SENTIMENT CHANGING.

A few years ago the proposition
of allotment of the lands Of
this country would have been
received with derision on all
sides and by many would have
been considered quite out of the
question. But how is it now2 No
other subject receives so much at
tention; no other proposition has
so many earnest adherents among
the more intelligent of the Cher.
okee citizens. The recent debates
in both houses of congress have
done much to strengthen the posi-.
tion of those who have been con-
tending that a division of lands
was inevitable and the only safe
way of protecting the interests Of
the full .bloods. There are prob
ably as many in favor OF statehood
now, as there were in favor of al
lotment one year ago. The landed
possessions of the average Cher.
okec seems a great deal less since
the sale of the Strip, and indeed a
decent-sized farm could hardly be
had for each Of the citizens of this
nation now. In view of all the
facts and the conditions surround.
ing us as a people it is surprising
that any should not be in favor of
taking steps to protect our in
dividual interests. The more pro.
gressive element of the country
realize the situation and are will
ing to prepare for the change that
is coming as sure as fate.

people that are entitled to share
this money thatit all be paid at
one time, as il would then amount
TO enough to be used TO advantage
in investments. Those who have
not made farms would be able to
purchase homes for themselves
and children or to go into business,
whereas il it be paid out in yearly
installments the amount received
would be too small to be used in
this way to advantage, but would
be spent for the everyday necessi.
ties of life and when the last draw
was made nothing would be left to
show for the money. Again,
system of yearly payments would
breed generation of pensioners
upon government bounty and in
the end leave them in a worse con-
dition than if they had never had
any aid. If the money can be re-
allied now upon what is due from
the United States government,
without discount, altogether, the
better plan would be to secure it
and pay it out to the people at
opca

form all the offices OF money but
at the same true they would not
be money, but a simple certificate
of debt due from the government
of the United States. On these
certificates we could demand our
bonds and they could not depre-
ciate. They would pay our debts,
stimulate trade and production,
and answer every purpose of do
mestic exchange and produce
prosperity that has never had a
parallel in the history of the Cher
okee nation, and what is better, if
it had no other effect, this act OF
legislation would place it out of
the power of any council or official
of the government to swindle the
people out of a single dollar. 1t
would give to every citizen the
management of his share of the
debt and if we did not wish to use
them as a medium of exchange we
could lock them up in our trunks
as a safe investment that would be
sure to yield us an annual interest
with no risk of loss. Capitalists
will be glad to buy these bonds for
purposes of speculation and be-
cause it is a safe and sure invest
ment, and if they buy it for these
purposes can't we just as well af-
ford to keep the bonds and utilize
all the profits ourselves as to allow
others to do it? | think this would
be the best policy for our council
and people to pursue because it
has all the elements of even. ex-
act justice to every man, woman
and child in the land, and for these
reasons | shall favor a division of
the debt among our people rather
than a sale of the bonds. / have
freely and candidly given my views
as to the best policy for our peo-
pie to pursue, but | should be glad
to hear from others on this sub
ject and particularly our members
of council, and if there is any bet
ter plan of handling our public
deot let us have it.
Yours for the right,
NED BUNTLIN.

A FEELING OF UNREST.

Since the passage Of the Strip
bill in congress, although only a
few days ago, there is already Wis
ible among the people of this
country a restlessness that would
indicate an unsatisfed condition of
affairs in this country. There is
no doubt in the world but that the
most ardent advocates OF Indian
autonomy forsee and realize that
the end OF our present relations to
the general government must soon
cease and that it is only a matter
OF a little time when the citizens
of the five tribes will be citizens
Of the United States, and if this
change is taken advantage OF it
will usher in an era of prosperity
hitherto unknown in this country.
There can be no greater mistake
than to suppose that such a change
will mean disaster TO the In.
dian; il viii mean exactly the OPP
posite, Tor he will enter the union
under more favorable circunl-
stances and with far greater ad.
vantages than il is the lot Of white
men te enter. He will have his
land and his money, and in many
instances be better equipped than
is his white brother for the con.
ilict incident to citizenship in any
country.

