ers Of the soil, aud the interests of
this class Of citizens Of the United
States are utterly irreconcilable,
and as the plan proposed can only
lead to dissensions, strife and ulti-
mately to the dissolution Of your
nationality, and ms the use Of the
good name ofthe Democratic party
of the United States is, in this
matter, an abuse of it, and only

is no law, either of the United

To the Cherokee People;
As my attention has been called

by these individuals, and styled
by them, Democratic Territorial

tion is to meet at McAlester, in the

October next; aud as the object OF
the "call" as stated in the second
item thereof, among other things,

Gratis of the Indian Territory shall

Eens Of the United States, whose

The Indian citizens of Canadian
district, Cherokee nation, are, as
a class, intelligent and well to do
people. Not a few of the leading
political lights of the entire ma
tion reside in this district, and it
has always produced more than its
share of prominent men aud patri-
otic citizens. There has been a
great awakening among the Cana
dian citizens the past few weeks.
They have been considering
with themselves and with others
the present condition OF affairs and
the outlook in the future as re.
CARDS their lands. Being reason
able men and men who take care
of their families and desirous of
leaving an inheritence TO their
children, Uley realize the sore
straights into which they are be-
ing crowded. They see that their
landed interests are constantly
slipping away. They realize that
while the number of citizens and
clsimants is constantly nm Lhe i'm
crease their landed estates do not
increase and know full well that
every day marks a decrease in the
per capita share of each citizen.
Alter holding meetings and weigh
ing well all the circumstances they
have almost unanimously come to
the only logical and just conclu-
sion possible. They want their
lands allotted and they want them
allotted quickly. They want to
see in person the senate committee
that is soon to visit the Cherokee
nation, and lay before this COM
lnittee the facts just as they are
and show to the committee that
these boo-hoo politicians and lob
byists do not express the sentl-
ment of the common citizen when
they cry down allotment and pro-
gression as being unjust and un.
wished for by the average Indian
citizen. Phoenix.

THEY MIsRRPRnsENT Us

The Oklahoma Evening Gazette
Of last Monday contains the follow
ing: "There are in the Cherokee
nation 25.357 Indians and 27, ,l76
white men. The Indians are
largely mixed with negro blood,
and their increase is probably
slight"
The Gazette is II near neighbor,
and has generally been fair in its
dealings with questions effecting
the Indians; but, IN this case, il is
esther grossly igaorant Of the
Cherokee's true status or is wan
toniy and purposely misrepresent-
ing them. The Gazette is welcome
to either horn Of the dilemma il
may choose. But what are the
facts in the case: The entire cit
izen population Of the Cherokee
nation is a little over 26,0OO all
told, cherokees, Shawnees, Del.
awares. adopted whites and negroes
according 70 the census Of 1880
Az TO being largely mixed with
negro blood" there is probabI,
not fifty Cherokee families in tn,
whole nation mixed with African
blood. The Gazette should re
membsr that truth Is yet strange
than fiction.

Sixty Million Bushels OF Wheat
A Bushel 70 Evey Inhabitant
of the United states. The
Kansas Crop OF 'o2.

Never in the history Of Kansas
has that state had such bountiful
crops as this year. The farmers
cannot get enough hands TO harvest
the great crop, aud the Santa Fe
railroad has made special rates
from Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, river towns, TO induce har-
vest hands to go into the state.
The wheat crop of the state will be
from sixty 10 sixty-fve million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is a
very large one; the early potatoes,
rye, barley, and oat crops are made
and are all large. The weather has
been propitious for corn, and it is
the oleanest, best looking corn to be
found in the country to-day.
Cheap rates will be made from Chi
cago, ST. Louis, and all points on
the Santa Fe east Of the Missouri
river, TO all Kansas points, on Aug.
ust 80 and September q, and these
excursions will give o chance iol
