THE INDIAN QUESTION.

satustlon in the Territory of the Five Civil
lized Tribes.
The Dawes commission, after nearly
FIVE years of persuasion, has succeeded
in making treaties with the Choctaws,
Chickasaws and Greeks, but the Legis-
lature Of the latter nation declined to
ratify by an almost unanimous vote.
Nor are they encouraged to hope for
ratification. The Cherokees have per-
sistently refused to make any treaty,
and the commission does not see any
prospect of persuading them to do so.
They have encountered two very Sc
rious difficulties. The Cherokee nation
-and the others in less degrees
ruled by few shrewd and autocratic
natives, who by their force of charac-
ter and abilities have made themselves
dictators, rule the remainder of the
tribe with despotic power. They have
seized and occupy large tracts of the
best land in the territory, and have
leased much of it to white ranchmen
and other settlers, from which they
derive large revenues and pocket the
money, although. they have no more
claim upon it than other members of
the tribe, who lead a miserable exist
ence in ignorance and poverty and are
practically the slaves of tyrannica1
masters If the intention of the law
which created the Dawes commission
is carried out these autOcrats would be
deprived of their wealth and the lands
they control, which would be ap-
praised and divided in equal portions
and impartially among all the Chero-
KEGS. Hence they refuse to make
treaty, and will continue to do so
until the government intervenes and
compels them to recognize the rights
of their oppressed Acknowledgement.
In order to do this Secretary Bliss re-
commends that law be enacted by
Congress providing for the establish
ment of a uniform system of govern
ment over the Indian territory as a
whole, similar to that in the other ter
ritories, which will place all the inhab-
itants in possession of the rights and
liberties guaranteed all citizens Of the
United States by the constitution.
In addition to the Indians there are
about 25O.OOO white people in the ter
ritory, who by invitation or by toler-
ance have settled upon the Indian
lands and have built houses and i'm
proved farms, and established villages
and towns without titles to the prop
erty they occupy; without any legal
status whatever or recognized rights
Of person or property, being merely
squatters or tenants by sufferance.
Any such action as is now proposed
would be technically a violation OF the
treaties that now exist between the
government and the five nations,
which guarantee them the right OF
self-government, but the officials of the
Interior Department contend that the
nations have forfeited their rights by
continual violation of the terms of the
treaties, and have no just claims upon
the government in this respect.

FAVORS NO VESTMENT.
Bishop Cheney of the Episcopal
Church on Altar Dress

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Bishop Cheney.
Who has just returned from New York.
where he has been attending the Cen
eral Council of the Reformed Episcopal
church, was asked for his version of
the one exciting controversy which
came to be known as the vestment con-
test. Bishop Cheney said: II wish it
to be understood that I favor no par
ticular garment or church vestment.
but L am opposed to any particular gar
ment or robe being prescribed. If we
are restricted in what we shall wear.
we shall be. told what we must sing.
or eat, for instance
I was opposed to any restriction be-
ing put upon our Christian church lib
erty. A layman of Philadelphia pre-
cipitated the difficulty by Offering a
resolution prescribing a black robe, and
that only as the clerical dress for
church services. The white surplice and
black scarf We're decried as Roman
Catholic and the Bishops robes, which
L only wear in the discharge of some
Episcopal office, We're denounced. con-
tended only for the fullest liberty in
choice of vestments. My resignation of
certain ChairmanshipS of the commit
tee and trusteeships, the gifts of the
General Council, does not mean sepa-
ration from the church There is no
question of cession involved. The SYN

ness and that no relations or connec-
tons of any kind may be sustained
with them. The whole situation ap-
pears more hopeful to-day
