Hgd ink. promises to play a very important part on tho noxt census rollB. It is difficult to combino con science and good naturo in signing petitions theso days. ' Tins country has not heard much of homo-rulo lately. Probably thero is not much of it to hear. Arkansas sonus a chunk ot zmc to tho World'a Fair weighing over six tons, nnd which is 80 per cent, pure The crnnd lodco, Knichts of Pythias, of tho Indian Territory, will conveno at South McAlestcr Tuesday, May 2nd. The provisions of tho Strip agreement with refcrenco to the intruders will bo carried oui -on a stretcher, though, it is feared. The census bill pujsed by the recent session of council Id tho most thorough in its scopo of any liko enactment by tho Cherokee legislature. The boomers around tho borders of tho Strip object to tho lottery scheme Tho reason for their ob jection is probably becaueo it would givo otbers a chanco. Last Saturday was tho -itli anni versary of tho opening of Oklaho ma, and in that period its Indian wigwams and broad stretches of vacant prnirio have been trans formed into cozy farms and thriv- " ing cities and towns, tho home of industry. Last congress incorporated in its appropriation for tho territory courts a section providing that all prisoners shall bo taken to the nearest commissioner for their pre liminary examination. As a re sult, Judgo Parker has determined to appoint commissioners for his court at each point in this territory whoro tho Muskogeo court has thorn. The United States Court of Claims last Monday decided that tho Delawares are entitled to a per capita interest in the money aris ing from tho salo of tho Strip. Their pro rata share would be about one-thirteenth of the entire amount. Tho matter now goes to tho supreme court and in tho gen eral course of business a decision from that tribunal, which is the final one, may bo looked for in about two years. Tho Shawncea and freedmen will doubtless take heart from this news. The commissioners will soon be appointed by President Cleveland to visit this country and treat with tho fivo tribes on tbo subject of al lotment and statehood. The chanccB are that no terms will be made; probably none will be asked of tho Indians. But the matter will bo presented in as forcible a manner as possible, and they will bo left to do as they please. But when this committee has reported to congress tho situation down here then congress will do as it pleases with us, and wo will have to abide by whatever it does. It is earnestly hoped that Hon. J. J. McAlestcr, tho new U. S. Marshal for this Territory, will givo us a bran new set of deputies and begin by firing all tho old in cumbents. Thore is no necessity, in this peaceful land, of having our towns and villages filled with walk ing arsenals in tho shape of deputy marshals. A man need not be an outlaw, a bigamist nor a murderer to bo fitted for an officer to execute tho law. Tho "bad man from bit tor creek" may now well bo spared and pass on and mingle with the things that were. THH PERMIT LAW. At tho suggestion of Chief Hcrris tho following act was passed amending tfie permit law of 1892, so that instead of "heads of fara , Hies only," permits may now bo issued to adult citizens. Subjoined is tbo amendment, and also tho treasurer's instructions to clerks relative to issuing permits. Acloso inspection of the law docs not re voal anything requiring tho clerks to go oiit and see how many farms a man has, and it is hardly prob able they will expend much energy in this direction. Hero is the amendment: Ah Act to mh-mmI an act entitled Ah Act authorizing the treasurer to fttrnUk blanks to clerks, eto, approrsu noyemuaT zoui, xovt.

Kani illtfMo, THE WHITE MAN'S RIGHTS. Catoosa DIeou&ooa tho Iesuo "with Honry Clay Sean. Tho constitution of a nation is its fundamental law. All icalsla- Llivo bodies created by tho const!- ) tution aro bound to legislate within prescribed limits. Whenover thoy go beyond thoso limits their acts aro illegal and void. Art. 3, Sec. 5, Amended Consti tution of tho Chorokeo Nation is nB follows: "All natlvo born Cliero kees, all Indians and whiles legally membors of tho nation by adoption, and-all freedmen who havo boon liheratod by voluntary act of their former owners or by law,as well as free colored persons who wero in tho country at tho commencement of tho rebellion and aro now resi dents therein, or who may return within six months from tho 10th day of July, 18C0, and their do Bccndauts who rcsido within tho limits of tho Cherokco Nation shall bo taken and deomed to bo citizens of tho Chorokeo Nation." Art. 1, Seo. 2, Amcndod Consti tution of tho Cherokco Nation, is as follows: "Tho lands of tho Cherokee Nation shall remain com mon propci ty until tho national council shall request tho survey and allotment of tho samo in ac cordance with thn provisions of tho treaty of July lfllli, 18GG, bolwccn tho United States and tho Chcro keo Nation," If tho land of tho Cherokee Na tion is common property, whose common property is it, if it is not tho common property of tho citi zoii8 composing tho nation? Judgo Parker, in his celebrated decision in tho caso of tho United States vs. Rogers, says: "By looking at tho titlo of tho Chorokecs to their lauds wo find that thoy hold them all by substantially tho samo kind of a lito, tho only difference being that tho outlet is incumbered with tho stipulation that tho United States is to permit other tribes to get salt on tho salt plains. With this exception, the title of tho Chorokeo Nation to tho outlet is just as fixed, certain, extensive and perpetual as tho titlo to any of their lands." Then according to Judgo Parker, who is admitted to be good author ity, tho Cherokee Nation was le gally possessed of tho outlet and that the lands thcro was a part of tho land hold in common men tioned in tho Olierokce constitu tion. Ass't.