too ha rlsan Considerably during
the last Tow days. Thoro arc many
antlvo reasona for this condition and
there aro soma conditions which have
produced this result.
You were told almost a month ago
by an lntervlow with Senator Jones
of Arkansas: "Nothing will bo dono
for tho Indian Torrltory by the proa-j
ent congress." Tho distinguished son
ator has always boon an active frlond
of Indian Torrltory., and ho gavo his
reasons for this discouraging state
ment. In a subsequent Interview ho
vaiil to tho writer: "I am for tho lib
orty of Indian Torrltory. So long as
Ihoy are rlddon by Fodoral olllcohold
ors they will bo In a stato of bondage.
Nothing but a freo and Independent
form of territorial government, or ab
soluto statehood, will Over rid thorn
of tho Incubus which wolghs tho peo
ple down. Thoy aro deprived of their
liberties, taxed unreasonable by attor
neys and othors, havo not a ray of
hope beforo them Tor advancement In
civilization and citizenship But. for
the prcsont, I can see no ray of hope
of any favorablo legislation until
somo future congress shall havo
the patriotism to right the long-suffer-
lng people of tho wrongs put upon
them."
That condition, tho absoluto lndlf
lerence of congress to tho wolfare of
the Indian Torrltory, lias had a, groat
deal to do with tho, Ijoomlng. df tho
omnibus bill. 'otipoul;l not see this
on tho surface if you were here In
the galleries of tho senate or houso
of representatives. Hut if you had
access to tho ears of friends in the
committee rooms, whero nil legisla
tion Is planned nnd ordorcd, you wonld
ascertain tho fact stated. It Is the
lielplossness and almost fricndlcss
aess of. the Indian Torrltory which
line deprived tho so-called Nolson bill
of a strong following. Thon, by natur
al Order of things, tho legislators had
their eyes turned to tho omnibus bill,
and their ears heard tho appeals of

lien for their rlglU. Thus, by
' rection the omnibus Mil has Iipch
Indl-
bppn
aA hv the unfortunate condition of tho
Indian Territory. '
"Then, tho omnibus bill began to
boom when it became known In tho
sonato that Sonator Ueverldga had prl-
vatoly admitted that he did not want
tho so-called Nelson bill to be passed,
whon everybody knew Hint Sen tr
Nelson has Introduced tho bill at tho
Instance of Senator Iloverldge who
had openly protonded to favor that
moasure. Whon Senator Iloverldge
admitted double dealing, senators wero
surprlsod, nnd some of them were nn-
gered.
"You were Informed not long ago
that the 'courtesy ot the senate' Is ox
tended, upon tho supposition that 'no
sonator will do anything Inslncoro, or
questionable.' It Is upon that suppo-
sltUm that tho sonato rotinB its tlmo-
honored custom of 'unlimited debate.'
Undor that cuBlom Senator Quay Is
extending 'the courtesy of the senate
to Sonator Uevoridge and the other
opponents of tho omnibus bill. Ho has
boon nnd will contlnuo to be, patient
while time Is bolng wasted under 'the
courtesy of tho senato.'
Hut, In admitting that ho Is not sin
cere in presenting his substitute bill,
Senator Ucverldgo has inndo It possl
bio for Sonator Quay, at any tlmo, to
declnro that tho right to "tho cour
tesy of tho sonato" has boon forfeit
do by pretended adheronco to a "dum
my" bill, in which tho sonator htit no
real lntorcst, and In which tho senato,
thorofora, should take no Intorost.
Having admlttod tho play to load
up to this situation. Senator Quay,
who watches every move llko a cat
after a mouse, began to call somo of
his best republican friends to his rosl-
donco In tho ovenlngs, and there out
lined to them a portion of his plan,
which will ultimately lead up to all
night sessions of tho senate. So Jcal-
ous Is tho senate of its right to "un
umiieti ucuaio, ' mat it will go any
loneths rnthnr thnn nmnnrf l.p ,l.
Consequently, It Is a matter ot his
tory that on a, number of occasions
when lh.i majority could not got a
vote otherwise It would kcop the.sen
ato in continual session until tho op
position senators would succumb frbm
shear nhvslcnl nxliniiKtlnn
The last caso of this kind was in
Ortobor, 1893, when Prosldont Cleve
land demanded tho ropoal of tho Sher
man silver-purchasing law, and the
advocates of freo silver coinage resist-
sorted to continuous sessions and" ultl
sorted to continuous soslons and ultl
mately repealed tho law. After mid

This Is substantially what Senator
Quay Is gottlng ready to say concern
lng tho omnibus bill. Ho will bldo
his time and bo patient while nil oth
ors aro swearing mad; ho will wisely
chooso his time, thon force the fight
lng. Tho msuii seems Inevitable.
