A coincidence witliout likeness
is tho demand upon President
Cloveland by tho republicans of tho
sonato ior the causes of dismissal
of republicans from office and tho
appointment of democrats in thoir
places, with tho opinion held by
friends of the administration, that
tho senate had no right to reject
persons recommended by tho chiet
for delegates, without giving rea
sons for so doing. Tho position
taken rather implies that the chief,
in a saintly view, is Jiko tho popo,
incapablo of committing an error,
and that all his recommendations
aro right and correct as to tho
necessary qualifications of a dele
gate; or atleast should be consider
ed such unless tho senate expressly
declared by word lather than
action that they did not fill tho
bill, by denouncing them on tho
grounds of incompetency or some
thing worse. Wo would have a
happy state of affairs in our coun
try, if for every refusal to do cer
tain things every ono was com
pelled to give his reasons. Tho

ADOPTED OITIZBNB.
No Indian tribe has as many
adopted citizens as Urn Chcrokco.
Why such is tho fact can only bo
explained in a way that would
partake of tho nppearanco of na
tional egotism, as inducements
lmld out or opportunities offered to
bring about 6uch a stato of affairs
must have originated in conditions
not common to all tho tribc9 in
that of liberality, advancement in
tho acts of civilization, common
wealth, possible advantages or tho
social grade of tho tribe itself.
The object of this paper is not a
discussion of this matter, but what
is an adopted citizen without
referenco to rights or privileges.
Tho word "adoption" and other
derivatives of option used in tho
senso as it is in relation to our
citizens, not nature, means the
giving of a titlo to tho privileges
and rights of a child. Tins is ex
prcssiy so in roicrcnco to our
colorod citizens to whom wcro
given tho "rights and privileges of
nallvo Cherokces," and is a clear
caso of adoption, and may bo said
to bo the only ono in tho nation
Tho manner in which whito peoplo
becomo citizens is not by agroo
ment with somo other authority, as
in caso of tho colored poople, but
n compliance to tho demands of
civilization and tho social rotations
of tho world. Tho very peculiar
mannor in which wo hold our
lands, boingthat in tho likeness of
an cstato or an inheritance, ncccs
earily requires a law to legalized in-
tcrmamago and to make it simply
a privilcgo extended by tho nation
without any outside consent.
Therefore whites becomo citizens
of our nation by tho graco of a
privilcgo extonded in compliance to
tho social relations and demands of
the day. Tho colored people bo
camo citizens by reason ol former
residence in tho country as slaves,
and as residents-were liberated in
our midst, not as citizens, nor as
intruders, but as claimants by
reason of thoir former condition to
tho rights of citizenship. Ilcnco
their adoption as citizens having
the rights and privileges of native
Cherokces.
Tho difference between these two
classes of citizens is this: Tho
whito man can forfeit his rights as
a citizen in tho country by desert
ing his wifo without u. cause, or in
case of her death ho can do the
same by marrying a white woman.
This is not tho caso with tho
colored citizen. Tho white citizen
surrenders his rights in the country
voluntarily; tho colored cannot be
deprived of his rights as a citizen by
any power the nation may possess or
attempt to cxcrciso becauso he is a
citizen by reason of an agreement
with another power, and not as a
whito man by reason of marriago
with an Indian woman, under a law
ofpriivlcgo, incomplirnco to the
social demands of the times. Tho
words "adopted citizens," by com
mon use and consent, apply to both
classes, although evidently there is
a difference as set forth in our laws.
Tho Sbawnecsand Dolawarcs are
not adopted citizens according to
tho strict meaning of tho term.
Adoption carries with it a meaning
of admission to certain rights and
privileges without consideration.
Tho rights and privileges of theso
peoplo as citizens of tho Cherokee
nation is a matter of purchase, and
not of option by reason of inter-
ventivo genius. Tho ordinary
troubles ', that besieged our nation
wore not sufficient or sorious
enough to satisfy his towering am
bition, or to open up a sccno for a
full display of his powors, or to
gratify his avarico.
Tho complaint of tho North
Carolina Cherokces against tho
Chcrokco nation begpn soon after
tho lato war. Through their attor
neys of both petticoat and bifur
cated persuasion, a caso was of
ten attomptcd to bo instituted
boforo tho courtofclaimsin Wash
ington, or to induco tho Interior
marriage, as refers to tho white
&
t
WfiP
4jsfwlf
iflE ill
in
(respondent, if ho knows, will
n tho readers of tho Chief
lront this matter. Either he,
tck""tcutiv council, or tho
man, nor of force or circumstances,
as refers to the colored. By
mutual agreement, mado possible
by treaty with a higher power than
either, between them and the
Chcrokco nation they legally bo
camo the possessors of all tho rights
and privileges of citizenship in tho
country by tho right of purchase.
