The Purcell Registers antics
over statehood with Oklahoma re-
mind one OF the prophets of Baal
in the contest with Elijah on Car
mel. These false prophets cried
all day long for the fire to come
down from heaven to devour their
sacrifice, but no fire came. The
Register has rent its garments and
Iacerated its flesh, for the last
three years. and no prospect for
statehood yet. The little cloud
not larger than a mans hand has
been seen coming up from the sea,
and the beautiful and productive
Indian Territory will never be
tied on to the American desert.

The Cherokee national council
adjourned Monday evening, hav-
ing been in session less than two
weeks. A bill appropriating S.
300 for defending the nation against
the Delaware claim was about the
only measure of importance pass
ed. The council declined to pro-
vide for commission to treat with
the Dawes commission, in compli-
ance with the wishes of the chief.
The principal argument against
the proposition was that the In
dians would fare better at the
hands of the government than by
attempting to make an agreement.
A bill submitted to the senate pro-
viding for a commission was voted
down promptly. Those voting in
favor of the bill were J. g. Scrim-
sher, Joe NJ. Lahay, VIM. Vann.

THE LESSONS LEARNED.

The municipal election held here
Tuesday, being the first in the his
tory of the place in which all
qualified voters of the town were
enfranchised, is not without its
lessons TO the thoughtful citizen.
The voting strength of Vinita has
suddenly been more than doubled,
and the ballot has been placed in
the hands of every male citizen of
the town who has reached his ma
jority and has the other necessary
qualifications. II has developed in
the heated campaign just closed
that ,here is disposition among
certain class OF United States citi-
zens, mostly fthe transient order,
to Wrest from the property owners
and old-time residents the reins Of
government and to drive, like
Jehu the son of Nimshi, over the
rights OF the men who have invest
ed their money, and used their
influence and energy in making it
9 city of importance and placing il
upon a sound business, social and
moral basis.
The men who have led in The
fight against the ticket just elected,
with few notable exceptions, are
mrn who have never invested a
dollar in the town, and who, from
all outward appearance. are BOOM
ers and mountebanks seeking to
reap where they have not sowp
and to gather where they have
not strewn.
The one thing absolutely nec-
essary to be done now, and with
out delay, is for the men who have
made the town what il is, and
whose homes. are here, together
with the large and respectable non-
citizen element that has come
among us for professional, official
and business ends; to stand to-
gether in the government and gen.
ersI progress Of the town as against
the irresponsible, sccislistic and
revolutionary crowd that is clam
oring for a chance to take charge
Of it and to administer its govern
ment.

ally reckless provisions of the
Curtis Jaw. 1t is the method of
injustice, greed and oppression.
The latter, the Indians plan, was
that of adoption. 1t opened q
wide and very roseate door for the
ingress and naturalization ofexotics
from all the outside world without
the distinction of race or nation.
They not only received the stranger
with open arms, but shared their
inheritance with him, and gave
him choice Of their daughters to
make his life happy. Surely the
Cherokees cannot be reproached
with anything like petty selfish
ness, or Chinese seclusiveness.
Under this very pleasant and beau
tiful plan, the" opening up of the
Cherokee country to white settle
ment"has been, andi is today, WELL
nigh completed; and had sordid,
green-eyed, greed not broken the
halter and ruthlessly dashed into
this very natural, sweet and peace
full process of transmutation, it
would have been but a short time
until this territory question would
have been disposed of by the
action of its own internal elements
of self-solution; and all that, too,
in entire accord with the moral
sense of mankind, the sanctions of
religion, and the honor of the
guardian government.
We here leave this branch of the
subject with the reader to deter
mine at the bar of his own con-
science which would have been the
"better way" -
1t is my intention in my next to
examine into the specific pro-
visions of the Curtis law.

Tah,equah district, Monday of last
week and continued in session
till Thursday. Wolfe Coone was
nominated for principal chief, w.
A. Duncan assistant chief, VIM.
Thornton for circuit judge OF the
northern district and L. c. Lynch
for circuit judge of the middle
district. The attendance was
larger than at any political con-
vention in the Cherokee nation
in recent years, and the assembly
was largely made up of full-blood
Cherokees.

but they justify it on the grounds
that our conditions have changed;
that what was for our benefit fifty
years ago, when those treaties
were made, is not the best for our
people now, and the present dele
ton, l have been unofficially ad-
vised, in their argum ents before
congressional committees, refer
ence was not allowed to be made
to our treaties with the govern
ment OF the United States.
II is not now a question as to
whether the United States will
violate these solemn, and to Us,
sacred contracts. They have al
ready broken them, and it is
openly heralded that the legi sla-
ton of the past congress is only
the beginning. This is painful
news to our people, but it is my
duty as your chief executive to
from time to time advise you of
the condition of affa irs.
We are necessarily strongly at
tached particularly to our system
of holding lands in common, and
properly restricted to prevent
monopoly, 1t challenges the admi-
ration of the greatest thinkers Of
the world, but If we are certain
that a change is inevitable, my
Judgment dictates that it is the
part of wisdom to make effort to
assist in making the change in our
affairs.
In this connection ! desire to
call your attention to and submit
for your consideration, section 10
of this act of congress, which pro-
vides for the appointment of a
commission to locate and survey
townsites, AID the appraisement
of town lots. As yet no effort has
been made to enforce this pro-
vision, and no request been made
by the United States for the ap-
pointment of this commission.
This is question which should
be carefully considered and solved
equitably alike to the owner of
town lots and the Cherokee nation.
The Indian appropriation act
contains provision retaining the
United States commission, which
has all the authority it formerly
had to negotiate with us, and no
doubt if the people would indicate
desire to enter into negotiations
the commission would entertain a
proposition.
There are many provisions OF
the Curtis bill which by means of
an agreement could be modified or
eliminated The character of title
given could be changed; the time
when the change should take place;
the kind of government with du-
ties OF officers clearly de6ned,so as
to insure home rule as nearly as
tpossible; the method of collecting

The sentiment expressed by
many leading Cherokees to the ef-
feet that they had more confidence
in the fairness of the United States
treating them justly and rectifying
the deficiencies of the Curtis law
than in their own people, shows
that the Cherokees are still able
to maintain their reputation for
good sense.

The refusal of the joint commit
tee of the two houses of the ma
tlonal council to provide for a
commission to treat With the
Dawes commission on the grounds
that they distrusted their leaders,
and especially the men who would
most likely be appointed, was a
lust and severe rebuke TO Chief
Maves. 1t was doubtless done in
remembrance of the s400.0 900 steal
in the freedmen compromise.
