tressing extremes in defending the
refusal of Mr.. Patrick Henry &
Company's checks for s1S5, 900, on
the bank Of Waco, Texas, offered
as security by Mr.. Henry & Com
pany for their bid on the grass
lease. 1t seems TO be a cholera
case, and any remedy to prevent a
political death Of the party is re-
sorted to. The people must be
convinced, let the means-be as un-
truthful as they may, and as sub
ject to exposure as such things
usually are. Only upon the igno-
rant and those unacquainted with
the established customs of large
money transactions can such i'm
position be played. The truth
will out some day, and the peo-
pie becoming convinced that an
intentional perpetration Of a fraud
has been committed against their
interests, will rise up. in judg-
ment against them.
Since these checks have been
declared worthless, in order that
the National members in council
may present some excuse for re-
fusing the s1S5,OO0 bid of Mr..
Patrick Henry & Co. and accept
ing a smaller one Of $4,000, it
may be well to state some facts to
the contrary, or such reasons as
will convince reasonable people
that the checks were good as
cash.
Not being able to manufacture
a better excuse for their manifest
preference to lease TO the old CON-
pany for a smaller sum than the
one offered by Mr.. Henry, an at
tack was made on the checks, in
council, by the National members.
This necessarily provoked a de-
fensc in favor of the checks. In
order that they might be passed
upon, as good or worthless, they
were subjected to the inspection Of
the business men Of Tahlequah,
who deal often in such things.
The persons who examined them
and pronounced them good, were
Mr.. James Stapler, Of the firm Of
Stapler d Son, Mr.. William
Johnston, Mr.. Johnson Thompson
and Mr.: J. j. Smith. These gem
tlemen are business men and
know what a check means.
Another objection was raised to
the checks, and that was they
were not payable to our treasurer,
and were worthless on that ac-
count. To remove this objection
Mr.. Henry endorsed them as pay
able to Mr.. r. B. Ross, treasurer
Of the Cherokee nation. who re-
ceiyed them, passing his personal
receipt for them, and not his Off
cial, as we have been told. At the
time this was done, Mr.. Henry re-
marked: Here they are, payable
to the treasurer Of the Cherokee
nation. We have endorsed them
and if you think they are bogus,
we are subject to the law. You
are in telephone and telegraphic
communication with the bank on
which they are drawn, and you
can soon find out whether they
are good or not" Mr.. Ross re.
marked that ne was satisfied the
checks were all right, or language
to that effect. Mr.. d. II Ross,
who was also present, said, 81
know Mr. Henry, and know that
he cannot afford to commit him
self to anything thstis not right. 4"
These may not be his exact words,
but are as remembered.
Those who are putting up such
a defense are in water over their
heads, and, like drowning men,
are catching at straws.

A LIBER4L DECISION,
Judge Gresham's Decision in the Cele
brated Strike Case.

Judge Gresham's Decision in the Cele-
brated Strike Case.
CHICAGO, March 14.-Judge Gresham to-
day delivered his opinion in the Wabash
case. In it he says: "For the present it is
sufficient to say that the court will protect
the property of the Wabash in it's custody.
The employees OF the receiver cannot be
obliged to remain in his service against
their wish, but neither they nor others
will be permitted to interfere with or dis
turb the receiver or his subordinates in the
possession and operation OF the property
in his custody. The Wabash engineers
are now willing to aid the receiver in the
lawful execution of his trust"
Alexander Sullivan. legal adviser of
Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, said tonight: "Every
word of Judge Gresham's decision has the
unqualified approval of the engineers.
The brotherhood will show no disrespect
to the court whose officials are managing
the road. They have no contempt for him,
either as a Judge or as a man. Indeed he
has their highest esteem. Under the law,
labor as well as capital can so organize as
to act in concert. The engineers and fire.
men are intelligent enough to do this with
out violating the law"

Looks Like a Strike.

CHICAGO, March 14.-A round hundred
delegates representing the brotherhood of
engineers and firemen of every railroad
entering Chicago were in session to-day
nearly eight honrs. When the meeting
came to close it was announced that en-
gineers from each of the roads west, north
west and southwest had formally voted to
"stick by the Burlington men," that is, re-
fuse under all circumstances to handle a
single Burlington car.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, la, March 14.-All the
freight engineers of the Union Pacific road
at this point ran their engines into the
rOundhOuse between and 10 O'clock this
morning and at the latter hour not a wheel
was moving in the yards excepting the
passenger trains. The engineers gave as a
reason for their action that they were sick
and unable to work, but the real cause was
doubtless the fact that a number of Chi
cagO, Burlington & Quincy cars were
mixed up in their trains for transportation
over the Union Pacific line.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
LEwEs, DEL, March 14.-The storm in
the vicinity of Delaware breakwater has
been far more serious than anything with
in the recollection of this generation. Ad-
ditional advices were received here to-day
fully corroborating the terrible tale of ex-
posure, loss of life and damage to shipping
which prevailed on Sunday night during
the heavy storm. 1t is stated that twenty
three persons were drowned or frozen to
death, a number of vessels of all descrip-
tions were sunk, several were SO badly
damaged that they are now practically val
ueless, while many were stranded so far
up on the beach that it will very likely re-
quire weeks to float them. The privations
of the crews were extremely pitiful, as in
their efforts to hold vessels from the shore
they were drenched to the skin, while an
Arctic atmosphere soon converted water
on their garments into ice. The men were
literally encaSed IN ice and a binding
snow which followed the gale added to
their awful sutferings. More than sixty
persons were bound hand and foot by ice
and q large majority of these are now
badly frost bitten and confined to their
beds with heavy colds. The steamboat
pier parted in three places and on the ex-
treme end were eleven men. the survivors
OF vessels which sank and who had taken
refuge there. They were cut off from all
communication with land for twenty four
hours and during that time their frail
haven threatened to be carried away by
the heavy seas which broke over them.
those Of men who were ashore. With star
walton staring them in their faces the
brave band fought the terrors of death
until they were rescued from their peril
GUS position. When they were taken off
several were incapable Of movement and
had to be lifted in and from boats which
came to their rescue.

