INDIAN TERRITORY.
Singular Condition of Affairs Found
by q Senate Committed.


WASHINGTON, May 7.-Senator Teller,
from the committee on the five civilized
tribes of Indians, to-day presented the re-
port of that committee. giving the result
of the recent investigation of affairs in
Indian Territory. The report shows an
anomalous condition of society, and indt-
Gates that many abuses having grown UP
which 1t is necessary should be corrected.
The report gives the Indian population OF
the Territory as 5O,O55, while the white
population, which, when the last census
was taken, was l09, s93. is now estimated
to be 100000 or 100000. In some Of the
agricultural sections there are ten whites
to one Indian, and there are several large
towns, composed wholly of white people.
These whites nave no right to citizenship,
annot become the owners OF land. cannot
send their children to the common schools,
cannot go into the local courts outside Of
the Cherokee nation, and cannot even or
ganize municipal governments, lay out
streets or provide for police protection. The
report takes up all these questions and de-
clares that a remedy must be provided.
The committee finds the judicial system
Of the Territory especially faulty The
courts, and are required to go to the fed
eral courts at Fort Smith, Ark, Paris,
Tex, or the federal court in Indian Ter
IVY ~ ARClAo VA Ch1
in those courts, by reason of the distance
to be travelled and the time consumed. is
enormous. Parties charged with the small
est are often taken over two
hundred miles for trial. The same is true
IN civil suits, however small the sum in
volved. The federal court In the Territory
Is, they say. absolutely the only court of
final Jurisdiction administering justice in
matters, large or small. in a Territory as
large as the State of Indiana for a people
numbering now at least 100000 and rapidly
increasing. Consequently, the dockets of
the court are so overburdened with business
that the prompt disposition of business is
impossible. These conditions result In a
practical denial of justice, except in mat
ters OF paramount Importance, and in these
only after great delay. The criminal busi-
ness OF the Territory is enacted at enor-
nous expense because Of the distance to
be travelled. the smallest cases costing the
government from $500, to $500. The tempta<
ton to arrest persons where the fees are
so and large is greatly increased.
The mmit makes the astonishing state
ment that the expense Of maintaining this
court and OF prosecuting crime in this Ter
ritory is about one-seventE of the judicial
expenditure of the United States because
Of these facts. Such glaring and unbeara-
BILE evils. the committee says, canot be
fully remedied until the question of po-
litical and judicial Jurisdiction shall be
finally changed and a Territorial or State
form of government established.

REV. MR.. RANGER RESIGNS.
He Will Cease to Be Rector of Christ
Episcopal Church.

A rumor was afoat yesterday that there
was to be a change in the rectory of
Christ Episcopal Church and that the
change was the result of a disagreement in
the vestry. The rumor had it that a major
ity Of the old vestrymen had resigned and
that young men were elected in their stead.
This rumor was denied by the rector, Rev.
]. Hilliard Ranger. last night He said there
had been no change in the personnel of the
vestry, and so far as he knew there would
be none. He thought the vestry was har-
monious in all Its actions and was not rent
with a faction.
He said he had rendered his resignation to
take effect Tot later than October. When
asked for the cause of his resignation he
simply said that he desired q change. He
has been in his present charge six years,
and while the church does not require
changes at any stated period, he said he
thought he preferred to change occasion
ally. He thought every member of the YES
try was a personal friend of his and it was
not without some feeling of regret that he
had concluded to make the contemplated
change. He said he had no other location
in view at the present time and could not
tell where he might possibly go from here.
His resignation was handed TO the secre-
tary OF the vestry last Saturday and will
be acted upon at It's next meeting.

that hour the debate degenerated into a

country had been suffering. AT SIP o'clock

but half an hour to-day. and was devoid

General Fry and his ''army" have
marched out Of town, after attracting un-
due sympathy from certain soft-headed peo-
pie. Not one Of the men comprising this
gang of idlers but was able to work, and
not one, if he had shown a disposition to
earn his bread and butter instead of beg
ging ii, but could have found an oppor-
tunity. Possibly they might not have found
the work they thought suited to their re-
spective talents. and the remuneration
might nave been less than was the rule in
more prosperous times. but many thou
sands Of their fellow-citizens suffer precise
sire to throw up their jobs and go tramp
ing about the country asking the public to
provide for their wants. The genuine
American spirit Of independence and self
respect leads men to work for a living at
whatever their hands can find to do, and
to ask no favors while physical strength
lasts. If political conditions, involving in
dustrial and commercial interests, are not
pleasing, they know the remedy lies at the
polls. and proceed to apply it. Men not
willing to observe these methods, and who
undertake to find a short cut to prosperity
at the expense of others deserve no aid or
sympathy. and are unworthy to be called
Americans. The Coxeyites have already
been pretty thoroughly sized up by the
communities through which they pass, and
whatever interest in them was aroused is
dying out. No cause is so absurd but 1t
can find some supporters, but there is rea-
son to believe that the Coxey movement
will not soon be repeated. Its failure to &C
complish even the least of its original pur-
poses and the collapse of the vast plans of
its leaders have made 1t ridiculous and will
deter others from similar undertakings.
