Great Indignation in Oklahoma. -

GUTHRIE, o. T., July 22.-The news. from
Washington to the effect that Senator Teller
had introduced bill in the senate providing
for ten more allotments on the Cherokee
strip, on the ground that there were eighty
Cherokees residing on the land instead of
seventy, causes the greatest Indignation here.
1t is notorious fact that about half of the
Cherokees who have received allotments
never resided for a single day on the strip.
and fully one-third of them never made a
dollars worth of improvement. The only
Cherokees who have ever lived on the strip
in good faith are ex-Chief Jordan and his
colony of perhaps twenty-five or thirty who
have resided on improved farms in the tri-
angle of the strip east of the Pawnee reserva-
ton for years.
The thirteen allotments on the Shekaska
river and the twelve around Kildare are all
fraudulent, as none of these Indians ever
lived there day.
Bushyhead's residence consisted of the
time spent at the stone quarry, and Jake
Guthrie's Improvements are an old ranch
house, where the cattlemen made their head
quarters while pasturing thousands of head
of cattle in his name and thus swindling the.
government as we'll as his own people.
A committee of five Cherokees appointed
to investigate these allotments over two
weeks ago reported that there were only
fifty-six who had any claim whatever for an
allotment and many of these were question
able. The report was made to Allotting
Agent Duncan, yet in spite of it he went
ahead and made seventy allotments, and
now the combine wants ten more and pro-
poses to delay the opening of the strip to Sc
cure them through congressional action.

WAwnorox, d. c.. August 22.-In ths
house Mr.. McCreary, of Kentucky, meme
Der of the recent monetary conferences, and
Mr.. Catchings, of the COMMITTEES on rules,
both took the floor in support OF the uncon-
livingstone, of Georgia, made character
istic speech in support of free coinage and
against unconditional repeal. With the Sner-
man act out of the way international fre9
coinage would become possible and would
probably follow. He expressed regret that
the question of ratio between gold and silver
had been injected into the discussion. he
had no sympathy with those who desired to
change the ratio from is to 1 to 70 to /. 10
change the ratio would be to strike down
and destroy every prospect OF an interna-
tional agreement, to discredit every dollar OK
silver in the United States.
Mr.. Livingstone, Of Georgia, denied that
the purchasing clause was responsible for the
financial trouble. A few years ago the farm
ers had come to congress asking for relief,
and they were greeted as calamity howiers-
He had then predicted to the present gov
ernor of New York that within two years the
Calamity howlers" would come from an
other quarter. Who were now bowling for
relief? The farmers had ceased to be the
howlers. They had been squeezed until
there was nothing more to be squeezed from
them. The howl now came from the banks.
Mr.. Curtis, of Kansas: Should not con-
gress provide for free coinage at a ratio that
would eliminate the fat dollar? He favored
20 to and would then establish commis-l
sion with authority to change the ratio If it.
was found too large or too small. Then let
the secretary of the treasury be authorized to
coin the bullion in the treasury. The objec-
ton to the pending measure was that it made
no provision for the coinage of bullion. The
house should pass an act that would not de-
stroy the industries, but that would cause the
farmers and laborers to rejoice.
Mr.. Broderick, of Kansas: It was said the
adoption of double standard by the coun-
try would not be favored by the European
countries. Many things had been done in
the United States not In harmony with the
views of the nations of the old world. The
masses of the people ought to have voice in
fixing the financial policy and the United
States should not be coerced in this question
by any other nation.
Mr.. Clark, democrat, of Missouri: To
demonetize silver was to coniscate one-half
of the property of the United States. He
extolled the utterance of both Hamilton and
jefferson. He had heard the republicans
decrying the utterances of Hamilton. Were
it not for the opinions of Hamilton the re-
publican party would not be worth bauble.
He had heard the democrats sighting the
utterances of jefferson. Were 1t not for
jefferson the democratic party would be
ready for the political sweeping ground.

the following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, It is the custom Of persons do
ing q banking business under a charter
granted by the state to take more than the
legal rate, 10 per cent, Of interest.
WHEREAS, The same is in direct violation
Of the law, and works to the disadvantage
of the debtor GLASS; and
WHEREAS, The action of Commissioner
Breidenthal requiring other security than
certificate of stock from stockholders who
are borrowers from their own bank is a
move in the right direction, and is just
ground for our commendation and approval.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That we fully appreciate his
efforts in behalf Of the debtor class, and
would incidentally call his attention TO the
charge made in our first "Whereas" as a
matter that demands his investigation and
action.
Resolved, That these resolutions be sent

