(Concluded frovt I si page) nation is that when the time comes for the allotment of the lands of the Cherokee nation that the original registered Delawares who are alive and in being at that time should each have his "pound of flesh," not less than 1G0 acres, whether the individual Cherokee gets that much or not. That the descendants of the registered Dela ware? should frhare and share alike with the Cherokees, no more and no less. That the modern Shylocks should not be allowed to draw the life blood of the Chero kee nation on so palpable a fraud. Respectfully submitted, V. A. Duncan, Chairman. S. R. Wai.kingstick, D. M. Faulkner, Stephen Tehee, Skake Manus, Daniel Redbiud, Lacy Hawkins, Cherokee Delegation. .A Statement From i)r. Nairn. Coouv's Bluff, L T., March i, lfOi. Editor Chieftain: I have noticed in your paper the last few weeks several articles giving the Cherokee view of the Cherokee Delaware agreement. As I have seen nothing from the other side, with your permission, I will give the Delaware view of the contract as I understand it. To get at the true meaning of the treaty we must not lose sight of the tact that two distinct classes of people are considered and two distinct periods of time are involv ad. The two classes considered are the registered Delawares and the Delawares horn since the treaty was made. The two periods of time are, the limp the Cherokee lands remain common property and the time allotment takes place. During the time the land is common property the Delawares hold that all citizens are equal, that the conditions and restrictions imposed by law on native Chero kees apply equally to registered Delawares. I5ut the- also -hold that when the land is allotted the treaty gives them all the land they bought IbU acres to each register ed Delaware. What does the treaty say? "In case the Cherokee lands shall hereafter be allotted among the members ol said nation, it is agreed that the aggregate amount ol land herein provided for the Delawares, to include their im provements according to legal sub-divisions when surveys are made, that is to say 1(50 acres for each individual, 6hall be guaran teed to each Delaware incorporated by these articles into the Cherokee nation." That clause of the treaty is the Delaware view of the con tract is the contract itself. If it does not mean what it says, it is not only misleading but meaning less. It does not admit of any other explanation or construction. There is not a sentence in the treaty, in my judgment, if taken in the sense used by the contract ing parties, if interpreted by the light rof the fact that two dis tinct periods are considered and two classes are involved, that con tradict it. If it had been the in tention of the parties that only as many of the Delawares as were livinc when the time of allotment arrived should receive 160 acres of land the treaty would doubtless have read something like the fol lowing: "In case the Cherokee lands shall hereafter be allotted among the members of said nation it is agreed that as many of the Delawares as are living at that time shall be guaranteed 160 acres of land." The treaty says nothing of the kind. On the contrary it expressly says that each Delaware incorporated by the treat' into the Cherokee nation shall be guaran teed 160 acres of land when the day of allotment arrives. You say that "when a Cherokee dies his lauded interest passes into the common property of the tribe." and infer that the same is true of the Delawares, and in support of your position quote the treaty where it says: "Kdr shall the con tinued ownership and occupancy of said land by any Delaware so registered be interfered with in any manner whatever without his consent, but shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as are by the laws of the Cherokee nation imposed upon native citi zens thereof." The slightest at tention to the language, bearing in mind what precedes and what fol lows, it seems to me will readily convince any one that the above clause refers soley to the tenure by which the registered Delaware holds his land during the time the lands of the Cherokee nation re main common property that he may sell, trade or abandon his improvements and settle again on other land the same as Cherokees by blood, and had no reference to the property status of the Dela wares on the da of allotment. So far as the Cherokee constitu tion and laws standing in the way of the Delaware view of the treaty, they do not from the fact that when the lands are allotted the constitu tion and laws, as they now exist, will be obsolete there will be a new order of things, not contrary to but in accord with the treaty. There was a valid reason for the clause in the treaty giving each registered Delaware 160 acres of land at the time of allotment. A treaty had been made between the United States government and the Cherokees by which it was agreed that the government might locate friendly Indians on unoccupied lands in the Cherokee nation. It was not known how many would be located within our borders, whether there would be 160 acres per head in the final division or not. The Delawares detired to pay enough money to secure that much land for each regintend Delaware. The Cherokees set the price, the Delawares paid the money and the United States ap proved of the transaction. If it be contended, as has