HING GOES YOUR PRICE

idct that under the Mayes admin
istration things have gone rad
ically wrong. A large and shame
ful steal has been made which is
indirectly chargaDle to the admin
istration.
There was a mighty falling oil
in the total vote cast. Numbers
of voters stayed at home and did
not go near the polls, for the sim.
pie reason that they are disgusted
and disheartened, and feel that it
would be absolutely useless to at
tempt to get good men in Office in
the Cherokee nation. The saddest
feature of the whole performance
is that such an ignominious end
ing should be in store for the
Cherokee government. Love Of
money and an inordinate desire
for political power has been the
ruin of bigger governments than
ours.

ENROLMENT OF CITIZENS.
A New Circular From the Commission
Making Important Changes.

The Dawes commission has is
sued a new circular in lieu Of the
one issued June 2S, 1897. It is
more explicit, and in some lmpor-
tant details entirely different from
the fret one. The new section
complete is as follows:
All persons who have intermar-
ried with citizens by. blood, and
al! children whose names are not
on any roll of the nation, born to

enrolment, furnishing evidence,

cate certified by notary, or other

children born Of such marriage,
and should serve copies OF applica.
tiOn and evidence on the chief of
the tribe, and file with application
evidence Of such service, and the
chiel may within thirty days from
such service file answer and evi.
dence in support of same.
Those whose names are already
on any roll Of the nation need not
make any such application.
Persons who have intermarried
with Creek citizens, or with Choc.
taw or Cherokee Freedmen, are
not thereby entitled to citizenship.
Instead Of making application
as above required, citizens Of the
Cherokee nation may have their
children registered in the clerks
Office OF their district, as provided
by Act OF tie National Council
approved July %, 1897, and such
registration will be furnished tc
the commission by the chief ant
will be sufficient,
The commission Is instructed e

freedmen, placing thereon suct
names as appear on all forme
rolls, of whose identity and au
thenticity II has no doubt, ans
elch other persons as il is satisfie,
should be enrolled.
No application Of anyone VIII,
is not on the rolls, except descen
dants Of persons already enrolled
and intermarried persons, as abov,
stated, will be received or filed bl
the commission.
The postoffice address and plac,
Of residence Of applicants shoult
in each case be plainly written il
face Of application, ami on back O
same. All papers in each cae'
should be securely fastened to

The treatment received by the
Cherokee commission at the extra
session could hardly be called an
endorsement of the commissions 5
work; for, after considering q
measure for abolishing the com
mission entirely, il was continued
with the pr so that its members
were to be compensated only for
time the commission should be in
session. Let il not be said the
special session of council was
without result, when it curtailed
the large salary Of the Cherokee
commission in such a wholesom e
fashion. Arrow.

GENERAL NEWS AND NOTES.

The rear car and the caboose on
the local coming ives: jumped the
track this side OF Vinila Thursday
aud was overturned down the en-
bankment. Mr.. A. G.. Barhydt, Of
our town, was one OF the passen-

Frank Virgins, the II year old
son OF H.-Wiggins, a white renter
living near here, committed suicide
last Sunday evening by blowing
his own brains out with a pistol.
The boy had bsen asked to 60 for
a bucket Of water, and because he
was tardy in doing so his father
took the bucket from the boy and
after chaslising him went for the
water himself. The boy walked
deliberately back to the house,
took down 0 six-shooler and blew
his brains out, placing the muzzle
of the pistol in his mouth.

The Delawares purchased and
paid for over three quarters of a
million acres of land from the
Cherokees, and any reputation OF
that claim would be a robbery Of
the Delawares that would never be
sanctioned by our government.
THE above from the Miami
Herald is a bit of very startling
news. We are pretty familiar
with the treaties and agreements
made by and with the Cherokees,
but we have utterly failei thus far
to locate the fi-le or place the Della
warc5 made this great purchase.
Perhaps our esteemed contempo-
rary can enlighten us.

ITS DAYS SEEM NUMBERED.

Last Monday was the day Of the
general election in the Cherokee
nation, and it was very tame af-
fair compared with other elections.
Il mas been said at home and
abroad, that the Cherokee people
are the most enthusiastic polite
ians, and conduct the "red-hottest"
and most stubbornly contested
elections Of any people on the
American continent. This has
been true in the past, but condi.
tions have changed and the political
spirit Of the Cherokees is broken
and they are sinking into a state
Of "innoceuous dessuetude" from
which, as a nation, they never will
recover. The masses of Cherokee
citizens are honest, plain people,
and have been true and loyal to
their tottering little government;
but the system has bred a horde
of demagogues and sharpers in the
shape of Office seekers, who in late
years have developed into out and
out public plunderers and corrup.
tionists, who have ground out the
spirit and national existence of as
brave a little people as were ever
organized into a government. The
mailed hand Of the Sluarts bore
not harder upon the serfs of Eng
land in the middle ages than have
the thieying class of Cherokee
officials upon the conhding citizens
OF this once happy little govern
ment. And now in the national
convulsions which seem to be
impending, these same men are
straining every nerve to reduce
their own blood to a state Of
vassalage that they themselves may
figure in the final collapse, and
have access to the spoils. A few
generations have sufiiced TO blend
the hostile blood of the Indian and
Anglo-Saxon races into one com
mon nationality, and while the
one race may not feel the elation
Of triumph, the fullblood Indian
still feels and groans under the
consequences Of defeat and subju-
cation.
The new national council elected
Monday can do nothing to save
the Indian government from
extinction. The people have giver
up hope Of continuance for any
very great length Of time, anC
indeed conditions are tuch that il
is not desirable to continue tht
farcical arrangement that no longeI
answers as make-shlit. Ate
the lrst Of next January there viii
be little use for council, or fo
much Of the other machinery 0
government, and the election 0
Monday was largely for the plac
ing Of men 10 positions where the!
may draw salaries for the next tw'
years for service that they will no
be required to render. The Indial
government is simply being super
ceded by the government Of th
United States and the former ma,
as we'll be abandoned and save tbr
expense Of maintaining it.

TIE Indian Territory Press
Association holds its annual con-
vention at Atoka next Friday and
Saturday, and at its close the
members will 60 on an excursion
to Nashville. The indications are
ihet the attendance will be good
and the fact that ten of the persons
assigned places on the program
have forwarded their acceptances
indicates a lively interest. Every
bonafide newpaper man in the
Indian Territory should attend
and be prepared to take an active
part in the proceedings. Atoka
has arranged to make the visit
pleasant and the same is true Of
the exposition authorities at
Nashville. The railroads, too,
have lent their cooperation on
the positive assurance that there
should be no "barnacles" on the
trip and that tickets should be used
for the purpose for which issued
and no other.

II seems that the freedmen are
never to get through being "held
up" SO long as they have any
money due them. They are getting
s53.75 a head at the payment now
being conducted by Treasurer Lipe,
but when one Of them presents
himself for payment he is asked by
the treasurer: "Do you owe Milton
Turner anything?" If the answer
is in the negative he is told 10 60
out and settle with Mr.. Turner in
some way and then come back
II the answer is in the affirmative
says that he owes Turner-he is
then asked if be intends to pay
him; il he answers that he does
he is paid his money. The pay
ment,is being made in cash, and il
addition to the ten dollars collected
by Turner, Robt. II. Kern is
present and claiming, and gener
ally collecting, fee Of five dollar
for some future service that he il
going TO render the freedmen.
