THE Oklahoma question has become one
of national Importance, aud one in which
humanity and justice seems to call for n set
tlement on very different basis from that
now proposed Four hundred boomers, with
their families, poorly armed and equipped,
boldly assert that they have right to
the land they hold, and that the rich tract
should be opened to settlement, asserting
that neither Congress nor the Attorney
General will decide against them, They
defy removal by other than legal action
and threaten a resistance which would in-
yolve the utter annihilation of their party.

The South and Education.

The Boston Herald, commenting on
the theory advanced by Ex-Governor
CHAMBERLAIN that Federal aid to
education would work harm to the
cause of education in the South for the
reason that it would cause the States
to relax their efforts, says:
st must be remembered that what
is lacking in the South is not merely
education, but sense Of its necessity.
Therefore, any measure Of national aid
ought TO contain provisions to secure a
more liberal local policy in favor of
common-school education. Bounty un-
wisely bestowed does not help. 1t is
much better for people to help them
selves when they can. The right thing
to do is TO encourage the southern peo-
pie to help themselves in this matter of
education by giving each State an equita-
BILE sum in proportion to the amount
raised by local taxation"
We are glad TO see the Herald sup
port the BLAIR bill, but it has fallen
into one error. If there is one thing
that is susceptible of proof in connec-
ton with this question, it is that the
South does appreciate the necessity for
education. The facts and figures show
that the liberality of local policy is
only restricted by inability. The peo-
pie of the South have helped them
selves as far as possible, and have de-
monstrated beyond question their
right TO such encouragement as
