r 1' -rv THE INDIAN FTAIN. CHIEFTAIN PUBLISHING CO. VINITA, INDIAN TERRITORY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1900. VOL. XVIII. NO. 26 M CHIE THE BURNING QUESTION Graphic Portayal of Existing ; Territorial Conditions rAa naW ire do lo be sated" From m)' earliest inlancy I have heard this text thundered lroui every pulpit frum the old log country school hou-e to the mHgni ficent cathedrals of our largest cities, by the humblest circuit rider of a country district and the petted pastor in his clerical rohes who numbered his congregation by the thousands. In fact, from the days of our Savior and his twelve apostles, thin question hai been the favorite theme uf all di vines to point tbe straight and narrow path to erring man, .bj which he might etcspe fr m Satan and his hot-ts, to the land of eter nal bappinrss and peace. But in no country on earth, and .among no people of the millions who have inhabited this mighty globe has this text beeu fraught with so much significance and such tremendous consequence? Jrom a worldly, governmental standpoint, than at this hour, the burning question enfolded in this text presents to the people of the Indian Territory. The chaotic conditions here presented have never confronted any other people in the history of the world. The Indian governments have been practically overthrown by revulu tfonary measures a bloodless rev olution, yet nevertheless a revolu tion and laws, customs, usages and traditions oi centuries were swept away into one chaotic mass, and the death knell of nations, however imperiect they may have been in some reepeets, as proud as any the kindliest smile of Heaven has ever blessed, with traditions as dear to them as are the noblest r traditions of the Anglo-Saxon race lelr descendants. Vested iirvflccrued to Indi- vidua's under tbe powers vested in these governments by treaties and vari"Us acts of tbe congress o the United States. Absolute pa tents in fee simple have been given the vane Indian tribes ' to the -an Jb embraced It. il.- . ' graphical limits of the Indian Territory, And in the Cherokee nation towns have been laid oni and sold under the laws of tbii- nation, and millions of dollars have been expended in the pui- cbass of lots, and handsome brick blocks erected tberon by thr pur chasers. Millions of dollars have been expended in openiugup farms and improving the same, and iD tbe erection ot magnificent country homes, under the laws of the Cherokee nation, and valuable franchises have been granted anl thousands of dollars expended in patting theco franchises into op- peration. - The Indian appropriation act of 1897 transferred the jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters in the Indian Territory from lh tribal courts to the United Statu courts from and after Jan. 1, 1898 The act of congiesB of June 28, 1898, commonly known as tbe CnrtiB act, abolished tbe tribal courts and prohibited the perform ance of any duty by any officer mWi iKSfOB&gcted with tbe tribal courts and prohibited the United btatec courts from enforcing any tribal lawB in any caie, either in law or in equity, while it further pro vided that all suits and criminal prosecutions pending in tbe tribal courts should be transferred to the United States courts. Citizens were given a right to the surface of the earth, yet are threatened with fine and jail should they bap pen to use more than tber unascer tained pro rata share of this tur face; denied the right tc cut timber for leucine or improving their lands. Their funds and resources have been arbitrarily taken to pay school superintendents and reven ne collectors by rules batched in the interior department; other rules are dug up that were made for the wild blanket tribes fifty years ago, and made applicable here among these Indians, who ml nmntnf intelligence aud civiliza tion will rank with any state along our borders. Residents of tbe territory without trial are sum marily arrested and transported 4wyond the confines of the tern ify, and many other nets are com mitted in tbe name ol the L-urlis it and other acts ol congress. ?Tbis territory has not had the ivantage of advanced legislation tbat all the ftaies ana lerruories have found necessary to keep step with this progressive age, the Arkansas law, as found in Mans eld's Digest, adopted and put in .orce .n the Indian Territory con. ,ains D0 la7 PaEB8d 'ince lhe ?ear 1000, biiu ii cuu iuub uo aceu luav I, .

