Written for the Eagle.
OKLAHOMA.

Oh would you scale an Alpine height,
And would you see Lake Como bright,
And on the Amo drift along
Whilst listening to the queen of song;
Or pluck grapes with Castilian maid,-
A fairer damsel never played
Or visit Greece's sunny isles
Where sweet Helen no longer smiles?
Oh would you visit some sweet spot
Where real estate and corner lots
And booms and maps have not yet grown
Where sand-storms, billiards are un
known?
Then list while / attempt to sing
OF the land where it is always spring,
Where never the summers scorchine
heat,
Nor winters wind and snow and sleet
Invade the spot en- dulce donna,
The wished-for land of Oklahoma
Fair promised land, thy face we view,
The gentle rivers flowing through,
The rich upland and fertile valleys
Oh hasten brothers. do not daily!
Prospective orange groves are there;
Luxurious fragrance fills the air,
Suggestive of sweet southern bowers
Where one would spend his idle hours;
Wild grapes in purple clusters swing,
Red plums black birds upon the wing
And startled deer we fain would lure
Would even tempt an epicure.
On Pisgah's heights we seem to stand,
And just across is the promised land.
Moses is dead and Joshua
Alas, has fallen in the fray!
A leader now we seem to need,
A brave man-one who will not heed
Egyptian murmurs of dissension,
But boldly grasp ''the bone of conten-
tion," y
And pave the way for Wichita
TO make the best Of Oklahoma.

o'clock in the morning her cries awoke
the whole house and neighborhood.
Several persons came rushing into the
room and were astonished to find the
child in its mothers lap. 1t had re-
turned to life and is getting well. The
mother says she was weeping over the
inanimate form and kissing the cold
lips in an agony of grief, when suddenly
the little child opened its eyes, and the
next instant threw its arms about her
neck. The mother screamed with de-
light and awoke the house.

Rumors to the effect that the emperor
of Brazil has been contemplating abdica-
ton are denied from London, where his
majesty is at present sojourning. Pedro
is 63 years old and is not foolish enough
to throw up one of the fattest jobs in
the world, with the certainty of being
out Of employment during the remainder
of his life. The head of the great South
American empire is a potentate of no
mean rank. He rules a domain of over
5000, 600 square miles, not much smaller
than the United States. The population,
however, is only about 100000, or
somewhat under that of Mexico.

a call to his prohibition followers to meet

One of the inexplicable phenomena in
the politics of today is the determined
opposition of Democrats to the reduction
of the tax upon that article of prime ne

has the least effect upon them. A field
of speculation opens up here.

severations of the Atlanta Constitution
in regard to Mr.. Clevelands candidature

cisely remarks: "The writer who SAYS

quire. Ample water power has been de-
veloped at Derby, just south of this

The Atlanta Constitution says: ga
Democratic victory in 1888 is much more
important to the south than the success
of either protection or free trade ideas.
a Republican victory means disaster to
the best interests of the south, and for
that reason we want to see Mr.. Cleveland
make the race again, no matter what
his platform may be- If anybody has
been simple enough to believe the south
would divide on the the tariff or any
other issue in national contest, he is en-
titled to the premium offered for evidence
of greatest credulity. No, indeed; the
south is as solid, politically, as it ever
WAS.

Our esteemed contemporary the New
York Sun, whose precise use of the En-
glish language has been a matter Of pride
with its editors and of reputation with
the paper itself, has already worked one
pernicious contradiction in speech. 1t
has made best and worst mean the same
the two extremes autualiy meeting.
When one OF. its pugihstic friends worsts
his antagonist. the Sun says he chests
him. And now we have another inter
esting form of words that the Sun sane
tions by usage. 1t says ''happily they
only had to go a short ways" We beg
to inquire of the Sun what "a ways" is,
or are, or both. For at this distance
from New York it is not easy, even by
the light of the Sun, to see how a are or
how ways is. Nothing is said in the
cyciopedias-not even Mr.. Dana's-on
the subject, nor Bullion not Butler nor
Quackenbos were onto the new form"

The Arkansas statute fixing the maxi
mum rate for carrying passengers within
the state at cents per mile on railroads
more than seventy-five miles long has
been decided constitutional in the
supreme court Of the United States. The
plaintiffs in error sought to have the
statue declared unconstitutional and void
on the ground that it was in contraven-
ton of the fourteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States, but the
supreme court affirmed the decision of
the court below. The Iowa legislature
during its recent session made similar
enactment which was vigorously dis
cussed pro and con by the press of that
state. and it was understood that the act
would be contested by the railroads in
the state on the same grounds, but since
the point has been passed upon in the
Arkansas case, it is presumed the legisla-
tive act will be acQuiesced in.
