Mr. Bushyhead is eternally falling into somebody' trap. Last Friday he was seduced into going out to dinner with a'gentle- man and was delayed until com pelled to run for the train.

Congressman Peters, of Kansas, has written a letter to the editor of his homo paper declining to be again considered as a candidate for the office he now holds, in which he says: "The reasons for this course are well embraced in the short sentence, 'I can not afford it.'

Until last year I had sufficie nt in come from law business to meet the de6ciency; but since then this income has ceased.

OUR SPECIAL, WASHINGTON LETTER. Measures Before the Territorial Committee Cherokee Interests. of the United States such persons of the tribes as are less ihan half Indian ; to surrender to the courts of the several civilised tribes, for adjudication, all civil suits that may arise between adopted white, and native citiiens; to exempt from judgments for debts, rendered by the Muskogee court, improvements of every kind, except tenements, shops, manufactures, machinery, etc., of individuals or corporations ho have secured coal mines or other franchises in the Indian Ter ritory. Mr. Springer handed me, as tie committee broke up lo-uay, an amendment he proposed himself to his bill, with the request that I examine it, and if not satisfactory to suggest something myself. The amendment is to suunm aw claims for citizenship to the dis trict courts of the nation for adju- icatlon with the right of appeal to the court at Muskogee or to the supreme court of the territory in case one is established. We have t now under advisement but it is too hard a paper to endorse, unless amended that all cases here tofore tried and determined by our courts shall be considered final, and that the decisions in such cases shall be conclusive evidence of such trial, should a rehearing of be attempted. We nuvia could not afford to accede to a pos sibility that all the cases of re jected claims to Cherokee citisen- ship shall have a chance 10 ue re- onened. If this manner ol deierm ninasuch claims is auopiea, as Mr. Springer asserts, those wno fail to establish Cherokee rights can be removed by the U. 8. mar shals as intruders, from the coun trr. . .mm Mr. Speed, of the I airchild com mission, had the floor to-day dur ing, the session of the committee, He certainly is a very modest man, considering his aspirations for the governorship of Oklahoma when it becomes an organized territory He objects seriously to the estab- ishment of an eastern boundary line that will not make Guthiie the central town of the territory, or that will lessen territorial di- mensions. The bill proposes to nut the boundary line between Cklahom.fand the Indian Tern lory at the 97th meridian or at the Indian meridian, which is twelve or fourteen miles west of tho 97th He feels for himself like Forney iWh Serietarv Blaine who occu f - pies a place vastly too small fo the full exercise of his entity or of his great statesmanship. Respectfully, J. L. Adair i WAnixeT, D. C . Jaa. IS. lffa. Editor Chieftain: I have just returned from the house com mittee on territories, which is just now the center of interest to the Indians of the Indian Territory. For several days there has been under coasideration by this com mittee, Springer's revised bill to organize a temporary government for Oklahorrfti, and for the organi zation of the five civilized and oth er minor tribes into a territory to be called the Indian Territory. The latter organization is simply for judicial purpose; the former for w hat it speaks. In the organi zation of Oklahoma we can have no interest further than to oppose any invasion of our right. The gentlemen of the committee, up to date, show no cerieoe di position to disregard our wants or doubt our lerresenUtiona. We hare made many eleminiile or to modify the objec tional provisions of the bill, nota- FOBAO. 8. COURT. Congress Memorialised to Erect a Court as Per Treaty. Memorial of the Cherokee citi- . f i icns and other persons resioing and permanently living in Dela- ware and Cooweescoowee districts, Cherokee nation, Indian Territory, to tho fifty-first congress, praying for a United States court to be created and located at inita, Indian Territory: To the Honorable, U. S. Senaton and Htmbert of the Houne of Rep reuntalxtet of the V. S. of Ameri ca in Congre$$ at$emblcd : The undersigned memorialists respectfully represent and state : That they reside and live and are permanently located on lands, are property holders and owners, are Cherokee citizens by blood and by adoption, and are United States citizens, in Delaware and Coowees coowce districts, Cherokee nation. That some are by occupation mer chants, traders, farmers, lawyers, minihters of the gospel, practicing physicians, hotel keepers, mechan ics and laborers. That all are in terested and have a common inter est in the welfare and well doing and progression of the Cherokee nation. That the said two named districts is a tract of Cherokee country comprising more than the northern half of the Cherokee na tion. That it is bounded as fol lows: On the north by the state of Kansas.on the east by the states of Missouri and Arkansas, on the east line of the territory to a point where a line running directly west across the Cherokee country would intersect the northern boundary line of the". Creek nation, the east corner thereof, thence west on that line to the southeast corner of the Osage nation, which is 96 degrees west longitude, thence north on that line to the southern boundary line of the state of Kansas. That it contains more than 4,000,000 of the 7,(100,000 acres which comprise the Cherokee nation proper in the Indian Territory; that it contains far the best lands for agricultural cisco from the east In a southwest emly direction across the country; that these railroad intersect and cross at Vinita, in this country. Thai this country, in compliance with article four of the treaty of July 19, I860, with tho United Stales and the Cherokcos, lies northeast of the Arkansas river and northwest of Grand river, and west of the Creek country and