been done, thnt the Delawares paid an insufficient amouni for so much land it may be sufficient answer to refer to the fact that the Shawnees afterwards bought an equal share of land with the Cherokees for a less sum of money than the Dela wares paid, leaving entirely out of the question the S160 each regis tered Delaware paid for the 1G0 acres he is now contending for. The Cherokee-Shawnee sale was made after mature deliberation. Those conducting the negotiations on the part of the Cherokees were eminent in ability. They certainly knew the value of the Cherokee land at that date, certainly were better able to judge of its value then than we are after a lapse of thirty years. The fact that they sold a citizenship in the Cherokee nation for less than the Delawares paid outside of the S160 for the 160 acres in controversy is the strongest corroborative evidence of the justice of the registered Delaware claim. A frequent contributor by the euphoneous name of Too-qua-stee devotes considerable space to the Delaware claim. He is evidently a scholar, and the style and spirit of his articles are in the main fair, but his conclusions are so extra ordinary as to require some notice. I judge he is a lawyer. I do not mean one of nature's handiwork, as the name would indicate, and one therefore who is accustomed to reach conclusions through right and reason, but a lawyer trained in the science of misconstruction a man who is too often called upon to place a good construction on a bad transaction. The ability he possesses to misconstrue an agree ment could only come through thorough training and long exper ience. Too-qua-stee asseris that the Delawares were bound by the treaty under which they came here to lake a specific tract of land in compact form, described by metes and bounds. If 1 know any thing about the import of language the loth article of the treat' of 66, under which the Delawares came to the Cherokee nation, provided two ways in which friendly In dians might be located in the Cherokee nation east of the 96s. One was wherein those locating abandoned their tribal organiza tion, in which case they were to become Cherokee citizens and equal in every respect with native Cherokees, which carried with it the right to locate on any unoccu pied land east of 96 . The other was where the located tribe did not abandon its tribal organization, in which case a distinct territory was to be set off by metes and bounds. The Delawares camo in under the first provision and as a consequence had a right to locate on any unoccupied land east of the 96. The language of the agree ment on this point is so conclusive that it appears strange that any one ever took a different view of the question. In the first place they were to be on equal terms in every respect with native Chero kees. Then they were to locate on lands anywhere east of the 96 not already in possession of others. And the plural is invari ably used in speaking of the selec tions, which would hardly have been the case if it had been the intention to restrict the Delawares to a distinct body of laud. It is hardly within the limits of reason to suppose that the Cherokees and Delawares would have made the agreement they did if it was con trary to treaty stipulations, or that the government would have ap proved of it after they had made it. One thing is certain, the Dela wares understood the agreement to give them the right to locate on any unoccupied lands east of the 96s not already in possession of other parties, for from the first they settled wherever fancy dic tated It is highly probable that the Cherokees so understood it or they would from the beginning have restrictcel the Delawares to a given quantity of land in compact form.

About an acre and o half of ground in Chelsea, which has been used for the past 20 years by V. J. Bull, the or chid grower and nurseryman, has been sold and is to be built upon. The piece of ground possesses n history, and no ordinary one, for it is part of the site of old Cremorne. What recollections must rise in the minds of those who knew London and were acquainted with London 20 or 25 years ago at the mere mention of the word Cremorne! It is strange that there should be no book dealing with this place, in which was reflected for 30 years that which was universally known ns "London life." The doings at the gardens dur ing these years must provide ample ma terial. It was in 1843 that Cremorne was first opened as n place of entertain ment. The programme was always a varied one, and the clement of sensa tion was always in request. Balloon ing was the venture which never ceased to attract, for it was conducted in those days with more than the ordinary amount of danger. The number of hair breadth escapes run by the aeronauts was fearful. One would come to smash at Walthamstow one day; another would go for n little trip to Kent and alight with more celerity titan grace on the green of some sleepy village. Cremorne had many managers, but the one remembered best is Baum. During his r;egime the place attained a great reputation. No money was spared to provide attraction, and it is certain that the people who went there enjoyed themselves to their hearts' de sire. Any evening Cremorne was worth n t isit. but the time to see it at its best was after some great event, such as the boat race or the Derby. "What