special view to giving, as near aS
may be, local self government in
all things. Judge Toilette thinks
that an important feature of the
bill is the elimination of the regu-
lation county seat and county line
fight, which always retard legis-
lation when brought before the
committees of congress.
The bill assumesit TO be fact
that the people ON the ground
knew better what should be done
in this connection than a non
resident lobby at Washington. All
officials not elected are TO be
appointed from actual residents of
the territory. The larger towns
can not absorb the membership Of
the senate or house. each town or
city being limited to one senator
or one representative in the first
legislature.
The present judiciary system is
not interfered with, but is only
made more comprehensive and APP
plicable to the new conditions.

GUESSING AT A CROWD.
the Size of a Gathering of
individuals.

Estimating the size of a crowd is the
hardest kind of guessing in the world =
said an old citizen. Nothing is more
elastic, more compressible and more de-
ceptiye than great throng. On two
occasions street or square may APP
pear to be packed to its capacity, and
one would say, roughly, that about the
same number Of people were present
each time. AS q matter of fact, there
may have been difference of several
thousand. / am convinced from OBJ
servation covering number of years
that it is impossible for anybody stand
ing on the level occupied by crowd to
form even an approximately accurate
estimate of its size. Such a spectator
has no means Of arriving at the dens-
ity Of the mass before him, and that is
the vital point in the whole calculation.
''The proper place from which to
size up any great gathering is as near
ly as possible overhead, in other words,
from the roof or upper windows OF
some adjacent tall building. 1t is only
by looking down on crowds from a
height that you can appreciate their
great differences. One will be full of
lanes and passageways, with little open
spaces here and there, while in another
the people will be standing shoulder to
shoulder with almost military pre-
cision. From above, too, the strange
wave movement which occurs in all
crowds is clearly discernible, and it is
certainly curious sight. A slight stir
will be seen from some extreme corner;
for few seconds it will travel toward
the center, exactly like a ripple over
water, then suddenly it will break and
spread itself along three or four ir-
regular paths, each ending in crush
which must be entirely inexplicable to
the people in the vicinity. What causes
these movements to take such eccen-
trio routes through a throng is at first
blush a mystery, but suppose it can
be easily explained on the common
principle of force moving in lines of
the least resistance. Some chap on the
outskirts starts the thing by shoulder
ing hls neighbor, and the impulse is
passed along, always by way Of the
weakest.
Gas an illustration of how guessers
will differ in their estimates of crowds,
1 asked two very level-headed gentle
men hcw many people they thought
were assembled at the foot of Canal
street to witness the landing of Rex.
One said 5000 and the other 10000. The
reasons given in both cases sounded
about equally plausible. IN. o. Times

THE WORST PARASITES.
Greatest ImpOsers Upon the Human
Race Are Aristocrats Of
China and spain.

The aristocracy OF China are the
most useless human beings in the
world. 1t Is no uncommon thing for
the ancestors OF some man who has
done service 10 the state to be en-
nobled backward for several genera
tions, and no nristocracy can be more
useless than one which consists large
ly Of those who are deceased. Among
more advanced nations the aristoc
racy Of Spain is probably the most
useless. The strain OF Moorish blood
running in many of the Oldest families
in that peninsula appear 20 conduct
toward an indolent pride. which pre-
vents their members from taking part
IN any professions but those Of the
army and navy-now open TO them tc

JEFFERSON TERRITORY.
Toilette S Proposed Measure
For Local Government.

