A MISTAKE. SURELY.


Notwithstanding the fact that
Chief Harris. OF the Cherokees,
declares there is nothing in the
rumored compromise between the
Cherokees and the Cherokee claim
ants, whereby the claimants are to
accept 100 acres of land each in
the Cherokee Strip and sum to-
tai of $3.50, 900 in lieu Of their inn
provements in the home tract Of
Cherokees, reliable advices from
Washington indicate that there is
something in the rumor. This
much is certain, the senate COM
mittee is convinced that a COM
promise should be effected to pre-
serve the rights oi all concerned
and both the Cherokee delegates
and citizenship delegates have ex-
pressed an inclination to COM
promise if their constituents would
agree. .-Muskogee Phoenix.
How, after reading the testimony
taken before the subcommittee, the
Phoenix or any one else could pos
sibly arrive at the above conclusion
we are entirely unable to under
stand. Mr.. Boudinot stated to the
committee explicitly that his peo-
pie would all oppose any COM
promise whereby the intruders
would have to be paid by the
Cherokee nation and that they
would never consent to an arrange
ment Of that kind. Gov. Sayre
stated to the committee that he re.
garded the intruders as trespassers
and did not think that the govern
ment was under any obligations
whatever to provide for them. No
member of the committee at any
time even indicated that the Cher.
okee nation should be forced
to pay these people for trespass-
ing on .leir domain.

A FRAUD ON ADvnRTrsHRs.

Ivey,the Tahlequah Telephones
editor has awakened from two or
three weeks retirement" and
his first exploits are. as usual, of
a decidedly shady character. Last
week he got out supplement con-
tanning three columns of THE
CHIEFrAIN's old list of stock
brands, without authority from any
Of the owners OF the brands, for
the purpose of deceiving the
live stock commission merchants
and other advertisers into the be-
lief that the Telephone has circu-
lation and standing among the cat
tie men, and also their patronage.
This silly attempt to perpetrate a
fraud upon the advertisers will
h hardly materialize. 1t clearly il
illustrates, however, the weakness
and duplicity of Gus Ivey, and will
doubtless cause a blush of shame
to mantle the cheeks of his friends
(if he has any.)

hold land on the Strip and that
the government dcducts s1.40 per
acre for the land so held from the
money belonging to the 'ohole peo-
pie is an unjust discrimination.
Again; there we're not seventy
bonafde settlers on the Outlet, but
seventy claims we're allowed, and
hence the disgraceful scramble of
some of our citizens to be placed
upon the roll of seventy to be made
out. This has led unscrupulous
parties all over the nation, some
of whom never saw the Strip, to
seek to obtain recognition as be-
longing To the seventy, and has
probably been the cause of Mr..
Jourdan suddenly looming up as
attorney(O and with the help of
his "stool pigeons" in this town to
secure fee Of s25. from many who
are credulous enough TO believe
that thereby they will be able to
obtain something for nothing.

-hExTRAoTs FROM REPORT
OF the Sub Committee, Regarding
Cherokee Affairs.

