DON'T REJECT TREATY.

The Cherokee treaty as it passed
the lower house Of congress last
Friday night, together with the
congressional record showing the
the discussion and amendments ID
received through the courtesy ol
Judge Springer. Most of the OBJ
jectionable features have been
eliminated, and taken as a whole
the treaty is a good one. The
lease section was retained for the
reason that had objections to it
been raised the point of no quorum
would have been raised and the
whole thing would have gone over
for the session. It is hoped the
lease section may be stricken out
by the senate, and ifit is the treaty
ought not be rejected by the Cher
okee people. The sentiment de-.
veloped against the ratification Of
the agreement in the Cherokee ma
tion recently should not be per-
sisted in. To reject the agreement
at this time will be little short Of
a public calamity to the Chero-
KEGS. The old cry of "stand pat"
upon the patent and the treaties
are a fools argument and will, if
persisted in prove the ultimate
ruin of the rank and file of the
Cherokee people. The only class
that can afford to "stand pat" are
the people who are in possession
of more than they are entitled to
hold OF the common property Of
the tribe. There will never be
better treaty made than the pres
Bnt one, even with all It's glaring
and it ought to be
ratified. The word that has been
passed out that the agreement
must be voted down, don't come
rom the friends Of the real Indian,
but rather from the monopolist.
The fullbloods are many Of them
opposed to 1t solely because Of
innate prejudice against change,
,ut intelligent white men and
mixed bloods oppose itfor selfish
'easons.

The attitude the government has
assumed with reference to the col

been such as to inspire confidence
among the people it is supposed to
benefit. Under their own laws