There are no free schools' for the education of lhe children of tbe United States citizens, except in the towns, and ihey are growing up without the benefits ot an edu cation. The Cherokee nation, in order to settle these conditions. and in com pliance with the settled policy of tbe government, b conveyed to them by her representatives eent here for the purpose, made, per fected and completed an agreement with lhe Dawes cinimisbinn nn January 14h, 1899, and ratified tbe fame by an overwhelming ma jority of the popular vote of their people, the congress failed or re fused to act upon it, and it died by limitation. The last session of the legislature of the Cherokee nation, by an act extended tbe timt tor its ratification by congress, but as yet congress is strangely silent. Then in face of this startling tlate of affairs, the text occurs, "What shall we do to be saved?" I say first Drge the speedy rati fication of the treaty, and after its adoption rush its provisions to speeny effect, for this fixes laud titles, and "all wealth springs pri marilv from tbe eoil " Second. Organize a home government at tbe very earliest practicable mo ment. Third. Arrange our ffairs so that no man shall govern us ex oept by our consent. Founb. Hur ry up the time that may protect our political and property rights behind tbe bulwark of our ballot, for in this, and this alone, lies our safety Fifth. And then, as soon thereafter as possible, place our star in the blue field as a full fledged state, as tbe last, best and most attractive of all our sisters. Rectus. W. M MELLETTE'S VIEWS Schools foj; Non-Citizens the "Greatest Need, In speaking of needed congres sional legi.-lation for the Indian Territory W M. Mellete, of this city, said to a Springfield Republi can correspondent: "There has been much said about tbe educational advantages for non-citizen children in the In dian Territory, but tbe subject cannot be presented too strongly or oo often. Tbbse people 'who imagine tbe white people of the 'erritory are inferior to their neigh bors in tbe states, need light on he subject. I have never seen a people of more natural intelligence in their respective stations than those to be found here. But what will become of the white children now growing up? 1 am not a fan atic upon the subject of education, null am depressed when I think of the white boys aud girls in this country who cannot obtain an education for wbhi of proper facil ities. Neighborhoods by the scoie can be found where there is no -chool of any kind or description, and, as a necessary consequence, you find large boys and girls who can neitheV read nor write. I know this subject has been dis cussed over and over again, but it must grow in interest with each repetition. "Tbe boys and girls of today will be men and women tomorrow They cannot wait for schools as they can for other advantages and conveniences. Give them this boon now; not next week, not next year, not next congress; but at once, before our young people are young no longer. "The Indians want title to their lands, without any string to it. They want to have a right to dig down deep and hold fast to what what they find. An allotment to tbe surface as provided by the Curtis bill is not a just or satisfac e dieconlen. which hag f(jr year8 tory conveyance. It only ados to prevailed. I heard an old Indian say the other day that he did want to feel before he died that exerything over him and under him was hiB own. I have never been able to see any good and -ufneient reasoi. for withholding fee from the allottee The giving of this will certainly do more than anything else to fill the country with thrifty and permanent homes and farms, and make the occu pants thereof good citizens for the coming Btate." liny yourndap, stationery and fine perfumes where you can gel tho best Peoplo's Druff Store WHAT VINITANS WANT. Resolutions Passed at Third Mass Meeting. Mastj meeting No. 2 on "the g xid of the cause" was I) bid at the miyor's office Thursday night with a small attendance The commit tee un resolutions reported and wus discharged. A motion to take up and pass upon the resolutions by sections was amended and carried adjourning the meeting until Sat arday night on account of bad weather and small attendance. The third meeting, on Saturday night, was held in the United State." court room, and was well attended by representative' uieu of all clacses. A motion to take up the resolutions by sections was carried W P. Tbompson offered an amendment to tbe first section providing that the fnllowin words be stricken out: "and that in the event congress canuot ratify said agreement in its enlireity, that congress will pans an act embody ing so much of the said agreement as it will, and that saidacl be sub mitted to a popular vote of the Cherokee nation lo become a law upon its adoption by them." Alter considerable discussion this amendment was accepted. Other amendments are shown in ioily of resolutions in l alics. After the rtsoluiii-ne were dis posed of the election of delegatee resulted in the choice ol E. N. Rat cliff, V R B.i igett, Dr Bagl.y, Edgar Smith, Preston S Davis and J S Davenport. The Resolutions as Passed We, the committee appointed by tbe citizens of Vinita in mass meeting assembled on the night of February 13. 