manslaughter, and minor ofe1ses
about one fifth were Indians.
The motives disclosed for the perpetua-
ton of crime were about the same in the
case of the Indians as of the whites con-
victed. Whisky is the direct cause of much
crime among the Indians, as we'll as among
the whites. The Territory is place of re-
fuge for escaped criminals from the States,
who seek it as a region where they can easily
hide. The reputation of the Territory has
to suffer because of their misdeeds as
we'll as for their bad example upon the In
dams. Still crime, especially of the higher
grades, is decreasing. The law is vigorously
executed in the United States courts, and
many of the Indian courts show great
energy in the enforcement of the local
laws. Several of the tribes have each code
of laws, which provides for the punishment
of all otfenses against person or property
among themselves. Although these state
ments do not harmonic with those of inter-
ested persons who represent that anarchy,
lawlessness and violence reign supreme in
the Indian Territory, yet, as made by a
Judicial officer of high reputation, who must
necessarily be well-informed as to the con-
dition of affairs there, and who can have no
motive to misrepresent it, they deserve gen.
eral attention. One fact, which is matter
of record, is especially significant. Only
one-ffth of the murders and other crimes
are committed by Indians, though the latter
outnumber the whites ten to one. Another
fact which is equally significant is that
property and life are more secure in the In.
dian Territory than they are in Arkansas
and Texas.

LIFE ON THE FRONTIER.

Isaac g. Parker, judge of the United States
for court the western district of Arkansas,
which for judicial purposes includes the IT.
dian Territory, has recently made visit to
Washington. He says that the observance
of law and the security of life and property
in the Indian Territory is more favorable
than in Arkansas or Texas. Judge Parker
saws that the civilized tribes have local courts,
and the uncivilized have rude way of in
flicting punishment upon offenders; that in
about three years there have been thirty con-
victions for murder, about the same number
for manslaughter, and about $50 for minor
offenses, chiefly larceny, assault with intent
to kill, violating the internal revenue law,
and smuggling liquor into the Territory. OF
