More Anent the BOnaparte Report.

The president has approved the recommendation OF
Mr. Charles Bonaparte that the Dawes commission be
abolished this year The matter rests with congress-
No difficult organic changes treaties necessary
to effect the desired end If congress should strike out
of the Indian appropriation bill the clause granting
money to the Dawes commission and instead thereof pro-
vide for that body discontnuance commission would
to exist No further legislation would be required
BY an executive or departmental order the unfinished
work Of enrolment could be transferred the citizen
ship courts and the unfinished work of allotment could
be transferred to the Indian Inspector and thus the pub
lie would be rid of set of men most of whom are noto
rousy unfit and the affairs Of the Indians would fall in
to the hands Of officials in whom the people could have
trust and confidence.
Our history furnishes few instances where body Of
men entrusted with high responsibilities and duties failed
more completely in performance than the Dawes com
mission has done. If the Panama canal commission or
Philippines commission should be guilty of any of the
heinous oenses committed by several of the Dawes
commission public Indignation would be aroused to such
extent that if it did not bring upon the heads of the
cuprits serious punishment would at least deprive
them Of the right Of holding Office under the govern
ment again. Tams Bixbys sense of official decency and
honor is not abnormally acute butt nevertheless what
would Bixby say General Walker should be president
Of the company which the government hires to dig the
canal or if General Wright should buy up the Friars
land in the Philippines be stockhoder of railroad
or development companies to which, as governor, he
grants franchises in those islands If he should say that
such acts of Generals Walker and Wright would be en-
tirey proper should then ashim if he thought Cap
tain Carter lawfully convicted for his personal inter-
in the government works in the Mobile harbor or if
Superintendent Machen was not unusty condemned to
serve term the pententiary for making private gain

The Statehood Outlook.

The House committee territories has decided tore
port in favor of the creation Of two states from the four
territories Of the be composed of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory and the other of New Mexico and
Arizona. The manner in which these bills presented
will largely determine whether there will be state
hood legislation at this term If omnibus bill pre-
sented making the acceptance OF proposition contn
gent upon the other there will likely be action The
democratic members will readily vote for the creation of
one state from Oklahoma and Indian Territory but will
there halt insisting that New Mexico and Arizona shall
be separate Enough no-saters will likely be found
among the republican membership to enable them to
block action On the other hand if two bills are pre-
sened providing for the consolidation of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory and the other for New Mexico and
Arizona tie passage of not being contingent upon
the other there is hope for the passage Of the
affecting the people of tns territory The democrats
will join in putting the OklahomaIndian Territory bill
through and then oppose the other The prospect for
statehood WILL therefore, be made marred by the
ture Of the bill or bills presented. -Oklahoman.
