SENSIBLE ACTION.

Dir. B. r. Harrington of Oklahoma
station, Oklahoma, was in Wichita Sat-
urday and from him the EAGLE learned
that the settlers in that country, contig-
uous to the station, held a mass meeting
Thursday for the purpose of devising
some plan for action in regard to hold
ing or attempting to hold claims prior
to decisive action by the government in
opening the territory to settlement. 1t
was unanimously agreed that all claims
to lands should @ at once abandoned
and no further claim set up or asserted
or any action taken that will in any way
conflict with the proposed bill now before
congress or any other measure of like
import that may be brought before that
body. In fact they agreed and resolved
that they would do nothing that will
in any way embarrass the government
in the matter of opening that country.
MIR. Harrington intimated that quite
number who had gone into that country
with the intention of selecting locations
in anticipation Of its early opening to
settlement and of remaining upon the
same, had slgnified their intention to
Quit the country and await the action of
congress before returning.
The action of these people in this mat
ter is the most sensible thing they could
have done. By that course they put
themselves on an equal footing with
everybody else, for it is evidently not the
purpose of congress to legislate upon the
question in such way as to give person
or persons undue advantage in possess
ing the lands referred to.

KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA.

The Hutchinson News sends out blank
petitions against the opening of Oklaho-
ma by congress. Last spring when
Kansas was anticipating continuation
of its boom. when the railroads and the
state were making extensive arrange
ment for excursions to Kansas from the
east, the opening of the territory would
have tended to divert such immigration.
But the excursions failed, the boom
failed, the crops failed, railroad building
came to an end, the laying out
of new towns and additions to
towns already established ceased
homestead lands have been ex-
hausted, and with this condition, has
ended for the present the speculative
period in Kansas. The boom period has
passed, and prosperity will come only
when dug out Of the soil in the way of
surplus crops.
The opening of Oklahoma would start
a greater Immigration to this portion of
the west than has ever been witnessed.
The settlement of the territory would re-
move the frontier from our southern
border, it would be followed By the build
ing from this part of the state to the
gulf new lines of railroads, result
ing in shortening the distance
batween central Kansaa and salt
water, by some five hundred miles in
cost of freight. 1t would improve the
climate of Kansas just as fields of grain
become substituted for buffalo grass in
the Territory. Opened to settlement, the
Territory would prove a greater incentive
for drawing immigration than we can
offer in Kansas for some time, and we
will reap a share of the benefits. Be-
sides some city will build up in central
Kansas as the initial point for the roads
that will build to the gulf, and such
city may become the commercial me-
tropolis for this part of the state. We
see therefore no detriment to Kansas in
opening Oklahoma.-McPherson Free

The Democrat publishes the call issued
for the convention by the Board

A Practical Absurd1ty.

Sam Small breaches a very plain and
sensible sermon to the prohibitionists on
the folloy of their course in politics. The
election returns show, he points out, THAT
they held the balance of power in fifty
two congressional districts this year, but,
instead of using that power in an effec-
tive way by giving it to one of the two
great parties, they nominated candidates
of their own, and thus threw away their
strength. Such action, he truly declares,
is sacrifice of principle to party, be-
sides being absurd from the practical
DOint of view

Three new words are left to our politi-
cal vocabulary as reminders of the cam
paign of S8-"spellbinder," ''wind jam
mer" and 'jawsmith.' A spelIbinder is
defined as political orator or writer
who spreads such a charm over his
audience or readers as to induce them to
abandon Democratic faith for Republic
can faith. A windjammer is a spouter
whose fulminations swell the heads of
his hearers for the brief time of his dis
course, to be deplored on the morrow,
along with other last nights dissipa-
tions. A jawsmith is fellow who has
chronic stomach-ache, but never quits
talking out of respect to it. He can
start his mouth going, then leave it, and
it talks just as well as when he is pres
ent. He is the greatest nuisance of the
three because Of his great persistency.
