WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.

The fact cannot be denied that
the land question is the greatest
one confronting the Cherokee peo-
pie at this time. We are supposed
to hold our lands in common, and
that would imply equal benefits to
all concerned, and whenever any
part Of our people occupy or use
more or less, as the case may be,
the land is not held in common.
The original intention was all
right with regard to common prop
erty while land was plentiful and
we were not interrupted by intru-
ders, but now conditions have
changed and justice demands that
there be some restriction. A few
people are in possession of all the
most valuable lands and locations,
and there must necessarily be
new deal some time. There is not
a shadow Of right or justice to
those Who are without homes to
allow the country TO remain as il
is. lfthe land is 10 "remain COM
mon property" --the common
property Of all the citirens-some
will have 10 disgorge, and that is
exactly where the trouble comes
In. Every man wants to keep all
be has Of the public domain and

a division that would deprive him

TIE chiefs message, printed in
this issue, like many of its prede-
cessors, is a well written, timely
and sensible document. The
"annual message" of a chief of the
nation is only evolved after much
thought and as in the present case
is generally of some literary merit.
The first and most important topic
touched upon by Chief Harris is
with reference to our relations to
the general government and the
propositions of the Dawes CON-
mission. That our interests may
be thoroughly guarded the chief
recommends that council lose no
time in providing a delegation to

THERE must be at least half a
dozen gangs as desperate as the
Cooks operating in this territory.
The number of murders and hold
ups reported every week is simply
alarming, yet there are people
still contending that such reports
are very much overdrawn. In the
minds of some people it is a crime
TO report train robbery or a MUIR
der. The kind OF national pride
and patriotism that refuses to ex-
pose crime in this or any other
country is very dangerous indeed.

The chief, by special message,
asked council to take some action
in regard to the new boom city OF
David. near Chelsea. Hereis the
message:
Whereas, Information has been
received by me that one A. J.
Blackwell, a citizen of this nation
has assumed to run off a certain
part of his improvement, upon the
public domain of the Cherokee ma
ton. into lots and is selling the
same to citizens of the United
States; and whereas, such action is
in violation OF the laws Of this ma
ton and a fraud upon those who
buy, and will lead to further and
more serious complications of our
relations with the government Of
the United States and their citi-
zens, and to dissension and strife
among our people, and whereas,
other citizens are said to contem-
plate like action, now therefore,
&c ]. Harris, principal chief
of the Cherokee nation, do hereby
warn all citizens of this nation to
cease such unlawful purpose, and
do hereby notify all citizens of the
United States that the pretended
sale of such lots is in violation OF
the laws of this nation and to be
null and void, and the persons
making such sales are frauds, i'm.
posters and criminals, and all will
be prosecuted in the courts of this
nation.

The answer is a bill that has
passed both houses, amending the
old law, and making it treason for
a Cherokee citizen to sell any land
of this nation TO a non-citizen.
Upon conviction of violating this
proposed law, the penalty is death
by hanging. The bill was return.
ed to the senate by the chief with.
out his approval. He thought
well of the bill but suggested that
il be amended as to the punish
ment, making il terms in prison
instead of hanging until dead

the, to them, great floating struc-

down for temples which were to
convey to them Lono. the messiah
