SINISTER MOTIVES.
|, B. Bell Discusses the Oil
Lease Question,

Col. l.. b. Bell has given out the
following statement for publication
since his return from Washington
where he has been in the capacity
of a delegate negotiating the agree.
ment with the Dawes commission.
It will prove of interest to Chero.
KEGS, as it touches upon a feature
of the agreement that is causing
any amount of trouble:
"In 90 far as / was able to learn
from the members of the senate
there was no particular objection
to any part of the Cherokee agree.
ment in so far as 1t was understood
by them. The secretary's recon.
mendation for a change in sections
Ten and Eleven is about the only
opposition, if that can be called
opposition, to the ratification Of
the agreement. Just what the Sec
retary is aimingis hard to surmise.
He may be, and no doubt is, actu-
ated in so far as he is personally
concerned, by an earnest desire to
help the Indians, but to a locker
on there seems to be sinister pur-
pose in these recommendations.
The secretary had recommended a
paragraph in the treaty during the
making of it that provided for the
protection of leaseholds held in the
Cherokee nation, which was re-
ected and does not appear in the
treaty. Now these leaseholds are
generally believed to be in the pos
session and ownership OF the
Standard Oil Co., or some outside
syndicate. Failing in securing the
recommendation OF these lease
holds in the treaty by direct refer
ence, it looks as il the Standard
Oil Co. had worked its rabbit foot
on the secretary and proposes, by
circuitous route, to reach the
point they failed to reach by direct
route.
"While the secretary has no per-
sonal interest in this matter and
has, / believe, an earnest desire to
protect the Indians, he has been
misled and has not given the ques-
tion sufficient consideration to see
its reaching. No doubt he is un-
aware Of the Standard Oil Co.'s re-
lations to the so.called leases. He
being in Washington City, 1900
miles away from the country, II
would be impossible for him TO
give the subject consideration ss
the court would right here in the
country where il could call will
nesses aud take the testimony and |
know all about it. The leasehold
proposition was an allerlhought !

democracy to his club and fellow
democratic.
In order to accomplish this
work, respectfully request every
democratic club to elect at its next
meeting this precinct represent
ative and forward his name to me
without delay, properly certified
to by the president and secretary,
and will cause a commission to
issued to him by the democratic
national committee.
In my judgment. the clubs
should, in the event Of democratic
success, be allowed to nominate
the local officers to serve in Indian
Territory, and the associated
clubs should be authorized to
nominate the officers for the dis
tricts in which said officers are to
erve.
To makethese nominations en-
titled TO respect democratic clubs
should be organized In every post
office, and, at the convention at
Ardmore on June IL, 1900, a sys.
tenn adopted that shall ensure
such nomination being the actual
will Of the people, after reasonable
consideration of the claims of all
candidates. When very jealous
aspirants may take sudden advan-s
tage of clubs before other candi-
dates are considered, the value of
such endorsements are greatly di-
minished and the consideration in
which the organization is held is
apt to be impaired.
The democrats can and should
win the election Of 1900, and this
matter becomes of practical in,
terest. !
| shall be glad to forward the
forms for club organization to any
point where democrats are not al
ready organized, and have some
democratic literature | shall be
pleased to send to democrats send
ing me their addresses.
Yours cordially,
RoBT. l.. OWEN,
Muskogee, l. T.

in making the agreement. 1t was
not sprung on the Greeks who
made their agreement before the
Cherokees did, nor was it put in
the proposition Of the Dawes COM
mission to the Cherokees, but was
added afterwards, as the Dawes
commission informed US, at the in
stance Of the secretary of the inte-
rior. Taking this and that one
would naturally suppose there was
a niger in the woodpile. As to
what congress will do with the
treaty is conjectural on my part,
but from my observation and
conversation with men in charge
of the matter, and these were in
position to know, it appears that
the Cherokee treaty has ePsy sail
ing. The objections of the secre-
tary TO the Creek treaty are so
numerous and the changes so rad
ical that should congress amend
the treaty by making the changes
offered by the secretary, the defeat
of the treaty might result. A cir
cumstance which would be very
unfortunate for the Indian Terri.
tory. / don't believe that Chief
Porter would call the Creek coun-
Gil to consider a treaty so amend
ed. The refusal of the govern
ment to guarantee a title to the
land for the reasons given by the
secretary is unreasonable, for it
had guaranteed the same lands to
the Greek tribe and there should
be no reason why it should not
be guaranteed to the Greek indi-
vidual. Nothing having transpir-
ed since the patent was issued to
the Creeks to relieve the obliga-
tions of the government in the
original guarantee, to me it would
seem folly on the part Of the
Greeks to change a clear title for a
clouded title"

WILL BE RATIFIED /.

