AFTER THE CONVENTION.

A delay in the mails "laid out"
part of the report sent from the
Fort Worth cattle convention last
week and some of the items are
therefore given now. In addition
to the representatives from the In
dian Territory, list of whom was
given, there were great many
gentlemen present who are more
or less acquainted with our peo-
pie. Among the number may be
named Col. W. l.. Tamblyn and
his son George, of Sealing & Tam
blyn, live stock commission mer-
chants; j. T. Dickson, of the Wa
bash; J. G.. Taylor, of the Frisco;
Col. "Hi" keenan,, Of the Burling-
ton; 'Lish Overstreet, president of
the East st. Louis live stock ex
change; Tom Allen, Of the Kansas
City stock yards, ]. w. Barbee,
now of the Cotton Belt, with head :
quarters at Ft. Worth, Jim Daugh-
erty, "Doc" Taylor, A. w. Hud-
son, Winfield Scott, Ed. Carver,
Claib Merchant and L. A. Allen,
all of whom are interested in the
cattle industry. The committee
from the Cattlemen's Protective
association of this country pre-
sented the proposition to jointly
maintain an inspector at Union

probable the same will be accept

All who have studied the situation
are firmly convinced that We have
better association for our purpose
than the Northwestern and that it
would not be wise to abandon il
for the latter.
The virtues of Ft. Worth's four-
teen or seventeen artesian wells
were apparently all lost on the
COW convention last week and the

GIVES IT UP.

Like every other inevitable
event that waits on human life
may the question of allotment of
lands be considered. Abhorred
and regretted as it may be, and to
be put off as long as possible, it is
matter that should command
serious attention, and be consider
ed as much in the light of duty
and preparation as any other
question that concerns our happi-
ness and prosperity. Not because
we so vehemently oppose and
dread allotment should we en-
deavor to dismiss the subject from
our minds and ignore the probabili-
ty of such thing, but because it
now seems so imminent we should
pay it greater and more serious
attention and, if there is any possi-
BILE way for us to escape such an
event, let us discover wherein it
is. If there is no such way, we
should be honest enough with our
selves to acknowledge the fact
and make the best Of what seems
to be unavoidable.
II may be fairly asserted that the
growing necessity for allotment OF
lands, and its cause, is mainly
with ourselves, try as we may "a
place the blame elsewhere Oui
great opposition to allotment has
been carried to such an extreme.
and common rights so little under

the danger and necessity for sucl

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is ex-
pected shortly to name the COM
mission to visit this country and
treat with the five tribes for the
allotment of land, statehood and
the extinguishment of the tribal
relations. All this is in accord with
the recent Strip agreement which
passed congress and which now
only awaits the ratification of our
council to make it law. The mis-
sion of this commission is the most
important and far.reaching of all
the commissions that have ever
visited this country. Taken in
connection with the known temper
of the United States with reference
to this territory it simply means
that we are to have a chance to
name the terms of the change that
is coming, and to be party to the
trade, and to protect our interests
or not, as we choose. If the five
tribes enter into the matter in the
proper spirit we have nothing to
loose but everything to gain. On
the other hand, if our people re-
fuse to act in the premises, we are
left at the mercy Of congress.

Convening Council to Consider
the Cherokee Strip Bill.

CHEROKEE NATION,
Tahlequah, l. t., March Is, 1893. J
To THE MEMBERS OF THE NATION
AL COUNCIL:
GENTLEMEN: By the authority
vested in the principal chief of the
Cherokee nation by the Constitu-
ton and laws thereof, when he
deems the public interest demands
it, he may convene an extra or
special session of the national
council, and in the opinion of the
principal chief, an extraordinary
occasion exists for the convening
of the national council in special
session; Therefore, 1, G. j. Harris,
principal chief of the Cherokee
nation, do hereby issue this my
proclamation convening the mem
bers of the national council in spec
ial' session in their respective legis-
lative houses at Tahlequah, Cher
okee nation, at 8 o'clock, a. M,
on the 2Sth day of March, A. D.,
1898, to legislate on such matters
as may be submitted to them by
the principal chief.
Prompt attendance is respect
fully requested.
Very respectfully,

Principal Chief,

AS the time approaches when
the Strip agreements to be ratified
by the national council the ques-
tion naturally arises, VINO are to
be the seventy persons that under
the fifth article are to hold land in
that country for according to the
agreement as it passed congress
they must take their allotments at
once. "The number of persons
allowed such allotments shall not
exceed seventy, who shall have,
prior to November, 1891, made
Udluable and permanent improv
ments for farming purposes, and
such allotments shall be made and
confirmed under such rules and
regulations as shall be prescribed
by the Secretary of the Interior" "
Now it is certainly fact that the
number who will claim the privi-
lige will not be less than seventy
but vastly more than that number,
and Just how the matter is to be
determined does not yet appear.

The scramble for federal office
that rs now going on and the in
dorsements that are being SO freely
given demonstrates the fact that
aea rule signers of petitions know
or care very little about the char
acter of the party they indorse.
There Is probably not an individ-
ual in this city SO disreputable and
devoid Of integrity as to be unable
70 get names in abundance signed
TO a petition asking for Office.
The abuse Of this privilege is the
cause Of local preference losing
much OF its influence. Those
who are clothed with the appoint
ing power should never lose sigh
Of the fact that any individual, nc
matter how unscrupulous or in
competent, can easily obtair
lengthy and nunierously signeS
petitions asking for Offices Of trus
and responsibility.

THE influence of the "calamity
howlers" is probably felt as little
in this part of the country as any
where in the United States. The
average farmer prefers to pay his
store bills with wheat or corn
rather than attempt to do SO with
counterfeit money.

HAD the Outlet been allotted
equally amongst all the citizens Of
the Cherokee nation, it would have
been about 260 acres each. II
the money is divided which we
are to get for the same it will
amount to a little over $500 each.
1t is not hard to see which would
have been best for the people.
