It lit otherwise with tnose, believed to be a large majority, who In the machinery 1 h> which affair* are administered are without voice or participation in the policy or law*, hy /lilcb they are gov erned The causes, which thus far have proved unsurmouutublr in all the effort*, at a peaceable solution of the problem by negotiation, can only ire understoid by a thorough knowledge of the condition# Into which these peo ple have been permitted to fall by tne Indifference and non-interference of the national government. "The present condition* are not treaty condition*. There is not only no trenty obligations on the part of the l.'nited Mates to malntnin or even to permit the present conditions ot af fairs in the Indian Territory, but, on the contrary, the whole structure and tenor of the treaties forbid it. if our government is obliged to malntnin the treaties according to their original in teo> and purpose it ie obligated to blot out at once present condition*, ithaa been most clearly shown that a restor ation of the treaty status is not only an imiiossiblllty, but, if n possibility, would is- disastrous to this people and against the wishes of all people and government alike. The cry, therefore, of those who have brought about this condition of affairs, to be let alone, not only buds no shelter in treaty ob ligations. but is a plea for permission to further violate thoee provisions. "The commission is compelled by the evidence forced upon them during their examination into the administra tion of the so-called government* in this territory to report that these gov nrnments in all their branches are wholly corrupt, irresponsible. *n*l un worthy to be longer trusted with the care and control of the money and 1 other property of Indian citizens, much less their lives, which they scarcely pretend to protect. There can be no higher obligation incumbent on every branch of the general gov ernment than to exert its utmost con stitutional authority to secure to this people in common with all other* within our borders, government in conformity with constitutional au thorities Tim government cannot ab dicate or transfer to other shoulder* this duty as to any portion of territory or people in the land. It cannot es cape responsibility if the dark record, which ha* now been brought to light, is permitted to continue. Delay can bring nothing but increased difficulty or danger to peace and good order in the Territory. The situation call* for prompt action. These considerations lead but to one conclusion. It ts in the judgment of the commission, the imperative duty of I'ongresa to aasume at once political control of the In dian territory. They have come with great reluctance to this con clusion, and have sought by all method* that might reach the convictions of those holding power in the territory to induce them by negotiation and mutnal agreement to consent to a satisfactory change in their system of government and ap propriation of tribal property. These effoi ts have failed; and the cominla f sioii is driven to the alternative of recommending abandonment of these people to the spoliation and outrages per pel rated in the name of existing government or the resumption by Congress of t he power thus abused Veaevuela Net Melilruee bortmiv, Nov. ttt—Thv Times pub lishes the following di*|>sich from it* oorres|sin4ent at Caracas, Venezuela, under date of November I: "It la of ficially stated that the revolutionary outbreak la of no tm|>ovtaatia No Itrttlah ultimatum ha* yet been re ceived and many of the influential Veueruelau* urge an amicable sell le nient The government ts afraid the tendering of hu a iso ugy would be equivalent to rcoogulriug the right of hugland to the disputed territory Otherwise It it ready to give satlafue- ' lion A considerable party favor* a direct settlement of the frontier ques tion without reference to the I ullvd Mate*."

The aecretnry dwells upon tbs necessity of eliminating politics from the management of In alan affairs, and of conducting each reservation upon strictly business principle*, the object being to make every Indian who remain* upon th* reservation self-supporting ami ready, as soon as possible, to sssumr the dalles of citizenship and he freed from the neternal care of the govern' ment. Thu Hecretary la of the opinion that If the resources of eech reserva tion nr# treated Intelligently and the Indians required to labor in those pur suits which arc adapted to particular reservations, inn few year* practically all th* Indians can Is-made self-sup porting. Allotments should be made long be fore reservatlou* era opened. Kacli Indian should be settled upon hi* homestead and be self-supporting be torn citizenship 1* conferred upon him. When citizenship Is conferred, the Oovernmenl ought to lot him nlone and allow him to take bis place, sur rounding him with no more restraint and giving him no more help than is accorded to other citizens, tinder the present system, Indian* to whom al lotment* have been marie and upon whom citizenship has been conferred still receive enormous gratuities and need every dollar they receive.

He urga* that these two ques tions are closely allied, for the quan tity of arid landa far exceeds the present water supply, even If It were all utilised for Irrigation. The In crease of the water supply must de pend upon the growth and preserva tion of the forests Attention Iscalled to the failure of the t'arey bill to ac complish the results expected; the secretary attributes this to the fact the bill Intended that money for the Irrigation should be raised upon the arid lands given to the Htates. This has been Impossible on account of the fact that sufflclant control over the lands waa not given to the Htatea to make them available as security for the money expended In their reclama tion. The secretary suggest* the advisability of patenting these landa to the Htates after It is fully deter mined that the selections made by them under the Carey act arc arid lande. CRAZED ON A TRAIN.

Hla people were strong but the evil spirits (yolocksi cast them down. A numerous people from the east came against hla people and their alllea. The great priest of bla people abode three days without food In tbe house of divinations and came out look* lug aa If ten years bad passed over hla head. He reported that the yolocka had decreed death U> the people. Then tbe braves Joined their allies and the war went on, The Invading people were not brave hut they came In swarms until the allies were wearied with slaughter. Many yeara passed and many young warriors perished, while the women cried out that their lovers were dead. The first to make thla outcry waa Anita, who had lost her lover In the mountain* of Farltou Then the high prleat cried that thla language deserved death and Anlla waa strangled by the old women, Then the high prleat at length declared that tbe fate* had prophesied aright and It waa time for the people to take flight through the forest. "They shall eat no more cassava or tapioca," he aald, "they ahall no more drink cadelrl, they ahall no more know the maniocs. They ahall go through the foreat known only to the tiger and the tapir." It waa In the moon of Ayamouri ana the people ato only grain* and oaoao. They aturtad and reached the bank* of the Oyapok, the long river. They pa**ed over the rock* of a great fall* and reached the great river Yln gararl. They followed It toward the aoutb. Three month* after they had left the foreat of Parltou they came upon a high mountain whence flowed another Oya pok. Thl* Oyapok, they learned, waa called Agamlonar*. The high prl**t aald that the people ehould retire here to die. Ho they nettled there and upon the bank* of another river, tho Ouroual tou, and the women hoped that the war rior* would love them again and the field* would be planted. But the high prleat aald: "Plant, drink, dance. Be beautirul young women, be bandaome young war rlora. but do not burn the pimento. It'a uaeleea, for the giant Couroup (the amall pox) cornea to lead you to the funeral butcher." The giant Couroup waa without pity; be atruck and atruck again. Mother* fled their children and 1 children their mother*. The village* were full of the dead, full of uneaten caaaava. The cinder* of the hearth i were not relighted. Nearly all of the 1 Calcoucblanea died. That waa long ago. To-day there remain* not more tbau fifty Catcouchlane* dlaperaed among the Oyatnpla. The Calcoucblanea are dead, alaln by war and Couroup, bccauae tho fate* willed It. Pate la neither Juat nor unjuat but la often fad.
