The matter of the incor

THE matter of the Incorporation
of the city of Vinita under the
Arkansas statutes is a fruitful sub
ject of discussion now-a -a-days.
Some of our people favor speedy
action along this line, and il is
said are now taking steps looking
to the early incorporation of the
town. Among The better element
of the town, however, there seems
undoubtedly TO be a strong senti-
ment in favor of remaining for the
present as we are. 1t is more
and more apparent every day that
the town is better governed than
ever befole in its history, and that
those who are urging the immedi
ate organization of the town are
moved by sinister motives. 1t
should be the desire of every resi-
dent of the town to do everything
possible for the advancement of lis
interests, material and moral. The
people of Viniia are entitled to a
decent city government, and it
should be kept out Of the hands Of
the drinking, gambling, immoral
and irresponsible element. 1t is a
good time for the property owners
and substantial classes to wake up
and see tha; no fatal mistake is
made.

At the Thursday meeting Of the
Indian affairs committee Judge
Little called up his bill granting
the Indian Territory a delegate in
congress. His hope was to get the
committee to take direct action on
it This was prevented, however,
by Mr.. Curtis of Kansas, who
moved to refer the bill to a sub
committee. The subcommittee
will be appointed in a few days,
and will be composed of Messrs.
Curtis, Fisher and Little. While
the matter was up some good ma
tured political thrusts were in
dulged in by Messrs. Curtis and
Little.
"This is just democratic trick
of yours to get another representa-
tive in congress-" observed Curtis
to Little. There are about 400,-
00O people in that country, and
something like 399, ,999 of them are
democrats.
"Ail the greater reason why
they should have a democratic
representative in congress" re-

bic smile went round the table.

The delay in the consideration
of the Curtis bill causes some nerv-
business On the part of those most
interested in its passage. That it
will pass the house as soon as it
is considered is taken for granted;
but according to current opinion,
only about six weeks of the session
remains and this added to the
proverbially deliberate legislative
procedure that obtains in the sem
ate, is the cause of some uneasi-
ness, not to say alarm. The ex-
act status of the Curtis bill mas not
changed with the week. Nor can
an estimate be made, with any as.
surance of certainty, as to what the
coming week will bring. 1t had
been thought all along that it would
certainly be reached on committee
call, Monday, the Dist, but it tran
spires that, during the absence of
the members of the Indian com
mittee from the house Saturday. a
motion was made to displace the
committee calls of Monday with
the consideration of private bills.
No one objected and the motion
prevailed. When they learned Of
what had been done those in charge
of the Curtis bill were much chag-
grined, as the committee call will
not be reached for two weeks from
that date. The plan now is to call
the bill up, and ask its passage by
unanimous consent; or ask spec
ial rule for its consideration.