a night!" might have been said w ith good reason then. There was a leaven of what is cnrnivalesque about it; there was an extra fastness in the fun; anunusual spirit of gayety abroad. License for extra time had been grant ed and fresh arrivals came pouring in until a very late hour. The theaters and music halls all sent their audiences flown. Cremorne acted as a focus, so to speak, and centralized nil the scat tered rays of revelry of the metropolis. Clubites hircd'eabs and made their way down to the gates with all possible speed. The end of Cremorne was in 1877. First of ail, some one libeled Mr. Baum about the gardens, and there was an action. Mr. Baum got one-fourth pence and had to pay ids own costs. A few months later Mr. Baum made an appli cation for the renewal of Ins licence, but the number of people who gave no tice of opposition was so great that Mr. Baum withdrew and thegardens peace fully expired. Such was Cremorne, and r.owthp last remnant reminding one of its former glories is to be swept away. London Mail. WOMEN TOURING ALONE, American When a Source of Vt'.indcr ment to 1'orelKn Sitter. Among Europeans of what are called the upper clashes much surprise is con stantly expressed at the freedom with which American women trael unes corted through Europe. A recently re called American minister to a continen tal court was once asked by a court official: "Iiaf American wifes no hus bands at all, then? They come three, four, six at once to court. They ask to be presented to the king; they ask to be invited to state dinners; they must walk in mit a duke. There arc not ilukes enough to go round. Why do not their husbands come and walk in mit some duchesses?" At the Austrian court no Americans outside of the diplo matic circle are presented; very few at Berlin; while Queen Margherita of Italy, who has been more hospitable to our people than any other continental sovereign, has recently declined to re cehe any married woman unaccom panied by her husband. "Have they no homes in their own country, these poor ladies? atked a French woman, that they spend months or years in Europe, wandering about alone?" It was ex plained to her that American men often remained at home, earning the money .necessary to send their wives and daughters abroad for the education which foreign tratel gives. "If that be so," she replied, "they will study art and languages hard, so as to return quickly to those uho work for them. They will not buy costly clothes nor push their way into every court in Eu rope." Chicago Chronicle. Tlic IlrltiHh Arno'n It r tired I.Imi.

Congressman Cliarap Clark Contributes to the Praise of the Nation's Educators. Last week while the Loud bill vras mi in the house of renresenla- itives Chamn Clark spoke of the country editor thus: "Thomns Jefferson declared he j would rather live in a country with newspapers and without a govern ment than in a country with a government but without newspa pers. "Having once been a country editor myself, I entertain a most kindly feeling for my old confreres. I am willing to make affidavit that the eleven months I spent editing a rural journal were the most bene ficial of my life to myself and per haps others. I am proud to have belonged to the editorial guild. I am unalterably opposed to any thing that will injure the country editor, curtail his profits, circum scribe his usefulness or place an additional Ihorn in his pathway. "Tho rural editor God bless him is the most persistent of teachers. Like Charity, as de scribed by St. PkuI in the thir teenth chapter of First Corinthians he 'Miffereth long and is kind,' which cannot be said of the men that got up this bill. He 'vaunt eth not himself' in which he is un like the leaders on the oilier side of the house. He 'is not puffed up' iu which he does not resemble a good many of us. He 'does not behave himself un seemly; seeketh not this own; is not easily provoked.' In this re spect ho docs not at all resemble my friend from California (.Mr. Loud). (Laughter.) " 'He thinketh no evil,' in which he is vastly superior to a great many of us; 'rejoiceth not in ini quity,' in which he is totally un like the republicans (laughter); 'but rejoiceth in the truth.' which proves that he is cousin german to the democrats. (Applause). " 'He beareth all things, hopelh all things, endureth all things,' and in that respect he is verv much in the predicament ol the minority of this house under the Reed rules. (Laughter). "He is the pack horse of every community, the promoter of every laudable enterprise, the worst under-paid laborer in the vineyard. Counting his space as his capital he give,s more to charity, his means considered, than any other mem ber of society. He is a power in politic.', a pillarof the church, and a leader in th crusade for better morals. He is pre-eminently the friend of humanity. "He joyfullv chronicles our ad vent into this world, briefly notes our uprisings or donrn settings, and sorrowfully records our exit. "He is the greatest and most ingenious of manufacturers; for. while others manufacture perish able stuffs, he is engaged in manu facturing stratesmen out of raw- sometimes verv raw materials, an industry which even the Din gley tariff cannot protect. He is to our virtus very kind and to our faults a little blind." Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. C.
