ANOTHER campaign has to be made against
the Oklahoma 'boomers," and the troops are
again to drive out these men and their fami-
lies that have settled on the lands in the
Cherokee strip" Ordinarily it would seem
that single order to the effect that those
lands could not be settled on would be suffi-
cient, but it is apparent that it is not so in
this case, and settlers have to be expelled
from that country at frequent intervals. The
explanation is to be found in the laxity with
which the laws in general are enforced These
men have come to understand that the orders
against them will not be executed, and hence
their apparent determination to keep on defy
ing the law until the authorities get tired of
moving against them, when they hope to be
allowed to remain in undisturbed possession.
1t cannot be denied that it is cruel kindness
that does not impress it upon them that they
will not be allowed to remain there until such
time as the government shall throw the land
open to settlement, when all American citi
zens shall be afforded an equal chance to take
up homesteads there. 1t would be gross in
justice to allow these men to anticipate and
defy the law, and thus shut out others who
are just as anxious to get homes there, but
are inclined to respect the law. There is no
reason why handful of men in Kansas
should be given the advantage of men in other
States, and they should be kept out of
that 'sstrip' at any cost. If the government
would give them to understand in some way
that they will not be allowed to go in there,
and if they do they will not only be expelled,
but will be held to criminal responsibility, a
stop will be put to the venture and much dis
tress will be saved the men themselves. 1t is
this dallying with the law and its prompt and
impartial enforcement that encourages law
breakers of every degree to persist in their de-
fiance of all legal restrictions The Anarch-
list, masking behind the privilege of free
speech presumes to breathe forth sedtion and
treason. Under the cover of his privileges as
an American, interpreted by himself, he
breaches riot and discord, and is brought up
at last when he has gone to such lengths that
his elderly" must be abridged in the interest
of society. It were better to at once rebuke
him when he begins his pernicious career, for
in that case he will be spared the encourage
ment that forbearance would give him. and
he would not embolden others to accept his
unpatriotic declarations as the best Of senti-
ment. For this reason it would be merciful
to hang the miscreants who have been arrested
at Chicago for having led others into acts
that cannot be tolerated in free country
without inviting the gravest dangers to ali
who live in it.

IT has been suggested that sit is creditable
to the South that probably not more than five
of the Senators from that part of tine country
have an income exceeding their salaries" In
one sense this may be creditable, and in an
other it is not. 1t is scandalous and untrue
to convey the idea that wealthy man is
necessarily corrupt or dishonest man. A
man may have large fortune and enjoy
large income without being anything but of
the strictest integrity. He may be, and very
frequently is, the benefactor of his race, just
as the leaders of an army are the salvation of
its component parts. Intelligent direction is
as essential as hard labor, and is as honorable
sands may be as good citizen as one who has
no income at all, but who must depend on the
result of the efforts of his two hands for his
daily bread. It is foolish and worse to lay
down the rule that the man who has the
genius to accumulate fortune is neces.
sarily rascal. He may have Sc
cured every dollar of his fortune in
a perfectly legitimate manner, and in such
way as has been to the benefit of those about
him, in that his superior wisdom has been the
means of affording remunerative employment
to many others, who otherwise would have
been at a loss for something to do to earn
their living. Of course it is creditable to the
South that she has not sent men to the Sen
ate who have bought their way there, but it
does not follow that the men who have been
sent to the Senate from the South are any
better by reason of the fact that they are COM
paratively poor. There have to be leaders in
the army and leaders none the less in the
field of industrial enterprise. All can not be
officers nor can all be privates. There is no
credit in itself in being private, nor any re-
proach that we know Of in being an officer
There is a good deal of demagogy afoat in
popular governments, and it is hard to pre-
vent its circulation, and this is bit of It.
There have undoubtedly been cases in which
rich men have bought their way to the United
States Senate, to the shame of the people who
have submitted to it. Such cases should be
merciessly exposed and the men guilty should

A Bit from sherman's Memoirs.

Here, in this bit from Shermans book may

tween Grant and Sherman that meant so much

so much in history. 1t was not long after the

MRS. LUCY STONE the well-known suffrage
advocate, thinks ''the time has fully come
when the suffrage Of women may be greatly
promoted by dramatic representation. She
says the subject is full of tragedy, comedy
and pathos. The great trouble with l., cy's
scheme for advancing the cause is, that the class
of persons who devote their time and atten-
ton to the writing of plays are of frivolous
sort, unable to appreciate the tremendously
serious interests involved in universal suf-
frage These giddy writer's can see plenty of
comedy in the subject, but, unfortunately,
what they regard as such is Mrs Stones trag-
edy turned wrong side out. The cause Ger
tainly cannot gain by incorrect representa-
tions, and unless one of the champions of en-
reimbursement devotes herself to the produce
ton of drama that will stand suffrage test
the project had better be abandoned.

