tho four million dollar claim, not

to look very much like some gov
ernment officials were in league
with Owen to loot the nation of a
"per cent."
It is still hoped congress may
see the necessity of legislation ef
fecting the conditions that now
prevail in tho Cherokee country.
The Indians themselves are ex
ceedingly anxious for allotment
and land titles. This country
would be greatly advanced by the
enactment of the Quay bill or
some other similar measure.
Those who attempt to defond
the action of some of the former
board of education under (be
Cherokee government only call
attention to a matter that is known
to have been the sbamo of tho

Churchill was correct in his repre
sentation of tho matter ob far as he
knew, tho' the half has never been
told.

The school board and the citv
council have done and are doing a
great work in providing a means
of education for every boy and
girl in Vinita, and holding out the
inducement of good schools to all
the families who come here to
live.
It appears that all legislation
affecting the Indiuu Territory, as
badly as it is needed, has been
laid aside by this oongreHs for the
reason stated that no agreements
can be made with the Indiana

no agreement whatever can be
reached with tt u seoreta-y uf the

all preliminary arrangements for

assigns as a reason that any action
will interfere with the Dawes Com

been in active operation for more

in the distant future. Tho gov

There seoma to bo n wido diver

claim known pb tho Slade-Bender
accounting or the 84,000,000 found
due the Chorokeo nation according
to said accounting. Tho hlslcry
of this claim is well known, though
somewhat misunderstood, or mis-
interpreted by interested parties.
The facts are, tho eastern Cher
okeeB had a balance of $1,111,284.

per cent from June 12, 1838. But
the eastern Cherokees wero given
full rights in the Cherokee nation,
and whatever funds they had were
placed to the credit of the whole
Cherokeo people. They were al

old settlers in the lauds west of

Hon. James M. Robinson
Writes of Conditions in
the Indian Territory. ,
STRIKING REVIEW
Of tho Political and Social Condi
tions In the Territory From
the Pen of tho Indiana
Representative,
The following forcofr! -'lew of
the political and Boclal . L'lltfonx
which obtain in the Indian Terri
tory, has como from tho pen of
Hon, James M. Robinson, repre
sentative from Indiana.
"Indian torritory is an anomaly
in the body politic of the country.
This has been the sontiment of all
the thoughtful who have given at
tention to its status. It wasjvoiced
by ex-President Harrison in a
messago to congress; it furnished
a subject for the last report of the
governor of Oklahoma; it was
forcibly pressed by the dolegate
from Oklahoma, Mr. Flynn, and
by the late United States Commis
sioner, Mr. S. B Bradford, and by
other representatives of the peo
plo who appeared before tho Com
mittoe on Territories, and it met
the concurrence ol that committee,
universally expressed, and whloh
evolved n bill for its government.
Tho territory has nogoneral law
for its government. It is tho homo
of tho fivo civilized tribes of In
dians, each of which is Btyled a
nation, boing tho Chorokee, Choc
taw, Chickasaw, Creek or Musco
gee. and tho Seminole, that for
merly lived in tho Slates of Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, and
Tennessee.
Tho respective nations have a
sort of government suited to their
needB in great meaeuro, but wholly
inadequate for them in community
or for the territory, if they were
applicablo in a general way, which
they are not.
TheBe Indians, na their general
designation would imply, aro
civilized; and, far mora than that,
they aro careful, industrious, and
able businees and professional
men and faxmers and artisans, and
indoed, the policy ot the govern
ment and the disposition of the
white race ob "westward tho
courso of empire takes its way"
have ao infused them with whlto
blood that out of the 75,000 scarce
ly 10,000 could bo told.
The territory is rich in agricul
tural land, ranking with Oklahoma
and fairly rich in mineral re
sources. To a country like this, about
the size of Indiana, thu whito mail
has flocked and taken his children
with him, until they make up 325,
000 of the total population of
400,000.
Herein lies the tale of -woe that
comes up from thai peopln and is
shown by resolutions and lettors
and innumerable newspaper arti
cles, thepresB of such cities bb St.
Louis, Dallas and Galveatoa join

substantial form of government

and over, comprising another 75,
000 of its inhabitants, but have ab
solutely no law for the construc
tion of highways, the care of the
needy and insano, the punishment
of the incorrigible and criminal,
or the education of the young.
This leavea 250,000 without gov
ernment and 100,000 school child
ren without the means of educa
tion. The insane are shifted onto
the charily of sister stales or are
brought 1,600 miles to the asylum
at Washingtor , or nr chained to
tho floors of their cabins or to
trees.
The courts of the United Stalea
of the territory are driven to aid
in the protection of communities
against the insane, and connive at
the filing of charges against them,
of which they aro acquitted by
reason of insanity and are ordered
transported to the insane asylum
on tbo Potomao, There aro twenty-
five inmateB from the territory In

Tho evidence showed that West

his life.
Tho men had been enemies for a
long time, and West had repented
Iy mado threats to kill Ewing.
The evidonco proved bo conclusive
