many tears have been shed-why,
he simply saint in it," His mixed
blood brothers have taken the
burden of government to a great
extent of his sholders; they have
very generously relieved him of
the trouble and anxiety OF spend
ing large sums of money that have
from time to time been paid over
to them as his guardians aud BEN
efactors. And now they have
gone in nobly to occupy his land
for him, which latter job is nearly
complete, and if they can per-
suade him to hold it in common
little longer the land question
will be forever settled.
When Uncle Sans commission
ers come down here to pry into
the affairs of this Cherokee nation
they must be met at the very
threshold of Indian autonomy and
shown its beauties and its benefits.
All the old and solemn treaty stip-
ulations must be scraped up and
memorized and rehearsed for the
edification of the commission
The thrifty and prosperous full.
blood must be extolled to the
skies, but on no account be seen.
His well filled larder and bursting
granery will be mentioned but not
shown. The real Indian is a great
success but must be viewed from
altar. His fortune is made and
his future is safe but he must moi
be touched for he has mot yet as
cended to his father" If th'
commission is wise it will go anC
view Mr.. Indian on his nativ,
heath. 1t will find out for itsel
tina; he is as poor as he can eve
get in this world, and that h'
needs and deserves better treat
ment at the hands of the United
States. As a ward aad mino
heir his interests have been sadly
neglected, aad that now in his ex
treemity he should have the pro
lection and assistance guaranteed
to the humblest citizen. II
should simply have his own, an,
be protected in the peaceful own
ership of it.

THR COMMISSION ooMrNa

The commission appointed by
the president sometime ago to
treat with the five tribes, headed
by ex-senator Dawes, has been
notified to meet at the interior
department next Monday to re-

lions are already prepared and
first direct the commission to treat

proposition will be that each In.

to the United States. Should this
proposition be rejected. then ths
plan will be presented allowing
the Indians to divide all their land
among themselves and, doing

become part Of Oklahoma. This

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL.
The Work Out of Proportion to

TAHLEQuAH, Nov. 20, 1893

TAHLEQuAH, Nov. ~, 1873.
Our letter this week must nee.
essarily be short as nothing un-
usual, or startling, or sensational
has occurred. However, both
houses seem TO be busy enough.
Bills of more or less importance
are being introduced daily, but up
to the present the greater number
have failed of passage in one or
both houses.
Ed Sanders hay bill suffered
defeat, as did Judge Benge's judi.
ciary bill and Mr.. Gunter's bill to
prevent the promiscuous carrying
of fire arms at elections, courts,
etc.
The bond delegation reported
last week to the principal chief,
and the Chief transmitted same to
council accompanied by a short
special message.
Thursday of last week Senator
G.. w. Benge introduced a bill
changing the time of holding
courts in northern and middle dis
tricts. The bill does not, how
ever, change the time in Delaware
and Cooweescoowee. 1t is con-
sidered a good measure and will
pass in some form. The new
stewards for the male and the
female seminaries. were elected
some days ago. NJ. r. Brown of
Tahlequah gets the position at the
male seminary and Walter Fields,
of Canadian, the female seminary.
A bill passed the senate Incorpo-
rating the town of Nowata. Sena-
tor G.. W. Benge has a bill before
the senate now, for realizing the
cash for the bonds. 1t provides
for a new delegation to negotiate a
loan from congress, and the
prompt payment Of the money to
the people, per capita.
Jim Woodali has been heard
from again. This time his heart
has soitened somewhat toward
white people. He now proposes
to take them in on probation for
the term of two years; if at the end
Of two years they are found to be
all right, the principal chief may
admit them on the payment of
$500 into the national treasury.
How, or upon what basis Mr.
Woodall makes his estimate Of a
Cherokee wife or husband is not
set forth in the bill. Council
jumped on this measure and de-
fected it in great shape, the vote
standing three to one against it.
Last week when the delegation
bill was up it was modestly hinted
that Mr. Stapler and Hoolie Bell
would make good bond delega-
tion. From the way the senators
smiled it must have been a joke
However, Mr.. Slapler is a good
financier aud would be a very
serviceable delegate. As to Bell f.,
the National party don't owe him
any fayors and have a number OF
able men in their own ranks.
Senator Wolfe, II. b. Ross or one
of the Benges will go to Washing
ton, judging from present indica-
tIons.
Much confidence is expressed in
the ability Of the senate as well al
the house. but more especially tht
former, to cope with the questions
of the day, and it is believed that
whatever is done will be done
right and merit the approval o
the country at large. One mus
be present TO appreciate the
difficulties in the way of legisla
tion; il is easier TO talk than to do

A GENERAL murmur is heard all
along the line against Senator
Sanders proposed hay law. The
question now is, Shall .one of the
legitimate industries of the coun-
try be crushed out OF existence for
the benefit of a few large cattle
owners? The hay business, prop
erly managed, would afford con-
siderable revenue to the nation,
besides furnishing employment to

would be compelled to remain idle
