Parry ORGANIZATION.

The INDEPENDENT is intensely in
terested, and it may claim to be
amused, at the primal attempt to
organize Republican party in Ho-
nolulu. The result appears to be,
on the surface at least, quarrels and
chickering's between the newspapers
advocating the present dominant
party. Whether the newspapers are
right and the party manoeuvrers are
wrong is question to be decided
when votes are recorded.

$1,000 month to the public treasury

Finds Several WeakPoints in
'GambiII's Argument.

EDIToR CHIEFTAIN:--Some time
ago ! read in the Daily Chieftain
WI. Gam5ill's original commen-
tary on the acts of thelOawes COM
mission; and, as it seemed TO me
to'be agitating question Of gen.
eral concern to the Cherokee peo-
pie, / then took it in mind TO say
few things in reply to his strict
ures; but time stole the purpose
away from me, and II neglected to
do so. Since that time, however,
he has continued, by means Of sup
Elementary comments, to push up
the agitation so bravely that it has
really seemed as if he were trying
to challenge all the intelligence of
the present day for the best it has
to offer counter to his bold and
multitudinous propositions.
Now, | have no knowledge what
ever as to the personality Of Mr..
iGambill, except what has come to
me through his communications
to the Chieftain. For this reason,
in offering this reply, | trust |
shall be secure against the ascrip-
tion of any other motive than sim
ply to see the truth sustained. AS
TO the Dawes commission-I am
not at all solicitous about the well
fare Of that honorable body; for by
virtue Of their exalted position, if
nothing else, they are well able to
take, without the least discomfort,
any amount Of lashiag that private
,pique might see fit to lay upon
them. 1t is only the Indian side
of this question that now con-
Germs me.
Mr.. GambilI complains that his
oase before the Dawes commission
went off in a summary way and
without the forrnalities of a judi
cial pprocseding. This complaint
is not sustained by anything like
sound reason. Mr.. Gambill had
n0 right to insist upon. or reason
to -aEpect, an application Of the
regular rules Of Judicial procedure
in the trial Of his case.
The Cherokee nation, no our In
dian economy, has no standing in
courts Of judicature of the United
States; il lies. and has always lain,
exclusively in the arbitrary hands
Of the executive branch Of the fed
eral government; its most sacred
tights have always been habitnally !
ieter@ined and disposed Of. by ex- 6
scutive, and not judicial. action. !
And, in this regard, the individual l
members Of an Indian tribe stand c
n the same legal predicament with $
he nation to which they belong. !
An individual Indian calling upon 0
he judicisay OF the United States Q
o maintaia him, or reinstate him, G
n his place within his tribe, is a
hing that has never been heard of b
n the history of this country. o
Mr.. Gamhill comes forward u
laiming to be an Indian; he must q
therefore,, to be consistent, consent

gracefully to whatever the arbi-
trary executive power of the gov
ernment may see fit to do with
him. His crying out about con-
stitutional guarantees, and his
vocIferOus squealing on occount Of
the rough treatment he has re-
ceived at the hands of the Dawes
commission show conclusively that
he has been bred white man;that
he is not a true Indian.
1t would be most obviously un-
fair, Mr.. GambilI, to allow you to
proceed against the Cherokee ma
tion GtotlieialLy while, at the same
time, the nation is hampered and
checkmated at every turn by the
arbitrary shortcuts so often met
with in executive administration.
IL was never the intention of the
government to give these claim.
ants "a strictly judicial hearing up
on the merits of their case. The
very act of claiming to be indians
put them practically in the cata-'
CORY of Indians, and as such they
were not regarded as entitled to
that high and delicate considera-
tion which, among white people, lis
usually accorded TO suitors in
regular court of judicature; hence
there was no court of that kind
provided for the trial OF these
cases.
The Dawes com mission was not
q court of judicature;it il was simply
an institution emanating from, and
acting under the control Of the ex-
ec0tive branch of the government.
1t differed from a court lot iiudica-
ture in being strictly tribunal of
practical common sense. A court
lf indicature is not tribunal of
sense, but of precedent. In forms
,f this kind, the best of Judges are
lot infrequently compelled, by the
yranny Of precedent, to give judg-
