The Ratio Of Appointments.

10 the Edltor OF Inc Evening star:
The table printed July II giving the
ratio Of appointments" In the Interior
Department plainly Indicates "a cat in
the meal Sc ok, % but the cat is neither the
Honorable Secretary nor his assistants in
appointing. Any one WHO has had living
experience in those states and territories
which show an excess. and who Is at all
familiar with the departments in Wash
ington. can readily account for such ex-
cess. and from personal observations, 1 be-
heve the following to be a pretty correct
statement OF the case. 1t must be remem-
bered that these excuses are the results of
time, and not of recent appointments. Pass
ing Tor the present the District Of Column
bia, and the states of Maryland and Viz
ginia, II will be seen that all of the states
ana territories having excess of ap-
pointees lie west of the Mississippi and
that the percentage increases as the west
ing. The territories generally have a great
er excess than the states, but where a
state Is high, that state was a recent ter
ritory. or has present conditions of popula-
ton, settlement, etc, that are territory like
Utah is the only territory having a de-
felt. OF the appointees accredited to those
states and territories having an excess 1t
is within the bounds of truth to assert,
though, from the nature OF the case hard
to prove, that fully 80 per cent are not
bona fide residents. They nave simply
claimed such residences because, too often,
the appointing power naQ not the knOWl-
edge to check them to the contrary, as he
would have in cases of the older settle
ments. Twenty-Five per cent more consists
OF those roaming. unsettled spirits who
could find no congeniai abiding place in
the newly opened territories. The remain
der are appointees who are residents of
the places from which they hail.
Utah is an exception to the excess side;
first, because some Of her Mormon usages
have rendered her name an unpopular
ShibbOleth' with which to juggle in
Washington and second. because her resi-
dents are largely of the Woodworking.
honest, plodding kind. who are content to
stay at home.
The large excess Of the District of Coluni-
bia, Is In a sense, more apparent than real.
The mass of appointees charged to It, GER
tainly the older ones, came from elsewhere
to serve the government They bought
homes, lost interest In their, old places, and
like honest men, at the next registration,
gave the District of Columbia as their resi-
dence. This same cause also accounts for
the excess of Maryland and Virginia, large
ly; while their balance Is readily explained
by their contiguity to the United States
capital.
AS such 1t Is all. right, and the District
should always have a large excess in all
Of the departments. Otherwise the ap-
portionment must be to the letter. and the
government must furnish barracks for its
employees. .t NOSNIBOR.

Below We publish in full Governor
Wolfe's message to the ChicEasaw
legislature which is now. in session at
Tishenlingo. 1t speaks for itself.
Here II; is:--
TtsHoMINdo, l.. T., Jan, rs, 1894
To the Senate and Houfc of Repre-
sentatives of the Clickasag Nation:
Our Heavenly Father has watched
over. the people Of the Chickasaw
Nation and has spared the members
OF your honorable bndies to- meet
once more al the capitol to look after
the welfare o. the Chickasaw people,
aud am happy 10 meet you all.
There is great question being agi-
tated throughout the United States
upon Which depends the very exist
enceof the five civilized tribes.
The policy advocated almost uni
Versaliy by the press in the territory
as we'll us abroad is calculated to do
our nations grieVOus harm. This
question lis allotment and statehood,
and it should be strenuousiY opposed
by each of the five tribes, to the end
that we may retaiu our tribal form OF
government and the holding Of our
lauds in common as it is today.
- l now rec 1mmend to your honora-
bic body that you pass law proNid-
ing for the election of two delegates
to attend to all the business pertain
ing to the welfare of The ChickGsaw
i people at Washington.
l further recommend that yCur
honorable body investigate law that
was passed by the legislature at lis
last session 10 provide for the cdpca-
tiOn of certain of the Chickasaw ch J.
dren, by which lazy AL apl roprist tirn
was made which was considered to
DE sufficient for their education and
erudition. From the complaints that
have since been made to me, it ap
pears that the amount appropriated
has proven entirely Insufficient, and
the mntter is submitted 10 YOU for
your consideration.
To further call the attention Of
your OnOrable body to the pressir g
neccssiiy of new capitol builiny at
Tishomingo. In this connection YOU
have to consider our present indebt-
edness and decide whether to mcl ease
1t for the purposes mentioned.
1t is for the consideration of these
three questions that have convened
tho legislature in extra session.
