government TO observe its pledges
to the Indians. "The full -bloods," +"
said Mr.. Duncan, "do not and can
not conceive of the idea Of the
government breaking a solemn
pledge to them. They regard the
government as an individual, a
personality, and actuated by the
sentiments and emotions of an
individual. Here is an incident
illustrating the faith of our people
in the pledges of the government:
The first treaty with the Cherokees
was made in 1885, two years after
peace was concluded. The Chero-
KEGS had been the allies of Great
Britain, and the new government
sent Attorney General Meigs to
negotiate a treaty with our people.
They were assembled by the old
Chief Pathkiller. When the treaty
was concluded, the chief present
ed General MeIgs, as a pledge of
faith on the part OF the Cherokees,
a magnificent belt of wampum,
some four feet long, and six inches
wide. The belt was interlaced
with thongs of buckskin, strips Of
silk and tubes of coral. This belt
is now in the possession of the
descendants of General Meigs, who
resides in Washington. had the
good fortune to see and handle this
ancient relic of my people only a
few days ago."

One day last week as j. W.
Franklin working in some timber
in the Usage country, something
struck him on the boot leg with
sufficient force to cause consider
able pain. Upon looking for the
cause of the occurrence, he found
a large size bullet on the ground
near his feet. He does not know
where the ball came from, as he
heard no report of gun. A few
days later, as E.Gordon, near Ca
ney, was driving through the
Whiteturkey bottom, east of here
one of his mules suddenly stopped
and showed signs of distress. In a
few moments Mr.. Gordon dicover-
ed blood on the neckyoke of the
wagon, and upon investigating,
found the mule had been shot
squarely between the eyes, the
ball just penetrating the skin and
coming out near the corner of one
eye. Like Mr.. Franklin, Gordon
heard no gunshot, and it appears
that both of these shots must have
been fired at long range, or else
the party handling the gun was
using some kind Of nOiseless pow

THERE are many unpleasant in
dications that. after all, this In
dian country may fall into the
hands irrevocably of a lot of
shystering, cold blooded and ut
terly venal politicians. The
changes that must necessarily
come will necessarily place it
within the grasp of the Office hold
ing fraternity in both the political
parties, and what one party don't
get in the way of prey the other
will, until the entire field shall be
worked and reworked till not
even the gleanings will remain.
Of course the plain, common citi-
zen does not want, and will not
get recognition. but only the men
who have tasted the sweets of
Office in other fields, and therefore
do not know how to get a meal
save by some public service rem
dered by occupying time for the
government. The safe old rule
of the Survival of the fittest"
cannot apply here for some years
to come, as everything will be
appointive under the present
regime. 1t is noted that the minor
appointments now run very largely
to men who never did a great deal
for themselves in all the long, toll
some years of their lives, and now
are gratified and pleased with the
most meagre crum from any body's
table. What the end of all this
will be cannot even be guessed at.

In Webster's old "blue-back "
speller, used until a quarter of a
century ago to the exclusion of all
other spelling books in the schools,
was this terse truth that will bear
repetition: 'sOur farmers, me-
chanics and merchants compose
the strength of our nation. Let
them be wise and virtuous, end
watchful of their liberties. Let
them trust no man to legislate for
them if he lives in the habitual
violation of the laws of his
country" About the only sug-
gestion that could be offered to
this nugget of wisdom at this day
and date would be that no man
who does not know how to live
within the bounds of the law
should be placed in a position
where he is expected to enforce
the law upon others.

The subject Of redistrlcting of
the Indian Territory for political
purposes is exciting a good deal of
attention just now, and is being
discussed with a good deal of zeal
by the people of the Northern
district. 1t is a pity that this
matter, which is so badly needed
should not be attended to without
friction, but like a great many
other things, personal interests
are allowed to creep in and are
given the right-of-way, to the ex-
clusion of the public veal. We
take it that no public official
should have the temerity to make
a fight for or against any particu-
lar section, and that while he may
not be expected TO be hostile to
the interests of his own town, he
ought at least be broad enough to
see the interests of the whole
country in contra-distinction to
those of a few schemers whose sole
aim is to make money out of the
arrangement.

TEE senate Indian committee is
preparing to have change made
in the manner Of disbursing an
nuity funds, particularly to the
Osages. and will recommend that
each beneficiary be sent a check
direct from Washington. There are
two sides to this question, as an
unbiased investigation will show.
While the Indians are frequently
charged very high prices, the
traders lose a great deal of money
on collections, and furthermore
the practice of the government Of
distributing these trader licenses
as political patronage, places the
trader in a continuous uncertainty
and subjects him to no end of
assessments" Hence, in the
very nature of things he compelled
to exact liberal profit, and up to
date has not failed to be fairly
generous with himself.

EX.CHIEF BUSHYHEAD DEAD.

