TO DRIVE OUT COMPETITION


As has been hinted in our Table.
quah letters several times during
the present session Of council
there will be more or less permit
tinkering before the final adjourn
ment, and it is not too much to
say that in any event, 1t is a blow
at some enterprise or other in this
country, and The avowed aim will
be to cripple some if not all the
leading industries Of the Cherokee
nation.
Take for instance the bill that
has already been introduced In the
lower house which embraces in its
scope the whole mercantile in
dustry of the nation, and might
very appropriately be entitled
"An act to destroy competition
and raise the price of all the neces
saries Of life"
Who would be the real sufferers
in the event Of such legislation
legislation that would prohibit the
employment of non.citizen labor
in the stores, mills, etc., OF this
countryP Most surely the people at
large, because such a law would
raise the price of everything we
have to buy and drive out more
than half the business enterprises
of this country and the silent mills
and empty store houses through
out the nation would bring sure
and speedy condemnation on the
party responsible for such hide
bound and contemplate class leg.
islation. Again, such a law would
be so universally ignored and dis
regarded as TO make it as inoper-
alive as the present "cattle law
which by common consent is a
dead letter and only remains a
monument to the stupidity OF
cussedness of its authors.
Why should council desire TO
cut off so fruitful a source of rev.
enue at time when the nation is
in such great need of finances to
carry over the crisis that now con.
fronts it2 The part of wisdom
would be to foster and build up
every Legitimate enterprise in the
country. The more business com.
petition we have the cheaper will
be the necessaries of life.
This country is too far advanced
now to ever be turned back into
the hunting ground that it was a
few years ago, and those who
would retard its advancement are
fighting against the inevitable.

special service division Of the gen.
eral land Office is urged. 1t IS
shown that the money which it
recommends from cash forfeited
entries, which have been cancelled
through the action of the special
agents and from the prosecution
of timber trespasses, has been in
years past very much larger than
the cost Of the service. The small
amounts Of recent appropriations
have very greatly helped the work
in the bureau in this direction
1t is the desire of the present ad
ministration to vigorously protect
the public interests represented
by the public lands of the United
States, and it is believed that Q
competent force can more thar
return into the treasury the ex
penses incurred by this mode.

There is a strong disposition among
our naval officers TO stretch the right
of political asylum in the case OF
Spanifh. .Amcricans TO the utmost de-
gree. Spanish-American governments,
save those at Mexico, Chilli and the
Argentine Republic, are regarded with
scant respect by United States naval
officers because republican forms in
most Spanish-American countries seem
10 citizens of the United States the
mere mockery of free government.
Every ward room teens with stories
that illustrate the pcculiarities of poll
tics and of the administration of justice
In the smaller republics. Brazil, under
the empire, was considerably respected,
because there was ut least the sem
blance of order, authority and justice.

CONTRACT SCHOOLS.
Upon the subject Of contract
schools he says:
~ agree fully with those who
oppose the use of public money
for the support of sectarian schools.
But this question should be con-
sidered practically. The schools
have grown up. Money has been
invested in their construction, for
the time when they were.recogniz.

accomplishment Of good. / do

at would scarcely be Just to
abolish them entirely, TO abandon

they should be decreased at the
rate Of not less than 20 per cent

bers of the various tribes who feel
that they are deprived Of their Just
quota Of lands to petition the
United States courts for allot-
ments in severalty of the portions
to which they are respectively en-
titled.
By resort to such, these In.
dians who wish their lands in sew.
crafty could obtain them, and thus
gradually, at least, the holding OF
lands in common would pass away
and they would be held by indi.
viduals.
Referring to the sale of liquor to
the Indians, the secretary con-
demns in strong terms the estab-
lishment of saloons upon the line
of Indian reservations and calls
attention to the decision of Judge
Ellinger of the District of Oregon
to the effect that the sale of liquor
to an Indian who has received his
land in severalty, is not in viola
ton of law, because of allotment
he has become a citizen. If this
decision is right, it presents an
other argument against too speedy
allotment of their lands in sever
atty to Indians.
THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
Secretary Smith next takes up
the general land office, the bureau,
only second in importance to the
Indian office. He recommends a
change in the system Of surveying
and the establishment Of a land
court in the interior department.
The present system of survey
ing the public lands is criticised
as a slow and defective mode of
procedure. Reference is made
to the amendment of the sundry
civil bill, proposed at the last
session, asking authority TOR the
geological bureau to survey such
lands as might be recommended
by the commissioners OF the gem
eral land Office as substitute for
the present system. 1t was be-
lieved that the plan would prove
economical and satisfactory, and
that it could be enlarged until it
included the entire work Of public
surveys and dispensed with the
office Of surveyor general.
1t IL urged that if this surveying
could be done by the government
employees, it would save much
time now consumed in making
contracts with deputy surveyors,
in performing their work and
handling contracts in the office of
the surveyor general.
The land TO be surveyed would
be designated by the commissioner
and the work would be promptly
done. Ifby the geological survey.
the certificate ofthe director would
take the place OF the report Of the
surveyor general, and lift was not
deemed advisable to separate the
surveying of the public lands from
the general land office. then com
petent surveyors could be selected
through the civil.seryice commits.
sion and attached to the general
land Office and the work entrusted
10 them. Such a course would
bring more satisfactory results and
save both time and money.

