THE FINAL TREATY.
II. Va. Furman Says IL is Not Only IN
lawful. But Unjust to Al Concern
ed, Especially the Farmer.
Editor Ardmoreite:

In compliance with your re-
quest | herewith submit some
suggestions with reference to
the treaty between the Choctaw
Indians and the Dawes commits
sion.
The first question is, rs to the
legal right Of these parties TO
make such treaty-which, with
a few strokes of the pen, seeks
TO violate contracts recognized
and sustained by the United
States district, circuit and APP
pellate courts; wife's property
values created and held in good
faith and destroys equitable
rights, while at the same time
it affixes the stigma Of inferior
/ ity and servitude upon the III
dians.
The ifth amendment to the
constitution Of the United States
/ declares that mo person shall
/ be deprived OF lie, liberty or
property without due process Of
law" In constituting this clause
of the constitution the supreme
court Of the United States in
/ the ease Of NIurry -. Hoboken
l.. < |. Co., Is Howard y. 296.
said: Due process OF law
generally implies and includes
actor, reuS, judiX, regular allie
cations, opportunity 10 answer,
and a trial according 10 some
settled course OF judicial pro-
ceelinos." = q To avoid
misconstruction on so grave a
subject, we think it proper to
state that we do not think con
I gress can either withdraw from
judicial cognizance any matter
which from its nature is the
subject Of Il suit at the common
law, or in equitO, or admiralty;
nor, on the other hand, can it
bring under the judicial power
matter which from its nature
is not subject for judicial de-
termination. Suppose this
treaty had provided that all of
the white people in the Indian
Territory should be executed on
imprisoned. is there anyone
foolish enough to believe that
such a provision could orwould
. he enforced? Certainly not.
{ Why not. Because it would be
depriving these people of their
/ lives and liberty without due
process OF law. The same pro-
; vision OF the constitution which
: protects life and liberty from
{ legislative destruction also pro-
tects property, and the supreme
court, which has the power to
declare any law mconstitution-
al, has declared in the most sol
emn manner, that the word
property means amy matter
which from its nature is the
subject of a suit ut the common
law, or in equity, or admiralty" "
Our government is divided by
the constitution into three sep
arate and distinct branches, each
independent of the other. Con
gress enacts laws, but it is with
out the shadow of power to rem
| der judgments. In matters af-
fecting controversies with the
government, their acts do some
times have the effect of judg-
ments, because it is a principle
inherent and necessary to the
life Of government that the SOW
erelgnty cannot be sued except
upon special permission given.
But III controversies between
individuals every man has a
right to have his dav in court
where his life, his liberty or his
property IS at stake. No COM
mission, no treaty, no act of
congress can deprive him of
this right. Any such attempt

Indian. 1t proposes to divide
the land equally among the In
dians and give to each one a
fee simple title to his land. Fee
simple title, indeed! This Is
enough TO make n wooden man
laugh. Fee simple title means
absolute unconditional personal
ownership. Indians, read the
treaty: All lands allotted to
citizens under this agreement
shall be inalienable for twenty
five years, commencing with
the date of the patent to the al
I lottee. and shall not be taxed
while held by the allottee, or his
heirs, during that time, pro-
/ vided that any allottee twenty
one years of age may sell, for a
price 10 be actually paid, and
\ TO include no former indebted
mess or obligation, onc-fourth OF
/ his land six years after. and an
equal quantity twelve years
after. and an equal quantity
eighteen years after date of
patent. The exact terms and
considerations for such sales
must, however, be first submit
ted to and approved by the sec
Iretary of the interior"
Some OF the brightest and
most capable men III this coun-
try are Indians. 1t may be true
that there are those among the
Indians who are not capable of
taking care of themselves, but
why should all of them have
the badge Of servitude stamped
upon their foreheads! | greatly
mistake the intelligent and
lproud-spirited Chickasaws with
whom am acquainted if
they do not feel Inundated 10y
this stigma of inferiority. Those
who are incapable of taking
care of themselves could easily
have been protected. \ com
mission or court of Indians
could have been created, TO
whom ali questions as to the
capacity Of their people to take
care of themselves could have
been referred. The United
1 States Ecourts determine ques-
tionS of life. liberty and prop
crty. This matter might by
proper legislation have been
left 10 the courts. As it now
stands, every Indian is branded
as an ilnbecile; he cannot sell
any portion of the land to which
| he is said to possess a fee SIM
pie title. until six years have
passed, and then he can only
! sell one-fourth-nO, not then,
! because the secretary of the in
| feriOr may not approve the sale.
| To call such Il man u free man
and the owner OF land in fee
simple IS doing great violence to
the truth. If | were an Indian
/ | would regard this provision as
Il fragrant insult and burning
| disgrace to my manhood.
But this is not all. Listen:
mo allottec shall lease his al
lotment, or any portion thereof,
for a longer period than two
years, and then without the
privilege of renewal" !"
How any Indian with the least
pride or regard for the reputa-
ton Of his race could have been
induced to sign the treaty is a
mystery to me. Not allowed to
sell except after a long period
and in small quantities, and
then only upon obtaining the
permission of the secretary of
the interior, who doubtless has
never been in the Indian Terri
tory, and is as ignorant of the
conditions here as, a hog is of
the plan of salvation. Not al
