THEIR DAY IN COURT,
Claimant Cases Appealed to
the ''Thlrd House,"

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN: Mr.. M. M.
Edmiston, in communication to
Mr.. D. l. Elliott, of Pryor Greek,
has this to say in reference to
matter Of general interest to the
Cherokee people:
81 am fully aware that the In
dians can secure desirable legisla-
ton if they seek it properly; but
they will never succeed with a
fight on their hands, and they
have been so advised. They will
profit by this and secure townsite,
mineral, and other legislation so
much needed. The claimants
have demonstrated the fact that
they can defeat measures, if not
successful in their own. The cit
izen is being educated as to our
strength, and the white Indian,
who does not acknowledge it, is
not taken into the councils. 1t
was conceded that we were in the
fight when Senator Stewart, ct al.
was heard from during the closing
days Of the last session Of con-
gress.'
It's not our intention here to
enter into a discussion with Mr..
Edmiston in reference to the legal
merits of his clients claims. The
day for discussion of that kind has
passed; the question of law and
right, as far as his ease is con-
cerned, has been finally settled.
Mr.. Edmiston and his clients
have already had their day in
court. The only tribunal known
to the constitution having the jur-
isdiction to try and determine
legal and equitable issues between
man and man, has heard their
case, and its decision was against
\ them. They claimed that they
were Cherokee Indians and en-
titled to the rights of Cherokee cit
izenship; but when put TO the test,
they were unable to make good
their pretentions. Hence they
had to abandon the chase, and
leave the judicial woods without
carrying any game with them.
But Mr.. Edmiston and his eli
ents were not willing to abide by
the decision Of a court of justice;
justice was not what they were af-
y
ter. They we're not seeking re-
dress for wrong which they had
suffered, but TO make substantial
conquest; that is to say they were
wanting to capture an allotment
out of the Cherokee domain. For
the purpose of speculation and
gaming, however, they found the
court of judicature to be ponder
Gus, clumsy, uuwieldly thing. Its
methods were all running in long
established and uEvarying grooves.
The officers of the court were all
absolutely inapproachable. 1t
would not do to attempt any thing
like trifing with the judge; and
the playing of the agreeable"
with a juror was strictly prohibit
ed. Indeed Mr.. Edmiston and his
clients we're shut absolutely out Of
the chase, excepting the poor lit
tie privilege Of furnishing the evil
dence; the balance Of the judicial
job was done by the court. There
was no place at all for lobby work,
that is, for the play Of those ex-
ternal influences whose object it is
to corrupt and pervert the chan
nels Of justice.
Of course, in a court Of this kind

A new forum is indispensable.
Hence they turn their backs upon,
and leave, the Judicial, and lug
their case into the legislative
branch of the government; that
branch whose constitutional busl-
ness is simply to make laws, and
not to adjudge the rights OF prop
ertv between man and man. 1t is
true, congress has no constitutions
al right, or power, to entertain
their complaint, or to legislate up
on the question. To do SO would
be an open usurpation Of the judi
| Hcial function by the legislature.
Nevertheless, if what Mr.. Edmis-
ton says is true, congress has al
ready assumed jurisdiction OF his
case, and he has actually had
somewhat of a hearing; he has
been able, through the help of SEN
ator "Stewart ct al, T" to stave off
any benign legislation for the ben
eft of the Cherokees, because OF
their refusal to admit his clients
to Cherokee citizenship, and he
feels confident that the Indians are
being so educated as to the
strength Of his crowd that they will
ere long despair Of any further re-
sistence and unconditionaIly ac-
cede to his wishes.
But Mr.. Edmiston and his eli
ents are now before tribunal OF
their own best liking. From their
standpoint, their issue is now no
more question Of law demanding
trial, but big flight" in which
the decision is to 60 to the side
which can develop the greatest
strength" yes fight OF a po-
litical nature in which the judg-
ment is to be shaped by a popular
vote. But it is well known how
votes are made in congress. A
congressman is by no means inap-
proachable. His proverbial ap-
proachability is what has given
rise to the third house known as
the lobby,an institution whose bus
mess it is to manipulate congress
sional suffrages. Now if Mr.. Ed
mission can manage, through the
mercenary services OF this third
house, to get a majority Of con-
gressional votes in favor of his
claim, his contemplated robbery
upon the Cherokees will be con-
summated.
The principle underlying Mr..
Edmiston's method Of procedure
is most anomalous, not to say
abominable. Suppose Mr.. Carna-
gle should sue Mr.. Rockefeller for
one million collars; and suppose
Mr.. Carnagie is beaten in all the
courts of judicature in the country
including the supreme court of the
United States, and suppose, as a
last resort, he should 60 to con-
gress and, b. the help Of some
powerful lobby. induce that body
to pass a law ordaining that Mr..
Rockefeller shall turn over to him
that same one million dollars; and
ia default OF Mr.. Rockefeller's
compliance with the Legislative
mandate, the U. S marshal should
be authorized and required to go
AID blow open his big safe and
take the money and hand it to
Mr.. Carnagie-the same million
dollars which al The courts in the
land had said be was not entitled
to. What. in such a case, do you
imagine would be the general out
