Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat
A Bushel for Every Inhabitant
of the United states. The
Kansas Crop of %.

Never in the history OF Kansas
has that state had such bouniilul
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 60 into the state.
The wheat crop Of the state will be
from sixty to sixty-hve 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 p, and these
excursions will give a chance for
eastern farmers to see what the
great sunfower state can do.
A good map Of Kansas will be
mailed free upon application to
Jno, J, Byrne. 723 Monadnock
Block, Chicago, H., together with
reliable statistics and information
about Kansas lands.

treaty Of New Echola, concluded
on the Goth day Of December, 1885,
which reads as follows; "Those
individuals and families Of the
Cherokee nation that are averse
to a removal to the Cherokee
country west Of the Mississippi
and are desirous to become citizens
of the state where they reside and
such as are qualified to take care
of themselves and their property
shall be entitled to receive their
due portion Of all the personal ben
etits accruing under this treaty for
their claims, Improvement and per
capita as soon as an appropriation
is made Tor this treaty"
4 large number OF our Cherokee
citizens took advantage of this
provision of the treaty of 1885 and
drew out their per capita share Of
lands and money and became cit
izens of the United States They
severed their connection with the
Cherokee nation completely and
became citizens of the states where
they resided, and the Cherokee
nation gave them under this pro.
vision of the treaty their full share
of all their common property in
lands and money, and came here
After it did this the Cherokee ma
ton was under no more obligation
to them than it was to any other
citizen Of the United States. BIT
SO soon as the advancing tide Of
emigration made the Cherokee
lands west valuable, these Chero.
KEGS who had drawn out their per
capita share of lands and money,
sold out their homes in the east
and came west to the Cherokee
nation and demanded that they
should be re.admitted To citizen
ship on the ground that they were
Cherokees by blood. And this
council and all of its predecessors,
in violation OF the constitution and
laws Of the Cherokee nation which
make it hanging oilense to sell
or give land TO citizen of the
United States, have re-admitted
them 10 all the rights, privileges
andimmunities Of second share in
our lands and moneys for no other
consideration than proof OF the
fact that they We're Cherokees by
blood. Now therefore, | Ned /
Buntlin, by virtue Of the authority
vested IN mc as one OF the SOW

illegal, unconstitutional acts, that
have already robbed our people 4
of one.half of our public domain, |

NED BuNTLIN.

ANY law enacted for the regu-
lation of settlement of the public
domain that allows one citizen to
occupy more than another is class
Legislation and unjust. The land
Of the Cherokee nation is common
property and the infant is entitled
to as much as the adult. In any
event no citizin should be allowed
to possess more than his or her
proper share. This is the land
question in q nut she'll. But when
a basis OF this kind is reached the
great hue and cry will be, allot-
mentl Holding land in common
is only agreeable when we are able
to hold part Of somebody else's
land.

TAHLEQUAH LnTTERS.
Nothing is What Council is Chief
ly Engaged In Doing

Council has been in session two
weeks and this being the last ses.
sionaf this set Of councillors, with
all Of those good promises when
elected, the people have expected
that some good legislation would
be forthcoming, but alas-nothing.
So far not one act has become a
law that is for the interest Of the
people. A law creating four dol.
lar day additional expense for
two men, Scales and VIM. Hast
ings. who already shared in the
treasury as attorney general and
executive secretary passed easily.
1t seems the chief, who by the way,
is only a stall-fed OK Of accident
himself, thinks these two men are
the only ones in the nine districts
that just know everything Well,
they are industrious; no one doubts
that when sell.interest (s) is at
stake. The other commissioners
to meet the senators are VIM. Benge
and Swimmer.
The act to cut down the num-
Der OF secretaries in the CHIEFS
office to three and reducing their
pay and also the interpreters sal
airy, passed the house with only
two votes against it; in the senate
thirteen for and five against it
so | am informed. The chief We
toed it and in the house it passed
again, this time by a unanimous
vote The senate, after scuffiing
for while with it, sustained the
veto 10 to Z, and what would
have added honor to the nation
and relief to the people is still
blot on her fair eseuicheon The
gentlemen Of the senate who stood
by the OK of accident" and by
their seven votes out balanced she
forty councillors and ten senators,
certainly have glory enough for a
life time
A good deal is being said about
allotment, some calling it by the
milder name-restriction. Your
correspondent is Of the opinion
that council will adjourn without
helping the public domain ia any |
way, and like the secretaries, the
mo hopolisls will still till and Craze
the land. Now there are some
men representing the interest Of
the people, but the other gang is
a little more progressive IN their
work.
An adjourned meeting Of the
the citizens Of Tahlequah was held
Monday night to nominate a mayor
and five councillors. Tahlequah
is SO rotten now it is impossible to
tell it. The howls and shrieks Of
drunken men and women on the
streets and in the town Jail are
heart. .sickening-and still Table
quah has majority of good
people.
| heartily agree with Evangelist
Wolfe that it is time to clean the
and will add-change
the horses too. We are tired of
The promise of fritter trees and
honey ponds; give us good, honest
shortened corn bread.

