In A recent issue the Tahleqnah
Telephone, alluding to the ques-
tion as to the number of Cherokees
in this nation who do not speak
English, makes use of this very
remarkable statement: "There are
at the very lowest estimate 10000
fullbloods, 5000 of whom have
not the slightest knowledge of the
English language. Let's see;
there are 25,000 citizens, all told in
the Cherokee nation, and according
to the Telephone one-fith Of these
have no knowledge whatever OF the
English language. This country
has often been misrepresented but
never more grossly than in this
instance. What are the fruits of
our educational system? What is
the matter with the two seminaries
and over one hundred public
schools that have been sending out
bright young Indians Of both sexes,
many OF whom are now teaching
the English" to younger gener-
alton? The Telephone would have
the outside world believe that we
were nation Of savages, judging
from the above statement.

anything of the sort which The

One Of the attractive features of
the Australian exhibit at the Fair

ferns vary in height from eight to
fourteen feet. At the close Of the

EDITOR CHIEFTATN Say, are
you aware of the notorious fact
that 90 per cent. of the illegal
business carried on in the Chero-
kee nation is done through or dad
died. by our adopted citizens by
marriage, who take a solemn oath
to abide by and support the laws
Of the Cherokee nation2 Is ii pos
sible that our Cherokee women
corrupt men, or is it that class who
seek refuge among the Cherokees2
Had we not better pattern after
our Greek brOthers-have licensed
traders and obtain a revenue for
the nation? This would give us a
better class of white men to do
busin ess with, and save this class
Of our citizens from perjuring
themselves. CESAR.

ANTI-SILvER REPORT.

Mr. Stone Prepares the Objections Of His
Side OF the House-Reasons for Opposi-
tion of the Minor .ty to the Coinage Com
mittee's Work.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE views of
the minority Of the Coinage Committee in
opposition to the Senate free coinage bill
have been embodied in a report prepared BY
Representative Charles W. Stone, of Penn
sylvania. The report saws the bill sis a
conglomeration of crudities and absurdities,
clumsy in structure, in part uncertain of
Interpretation, and as whole dangerous
and pernicious in operation and effect"
1t then proceeds to point out the defects
in the bill and refers to the serious results
which the minority insist would follow the
enactment of the bill into law. The repeal
of the law of July IA, 1890, saws the report,
and the consequent stopping of Government
purchases of silver, will throw upon the
general market the entire output of our
mines now absorbed by the Government, and
a material depression in the market value
of silver bullion must naturally follow"
Not the least disastrous result of the
passage of the pending bill would be the
obliteration of all hope of any practical re-
suits from the international monetary con-
IeIehce soou 10 oe 1eiu- Inc time is ripe

The worlds supply of gold to meet the
necessities of increased population and
business. The growing necessities of addi-
tions to their currency to satisfy the de-
mands of extending and increasing trade is
perceptibly felt If we can retain our
present proportionate share of the gold of
the world, this necessity for more currency
among the nations Of Europe will induce a
very serious consideration of the feasibility
and wisdom of rehabilitation of silver as
q money metal among such nations.