A full week has now elapsed
since the new Cherokee treaty was
promulgated, and the people Of
the Cherokee nation have put in
the time discussing and diges'ing
It. Under the intelligent and dis
cerning eye OF the Cherokee people
it's weaknesses have been brought
to the surface, snd its strong
features pointed oat Enough has
been said to indicate without any
sort Of mistake, that the treaty
will be promptly ratified as surely
as the voters Of the Cherokee
nation get a chance at the polls to
express their sentiments. There
are those who will oppose il;
most Of these people opposed il
before they had ever seen copy
uf H. The same men opposed the
old treaty, and would oppose any
and all such instruments that
could possibly be written. 1t is
noticeable, however, that the chiei
objections come from the Creek
country: from Wagner and Mus
kogee. 1t is easily understood
how and why these Creek towns
should oppose the Cherokee
treaty, aud why they should give
publicity to interviews with Chro-
KEGS who oppose il. The rat6-
cation of the Cherokee treaty
means that the Cherokee nation
will be placed Immediately in the
front rank of progress, ahead OF all
the other tribes, os their treaty is
the only one that provides for a
final and tangible settlement. II
our treaty is ratified, the towns oI
the Cherokee nation will of course
outstrip Wagner and Muskogeei
and other territory cities. The
reason then for the objection is
obvious and should only strength.

CHEROKEE AGREEMENT.
Curtis Measures Make Inn
portant Amendments.

Washington, April 23.-Repre-

troduced bills TO ratiiy the new

States and the Creek and the Cher
okee nations In the Indian Terri.
tory. Mr.. Curtis is a member Of
the subcommittee to which these
agreements were referred in the
house.
The bills introduced by him
would make such important and
sweeping changes in the treaties as
agreed upon, that it seems quite
probable that they will not be rat
fled by the two nations, If passed
by congress. The changes pro.
posed by Mr.. Curtis are given
herewith and the objections which
will be raised by the Indians are
pointed. The bill to ratify the
Cherokee agreement proposes
amendments es follows:
Section 2 omits the proviso that
"citizens holding lands in excess
of their share may remove the
buildings and fences prior to jan
uary / next" A provision is added
that any citizen having improve.
ments on lands in excess of what
he can take for himself and family
may sell or remove them by Janu-
airy next; and failing to do so he
should have lien upon the rents
of the land not taken by him until
the improvements put on the land
by him are paid for.
Section 4 is amended by n pro-
viso of great importance, namely,
"that the words Citizens of the
tribe as herein used shall include
all persons who have been found
by judgment Of court, or finding Of
special or regular masters in chan
Gerry, to be Cherokee Indians by
blood, and who were residents in
good faith in the Cherokee nation
on September 10, 1896, and all
other persons who may be held to
to be citizens under the law and
all such persons shall be enrolled" !"
This proviso would add to the
Cherokee rolls of citizenship 1900
persons, whose right thereto has
been rejected by the Dawes COM
mission and the United States
court, and whose decisions have
been affirmed by the United States
supreme court.
The significant words in this
provlso are; Findings of special
or regular masters in chancery to
be Cherokee Indians by blood and
who were residents in good faith
in the Cherokee nation September
10, 1896"

SO far as the ratification Of the
Greek treaty is concerned it is
certainly for the mutual advantage
Of the Cherokees that all these
treaties be ratified at once and as
speedily as possible. With the
Creek and Cherokee nations open
for settlement we would have an
era of prosperity that would make
this aection of the country the
center of attraction for some years
10 come.
