THE VITAL ISSUE.

The foremost question with
CherOkees at this time is whether
the agreement ratified by the SEN
ate last Saturday will be aceepta-
bic to a majority of the voters OF
the tribe or not. Until a copy of
the printed treaty as it comes from
the conference committee is re-
ceived it is impossible to form an
intelligent opinion as to whether
it will be ratified by the Chero-
KEGS. There were three things in
this agreement 80 it passed the
lower house of congress at the last
session that are particularly dis
tasteful and either Of which would
be sufficient to defeat the measure
at the polls. The confscatiop OF
.he public buildings or the CherO-
kee nation, the clause relating to
mineral leases and the eighty acre
allotment proposed. If the treaty
is 5ubmitted to = popular vote OF
the Cherokees with these features
eliminated it would be ratified by
an overwhelming majority as was
the Muskogee agreement. The
burning issue with the Cherokees
now is to obtain a favorable set
tlement of all their business, and
to secure the individual allotment
Of the lands which are now held
in common.

HANDS OFF.

There is much in the attitude of
the congress of the United States
with references 10 the work of the
Dawes commission in the Indian
territory that Is highly digusting
to the intelligent individual who is
cOnYersant with the real conditions
here. That the task is a slow and
tedious one is admitted by all, but
it is vastly more complicated than
the average member of the house
or senate is able to conceive. The
same spirit Of impatience that
characterized, and called into ex-
istence the South McAlister state.
hood convention, is shared by con-
gressmen upacquainted with the
conditions. The idea prevails
throughout the states that there is
a vast domain of government land
to be opened here and that the
Dawes commission is in some
vague manner responsible for the
delay. To cripple the commits
sion now by Withholding the neces-
sarry appropriation would be
piece of folly objectionable. To
chide the members for the slow
ness of the work has the ear marks
of the boomer and not of the
statesman. II the work IS CON-
pleted within the next five years
the commission must have liberal
appropriations and be allowed to
proceed with the work unhindered
by the clamor of the impatient
political huckster who only wants
to lengthen the pie counter. Keep
hands off the Dawes commission
and the work will be completed in
due time.

The act of the Cherokee National
Council contracting with w. E.
Halsell, of this city, and NJ. l..
Turner, of Oklahoma City, for the
collection of the "a, 800, 600 due the
Cherokees, was vetoed by the pres
ident Saturday afternoon. This
action was due to the recOmmenda-
ton of the Secretary of the Inter-
ior, and we believe on misinforma-
ton with reference TO the status of
the claim. 1t is unfortunate that
the government officials at Wash
ington allow themselves to be
swayed by the most irresponsible
people that hang around the lob
bies there from this Territory, and
more especially from the Cherokee
Nation. It is, however, a notori-
Gus fact that persons wholly with
out standing at home can 60 to
Washington and get the ear of the
government officials, and thus him
der legislation and embarrass the
interests of the tribes. Halsell and
Turner are responsible, have been
selected by the Cherokee Council
to collect the claim, and they have
a right to go into the courts and
be heard on the merits of the claim.
Nobody denies the justice of the
Indebtedness, and the government
is in honor bound to pay It. Tho
question as TO whether 1t will be
paid to the emigrant Cherokees, or
to the whole tribe, does not enter
into the refusal of the president to
approve the act; in fact, it makes
no difference who is to receive it;
as under their contract the money
would be paid to whoever it waa
found to be due. The case will be
/ taken to the Court Of Claims at
once, and sooner or later it will be
paid.

THE ITALIAN NORWEGIAN.

The lot of an Italian workingman In
this country is at times hard one,
with more cause to complain of the
padrone system than the societies
formed to protect them are aware, says
the New York Evening Post. Last
winter gang of Italians were engaged
through a ped one, to work on Sec
ton railroad in the upper part OF the
state, in a region far from any town
and on the border of Upper lake. A
sharp, cold snap SIT in just after
the men were stated on the job. Be-
tween the cold and the loneliness the
gang became more and more demoraliz-
ed. The number of assertions grew
from day to day and the cold wealth
er kept up, till at last the remaining
workmen left in body one freezing
morning. The men worked their way
slowly and painfully back to New York
and arriving, OF course, without cent
applied Immediately to another pa
drone for a job. He promised them
just the work they were looking for
and ordered them to appear the next
day in the railroad yards at Eleventh
avenue and Thrift til street. There
they were put on car and shipped off
for an all-night trip to their unknown
destination. Next morning the first
one to wake had to scratch the frost
off the window pane to look out. The
car had stopped on siding and they
had evidently reached their journeys
end. A long stretch of ice-bound lake
lay in front of the window, with some
familiar shed-,ike huts along it's shore.
With a yell he turned to his compan-
ions: HE look!" he shouted, Sauna
da cid Tuppa lake-it!"

best not to seek human sympathy.
