While Chief Burlington is in
Washington would be a good time
to inform the Indian committees
and congress generally who are the
duly appointed agents of the Cher
okee Nation for the collection of
the 100000 claim. A simple
statement from the chief would do
much to lay the Bob Owen crowd
in the shade, and place Halsell
and Turner in their proper light
before the country. Judge Springer
is the duly appointed attorney for
the Cherokees, but is no more the
legal appointee than is Halsell
and Turner. This nation ought to
be protected against Owen & Co.

TURN THEM LOOSE.

The incarceration of Crazy
Snake and about forty Of his mis-.
guided followers in the Jail at Mus.
kogee has in 1t touch of pathos
that appeals to every one who has
a spark Of compunction at the gen.
eral treatment accorded the com.
mon Indian by the American gov
ernment. These Indian fullblocd
Greeks have done no more than
might in reason be expected. Their
understan ding of the treaties made
with the government is that their
tribal nationality would never be
disturbed without their consent,
and they are loath TO believe in
the bad faith of the great American
nation. To hunt these poor de-
luded red men down like wild
beasts and load them down with
chains in prison so foul and
crowded as to shame civilization,
and for crimes ignorantly commit
ted, indeed il committed at all,
is a travesiy upon justice that
finds a parallel no where in all
history since the days OF Jefireys
and the "Bloody Assizes" Of Eng.
land The part Of wisdom and of
humanity would be to turn them
loose and send them back to their
homes, after explaining to them
the error they have ignorantly
committed. These Indians must
not be treated as intelligent white
men would be treated, and such a
course should be condemned on
every hand. Their means Of
knowledge and their opportuni.
ties should be considered. Iithey
are convicted and sent aWay TO the
penitentiaries on the himsy
changes lodged against them, a
protest should 60 up from the press
of the Indian Territory that would
be heard throughout Christsndom.

THE TERM ENDED.
Federal Court Adjourned Yesterday
Afternoon Until Next May.

The federal court adjourned for
the term yesterday after.
noon. Judge Gill has dismissed
the jurors from further attendance
and, in doing so, took occasion to
thank them for the intelligent
manner in which they performed
their duties.
The officers of the court have
been courteous and painstaking
and the attorneys speak in high
praise Of the manner in which
their labors have been performed.
One attorney stated that it was
seldom, indeed, that a court was
fortunate enough to gather together
more uniformly courteous and
obliging set of officers.
A great deal Of work has been
accomplished during the term and
the mass Of legal business has
been pretty well cleared away.
There has been an average of three
cases a day disposed Of since the
civil docket was taken up and
Judge Gin has devoted great
deal Of time after and before court
hours to the disposition Of matters
that could be attended to in cham
hers.

Treaty Provisions.

Editor Chieftain:-lt now seems
that the day is near at hand when
the Cherokee men will be invited
to say whether the ll.Butlington
agreements satisfactory to them or
not; owing to the hereditary predju-
dices of our contemplate one-sided
civilization, Cherokee women,
though just as largely interested as
the men, are not allowed to have
any voice in the matter. The poor
widow will not be allowed to say
whether she is willing, or not, TO
divide the patrimony of herself
and her orphan children with min.
eral syndicates and townsite spec.
ulators.
The study of that portion Of the
agreement which relates to the
disposal Of town lots is specially
interesting as going to show how
ruthlessly the property rights of
the common Indians are pushed
aside to crafty the oblrusive greed
of city combinations
The utmost that was contempla.
ted in this direction by the Curtis
law, was simply to confer a right
of pre.emplion upon such Chero.
kee citizens as had acquired the
right of occupancy by actual
purchase by the nation, ana had
also erected valuable improve
ments upon the lots in question;
unimpfoved lots, though purchased
In the same manner from the ma
tion, were to be put up and sold at
public auction to the highest bid
der for the benefit Of the common
estate.
But this singular piece OF favor.
itism was not sufficient to satisfy
the desires Of the men who had
years ago so largely embarked in
the monopolization OF Indian town
property. How, under the Curtis
law, they might be able to save
to their own private use the un-
improved, along with their i'm.
proved lots, and upon the same
easy terms, came in this way to be
with them a matter of no inferior
Importance, The attempt, by
cheap, hasty Improvements, to
crowd them into the category Of
improved lots, though a good
scheme in the absence Of better,
could not be relied upon as an ab.
solule guarantee Of success in the
final outcome. Another and more
hopeful expedient was highly de.
II was assumed that assent on the |
part Of the Cherokee people would
go far toward inducing the govern.

ment to acoedo to almost any ar.
rangement in reference to these un-
occupied lots that the parties IN
terested might see fit to propose.
Hence, an agreement putting the
nation in accord with their own
desires presented itself as an OBJ.
ect TO be sought after with des.
perate earnestness. Accordingly
an expedient was adopted which
in former era OF Cherokee his
tory, had proved to be as danger
Gus as 1t was presumptuous. A
self-constituted commission was
organized under the leadership of
most persistent townslte monop.
olisi. This body, pretending to
represent the Cherokee people,
and ostenslbly to seek in their be.
half a paliation of the rigorous pro.
visions of the Curtis law, repaired
to Washington and, instead of
modifying the grip of the statute,
only enhanced the strength of its
hold with additional rivets. They
succeeded in arranging with the
Dawes men programme OF allot.
ment by which town lot sharks are
to be allowed all they have ever
asked in the premises and much
more.
The nineteenth section Of the
agreement is virtually but a trans.
script pro tanto, of the Curtis law,
with this additional provision: The
occupant, in addition to the title
OF the lot at hali.price, is to be re.
imbursGd, out Of the national
treasury, all that he ever paid to
the nation originally for his right
OF occupancy.
Again, the Curtis law holds un.
improved lots to be the common
property Of the nation; and, as we
have already said, they were to be
sold for the common benefit of the
Cherokee people; but our negotia.
ting commission, pretending to
oontrive a better thing for the
Cherokee people has agreed to al.
low the claimant a presumption
upon such lots, and to give him, as
an additional bounty, one.third of
their appraised value. Compare
section sixteen OF the Curtis act
with the twenty.frst section of the
agreemenD.
Again, the Curtis law allowed
pre- emplion IN town lots to nobody
but Cherokee citizens who had ac-
quired the right Of occupancy by
purchase from the nation, and had
erected valuable improvements
thereon; but our negotiating com.
pretending to mitigate
the rigor of the statute in behalf
Of the Cherokee people at large,
have agreed to confer this right OF
upon any citizen who
may be found in the occupancy Of
\ town lot without el'er having |
paid the nation anythirg & for II;
