MEMORABLE LAW.

The Indians, as the inhabitants
and rightful owners of this terri
tory are familiarly called, are
just now peering with more than
usual anxiety into the mist which
shrouds their immediate futu re-.
And it is not strange that the citi-
zens Of the five tribes should grow
restless and suspicious under the
present state of affairs as regards
the continuation of their much
cherished tribal relations. No
commission sent here from the
United States government, nor in
deed can congress itself, see the
situation here as a native sees it,
because outsiders must necessari-
ly view the matter from an entire
ly different standpoint and see it
without any reference to the ma
tional pride, or sentiment, or ira
ditions of the Indian. There can
be ne question in the mind of any
intelligent citizen at the present
time and in the light of experience
and the general trend of events,
but what the United States has no
desire but to deal honestly with
the Indian. A point has been
reached where it is scarcely pos
sible to continue Indian autonomy
over this or any other Indian
reservation. Aside from the ex-
penss, not TO say utter impossible
ily, of longer protecting these peo-
pie as wards of the government
from the encroschments of people
from the states-foreigners so far
as the Indian citizen is concerned
the Indian has reached a point
where he must be protected from
the more avaricious of his own
kind. His system Of holding land
in common is failure, practically
and thoroughly demonstrated.
The same thing has eventually
happened here that would happen
in any civilized community in the
world. The big fish eat up the
little ones; the more capable of
our people have got in possession
Of the lions share and division is
the only remedy left.
The only reason that the lovern-
ment has not laid hands on these
Indian oligarchies long ago and
changed their government into a
state il the desire TO fulfill certain
treaty stipulations made at time
when the conditions we're far diff
ferent from what they are at
present.
The Dawes commission comes
to the FIVE tribes very much as a
surgeon goes to patient to per-
form a dangerous operation.-an
operation that may cost the life of
the afflicted. Indeed, it is certain
that the operation as suggested by
surgeon Dawes will utterly destroy
the body polite of these Indian
nations. But the surgeons have
come for the second time with
their instruments, fully dstermin-
ed TO perform the operation, not
withstanding the patient is in a
high fever and opposed to the knife
being applied. But the sick in such
sascs are NOT TO be consulted very
far, 50 the operation Is going on.

Is IN coSsEsrESTG

Ifthere is an organization in the
world that has been petted and
doomed and helped continually by
the press Of the country at large il
has been the w. G. T. U. AndIin
the territory it has been especially
so. The newspapers at Tahlequah,
we believe without a single ex-
ception, have thrown their columns
wide open always to the w. @. T.
u, and in this city it has been un-
qualifiedly so. That the Muldrow
Register should be singled out of
all the papers in the country and
especially honored is a little
strange indeed. No one would re.
fuse TO concede the Register its
just share of commentator for its
position on this or any other ques-
ton that effects the morals of the
people at large. But have not
other papers taken as firm stand
in the cause of temperance all
along as has the Register? Has
not rHE CHIEFTAIN planted itself
solidly as the rock Of Gibraltsr on
the principles OF law and order
and of temperance Has anybody
ever had to ask where The CHEF
TAIN stood in all these years on
the vital questions that effect the
moral and religious life OF the
community Nay, verify. Its
most prominent and aggressive
foes have been the saloons.
Then again, a matter that may
or may not be relevant to the
question at issue, but a matter
that enters into the very web and
woof of Cherokee national life and
liberty is the fact that the Register
represents the intruder element
in this country. OF all the dark
clouds that overhang the Chero-
kee nation today none approach in
density or are so heavily sur
charged with the lightning of death
and disruption of her institutions
as the cause whose mouth piece is
this same Register. The Chero-
KEGS have always been especially
friendly to the organization of the
W. G. T. U. 1t has been a source
of pride to them that many of its
highest officers have been Chero-
KEGS by blood and absolutely moth
ing that it could have done would
have been more distasteful to them
than the Endorsement Of a paper
that has been arrayed against them
from the day of its inception.

Official statistics of agricultural
operations in Kansas show that
the farmers are giving much more
attention this year to their crops
than to politics. 1t appears that
the area of corn planted is 7,500,-
600 acres and of oats sown 1900
900 acres, making in all 5000, 900
acres Of these two feeding grains
an area which only one state, Iowa,
has exceeded.

JOHN BATES, of 0owskin prairie,

THE Ross organ in this city says
in its issue of the Sth instant:
"The duties of the next admins

doctor, the National party in its

this present form of government
and hand it down unimpaired."
Come now, its too early in the
campaign to attempt to blow hot

FROM present indications Judge
Mack Landrum will be nomi-
mated by acclsmation for senator
on the National ticket in Delaware
district. 1t should be a source of
pride and pleasure to the banner
district to send man like Judge
Landrum to the senate. The
gentleman's natural ability coupled
with abundant educational advant-
ages render him very available
candidate.

The Muldrow Registers repeated
assertions that there is no hell,
and its general disbelief of the
bible seems to have captivated the
w. c. T. U., as the organization
extended its unqualified indorse-
ment of that journal at its annual
meeting at Claremore last week.
But then, a sober infidel is prob
ably better than drunken believ-

By The time this is in print 49,
600 OF 10000 people will be on
dead run for something like 500
claims in the Kickapoo country.
Ten years hence the problem will
not be solved as to who are the
owners of these claims, but in the
meantime the lawyers will have
had good deal Of fun out of it.

The Water We Drink.

We drink so much more water
in summer than in winter that it
is almost imperative that we have
pure water during the hot summer
months, since scientific men tell
us that there is great danger to
health by the use Of impure water.
Water may be purified by filter
ing more rapidly and cheaper than
by any other process.
