jury. But the witnesses present at
the stabbing were not summoned and
did not appear before the inquisitorial
body. The reason of this absence was
explained: They were poor men en-
gagged in earning a livlihood at places
far distant from the county seat, and
had been promised by this Office that
they would not be called until their
presence was necessary. All the evi-
dence they could give had been given;
and was before the grand jury In the
best possibleform 1t could be placed
into. The cost to the county Of bring
ing in unnecessary witnesses would

of the grand jury would have

pertinent to inquire how was 1t, IL the
presence of all the witnesses was nec-
essary that eleven of the seventeen
voted for Indictment? 1t might be per-
tinent also to ask how many of tn
non-votirg and negative members
'ndorsed the report? 1t might
further be inquired. If this has ever
happened before when the same per-
sons were In control Of the grand juryy
These questions may not and doubt

study of them may let In little light
upon the grand jury report.
On the part of this office Ii NAV be
said that it has been in my charge
about fourteen months. During that
time. l have prosecuted eleven persons
under felony indictments; these eleven
persons are now in the States prison
four under death sentence. That In
diligently sought from the first to the
last minute; the fact that eleven citi-
zens out of theseventeen composing the
grand jury voted for indictment. is
ample proof of this. The failure OF
indictment is properly chargeable to
the six members who by silence and
active opposition voted against indict-
ment and not to the absence or pres
ence of witnesses. To charge the fail
ure to this office under the circum-
stances is absurd. unreasonable and
very unjust: but since this has been
done, and for no other reason, l leave
the decision with the public,

In another column we publish, a
Washington special to the Pioneer
Press, which states that congress
has under consideration Il propos-
ition to remove the restrictions
which apply, under existing laws,
to Indian allotments, so as to per-
NIT such of the mixed and full
blood Indians as are capable Of
administering their own affairs, to
have full control Of their respcc-
ti,e allotmcnts.
This is the most important step
that has ever been taken to sever
the government guardianship oyer
the Indians, and to throw upon
their own responsibility those who
are capable Of looking after them
selves.
All the mixed blood male adults
on this reservation are capable of
protecting their private interests,
and also IL large number of the
full bIoods, and they should have
full control of their allotmcnts.
The allOtmcnts of the aged ;lllot-
tees even if they are not compc-
tent to properly conduct their
affairs. should be sold and the pro-
cccds of these sales placed in
banks to their credit witt, restrict
ions over its withdraw. In
this way they would derive some
benefit from the land which is en-
tirely useless to a very large ma
jority Of them now, and which
otherwise would eventually fall
into the hands of their heirs.
Minors should not be allowed
to sell their allotments under any
circumstances.

SHOULD BE CHANGED.

Comptroller General Wright to Make
Some Important Recommendation
The following from the Atlanta Con
stitution is of general interest:
Hi9gmiP 70 lfBHn fBHnGgffg Sly ehgaged just now
in getting out his annual report which
will cover the period from October l,
1892, up to January 1, 1904 The date
of these reports was recently changed,
owing to the change in The time of
the meeting of the legislature, which
accounts for the fact that Comptroller
General Wrights report will cover ff-
teen months this time instead of
year.
The forthcoming report of the comp
troller general will contain a new feat
ure, a table showing the results of the
operation of the franchise tax law In
connection with this the comptroller
general will have something to say
about the operation of the new law
and will make some recommendations
in connection with it.
Comptroller General Wright thinks
that the methods of arbitration both
in connection with corporation re-
turns and individual tax returns should
be changed. He will recommend in
his forthcoming report permanent
boards Of arbitration, a permanent
state board which shall have charge
Of all arbitrations connected with cor
poration tax returns, and permanent
county boards which shall decide Ill
cases OF individual tax returns which
are appealed from the tax receivers
decision in the matter, There is 8
bin pending before the present legis
lature looking to some such change
as this, and it has been under discus
sion for some time by the ways ant
means committee of the house 1t viii
probably be reported to the house a
the coming session and an effort ma!
be made to enact it into law withou
further delay.
