be able to free himself serious complications would be engendered.
 The company's objection is not alto gether bubble, for while now the ex- presslons Legal money of the United States" and "Gold coin or its eouiya- lent" are synonymous within the mean ing of the law and the advertisement. future legislation may make them wide ly different.
 Territorial officials are disposed to &C., cede to the demand of the purchasers aud avoid possible litigation. Governor Murphy was in conference with Attor- ney-Gsneral Herring last Tuesday at Tombstone, bat what they agreed upon lis not known. To remedy the defect would be practically Q re issue. No erasure, addition or interlineation may be made upon the bonds. They are steel engraved and it IS also impossible to make the required change in the original plate.
 The suspicion that the objection made by the purchaser is q quibble to pave the way for the IinaLcancellatlOn of the contract is rot well grounded. The Equitable Mortgage and Trust con- pany has expressed qualification on &C., count of having obtained the bonds and nothing has since occurred which could | have given it's bargain a lower value Republican.

HEY FIGHT IN JAPAN.
The Noble Art Is PractIced and Taught
 In That Lands

n That Lands
 ''The noble art of self-defense," as practiced in Japan, has just been 1ueidly explained by Japanese gentleman in lecture delivered in the hall of the Society of Arts. The science was first brought from China in the sixteenth century, and is now taught in the nu- mcrOus schools all over the country.
 At TOlliO. says tho GalliCnani Messen- ger, where the chief institution is situ- ated, thousands of young men annually undergo a course of training, and all the policemen of the city are compelled to show efficiency in the art before they are engaged. The science differs from the British system of self-defense in that it seeks to obtain victory by in genuity and cXpertness, coupled with knowledge of certain anatomical facts, rather than by mere force
 Some practical experiments with the interesting science were given by two t-Er57ZTTes,- gentlemen, who, despite the fact that they Professed themselves mere uoviccs; Illustrated in a very strill- ing way the ingenuity of the Japanese method of overcoming an enemy. Alto gether it was a most interesting even ing. and if the Japan society goes on as well as it has commenced, it will make a name for itself.
