PRIVATE SECRETARY"

The following is what the Columbia, s..
c., Daily State, of Jan. a. 1897, has to say
of 1.-THE Private Secretary which is
booked at the opera house for tonight.
The State says:
THE people who write plays don't
know how to get up anything that will
make more laughs to the minute than
1.-THE Private Secretary" and that's the
reason that nothing funnier has yet en-
tered into the mind of the playwright. 1t
is funny enough, and If were more so
those who saw it last night would likely
be laughing yet.
THE Private Secretary" drew a good
house. Every one knew what the play
was and knew that they would see one of
the best comedies ever written, and this
proved a sufficient incentive to fill the
theater Laughter is what the world
wants. and that is what it always gets
when in seeing and hearing distance or
"The Private Secretary"
The play is familiar to all theater-go-
ers, and any detailed "write-up" would
high-toned and charming comedy, and
one which gives an audience an opportu-
nifty to simply revel in laughter until the
risibles becomes weary and pine for rest.
The Trayers company, which presented
the play last night is made up OF most
admira Bile set of comedians, one no better
than the other, but all of the best. The
entire company is so competent that 1t
would be difficult to single out any. one
for special commentator, so the State
will not try 1t.
Everything about the rendition was ar
tistic to the greatest degree, and If there
has ever been better pleased assem-
blage to leave the opera house than that
of last night, the oldest habitue fails to
recall the time and occasion. The play
has been given in Columbia several times
before but the Travers company impart-
ed to it such life and vivacity that made
it seem not as an old friend, but like a
brand new one.

names which, when taken from
said roll, will doubtless leave il
below 4 800; hence l am of the
opinion that so far as numbers are
concerned the compromise will
prove a benefit to the Cherokee
people.
In conclusion l herein insert the
following, being copy of an affida-
Wit which explains itself and
should be conclusive evidence to
all minded people:
STATE OF Missouri,
City of St. Louis. 60
On this 3rd day of June,
A. d. 1897, personally appeared
berore me the undersigned, a no.
tary public within and for the city
of st. Louis, Robert H. Kern, who,
being duly sworn, states that he
was the attorney of record for the
Cherokee freedmen in the case of
Moses Whitmire, trustee of the
Cherokee freedmen, against the
Cherokee nation, ct al, in the
court of claims at Washington, D.
c., to recover certain per capita
moneys and settle the question of
citizenship of such people in the
Cherokee nation; that he received
his compensation therefor, and
that he at no time ever offered,
rendered or gave S. H. Mayes, of
the Cherokee nation, single dol
lar, or any amount whatever for
his services, influence, or any
other purpose.
Signed: ROBERT H. KERN.
Subscribed and sworn to before
me the day and year first above
written.
Signed: MARY E. FEEHAN,

City of St. Louis, Mo.
My term expires June 3rd, 1896.
Owing to the gravity OF the
charges and insinuations made, |
have deemed it advisable to make
this explanation, and l want to
say here and now that court the
fullest investigation, not only of
all my acts in connection with this
matter, but of any other of my
official tranactions.

COMPARE THE TWO STATEMENTS.

what had been previously agreed
to by the national council on De-
cember 7th, 1895.
As provided in said act, l also
agreed, together with the attorney
of the Cherokee nation and the
Cherokee delegation, that the ad-
ditional sum of 500, 900 should
be set aside for the purpose of
equalizing the per capita moneys
due said Cherokee freedmen. In
accordance with this agreement,
upon my return home from Wash
ington / called the national council
in extra session and submitted this
matter for their consideration, and
an act was passed and approved on
March 81, 1896, in accordance
with said compromise as above re-
ferred to.
Charges have been made that
various officers and citizens of the
Cherokee nation received part of
the fee paid by the treasurer to the
attorney for the freedmen. If
such is the case / don't know it;
nor do / know that a single cent
was ever paid out of said fee to a
citizen of the Cherokee nation.
want to say here and now that
any person who says, charges or
insiruates, directly or indirectly,
that ! was ever offered, rendered
or given a single cent for any ac-
ton or influence of mine with ref
erence to this freedmen comprom-
Use, is a base liar and the truth is
not in him.
AS before explained, l pledged
the people, in case l was honored
with an election to the position
which, with their sufferance, l now
hold, that there would be but one
citizenship in the Cherokee nation
So far as my efforts went.
The supreme court of the United
States, in the Shawnee and Della
ware cases, had already decided
that the Shawnees, Delawares and
freedmen were entitled to the same
rights as Cherokees by blood; in
line with this decision, the court
of claims on the Sth day of May,
1895, entered a like decree which
would doubtless have been affirmed
by the supreme court of the United
States, and it was therefore folly
for the Cherokee nation to further
fight this suit.
| did not give my consent to the
making OF a fraudulent roll and no
one had any idea when the COM
promise was entered into that |
anything other than an equitable |
census would be taken; and if
names have been enormously add |
ed to said roll it was not the fault |
of myself or the delegation because
we had no reason to anticipate |
that such would be done.
The Wallace Roll contains 3 ,524 |
names. This was taken for a roll |
of 1888, and if the Wallace Roll |
had been accepted and no COM
promise entered into, they and
their descendants unquestionably |
would have totalized a number of
not less than 5000. The present
roll contains, as l am informed.

thorizing E. C. Boudinot to com
promise the freedmen case, l coulC
not be true to myself and the peo
pie who had honored me with tn,
high position of Principal Chief o.
the Cherokee nation, if l had no
signed the same.
The attorney for the Cherokee
nation Immediately went to Wash
ington, and, in conjunction with
the attorneys for the freedmen,
filed the necessary papers in the
court of claims asking that a de.
cree be entered in accordance with
the act of the national council,
above referred to, and the letter Of
Robert 81. Kern, upon which said
act was based. Much delay fol-
lowed, and if | remember correct.
ly on the 9th day of January
1896, the court of claims refused
to enter a compromise decree as
jointly requested.
On the following day, the 2Sth
day of January, 1896, the attorney
for the freedmen proposed a com
promise reaching the same result
as had previously been authorized
by the national council. He pro-
posed to request and have the
court of claims to set aside the
Wallace Roll and that a census
should be taken of the Cherokee
freedmen by commission of three,
one to be appointed upon the rec
ommendation of the Cherokee ma
ton, a second upon the recon-
mendation of Moses Whitmire,
trustee of the Cherokee freedmen,
and the third upon the recon-
mendation of the court of claims;
the only difference being that the
court of claims should nominate
the third man on said commission
instead of the judge of the western
district of Arkansas. The decree,
is finally entered by the court of
claims, provided that the secretary
of the interior, instead of the court
of claims, should nominate and
appoint the third man.
Neither myself, Mr.. Boudinot,
nor any member of the Cherokee
delegation had any reason 20 be-
lieve that anything other than
fair, honest and equitable census
of the Cherokee freedmen would
be taken.
We, together with the Cherokee
people, were willing to accept the
roll of 1880, together with their
descendants. We were also will
ing that a non- partisan commission
of three should sit and pass upon
the testimony and decide whether
or not other Cherokee freedmen
not on the roll of 1880 were enti-
tied TO citizenship in the Cherokee
nation. If, by mistake or error,
anyone was left off, we were will
ing that they should be enrolled,
but we never did consent that any
one should be enormously placed
upon said roll. 1t is charged in
the public press that we did agree
to the same, but l want TO cali the
attention of the Cherokee people
to the fact that ] only agreed to