Therefore tho descriptiyo words,
"adopted citizens" cannot con
sistently apply to them, unless
adoption in their caso can bo con
sidered as a matter of merchandise.
Their position in tho country as
citizens is more that of a member
ship in a corporation, purchased
for a certain amount of money,
than any othor local conclusion.
They are virtually Cherokees every
one of them, by reason of the pur
chase money paid by thorn and ac
cepted as a consideration by tho
Chcrokco nation.
At tho timo tho agreement was
cntored into between them and tho
Chcrokco nation, tho amount paid
by each ono as an equivalent for a
general partnership in tho nation's
possessions was deemed sufficient
tocntitlo them to equal rights of
native Cherokces. Tho rights and
privileges of the colored peoplo as
citizens and thoso of tho JDela wares
and Shawnccs are moro nearly the
as are
department to tako measures to
detcrmino its merits. Thoro was
no law or provision of law upon
which tho court could claim juris
diction in tho caso, nor was thoro
any provision of treaty or Bafu con
struction of treaty upon which the
interior department could hear tho
complaint. Every possiblo means
waa rcsorica to, to maKO a
caso beforo somo authority
that had a shadow of right
to award a decrco, but nono
could bo found. Thus for nearly
ten years, without accomplishing
anything, tho effort has boon mado
iu gci a ncanng oeiore somo
tribunal. Thero was no way of
procedure in law or treaty and
nono could bo created. If the
North Carolina Cherokces wished
to enjoy any of tho benefits of tho
Chcrokco nation west, they must
move to and bcuumo a part of It.
As citizens of tho stato of North
Carolina, without a rocognized
tribal organization to claim tho
rights of government on tho condi
tions of a separate nation, they
had no right by roason of any
stipulation to anything guaranteed
to tho Chcrokco peoplo as a nation.
There being no individual interest
but all common in tho sonso of a
nation, thoy could lay no legal
claim to tho proporty owned in
the common by tho Chcrokco peo
plo west. This was just tho condi
tion of their claim, and there was
no way or means in law or treaty
to try iU merits. m
In tho midst of our nation's
safety against thoir complaint and
tho impossibility of it oven becom
ing a serious trouble, Phillips and
tho delegation assented to an enact-
mont by congress of a law that
would authorize not only tho North
Carolina Cherokces, but every
species of claimant to enter suit
against tho nation. A breach was
mado in tho wall of our protection
against this enormous claim, to bo
entered by Mr. Lockwood leaning
on the aim of Attorney Shollabar
ger, confronted in tho Scotch
accent by Col. Phillips. Ho open
cd a door to bo entered, then
famed it with his person at the no
little expense of the Cherokee na
tion, as a cost of his perfidy.
Great credit is claimed for
Phillips in what is termed his
successful defense of tho nation in
this caso beforo the court of claims.
But if credit is given to him to
whom the credit is duo, assistant
Attorney General Fay was more
material to success than Phillips,
as any ono can easily discover by
referring to tho briefs of tho two
gentlemen.
Tho caso Is before tho sunrcme
court of tho United States, whither
Mr. Phi lips has followed it, at the
approval, as reported, of the chief.
As further evideuco of tho fact his
brief is eaid to be out, togothor
with that of Mr. Shallabargcr. at
torney for the North Carolina
Cherokces tho former a hotch
potch and the latter, as given by
competent judges of such matters,
terse, strong and logical.
What will bo tho decision of tho
court is yet to bo seen.

Chieetain of recent date an articlo
over tho well known signature of

mooted but unsolved problem of
"Tho Indian's Future.' "S. S."
is now and then somewhat erratic.
It is true, nevertheless, when ho
flics to ink and pnpor ho grows
wonderfully philosophic, and often
exhibits marvellous acumen in
solving tho most complex problem
of tho day. Tho truth is wo havo
been somewhat impatient to hear
from our sago mend upon this very
subject. We know that it was in
him and tho time of its delivery
was close at hand. Wo havo oft
times been constrained to admire
tho frankness and fearlessness with
which ho flings his banner to the
breczo in the discussion of any
question ho sets his heart upon.