ceived, robbed and enslsved.
Why sleep we longer Our enemies
are wideawske, working every day,
Their agents are all around among the
unsuspecting, sowing the seeds Of pow
erty and subiugation. Our homes, our
property and liberties are being rapidly
taken away from US. The heritage our
forefathers bequeathed US, the rightful
hope of cur children, are ready to per
ish.
We have no time to lose. Our con-
gressmen should be posted by the people
with regard to the course they should
pursue in the special session now called.
We should place the subject before them
in its true light. If they are going to
legislste for the people Of the United
States, let them know now that no con-
cessions to, or compromises with, for
elgners will be tolerated for one moment.
1t must be free SILVER, free gold, full
legal tender paper money, direct to the
people without banks Of issue. This
money must be equal to the volume Of
business the nation has to do. Every
county and state in the union should
call meetings at once and pour their de-
msnds in upon their congressman, until
they have no time to listen to the enc
mics of this nation. Let US defy the
crowned head policy of Europe and hurl
from power their servile traitorous tools
Of America. Let no party bit hold you.
It is victory or death now. These traitors
belong to no party. They only use
parties to further our subjugation.
Where are our watchmen, our central
committeeman, our ststesmenS Let them
call the people together at once and
learn their will. Have them speak out.
This is our fight. The merchant, the
farmer, the lawyer, the laborer, all are
in for it. Will You speak and fight like
men or submit like slaves As secre-
tary of the Guiding Star l make this sp-
peal to the people. Our third purpose
demands that the will Of the people
should be ascertsined and enacted into
law, and now is the time for the people
to know and declare their will, and have
it made law. Call the people together.
Call them quickly. Yours in earnest,

sleep and dream is past. The time for
action is come. II the news Of an En-
gllsh feet having sailed for our shores,
with intent of making war upon our
institutions and flag was heard in our
land, every patriot would call ITO armsp
and rush pell NELL to the conflict. If
this news was intensified by the tidings
that such feet had actually landed and
captured the capitol of our nation, our
whole country would boil like a great
pot with rage. We would drop every
thing else and rush to the rescNe. Yet
this is the exact condition to-day. The
capitalistic Jews of England, supported
by the crowned heads of Europe, and
conspiring with the trsitorous officials
and capitalists Of America, have been
making war upon our institutions and
flag ever since they failed to subjugate
our forefathers.
During our rebellion, and since, their
hand has been visible to the keen vision
Of American patriots and statesmen, not
withstanding the great effort to hide it
by press and allies. They have made
war upon our property, our money, our
institutions of government and upon our
national existence.
Let no man deceive himself. They
are not forging their chains for a few
lovers Of liberty whom they call an
Rrchists. They are meant for the whole
people Of America, without regard to
party, color and nationality. They have
controlled our presidents and congress
for some years, but this time they have
complete conGrol of our chief executive
and his cabinet, and are working with
might and main to capture a majority
of the congress Of the people. They have
the supreme judges solid. At the call Of
English gold conspirators, the president
has called congress to meet in extra ses-
sion to put manacles upon the people of
the United States, that crowned tyrants
may laugh at our calamity. For months |
the president and secretary have been
forcing the country upon the verge of
financial ruin, and by q hypocriticRl
flank movement use these straitened
conditions Of business to keep the people
quiet, whilst they force our representa-
tives to finish riveting cur chains Of
slavery. This is the first time in the his
tory of America when congress has been
called together at the bidding Of our
foreign foes. There is no longer any
use to deceive ourselves. This means
death to our freedom and prosperity.
We have petitioned and demonstrated
against their encroschments, but in
vain. They have robbed us of nearly
$2OOOOOO,OO0 of legal tender paper
money. They have sent tens of thou
sands of our industries into bankruptcy.
They have deluded US out Of one-half Of
our metallic money. They have ruined
the prices of our property by cutting
them below remunerstive figures. By
these means they have immersed us in
debt, from which we can never hope to
rise. Our people are becoming home
less, and our lRborers are becoming dis
coursged and sullen. Still they want to
finish the work of subjugstion and
slavery by compelling US to pay our
debts in gold, whilst if we had the gold

move it over a fairly good road. As for
drawing load up hill, everyone who
has had experience teaming on an I'M
even farm knows that the power re-
quired is very much greater than is
needed on a level road. It not lnfre-
quently occurs that small loads must be
drawn from the most distant parts of
the farm because there are one or two
bad spots between that point and the
barn. A little work on these spots
would open a pretty good road for the
whole distance. If fairly we'll done it
would last for years. but it would pay
to do this work if it had to be repeated
every summer. 1t would save many
trips every season, would prevent very
much annoyance both to the team and
to the driver and would enable the
farmer to push his work much more
rapidly than he otherwise can do.
In some cases the hard pull comes at
some point where ruts have been
formed. Here, there is not merely a
great increase in the labor of the
teams, but there also is a severe and
an altogether unnecessary strain upon

To make frst-class highways. over
which thousands of teams are to pass
every year, requires good deal of Sci

though valuable, is not indispensable
in making farm roads In order to

be a little higher in the middle than it
is at the sides. Rnts should be pre-
vented by forming rs solid q road-bed

as the least depression in the wheel

trench should be made at each side for
