question upon its merits. 1t is high
time something was done. The people
are kept out of this territory when they
go there for the purpose of settlement,
but il is well known that Stockmen are
not hindered from occupying it. Capt.
Payne has been arrested several times
but has never been brought to trial.
The military power only has been in
vOked. 1t is time the civil courts had
something TO say about il, for the re-
peated arrest of citizens in time of
peace by the military, and without pro-
cess Of law, is the very rankest oppres-
sion, and ought not to be tolerated.
The cattle rings of course will oppose
Payne. IL is them he will have to fight
and will he be able to hold his own p
X. e.. Times,
1t is not right that the Times should
persistently advocate this Oklahoma
scheme as proposed by Payne. His fol-
lowers during every raid are generally
new men, and rarely can one be found
who has gone into that country the
second time. They, like the general
public, conclude that Payne is not sim
cere in his course, and that he only gets
up these frequent invasions for the act
ual money he can make out of his tenn
porary followers. Many poor men who
cannot afford to lose their time and
money are influenced by such articles
as the above, and it is wrong to encour-
age men to leave certainties for the I'M
certainty Of home in the Oklahoma
country.
1t Is not policy for the Times to argue
TN this matter as it does. Kansas City
is now growing rich on the support il
receives from stockmen. They are
making it the greatest live stock mar
ket in the world, and are indirectly
contributing to its mercantile prosper
ity in other ways.
StOckmen have not crowded any class
from the territory and they are only us
ing such lands as would be worthless
for any purpose than grazing. They
are citizens as much as the Oklahoma
invaders are, and have rights. Why
drive out themen who have their CAPT.
tai invested there, and allow others to
take pOsseSsionp Now there is harmo-
ny between the government, the Indi-
ans who claim the ownership of the
lands and the parties who occupy this
coveted territory.
The cattle rings" referred to by the
Times do not exist. There are no
special privileges they enjoy that any
one might not have, and that any one
may not have some time in the future.
StOckmen have been more industrious
than the Oklahoma boomers, and are
now prospecting and are satisfied. The
boomers had the same opportunity to
get foot hold there, and now that they
have lost the chance for the present they
must wait until the next round.

Not Good for Rod Fork.

In view of the efforts of the st. Louis
4 San Francisco railroad to divert the
southwestern cattle trade from Hume
well, Caldwell, Harper and other points
on the A. I. Il 5. +. and X. G. l.. & s. X.
roads, shippers should take pains to in
quire into the facilities for shipping over
the FIRST named road from the vicinity
of Red Fork. One Of the best known
cattle shippers in the Territory, who has
been in that section, says:
II have been forty miles west of Tulsa
and the country is full of jack oaks;
water only fair and the green-headed
flies so bad it will not do for a cattle
shipping point at ALL"
a shipper of Independence ,Kas., who
has cattle in the vicinity Of Red Fork,
says the Frisco road will not be in
shape to take stock before August, and
it will not be practical to ship from Red
Fork at any time.
The yards in the southwestern ship
ping points are in good shape, and
every facility is afforded by the old
routes.-K. c. Indicator.

A Watch which Goes by EIec-
triCity.

A Jewish young man 19 years old
named Solomon Schisgal, in st. Peters
burg, Russia, has invented a watch
which goes by electricity, and with
scarcely any movement; it is therefore
simple in construction and easy to han
die; it is cheap, and. above all, keeps
correct time. Herr Chwolson, Pro-
-fessor of Physics at the University of
st. Petersburg, has written an article
on the subject in the Noaoosti, in which
he says: In its remarkable simplicity
this invention can only be compared
with the Jablochkof system of electric
lightning. The watches are without
any springs. and consist solely of two
wheels. Besides being true, they have
the advantage of the second hand nov
ing in single momentary leaps, as is
usually the case only in very costly
watches, and which is of the utmost
utility for astronomical observations.
These watches can also set in motion
certain number of watches of the same
construction, so that they all keep ex-
act time. The invention has convinc-
ed me that watches can be used for the
purpose of telegraphy.o After NAM
ing several other advantages, Prof.
ChwOlson describes the invention as .
wonder which will cause an ent tire rev.
oiution in the manufacture of watches.
Herr Schisgal is the son of Jewish
matchmaker in BerditscheW.

