THE VINDlcATioN OF MR.. BRYAN

The finding OF the judge before
whom the Bennett will contest was
tried in Connecticut acquits Mr.. VIM.
! j. Bryan OF any color OF misdolng in
the preparation Of the will and the en-.
deavor to probate it after the manner
OF the testators desire.
This is no more than was expected
by every one in the country who knows
Mr.. Bryan. Politicians and people
alike. from ocean To ocean, know him
az a cleanhearted frank-speaking and
emlnently honorable man. None OF
them believes that he would seek any
thing that he did not in his conscience
believe il right to seek And through
out the proceedings before the court
he has shown the probity of his spirit
In every word and work.
II is unfortunate that in our times
partsanship can run to the excess of
imputing to such man motives that
have never appeared in his life and a
suggestion of which can nowhere be
found in his career Mr. Bryan needs
no vindication before the public opin-
ion Of his character by his country
men and the effect of the statement by
the court serves merely to rebukc the
injustice done him by partisan presses
and those who have found onense in
his bold and aggressive public charac-
ter.

Not a Territory.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Are Indian
Territory and Alaska and Porto Rico
territories" in the sense the word is
used in the law providing government
aid for state and territorial milltiay
The war department held that these
political divisions are not territories"
and in his annuity report mare public
yesterday, Acting Adj,-Gen. w. p,
Hall gives the reasons of the depart
ment for not Issuing arms and equip
ment to military organizations in
these divisions.
In Indian Territory many existing
Organizations applied for arms when
the new militia law was passed early
this year and many applications were
received from persons who desired TO
organize companies. The territory has
no acknowledgement and under the
existing laws governing the division
it was believed by Secretary Root to
be unwise to authorize the organiza
tion of a militia recognized by the
government under the new militia act
Military companies organized at Ard

INDIAN TERRITORY CASES.
Impression Is That Congress Will be
Compelled to investigate.

Washington, Nov I5.-Just waat
will be done about Indian Territory
scandals is yet a mystery, II is be.
lieved that eventually congress Will
make an exhaustive investigation Of
territorial matters, through the Indian
committees, but just at this time there
is reluctance among the prospective
members of the house committee on
Indian affairs to discuss the matter,
for the reason that II is always safe
to refrain from talking loud before the
committees are announced.
Some OF the Democrats fear that IA
congressional investigation will be
nothing but whitcwash, as the Re
publicans will have power to confnc
the scope Of inquiry so that no disas.
trous revelations will be made. There
) IL disposition, too, to wait until the
Investigation by the interior depart
ment and Charles J Bonaparte is com.
pleted IT it is ever to be completed.
Unless the department does some
thing soon, however, congress will be
forced to act as the people in the ter.
rtory are becoming impatient at the
present situation. Mr. Bonaparte ha,
