WASHINGTON LETTER From oar regular oorreepoodeot Washington June 1 6 i8yo A majority of trie states have been very alow in hononug their favorite sons by jdneing their carved jmages in the gallery of the great at the Capitol It was in July that Congicss passed the law setting aside the old hall of representatives as a (dace might be placed by the states at their own discretion statutes of their most distinguished citizens deceased not to exceed two from each state Up to this time hut ten states have taken advantage of this pnvdcge The rest are stdl un-lepri-Hcuted Rhode Island was the first to place the statutes of two clistiu-guiyjied citizens in this hall For this Jxfiaoririnary honor the selected Nathaniel Greene and Roger Williams and now all Rhode Islanders are excluded from (his hall for the rest of time Rhode quota is filled In 1S7J Connecticut followed the example of Rhode Island and presented Congress with statutes of two of her most distinguished citizens Jonathan Trumbull and Roger Sherman In 1873 New York has placed in statuaiy hall two atatucs one of George Clinton and the other of Robert Livingston Vermont in 1876 presented the statue of Futhan Allen and in 1881 the statue of Jacob Coliamcr Massachusetts has filled her two places with statues of John -Wmthrop and 8am Adams two gentlemen who had something to do with the early history of that State In placed the statue of Robert Fulton in statuary nail and a year lutcr presented one of Muhlenburgh the states man soldier Maine in '78 presented Congress with a statue of William King but has as yet found none to keep him company The statue of YVilliam Allen and James A Garfield represent the human greatness of Onio New Jersey is represented by Gen Kearney Slid Richard Stockton A statue of Lewis Cass was presented by Michigan in and thnt is the last up to date Not a southern state is represented in this hall by a statue but it is the clesiie of Congress that all states should be represented and each state may select those two of its citizens white it most delights to honor Congress has nothing to say about the selection the only requirement being that the man so honored ahall tie a distinguished citizen of the state presenting the statue There can scarcely he a doubt that when Mississippi scuds her two statues one of them will be of Jcffeison Davis and this statue cannot be denied a resting plnce among the rest It is hardly to he supposed that when the southern states begin sending in their statues they will refrain from sending those of the men they most honor because they took part in the rebellion and vethaps were not reconstructed The statues of a number of cx-Confcderatcs are apt to find their way into the statuary linll of the Capitol and to be honored with the est of the great men in marble there There is a good deal of politics being stirred up by the strife over the building of a great armouicd cruiser for the nay for which bids were opened Tucxd l'cnr) Kama vvnnts the contiait very moth and her big men have been hard to get the Secretary of the Navy to award the construction to the Clamps of Yesterday Senator Don Cameron chan man of the naval committee of the upper house and General Wanamaker called on tho 1'usidcnt to urge tins settlement of the case Scott it is said will bring the entire wcstrrn portion of Congress into the field if there seems to be any disposition on the part of tho authorities to settle the case in any other way than upon the merits if the bids themselves 11st now nothing is being done ex-l-pt in the way of wire pulling Member of the House are using great deal of freedom of expression in regard to the Senate -lowing Mr remark that "the Senate would pass any bill at any time on any subject" Mr Springer cbserve "We now enter upon the consideration every weekday of private claims if tlui Senate can keep us supplied with thnt tlnss ot claims or with raw material to work upon I have never known the Senate to be negligent in the passage of claims of this sort It will always meet the rnosT anxious and earnest expectations of all claimants before most sevcie of all is the declaration of Mr Anderson of Ka nsas concerning the antitrust bill namely: "I never yet knew the time wfien the Senate did not get In a little radioad deal somewhcic in a conference report That is hat they are for" If the Senate calmly submits to imputations of Ibis sott'from the co-ordinate branch its boasted dignity is an impenetrable article Vlnila la la have July celebration likewise celebiite a big FiJlirth of Muliliow sill Ily tieaty with the Indian! for the Sac autl Fox react vation 4i3cxo acre of land will be opened to white kettlera The president has aent to Congress message advising the ex tension of the time for which the Cherokee commission was appointed and recommending an additional appropriation to pay its expenses Washington June licit the Assistant Commis ioncf of Indian Affairs will leave Washington July 1 for San Fran cisco where he will superintend the annual letting of connects for Indian supplies which begins July anieu 16 He will be accompanied by Mr Goodwin tleik and by his son In the office That Stomt Danck Last night ami night before the Adama Talk was the scene of an old fashioned stomp dance and quite number of Chcrokecr from Uic surrounding country participated in the fun The custom has just about become extinct and now even many of the full look on it as a novelty Unless one is familiar with the history of the dance it seems a very uninteresting affair but to those who are familiar with the Cherokee language the sentimental and patri otic songs are inspiring to say the least Advocate Washington I June The Seuetary of the Inteiior has received information that piospcc five settlers are making preparations to enter and settle upon land recently ceded to the United States by the Iowa and Sac and Fox tribes of Indians hi the Indian Territory before the articles of cession have been ratified by Con gress The Secretary stated to-duy that until Congress shall