Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat -
A Bushel for Every 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, and the Santa Fe
railroad has made special rates
from Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, river towns, to induce har-
vest hands to g into the state.
The wheat crop Of the state will be
from sixty to sixty-fye 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 cleanest, 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 27, and these
excursions will give a chance for
eastern farmers to see what the
great sunflower state can do.

AT THR WORLDS FA1R.

For the purpose of securing ex-
hibits at the Worlds Fair next
year at Chicago, from the five
tribes, the president viii appoint
two commissioners and two alter
mates. Chief ID. w. Bushy-
head, of this nation, has been sug-
gested for one of the commissions
ers. He has the endorsement of
the chief and delegation, also Of
the supreme court, and will doubt
less receive the appointment. No
better representative of the Chero-
kee people could be selected than
Mr.. Bushyhead. He is probably
better known abroad than any Of
our public men, and his appoint
ment will insure the recognition of
the Cherokee nation. This opport-
unity of making an exhibit of our
resources in this great inter-nation-
al show should not be neglected.
We must take advantage of this
opportunity of showing to the
world our advancement in ciyiliza-
tion, in arts, and in education.
We are abundantly able to make
creditable exhibits in fruits, in
grain, in cotton, in live stock, in
all that pertains to q people that
are fully abreast Of an advanced
and enlightened civilization. Spec
linens Of our skilled labor, every
thing that we can do, all that be-
speak refined and cultured peo-
pie, should be collected and placed
upon exhibition next year at Chi
3ago.

about given up the fight. But the
salvation Of the Cherokee people
at last lies in the practical dealing
with we'll understood facts The
intelligence and respectability Of
this country must come TO the front
and take control, and not sit back
and be controlled by an unprinci-
Piled minority. We are passing
through perilous times and the
personal interests of every one are
at stake. Relief can only come
through ignoring, to some extent,
party lines and the association Of
all who have the welfare Of the
country at heartin one grand move
ment for the overthrow of the
scheming plunderers who have
to run things to suit
themselves and care not what be-

DELEGATES NOT TO BLAME.

Washington, Aug 9th, 1892
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN, DEAR SIR -.
As you are aware, congress has ad.
journed without taking action in
the Strip matter. During. the
whole session the Cherokee dele
gates, Messrs. Boudinot and Buff
fington, worked untiringly for the
ratification of the treaty in the ex-
act manner in which il was made.
without modification Of anT !,isi
whatever. But the sentiment in
both branches Of congress seems to
strongly favor the payment by the
Cherokees of the appraised value
OF the improvements made by IN
truders, where those improve
ments were made prior to 1886.
Your delegates took the position
that the law relating to occupying
claimants should apply, and that
the rental value of the land should
be taken into consideration in the
fixing of the compensation to be
given to these people, but all their
efforts and arguments were of no
avail. The truth is that this con-
gress was organized on the edo
nothing" plan, and if the whole
territory had come here to assist
your delegates the result would
have been the. same. Your people
do not understand the strength of
the organized opposition which
confronted those Of US who were
endeavoring to secure the ratifca-
ton Of this treaty. Your dele
gates soon felt that they were row.
ng against a strong tide, and al
.hough they created most favor
able impression with members of
and successfully opposed
many measures which they deem.
I'd adverse to the interests of your
people, yet nobody could have ac-
'omplished more than they did in |
he Strip negotiation. We earn.
'stly hope for better success next |
iesslon. Yours Truly,

A DUTY TO OUR COUNTRY.

Last week the two leading poIit-
ical parties of the Cherokee ma
ton h eld their annual conventions
(not nominating conventions) and it
is remarkable fact that the mass
es of the Cherokee people took no
notice whatever of the gatherings.
Now why such apathy 1t is
well known that one or the other
of these political parties will con-
troll and dictate the course of this
government. 1t is also we'll
known fact that while the country
is run by political tricksters and
party bosses we are quite as we'll
off in the hands of one political
party as another and this we be-
lieve to be the conclusion of a very
large majority of the citizens of
the Cherokee nation. We have
been controlled, largely, by un-
scrupulous demagogues, for years
and this class of professional poll
ticians are as numerous in one par
ty as the other. Further, the ma
jority of the people know it, but it |
is a singular fact that the people
will talk Indignantly about the pre-
vailing abuses in governmental af-
fairs and yet take no steps to right
them. There is prob ably no ques-
tion but what respectable, honest,
and capable citizens, are in a very
large majority, in this country, and
the reason they do not dictate the
course Of this government is simp-
ly because they do not exercise the
power they possess. Too much
is left to the professional politician
and hence we are at the mercy of
these semi-eriminal bosses that in Z
fest all countries and who have en-
tangled the Cherokee nation in a
web out of whose meshes we can
hardly expect to escape whole.
Men are frequently given positions
IF trust and responsibility simply
because they are bright and have

