Oklahoma Payne Azain.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: 1t APP
pears that at last Capt. Payne has grown
weary of being put out of the Indian
Territory He had an idea that hecould
tire the government out, and there is no
telling how far he came from succeed
ing when his determination failed.
His case has been somewhat similar to
that of the tramp who WAS engaged in
stealing a ride across the continent.
Once, after he had been kicked as usual
out of the cars by the conductor, he was
asked how far he was going. He re-
piled that if his breeches held out he
was going to San Francisco. Payne's
breeohes seem to have given out, and
the relief to the army at this fortunate
turn of affairs must be great indeed.
About half OF Its responsibilities have
been lifted from 1t. SURPRISING Indian
outbreaks and keeping Payne out of
Oklahoma divided the honor in making,
according to Gen. Sherman, the United
States army the hardest worked body of
men in the world.
The Payne difficulty was rather more
fact that an Indian would he killed Oc-
casionally. Not so with Payne. The
law only imposed upon him the labili-
ty of a fine and being led 1ut of the for
hidden region. He had no money to pay
the fine, and hence could only be led out.
If he had been pricfed by bayonet or
treated disrespectfullV, he could have
sued the government for damages. The
war department and the executive have
pleaded with congress for years for some
kind of law that would reach Payne
and subject him at least to one satisfac-
tory kick, but in vain. Every time he
lodged in through the boundary line he
had to be found and gently led out. In
the way of shoe leather alone there is no
telling how much Payne has cost the
people, while in the matter of transport
ing troops he has been the cause of a
very considerable item IN the Pacific
railroad account
Payne has apparently come to- the
conclusion that he has only to signify
to the government that he is tired OF
this child's play, and that he proposes
to settle in Oklahoma in earnest, to put
an end to the long series of elections he
has been subject to. Therefore he adopts
the mild but firm measure of applying
to the United States court for an lnjunc-
tion against the secretary OF war, Gen.
Pope, and whomever else il concerns,
prohibiting any and all of them from in
terferriDg with his appropriating and
living upon certain land in the Indian
Territory. We presume that MIR Payne
will be disappointed IN getting his in
junction, but he will do some service If
he secures from the national courts an
expression as tn the status of the region
10 hfaNlh
that status in the minds of disinterested
men, but Il is well that doubts should
be settled in those of the interested. The
only gloomy feature in the present
phase of the case is that If the decision
of the courts is against Payne, there is
TO prevent him from renewing
his old plan of tIrIng ont the army !

DUNLAP, Kans., May, 30.

We met MIR. Walgamot, ol Ottawa, IN
Dunlap looking fog stone for building
purposes for Mr.. Rohrbaugb, OF Ottawa.
We would say TO those who anticipate
building in Ottawa that they can see 8
small sample Of the Dunlap stone at the
Journal Office. THIS stone is of finer

house at Topeka; we compare it with

quality; and we think just as stout
