WATTERSON,S YLEWS

At the tariff reform Club dinner, in
New York, last week, $50 guests were
present, and many of these discussed
the issue of tariff reform. Henry Wat
tersOn said: 1.-The platform is the mes
sage-president's message. The out
look is most encouraging, considering
how the painted harlot of protection
is whistling to keep her courage up, as
she stalks across the graveyard of false
VOWS and broken promises she has
made, mainly to the working people,
should call it assured. Just in the nick
of time the president came to the rescue
with the wisdom of an impetuous cour-
age, and the craft of common sense, de-
irving its strength from its integrity,
this brave and honest man, this puzzle
to the politicians and contradiction of
all experience, with a single stroke of
his pen did what might for years have
bafiled the efforts of the greatest states
men and philosophers. BY that act he
has reversed the situation from one of
cowardly INDIGESTION to one of enthusi-
asln and confidence. He has forced the
enemy back behind his earthworks, and
warned Stragglers TO come into camp.
Upon the lines of the message, / would
rather be beaten, than win upon those
of "A lying substitute. But we shall not
be beaten. The presidents words are
presages of victory. The policy of eva
sion and repression is TO be succeeded
by a policy of fair and free discussion.

THE OKLAHOMA OUESTION

The house committee on territories
met last Wednesday to hear arguments
OH the Oklahoma bill. Representatives
of four Indian tribes were present. but
not ready TO present their views and
they were told that they might take up
two hours on the 30th inst. Capt. TheO-
dOre ). Case appeared before the com
mittee in behalf of the Kansas City
board of trade to urge that at least a
portion of the Indian Territory be open
ed to settlement. In the course Of his
remarks Col. Case said the Indian Ter
ritory had been aptly described 10y a
gentleman, who had held a judicial po-
sition there, as follows: A common
wealth without the protection of law,
yet subject to Federal legislation, pres
ent and prospective; declared to be for
eign to these United States, yet held to
be a part of the body polite; its deni-
Zens answerable to two separate and
distinct judicatures local and national).
yet by peculiar chain of clrcumstan-
ces hardly amenable to either, demon
strating the inexpediency of too much
law; the home of noble red men who are
neither noble nor red, of white men
who are not white, of squaw-men who
are not squaws, of Indians who are not
Indians, of negroes who are not negroes,
and of scalawags who are all that they
seem. Col. Case argued that it was
time to put an end to this condition of
things.

TIE CLARK conNrY POOR


Clark county does need aid, at least
the board of trade of Ashland saws
that it does. At a meeting of that
body, held last week 10th inst. the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, 1t has been brought to the
notice of the board of trade in the city
of Ashland, Clark county, Kans.. that
certain newspapers and sO-called citi-
zens have made statements denOuncinp
the statements heretofore made bV this
board regarding the fact that certain
people Ia Clark county were in need OF
aid, and whereas. statements have been
published IN certain newspapers reflect
ing upon the character and mission of
Rev. j. \. Gribble; therefore be it
Resolved, FIrst-That there are many
persons in Clark county who are in des-
titute circumstances and must be pro-
vIded with food, clothing and fuel to
prevent their suffering-Clark county
being unable to furnish the same.
Second, That the statements made by
persons here and papers abroad that aid
is not needed, are false.
Third, That we have the utmost con-
iidence in the integrity and honesty or
Rev. j. n. Gribble. who is fully author
lied to continue his work in soliciting
aid for our people, and that all persons
are assured that all aid contributed to
him or placed in his hands will reach
the proper persons.
An informal discussion took place,
engaged in by numbers of gentlemen
present, regarding the actual condition
of many of the people of the county.
The prevailing sentiment was that in
almost every neighborhoOd there are
honest, hard working families that have
exhausted all their resources and must
be cared for TO prevent their suffering.

If the editor of the Cresset would
study up on the laws and customs of
his country, he would not so frequently
appear in a ridiculous light. Last week
he wanted TO know how it was that
1.-TWO weeks after a grand jury is drawn
member of that jury should be arrest
ed and convicted of selling liquor. -
1t is plain enough. The trustee of
each township is required, once year,
to select from the tax rolls the names
of men subject to jury duty. These
names are furnished TO the county clerk
and put in the jury box. When a jury
Is wanted, whether 1t be a grand jury
or petit jury, the county clerk and two
Justices of the peace, draw out of the
box the necessary number Of names for
the panel. If these officers are honest,
land we have never heard their charac-
tiers questioned) they cannot put on or
keep off, the name of any man i'm the
county. 1t is altogether owing to what
kind of names the township trustees
furnish. If Mr.. J. i. McGinniss. trus-
tee of kiowa township, furnished the
names of saloonkeepers, he is the one
to be censured. Justices McCandless
and Macdonald and County Clerk
TaliaferrO drew out the names they
found IN the box. Sheriff Stevens sum
moned the jury as he was required to
do. We think that the trustees should
furnish good names.

\ number of wool-growers had con,
ference with a number of carpet-weav-
ers In Philadelphia. not long ago, and
the weaYers clearly demonstrated that
the tariff on imported wool is the cause
OF the low prices of the homegrown
article. a certain per cent. of import
ed wool Is used in carpet-making, and
the tariff has kept foreign wool from
coming here, and the carpet factories
have almost discontinued work, while
foreign carpets come i'm competition
and drive out the homemade article.
by letting wool In free, the looms would
again be busy, and there would be a
home demand for homegrown wool TO
mix with the imported article. Amer
can wool was never so low before the
tariff was placed on foreign wool as IL
has been ever since. This fact is be-
ing discovered by our wOol-grOwers.
and they are not kicking against the
message to any alarming extent; still.
we suppose there are some who never
owned a sheep, that will keep up the
howl, because their party tells them to

Neither Congressman Peters or Sena-
tors ingalls, or Plumb will cast vote
ut this session of congress looking to a
reduction of the tariff OH the necessar-
les of life. They will vote straight in
the interest of the rich manufacturers
OF the east while their constituents in
Kansas must pay from thirty to fifty
cents on every dollars worth they buy
for the support of the protected indus
tries. We do not pretend to know any
thing about political economy, but COM
mon sense teaches us that when we
have to pay from thirty to fifty per cent
more for an article of necessity than we
would have to pay for it If there was a
reduction in the tariff, then we know
which side OF our bread is buttered.
