Strict economy is urged upon Congress
In the closing paragraph Of the message.
while the Congress may not find ii an
easy task to reduce the expenses Of the
government, it should not encourage their
increase. These expenses will, in my
judgment, admit OF a decrease in many
branches Of the government without injury

render the continuance Of the system thus
inaugurated practically impossible. Either
by invitation or by consent of the tribal
authorities very large number of white
people have become resident in the terri
tory. Numerous towns have been built,
In which from 500 to 5000 white people now
reside; valuable residences and business
houses have been erected in many of them.
Large business enterprises are carried on
in which vast sums of mo ey are employed
and yet these people who have invested
their capital in the development Of the
productive resources of the country are
without title to the land they occupy and
have no voice whatever in the government
either of the nation or tribes. Their chill
dren, even, have no rights in the schools.
The government, in short, is by an
Indian aristocracy which owes no allegiance
to any power or government except itself.
The commission appointed IN 1898 has
made but slow progress in solving the diff
hcult problems presented. The trusts con-
ferred on these Indian tribes when they
we're established in the territory have been
grossly perverted and the only remedy is
the resumption of these trusts by the gov
eminent which enacted them.
The propo'al to appoint commission of
experts to investigate the exact cause OF
yellow fever, and prevent if possible, the
recurrence of an invasion of the disease,
is endorsed. Paragraphs are devoted TO
the sale of the government interest in the
Pacific railroads. Congratulatory mention
is made of the new congressional library
building.

CIviI Service reform.

During the past few months the civil
service has been placed npon a still irmer
basis of business methods and personal
merit. While the right of our veteran SOL
diers to reinstatement in deserving cases
has been asserted, dismissals for merely
political reasons have been carefully guard
ed against, the examinations for admittance
TO the service have been rendered less tech
nical and more practical, and distinct ad-
vance has been made by giving a hearing
before dismissal upon all cases where in
competency is charged or demand made for
the removal of officials. This order has
been made to give the accused his right to
be heard, but without in any way impair
ing the power of removal, which should al
ways be exercised in cases OF netiicency
and incompetency. Much remains TO be
done to make the system perfect, but it has
the approval of the people, and it will be
the Presidents endeavor to uphold and ex-
tend it.

The Indian Territory.

For number of years past it has been
apparent that the conditions under which

white persons from within their borders,

Congressman Bronssard, the Demo
crat from this distric. that had the
courage and business to vote for the
DiDgley tariff bill thereby showing an
interest with his constituents in the
industries of his district, was in town
Monday. In company with Mr.. Ever
man, chief expert Of the government
Fish commission lie boarded the tug
shamrock and visited the upper
lakes to near Melville. The object is
to have some measure ADOPT
ed to protect the catfish of the bayous
from determination. Mr.. Bronssard
will frame a bill governing the fish
question throughout the State, and
endeavor to have it pass our State
Legislature. This accomplished the
general government will no doubt
render substantial assistance, and per
haps locate a station at our town.
The catfish industry is very Iarge here,
shipments being made throughout the
west even to California. The great
demand has caused thousands of men
to engage IN fishing catfish, and now
they are becoming very scarce, pack
ers being unable to supply the demand.
1t is time for action. and the visit of
our Congressman will no doubt result
advantageously to this section.-