EX-CHIEF BUSHYHEAD DEAD.
The Cherokee nation, during the
century or more of its organized
existence. has produced many
men endowed with excellence OF
character and of native ability, and
who would rank with the best
product Of any country. The death
of Ex- Chief Dennis w. Bushyhead
last Friday noon at the capital OF
this nation, calls public attention
to the fact that another one of the
greatest Cherokees has passed on
to his eternal home. Mr.. Bushy-
head was a man of rich and varied
experience, both in his own
country and elsewhere, having
spent something like twenty years
in the west, on the Pacific slope.
He was half-blood Cherokee,
and had every characteristic of a
splendid specimen of the Ameri-
can Indian, who had availed him.
self of all the privileges and en-
bellishments of civilized life. For
the last quarter of a century the
most conspicuous figure about the
capitol, at Tahlequah, and by far
the most influential Cherokee
abroad, at Washington and else
where, has without doubt been
Mr.. Bushyhead.
He was born in the state of
Tennessee, and had he lived until
the 18th of March next would
have been seventy-two years old.
He came of good Cherokee stock.
His father was the Rev. Jesse
Bushyhead, a we'll known Baptist
divine, who, associated with Rev.
Evan Jones, translated the Bible
into the Cherokee language. Mr..
Bushyhead came to this nation in
1888 with his father and a detach-
ment of Cherokees from the old
nation, numbering about one
thousand souls, and settled at
Beattie's Prairie, in Delaware
district. He attended the mission
school at Park Hill under charge
of DIR, Samuel A. Worcester, and
afterwards attended q college in
New Jersey. He crossed the plains
to the gold fields OF California in
1S49, being one of the first who
undertook that extremely perilous
journey, and remained in Cali
fornia eighteen years. returning
to own country in the spring
of 1868, nearly thirty years
ago. He was treasurer of tie
Cherokee nation eight consecutive
years, from 1871 to 1879, when he
was elected principal chief. He
was reelected in 1888, and was
chief, in all, eight years. Mr..
Bushyhead has frequently been a
member of the Cherokee delega-
tions TO Washington, and has been
conspicuous as a commissioner on
the part of the Cherokees in var
ious land deals and treaties with
the United States government,
having last served as one of the
commissioners on the part of the
Cherokees to treat with the Dawes

JUDGE SPRINGER holds that de-
cisions of tribal courts hitherto
rendered are not necessarily final
but can be reviewed by the United
States courts of the Indian Terri
tory. The opinion is far-reaching
in its scope, and if taken advant-
age of, will be the cause of end
less litigation with reference to
many matters that have, so far as
the tribal courts are concerned,
been finally settled. Then any
case heretofore decided in the In
dian courts may be reopened, and
if found to have not been decided
according to the tribal laws, may
be reversed. Just how far back
this decision would reach We are
unable to state.

Many towns in the Indian Terri

Their wishes are being presented
by petetions, letter and otherwise.
As a rule their efforts are directed
in the wrong direction. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that the Indian
affairs committee has exclusive
jurisdiction of all matters pertain
ing TO the territory. This il not
true. The judiciary committee
passes on all court matters and to
this committee all matters relating
to courts should be directed.

courts are Sallisaw, Nowata, PO-
teau, Tulsa and Tishomingo. J.

Senator Jones has introduced
bill which contemplates a set
tlement by the court of claims
OF many complications and con-
tentions among the various tribes
and between them and the gov
eminent. 1t provides:-That the
Delawares in the Cherokee nation,
may, within sixty days after the
passage of the act, bring suit in
the court of claims, to determine
their rights to land and funds in
the Cherokee nation, under agree
ment of 1867. The Cherokee nation
may bring like suit against the
Delawares.
That white intermarried citizens
in the Cherokee, Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. may within
nintey days, bring suit in the
court of claims, to determine their
rights in the lands and funds of
the tribes into which they have
married. The several nations may
bring like suits against such citi-
Zens.
That all suits brought under pro-
visions of the act shall be advanc-
ed on the docket, and determined
as early as practicable, and that
the decision of the court of claims
shall be final.
The Chickasaw freedmen and the
Mississippi Choctaws are also per-
m;tted to bring similar suits.
The Indian delegates offer no
special objection but suggest that
the right of appeal ought be given
to the supreme court of the United
States.

In compliance with a clause in
the last appropriation bill the
Dawes commission has made a re-
port as to whether the Mississippi
ChOctaws are not entitled to all
the rights of Choctaw citizenship
except in the annuities. Their con-
clusiOns are that it is a matter to
be judicially determined and they
recommend its reference to the
court of claims.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1898-02-10

As intimated in former letters,
sentiment his materially changed
in the claimants favor. In what
ever is done on this line, the sem
ate will take the lead. Senator
Platt Friday reported an amend
ment to pending bill, as follows:
That all rejected citizenship
claimants may, within sixty days
after the passage OF the act, appeal
such cases to the court of appeals
of the Indian Territory. Before
such appeal shall be taken by any
applicant for citizenship, he shall
give bond sufficient, to cover all
rents on. or damages TO, property
of the tribe in which he may hold
such possessions, together with
all costs of the appeal, and the de-
cisiOn of said court of appeals shall
be final"
The claimants asked to go to the
supreme court of the United
States. 1t is very likely that this
amendment will become a law.
One thing influencing congress in
the matter is that uniformity may
be had In the final settlement of
these questions. Heretofore the
decisions of the several district
judges to whom appeals were TAX
en- from the Dawes commission
were not in harmony. The decis-
ion of the court of appeals compOs-
ed of the three judges will neces-
sarily be uniform. To meet this
probable move the Cherokee dele
CATION are preparing petition to
congress asking that the intruders
be removed from that country, by
an enforcement of the Intruder
clause" of the Strip agreement.
This is being prepared by Watt A.
Duncan, chairman of the Cherokee
delegation.