In his testimony before the sem
ate subcommittee on Indian af-
fairs, on the subject of intruders,
Delegate Boudinot said.
Yes, sir; we have passed laws
against it. / want 10 say that the
act of intrusion itself is bareiaced
and naked that these very parties
have come there and so far con-
formed to the Cherokee law as to
make application for citizenship
to the proper authorities, but, be-
ing rejected, have ignored the
Cherokee law, and made improve
ments before that question of cit
izenship was in any manner estab-
lished or settled. There could be
no excuse. and, the way we under
stand it, by your principles of law,
no right in law or equity for naked
intrusion. We claim, upon the
various authorities to which you
have been cited and the various
treaties, and your decisions of the
supreme court, that the right is
entirely in us to settle these ques-
tions; that il the intruder is in any
manner whatever maintained in
that country, kept there, it will be
at the expense of some unques-
toned Cherokee citizen by blood;
that within our country now, with
its present population, and exclud-
ing that which we propose to cede
to you, there does not remain TO
an individual Cherokee more than
seventy acres of tillable land. So
that it is altogether out of the
question to ask the Cherokees to
divide with this intruding element
or in any manner make a sale OF
land to them, because we now
know that the next generation
must seek diversified labor; that
they cannot find land enough to
cultivate and make a living there.
from.
We have the same feeling oil
humanity among our people that
you have, We do not like the idea
of driving any people before a bay
onet. At the same time when we
are trespassed upon and in the
manner we have been by these in
truders, and when we know that
from the very first trespass up Ia
the very last, where we have had
opportunity, we have prayed the
government of the United States
TO remove them. and it has mol
been done, we feel that the United
States and not the Cherokee ma.
ton is to blame for nine-t -tenths oi
the people who are located there
to-day. We complained when
there were not fifty, not twenty
five there, and we asked their re-
noval. But the department o.
the government in whose hands
that matter was placed did not dc
il; and from the time of the frs
intrusion, something near twenty
years ago, tie apathy and refusa
of the government TO act in The
matter has been an encouragement
to induce the balance of those in
truders TO come.

j. S. HOLDEN, the festive editor
of the Muldrow Register, devotes
the first page of his last issue to
what he probably thinks is a COM
plete vindication of his character.
Holden has been altogether too
fresh and his abuse and denuncia-
tion Of the Cherokee authorities
has done the cause he espouses
more harm than good. He is now
placed in the unenviable position
of having to vindicate himself by
the affidavits Of his friends. OF
course this is no proof Of his inno-
cence, as any living man could
procure affidayits in abundance.
This is one Of the methods OF the
citizenship association. They are
trying to get rights in the country
by the use of afiidavits, which will
never succeed. Holden has had a
good deal Of rope and has cut a
wide swarth in this country but
"his sins have found him out" and
now even the Watts citizenship
association cannot save him. Yeri-

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT THOMPSON.
Gentlemen and fellow members
of the Indian Territory Medical
Association: 1t has been the GUS
tom for ages for the retiring presi-
dents Of our honorable bodies to
deliver an address upon some sub
ject of their own selection. I'm
fortunately l am no public speaker,
neither am | gifted with that flow
of pen, essential to the getting up
of creditable article; however the
spirit characteristic of our proles-
sion is, "the will not the deed. F"
II is useless to say that l appre-
ciate, beyond expression, the
position that | now occupy. The
time will come when the history
of the Indian Territory Medical
Association, though in its infancy
now, will be magnificent subject
upon which its retiring presidents
can write. We are laying or have
lain the foundation for one Of the
grandest medical associations on
the American continent, if we
choose TO make it such. Think for
a moment, OF the elegance of the
field in which we have to ope-
rate. Every reputable physician
clan of the entire Indian and Ok
lahoma territories does himself a
gross injustice when he fails TO
come forward and lend helping
hand in this work; and why? The
territory now, not so much how
ever as a few years ago, is looked
upon as being pasture whose
gates are open to all alike, regard
less of credentials or qualifications.
Such being an undisputed fact and
known TO the laity as well as the
profession, should we be surprised
when we find the confidence of our
patients shaken? The citizenship
of our territory is of an intelligent
kind and so long as our profession
is at a low ebb we may expect
those whose financial condition
will permit, to fly to the states
when a case of any gravity, medi-
cal or surgical, presents itself. We
have talent in the territory-talent
unsurpassed by that Of the states
we are not only qualified but pre-
pared TO make the most difficult
diagnosis, TO skilfully perform the
most complicated surgical opera
tions, and 10 aid nature in over
coming disease. II lie plain then,

THE United States will deduct
s1.40 per acre for every acre re-
served for the seventy people that
are to hold land on the Strip. This
comes out of money due the whole
people and these seventy people
will get as much per capita money
as any body else, and besides hold
an equal interest in the home
tract ofland. This is nothing more
nor less than infamous robbery.

SECTION six of Mr.. Peel's bill for

the owner of real estate in any city
or town of the United States the
aggregate value of which snail ex.
