The ..Unsettled Condition.

"Oh, the unsettled condition OF
affairs ere - We hear this com
plaint often nowadays in the
Cherokee nation. The ''unset-
sled condition of affairs" eh? Yes,
but from whom does it come? You
seldom hear a Cherokee say any,
t2ling about the unsettled c0ndi-
tzon." I mean a genuine Chero-
zee by blood and birth and who is
IN sympathy with the Cherokee
people and their laws, customs and
institutions. Some times you hear
&C from some of our North Caro-
EGua, Georgia or Texas Cherokees
BY birth. | heard one of these
Say a few days ago, ~ want my

selfish and ungrateful fellow to the
Cherokee nation was admitted

SOS, and he ought to have been
Eett out until he could learn a les
san of gratitude, at least

minerals, ETC.; some non-citizens
who are among us and want our
homes and land, and expect to
zwindle the Indian out OF it; from
the non-citizen press and some Of
the citizen press, like the above
mentioned Texas Cherokee"
and lastly, by good many (not
alD of the white adopted citizens.
These are the classes from whom
this cry Of unsettled condition"
comes. The genuine Cherokee is
perfectly calm and settled and
anly wants to be let alone. He
can build bis house, plant his
orchard and dig his well with ab.
solOte certainty that it will never
be taken away from him. The
above mentioned whitewsshed
Cherokees are to be partly ex-
eused, since they are more or less
directly interested. but the non-
s5tiEen and non-citizen newspn-
Rers have no right whatever to put
their CAB in, especially on this
treaty. That is a thing for The
cherokees to settle for themselves.
e involves their homes, their laws
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1901-04-11


The Chieftaln has little SYM
Rathy with the cry now being
raised that if the treaty is not rat
zfed we are brought face to face
with crisis, and that disaster
must follow such rejection. We
have had some anxieties about
the effect of the failure of the
9xeaty, but see no grounds for the
cry that the government will make
nor receive no more overtures
from these people. Such talk is
childish in the extreme. The
Cherokees are tenfold more inter-
essted in getting affairs here settled
ffnally than is the government.
It means vastly more to them
chan it does to anyone else. The
Cherokees have some rights with
reference to the distribution of
aheir common property that they
propose to protect to the best of
flieir ability. Too much has been
left to such INSCRIPTIONS dema
gogues as Curtis Of Kansas, aud it

past sixty years in this, their own
country.
1t makes me tired; yes, indig.
nant, to have some non. citizen tell
me had better vote for the treaty,
or the Curtis act will be enforced
on me. These very fellows helped
to have the Curtis act passed in
order to force or scare us into max
ing treaty. And they think the
Cherokees are a set OF fools and
don't know better. | beard a
drummer say in Chetopa recently: |
THAT land down in the territory
will be appraised cheap and
if a man buys up a lot of it,
all he will have to do will be
to sit down and get rich" This
made me boil over. The idea of
'appraising our land cheap"
our land patented in fee simple
so that he could buy it "cheap."
This is the reason they say FAN
omalous condition" They want
US to sign away our birthright-
that indestructible patent-so that
they can get our homes and coun-
try for song, as some of them
think.
My fellow.c citizens, we had better
let well enough alone. We are
sure of our homes now, even if the :
Curtis act is enforced. It can't !:

each of US on so acres, but con.

called upon to vote the change of