PHILLIPS EMPLOYMENT.

The Downing party had about as
much to do in employing Col.
Phillips as attorney for the Chero.
KEGS the last congress as it had at
any other time. The national
party seems to be very well salts
fed with the situation, anyway
However, if the delegation ex-
poets to pose before the country as
Downing men any longer some sort
of an explanation should be forth
coming. AS it now stands it places
the whole Downing party in a po-
sition that is inconsistent to say the
least. If it be true, as every stump
orator in the whole Downing ranks
declared, that Col. Phillips was
dishonest, then how are they to
explain to the waiting people their
reasons for again employing him ?
The Downing party will have an
explanation. The matter will
never be allowed togo by default.
If Col. Phillips is a proper man.
for the position of attorney for the
Cherokees, then Mr.. Boudinot
very grossly misrepresented him
here On the stump last summer.
But it is a fact known from one
end of this nation to the other that
the Downing party does not in
dorse Phillips, and that the action
Of the delegation in this matter
will not be approved by the party
that sent them to Washignton.

CHEROKEE INVESTIGATION.
Extracts From the Congressional
Record of Aug. 5.

Whereas, the Cherokee Nation OF
Indians claim that from seven to
ten thousand intruders and tres
passers have invaded and settled
in their Territory, which they in
sist it is the duty of the United
States under treaty obligations to
evict and remove therefrom and
Whereas, very many Of such in
truders have made improve
ments and claim to have secured
rights in such Territory by the per-
mission of the Cherokees and 9TH
erwise and
Whereas, there is pending in
the Houses of Congress at this
time a measure which imposes an
additional obligation upon the
United States TO remove these in
truders Therefore.
Be it resolved, That a committee
consisting of three Senators be an
pointed to visit the said territory
during the recess of Congress to
investigate the complaint and
charges Of the said Cherokees and
to ascertain all the facts incident
and pertaining thereto.
That SAID committee be author
lied to appoint a clerk, to sit during
the recess Of Congress, to admins

necessary to full investigation Of
the complaints made.

his position that the Cherokees
can allot the Strip. Senator Nor

same opinion. But would an
allotment provide any "pie" for

The Fire.Rrnnd in RnfrhIo.

The glare of the burning freight cars
in Buffalo is so intense that nothing
can be seen back OF it. If the switch
men have a real grievance it is OBJ
scured by the fierce and destructive
flames. The master OF the local lodge
says the destruction is the work Of
''tramps and buns that are always
around when there is any excitement"
There should not have been any ex-
element around the property of the
railroad companies. When men strike
they should quietly go away and leave
the premises in the peaceful possession
of those who own them.
Thegrand master of the switchmen's
Union does not quite agree with the
master Of the local lodge. He says the
destruction twas the work OF irrespon-
sible individuals who could not be con-
trolled." irresponsible and uncontrol-
liable they may have been, but hardly
tramps and bummers.
Men of that stamp would take more
interest in piundering than in mere
wanton destruction Of the companies
property under conditions which made
plumber impossible. Nor would they
be likely to be organized as these incen-
diaries must have been.
There were men to set the cars on fire
at many points, to start them on their
destructive errand, to interfere with the
fremen, to cut the hose in dozen
places. There was certainly well ma
tured plan with capable leadership.
The switchmen cannot escape public
censure for what has happened. Their
contention with the companies is a
business matter, and business matters
are not settled in this way. The first
step must be to restore order and If the
guilty can be caught they must be reck-
onsd with. Without order there is no
society.