Trouble Over Cheap Tickets.

Philadelphia Special.
The Board of Public Charities here are having
considerable trouble over the ST. emigrant tickets
from the seaboard to the West which the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company sold abroad last fall
and winter, and which not now honored by
that company. Within the past month a num-
Der of immigrants have arrived here expecting
to go West on these tickets purchased on the
other side, and on finding their mistake have APP
pealed to the Board of Public Charities for assist
ance, not being supplied with money to pay the
additional fare. A representative OF the board
called on General Passenger Agent Wood. of the
Pennsylvania railroad to-day, but that officer
said he could give no aid The tickets were
limited to six months and three months and
were so stamped. Mr.. Wood SAYS that the fault
is either with the emigrants and the steamship
companies on the other side, tho emigrants

be driven out in disgrace. But it is unfair
and dishonest to sweepingly condemn all men
who are not poor men as unfit to occupy seats
in the highest aw-making body in the land.

THE conviction of Alderman Jaehne is a

satisfaction by every honest man in the coun-
try There is this in the result of the trial.
however: Had the same feeling of hostility
to official dishonesty obtained in the past at
all times, the result of this trial would not
have attracted so much attention, because of
the fact that it would have been in accordance
with the way such cases were always disposed
Of Indeed, had sense of public honesty OBJ
tanned at all times, the chances are that Alder
man Jaehne would not to-day be resting I'M
der conviction as a man who had been cor
rupted by bride, because he would have
feared the law. The way to encourage official
honesty or rather to deter rascals, is to
promptly and impartially enforce the law in
every instance of it's violation. This done,
and it will not be considered popular to de-
spise it. 1t is, therefore, the plain duty of
the authorities at Chicago to strain point in
the law if necessary to convict the villainous
Anarchists who have been apprehended in the
worst crimes that the law takes cognizance of.
If these men are hanged, not imprisoned and
made martyrs of, the effect will be wholesome
in restraining other men who otherwise would
be encouraged to initiate and emulate their
example, under the false impression that they
are heroes, paving the way to greater free
dom. Nothing less than hanging will do in
their cases, and it should be done as soon as
possible, so that the effect will be felt right
away. There is no sentiment of vengeance

not be revenged upon such fellows, score of
their worthless lives not atoning for one OF

Ex-President Arthnr,s Condition.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Times this morning
says: lex President Arthur's condition has
been steadily growing worse during the past
week, but he has not relapsed so far as to have
lost all the ground gained during his unexpected
rally of about ten days ago. Some of the more
enthusiastic of his friends believed the turn for
the better had come, but the steady decline since
then has dampened this enthusiasm, and there
are few, if any, who now believe that the ex-
President will ever again leave his house alive.
Sudden and unexpected rallies. followed by
gradual but steady declines are the peculiarities
of Mr.. Arthur's disease, which are we'll known
to the physicians, and watched by them with
grave fears The danger is ever present that the
poisoned blood of the patient will suffuse the
brain. and when that happens the victim of
Brights disease feels the last of his sufferines.
Mr. Arthur bears his confinement patiently and
bravely, and knowing. as he does, the hopeless
ness of his case, makes the labor of love of his
attendants as light as possible by his gentlenesa
and unvarying cheerfuness."

IT is altogether creditable to the Chicago
Bohemians that they take the trouble to deny
that men of their nationality are responsible
for the recent riot. No honest man wants to
feel that fellow countryman of his had any
thing to do with it. 1t is evident that it will
be popular to hang the Anarchists to man.
The cheap 'heroism" that they have laid
claim to will be dissipated quite thoroughly,
and there will be no martyr business about it
in any way.

The friends of BARLEY Campbell, the
dramatist having decided to place him in an
insane asylum, where he rightfully belongs
it is to be hoped that the enterprising press
reporters will give the public a rest on news
concerning his private affairs and daily doings
Campbell is deserving of no sympathy, and is
not worthy the notoriety ne has achieved by
eccentricities growing out of his alteration.
The causes which have contributed to his
present pitiable condition have from time
to time been vaguely limited, and, if
common report can be relied on, it would
be an offense to proprieties to continue to
speak his name in the presence of people who
have not become callous to all sense of shane
The mantle of charity, which has so often
been misused to clothe sins peculiar to the
dramatic profession, should also be made to
serve the double purpose of hiding Mr.. Camp
bell and his vagaries from public gaze forever
There is no license, however exclusive and
privileged the dramatic profession may appear
to be- that can persistently defy the common
law of morality and decency; and instead of
paying homage and building monuments to
men of the ilk of BARLEY Campbell and
John Mccullough, the world will be better
served by consigning their memories to dark
ness and oblivion