SENSATIONAL RUMORs.
KANSAS CITY, March 15.-Rumors were
perslstently circulated here last night that
a strike will begin on the Kansas City,
Fort Scott & Gulf system at 10 a. m. to-
morrow and on the Missouri Pacific at
p. m. tomorrow.
A PROBABLE EXPLANATION.
KANSAS CITY, March 15.-The chairman
of the general grievance committee OF the
Brotherhood of Engineers, who is now in
this city, received telegram from Mr..
Arthur tonight instructing him to send
Santa Fe committeeman to Chicago at once
and intimating that the Santa Fe company
were ready to compromise. The chairman
replied by asking if the Burlington would
yield to the strikers demand in case the
Santa Fe strike was lifted. No reply has
been received from Mr.. Arthur yet.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March 15.-lt is
understood at this point that the cause of
the strike on the Santa Fe was because the
company requested the men to haul Bur-
lington cars. A committee OF the engi-
neers waited on the manager of the road
and informed him of their determination.
The officials told the committee that the
interstate commerce law compelled them
to handle the Burlington cars. This the
men refused to do. There are 1900 engi-
neers and firemen on the Santa Fe and
about 1000 on the Atlantic & Pacific who
have stopped work. All passenger trains
which started before this evening will be
taken to their destination.
WILL "STAND BY"
CHICAGO, March 15.-The meeting Of
delegates from the engineers and firemen
of every road entering Chicago were in
session oEce more to-day. They voted east
and west alike unanimously to uphold the
Burlington men.

The Egotists Wonderful Influence.

Two strangers were riding on the street-car
last night. Ore held copy Of the Evening
Egotist in his hand, and after perusine 1t awhile
said to his companion:
This is a great newspaper

"lts political influence is truly wonderful to
contemplate. see by its editorial columns that
Gen. Harrison would have been defeated if il
had not come boldly to his rescue. Several
other candidates advocated by it were also

'Why. l hadn't thought Of that before. Let's
see il we can't find out"
The two gentlemen were unable to solve the
problem by an examination of the Egotists col
umns and the other occupants OF the car, O Re-
publican, Democrat and q ProhibitionIst, when
appealed to, confessed ignorance, but suggested
an examination of its files in the Public Library.
This was done, but the result was not satisfac-
tory. They found it one day advocating the
election of high-tariff President and the defeat
of high-tsriff Congressman, and the next day
explaining its Inconsistencies. They also found
that a number Of candidates which il was spe-
cially solicitous shout being elected defeated
by eood-sized msjorities, indicating that its
wonderful influence simply the result Of a
hit and miss policy peculiar to Independent
journalism.

Candidates from Doubtful States.

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
1t scarcely accords with ones idea Of the fit
ness of things that candidates for presidential
and vice presidential nomination should inva-
commonweatns which in their vast and sure
majorities are citadels of their party strength,
should be always ignored when high honors are
to be paid
II seems unfair that Pennsylvania. for exam
pie, should pay penalty instead OF securing re-
ward. for ner splendid and reliable Republican
majority of seventy odd thousand; but it il ono
Of the unavoidable requirements OF . national
campaign, never before more clearly
shown than in the great conflict just ended.
Before the Chicago convention IN June, it was
tacitly understood as one of the necessities of
the situation that its nominees must come from
the doubtful States; and though nominations
from other States WISCONSIN included) were
made, they we're rs good as defeated before the
nominating speeches had been delivered.
Indiana and New York were, by common
four doubtful States most likely to be won
by Republican votes. or course the incident
OF place ofresidence alone could not have recon-
mended any man for nomination before
that great convention; but 'other things be-
ing equal the qualification of residence in q
doubtful State was deemed very essential; aud
Harrison and Morton were chosen because they
had the advantage Of being rs good as the best
men proposed, plus the advantage of living in
doubtful Indiana and New York.
And the wisdom Of having chosen these two
and the folly Of selection from any sure Repub-
hcan States 10 now, by the results of the cleo
ton, demonstrated. The electoral vote of Indi-
ana and New York is transferred TO the Repub-
lican column, and has saved the day, which in
oil probability would not have been the case
had these two States been ignored in the nom.