-Alt'y-Goncral Shields, in a decision, rendered to the depart ment of tho intorior, Oct. 31, 18S9, aftor quoting Art. 1, Sec. 2, of tho Cherokco amended constitution says: "it will bo observed that both tho original article and the amendment provide that tho lands of tho Cherokee Nation 'shall re main common property,' but thcro is no prohibition against a sale thereof by tho Nation to the United Statos. Tho proceeds of tho Bale would still remain common prop, orty, tho character oftho property being changed." Thoreforo, if tho lands were common property the monoy re ceived for tho lands would remain common property, tho character of the propertv being changed. Tho Cherokee council lias tho constitutional right to uso that money received lor tho outlet for any public purposo. They might build a railroad from Tahlcquah to Coffeyville, Kan., mako public highways all over the Nation, or build bridges across every creek and river in tho Nation, or even build n stone wall around Tahle quah a iiundred feet high; becauso it would still remain common prop erty, the character oi tho property boing changed. But whenover the council appropriates ono dollar of that money to any part or class of citizens ol the Cherokco Nation to tho exclusion ol nny other part or class of her citizens, they violate the constitution and their act is null and void. Council has a right to regulato tho manner or inociu of adoption. They may mako it 810 or 81,000, as they ploase, for a marriage fee, but after adoption and citizenship, the right to nbridgo or tako it away is denied. Tho Attornoy-General of the United States decided in a corlain caso that aflor admission, citizen ship could not bo taken away, not oven by tho United Statos. Henry Clay Doan,in his article la3t week, after expressing a desire to leave tho settlement of this quostion to the courts, constitutes himself a court and jury, proceeds in a very cunning inaniior to wipo out the sacred constitutional rights of the adopted citizens of this country. Ho uoys; "Vier'ng tho case from a legal standpoint wo must neces sarily be governed by tho laws, troalioa and agreements entered into with tho soveral classes of our citizens." From his "legal standpoint" ho ignores tho constitution of the Cherokee Nation, the very founila tion of all our law that defines in unmistakable language who aro citizens of tho Ceorokee Nation, and that the lands of the nation aro the common property of tho citizens. That is, thoy belong as much to one as another. lie. says that wo must be gov erned by tho laws, treaties and agreements with tho sovoral classes ol our citizens. If thoy aro our citizens, that is, Gherokco citizens, it seems tho constitution would do- iiuu iiiiir riKiiis. ii inoy aro cm zons, what has formor agreements or unconstitutional laws got to do with their rights? If Henry Clay Dean nhould givo mo a horse (which is not at all likely from tho bias stripes so plainly scon on his assumed judicial robe) and put him into my possoesion I would have just as good a titlo to him ac if I had paid him 8100 for the ani mal, lie Hays that citizonship docs not necessarily carry with It the right to common property. Ho does not givo any authority for this assertion; don't think ho has any. Thn greatest troublo is in tho way the Chorokeo Nation holds her lands and money. Citizenship always carries with it tho right to tho common property. If it didn't, it would not hi common property; HAVE YOU SEENH BADGETT'S THIS WEEK?

I think I can safely tell nim now ho needn't mako those pockets deep enough to hold the adopted citizens' money lor ho will not bo tho judgo nor the jury when that question is de cided. After the late civil war a num ber of adventurers went down south with bluo trousers and blue coats with brass bottons.with black cloth carpet bags in their hands. They woro called"carpct baggers." They promised the freedmen -10 acres and a mulo for their votes. Well, they got the olTices all right. Thoy got to bo governors and leg islators, but they couldn't deliver the 40 acres and tho mulo because they were. all private property down thero. Georgia had a rail road running from Atlanta to Chat tanooga, 138 miles long, worth about eight million dollars. Thoso fellows went for that for all thero was in it, but thoy didn't do quite as bad as Henry Clay Dean wants to do. They didn't sell tho road and pocket the monoy. Tho rental of that road, about ono-half of it, has been used to educate tho chil dren of tho freedmen over sinco they were mado citizens of that stato. Tho state is now receiving 835,000 por month rental. Tho road is tho property of tho stale: it is not "common property" held liko ours, yet all its citizens get the benefit ot ft. So with Texas; she holds the titles to her lands and when sold, uses tho proceeds for public purposes. Tho constitution of our nation makes it tho common property of its citizenB, thercforo a right passes to tho citizen to tho property of tbo nation, which cannot be taken away without duo compensation. See Constitution of tho United Stated and oi tho Chorokeo Nation. What gives Henry Clay Dean a right to the common property of this nation? Ho says it comes by blood. If it does, why don't his eastern brother share witli him in tho common property? That is exactly tho question settled by tbo supremo court of the United States in tho case of Eastern Clierokees vs. Chcrokeo Nation. Henry Clay Dean gets his right'to thu common property from tho same constitu tion and tho identical section that tho adopted citizen gels bis. Catoosa. Now Go-to Law.
