Two Opinions.

What do the Indians. generally.

Judge c. b. Kilgore yesterday. Wei.
replied the judge, lin my opinion the
Indians care very little abOut the
Dawes commission one way or an
other. They rather dislike any inter

more or less Indifferent a. 10 what
become OF the Dawes bill. True.
they keep sending men To- congress To
influence the defeat OF the measure.

economic move in favor OF the In
dams rights
Judge LewiS. who was sitting by.
remarked: That Dawes commission
and the kicking against il only illus
trates point in human nature. As
IA matter of fact the bill is not u bad
thing for the Indians. and a. some
thing is likely TO be done by congress
sooner or later. il is probably the best
thing for them. but the Kicking, in
my opinion. comes about in this way:
The Indian. like all men, likes cere-
monr and the more dignity Il man has
the more credit he is given for being
wise man. Now. if the members @
the Dawes commission had come 70
the Indian Territory and sent a letter
with big yellow seal on il 20 tie
Indians and informed them that the
commissioners were there. and could

they had hid themselves in some ex-
elusive corner OF the hotel and reQuir-
ed the Indians To have acquired the
right of way TO see him by running
the gauntlet OF half dozen flunkeys
and pOrterS. each of which should
have asked the name. age, condition
and desires of the applicant. the In
dianS would have been awed by the
redtape and would have considered
the Dawes commission great thing,

The refusal Of the house of repre-
sentGtives to pass the Little bill is
an unequivocal demonstration that
congress and the administration have
a well defined policy for tha adiuss-
ment of affairs in the indian Terri

dog in the manager policy that our
friends, the enemy, in Arkansas and
Texas have heretofore pursued.

The defeat Of the Little bill Is worth
much TO the people of the Indian
Territory. It viii not now hc qucs-
toned hut that the act of fSgi CON
lvring complete jurisdiction upon the
United States court Of this territory
will become operative September /.
with complete jurisdiction, in my
opinion, much good will result To- both
the Indians and the United States
citizens. Those accused OF crime
have no right to complain Of this
lange; the innocent will thereby
vindicate their innocence and the
guilty can not escape punishment by
means Of pcriured witnesses. whose
reputation in n foreign court can not
be easily ascertained. Complete
jurisdiction viii improve society,
bring the Indians and whites close
together and not only benefit the
federal judiciary, but suggest to the
Indian an Improvement in his own
judicial affairs. With a good town
site law added TO the jurisdiction OF
the courts, personally 1 do not care
for any other change for long time
TO come. Am willing for the Indian
to figure out his own plan OF allot
ment.

ceivea nm Adverse REPORT oil the Measure
from Secretary Smith.
l. WAsmIyGToN, Jan. 22-The house
committee on public lands has re-
ceived from Secretary Smith strong
adverse report against the free home
stead bill. The bill absolves all per-
sons completing five years residence
on the lands taken and occupied under
the homestead laws from making
further payment to secure their title
other than the fees incident to fling
and obtaining proof. The measure is
q sweeping one, and land officials esti-
mate its passage would involve at least
$50, 00O, 900 of cost to the government
and $4,000, 600 in Oklahoma alone.
This Is the amount paid to the In
dams for the REIMBURSEMENT of their
lands there.
Large tracts OF land have been &C.
quired through purchase from In
dams For some Of these lands the In
dams have already been paid by the
government, and for other portions the
government is still responsible. There
are also abandoned military rcserva-
tions involved which have become val
liable because of their location, usually
in settled communities, and persons
entering them had q distinct under.
standing that they were to pay GER
thin price per acre.
