Kvi:iiY town ut any pretension nhould have puhliu iinproveineiit-j, even tliiugli they cost money which eome- out of the properly owners. They urn the ones who are benelitted mnl hence ought to pay for them. The hu-dncss- en terprise and progress of till tow ns is measured by the mnount and character of in iiiiprovenient", am when the people ot Vinita are con vinced that the money will he ju diciously used in the way of city improvements it will be forth coming not before. The present mayor and citv council are zeal ously engaged in trying to better the condition financially, and every other way, of Vinita. Their work in gratuitous; their task is a hard one; heretofore it has been thought to be an impossible one. lUiuer the circumstances The Chieftain is of the opinion that all should lend a helping hand in placing the city on a better fooling financially. We need better side walks and bet ter streets and cleaner alleys. It would be n source of pleasure to every resident of the place to have it so, and to the property owners and business men there is money in it. THE PLACE TO BEGIN. Of all the grave problems that confront the Cherokee people at the present time none have as sumed so grave an aspect as the intruder question and none are ol sj much importance to the bona flde citizens at this time. As much as Tun Chikitain favors allot ment of lands in severally, it be lieves that the intruder question should be settled fully and finully before allotment could or should come. A vast portion of our land is in the possession of non citizens. They are building their homes and making their farms on every hand They are socially and morally mingling with our people so thor oughly that their removal seems almost out ol the question. Jim they still come. livery honest sober minded citizen of this coiin . try should ponder this que-liop thoroughly and dispassionately All petty -differencis should In , laid aside and our -people should come together like one man and in view of tno gravity of the situation agree upon concerted action in this, the greatest of all dangers that menace the Cherokee peo pic. The press of the country in stead of bickering and spatting about "circulation"' and "Indian blood,'" and "reformed lives," and en gaging in little, dirty, person alities, should unite in one grand common warfare upon the common enemy. What does it imittei w hether the Telephone has a great er circulation than the Sentinel so far as regards the intruder ques tion? What sensible citizen cares whether tius lvey lias more or less Indian blood than some oilier citizen, or whether there be 2,(X)U or 10,000 lullhlood Cherokees in this nation? Every true citizen should he in uuty pound to use his utmost endeavors to settle fin ally and ultimately this, the great est of all questions that affect the w elfare of the citizens of this na tion. But how does it happen that so iflany claimants are here asking admission into the country as citizens? One reason is, doubt less, that they want homes. L'.ut that is not the giand reason why such vast numbers are here. The reason is just this: Some of our Cherokee citizens who ure so ready to boast of their Indian blood are going out into the states continually and begging, and per suading people t come in and prove up a right. We have men who have followed this business for years and have brought in claimants by the score. Yet these very fellows are ready upon ihe slightest provocation to jump up ami say "I am a Cherokee by blood; I am loyal!" No wonder the United Statts government is slow to put out Ihe intruder when they know how a great many of them get in here. If a sinking ship is to be saved, the holes mu-i be stopped. Alter all inlels are closed, then the pumping out can proceed. So with the intruder question; the mighty influx must be stopped before it will do any good to put anybody out. Some ot our Cherokee by blond attorneys are even now reaping a harvest off claimants to citizenship, and after having gone out into the highways and hedges, and lanes, and almost compelled them to come in, after having fleeced them of their wealth, they raise a great hue and . cry against "intruders." AhuI'M. Vinita. Meli. W, lst2. Kpitoii Ciukktian: Why is it wo see so much said through the little Tahlequah papers about, or rather favoring the Gth article of the ne gotiation between the Cherokee and the U. S commissioners? The common udage is the more you stir an old stench the louder it smells. So it seems to be with IhisAth article; the more vou turn it over and the morn it is scrut inized the more rottenness can be seen in it. It has grown now until the list of supposed helicliciai ies number ah ut thtvn hundred; about two hundred and thirty of them are hoodood in order to keep t Item quiet until the last w hen they find will themselves necessarily lei'l out in the cold w ith their vi.