The troops sent to the Hills to punish the
Indian raiders have reached their destina-
tion. But the Indian raiders, strange to re-
mark, did not wait for them and will, by
their ssgacious retreat to unknown regions,
escape punishment for their deeds. The
proper thing for the government now to do
is to leave these troops in the Hills where
they can be made available next time they
are needed.

The subject Of having the trlDes in the
Indian territory represented in congress by
delegate has been occupying the attention
of the Indian affairs committee of the house
of representatives. 1t is argued, says the
Chicago Times correspondent, in favor of
the proposition that the Indians, having NO
one to speak for them officially, are made
the prey of interruptions attorneys and
claim agents. To such an extent have these
rascalities upon the Indians been carried on
that it is almost impossible to obtain justice
at the hand of congress in the proper recoge
milton of claims coming from Indian terri
tory. Hence the importance, It is argued,
of having delegate on the floor of
the house Whose duty it will be TO- look
after their interests and protect proper
claimants from the rascalities of profession
al lobbyists. The committee haye weighed
these arguments, and will, at the opening
of congress. report bill providing for the
election of delegate from 1ndi,6 territory,
who will have like powers and privileges
with the delegates of other territories. In
opposition to the measure it is doubted by
some whether the Iadians will fare as we'll
with delegate as with the Indian commit
tee, whose duty it now is to look after their
interests. 1t is questioned whether the In.
dian committee will take as much interest
in the affairs of that territory when its in.
terests are represented by delegate.

Of the average congressional investigation
may be quickened little IN the case now
pending, wherein the United States is en-.
deavoring to ascertain whether or not
Mexican citizens are numbering American
citizens on the Texas border. The weight Of
the telegraphic testimony from the scene Of
the troubles favors the supposition that the

upon Americans by foreign invader. and
that the foreign invaders got the best of
their opponents by several valuable lives.

Of alleged informality Of the poll one,

Argument Opened by aittcheII, ana
Continued by Kelly, jerks ana Law
renee.
The commission was called / order
by Justice Clifford, and the papers sub
mitted by the president Of the Senate
read and filed.
Senator Mitchell opened In short
speech as an objector of the Repub-
lican side. His argument was based
OH the ground that Cronin had not
been appointed an elector, and that
Watts was the true representative Of
the sentiments Of o majority of the
people of Oregon.
At the close Of his speech recess
was taken.
The commission was called to order
again at ten minutes past two, and
Senator Kelly proceeded to submit his
objection to certificate No. !. He said
he presumed that there would not be
dispute of the third objection, viz;
That Watts was postmaster, and they
were prepared with proof to sustain
the allegation, and that 1t was an Office
of profit and trust the constitution was
as clear as language could make 1t.
Mr.. Kelly argued that Watts was
not qualified on the It'll of November,
when the election took place. He
could not be elected at any subsequent
election. In the Vermont case, he
said, the Legislature was convened,
and had decided that Solace, being
postmaster, was Federal officer, and
consequently ineligible, and had filled
the vacancy. The Rhode Island
Legislature had taken similar view
and filled vacancy In like manner.
He contended that the States had the
power to enforce the provisions
of the constitution, and that IL
the State of Oregon had excluded in
eligible electors she had but done her
duty. He contended that by the con.
stitution and laws of Oregon the per-
son receiving the highest number of
votes was entitled to be declared
elected. The election was by law re-
quired to be held on November Z, and
there was not time to hold a second
one, neither was such q subsequent
election authorized.
AT the close of Senator Kelly's argu-
ment Congressman jerks spoke in be.
half of the Democratic objection and
Representative Lawrence In behalf OF
the Republicans.
