simple title to these quarter-sec-
tions of land; then we ask, What
did they pay the Cherokees for
all those exceptional and very
valuable political rights and privi-
leges which we have just above
enumerated? According to Mr..
AS view, they pay nothing; the
right of self-government, he would
claim to be to them, a free gift on
part of the Cherokee nation. The
better view, however, would be,
we think, TO regard the proportion
al sum paid by the Delawares into
the Cherokee fund as the price of
the formers citizenship. and this
sum, measured by the number of
acres in their segregated district,
as the consideration for the many
sweeping civil and political fran
chises which they secured from the
Cherokees under the compact.
1t is no argument against this
view to say that the Delawares
have not availed themselves of
these franchises; what is done, or
not done, by the Delawares after
the contract was made, has nothing
to do with the rights of the parties
under it; and it is the latter thing
that We are now talking about.

THE Cherokee national council
meets next Monday in regular an
nual session at Tahlequah. There
are some circumstances connected
with this years council that dis
tinguish it from any other council
sitting within the last quarter OF a
century. In its personnel 1t is de-
cidedly Indian, and a glance at
either house would indicate the
very thing that has happened, viz,
the fullblood element has tri-
umphed at the election in all the
nine districts. A council OF the
real Indians, like those that met
along the Blue Ridge a century
ago. But there is a long-drawn
echo of the former glory and pros
poets of the Cherokees that finds no
response in the coming council.
The fulfillment of treaty stipula-
tions guaranteeing the perpetual
protection of tribal government
was a fond dream till recently.
The last ray Of hope of such con-
summation has not yet left the full
blood breast, but mixed bloods
have ceased to think seriously OF
continuing as a separate govern
ment. What the next council at
tempts in the way of legislation 1t
is hard to conjecture, but 1t
is very sure there Will be no laws
passed looking to the abolition oil
their government or the voluntary
surrender of any of the rights now
possessed.

Which the Greater Sin!

From she Minneapolis tribune
A tragic tale comes from Geor-
gia, bringing with it material for
moralist as well as novelist, which
emphasizes anew"man's inhuman-
ity to man." Early in the war of
the rebellion a young husband left
his wife, to whom he had been
married about ten years and who
had borne him seven children, and
entered the confederate army. On
his return home after the war be
found that she had been able to
keep the children at school and
had also preserved their home
from the ravages of the enemy ,and
the reunited couple settled down
to what proved to be long and
contented life together, both being
now about eighty years old. A few
days since a wartime neighbor re-
turned from Australia after an alb
sence of years, and with inconceiv-
able malignity told the husband
that during his absence at the front
his wife had been untrue to him
with a federal officer who was then
stationed in the neighborhood.
The old man couldNot believe the
story, for he had never entertained
a suspicion of his wife's faithful
ness during all the years of their
welded life, but he found former
neighbors who reluctantly confirm
ed the statement of the original
mischief maker. A divorce suit
has been brought, the home circle
of nearly half a century has been
rudely broken, the grown children
of the couple have been over
whelmed with disgrace, and all be-
cause a malicious mind deliberate
ly dug up skeleton of the past,
wrought no one knows under what
peculiar temptation and atoned for
by lifetime of wifely devotion,
and the dragging forth of which
could work no possible good to any
living soul. Who shall say which
is the greater sin, whether judged
by human or divine standards?
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-10-28

WHEN congress gets ready to
legislate again on Indian matters
it is to be hoped that arrange
ments will be made for the pay
ment of the whole amount of mon
ey due the Cherokees from the
government, including the invest
ed funds together with the four
millions found dde on the recent
accounting had with the govern
ment. And the present is an op-
perfume time to present the latter
account and make good stiff fight
for its payment. 1t is lamenta-
BILE fact that the government is an
awful hard paymaster, but the
Cherokees may very prohtably
emulate its example as collector.
The findings in the "Wyly &C
counting" are now some three
years old and as yet there is no
sign of payment being made, not
withstanding that the account
reaches back into last century.
The settlement of these balances
was provided for in the strip deal,
but it is now apparent that all OF
the four million we get we must
make an heroic struggle for.

BETTER LEFT WITH CONGRESS.

Amid all that is being said about
the great mistake the Indians OF
the five tribes, and more especially
the Cherokees, have made in re-
fusing to treat with the Dawes
commission, there is g quiet feel
ing of security manifest among the
Indians themselves that they have
made no mistake. The first faint
impulse to wait and allow congress
to accomplish its own designs with
reference to the abolition of Indian
autonomy, has gradually and sure
ly crystalized into a deepset reso-
luton that the threats and over
:nres of the Dawes commission
cannot phase. The Indian mind
is slow to act, but when once clear
upon a proposition, acts with de-
cision and deliberation. The rea-
soniDg OF the fullblood Indians has
been that the Dawes commission
was acting only as men, and as
there were only four or five OF
them, maybe they might. like some
of their own leaders, fall into
temptation and go wrong; whereas,
on the other hand, the congress OF
the United States was made up of
some hundreds of the representa-
tives of the whole American gov
eminent; that there was less to
fear from such a body than there
was from the Dawes, commission.
They were told that they might
have something to say of the way
the thing should be done. This
meant that a handful of Indian
politicians would have something
to say and that the masses of the
tribe would know little that was
going on ill it was all over.
Those who are unprejudiced and
unbriased know that the Indians
have acted wisely. Perhaps con-
gress may wonder why the Dawes
commission failed. 1t is hard to
explain, but those who know the
true state of affairs here under
stand full well how and why the
Dawes commission tailed. The
commission thought to break the
backbone of resistance among the
Indians by forming a cabal of
themselves and a few leading In
dians. That was not the proper
thing to do, for the Indians feared
their own corrupt leaders, know
ing them as they did to care little
for the common Indian, and only
wanting to ''feather their own
nests