Ben Butler not Oiscouraged.

At the election on Tuesday of last
week, Gen. Butler as candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts, was beat
en-. The poll stood, Robinson, l59, 9,s55;
Butler, 150.013-with four small towns
to hear from at this writing. In re-
sponse to telegram from the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gazette asking his
views on the result, and his pro-
gramme for the future, the undismay=
ed Governor replies: "An answer to
your question is easy as to the cause of
the result in Massachusetts. Last
year had 134 900 votes. The largest
vote ever polled was in the Garfield
vote of 1osO-Garfield los, 900, Hancock
l2,Oo0-total, 127, 900. This year the
vote is 3l3, 900, Of which have 152, 900.
This enormous increase has been caus-
ed by the freest use Of money, fraud
and corruption of my opponents.
More votes have been cast than will be
in the next Presidential year. The
eight or nine thousand plurality of my
opponent was more than lost in the
city of Boston. Massachusetts is there
fore surely Democratic, If make an
other State canvass without further
gain. When a man has increased the
Democratic vote from 112, 900 to l52 900
in three years, is there any need of an
answer to your question as to what my
future programme will be? lam pleas
ed with the result; had rather have
my vote than to be elected by 1876, 600.
In that case it would be then said that
Massachusetts is Republican State
She has large reserve vote which in
a Presidential election would come out.
Now we have had them all out and
measured them, and IN the next Presi-
dental election with a judicious plat
form and pOpdlar nomination at least
we should keep all Republican men
and money at home to take care of But
Ter instead Of sending both to Ohio and
Indiana to corrupt these states.u

quired knowledge of medicine, but
who is not graduate Of medical col
lege, furnishes medicine. and, at great
outlay or time and labor, treats the case
successfully. Another one is sick and
is treated, we will suppose, successfully,
by man with diploma. The first
physician is barred by statute from
compensation, and is liable to be pros
ecuted if he asks pay, and the second
one collects his bill. And de j, he do 80
because he understands the science Of
medicine any better than the other. or
because bis industry has been greater
or more successful than that OF the 9TH

arises under the law from his posses
sion Of a quarter section of q dried
sheepskin. The law then denies the
natural right of man to the gains of his
own industry, and so is in direct viola
tion of the Bill of Rights.
Section Is of the Bill ofRights spec;-
fies that no law impairing the obliga-
ton of contracts can be passed by the
General Assembly. The great law of
equivalents, which is nothing for notn-
ing, runs behind and under all other
law, and is asserted in Section 4, of the
Bill of Rights. AS soon as the law ad-
mits man to do any kind of work, it
admits his right tc compensat ton for
his work; and whenever one party en-
ploys another to work for him, in any
capacity, the obligation for compenae-
ton arises-the transaction containing
all the obligation of coptn01 This
law not only impairs th1 Ion Of
contract, but makes An difense
against the peace and dignity Of the
State of Missouri, for auparty that has
done his work well to sclaim his rights
under the contract. And so the law is
in defiance of all equity.

The milk question, which is now being
agitated to some extent in this city, is really
a most important one, as it affects not only
the comfort but the health OF the people.
Many babies are raised entirely on cows
milk, and the weak, watery, .sieless com
pound that dishonest dealers dispense is one
of the most fruitful sources of disease aud
mortality among the infant population of a
city.
A good milk inspector is certainly needed
in Wilmington. In New York, with all its
extravagances and municipal shortcomings,
a system of milk inspection is in force
which frequently eonsigns to the river large
quantities of disgusting stuff which con-
scienceless venders endeaVor to force into
the stomachs OF the people. Whether
Wilmington could secure such an efficient
regulation of this important affair is a mat
ter OF conjecture, but City Council might
engage a competent chemist to analyze such
samples of milk as the people saw lit to
bring to him, In this case customers could
have the milkmen under complete control,
for when suspicious were aroused
the milk could be analysed, and il
found impure the dealer promptly
dismissed. A few dismssals would bring
about the desired result, as even dishonest
dealer would sooner furnish good article
than suffer damaging loss of patronage.
Good milk il a wholesome article of diet
and legislation to prevent the people from
being imposed upon in this respect will b
wise aud beneficial ..-= ..-
