thing more than suspicion. Representative
Bailey Of Texas-whose district borders en-
Indian Territory, and whose constituents
are to very considerable extent person
ally interested in the throwing open of the
territory to white settlers-told Star re-
porter of his deliberate belief that 1.-The
exaggeration of the lawless and ungov-
erned condition of that territory Is made
for a purpose" the idea being that by con-
slant charges of unhindered lawlessness
Congress will be moved to take possession
of the lands and, after selling them, turn
over the proceeds to the persons who now
hold them. To such a program as this
Mr.. Bailey very pluckily objects. He said
yesterday: IT have always insisted that
Congress would have no more right to re-
quire the Indian tribes to sell their surplus
lands than 1t would to require a man who
owned two-acre lawn in the middle of a
city to subdivide 1t and sell 1t to persons
who wanted building lots in that particular
section" In this age-selfish and material
though 1t may belt is almost certain that
no Congress could be found to deal so
unjustly with a comparatively helpless
people as these agitators would like to
have Congress do with the legitimate in
habitants of Indian Territory.

Mr.. Thomas c. Plat of New York is
generally credited with being at the head
of the republican machine" of New York
state, and he was undoubtedly the ruling
spirit in the recent campaign, as far as any
one human agent could be such. But the
results of the battle of the ballots waged
two weeks ago are such as to indicate that
the democrs tic party would have been de-
feated had there been no management or
Organization" or boss" If you please.
There was great tide of political resent
ment that found vent in an enormous ma
jority against the bossism of Tammany.
Was 1t particularly in favor of Mr.. Plat
and his own system of bossism? That is
not likely. But Mr. Plat is a boss, never
theless, and he now has the good fortune
to be on the same side as the public, In
stead of being the target. This time it is
Mr.. Croker who is the object of popular in
dignation, but too-confident organization
such as that which Mr.. Plat may yet
succeed in effecting may at some future
day be struck quite as lard as was the
tiger. Therefore, 1t behooves Mr.. Platt to
do less talking of the sort that Is now be-
ing accredited to him. as to his preferences
for the presidency. In one sense, Mr.. Plat
has a perfect right to tell people which
candidates he will not support, and which
others he favors. That is the inalienable
privilege of the citizen and the voter. But
Mr.. Plat is too much identified with the
machine. of the republican party to be talk
ing in this vein now. Some one is sure to
spring up and say that this savors of boss
ism and autocratic dictation, that it has
the odor of the tiger-the hateful smell
that New York is just getting out of her
nostrils. Then 1t will be In order for Mr..
Platt to do less announcing, less confiden-
tial talking about what the republican
party of New York will do and will not do,
what it wants and does not want

An Inconsistent Action,

From the Washington Times.
The Washington Board of Trade is Cup
posed to have at heart the material inter-
estS of this city. Changing admins ira tions
and the consequent shifting of government
employees continuously act against these
material interests. Why. then, did the
board of trade refuse a resolution of sup
port to civil service reform? The large
majority of business men of the District
are unqualifedly in favor of the stable
citizenship and steady business life which
will surely result from the merit system
in government service. Arguments in favor
Of such a system are so manifestly I'M
answerable that their repetition seems like
a useless statement of axioms. Then, why
should these business men refuse TO do.
collec tiy ely, what they have already done
individually? The handspring of personal
act is supposed to rest in the hope of future
benefit. The same is true Of the action of
a municipality. Herein is the practical basis
for WaShington's commentator of civil
service reform. But leaving this selfish
motive out of the question. the civil service
should be extended because of the enor-
nous evils resulting from the spoils sys-
tenn in national and municipal government.
This is the ethical basis. A greater ma
terial Washington and a purer political
Washington-this Is the promise of civil
service reform, and a promise capable Of
fulfillment, provided a few short-sighted
members of the board of trade do not stand
in the way.

1t is to be expected that a great many
persons belonging to the dominant race
will disagree with the facts made plain in

that is being made to force the United
States to break its contract with the civil
lied tribes of Indian Territory by COM
Polling the legitimate holders of that last
refuge of the best of the red men to dis
pose of their interests to the unreasoning
white man, who never has been and never
can be satisfied. For some time past-two
or three years probably-there have issued
from sources that are not above suspicion
streams of conversational and reading mat
ter which Indicate the existence within the
territory of a state of affairs not to be
tolerated by any civilized country. Once
in a while a word or two of denial or pro-
test would be heard. but as a general thing
the stories Of murder and outrage and rob-
berry were accepted as true. or late
though, the output Of the deramatory
bureau has been extremely heavy, and
while some people may have imagined
that the conditions in Indian Territory
were rapidly becoming worse. there has
entered into the minds of others some
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1894-11-19

The futility, or. at least. the impotence
OF the present contract labor law, which
came In for such a season Of attention a
few weeks ago, when the case Of Mr.. Nor
tons coachman was under consideration,
Is again illustrated by the arrival in New
York of Henry Elliott Augustin Days
property man, who was deported some
months ago. Elliott was brought over here
by DAILY from London. in recognition Of
his superior qualities In his line of bus
mess. Mr.. DAILY thereby declared that he
had found on the other side a man who
could not be equaled on this side. The
public has no right to decide whether or
not SIr. DAILY told the truth or was merely
making capital out of the importation.
The law. with its eccentric machinery
stepped in and prevented Mr.. Daily from
getting the benefit of Elliott's services by
declaring him to be a 'laborer'' within the
meaning of the contract labor law, and
sending him back to England. Now Elliott,
acting on his right to come to America as
an individual. has returned to these shores.
On being questioned at the immigrant sta
ton he has declared that he Is an i'm
migrant. coming here as thousands of
others come, to seek his fortune. He has
therefore been allowed to land, and doubt
less by this time he and Mr.. DAILY are in
business relations quite as close as those
that they enjoyed before the recent farce
of deportation was enacted. 1t cannot be
that such law will be respected and
obeyed. when II presents such an enor-
nous loop-hole for avoidance. The expert
ence of DAILY and Elliott will doubtless fur
nish those desiring to avoid the statute
plenty of hints, and perhaps Congress may
be called upon by Treasury officials at no
far distant date to strengthen the law or
to repeal 1t as now absurd and practically
impossible of enforcement

The Talker.

Day after day. year after year. .--.'
The echoes pulse to his tireless voice;
In vain are your efforts not to hear:
He doesn't give you the slightest choice.
Like the sail that beats on the wrecks
gaunt mast,
His larynx flaps in the endless rush
OF air from his brazen lungs, a blast --
That ruthlessly startles some sacred hush.
Like the waves that dash on the trembling
sands,
Endless as time in their dreary roar. .-r"-
His flow of language the place commands;
Thoughts flee like birds from the storm
swept shore. ..-. ..,.l-.
But Justice is sure; supreme though slow.
Perhaps, midst the outcast souls some
day,
A demon will fix him in voiCeless woe,
While another bore tauntingly has his
say.