-ionary claims. Men who never were west of the Arkansas river are claiming to have farms and im provements there. Every one w ho has been there knojvs about the improvements on the Strip. It is unnecessary for these fellows to blow their horns; it the Cherokee commission has put a feather in their cap the reading and thinking portion of our people will see it, and the kick made by the "little Viuita crowd" as referred to in a late issue of the Telephone will amount to nothing, liul oh, how the immortal (?) sevuity would like for a vision of their scheme to be confined to a lew around Vinita. Well do they know the eyes of the whole people are being opened to their acts, and the leaders of the scheme are all branded, they have been watched since long before council met two years ago. Is it strange to see the men who bitter ly opposed a sale at all two years ago, claimoring now for the ratifica tion of the negotiation at less than one-half the price they estimated it at then. Not at all strange, when we remember at that time the re sult of the last August election was pending. No one knew what parly would have the handling of this important business and the distribution of the vast amount of money that would accue from it. liut how different last council; it was well known then who would handle the reins for the next four vears; it was known then whose bogus and old rejected claims could be paid, and who had the j creation of new ollices and the up- ! poinlmeiit of men to till them, and ; w ho could claim the honor of so handling the administration as to t provisions would have been made tor the UniUd States government. through tier agents, to have paid this monev out direct to the peo pie, knowing the dangers, judging Ironi the past, ol allowing such i vast amount of money to be sub iect to the order of our national council. , Jf such a thine is possible for us to ever get more than the first oiler the government made, then there is no doubt but that we have lost a million dollars by hnving to grat ify the greed of iorty or titty per sons, who had lor the basis ol their claims the little five or six families of Cherokees and some c'aiiii'ints, who, ol their own cho. ci isolated themselves from the Cher ok'es niiil Irom civilization. We believe that the Telephone will yet have its eyes opened to the i'.ict, that the kick, as he terms it. Is mil only for the small amount of land to be given, but what it has and will cost the Cherokee people to give it, is the question We know of no one who favor it save three or four who have been victimized with promises that they are on the preferred list id' seventy, ami no ilouht dus will prove to he a victim of misplaced confidence also. Inpki'knpknt. THE WASHINGTON BILL, Providing for a Division of Indian Lands and Moneys. MxtIon 1. that any person who is a member ot any linliau tribe, nnd entitled to share in the tribal property, or has an interest therein, and who is able to read and write, or who has completed the course of education prescribed in a school or college iHt-il by tin government for the education of the, Indians, and who is more than twenty-one years ot age, and who desires to become a citizen of the United States, may present tn the United States circuit or district court, or the court established by act of congress having the powers of a circuit or district court of the United States, and having jurisdic tion over the country in which his tribe is located, his petition to have his pro rata share in value of the tribal lauds and other prop erty ascertain and set oil to him, and such court may thereupon pro ceed to ascertain the facts, and such partition made. Si:i tion 2. That the proceeding, practice, and pleadings shall be the same as in civil suits in such courts, except as othewise. provi ded in this act. Skctio.n 'J. That the chief or ly all the public debt and put our ' governor of the tribe of which paper at par. A good electioneering scheme for those in power. Just such a one as the National party had when liushyheml was chief fhe money was in the. treasury from the sale of the Cherokee lands in Kansas; he deserved no credit, in. less it was for paying our debt Irom the sale of land at -I'J cents per acre that was worth at least three dollars and is to-day worth ten. Any man can setile a debt w hen he has an overflowing treas ury to draw on. Again, it reminds us ol the famous lease of tho-e amis a few years ago to the cattle barons. Is H strange lhat men stood in our council haiis and ex hausted themselves contending lor the last, dollar? Not so mueh so could you see the Veil lift"t Is it strange that the Nationals are to day, so many of them, blinded to the interests ol the people in this matter? Nut so strange when you realize that aoout seventy of their leaders and best I ushers lorm a part ol the immortal seventy, in ehnling "lloyal Hob." who so lav ishly spent his opinion through tne columns ol the Teh phone last week. We venture to say that; four-tilth of the Cherokee peo- j pie to-day would oppose the whole 1 transaction Irom beginning to end could thev be Irce Irom the inllu such petitioner is a member shall be made defendant to such suit as chief or governor to represent the interests of such tribe in such soil. Si: tjo.v ; 4. That upon the trial ol any issue therein arising, or upon deiault, or by consent ol parties, if it shall appear that the paititiou ought to hi! made the court will award an interlocutory judgment that such partition be made, specify ing the