The intruder delegation in
Washington are bending their ener.
gies at the present time in trying
to get some legislation through
congress that will enable them to
60 into the United States courts in
this Territory and prosecute their
claims to citizenship. ii is not at
all likely that congress will under
take to review or set aside the de
cision of the supreme court of the
United States in this matter.
OF course the Cherokee delegation
will insist on the carrying out of
every obligation on the part of the
government. The acts of congress
on this particular phase of the
question are both explicit and re-
cent, and if adhered to will settle
the intruder question finally and
ultimately.

AMONG the leaders in the Cher
okee nation, the man who frankly
tells the people the true condition
of affairs as regards change is the
real friend and benefactor of the
common people. If telling the
people that change of land ten
ure and giving up tribal relations
was out of the question and not
likely to occur in score of years
was really true it might do to talk
that way, but everybody knows
that such is not the case.

BISHOP HAYGooD, the eminent
Southern Methodist divine died at
Covington, Georgia, Sunday morn
ing. Atticus G. Haygood was the
editor of the Methodist Sunday
school publications when the writ
er vas boy. He was elected a
bishop some twenty years ago but
declined the honor, being the only
man in the history OF the church
to ever decline so great a mark of
distinction. A few years ago he
was again elected bishop and ac-
cepted the place which he held act
lively till his death. He did much
for the education OF the colored
people of the south, and was the
dispenser OF the famous "John F.
Slater fund" set apart by the man

THE national editorial associa-
ton, $50 strong, have gone down
into Florida on an excursion, and
may 60 over to Cuba to assist the
insurgents. The dispatches state
that the arlnories and gun stores
at Tempa were raided a few nights
ago and several stand of arms and
a large amount of ammunition
taken, but, of course, the news
paper people had nothing to do
with that.

Elsewhere in this issue Is
printed a communication which
contains a severe and well merited
rebuke to the board of education
for turning out the teachers of the
Vinita public school. This action
on the board is another argument
in favor of law providing for the
selection of teachers by the home
board of directors.

IT would be too awfully bad for
anything if some of the sweet
scented officials of the Cherokee
nation should wander into ways
that are dark and tricks that are
vain" A nation and a tribe that
has distinguished itself by the i'm
maculate purity of its officials will
necessarily be shocked at even the
suspician OF corruption on the part
of a public official. Of course there
has been a few Irregularities oc-
casionally such as the s22, 500
transaction, that has been so long
ago that it ought not to be men,
toned, and during the late pay
ment there might have,been some
little capering that was not quite
right, but lift now develops that the
secretary of the board of education
has one wrong public confidence
will be utterly destroyed.

From Washington.

The following are a few extracts
from private letters received from
Chief Mayes and delegate Harris
by Executive Interpreter Covel:
Our affairs seem TO be in better
shape than the newspapers report,
yet there is strong septimenl
against US. The Jones resolution
relative to intruders is before the
house committee on Indian affairs,
and the delegation feel confident OF
their ability to ultimately defeat it.
There are other bills pending
touching our interests-the Berry
territorial bill, which l do not now
apprehend. and some townsite
schemes which will also be
defeated.
We called on The president yes
terday on the intruder question in
particular and our affairs generally.
| presented him with a letter
which | prepared, asking the re-
moval of the intruders. Our inter
view was very pleasant and the
president assured us OF his desire
to do the right thing and that he
would carefully read our views.
Very respectfully,
S. II. MAYEs.
FROM DELEGATE HARRIS.
1t so happened that on yester-
day when we called on the secre-
tary that JEFF Watts, his brother
and Hubbard were there. Watts
tried 10 excuse themselves by say
ing the meeting was unexpected
and started to leave, when the Sec
retary said it was unexpected to
him and asked Watts to sit down
as he had the very parties togeth-
er that he desired and proceeded
to quiz him as to what he wanted.
Watts stated he had not had fair
trial as to his application for ciu-
zenship, etc. When the secretary
informed him that he had had oc-
casion to review his case and that
if his department had the author
ity to pass on the matter he would
decide against his application
for citizenship as the proof was not
sufficient to warrant q decision
otherwise, and that the Cherokee
authorities reached the right con-
clusion in deciding the Watts case
adversely. x x balieve the
president and secretary will re-
move the intruders unless some ac-
tion by congress prevents, which
the intruders is now trying to have
done. \ resolution passed the
senate postponing the matter and
is now before the house committee
on Indian affairs. We hope to de-
feat il there. | feel that no seri.
Gus legislation toward US will be
had if President Cleveland can
prevent 1t.
You have no doubt seen the re-
port OF the attorney general on the
S4, 800, 900 claim of the nation. |
am fearful it will be hard to over
come this report with congress and
that it will finally have to go to
the courts, but we will do our ut
most TO get it. Yours truly,
G. J. HARRIS.
