BETTER THAT WAY.

There is a good deal of dissatis-
faction manifested at the act OF
congress authorizing the Dawes
commission to make a roll of citi-
zens OF this country, or in other
words constituting that commits
sion a citizenship court for the In
dian Territory. But while we
must admit the seeming injustice
of this step. and that it is in the
face of the DEGREES OF the supreme
court of the United States, there
is at least some compensation in
the fact that it will do away with
our own corrupt and disgraceful
citizenship lobby at Tahlequah
during every session of council.
1t will forever preclude the posi-
bility of some of our public men
going down there and bribing
members enough to admit whole
families at time, some of whom
never saw this nation. That this
is done can be verified right here
in Vinita. The writer can go
down on the streets almost any
day and point out a man (and a
prominent official at that who ac-
cepted $500 only last November
for securing the admittance OF
family of 16, some of whom live
in California and never did live in
the Cherokee nation. These peo-
pie not only were admitted to citi-
zenship but drew s265.70 each as
their share of the Strip money.
Now can the Dawes commission
do anything more disgraceful than
that? Is the country safe when
such high handed plunderers go
free and unpunished? Nay, verify.
If the Dawes commission should
admit the whole 5000 or 10000
claimants and forever shut the
door against others by allotment
and the giving of every citizen his
or her pro rata share of the land,
it would be preferable to leaving
us in the hands of the scoundrels
among our own citizens.

A LACK OF IMPORTATION.

With all the discussion of the
Indian question in Washington
during the last five years, with the
yoluminous reports of the Dawes
commission and of numerous other
commissions and agencies touch
ing the condition of affairs in this
territory, yet the average congress
man and senator is comparatively
ignorant of the true conditions
here. In fact, our own people and
residents in the Indian country
differ very widely as to the state
of affairs here now. There are
scarcely two of our own citizens
who can agree either as to the
causes or the remedy; so those on
the outside can hardly be expected
to understand the matter perfectly.
There is no doubt, in the light of
the treaties, and of the title these
people hold to their country, but
what a large proportion of the leg
islation touching this country in
the last ten years has been without
the sanction of precedent, law or
treaty. For instance, the govern
ment of the United States grants
the Cherokees a title in fee to their
land; then it undertakes (and suc-
ceeds) in forcing the Cherokees to
share this same title in fee with
some thousands Of other people
against their desires. Last year
an act was passed discontinuing
the jurisdiction of the Fort Smith
and Paris courts over this country,
and in less than twelve months
after the passage of this act some
of the same members that had in
sisted on the passage of the first
act were wild in their efforts to re-
peal this same law. A lack of in
formation as to the needs of this
country among congressman, and
a morbid desire to legislate for
this Indian Territory has caused
more than one member to blunder.
