THE Oklahoma "boomers" IL is re-
ported have agreed to again invade tho
coveted territory on the 9th of March.
They are represented IA believing that
Mr.. Cleveland will not tako tho same
view Of thoir lawless course that Mr..
Arthur has. What ground they have for
this opinion does not appear. President
Arthur has excluded them from the ter
ritory simply because it was his duty to
do 40 under tho law. IL is not likely that
Mr.. Cleveland can or will do less. II
congress does nothing in the premises
the executive should station soldiers
enough in Oklahoma to render any fur

the 'boomers" hopeless from the outset.

lT surprises US to find would-be
democratic national organ already kick
ing over the traces, and giving utterance
TO querulous complaints because tho scope
aud purport" of the conferences between
President elect Cleveland and various dis
tuguished democrats are being "shrouded
with q veil of secrecy" 1t is urged that
"the party at largo and tho people at
large" have right to be informed con-
cerning what takes place at these confer
ences. The people of course ought to be
pleased with this consuming regard for
the gratification of their curiosity in re-
lation to Mr.. Cleveland's views and inten-
tions, but after all may it not happen that
the able editors real ground of complaint
lies in tho fact that ho feels personally
aggrieved because he is excluded from q
knowledge of what takes place in tho
conferences to the secrecy of which ho
objects?

Prof Greener was correct, II seems, when he
said the recent action ofsome members OF the
Harvard Club with regard to the admission OF
colored alumni to the social club" recently
organized. did not represent the sentiment of
Harvard University. The following editorial
from the Hdrrdrd Crimson of jan. 2S, published
by the students, Is to the point
Tho daily papers are TO some extent com
mentiug on the illJudged action of the Wash
iugtun Harvard Club In refusing TO allow Ger
tain momburs Of the alumni 70 join the club,
the only Ostensiblc reason for their refusal
being The fact that the candidates in question
were COlorcd In other respects they were ad.
mittcd 10 be Of sufficient merit TO be enrolled
among the august assembly which thus sets
itself up to Judge It's fellow men. one OF the
rejected candidates was the gentleman grad
uatcd last june, who read commencement
part on the history Of his race since the war.
We had always supposed that one graduate
Of Harvard was as good rs another, unless tue
contrary were proved, and In this case the
contrary does not seem to have been proved.
We had supposed, moreover, that suCh race
preiudices as these had long ago died away ~
indeed they ever existed In great degree ~
Harvard, and that n body Of Harvard graz
yates brought together for the express purpose
Of fostering and renewing the pleasant reml.
niscences ol college life, would not take sueh
backward step ~ our representatives seem 70
have done. We do not wonder that the Outaluo
press comment uniavOrably upon this strange
action. Harvard claims to open itself TO all, TO
offer the advantages of study 70 each and all
alike without distinction. II this be the case,
II body of men. whose very organization looks
toward the Advancement Of Harvard ana her
interests, certainly make a great mistake in re-
yiving race distinction which is fast dying
out
It is by no means the custom for college
clubs TO deny admission to those whose color
may be somewhat darker than their associates.
Yale has several clubs to which colored per
sons belong and to them no objection has ever
been raised.