NED RUNTL1N,s PLAN
For Paying Out the Proceeds of
the Outlet.

MR.. EDITOR:-lhe' sale OF the
Outlet has at last been effected,
but instead of the money being
paid down as was at first contem-
plated by the agreement we are to
be paid 1895, 900 and the balance
of IS, 300, 900 in five annual Install
ments with interest at the rate of
4 per cent. per annum, which will
produce a yearly interest of 1882,
O00 We are authorized by con-
gress to effect a loan and realize
the money at once on the sale of
bonds set apart for our payment if
desired. This act brings us face
to face with one of the biggest
financial problems which the ma
ton has ever had to deal with, If
we act wisely our prosperity is
insured for years to come, When
the question arises, how shall we
handle the debt to insure that de-
sirable end? Shall we hold on to
the debt and draw the interest an
nually and pay it out among our
people or shall we sell the bonds
and divide the proceeds at once?
These are important questions that
we should thoroughly digest he
fore we attempt to answer them.
To sell an interest-bearing bond
is like killing the goose that layed
the golden egg. To pay out the
principal and interest in five an
nual installments as they become
due involves taking the census five
times, followed by five annual pay.
ments which are always attended
with great expense to the people,
while paying out the debts in
small amounts is no great benefit.
If we resort to a sale of the bonds
to realize the whole amount at
once it might result in a sale for
less than their face value and we
should never think of anything of
that kind. 1t would surely open
up grand opportunities for cor
ruption and corrupt men, and we
should never give any opportun-
tiles in that direction. The debt
is now in the shape of a bond bear
ing 4 per cent. interest and we
should never think OF selling these
bonds TO realize the money with
which to pay our people their
share Of the debt when the same
thing can be accomplished with
out their sale by a simple act Of
our legislature, and with no ex-
pense to the people except taking
the census once to ascertain the
number Of our people. My plan
is this: Let council assemble at
once and approve the amended
agreement; then pass an act appro-
priating the debt due from the
United States to per capita pay
ment among the people and author
ize the treasurer of the nation TO
issue certificates Of each persons 8
share Of the debt in the following
form, bearing the seal and sigma
lures of the chief and treasurer:
"This is TO certify that the bearer
is entitled to receive from the
United States three (s300) hum
dred dollars in United States
bonds bearing 4 per cent. interest
from the date of the ratification of
the amended agreement by council
between the United States and the
Cherokee nation" This would
make the whole debt Immediately
available until the bonds could be
issued They would pay the la
borer for his hire, the farmer for
his products, the mechanic for his
skilled labor, the merchant for his
goods. They would al once pass
INTO the channels Of trade and per-

THERE is one thing in connee.
tion with the sale of the Strip that
will be a source of satisfaction to
the average Cherokee, and that is
the prospect of a settlement with
the intruders and their ulti.
mate removal from the country.
The fight has been a long and bit
ter one but its carly solution will
be satisfactory to the Cherokees.

Woman has succeed in journalism,
law, medicine, theology and politics, SO
it is not surprising to learn that she has
done we'll in railroading. Minnie G.
Rush has attracted attention by her re-
markable success as an organizer of ex-
cursions. She is the Vandalia Lines
agent at Lakeville, Ind. For three
years she has had charge Of the passen-
ger, freight and telegraph Office. The
receipts in October amounted to more
than SO, 900, and that is only slightly
in excess Of the average.
Miss Rush was born in Lakeville
twenty zone years ago. After acquiring
common school education she learned
telegraphy, and her proficiency led to
her selection as agent. She is q worker
in the w. G. T. q. and Methodist
Church societies. Her latest success
was the conception and execution Of
"Harvest Home" excursions, when she
surprised the Vandalla magnates by
sending several hundred people into
neighboring States on special trains, and
thus netted profit for the railroad. New
