THE CHIEFS WARNING.

Chief Harris letter, published
in the Tahlequah papers last week
in reference to the organization Of
the democratic and republican par
ties in this nation, has called out a
great deal Of unfavorable comment.
But after carefully examining the
document we must confess we see
nothing wrong in its sentiment or
attitude toward the people of the
Cherokee nation. And outside of
the dictatorial style and the un-
fortunate wording of the letter, we
believe it contains the germs at
least of good, sound advice to the
Cherokee people. Chief Harris is
doubtless aware Of the fact that
even in tho Cherokee nation, every
man has his United States politics
every man is just as much
democrat or republican as though
he lived in the states. 1t could
not be otherwise for we are as
much interested in the issues that
divide the two great parties in the
states as though we lived there.
We contribute as much toward the
support of the general government
as do the people in the states, and
as to the federal patronage we are
more interested because the APP
pointments come direct and the
people have no voice in who shall
serve them in the capacity of ied-
eral officers.
Had the chiefs communication
been couched in different language
we believe there would have been
no objection raised. We do not
regard the chiefs letter as IMAM
ifesto" or an "edict," but as being
adyisatory and that he |
had not thought of compulsion or
Of exercising the powers of a dicta-
tor over his people, notwithstand- |
ing the language would indicate as
much. We believe that any politi-
cal movement that includes others
than citizens, at this time would be
Inadvisable not to say dangerous.
The Cherokee nation, as well as
the other nations of the five tribes,
have no political standing and are
not recognized as having the right
Of representation in congress, this
las been virtually settled by the
decision of the attorney general in
he Worlds Fair matter. 1t would
lecessitate an enabling act of con.
.ress before delegate from this
could be seated.
the average non.citizen Of this
country is not clam oring for recog-
lition and representation in the
Ialls of congress, from the simple
act that he is not supposed to be {
ere in the first place, and if here,
My on permit from the constituted
of this country. Be- !
ore the non-citizen element in this

OF ready to do, +
Again, the intruders who at I
resent are threatening the very h
xistence of the Cherokee nation, Il
nd are greater menace to the $
ghts of the citizens here than Ii
'erything else combined, would .
ave an equal voice in sending a Ii
9legate to congress, and thus n
lace us in the unenviable attitude Il
voluntarily placing the enemy a a,

hat rights we, as people, have n

an element of wisdom in the g

ould do well to heed.

The Indian citizens Of Canadian
district, Cherokee nation, are, as
a class, intelligent and well to do
people. Not few of the leading
political lights of the entire ma
ton reside in this district, and it
has always produced more than its
share of prominent men and 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, they 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
claimants is constantly on the in
crease their landed estates do not
increase and know full well that
every day marks decrease in the !
per capita share of each citizen.
Alter holding meetings and weigh /
ing we'll 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
mittee the facts just as they are
and show to the committee that
these boo-hoo politicians and lob
byists do not express the senti-
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.

New YoRK's rigid quarantine
regulations seem to have the chol-
era under complete control. No
new cases have been reported,
out the idea that cold weather will
very efectually check the scourge
is an erroneous one, as the great

ragged all winter, being at its worst
in New York city in January.

IT is rumored that Chief Harris

to rejoice at the downfall of our
neighbor-yet we believe it is the
right move in the right direction,
to do away with this expensive en-
terprise. We have the greatest
