New- York Herald, which had 1t from Mr.
Thomas Dunlap, who had it from ex-Governor
Seymour. Seymour, it appears, explored Cleve-
land; Dunlap explored Seymour. and Ih0
Herald explored Dunlap; and so at last the
Democratic party has valuable information
about what sort of man it elected
There has been some question, even IN the
minds of enthusiastic Democrats, in regard 10
Mr.. Cleveland's intellectual stature. Some
Democrats, indeed, went so far as to say that Nc
was big beefy man. But that is all mis-
take Dunlap says that Seymour says ne Is " a
big brainy man." This Is encOu raging, though
it may have been observed that, in the estima-
ton of many people, the man who is only Deefy
before he is elected becomes brainy afterward,
and the pot-house politician quickly blossoms
into q great statesman. There were doubts, too,
in the minds of many Democrats about Mr.
Cleveland's suliicency of experience. But these
doubts are happily removed. Mr.. Dunlap says
that Mr.. Seymour says that Clevelands admin
istration, he thinks is likely to be mot only
successful but brilliant One." 1t is so good
to learn all these things, if not absolutely at
first hand, so to speak, at any rate with only
two people between the man explored and the
exploring journal. The fact is there has never
been a more brilliant feat, in what may be
called journalism of the circumpOlar and
Central African variety, than this splendid ex-
ploration of the unknown and inaccessible
Cleveland by one of the journals which aided
most zeaously to elect him.

to the necessity Of making them obey the laws
of tho country, every one will be sorry IL any
loss of life results from their ignorance anu
perversity.
Should they abandon their wild and foolish
purpose of resistance to the United States
troops 1t is possible that Congress may be IN
duced to take up and deal seriously with the
questions which underlie this whole trouble,
and which really grow out OF the
maintenance Of an Indian system which
is condemned by all who thoroughly understand
its workings. But if they refuse to listen TO
reason they will put themselves in the category
of lawless raiders who can only be treated with
severity, and they will then be entitled to no
sympathy if they sustain injury. The author
ity of the United States must be upheld against
all private assumptions. 1t Is not the President
or the army that these men are defying. 1t ls
the American people, whose agents the Execu-
tive and the troops are. 1t is strange
that citizens, many OF whom are SAID
to have served in the army,
should not perceive the hOpelessness and utter
untenability of their present position, or should
endeavOr to cheat themselves into belief that
it is justified by sOphistical talk about authori-
ties.
If, as now seems, they will accept no de-
cision but that of bullets and bayOnets, they
must be left to the fate they have invited.
Under the circumstances their expulsion can
not be avoided, and it can only be hoped that
even at the last moment they may reconsider
their rebelious resolves and go out of the Ter
ritory quietly.

THE OKLAHOMA TROUBLE.

The Oklahoma " boomers appear determined
to resist the authority OF the United States. al
though in theirpubished manifesto they incon-
siscntly declare that we are not here TO defy
legal authorities" What they are in fact defy
ing is the proclamation of the President of the
United States, and they have taken upon them
TO assert that this is nota illegal authority
1t is to be regretted that these obstinate people
should render it necessary TO Use force in their
expulsion, but that their attitude does render
TINS unavoidable there can be no doubt. Their
mistake lies in the unreasonable assumption that
they are entitled to decide for themselves what
is law and what Is not law. They seem to
think that their conclusions are just IA weighty
as those of the Courts and The Executive, and
that il the latter 90 not happen to agree with
them it is SO much the worse for the constituted
authorities. Under the influence of this dc
lusiOn they are now preparing for acts of overt
rebellion which will bring them within the
pale of martial law. 1t is pity that
there is no one on the ground with
sufficient influence to reason with them,
for while. there cannot be two opinions ~

RUEF1IO AND BLOOD.

n this should meet the eye of Mr.. George Dolby,
at one time agent for Charles Dickens, we earnestly
advise him to keep away from Buffalo For Bunaio
Iongs-yea, even 'thrsts-fOr the blood OF Dolby.
When last heard from the city as one mainland
more particularly as one woman-hah aireany
hcaped pile of curses high as the Washington
Monument and red with uncommon wrath upon
the head of Dolby. Aud besides, by way of con-
tributing to the harmony of the occasion, The Com
nercial Adrortisr had called Dolby a British ass"
And Dolby has himself to blame for arOusing the
Numdan lion that has its home in the breast OF this
particular Buffalo. In his book he represents MI
Dickens rs being struck by the absence OF female
beauty from the readings given in Buffalo Now
If Mr. Dickens was struck this way the fact simply
demonstrates that he was suffering from temporary
blindness the evening ho was in Buffalo, and it was
incumbent upon Mr.. Dolby TO hido and not to
parade the great nuthor's. r's.mlsfortune. The beauty
of the Buffalo girls has been inferontialy famed
from time iminemorlal. The poet of n day good
deal earlier than this inquired in tones suttused by
passionate tenderness,-
Buffalo girls. are you coming out tonight,
Are you coming ont tonight,
Are you coming out Tonight ~
Buffalo girls. are yon coming out tonight
To dance by the light OF the moon
The Commercial well suggests that this interroga-
tive troubador would not have takon so much pans
TO ascertain the engagements OF tine buHaio siii'
if they were ugly creatures or even plain and
dowdy' A stronger piece of circumstantai evil
dence was never submitted. In the light of 1t. the
proposition that the Buffalo girls at the readings
were all beautiful. that Dickens was temporarily
blind and that Dolby was"a British ass for call
ing attention TO his blindness. may DO considered as
demonstrated.
But tho most nagrant Of Dolby's offences against
Bulfalo has yot To be stated. Not content with
bearing witness that Dickens was not impressed by
the Buffalo girl he asserts that the toilette OF the
Bugalo girl was notceaby inferior To that OF other
Anericanigirls Thus addcth'D0lby insult To INJURY.
For If the Buffalo girl had not been beauty the
fault would not have been hers. But dress is pro
duet of free agency. An unbecomlng gown or a
srarecrow bonnet is a prencdltation. Surely then
no punishment can bc too severe for the monster
who deliberately impressed tho printed page with
the idea that the Buffalo girl was hOmely and diin'
know how to dress
An cfligy Of Dolby will be hung and otherwise
treated with indignity on the public square of
Buffalo on 81. Valentines Day. All friends OF tho
Buffalo girl are respectfully invited to be present

a month of anxious brooding, has dissolved the

of the new year, restraining Mr.. Edison and the
Aldermen from filling the two offices just men

decision after Mr.. Edison and the Aldermen re-
tired to private life, and Judge Truax was quite
in tho right IN taking his time. Indeed, nobody
cared much how the matter turned out except
Charles p. Miller. Judge Truax is certain
that the court has jurisdiction, but as he says
that there is no case exactly like this i'll the
