End of the Session Approaching
A Delegation.

IAHLEQUAH, JAN. 10, VI.
One of the longest and most te-
dious sessions of the Cherokee
council ever held will, IL is be-
lieved, in a few hours adjourn sine
die. But few bills have become
laws; the most of the time has
been occupied in wrangling and
disputes. II is doubtless humili-
ating to the average Cherokee to
know that the destiny of himself
and those dependent on him for
support are in the hands of those
who are working for the "loayes
and the fishes."
The impeachment proceedings
against the chief were withdrawn
for some cause. They were either
false or the National party has
been paid to withdraw them. The
record the dominant party has
made this council will not inspire
great deal of confidence among
the people. The sale of the bonds
has proven to be too great task
for the council to tackle. 1t has
for more than ten weeks been the
all-absorbing topic, and some of
the "doings" that have gone on
are enough to mantle the cheeks
of every citizen in the nation with
shame.
r. T. Wilson e. Co., the parties
who purchased the Strip debt, are
ready to pay the money whenever
the transfer is made. and dele
CATION has at last, after much
wrangling, been secured. Rev. w.
A. Duncan and Rev. Joe Thompson
are the delegates and will leave at
once for Washington to make the
transfer and attend any other bus
mess for the nation that may
come up.
The Shawnee compromise bill
passed the senate but was killed
in the house. The general opin-
ion among the leade RS of both
parties is that no such bill will
ever be passed by a Cherokee
council.
Chadick came back TO Table
quah a few days ago and some of
his whilom friends actually
snubbed him; it was even hinted
pretty broadly that he would be
handled roughly if he undertook
to remain long. He has, through
his attorney y.eX-Governor Fletcher.
fled a protest with Secretary Car
Isle against the transfer of the in
debtedness of the government to
this nation for the Strip. He
claims a vested right in the Strip
money.

stipulation in order, as the treaty
reads, "to free themselves and
their posterity from an embarrass-
ing connection with the territory
of Arkansas and guard themselves
from such connections in the fu-
ture." Under such stipulations
these tribes withdrew to the lands
they now occupy.
And yet now comes the same
Arkansas. through her chief mag
istrate and proposes to seize upon
this country SO solemnly set apart
by the United States as the home
of the Indians forever, under the
shameful and unfounded plea that
public safety demands it.
And not alone il seems is the
governor of Arkansas in this dia-
bolical scheme of robbery, for he,
it seems is upheld and supported
by the Hon. Mr.. McRea, repre-
sentative of Arkansas in congress
and chairman of the house COM
mittee on public lands. He also
is reported in the papers as de-
claring himself in favor Of "break.
ing up and destroying in toto" the
present conditions of the Indian
Territory and gives utterance to
language which leads US to believe
that he too has entered into the
conspiracy to create a public opin-
ion against the Indian by indulg-
ing in the cry Of mad dog" TO
define the difference be tween Mr..
McRea who would, as he says re-
peal the treaties with the Indians
and seize his lands and the rob bers
who hold up the trains is task
too great for the writer
Desiring to be let alone, the
whole history OF the Indian
teaches him that his prosperity
and very existence is bound up
with, and is in the hands OF the
United States. He knows that
his treatment by the government
Is largely due to that public opin
ion which directs that government.
He knows full well that his future
depends on that public opinion,
and for this reason he compre-
hends the vast consequence of the
attack now being made on him,
and in his weakness appeals to
that spirit Of justice OF the Ameri-
can people which has never yet
failed to make itself known.
To protest against this effort TO-
ward his destruction, against this
calumny on which ii is founded,
against the violation of long exist.
ing and sacred treaties, against
this attempt TO weaken and finally
overthrow the christian sympathy
which the good people OF the
United States have always enter
tanned for this race, against this
most cruel, unjust and diabolical
scheme championed by the gov
ernor OF Arkansas and his COCOON
spiralors is the object Of this letter.

THE COMMISSION HAS COME.

The long-looked-for commission
to consult with the five tribes
on the subject of allotment and
statehood has arrived and is
now quartered at Muskogee. Be.
fore this commission is dissolved
the chances are that it will have
accomplished something of the
task imposed upon it by the
general government. These gen.
tlemen have been selected for this
work with the understanding on
the part Of the government that
their mission was not an impossi-
BILE one. They have been selected
by the president after a careful
consideration Of their especial fit
ness for this particular work. They
come here in possession OF a fair
knowledge of the state of affairs
existing in this country. They
come here with the full knowledge
that the "Indian for revenue" will
have 10 be met, and that this same
Indian(?) is prepared to make a
stubborn fight for Indian auton-
omy. A system OF government
that has nurtured the "hrst fami-
lies" for generations is to be at
tackled and defended Those who
have stood up to the public trough
SO long that they believe that
self-same trough was made for
them will come forward with their
objections, and they are ready to
tell the commission that system
OF government that allows a few
men TO monopolize vast areas Of
land for their private use and BEN
eft should be let alone just a little
while longer till the poor Indians
get ready for a change. The treat
les that were made when there
were Indians here will be brought
out to prove that the United States
must not iHteriere with this coun-
try, and that land in common is
the best way for them TO hold the
Indians land for him. If he had
it set apart to him individually
there is danger Of his losing some

sire to keep on holding and using

benefit, while the ladian is the

WHITE ADOPTED CITIZENS
Ignored by the Cherokee Council
"A Meeting Suggested.