CITIZEN

EXTRACTS FROM ANOTHER LETTER
The intruder question is one OF
the all-absorbing topics in council
circles, and as a very well inform
ed man remarked the other day,
there is more uniformity of opin-
ion among members on this than
any other one subject with which
the present council may be called
upon to deal" " The chiefs posi-
ton in reference to the removal
Of intruders by Cherokee authori-
ties in case the United States
refuses to act in the matter is gene
rally upheld, without regard to
party, and if they are not removed
as provided for in the Strip agree
ment, 1t is perfectly safe to say
the Cherokee authorities will sure
ly and certainly remove them
peacably if possible. ifnot by force
of arms. At least this is the senti.
ment expressed by members and
others who stand high in the coun-
ellis Of the nation. But it is to be
earnestly hoped that no such
emergency will arise and that the
terms Of the argument will be stri-
city adhered to by the government.
However, the senate committee
composed Of Senators Butler, hig-
gins and Perkins, are expected to
arrive here to day or tomorrow.
and it is generally understood the
burden Of their business will be to
investigate the intruder question,
il is probable a definite under
standing will be reached.

Tar Greek council. at It's recent
session. passed what seems like a
very injudicious law regarding
labor. The permit law was re-
pealed and all non citizens declar-
ed intruders and to have no law
ful right here, the idea being to
allow them to remain in the coun-
try. but that if desirable to remove
them it could be much more easily
done under these circumstance.

SENATOR VESTS VIEWS.

ln a recent interview touching
affairs in this territory Senator
Vest has the following to say: ~
have just passed through the In-
dian Territory" he said, "and its
condition is a blot upon our civil
zation. The Indians must be
treated fairly and justly, but their
country must cease to be depot
for criminals, and menace to our
prosperity and safety. The ex-
isting system Of administering law
in the Indian Territory is a farce.
The courts at Fort Smith and
Paris. to which the Indians are
dragged for trial, cost more than
the court for the Southern District
of New York, and the principal
business of the officers, especially
the United States Marshals, is to
increase the costs. The Deputy
Marsha's are generally despera-
does, and | am informed that the
Dalton boys, who were lately kill
ed at Cofieyville, were at one time
Deputy Marshals of the United
States. The whole system is a
stencil, and should be wiped out.
The outside courts must be abol-
ished and salaries paid to the mar
shals and their deputies insted of
fees"

homes and cheering the faithful
hearts that may be near the last
turn in the tide Of life. All, what

glad to day. urn backward, O,
time in your fight" springs to
the lips to-day, but time makes
no retrograde movements We
may, however, turn backward the
leaves of the record Of remin-
iscence, page by page, till almost
the dawn of life be reached, and
to- day is tho time and the old
homestead the place Happy is
he who has his own, his new
home, and the old home to visit
to-day. But what OF those who
have no homes-of those whose
hearthstones know them no more
and may be wanderers? God help
them all to-day. Before this day
closes let each one do something
to brighten The lives and hearts Of
others. 1t is a curious law of the
soul that we have only what we
give. If we hate we shall be
hated. II we love we shall be
loved. If we seek to make thanks
giving for others we shall enjoy
thanksgiving ourselves.
HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING
This festival dates back about
two hundred and sixty years, when
1t was first observed in the colony
of Massachusetts Bay and was sug-
gested by the Hebrew feast Of tab
ernacles, or "least of ingathering
at end of the year. Not many
years later occasional thanksgiving
days used to be designated by the
Dutch governors of New Meth.
erlands (1644) and later by the
English governors Of New York
Q755). During the revolution
thanksgiving was made a national
institution, annually recommended
by congress, but alter the general
thanksgiving for peace in 1854
there was no national appoint
ment Tor several years. During
the civil war President Lincoln
issued national probation in 1868
and 1864 and since that time it
has been an annual custom and it
is probable will ever remain so.

THE senate committee, ifreports
be true, are now at Tahlequah to
investigate the intruder ques-
ton and any other matters of
importance to the Cherokees
that may come up. 1t now
remains to be seen whether they
will be met by close communion
committee, or whether the rank
and file OF our citizens will have a
chance To talk to them.

How Mortgages are Profitable.

Usually they lmortgages) relate
to objects of speculation, and such
ventures often turn out to be sig
nally profitable. Globe Democrat.
Yes, but much oftener to the man
that takes than to the man that
gives the mortgage By the way,
M. Globe Democrat, did you ever
buy home at a reasonable price at
the time of purchase, pay half that
price, all your savings Of a lite time
in cash, and give mortgage for the
remainder, and then have congress
enact laws contracting the currency
demonetising silver, and making
gold the ouly standard, until the
value of the product of your labor
were reduced one .haif, and the home
you had bought had lost so much of
it's value that you could not sell it
for enough to pay off the mortgages
Never did, Then we would advise
you t say as little as possible about
mortgages, for you know nothing at
all about them But this is precise
ly the mortgage operations the farm
ers have had to contend with. Very
profitable, indeed, to the mortgage
holders, but to the mortgage giver-
we'll, we can't say how it is to them
without swearing, and we don't
swear. And you and others like you
are the very chaps they are indebted,
to for it. -Progressive Farmer.
