We all wish to know that the boys in blue are thrns-hing Uie savages', just as they thrnshed the Spaniards' and it is a proverb that a good Indian is a-'dead Indian. At thesuine time the thoughtful man must pause to wonder whether there is not something wrong with a system which has utterly iailocl after a hundred years to reclaim the handsome North American aborigine from the shiftless and cruel habits of the nomad to the ways of Christian men. recalcitrant Indians assert that they huye been mistreated by commissioners, agents and deputies. An old story, of course, but one which has been repeated so often and so earnestly, vouched for by the blood of the vanishing race, that it now pears the hull mark oi sincerity and truth. Few will Contend that our method of handling, the Indian question' has been a success.

Many contend, and with good show of reason, that the liuhdrpd years, wo hayo been nlloriiatoly pamper ing and -peppering poor Lo complete a century of dishonor. The venal Indian ugoht, the corrupt commissioner and the irresponsible deputy are only intermediate causes, but themgolves the results of political If there is any valno in experience, ff good is to come from our now do-mi nance over island barbarians, we will not follow'tho methods which have failed in a century to civilize or affiliate the savages among us.

He would then garrison all the towns'on or near the reservation and would send out troops to run down and kill all Indians to be found, but unless this is fuund to be absolutely necessary General Bacou postpone any campaign fhat tie may decide to make until winter, when.he can easily transport hie troops over the ico.

To the Citizens of the Creek Nations We, the undersigned citizens of tho Creek nation, being interested itfa wise of the great issue now before the Creek people as to whether we should confirm the Creek agreemenj or not, submit to.your caretul cont'uleration the fol- lowing suggestions: We vviah to point out the differences in a brief forih between tho Curtis bill land Creek should bo strongly opposed to making uny change whatever'in our affairs, if it could be but we are called on the great, authority of the United States lO'ffiako a choice between the Curtis act aud Crook agreement, and recognizing tho fact that we are absolutely compelled to cliooBe-bpUveen Jho two, we submit th'o following vtewa relative to this matter in order that a wise decision may arrived at: The difl'erenccs between the Curtis bill and tho Oreek agreement are substantially as follows: First.

The Curtis bill, Sec. 31, abolishes the tribal courts October 1. The judges and clerks can no act; therefore no future election of council members can take place under tho Curtis law. No'election of chief Can take place, and the Creek nation would be left a governmeis under tho Curtis law. By adop.ting the agreement the government will go on as The judges'ami clerks would hold their places, the council would continue lo ineet, aud the chief exercise hie duties except as modified; by the agreement.

Under the Curtis bill no man would know how uluch land was coming to liiin. Under the ment ho knows'exactly, end does not have to tin any more uncertainty. Under the Curtis bill no.one need expect more than 100 ncres, because this is the amount of land the United always allotment or a homestead, is amount take up all the good land in the Creek nation. Third. Under ihe Curtis uill a man would'lmve no title to his, land.

He would not own the top and bottom, but could only use the surface. And some other man, under a lease from tho Secretary of the Interior, could sink a mine, or bore a gas well' right 1 by the side of his house, or under Ms house, nnd the Greek nation would in a few months'be full of leases witu them hunting every where for miner'als. Under tho agreement he would own both top -arid' bottom, and ho man could 'coiaeon his place without his consent. Under the Curtis bill wlien a man jdie's liis land would c.svert to tho whole people, or to the United States, or to be sold to some sirauger. Under the Creek treaty his land and improve 1 merits would go to his heirs forever.

Underfllie Creek agreement all claims of whatever nature including the "Loyal" Creek claims, the "eelf-enii- gratiqn" cluitas, and claims by the Crcpk nation for damages on account of present violation of treaty or contract under the' Curlis act, together wim all unsettled matters between the Creek nation and tuo United States can bo brought to a prompt settlement by presenting tho same before tho senate of the United States. There aro millions of dollars due the Creeks under the treaties if a fair settlement could he obtained, enough for great per capita payment. Under the Curtis bill there is no provision mado for' settling Indian claims. Under the agreement every claim every kinU and character can Uo-bwught to a settlement. This.is a very important advantage under tho agreement.

In case the agreement is not ratified it is well to see what the effect would be u.nder the Curtis bill: The judges arid clerks and sheriffs would all bo out.of office after the first of October. No further elections could be) held for that reason. Aa soon as the term of office of the 1 principal chief and coQucil expires there would not bo left a single authorized officer of the Creek nation. Tho government of the Creek nation would have ceased to exist. It would tako three years to a judge- moot by tho -supreme court in a suit attempting to declare the Curtis bill to be invalid.

Before that time elapsed the allotinenf would have been made to tUe Cresk in about the same way as the agreement provides, for this is the way the Unit'ed Slates commission thinks. the 'allotment fihobld be made. people would get no title and would have to wait several years to got a title; The Creek people own the lands of the Creek, nation. Congress would probably authorize a vote of the Creek people themselves to confirm the title to al- lo.ment of 100 acres in'the allottees. The title to tho lauds conuot be changed except by a vote of the Creek peo-.

pie, the Oreek government was destroyed and the lands alloted to the.people there is no doubt but what tho Creek people would vote the title in themselves as as they were, authorized to: vote in the mutter. For this reason a suit in tlfo United States court to determine (lie validity or constitutionality of the would be useless. For these reasons it IB phxiu 'thai' 'the-agreement is far preferable to the Curtis bill and ihat.it should be bon- firuuul. Under tliivagrevm'eut we aavo all our, rights, we ttavoour all the-land worth cultivating, and will get enough money for a largo per Capita pay muni, Under IheCiirtis law wo get no titles, the land is subject to further Ittws. we lose tlie fluuicu to collect what duo and wu'lose a Wjt-per capita, that would us iiupru'vo our anil we Kovertiuteut.

Washington, Oct. 11. Tlie Treasury departmeat an opinion just trana- mitted to Secretary Bliss confirms the view of tbe Interior department tbs 1 Congress, by. the Curtis Indian Teirri- tory net, did not intencfto cripple tlie cause of 'Indian education. Tho decis ion is on a question looking to tlie ini mediate relief of the Cherokees.

It is to settle Seuretury Bliss's authoi-ity for making payments of interest moneys aggregating to the Cherokee Kovernrneut. The decision holds that section of the, Curtis act "deals solely with the channel tlirough wliicb payments of money to Iho Five Civilized Tribes are to be made nod that Congress bad no intention that these moneys duei the Cherokees should bo diverted or disposed of otherwiso than as authorized by existing treaties and laws. It is accordingly within, the of the Secretary of the Interior to pay these funds through some Unite'd States disbursing officer for the purpose as authorized. The change that appeal's to be co; templated bv the act, is a tubstitu'ioi of a disbursing officer by- the Unitec for the treasury of the Indiai nation, q.i;irin(r' nil white men marrying a Cliii'kaauw woman to pay licuuao of 000 If tho. territory don't let u'p on Curtis, law, little Curtis will deny uutliorsliip.