The president in his message to
congress, delivered Monday,
dwells at some length on the con-
dition of the reservation Indian,
and recommends that they be not
forced to take their allotments too
speedily. AS to the five tribes he
does not even risk an opinion.
But the report of the Dawes COM
mission and that of Secretary
Smith will afford congress all the
enlightenment it may desire on
the subject.

FIELD EATRoNs.
The secretary urges a liberal APP
preparation for field matrons. Up
on this subject he says; II wish
to refer especially to another line
Of work for the benefit Of the In
dians that can be accomplished at
but little comparative expense.
The small sum spent for field ma
irons has probably done more good
than the expenditure of any other
amount several times as large. II
was started four years ago with
$1,000 a year. Now 5000 is al
lowed for that purpose. Congress
at its last session, was urged to in
crease the amount to Sl9, 900, but
this was not done.
III have no doub, that ESQ, 900
spent in this way would accom-
plish more than any $50, 900 spent
in any school that we support.
These good women thus employed
go from house to house among the
Indians, helping to instruct and
civilize the Indian women, too old
now to enter school, but still
young enough to learn something
of womanly responsibility. They
help to place some of the comforts
of civilization into the Indian
home. Their work influences all
of the tribe and it prepares places
for the school children when they
return to their parents somewhat
similar to the conditions existing
at the schools"
THE FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES.
An appendix TO the report pub
fishes in full the report ofthe com
nlissoners OF the civilized tribes.
The secretary calls attention to
the duty which rests upon the
United States to preserve law AID
order throughout the Indian
Territory and insists that as the
right TO do 80 cannot be obtained
by agreement with the tribes, it
must be forced as a duty without
regard to the wishes of those who
control the tribes.
He does not specially. recon-
mend the organization of new
territory, but does urge that the
court in Arkansas should be
abandoned and the jurisdiction of
the United States courts be obtain
ed over the territory without re
gard to citizenship. This would
give an opportunity for the mem.

OUR TAHLEQUAH BUDGET.
FORMER PREDICTIONS ARE
MATERIALIzING.
After the Merchants with a GLASS
Measure Plenty of Per Capita
Bills-Bob Ross Stand.

TAHLEQUAn. l. t Dec. >
The predictions made in our
letters of some weeks ago that
there was a scheme on foot to at
tempt the passage of measure at
this session of council to do away
with non-citizen labor in this ma
tion to a considerable extent, were
well founded. The scheme began
to materialize in the lower house
of council to-day when Councillor
Hare from Illinois district intro
duced the following bill: "An act
TO amend Chapter 12, Article Is,
Section 65S, page 329, Compiled
Laws OF the Cherokee Naticn.
"Be it enacted by the national
council that Chapter II, Article Is,
Section 65S, Page 329 of the Com
piled Laws OF the Cherokee Ma
tion be Amended as follows, to-
wit:
"After the word Cattle, in the
first line on page 329, add: Or
as bookkeeper, clerk or manager
of any mercantile establishment. -"
This bill proposing the amend
ment may possibly pass the lower
house, but it will meet strong op-
position in the senate and in all
probabilities be "killed too dead
to skim"
The section as it now stands on
the statute book is as follows:
Sec. 658. All permits issued
must state the particular kind Of
labor TO be performed, whether ag-
ricultural, or mechanical, and no
permit shall be issued authorizing
citizen TO hire a non-cltizen to
ron, herd or manage cattle, and
any person, citizen of this nation,
violating any OF the provisions of
this act shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and upon convic-
tion be fined in sum not less
than one hundred dollars. nor
more than three hundred dollars,
and imprisoned not less than three
nor more than twelve months.
The clerks of the several dis
tricts shall not issue permits TO
any person except to "adults"
(April 10, 1881 and no person
shall be authorized to employ non
citizen laborers or farmers on more
than two places or Improvements,
and any person violating this pro
vision shall be punished by i'm.
prisonment for any term not less
than one year, and not exceeding
FIVE years, at the discretion of the
court trying the case. (November
