Philadelphia Record: Old Joe Foster

shohocken, was selected few days ago
to make a collection for the burial of a
colored friend. 1t took much persever-
ance on the part of Joe to raise the
amount, cut he finally succeeded. and
the funeral became an assured fact. The
gossips however could not allow the
occasion to pass UNDECIDED. and Just as
the old preacher was in the midst of his
discourse Joe overheard the following
dialogue between two dusky damsels: Il
wonder what Mistah Fostah an agwine

preacher and was calling for the funeral
director. 'Mistah Undahtakah, he ex-
claimed, how much am youah bill2'
.Eighty-four dollars was the reply.

said Joe, as he counted out the money.

your civilization until all of the finer
sensibilities of honor and right are as

The representatives appointed under

induce the Cherokee people to make

and argument the final and complete
removal of intruders from our coun-
try. We hold our lands and money in
common, and in the light of past eX
perience it would be criminal on our
part to enter into further negotiations
until we are prepared to definitely
determine for ourselves the heirs of
our estate and be placed in full pos

would be the result, and the outcome

UNDERGROUND TUNNEL.
Contracts for the Work Let by a
Powerful Syndicate.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia big syndi-
cate of New York and foreign bankers
has been organized for the purpose of
building the underground tunnel 1t
has not only let all of the contracts, but
it has arranged with the Carnegie Steel
c., for the iron and steel, besides COM
pleting all of the other arrangements,
such as the deposit Of $5,00O,0O0 cash to
be made with the commissioners The
syndicate is headed by the Deutsche
bank, of Berlin, and John A Stewart,
president of the United States Trust
company, the lattersof whom for the
present prefers not to make known the
interest that he represents 1t is
understood, however; that among them
are j. P. Morgan 81 Co., and several
leading bankers in Wall street. The
names of the Vandenbilts are also men
toned in this connection, their our
pose, it is said, being to strengthen the
New York Centrals connections in this
city and to make the proposed system
feeder" to the big trunk line rail-
road. So far as the Deutsche bank. of
Berlin, is concernede it is believed in
Wall street that 5that institution stands
in the capacityIof trustees for promi-
nent American interests who do not
care to have their identity disclosed at
the present time. Who they are is
matter of conjecture.
Morgan has been on intimate terms
with the German bank in connection
with Northern~Pac and other srail-
road enterprises. So also, have James
j. Hill and Edward Adams, Messrs.
Brice and Thomas, who are friendly to
Mr.. Hill, are known to have an eye on

ly, when they had departed and only
McCleary and Heatwole remained with
Stevens, the G o b e representative
asked: What is the political signitl-
canoe of this gatherings
Joel Heatwole replied, with great
dignity: This is a gathering of states
men to discuss the condition of the
weather. We have been discussing the
beauties of the Minnesota climate and
berating the malarial condition of this
climate. We have all agreed that our
home climate is the best in the world,
but that a congressman must be accus-
toned to living here in winter, in Or
der to enjoy the beauties of the pay
roll, and the honor of holding high
positions"
OF course that was not exactly true,
but it was Righteousness which is
natural to the journalist statesman.
Mr. Stevens said: 1--WE were merely
talking informally concerning our pros
poets for securing legislation Of inter
est to our people during this session.
Very little will be done beyond passing
the appropriation bills. That is our
conclusion. Try as hard as we may,
it is not likely that we can produce
satisfactory results, because there is a
general disposition in the house to get
through with pressing public business
and have an early adjournment. While
this disposition prevails, our people
ought to understand that they ought
not to expect impossibilities Of us

Subsequent legislation delayed the
enforcement of this decision, and on
January last Secretary of the Interior
Francis issued an order which he caus-
ed the agent of the five civilized tribes
to promulgate This order was to the
effect that the intruders remove from
without the limits of the Cherokee ma
ton by Feb. 6, 1897. Not single in
truder has removed. No attention has
been paid whatever to this order, other
than a reorganization of this maraud-
ing band has been perfected. These
whites defy the Cherokee nation and
hold in contempt the orders of the
government of the United States.
The statement that the white man
brings his capital into the Cherokee
Nation and invests it to the benefit
of the nation has no truth in it, eX-
cepting only in very few cases-just
enough to prove the contrary. Nine
ty-nine out of 100 who come into the
Cherokee Nation bring not a dollar
with them. They remain four or five
years and find what they cannot get
in the states from which they come
a good living and the chance to lay
up some money. What would these
same white men do if it were not for
the Indian country? Who or what
has caused their Wanderings and
drifting around in covered wagons
homeless and poverty-stricken? They
are your Tennesseeans, GeorgianS,
Carolinians, that the WORKOUT lands
of these states have set adrift, they
are pure Americans for generations
back who have been crowded west by
a more frugal and industrious immigra-
ton.
Our country afford them for a while
an asylum, a haven of rest in the
house of a Samaritan, and yet they
revolt ct the idea of an Indian land
lord This very disposition to con-
slider the Indian lower than the Amer
lean citizen is what makes the Indian
so tenacious of his lands and his sep
arate government. He breads the day
of an association with the whites
