INDIAN FRAUDS

The ST. Louis Republic, natural.
IL conservative, published at the
home of the Indian ring and es-
specially friendly to its townsman,
Secretary. Hitchcock, has this to
say editorally:
aSince the settlement OF the
West began scandals IN connection
with tIndian agents" have been
rife. No doubt that in the for
ward press Of the white man and
by unscrupulous representatives Of
the government, the Indian was
iuggled out of much that was his
due, and that the many charges Of
Injustice have been well founded.
"Bui now, when the Indian is
restricted to a limited area, when
the reservations gradually are be-
ing encroached upon, that allega.
tions OF further misconduct SHOULD
be insistently made is a matter Of
not only passing importance or Of
trihing graft" The existing
charges are that Gland grabbsrs, "
with the knowledgs and even con
nivance of government officials,
have swindlsd many Indians out
Of their holdings.
ssSecreiary Hitchcock naturally
resented an insinuation that be
condoned improper practice. He
completely disprovsd the sugges
tion. But with regard to the
charges in general, the impression
remains that more tEan one thing
sspeculiarn has marked the ad-
ministration Of affairs 10 the terri
tory. Full disclosures and con-
elusive proof have not been made
a. yet Sufficient. however, is be-
fore the pubic to awaken 8 popu-
lar demand that the investigation
begun By Secretary Hitchcock be
unsnsring and thorough"

The decision Of Judge Raymond
in the Freedmen case at Muskogee
yesterday in which the injunction
against the Dawes Commission en-
joining il from considering appli-
cations Of fire edmen 10 the Chero-
kee nation whose names do not
appear on the authenticated rolls
Of 1880, they or their ancestors, is
Of no great importance. The de-
cision will not secure the enroll
ment Of a single freedman who
cannot show that he has complied
with the treaty Of 1866 All those
who returned to the Cherokee ma
zion within the time specified are
entitled to enrolment. Most Of
the freedmen cases have been de-
cided by the Dawes Commission
and only await the approval Of the
Secretary Of the Interior.

the use Of the party
The shamelsssness Of official
corruption in the Indian Territory
is the out growth Of that senssIess
unprincipled and barbarian motto
that "to the victors belong the
spoils." Public Office, which vas
intended for the use and bsne6;
of the people, has become the
plunder Of the party CRATER
Patronage il waved like a huge
over the whole land, and
political lazaroni, like iron filings
attracted by the law of their 10
ture, gather and cluster around its
poles. Office is conferred az the
reward of party service and with
little view to moral or intellectual
fitness. The administration winks
At corruption in high places as
long as possible and when public
exposure becomes inevitable gives
the bloated plunderer full warning
and allows him to escape with the
Ipoils or resign.

BIG EXPENSE
ACCOUNT
Commission ReveIS
in Type Writers
and busters

The Kansas City Journal sdi
toriaIly. casts some light on th,
Dawes commissions affairs which
we're to great degree unexpected
II says:
The grand jury, when it takes
up the investigation at Muskogee
of Indian Territory scandals,
might begin with the expense
account of the Dawes commission.
This is a little matter which
amounted only to s27S, ,922 As last
year, and is therefore trivial in
comparison with the gigantic land
and loan operations in the terri
tory, which are now passing under
the condemnation of the people OF
the United States. But this in
signifcancy affords an excellent
opportunity, which, although dis
trict attorneys like Soper and Nc
Coy, on account of engrOssment
in private business, might not be
able TO use, yet an energetic and
impartial criminal prosecutor Of
the Folk type would employ to
the complete discontinue of all
guilty parties. Mr.. Folk, when
be has been unable to convict up
on more serious charges, has
sometimes found ii easy to bring
a rascal TO justice by trying him
for some minor of ense-,he rea-
son being that 8 defendant occu-
pied with a biz graft or fraud, in
variably neglects to cover bis
tracks in little matters.
1t would, of course, be rank
libel to accuse any member OF the
Dawes commission who is invol-
we'd in land deals, amounting to-
hundreds of thousands Of dollars,
with padding bis expense account
OF ssesling q two cent stamp from
the government; yet nevertheless
there may be .csnsurable inadvsr
.tencss on the part of some sub
altern ID confOunding private and
public expenditures To illus
trste: The entire Dawes COM
mission, it il alleged. spends
more time and thought on affairs
Of loan companies than upon it's
official duties. As business men
the members are charged with
trying to get hands On the land
and moneys which as officials Of
the government they are sworn
to protect from the greed OF pri
vats individuals. These compa-
nies and tn commission therefore
deal with the same subject mat
ters, although, II is true. for abso-
lutely different purposes rhe
hes dQusrters for all concerrs are
IN tb- same cities, and often in

CHICAGO. Dec 1o.-Smali holders were IN
clined 20 dispose Of their wheat at the start
to-day under the influence OF the weakness
which developed late yesterday and the apathy
Of the foreign markets. As result an easier
tone prevailed at the opening and May was
&c lover to lse higher at slQsissc, The
feature Of the early trading was the pressure
TO sell December and before II vas wanted IN
sufficient quantities to stop its decline loss
Of over 2 cents had been registered. Com
mission houses with ST. Louis connections we're
prominent sellers during the opening hour
The weakness in the current month acted as
a drag on the May option and before any con-
siderable support developed the prices OF May
had declined TO S0i4e, loss Of lac from the
high figure Local longs we're free sellers and
many stop loss orders were reached on the way
down which added impetus 10 the downward
trend Weakness in outside markets also In
creased the selling pressure. Confirmation OF
reports of rains in Argentina brought out buy
ing orders by commission houses late in the
DAY and the market responded TO the improved
demand much of the early loss being regained.
The close was steady, with May %dl5c lower

Corn was firm in spite Of the slump in
wheat May closed at 43q43isc.
