Four thousand eight hundred and seventy

Kinds with regard to buildings were ex-
ecIted during the year.
The inspection work of this office is of
the utmost Importance TO the general pub

FULLY drawn building regulations it is i'm
possible to obtain good safe and SUBJ

close inspection of all buildings under con-

world. The Indian citizen at this
day and date, who has the audac-
ity to declare that there is no mo-
ncpoly Of land and that the Indian
government is not corrupt, pro-
claims himself falsiiier, and all
the world, at home and abroad
recognizes him as such. The only
wrong the United Suites govern
nent has ever done the
Indians OF the FIVE tribes
was in standing by for SO many
years and allowing them to pillage
each other. Such wholesale rob.
berry should have been stopped
long ago. The system of land in
common has been prolific Of pred
atory statesmen whose business il
has been to hold the Indians land
for him, and to squander his means
in their own individual protection,
and the existence of the large com.
mon fund TO-. draw upon annually
has bred a horde of plundering
buccaneers.

A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL.

II there is any one class Of citi-
zens in the Cherokee nation, or in
the five tribes, that are RESPONSE
BILE more than any other class for
the present condition and pros
poets of the Indian it is the very
class that is doing most to thwart
the Dawes commission in its work
here. The men who are guilty Of
monopolising the common domain
of all these tribes are the fellows
who are opposed to a division.
Every honest man will be willing
to say that the purposes Of the
Plat bill are certainly good. 1t
seeks to stop monopoly of land in
this country by not allowing any
citizen to hold more nor less than
his share. But we see the delega.
tions from all the tribes standing
as one man solidly against the
Plat bill and tie Choctaw agree
ment. A few people, citizens of
the Cherokee nation in particular,
began to protest against the injus-
lice Of the present system few
years ago, feebly at first; then
their cry begun to be heard faint-
ly, and by and by the Dawes CON.
mission was sent down here TO in
quire into the matter and see if
there was any truth in the report
that the lands Of the Cherokees
were being monopolized. Their
first report stated that the half had
not been told, and that a few peo-
pie were actually in possession of
the most Of the valuable land OF
the tribe. A howl Of rage went up
from the monopolists, and a few
Indians had no more sense than TO
assist them IN maintaining the
country in its present condition.
The progress made by the Dawes
commission and their friends in
the Indian country has been slow
and tedious enough, but the strug-
gle has been upward, and the cause
winning one.
The only thing was to wait and
continue the fight. Falsehood and
Misrepresentation have been the
weapons used by delegation after
delegation, until at last they stand
in the glare Of the light OF events
stripped Of every excuse. The self
ish, sordid sentimentalism Of those
who have claimed TO love their
country, and have proven their de-
votion to II by plundering it has
been held up al last in its true
light and 10 ihe full gaze Of the

UNTIL the public prosecutors Of
the Indian Territory courts find it
incumbent upon themselves to
hunt down and prosecute crimi-

a matter Of grave danger to the

If congress understood fully the
state Of affairs in this country rela-
tive to the courts and court dockets
it might possibly be little slow in
granting the demand for two addi-
iional judges for the territory. 1t
is generally conceded that addi-
tional court facilities are needed,
but sometimes the question arises,
and we are prone to ask each other
how in the deuce Judge Parker
kept so near up with the business
when he had practically the Grim.
inal business o. the whole terrific
ry. ItprobaDly might be of assist
ance in reconciling matters in this
connection to know that Judge
Parker dispatched business very
rapidly when he held court, and
that he held court continuously for
more than four. fiflhs Of the whole
year, and during the nearly quar-
ter OF a century Of his inoumbency
as judge, he never spent a single
summer away from Ft. Smith. He
never had time, and never cried
out for help. A wailing cry comes
up from the wholesale merchants
and jobbers Of Kansas City and st.
Louis that the territory courts are
too slow in making delinquent Gus
toners pay up, therefore more
judges must be appointed. Ten
additional judges working at the
speed of the present ones might
possibly clear the dockets during
the present century, but if they
did it would be necessary to stick
to business.
