DON'T BE IMPATIENT.

There are from many sources
coming distinct murmerings at
the course of events connected
with the Cherokee administration;
aud The Chieflain has been urged
by some very excellent citizens to
lay bAie 10 the public some things
that are going on, that to the cas-
uaf observer are not quite right.
The attitude of the paper at the
present time is this-to help rath-
re than binder the WORK OF progress
and to uphold the hands Of the
chief and those with whom he has
seen fit to surround himself in the
admins ration Of affairs in these
closing years Of tribal existence.
Why certain appointments are
made, and why certain measures
are approved are not always APP
parent to the public mind, and
are frequently incapable OF ex-
PLANTATION. II would do no good
a, this time to cfipp,e the admin
is;ration by upbraiding il. How
ever, The Chiefiain can assure
the public that should occasion
demand, il will be fully equal Ia
the occasion, and there will be a
full aud faithful chronicle of every
thiag that comes within its CLINT
that could possibly he Of benefit TO
the public The present is crit
ical time in the history OF the
Cherokee people, but to unduly
suspicion public officials will not
advance their interests in the least.
The senate has passed the Okla
homa iBe homes bill. As the
house has already passed the
measure Il now awaits only The
presidents signature to become a
law The bill proyiaes for free
homesteads on public lands for
bona lide settlers, and provides
that the government shall remun-
crate Indian tribes for money due
them on Ianda patented 10 settlers
and pay any deficiency TO agri'

There are a great many asking
the cause Of the order from the
secretary Of the interior stopping
the Dawes commission from taking
the Cherokee census at this time.
Perhaps the most plausible rea-
son is that the Cherokee agreement
now pending aud very likely TO
pass congress provides for the
making of roll Of the Cherokees
as Of April /, 1900, whereas The
Curtis bill, under which the COM
mission would have to act were
they to make the roll at the pres
sent time, provides for altogether
different arrangements as to the
dates. 1t seems 10 be the policy
ofiheinterior department to make
the work final If IL can be done,
and when the treaty is ratified the
work can proceed. On the other
hand, il the treaty should fail of
ratification, either in Washington
or here at home. ;hen the Dawes
commission can proceed under
the Curtis act.
