The Machine.

The machine Is secret, intangible body, unknown to
and beyond II not above, the law IL is destroying our
institutions orit creates irresponsible supreme power
which is the mark Of despotsm il teaches dsrespect for
the law and keeps the better class Of citizens out of pub
lie life II has principles but greed politics but
selfish interests, no purpose but graft Graft, the
term is here used includes unearned salaries, fees per-
quistes, political honors licenses, privileges, profits on
public contracts and legislation, In short everything
gained through the public service except statutory pay
for services actually rendered
Perhaps the suhtles poison is the promise Of the ma
chine reform The boss will say thathe is dissatisfied
with the machine and acknowledge its defects that he
would like to reform IT. that he would like to get rid Of
some Of the undesirable elements In the machine II he
could only f their places with better men, like you for
Instance that all the better elements of the party should
get together within the machine; that the machine is
itself bad but only wrong sometimes because the
people hold aoof from it. II has often been noted that

his promise to reform than a faithful his never

Judge Raymond Of the Western district has the merit
Of originality TO say the least and occasionally gives out
a nugget Of judicial wisdom
In the Western district recently there has been much
dissatisfaction IN the Of choosing jurors The
statutes provided for jury commission, but this was
not generally observed. The ures have been selected

tomeys Of the district have made such vigorous pro-
test backed up By public sentiment that something Ind

Muskogee term acquitted nearly every person tried BE-
fore them and received rebuke from the bench
These iures also failed sustain the indictments
found in wholesale numbers by the grand jury in session
al that time and a result Of the unusual proceedings
tile term was brought 70 an abrupt end
Since that time there has been iury commission ap-
pointed to select the ures each term Of court Aud
the has gone still further aud ISSUES nstruc-
tlos 70 tho jury commission To the Inst one the fol.
was addressed:
sFOr iurymen select sober drunken man IS

capable men; narrow-minded, Informed man is not

leet Of good characters Of no character ought
not be allowed TO decide between the government and

Indian character being in the bounds Of

son for dislike Of the republican party ana he does
most heartily The Indians hold the gepubllcan party

been compelled to divide their tribal Inheritance The
freedmen getting aotments and have shared IN the
per capita payments Of money that belonged 10 the In
dlans. The Indians have never become recoucied 10
what they considered the time, and stll consider
outrage upon their treaty rights The fullbood along
with the mixed blood therefore hold deepseated preiu
dice against te negro and against the political party
that forced them TO divide their property with him. The
Indians the position that they held their lands by
patent from the government and that to force them TO
divide 1t with their former slaves unjust and without