WAGNER, |. T., Jan. 10, 1894.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:--I herewith
enclose you a copy of a bill intro
duced by Senator Gunter, of Sc
quoyah district and also give you
a brief history of what became of
it.
Shortly after the call session
of council was called together |
presented the chief with petitions
from the white adopted citizens of
the Cherokee nation, signed by
something near six hundred of the
above named class, asking that
their rights may be clearly and per-
manently defined. The petitions
were referred to the senate by the
chief accompanied by special mes.
sage recommending that some ac-
ton be taken in the matter. This
bill was introduced by Judge
Gunter and Mr.. Sanders, "Soggy, Z"
of Saline district, made a motion
to table indefinitely. His motion
was amended by Mr.. Gray, of
Canadian to refer it to the judiciary
committee; the amendment car
ried. 6. w. Benge, S. w. Gray
and Ellis Starr composed the com
mittee. This did not suit Mr..
Benge, ~ preferred some easier
and more convenient way to dis
pose OF the bill so he introduced a
joip. resolution asking for a joint
committee from the two houses,
showing that a resolution OF the
same kind had been introduced be-
fore and indefinitely tabled in the
house. This resolution failed to
carry and the senate adjourned
until morning, and the bill is still
sleeping in the senate, notwith-
standing Mr.. G. w. Benge made
his race in Tahlequah district on
the promise Of equal rights 10 all +,
and the adopted vote elected him.
| tried to get the bill introduced
by several National members, Mr..
Benge and Mr.. Ross among the
number, during the regular session
but failed. | am satisfied that it
is useless TO make any more at
tempts here and would recon.
mend meeting of all the adopted
citizens to take some action in re-
gard TO the matter.
The Shawnee bill was defeated
in the lower house and heard it
declared by many that they had
no rights whatever. Now, fellow
citizens, it is time for every adopt
ed citizen, let his color be what it
may. to know his standing in this
country, and therefore | would
recommend that We have a meet
ing OF the adopted citizens at some
central point on the railroad. |

lent for all parties, but | am will

have it early as possible. | want

trary to the decisions of the su.
preme court Of the Cherokee ma
ton and the departments at Wash
ington, d. c., as also the decision
of the court of claims, and said law
being the cause of much diseasis-
faction among our people; and
Whereas, it is the desire and
the interest of the whole Cherokee
people that all the citizens be unit
ed in protecting and guarding the
interest OF the Cherokee nation and
that no misunderstanding should
exist among her citizens, and that
the peace and prosperity Of the
Cherokee nation depends upon the
unity and loyalty Of all its citizens,
and that no cause should be gwen
to ALLEVIATE any part OF the Chero-
kee people frem the common ben
efits of the Cherokee nation, but
that all citizens should be equal in
every respect, therefore,
BE it enacted by the national
council:
Section 1st, that the law passed
by the national council in 1886 en-.
titled construction of the rights
of Cherokee citizenship. as design.
ed to be conferred on freedmen and
friendly Indians by the 9th and15th
articles of the treaty of 1885," APP
proved April 9th, 1886, shall be
and is hereby repealed. and that
all legally adopted citizens of the
Cherokee nation shall be taken aud
deemed to be Cherokees with all
the rights, privileges and immuni-
ties, in every respect as native
Cherokees, save such restrictions
as are set forth in the constitution
of the Cherokee nation; provided,
that this act shall not be so con-
strued as to confer any rights upon
adopted citizens by marriage to
adopt another.
Section 2. Be it further enacted,
that any act or parts of acts con-
flicting with the foregoing section
are hereby repealed.

The disagreement or difference
between Chief Harris and the ma
tional council is of the kind that
will not be placated, but so far Ike
chief, like his mighty prototype
at Washington, hasn't been downed
to any great extent. A little pres
ent authority and a disposition to
use it in self defense has saved the
chief the penalty of impeachment.

THOSE who take issue with Gov
ernor Fishback in reference to the
conditions existing here, should
remember that it is no argument
against the governors position to
say the criminals come from
Arkansas or Texas or Missouri.
The point is, they are here and
what is going to be done about it?
We may get mad and make faces
at the Arkansas governor, but
train robbing and murder goes on
all the same.

If the evils complained of in
Governor Fishback's letter are
here, (and they are) what is going
TO be done about the matter? Is
it the part of wisdom to fall
out with the Arkansas governor
for telling us the truth? Must we
answer his accusation by heaping
upon his head and upon his state
personal abuse? Can we rectify
the evils that we know exists here
by browbeating those who point
them out to US? Nay, verify.

THERE is little likelihood of
Chadick being able to tie up the

prevent the payment a single day.

able to decide that he has no

man who declared he would not

elected to the presidency and he
never had it cut afterwards.
