council is expected to devise some
other means of paying the public
debt than taking a part Of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the Strip for
such purpose. Further, some
means will have to be provided for
keeping the debts of this nation
paid. We might very convenient
ly pay them out of the Strip mon.
ey now, but could never do so
again and the same difficulties
would arise in the future. The
people expect the whole amount
available to be paid out to them
at the earliest possible moment.
They want the money to pay their
debts with, and to make such in
vestments as the amounts received
will admit of.

Chairman Wheeler of the COM
mittce on territories, states that
because of rush of their business
and many important measures now
pending in congress, it was doubt
full whether his bill providing for
the admission of Oklahoma would
be reached. He has received a
letter from Chief Harris of the
Cherokee nation, protesting
against any such measures as the
McRea bill, which forces statehood
on the Indians. 1t was further
pointed out that the Indians have
long memories, and instead of
voting with the parties which had
forced statehood upon them con
trary to their wishes they would
vote against them.
Chairman Wheeler is pronounc.
ed in his opposition to any meas.
ure which will ultimately result
in violation Of the treaties with
the Indians. He said:
"These treaties are as binding as
could nave been positively made.
We cannot afford as congress, to
violate them, and will have to
wait until the commission that has
been appointed to treat with them
has entered into some arrange.
ment which will be satisfactory to
the Indians"
Neither political party will run
the risk of forcing upon the In
dians Objectionable statehood As
Chairman Wheeler puts it, the
Indian has too good a memory.
Those in the territory who are
opposed to severing the tribal re.
lations have not been slow to ap-
preciate the importance ot calling
attention to this characteristic of
the Indians. Washington dis

The people of this country are
becoming very much disturbed
over the prospect of a change of
government. That the FIVE tribes
will ere long be included within
the bounds of a state or territory
no we'll informed man will try to
deny. The majority Of the more
intelligent classes realize it per.
fectly well, but are unwilling to
advocate such a measure for yari.
Gus reasons. The people who are
most Incorporating in their
opposition to allotment and state
hood are the ones who are most
busily engaged in preparing for
the same. There are men all
over this nation who are really
anxious for some change. Since
the opening up to settlement Of
the country west of US, the posi-.
bility of a continuance for any
length Of time Of the autonomy of
the five Indian nations has been
given up. The great question
with many just at this juncture is
what will they get out of the
change when it does come.

Council has for some days been
in the throes of a convulsion over
a delegation to 60 to Washington
and make the transfer Of the in.
debtedness Of the United States to
the Cherokees. The majority
seems to favor the payment being
made by check, as such large sums
of money would be subject to much
risk. The places of making the
payment have not yet been desig-
mated, but Vinita, it is expected,
will be one of those selected, as it
is on the line between Coowee-
scoowee and Delaware districts
and is accessible from all points by
rail, and having hotel and other
facilities that render it a very con.
venient place for the people to re-
ceive their per capita money. The
First National Bank of Vinita is
amply provided with safety vaults
for the deposit Of money.

THERE is probably no longer a
doubt as to the sale of the bonds.
This time the trade has evidently
been made, and the money is
forthcoming. THE CHIEFTAIN at
the present writing is unable to

but those who are in a position to
know anything of the matter think
the payment will begin not later

THERE has been a great deal said
about Governor Fishback's letter
to the president in reference to
crime in this country, and not a
few have tried to break the force
of his remarks by the abuse of the
governor and his state, bat the
conditions pointed out still re-
main. Fishback has hit the nail
on the head and there is no use
in denying it. The more public
opinion is directed to the matter
the more truth there appears to be
in it.
