PRESS COMMENTS.
lDcDIOrable,

A condition so revolving in its char
acter as to render it beyond the tolerance
of decent society has come to the surface
within the past few days, although 1t has
been known by some for several months
past. At this time the Southwest Sen
tinel is not disposed to censure the par
ties who are indirectly responsible for
this terrible state of affairs. There is a
female inmate of the county Jail whe has
been held under charge of insanity for
over year and whose condition WAS SO
frightful that it was necessary to confine
her IN one of the more obscure cells of
the Jail because of her rawlings and the
fact that it was impossible to keep
any clothing upon her. However, NO
fears were entertained as to the possible
re. ults which are now manifest. Although
this woman is a DOM plete object of aver
sion and loathing and would attract no
other than brute and monster in human
form, yet the fact remains that she is dis
closing condition which proves that
our county jail has not only contained
felons but human animals of tho male
persuasion. In about three months this
poor female lunatic will become mother.
Who, of even the widest imagination,
could depict spectacle more deplorable
than this!
The Sentinel has repeatedly urged the
necessity for suitable asylum accommo-
dation for the insane OF the territory, but
to the disgrace of New Mexico this has
not been provided. Such terrible thing
as this which has now occurred would
not have come about if the territory had
taken care of all its insane. A raving
lunatic can not be kept In hospital
where nervous and feeble sick need quiet
and safety. A prison cell is on the face
Of it unsulted but in default of an asylum
where these poor creatures could and
should be kept, it is perforce used. The
terrible results which, however, may fol-
low this course are but too horribly shown
in this case.
1t is folly to say that the county could
have done something more than it did.
The county has not even paid for the in
adequate accommodation it was able to
provide, and is without money to do any
thing better. 1t is the duty of the terri
tory to take care of its insane and this
terrible thing has resulted because it has
failed in it's duty. The people will de-
mand from the coming legislature that it
provide sufficient asylum accemm oda-
ton for all the unfortunates in the terri
tory, and revision of the rules of the
present asylum whereby paupers and
friendless insane are refused the care that
could and should be given them. Silver

BALLOT REFORM.

While discussing the bject of ballot
reform let us not be carried away with
the idea, now very much in evidence in
many parts of the territory, that the Aus
traian system is going to serve, if adopt
ed by the legislature, to cure all the evils
the present elective methods are fraught
with. We opine that, when the legisla-
ture gets into the matter, it will be found
that the enactment of some simple law
having for its object the suppression of
vote selling and buying will be about as
far as it will care to go into the subjec
this winter.
Congressman Coombs, of Brooklyn, the
father of ballot reform in New York,
points out some defects in the Australian
system. He says it is too cum bersome
and slow. In New York, at the recent
election, each voter received seventeen
different ballots which he was equired to
assert and arrange in the polling booth.
Thus even the more intelligent voters
were required to consume from six to
ten minutes time, and thereby thousands
of qualified voters we're unable to reach

THE INDIAN TERRITORY SITUATION.

The condition of matters fer months in
the Indian Territory has been such as to
inspire the disgust of every lover of law
and order in America. Bands OF outlaws,
under the leadership of the Cook and
Dalton families and other similar charac-
tiers, have sacked towns, robbed residents
and pillaged railroad trains in the very
shadow of populous settlements; and yet
the hand of the law has been so power
less that the perpetrators of these and
other similar crimes have de6ed the at
tempts of peace officers and laughed at
the mpotent rage of their victims. This
condition of things is in the main the
| result of the terms of treaties made years
ago between the five so-called civilized
Indian nations, the Cherokees, Creeks,
Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles on
the one hand and the government on the
other. These treaties give the tribes
named the possession of certain extensive
and valuable lands for their sole aud ex-
elusive use, with full Jurisdiction over
members of their tribes and their proper
ty within the limits named. Under these
treaties Attorney General Oney has ruled
that the government has no right to send
her troops into the tribal domain, except
in case of trouble between the tribes.
There ia thus in the heart of the American
nation an empire of riot and crime which
the government can not, under present
| circumstances, annihilate.
This shameful condition of things calls
for prompt action on the part of congress
at its coming session. As the Indians
have hagrantly violated the terms of the
treaty by allowing to come in, secure a
foothold and obtain land among them,
these treless esperadoes, it is time that
the government should abrogate treaties
heretofore made and rescue this portion
of our nation from the destructive blight
of vandalism. Several of the congress
slonal committees appointed in past years
will report to the present congress as to
the deplorable state of things and it
is stated that Sec. Hoke Smith will devote
large part Of his annual report to this
inject. 1t seems therefore practically
certain that congress will take appro-
pirate action in the premises; and it is
probable that the result will be the ad-
mission of the state of Oklahoma with an
area covering the present territory bear
ing that name and the greater part of the
present Indian Territory. The Indians
of the five tribes would then be given
lands in severalty sufficient for their sup
port, under conditions more consistent
with the peace of the section in which
they live. Whatever may be the outcome
of the present complications it seems
certain that any change would be an i'm
provement on the existing conditions.
America is too typical of civilization to
countenance for any length of time such
an orgy of outlawry and shameless crime;
and congress should do its duty promptly
and fully.

the booths at all. Congressman Coombs
adds: II was among the first and fore
most advocates of the Australian ballot,
and helped to make the first draft of a
bill for it. The present law, however, is
defective. A voter may go into booth
and occupy it for hours to the exclusion
of other voters, and there is no remedy,
because it would be violation of the law
to disturb or remove him. In one case at
the recent election a voter thas occupied
the booth for two hours and a half" So
it happens that, after all, the Australian
method is not what it is cracked up to
han
