PARIS OPINION.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE news Of Gen. Cat
acres reverse made an immense impress
sion in Paris. Although the afternoon pa
pers predict the gravest consequences in
the disaffected portion of Cape Colony,
they cannot be accused of unseeming ex-
ultation over British misfortunes. Most
of the journals see in the defeat an ugly
trap laid by Beers, working in conjunc-
ton with Dutch traitors. The Journal
des Debats epitomizes the general opinion,
saying that Sir Alfred Miner has threat
ened in vain to overwhelm the disloyal
Dutch with the thunderbolts of British
wrath, and that even he today must re-
alize that race sympathy is stronger than
loyalty 1t sees in the attitude of the
Afrikanders the inevitable result of a
struggle for supremacy between Dutch
and British in South Africa. The Temps
says:
"The story of ambush from Stormberg
reads like chapter from Cooper's The
Spy The situation resembles that of
the American war of independence, when
the colonists devoted themselves to de-
ceiving, misleading and ambushing the
British generals for love of their coun-
try, and with the assent of Washington -

The WHY Finding,

The past week has been one of
unusual interest to the territory.
The Indian appropriation bill has
been reported to congress con-
tanning about the same appropria-
tions mentioned in my former
letters. A number of amendments
have been offered among them
being one from Senator Morgan
authorizing and directing the
secretary of treasury to place to
the credit of the Cherokees the
award made to said Indians pur-
suant to the treaty entered into
with them by the United States in
the year 1892, in the purchase by
federal government of the Chero-
kee Strip, the said award having
been duly reported by James H.
Slade and Joseph T. Bender,
accounting agents on the part of
United States, in an itemized
report dated April 2S, 1894,
amounting to s1,133, ,S41.9S with
interest at 5 per cent per annum to
be computedon each item embraced
in the said repor: from the date
given in said report as the date
on which item became due to
said Cherokees, and the said
secretary of the treasury is hereby
directed to compute said interest
on said items on the date of each
up to date of entering the said
credit to said Indians, and the
total sum so credited shall bear
interest thereafter at the rate of 5
per cent; five per cent of the
principal and interest is to be
given to the attorneys who were
by the Cherokee coun-
Gil to collect the award, and
sum of money is hereby
out of any money
in the treasury not otherwise APP
propriated, to pay said sum to
said attorneys. Washington Cor

THE AGREEM ENTS
Unwarranted Discrimination
Between Citizens.


assigned by the various mouth,
pieces of the government, and
especially the Dawes commission
ers, for pushing up political re.
form upon this territory has been,
all the time, the alleged fact that
the mixed bloods were monopoliz-
ing the common estate and rob-
bing the fullbloods of their fair
portion of the property.
Now see how it goes.
A delegation of seven men were
selected to meet the Dawes COM
mission and concert with them a
plan for the suppression of this
evil. Five of these delegates were
ed-bloods and belonged to the
monopoly class; only two were
full -bloods-of the very class
whom the Dawes commission had
interposed to save from robbery
and oppression. This, it is worthy
of notice, is very different com.
position from that of the first COM
mission; in that, the fullbloods had
representation Of sufficient num-
bers to make their opinions and
wishes somewhat appreciable.
They refused to treat; and, as a
result, there was no treaty made.
Now why has this been thus?
Was it only an accident that only
two fullbloods happened to get
places on this second commission;
or did it result from the fact that
the executive, profting by past ex-
perience, made it point in his
nominations to give the recusant
fullbloods a representation on this
commission sufficient merely to
bind them technically by whatever
the treaty making mixed. bloods
might see fit to DO, and denying
them, at the same time, the favor
OF any power to obstruct the action
of the majority, or do anything to
save their fullblood people from
what they might deem to be
great wrong? We here only ask
a question; let the reader answer
it to his notion.
But the strangest part of the
whole transaction is this: the
Dawes men, acting avowedly from
the impulses of benevolence for
the fullbloods, join hands with this
mixed. blood majority, the same
fellows whom they had been ac-
cusing of wronging the fullbloods,
and adopt a measure which, as we
have already shown in previous
article, skins the fullbloods to the
bone-much deeper than they had
ever been by the mixed-blood
monopolist, ere the charity of the
Dawes men had come to their re-
lief. "Oh! consistency :" but
let Shakespeare finish it.
Saugee and Wolf Coon, in de.
clining to become parties to the
agreement, may have done what
mercenary men might call impru-
dent, but, after all, it was the only
honorable thing fort hem to do. In
politics, it is generally imprudent
to becandid and honorable.
But the contract does not grade |
all the land designed to be allotted; |
that is, it is not priced arbitrarily |
and absurdly. There is a belt ly-

very naturally arise. Why was it
necessary that these towns should
be railroad towns? Was it in or
der that my esteemed friend, Hon.
R. B. Ross, might be enabled to
get the fee simple to his splendid
estate lying there joining the city
of Tahlequah at the low price of
s5 per acre while its real intrinsic
value upon a fair appraisement
would be nothing less than s25
per acre? Why was it to be $500
inhabitants" instead of 500 Chero-
KEGS? Was it because our honor
able Cherokee commissioners were
aiming to take advantage of the
presence and influence of foreign
population in order to consumate
some petty scheme of public policy
at the expense of such of their
fellow countrymen as might hap
pen to be found dwelling in long
established and comfortable homes
around and about such towns as
Vinita? 1t is not certain that there
are 500 native Cherokees living in
the great city Of Vinita. In word,
why should there be any different
scheme of valuation adopted be-
tween lands lying within one mile
and ten miles respectively from
the city? Could it be simply be-
cause our honorable commission
ers, whose great farms lie out be-
yond two miles from any one of
these fatal towns, might, in the
end prove able to secure title
to their estates at the nominal
price of So, while those who live
near the towns should be required
to pay s25 per acre. The mean
ness Of this scheme is by no means
paliated by the fact, that money
extorted in this way from these
circum- city inhabitants is to 90
into a common fund, which, in
time, is to be a per-capita in which |
these same commissioners, after
already bleeding the national es-
tate at the rate of, at least, $40 an
acre on their allotment, are con.
fdently epecting to participate.
Any scheme or the distribution
of common estate among the
heirs which requires one of the
rightful participants to pay money
as a condition precedent to his
getting his just share of the prop
erty, is unreasonable, unjust and
exceedingly dishonorable. The
case here sprung upon us by this
disgraceiul agreement, sufficiently
illustrates the force and truth of
what we have here said. Many of
these people who are living within
this two mile limit, settled here in
good faith, long before these cities
were of sufficient importance,
either present or prospective, to
constitute an inducement. All
they have in the world is invested
in these homes. The cities have
come, and grown up under their
nurture. Now these commissioners
come forward, and say to these
people, "Here, we are going to
mark off for you just 120 acres, and
we are going to charge you s25 per
acre for it, and give you credit for
s6 per acre; and if you don't now
pay US s19 per acre out of your
own hard earnings, that is s2,280,
We will drive you out of your
homes in sixty days, and turn you
,ut to live, like Behshazer, on
grass wherever you can find it."
Many of these people are of limit

Any Cherokee ought to be able
to figure out by the rules OF
simple arithmetic whether it be
to his interest to vote for, or
against, the treaty. He has the
choice of taking a surface allot-
ment under the Curtis bill to 80
acres, or of taking 100 acres in fee
simple under the treaty. If any
man would rather have the
promise of so acres, than an out
and out title to 100 acres he should
vote against the agreement. 1t
is an exceedingly simple pro-
position.
