closed my last article | was dwell
ling upon I supposed case, in brief;
Ilike th;s: "A colony of white peo-
ple had. under the provisions 81
the Curtis law, come into The
Cherokee country in 4 body, had
squatted upon . portion cf these
Indian lands around ana about
| lthe' premises Of 4 few old Indian
settlers, bad caused an ample
town site to be surveyed and laid
| loff into lots, and these lots dispos-
| ed Of according to the mode pre-
scribed BY the Curtis law; and
these Indian settlers had been
l'beatena out Of their homes and
driven off to scratch for i living III
other fields, provided they could
find any npon8the face Of earth ~
scratch ini niif not, however, then
to draw the drapery Of their couch
about them, and, in the paralysis
of starvation, dream off into the
elysium whittier ! benign civilixa-
tion has sent all the rest Of the red
men Of this continent.
That. however, was only an inn
aginary case, nothing indeed u
ssss;; and yet, at the same time, so
entirely feasible that, II it never
becomes reality, IT will be only
because the chances provided by
the law for despoiliDg these help
less Indians, are so grossly unjust
as to cause cupidity itself to revolt
and distain to avail itself of SO dis
honorable an opportunity.
But we may now trim the wings
ofimagination; we will come down
to the earth among men and deal
with facts; in order to do this,
however, to the best effect. II will
be necessary for usto have before
us a real case, an actual city to-
talk about. Let it BE- Vinita.
IF the owner Of such improve
ments on any lots, Y says thel
Curtis law, "fails to make deposit
Of the purchase money ~ afore-
said, then such lot may be sold in
the manner herein provided Tor
the sale Of unimproved lots.''
And in reference to unimproved |
lots, it provides as follows: !
All town lots not improved as
Aforesaid shall belong TO the tribe,
and shall be in like manner ap-
praised, ard after approval BY the
Secretary Of the Interior, and due
notice, sold to the highest bidder
at public auction BY said commits
sion.

at the practical working Of this
scheme. And in the first place,
