An Astounding Procedure.

The Senate's adoption of the con-
ference report on the Indian appro-
priation bin was one of the most
remarkable Legislative performances
of this session Indian legislation
this year has been a nasty bust
ness, from the Indian Territory coal
fields grab down 10 the proceed
ing of Monday But for rank reck-
lessness of consequences yesterdays
was the star exhibition.
For two days Senator's TiIlman.
La Toilette and Bailey had protest
ed against the series of iniustices
which the legislation imposed upon
the Indians. They pointed out that
one firm of lawyers that had al
ready received a fee of $3.50, 900 from
the Indians funds-a fee allowed
by Congress after it had been re-
jected by the Secretary of the In
teriOr-was to be sent to the Court
of Claims to get another extrava-
CANT fee which Congress had re-
peatedly refused to allow.
This was bad. But it was pettv
compared to the project. embodied
in the bill, of depriving over 900
members of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations of their inherit
ances, aggregating S12, 1000, 900 or
thereabouts, chiefly, it would seem.
to earn for this same firm of law
yers a fee of 10 per cent of the
amount thus taken from the In
dians. The Government saves MOTH
ing by 1T. The claims of these In
dians have been fought out in every
court, and have won. The test case
was decided in their favor bv the
Supreme Court less than three
months ago. Yet this legislation.
adopted in the face of these deci-
siOns, and with full knowledge.
shuts them out absolutely.
Senator La Toilette sprung the
sensation of the day when he told
that the chief clerk to the commits
sioner of the Five Civilized Tribes
left his public duties and for a
month worked for this firm of law
yers, preparing the cases on which
they proposed to oust these In
dfans from the tribal rolls. Having
thus in private capacity fixed
up the cases, he returned to his
public Office and ruled on them.
This charge, made In the most
public way, ought not only to have
prevented the adoption of this con-
ference report, but should have
started rigid investigation. If
Senator La Toilette has been MAX
ing reckless charges he ought TO be
exposed. If he has told the truth
he has pointed out great scandal.
The full facts ought TO be made
known without delay.
The Senate heard all these state
ments. 1t heard Secretary Hitch
cocks letter declaring that the
adoption of the conferee's report
would shut out these 1000 Indians
from their inheritance. Yet by an
