States.p We deem Il safe, how
ever, TO assume that the United
States never granted homesteads
10 her private cilizsns, except out
of the "public lands Of the United
States;" and conversely, If such
grants are ever made. the lands
thus taken must necessarily be
long to the "public lands Of the
United States"
What now do we seer II has
been made apparent already that
the United States was the real
owner Of all the lands embraced in
the Cherokee domain; we also see
that, In the folios Of Legislation
shaping and framing the general
allotment plan, the United States
has asserted this ownership, has
taken possession OF the land in
question, and has been. and is now
dealing II out in tree homesteads
to her own private citizens. We
submit with decided confidence
whether there WAS ever a single
legal element affecting the public
lands Of Dakotah, which has been
homesteaded, that does not today
attach with equal force the lands
Of the Cherokee Nation.
The conclusion seems to be In.
evitable: the Indian title to these
Cherokee lands has been extin-
guished; they have become the
public lands OF the United States;
and the conditions of the charter
having been fulfilled, the title Of
the railroad is complete. That is
to say, II the act Of congress max.
ing the grant without the consent
Of the Cherokees is to be upheld
as fair constitutional law.
