The Sky Cleared.

On three Of the twelve Corporation Court
sustaining the suspension of Chairman Purdie of the
Board of Control. by the Mayor
The court emphasizes the fact that there Is no init
nation of any dishonest intention on the part or
Mr. Purdie-in fact there has been suggestion OF
any personal pecuniary profit him in any of the
things he did and which he considered for him
to do.
The three items noticed by the court selling
city water to the county selling scrap IRON
and applying proceeds to fitting water office, let
ting contract for alum without bids.
1t really looks though If Mr. Purdie Is suspended
on these things the suspensions ought TO be scattered
around little The Council sold water to the county
company just Mr.. Purde did except that it raised
the price and the other items authorized by
the Board of Control, Messrs. Purde and Hannah. as
Colonel Hodges was out of the city.
Thus why suspend the City Council and the
Board of Control except Colonel Hodges and the
Mayor who failed to veto the sale Of water by the
Council and begin all over again.
The city finds satisfaction in the fact that there
was no charge of graft corruption, and the rigid
investigation, Judge Hanckel brought out no
syllable OF testimony to suggest dishonest In
tent anywhere. The city will be benefited from the
fact that the sale of water Is legally dsapproved
and therefore the question settled, and again atten

PosTERITY AND THE INDIAN.

Treacherous as the Indian is, with good cause,
supposed 10 be- worthless as he is in the great
majority of instances, the presence of these char
acteristics is exactly what might have been ex-
peeed from the attitude toward him of the Wash
ington Government-the "Great White Father"
SO full of promises, placid in. procrastination
So disappointing in action. We can well imagine
the deeP-seated pcsstnisu Of an fndian who has
escaped being fool as be analyses the confused
aud confusing steps by which his race has been
pushed off into one corner after another, the
while death took its toll, and the sharpers took
theirs. The Indian is helpless, hopeless, and
cynical. 1t cannot be gainsad that the att-
tude of selfish Legislation which has been adopted
toward him precluded the possibility of anything
else. Now that little is left and that, too is
preparing TO take wings, the Indians who survive
wish something out of the wreck.
Examined in the investigation concerning the
McMurray claims, Choctaw Indians explained
that the uncertainty of treatment accorded them
by the Government had made it necessary that
they give over their affairs into the hands of the
shyster lawyers who prey upon them-not SO
much, we understand the testimony, because
they do not appreciate that they are being robbed,
as because in desperation they are willing even
TO be robbed, If through the robbery they can be
enabled to come into portion of that which
they own and to the possession of which they are
entitled
One of the Choctaws, c. c. Choate, estimating
that his share of the money to be paid under the
McMurray contracts would be $4,000, less $500
in fees to the lawyers, put the in a nut shell,
when he said: Now, | would rather have 81
500 while | am living, than wait till the Gov
erment acts, and get $4,000 when I am dead"
The only good Indian may, indeed, be a
dead Indian, but it is certain that he will
not, in the latter event, be rich one. Nor is he
TO be too much blamed for Discrimination to sac
rifce the possibility of present possession to the
hope of greater possession in the hands of his
posterity, especially since the history of the In
dian shows that posterity in his case is a some
thing constantly and rapidly approaching the
point of disappearance.
