Got There Too Quick For Him.

Capt. c. II. Taylor called a few
days since and related an Incident
which occurred up in his neighbor-
hood. One of the Cherokee officials
was on hand with an ostentatious
document about which he made more
commOtion than did Smith with his
Book of Mormon" but which was
really copy of letter written by or
to John VI. Taylor, Jr., the alleged
assistant U. ). district attorney, zap
pointed by Bill Fry.) The officer was
going TO collect permit tax whether or
no, but someone pulled out a copy of
The CHIEFTAIN, and after reading
what it had to say on the subject they
decided not to be "heId up" and the
man went away empty-handed. And

the people from some imposition, and

way-and 1t wants them. To our
knowledge, no man who was all right

j. W. McCrary Dead.

This community was saddened last
week by the intelligence thai
Rev. J. w. McCrary of Atlanta, Ca,
had passed over the river. Mr.. Nc
Crary was pastor of the Methodist
church in this city for several years at
different times, and few years ago
was one of the most familiar figures
on the streets Of our city. He always
seemed deeply interested in the well
fare of the people Of this territory and
watched the development of the
country with the keenest interest.
He was about 10 years Of age, and un-
til year or two had been in robust
health. \ few months ago in a let6
ter to this Office he stated that he wal
in i'll health and had spent sOme'
months in a hospital in Atlanta.
The death Of Rev. McCrary will be
sad news to great many people in
and around Vinita. While he may.
have been little eccentric in some
ways, no warmer hearted, nor more
enthusiastic christian gentleman ever
lived in Vinita. Peace to his ashes.

MISLEADING STATEMENTS.

The stories that are being seni
out from the territory to the effect
that great injustice has been done
the Indians by the abolition OF
their courts is misleading and
should not go unchsllenged. The
statement that congress did not
know how far-reachingthe act really
was, reflects upon the Dawes COM
mission and upon those members
of both houses of congress who are
thoroughly posted on territory
matters, and knew perfectly well
the effect such legislation would
have upon the tribes. The state
ment that the Indians are uniustly
cut off from the collection of their
revenues is misleading and false.
The tribal court expenses, that
under the present regime are saved
to the Indians, amounted TO ten
times more than all the revenue
turned in from home sources. The
statement that the Cherokee
schools are dependent on the home
revenues for existence is especially
misleading. The Cherokees have
an invested school fund held bv
the United States government up
on which they depend almost en-
tirely for the support of their
schools, and indeed if they depend |
upon their officers turning in that
which they do collect the schools
would most assuredly stop. The
repeal OF any portion of the act
tribal courts would be
a step backward and is too absurd
to think about. 1t is the expiring
cry of lot of Indian plunderers
who don't know how 10 get a liv-
ing since they are no longer allow
ed to collect and pocket the reve-
nues of the tribe. The common
Indian citizen is not raising any
howl about the abolition of Indian
courts; it is only the disgruntled
fIndian for revenue.

That Sunday School.

In the ''ltems from Woodley," few
weeks ago, the statement that Mr..
Cassell, the Sunday school man, or
ganized the first Sunday school at
Pheasant Hill, was mistake. A. n.
Chamberlin, with his family, moved to
Pheasant. Hill in the year of 1859 or 20.
Mrs. Chamberlin Immediately gather
ed up the children in the neighbor-
hood and organized Sunday school,
which she superintended with great
success for "a number of years. In
1871 Rev. III. Balentine and his family
came to Pheasant Hill, working under
the Presbyterian mission board, Mr..
Balentine organized the Pheasant Hill
church; he also preached at Vinita and
at Pawpaw: also, he taught public
school at Pheasant HILL Mrs. Balen-
tine-was sometimes superintendent of
the Sunday school. In 1871 Monroe
Keys with his family moved to Pleas
ant Hill: after Mrs. Balentine, Mr..
Keys was superintendent Of Sunday
school. 1t was in July, 1888, that Mr..
Cassel came and reorgalized the Sun
day school; he assisted the school in
getting more Bibles and Sunday school
books-a $40 library, for which we paid
so. OLD SETTLER.

MUST PANS HE CURTIS BILL.
Judge {. B. Stuart's Opinion as 10 the
Merits Of the Measure.

Judge Chas. B. Stuart, of this
city, returned from Washington
last Saturday evening. As he, in
common with other property own
ers here, is vitality interested in
territory legislation, and as he has
been in Washington during the
time of the sitting of the sub COM
mittee and with others given val
liable suggestions to the committee
his opinions, as given in following
interview, will be read with inter
est.
In answer to a half dozen ques-
tions fired at Mr.. Stuart, he said:
"Thetownsite feature of the Cur
It's bill, while not satisfactory in
all lis phases. and not what | should
have drawn had | been placed in
a position to do so, is yet one
which | think the people ought to
encourage congress to pass.
This feature of the bill as origin
ally reported by the committee on
Indian affairs was not at all salts
factory because it forced the people
in every community in the terrific.
ry to build a gigantic school fund
at the expense of their property
and their families, and fixed a val
uatiOn upon the lots unreasonable |
and practically confiscatory.
The bill as amended, providing
for purchase of the town sites and |
for sale of the lots TO occupants at
fifty per cent Of appraised price, at
first blush would indicate a large
speculation, and would seem to
give the town incorporation power
TO raise an immense fund for school
purposes; but when we remember
hat the tOwnsite is to be purchas-
ed from the Indians at a price to
be approved by the secretary ofthe
interior, there is little danger that
he subsequent price put upon it
BY the incorporation will be much
n excess OF that approved by the
secretary of the interior as lust {
me for the Indians. Besides, we
lave the matter in our own hands.

Resolutions Adopted by Republican

Be it resolved, in convention
assembled, by the R publican ex.
ecutive committe of the Cheroke ee

President Mckinley in his wise

Judge John r. Thomas for their
wise and efficient course in
all matters pertaining to the good
of our party and for securing for
the first time in the history of the
Cherokee nation, home rule, there
by making it possible to build up
and further the interests of the
Republican cause in our territory.
Be it further resolved, that we

up their organization and unite
themselves into a territorial league

league of Republican clubs.

Republicans should control some

Judge and one by the secretary OF
the interior. A majority of this
board controls. and their Judgment
is final.
Ii we cannot trust a man from
our own community. and a man
appointed by the United States
judge, who will without doubt be
friendly to the growth and pros
perlty OF the town, then it seems
to me we may as well abandon the
idea of sell,government in this
country.
The appraising board will, | am
sure, do fair, and the fifty per cent
valuation in the bill will not be
permitted by them, in my judg-
ment, to reach a figure which our
people cannot pay.
The bill gives four years in
which to make these payments,
and take the matter all in all
think the people had better accept
this feature.
Ii the Indians refuse to sell, the
government has at least made
declaration that we have equities
and rights here which ought to be
protected, and no subsequent con-
gress will rescind or modify that
If the Indians do sell, then we
get title TO our lots at a reasonable
price, to be fixed by our own peo-
pie, selected by us and our Judge.
The bill has stricken down many
private interests in this territory,
and will evidently be fought in the
courts. Its authors realize that
many things in the bill affecting
vested rights in this territory will |
not be be permitted to go unchal.
enged. All of these things, how
ever, may be remedied by the !
courts, and the townsite law will
itill be preserved in the bill.
Looking at the matter, therefore,
rom all sides, | am of the opinion
hat the people had better accept
his propo sition and encourage it
ather than have no townsite legis-
alton at all.-McAlester Capital