the Osage reservation ; that article five of said ti.aty provides and contemplates that the inhabitants residing in said districts described, shall have the right to elect their own local officers and have a share of delegates in any general council and control all their local affairs, if not inconsistent with the con stitution of the Cherokee nation or laws of the United States, and to enjoy all the rights and privi leges of the other Cherokees in the Cherokeo nation and that any rules that may be adopted, which in the opinion of the president bear oppressively upon any citizen of the nation, he may suspend, and all rules or regula tions discriminating against the citizens of this or other districts are prohibited. ( Artcle seven of this treaty pro vides expressly that "A United States court shall be created in the Indian Territory, and until created the United States district and circuit court nearest the Cherokee nation shall have exclusive origi nal jurisdiction of all cases, civil and criminal, between the inhabi tants of the aforesaid district and other citizens of the Cherokee na tion. All processes Issued in said district against a Cherokee outside of said district shall be void un less indorsed by the judge of the district in which the process is to be served. A like rule shall gov ern the service of processes issuei by Cherokee officers against per sons residing in the aforesaid district." We respectfully call your atlen tion to the act of congress passed atd anoroved March 1st. 1889 which is "An act to establish United States court in the Indian Territory and for other purposes,' and we here state that said court is organized and located at Musko gee, about forty miles south and j . .. . . west of the south boundary line of the aforesaid districts; and there is no United Stutea district or cir cuit court created and located in the Cherokee nation nor in said district; that the said district and country and the inhabitants there of are without the benefits and ju risdiction of any court of the Unit ed States except the limited juris diction given the Muskogee court aforesaid, and doubtful limited criminal jurisdiction of the same retained by the United States dis trict court for the western district of Arkansas, located at Fort Smith, Arkansas, 140 miles distant from this district and country. Your memorialists further state lhat the Cherokee citizens living and residing in the southern, east ern and southeastern portions of the Cherokee country are in com- paratively a much shorter distance from the courts at Muskogco and Fort Smith than those living in the country and districts occupied by these memorialists, and that the rules and laws created and adopted requiring these people to attend the courts at Muskogee and Fott Smith do bear oppressively on the citizens of the Cherokee na tion, residing in the aforesaid dis tricts, and that the same is dis criminating against these citizens in comparison with other districts and inhabitants of the Cherokee nation. And your memorialists further show that there is located and sit uated in the aforesaid districts and country at the crossing of the aforesaid railroads, a town or vil lage named and called Vinita. This town is incorporated and or ganised under the laws of the Cherokeo i.ation; that it has a mayor, town council and a mar shal; that it contains 1200 inhabi tants; that it is the largest town, and that it contains the largest business interest, and that there is sparger volume of business annu ally transacted at this town than at anv other in the Cherokee na tion: that it has a healthful loca tion and a commendable location to create a town; that it is situated quite near the geographical center of these districts aforesaid; that it is about thirty miles south of the south line of the state of Kansas and about the same distance from the east line of the Indian Terri tory; about fifty miles east of the 0age line. In consideration cl the facts herein set foith these memorial provide rcmedieu in the business transactions, progross and political xistence of these people and to defend and secure to them the full possession and enjoyment of their homesteads and property. To the end, thereof, these me morialists pray that your honora ble body will receive and consider this petition and the facts herein set forth, and that A bill be intro duced In the senate and the house with the provision that a United States court be created with full and adequate jurisdiction in all civil and criminal cases within the said districts, with such other and low er courts and other officers as may be necessary and requisite, and that the said court shall be estab Nasal Catarrh.

Bolix hUT,I.T.,Jt. 10, 1S90 Editor CiEFTAis:--The Arkan sas City Traveler is a spicy, newsy little sheet, published near the border of civilization and is read by and receives its small support from the Indians of the territory Under the heading of "Cherokee Schools," it publishes a false statement from the Kansas City Globe, and seems to pride itself in the circulation of this falsehood, much to the injury of itself, among its readers of this section. We find it casts a reflection upon the management of our national Cherokee orphan asylum, whose management, including both agri cultural and educational depart ments, is as good if not superior to any in the state of Kansas. The correspondent is one named Har der and he harped a he one as hi? as the liar's law allow in attempting to mimic our Indian boys in their feeble attempt Thcv will come nearer harping the truth than our honorable cor respondent. It is a cowardly, niggardly prin- ciple that actuates the press report er who comes among the Indians and who receives their hospitali ty, to go away to their pale face brethren in the i-tatcs and then lie and misrepresent them in any capacity. The Cherokees don't rare for the truth to be told and we hope this will enable our tour ist to find out that it's the truth we want. So trusting when Harpers come around they will harp the truth and not falsehoods, to our detriment and injury, I remain, Boss Bi.f fjacket.