Judging from his introductory
debut on tho question ho proposes
to unravel, ho will tacklo it in all
details and rurnifacfitions. Should
ho succeed in Bolving tho problem
ho will win a placo in history to bo
envied by tho greatest statesmen of
tho ago. ims Indian problem is
tho hidden rock in tho political
ocean, around which floats tho
wrecked hopes and ambitions of
statcsmon from tho days of Wash
ington down to thoso of Grovor
Cleveland. Wo havo a way of
thinkinc tho nroblcm will ultimntn-
ly solve itself; howovcr, wo may
bo mistaken. If Darwin's theory
about tho "Survival of tlio fittest,"
obtains in nature's laws, our
political telescope has focused a
ray or two oflight upon tho voxod
question, liut wo shall not spec

Editoii Chieftain: Sir: Wo
havo heard a.good deal said about
tho 8300,000 swindlo and now I
wish to havo a word In regard to
it, and other matters pertaining to
tho wolfaro of my peoplo. Wo
havo seen tho roport of tho com
mlttco of investigation and tho
testimony of Mr. Phillips and
otiiors, and It docs seem to mo
mat wiu iuoa is scarcely worth en
tertaining that tho, government
would glvo us that amount to make
deeds for which they had already
paid, and which did riot mako any
difference in fact whether wo made
tho deeds or not. I think that the
commltteo did their work well, and
deservo tho gratitudo of all tho
peoplo, and wo should tako their
action as conclusivo in tho
premises. Thoy seem to think
that wo owe tho government 8331,
000, and if buc.1i is tho caso then
our western lands stand encumber
ed to that amount without our con
sont. If such is tho caso let us
tako stops to refund that amount to
tho United States government, and
then lot us take stops to secure tho
lands In such a way as to bo of
benofit to tho people. I would
suggest that steps bo taken to allot
all west of 0G, as an cxporiincnt on
tho allotment quostion which is so
much talked of. Tho government
agrees to allot our lands when tho
national council shall ask it, and if
this is dono wo can sen tho result
of tho problom of allotment and
not cn'langcr our present homes
cast of 90. It docs look'to mo that
would bo the best thing for nil as it
would givo tho poor man an equal
footing with tho more wealthy. I
would also suggest that each ono
should havo feo simplo patent to
do with his land as ho thought
best. It should bo endorsed by
tho secretary of interior which
would protect any individual from
being swindled out of his land, and
if ho should sell ho wouluV bo in
good circumstances to improvo his
home cast of 90. I think that if tho
government wishes to do right by
us sho will grant us tho privilcgo of
having deeds approved by tho sec
retary of intorior. It would bo
about tho samo had tho neutral
lands been allotted instead of hav
ing been sold as thoy woro.
Tho government claims to bo
our guardians and if so, shuuld bo
willing to do tho best for us.
Would it not bo a great deal better
for our poeplo to bavo a say in
what belongs to them. If each ono
had his share of tho western lands
given to him ho would feel digni
fied in his pwn estimation, and also
by his vhito neighbors and t'would
be a great inccntivo to lift him up
to a higher piano of civilization.
There is no doubt that wo would
realize five times as much by this
plan than any other that has yet
been brought forward. IIow aro
wo to know whether wo can do
this or not? Wo can novcr find
out unless wo mako Bomo effort
ourselves for if we set serenely by
or quarrel among ourselves about
some trifling points and prejudices
I seo danger ahead of our loosing
our lands or having them takon by
a pretended ealo at a few cents per
acre. Is it to bo supposed that it
is best for us to lot the lands slip
from our hands for a fow cents
when wo can bv the nronosod nlnn
realize dollars. No ono but an
idiot would say so. I do not be
lloro in selling our lands but if wo
aro forced into measures I want to
seo my peoplo receive some benofit
from it.
I would suggest that if our lands
west wero encurabored let us ap
propriate tho funds now on hand to
relievo tho encumbrance But I
cannot understand, it our land
west havo an encumbranco on It,
why comes Commissioner Atkins
to negotiato with us for a sale, and
to negotiato on tho question of salo
was refused. I recognizo tho fact
that unless our peoplo act promptly
at this time, tho law-making
power of tho United States will put
us in a very bad condition, as re
gards our public domain. It is
asserted that if wo should allot our
lands east of 90 that tho railroads
wuuiu ciaim part 01 the lanus un
der their charters. But such a
danger does not hang ovor the
outlet, or westof 90, as yet. Such a
plan as I havo suggested would
placo all on an oqual footing, and
thoso who wished, could improve
their portion or sell. I belief 0
tho day has passed in regard to
sending delogatos to protest, and
not proposo to do something our
selves. Let us discuss this point
and look coming events in tho
face and act. Let us como to somo
conclusion immediately or it
will soon bo everlastingly too
mm. 11 any ono win proposo a
hotter plan I will hnartly endorse
him. I do not wish to bo called
sensational, nor do I wish to
create a false alarm among tho
peoplo but I do think I seo danger
