CONGRESSMAN LITTLE, of Arkan-
sas, has introduced bill repeating
that part of the Indian Territory
court bill, taking from the Paris
and Fort Smith courts their pres
ent jurisdiction after the first of
September, this year. This juris-
diction embraces felony and liquor
cases. There can be but one rea-
son for such a move, that of mon
ey. OF course, the argument is
made that the territory does not
afford proper men of which to form
juries. There is neither reason
nor sense in such argument, and
there can be but one, that of
money. The court business of the
Indian Territory thrown into these
two towns has been a bonanza,
and they hate to lose it, hence the
congressional strikers take the
matter into congress and make any
pretense to sustain the hasheries
and businesses of their towns to
the detriment and Inconvenience
of another people The expense
to the government under the new
system will be less than a half,
while the inconvenience to the
people will be infinitely less, but
nothing must stand in the way of
these leeches of towns, and these
vampires of congressman. &C Chick :

In legislating upon Territory

IN legislating upon Territory
matters it is of the utmost impor-
tance that the statutes now in force
with regard to the liquor traffic, OF
something better, be incorporated
in the bill. The Judgment of our
legislators has uniformly been that
liquor should be kept from Indians.
The same reason for it will exist
under the new condition as now
exists. The Dawes Commission
will recommend the retention of
this feature of the law, and they
should be sustained by all who
favor it. This is of the greatest
Importance, but it is so little
probable that congress will go
back on its record that but few are
suffering any uneasiness.-South

TIE ARDMOREITE has, from the

law without extending legislation
to a general change of Territory
conditions. The reasons for this
contention have frequently been
stated, and we are proud to say
that very great majority of our
people are in line with us on that
proposition. We do not believe a
complete wiping out of the tribal
governments and the immediate
Inauguration of a territorial gov

the country, while the Importance
of townsite law is too apparent
to warrant opposition, even from
the Indians. Such a law put in

and if possible attained. Prompt,
vigorous and concerted action will
accomplish that desired end.