services rendered in formulating
the treaty of 1916 between the
United States and the Old Settlers,
or Western Cherokees. The most
important ones are those of the
heirs of William Duval and John
Rogers, of Fort Smith. Ark.
whose ancestors used their in
fiuence and furnished the means
for the Indian delegations to go to
Washington, ID. c., to arrange the
treaty. Their claims for services
and money advanced was allowed
by the Old Settler Auditing Com
mittee in 1S47, but no funds were
available with which to pay the
claims until recently and then the
present Old Settler Auditing Com
mittee refused to allow them.
Many of the original documents,
which are over so years old, are
filed with the papers.
A lively time is expected when
the suits come up for trial, as there
have been open charges of fraud
against some of the most promi-
nent Cherokee officials.

of all Presbyteries, pastors and
teachers be brought to bear upon
this matter"
The New York synod of the
United Presbyterian church in
session at Jersey City, adopted the
report of the committee on reform.
which says: "The conditions of
society are now more threatening
than ever and cannot be ignored
much longer. With what aston
ishment and humility was the fact
learned that a drinking bar, legal
lied through the signing of a petit
tiOn by professors, has been estab-
lished in old Princeton college. 1t
is a matter of some consolation
that the theological school is not
involved. But if students in
course of preparation for the
learned professions may be en-
couraged by such high authority
in using intoxicating beverages,
how long may we hope to keep the
ministry and even the pulpit from
the calamity of the cup? We can
not do less than enter our emphat-
lc protest against the appearance
of this old monster under the sane
tion of professors in American
Protestant institutions of learn

thoroughly posted as to the doings

paper desires to not only maintain
its reputation as an accurate news
gatherer, but will increase its facil-

The Frisco TO Guthrie

For several weeks the Guthrie
club has been considering a prop
osition looking to the building of
the extension of the Frisco rail-
road from Sapulpa, | T., to Guth-
rie. For obvious reasons the local
press said but little about the mat
ter. Now, since a straightout
proposition has been made to
Guthrie, added to the fact that
action must be taken within ten
days, it is well that people know
Of railroad progress.
Stated briefly, Major Brown, of
Girard, has the contract for build
ing the Frisco extension from Sa-
pulpa. The extension will be
built within year-there is no
question about that. Oklahoma
City has offered liberal bonus to
the projectors of the extension,
put it is the desire to build the
road to Guthrie. Ten days ago
Major Brown made a proposition
to the railroad committee of the
Guthrie club, in which he agreed
TO build the road to Guthrie pro-
viding the citizens of Guthrie
would furnish 1000, right-of-
way and terminal facilities. No
money was to be advanced, the
subscribers simply giving their
notes, said notes to come due thirty
days after the first train on the ex-
tension ran into Guthrie. The
proposition further stated that the
projectors should be given until
July 3, 1899, to complete the road,
but that the road would be in op-
Grafton within yeor from Sep
tember l, this year. The club,
very properly, considered the
proposition very liberal and cas-
ual canvass showed the public in
general agreed with the sentiment
of the club. Twenty days were
given for the acceptance or rejec-
ton of this proposition and ten
days remain for final action.
Last night the opera house was
crowded with citizens, who re-
sponded to a call, to discuss the
project. H. II. Hagan acted as
chairman and briefly outlined the
proposition submitted. The sent
iment Of all present was over
whelmingly in favor of the prOpo-
sition and the prediction was free
ly made that three days would see
the necessary sum contributed.
Another meeting will be held Sat
urday night.
The Guthrie club has list of
citizens who have agreed to con-
tribute, and so far as Guthrie is
concerned the Frisco extension is
a certainty. The proposed road
will traverse a fertile section of
the country and will be the means
of developing the coal fields in
the east. Major Brown asserts
that coal can be laid down in Guth-
rie at 81 80 a ton.
There is no balderdash or paper
talk about this matter. All part
les concerned mean business. The
Leader herewith states the plain.
simple facts, and since Guthrie
manifests the old time interest in
its own welfare, it is not unlikely
that within nine months the 'Fris-
CO road will be operating its line
into this city.-Guthrie Leader.

THE DELAWARE CLAIM.
An Elaborate Explanation Of its Pro-
visions by Gentleman OF
Understanding.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-There are
three different ways devised by the
treaty of 1866 in which friendly
tribes may be introduced and set
tied in the Cherokee country.
The first way, in the language of
the treaty itself, is this:
The United States may settle
friendly Indians in any part of the
Cherokee country west of So de-
grees, to be taken in a compact
form in quantity not exceeding
one hundred and sixty acres for
each member of each of said tribes
thus to be settled; the boundaries
Of each said district to be distinctly
marked, and the land conveyed in
fee simple to each of said tribes to
be held in common, or by their
members in severalty as the United
States may decide" f"
This is one way; plain, it is, and
easy to be understood. The tribes
thus settled became the owners OF
the land which they occupy; they
retain their tribal organizations,
and are separate from, and inde-
pendent of, the Cherokees.
Now for the second method; let
the treaty speak again:
"The United States may settle
any civilized Indians, friendly to
the Cherokees and adjacent tribes,
within the Cherokee country on
unoccupied lands east of SO degrees,
etc.
"Should any such tribe, or any
Indians settling in said country
abandon their tribal organization,
there being first paid into the
Cherokee national fund a sum of
money which shall sustain the
same proportion to the then exist
ing national fund that the number

evening he drank just enough to

he impaired the information. He

member had on a fine suit of

party that if they wanted suits he
would get Emmett to make them

whether Dalton had presented the
other two members with a suit