1800, to draft resolu tions to be submitted to u mass meeting convening on the night of February 15, 1900, respectfully re port as lollows: Be it resolved, first That the ratification of tbe agreement enter ed into between tbe c mmissiou to the five civilized tribes and the commission appointed by the Cherokee nation, as modified by the national council of the Chero- ...... ....,.; - wtptflllg iiiipor' tauce, and that it is the sense of this meeting that the proper reso lutions be framed by the territorial convention calling the attention of congress to the necessity of imedi ale and proper action in the prem ises, to the end that property interests be finally settlod in the Indian Territory, and that fee sim ple titles to the lands therein be vested in each individual Indian citizen as speedily as po-bible. It is further the sense of this meeting that an enfoiced allot ment such as provided by the Curtis bill is worse than no allot ment at all. Resolved, second That the un defined aud arbitrary authority now ex-rased by tbe inter tor depditmeut of the United States paralyzes with doubt every interest and vocation in this coun try, and thriicnugrers be memor lalized to define the powers f me interior depanniwit, and every brnuch or par. thereof, aud 10 limit the hatne Uthai t-cope which cn properly be- exercised and hnlptul lo a Ciun!rj of more than five hundred ihunid inhabilan's. cdmpoied of civilized tnd enlighten ed people capable of acrcising and enjoying all the rtonj, privileges and iijtunftfsa of good citizenship under a republican form of govern tfienf,aud tbat said department tball have such powers, and i-lfch powers only as are delegtted toil by ex press terms to the end tiat cer tainty my exist in the gov.mment of tbe people. It is furtler the sense of this meeting that U was never intended tbat many if the lawB, rules and regulations, &mc of them passed many j'ears agrt and now sought to be enforced bj the interior department here, wee to be applied to the condition thich now exiBt in the Indian Terrtory. Resolved, Third That inas much as the act of June 7. 1S97. provides that from and a'ler Jin. 1, 1698, all persons, irrespective oiracc, resident in the Indian Terrdory shall be subject to the laws or the United States, and the 29. h secion of tbe Curtiaact provides tbatthe laws of the various tribes or na tions of Indians ehall not be n forced in the aurts of the Uoitjd Slates, either at law or in quiM. it is the sense of this m-eting h it was never the intention of con. gress i hat the revenue laws of thi tribes should be enforced in any manner, much lee by the interior department; that such taxation is unjust, inequitable, oppressive ar - in-American. It is further the senBs of this mes irjg that any attempt upon the part of te inter ior department to enforce by force said taxation, which has no stand ing either at law or in equitv, is n quibble, pure and simple, and that it is further the sense of this meeting that the school funds of the tribes of the Indian Territory shall not be taken for lhe purpose of paying the salaries of employees of the interior department, but be used for the in crease of the school funds for the edu cation of these Indians Resolved, Fourth That cong ress be asked to provide ample means and ever' possible facility lo aid the commission to the five civilized iribes in making the til lolments of the lands of the said tribes under the treaties heretofore provided, and the treaties content plated for the Cherokee Nation, and that the people lend their hearty co operation and support to tbe said commission, to tbe end that tbe work of the said commiss ion in the matter of making said allotments and the settlement of townsites, maj be acomplished as early as possible. And further, that the membership of said cum-mif-sion to the five civilized tribes should he increased to that exten' that three members thereof should be assigned to pach nation, with a full complement of assistants, clerks and every other facility nee- es-nry lor lhe carrying on and completion ol the work in each ol the said nations, and that said three members be specifically as signed to each nation, and tbat lhe be responsible for the work therein, and that they terminate the same as quickly as possible It is believed that the present number of commissioners compos ing the commission to the five civiliz-d tribes could not complete the work in the several nations within a reasonable length of time. IKsdved, Fifth That the citi zens of lhe Indian Territory be re quested to render such aid as pos sible to tho delegations of the Indian tribes who have treaties now pending with the United States, to assist them in their rat ification. Resolved, Sixth Thit it is the expression of this meeting tbat all niiefctionp ttprtaininp to nitizenshin are res judicata, arid that any effort to re open the matter in cungre" be streniously opposed. Resolved, Seventh That it is of vital importance to the people o' this country that 6omo system of free schools be established, outside of incorporated towns therein, and that congre.