proportionate share such petitioner is to have in the lands and other propnty ol the tiibe, ii ii t shall thereupon appoint three reputable and dis interested pt Isoii-, lesiding in the j ui i sdlc: I on, and not members of such tiibe, commissioner', direo ing that they shall lay oil and par tition to such petitioner his pro rata share in value of t he I mis and other properly i 1 the tribe, taking care that sueh partition be made without detriment to the other persons intere-ted m such tribal property. Kciore proceeding to discharge their duties, such com- Uuiledtates, and shall thereupon become entitled to the properly so set oil' and partitioned to him under his petition, and shall cease to be a member id" such tribe, and shall become a citizen of thu United States. SkiTioN ti. That the petitioner may present a duly ceitilied copy of such decice of partition to the proper atithontie- of such Indian tribe or of the United Stales having charge of the property partitioned and set apart to said petitioner by said decree, who shall thereupon deliver to said petitioner his share and take his receipt therefor upon the buck of such copy ol the decree, Skciion 7. l hat in case lilt)' or more petitions of partition are tiled by members ol any one tiibe or nation, under this act, the duel or governor ol such tribe or nation may, ll so requested or directed, by vole ol the tribal council or legislature, tile a petition in the court having jurisdiction over the country as nloresaid, to have the lauds ol the tribe surveyed, under tin) supervision of the I'nited States, with a view to their pro rata equal division in value to the members of such tribe or nation; and upon the filing ot such petition the court shall stay the further partition under the individual pe titions aforesaid, and certify said petition to the secielary of the in terior, with ii certificate showing the number of such individual pe titions filed, and a -certified copy of each partition report and decree thereunder; and thereupon the secretary of the interior shall pro ceed to have the lands ol the tribe surveyed in the same manner that public lands of the United Stal.-s are surveyed, at the expense ol the United States, and send two duly certified plats of such survey to such Court, which shall then ap point three competent, di-intercst-ed residents of the jurisdiction to partition said lands to the mem bers of said tribe in equal shares in value. Where towns are estab lished upon such tribal lauds sur veys and plats of the same shall be made by the secretary id' the interior into lots and blocks, streets and alleys, with suitable reserva tions lor parks and public build ings, and the same shall he con sidered and divided as part of the - : I . 1 ii -il l muui iaiois : trovulKl. noiriitr. l'hat in so dividing the lands and lots due regard shall be had to im provements erected thereon in good faith, and that fair compensa tion to the owner ol Ihe improve ments so made must be. paid in- tendered Ii i in in case such land or ot is partitioned to sonic other person. 1 TlhK Mil 11 l;.

Would this not be strange legislation? Not at all, when coun cil is filled with a lot of men who were elected on a tieket hearing their names, headed in black and white with these words, "We favor a sale of the Strip and paying out the money to the people." Did they make one etlort for the peo ple in approving the negotiation.' It th.-y lavored paying out tins money to the people w hy was there not a law passed for paying this money out to the people w hile tin y were continuing the negotiations, the Mine a? there was a few years ago in the grasa money? Council passed a law requiting it to lie paid out to the people w hen it Ac cumulated to three hundred thous and dollars. Had they attempted to, it would have been in the idiape of a blood bill, discriminating g tin.-t a pai l ot our people, which was done any way. Save in one case their promises were carried out: in the cum! of Die white adopted citizen (provided the United Stales govei iimcnt approves the sale) it makes a full Hedged citizen out ol him equal rights in both land and money, as has been already shown through Thk Ciiikftais, without the action of any court. As in the case of the Dela waren, Shawneea and col,. red, he must fuller the consequences of a blood bill here and take bis chance in the court for his rights. Had the wishes of this people been carried outin this transaction there would have been no discrimina tion made, especially in lands, and eiiccs that has always piejudieet them against their own interests, j to th court and in -know-It The lullhlood Indians and the ' open court their report, or less informed portion of our neo- ! sin and swear M the same belore pie ure to-day awaiting to hear the j smiie one authorized to aduiini -ter announcement of a payment fo . oaths, which report shall speciiy distribute the proceeds ot the sale i by no tes and hounds, courses and of those lands, w hile others don't ' distance, and by a plat, the share anticipate any payment at all, or j ot real estate assigned to such pe at least tor a few years, and then ! titioncr, and shall also state the but a small amount of it.