have 1 stifled these agreements all settlers will be rigidiy excluded fioni these 'amis and no more premature attempt of settlement on the part of individuals or parties will be toleiat-eJ Talilc(tinh I June Fx-Cliief llusliy bead now a delegate from the Cherokee Nation at Washington regarding the celebrated Watts citizenship case now pending writes in a private letter to prominent men here as follows: The Watts case is in the hards of the Attorney-General for his opinion It was referred to the Secre-ary of the Interior by the Commissioner of Ip'huu Affans with his opinion that the Watts were not entitled to Cheiokee citizenship Wc arc doing all we can to huny a decision I feel satisfied that the decision will be in favor of of the 'Jation'' Albuquerque June 13 A Mojuva Indian saved a wreck and many lives the other evening He was passing "the 111st weal of the great cantilever iridgc when he observed that the earth was tnpidly absorbing water from the liver and that a train if it attempted to past over it would be piu heil headlong into the stream below The faithful fellow ritfld hot speak a word of English but be returned to the bridge in great baste and by signs made known the danger Tram No 1 with its load of passengers would have been over the in half an hour Deputy Maishal Milo Creek mine came i 1 Wednesday with Joe Fish chatged with murder and Ellis Katmgouid charged with inti oducing whisky in the Indian countiy Ratinguurd jumped his bond some time ago Fish tells his own stoiy of the murder charged to him He sacs that on the aSlh of May himself and three other men went walking along the railload just beyond Illinois Station when a white man passed them One of the Jim ty pioposed to rob the man They confionted him and demanded his money He refused to give it up when he (Fish) shot the man three tunes twice in the breast and one Fin the head They took from the body $25 of'wfmh Fish got $6 the balance being divided among the others A few days after the killing Fish says he was sitting on the fence at home after night when he plainly saw the ghost of the man he had killed and he at once told of the killing to a woman ho as in the hmiK sbx- told her husband and he told the They arrested Fish on this information Tuesday night and he related the samestorv to them Coimtig down on the Ham' Wednesday he showed the olluirs the exact soot wheie the killing took place ami where they placed the body It had been taken away however and the olhicis are going back to look it up I ish is a half-breed Cherokee about twenty years of age He says the parties with him in the killing were two white men and an Indian but be docs not know their narilcs It has been said by good authority that few men die of age anj that the majority are victim of cl majority are victim ot disappointment passional mental or bodily tod A large portion of maukiiul wear themselves out by unnecessary excitement This is especially the case in this country in a political aense Take fur example the feverish anxiety and unnecessary excitement of some of our so-called leading men without any reference to the nationals in egarcl to who is best entitled tube our next chief They do not study the best means of prolonging life they are nervous and restless atul cannot wait for the ordinary progress of events They rush on recklessly and imjiaHeiitly become anxious and eager and thus in the ml they will lose their balance they ate not disposed to be calm patient and icAolutc and to pursue air even honest and correct course but they seek to accomplish their ends hy their continual little conno-hunv yelping at Mayes Take for instamc I Roly's good substitute of Council lull No 15 as the Telephone was pleased to call it "Uc it enacted by the National Council that tlj principal Chief he and is hereby ilucrtcd to appoint and commission by and with the dvice of the senate Commissioners to be selected from the two political parties of the nation who shall be and arc requested to meet the United Mate Commissioners and enter into negotiations fur the cession unconditional of the lands of the Cherokee Nation west of provided that no agreement contract or treaty made under the provisions of this act shall be binding upon the Cherokee Nation until it shall have been ratified by the national The bill read "Resolved that in our opinion the National Council in its present condition is not authorized to negotiate tire sale of any of the lands of the Chcrokees to the United States Government without Submitting the same to the Cherokee pcojdfc for their voice on the same" From (his substitute it would scein that lldoly builds upon the pi hi that the people will never look to see what kind of tracks he leaves behind provided he gets thcic also that he holds to the doctrine that the people cannot intelligently discriminate on important question of pyldic interest or be intrusted with the exercise of individual judgment A lack of faith in the pcojile in tnouarehial governments justifies the aurpress-on of freedom of speech hut our little government was founded upon the idea that the jieojde arc capable somewhat of intelligent judgement and that is wherein the Downing party diffeis from the Nationals and thu cats paw men as by these actions you can plainly see that they arc determined the Council instead of the people shall have the finger 4 of the money if the Strip is sold He is the man thaf'thc pcojde want for our next chief

and ei dons contest In releasing the? outlet 1 a sample Since Mr lJushyhead was our Chief our population has vastly increased our lusincs relations both between the Government and ourselves have enlarged almost beyond belief new questions political and national of a magnitude hitherto unknown are constantly unsiiig Then how can vve exjiect to get there if we go on tin- tcioid that this present ad-mmistiation so far has ilia do Mr Ross said at the Illinois picnic that no act of his jiuldic life was ever done from a corrupt motive could he have said so much if he liHcl been a nicmhcr
