fcult TO Adjust these matters, and
1t becomes our duty to attend to
these matters now. | tell you, my
friends, when you take this matter
in hand even now II is the most
difficult problem on earth to solve.
| tell you you have no idea
the importance it brings to the
commission.
We have gone to the authorities
and pleaded with them and endeav-
ored to make propositions with
them aud get them TO help us with
this work so their people might be
protected, but they have been as
Indifferent as the rock of Gibralter.
The love of gain has consumed all
their other faculties and they are
going on in their dishonorable way
to gain wealth. Now you under.
stand we have asked these people
earnestly to take hold with us, II
they would select good men you
see how much responsibility it
would relieve us ol2 But they say
the end is not yet. They send
their delegates to Washington to
represent the Choctaw and Chick
asaw people. Who are they rep
resenting2 They go and repre-.
sent themselves. Hereafter they
will have a very poor hearing.
Now what are we going to do with
this2
We are going to protect these
people and we will do most any
thing they want us to do to pro-
tect them and their rights.
The Indians title to this land
in the territory is Just as perfect
as the peoples in the states are to
their land. There isn't an inch of
land but what the Indian has an
absolute title to. We mean to
apportion the land among you in
the most equitable way possible.
In the Cherokee country there will
be about 40 acres to the head,
and about one-half of that is suita-
BILE for cultivation. So you see
there is no more land than they
should have for them to make
homes; therefore there is nothing
there for the white man. Now
come down to the Creek nation;
they have about 200 acres to the
head, about one-half fit for culti-
waiting purposes. Go. on down to
the Seminoles, poor creatures,
they have got a piece of land that
rests over a ridge like an old-fash-
ioned saddle pocket used to rest
upon the old poor pony. They
need it all. Now the Chickasaws
and Choctaws have about six or
seven hundred acres to the head.
We might say it would be a good
thing to give them 160 acres
apiece; but they are opposed to
anything OF ihis kind, and they
are decidedly opposed to it, and
we propose to let the m do just as
they please with it.

5. We further state that there