Congressman Moon, of Tennes-
see introduced a bill providing a
territorial form of government for
the Indian Territory, under the
name of Jefferson Territory. The
object OF the bill is two-told. Its
first purpose is to give the people
Of the Indian territory home rule,
and the second is to do honor to
Thomas Jefferson by giving his
name to the only unorganized ter
ritory embraced within the grand
domain secured for the United
States through his wisdom and
statesmanship.
The idea of remaining the Indian
Territory Jefferson Territory orig
mated with Judge E. G. Toilette,
who is now in Washington as a
delegate appointed by, the South
McAlester convention, called to
take steps for the redress of the
wrongs now sufferedby the 300, 900
white citizens of the Indian Terri
tory. Judge Toilette. in speaking
tonight Of the bill, said he consid-
cred it most fitting that the new
territory should bear the name Of
the great statsman who made 1t a
part Of the United States, and 1t
was equally appropriate that the
unorganized portion of the United
States should be prepared for adj
mission to the Union in time to
become factor and a participant
in the Louisiana Purchase Worlds
fair to be held at St.Louis in 1903.
The bill provides for a governor
and a secretary, who shall be citi-
zens of the territory and who shall
be appointed by the president. a
treasurer, an auditor and super
intendant OF public instruction are
to be elected by joint vote of the
legislature until otherwise provid-
ed for by the legislature. A dele-
egate to represent the territory in
congress is TO be elected by the
voters of the territory.
TERRITORIAL LEGIsLATURE.
The legislature is to consist of
senate and house Of representa-
ives. the senate to be composed OF
fifteen senators and the house of
thirty-three representatives.
The senatorial districts are TO be
as followes: Chickasaw nation,
four senators; Choctaw nation,
four senators; Greek and Seminole
nations, three senators; Chero-
kee nation and Quawpaw Indian
agency, four senators.
The representatives districts
are 10 be as follows: Cbickasaw
nation. eight representatives,;
Choctaw nation, eight represent
,tives: Creek nation, seven repre-
.entasives: Seminole nation, one
reprsseniauve; QuaWpaw Indian
agency. one representative; Cher
.laa naiion. eight representatives. J
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-05-04

Inc Legislature IS given power
to re-district the territory into
senatorial and representative
districts, and to apportion the
membership. Not more than one
senator nor more than one repre-
sentative can be elected at the
first election at the same precinct.
Each incorporated city or town
is made a voting precinct for such
town or city and the surrounding
territory nearest thereto. The
town authorities shall appoint a
non political election board Of
three judges and two clerks to act
at the first election. The election
returns are to be made to the Sec
retary of state, and certificates
of election are to be issued by
the governor.
The Legislature has general
powers with certain restrictions.
The allotments and town lots are
not to be taxed in violation of laws
and treaties.
JUDICIAL SYSTEM.
The judicial system Of the terri
tory is to remain as now constitut-
ed, save that the Legislature may
confer on county judges probate
jurisdiction, and on justices of the
peace civil jurisdiction in cases
not involving over 800. County
judges are to be elected by the
people, and are required to be
members of the bar. Appeals
from justices are to go to the
county court, and appeals from
the county court are to 60 to the
United States court.
Both United States and Indian
citizens may vote and hold office
alike. The legislature is to divide
the territory into not more than
thirty-three counties. and provide
governments therefor. County
seats are to be established
by vote of the people, but may
be temporarily located by the
legislature. No county shall con-
sist of less than 720 square miles
nor of more than 1895 square
miles, and shall not be less than
"a miles miles wide, nor more
than SO miles long, and shall con-
form to the township lines of the
government survey, and, except
as prevented by the outer lines of
the territory and the meandering
of the Arkansas river, shall be in
the form of parailelograms.
All instruments of writing af-
fecting BANKS and including
patents to to town lots and allot-
ments are required to be recorded
in the county where the land
lies, and those affecting other
property are required TO be filed
or recorded in the county where
the maker resides, If resident, If
not, then where the property is
situated. Fifty feet of land on
section lines is reserved for high
ways.
TAXES ABOLISHED.
The tribal taxes on property
and vocatIons Of citizens Of the
United States are abolished. APP
are made to defray
the expenses Of the legislature, the
expenses Of holding the first
election. and in temporary aid Of
school education, until
the Legislature establishes a school
system for the territory.
The bill was drawn with