-s be urged to provide such schools as soon as practicable Resolved, Eighth That it is deemed by this meeting of high importance that some ceneral law n the subj-d of sanitary regula tions and health measures, iuch a- are in force in Arkan?as. be adopted lor the Indian Territory. Rrgolved, Ninth That congref8 put in force in the Indian Terri tory the law on corporations, the esray, and thf gsime laws of the stale fif Arkansas THE CHIEF RETURNS. Will Appoint the Washington Delegation oon. Governor T M. Bufliuglon re urni-d from Tahlfquah last night, where he had been lor several daj's attending to his official dutie s principal c lief of the Cherokee nation. The di-legates to Wash ington will he appointed soon, and will start for Washington in ab m ten days lo confer wi'h the Dawes commission and with the secretary of the interior with reference U the pending agreement and other matters concerning the Cherokee nation. The chief is not well pleased with the government's ac tion in paying salaries of school supervisors, revenue inspectors, etc., out of Cherokee funds with out authority ol law, and without tbe consent of the Cherokee coun cil. Twenty five hundred dollars from the Cherokee school funds have been paid to Supervisors Benedict and Coppock for about four month service, and wolhoui tbe consent of the tribal authori ties. It is believed the revenue inspectors will also be paid in full out of the tribal lunds. As to the employment of Judge Springer, the chief says the law is specific in that all acts of the Cherokee c uncil must be vetoed within thirty d.-J'f nl'er their passage or they become laws bv limitation. The act authorizing the chief to employ Springer was approved by the principal chief on December 5ih, and was nnl disapproved by President 'McKinlev till after lhe expiration of thirty days. Foreman's Diug S're for prescript tiins FOR A BAR ASSOCIATION. Organization Proposed This Week at So. McAlister Believing that there is great need for the organization of a bar association for the Indian Terri tory, and that the present is an opportune time for action, we, supported by what appears to bo an almo.-t universal approval and heart' co-operation and support of the members of the bar from every part of the Indian Territory., issue by this authority the tho following announcement: There will be a meeting of the members of the bar of the Indian Territory at South McAlister on the 23d of February, 1900, for the purpose of taking steps to effect an organization of a bar association for the Indian Territory. It is be lieved tbat a freater number of law3-ers can be brought together at that time and place, owing to the territorial convention, and that the organization of a bar associa tion can be so arranged as to in no way conflict with, or detract one whit from the convention men tioned. In the organization of the bar association the effort will be to perfect it upon a high profes sional plane, and to maintain it to the end thai it may perform the legitimate luuctions of an up-to-date, high minded and truly pro fecsional association, serving no purpose save and except those which belong properly to law and lawyers. While other professions are im proving, should lawyers stand still? Evolution is the law of the universe; it should apply to the legal profession as well as every other calling. A judicial discus mod is a great educator, not only of the lawyers, but of the commun ity at large. It is believed that a goad purpose could be served by bringing before such an association for discussion such legislation as affects the judiciary of tho Indian Territory. It is hoped by all of those who are interested in tho matter that much good can be accomplished, a uigir Bmiix-i x , r - t ethics maintained, and an advanc--d standard of legal attainments reached, and that degree of cordial relations brought about among the members of this association as will in alter years add many incidents to the list of pleasant remem brances. The newspapers of the Indian Territory will confer a favor upon the bar at large by copying this ca'i.andit is hoped that the bar of every town will send one or m-re of Us members to the meet ing lo represent it.

Hill went to Fairland last Friday at the instance of the people of tbat town to make an investiga tion with reference to the existence of smallpox there and to advise them in the matter of quarantine as sought to be enforced by Dr Fortner of tbe Cherokee medical board. They express themseves as believing the family of Mr. Eden have not had smallpox, but tbey advised all parties to submit to vaccination and thus place themselves in line with the policy r of the board in trying to stop the spread of the disease that does undoubtedly exist in some locali ties. Their mission was success ful as they poured oil on the troub led waters, and quieled tbe dis turbances occasioned by tho clash between some of the people and the board. CURTIS' LATEST HEASURE. Penalty Provided for Returning After Ejectment from Territory. Representative Curtis has intro duced a bill in congress providing that the revised statutes be so am ended that any person who has been removed from the Indian country under the provieione of sectioi s 2147 or 2149 ol tbe revised Btatutes, or under the provisions ofan act of congress or treaty with the Indian tribe, and who shall return or be found .within the Indian country shall be punished by imprisonment lor not less than ninety days and by a fine of not less than S100. Mr. Curtis has also introduced a bill incorporat ing the Odd Fellows grand lodge in the Indian Territory. SECOND THOUGHT BEST. Wagoner Merchant Repents and Does Czar Wright's Bidding.

A gentleman who has handled cattle extensively in this country, and who ieeds largely for the mar ket and in wintering slock cattle, saidi day or two ago that stock were eatirgmore corn this winter than in any previous year of his experience. iJte woamer gener ally has been fine and dry, and cattle have simply eaten more than usual. Nearly every man who is wintering cattle has made a miscalculation on tho quantity of corn and hay needed. Cattle are wintering well and there are ffW poor ones, and the loss Jrom prtsenl appearances will be the lighted ever known. A great deal, however, depends on the weather of the next six weeks.
