A Lively Election.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 21.-To-day was
one of the most exciting days in the his
tory Of the city. About six weeks ago a
faction of citizens, after trying to induce
the council to call a convention for the
purpose of framing an amended charter,
formed one themselves and called an cleo
ton for the purpose to vote on it. AS it
provided for the immediate ousting of the
present city government, the United States
troops prevented the election. Two
or three weeks ago charter pre-
pared by committee authorized
by the council was voted down.
The original charter faction then called an
election on the charter for to-day, again
without the consent of the mayor and
council. Gen. Merritt again sent orders to
Colonel Snyder to prevent the election

Base Ball Gessip.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-The base ball
event of the season here to-day was the
announcement that the Brooklyn and Gin
cinnati clubs had determined to jump the
association and seek admission in the
league. The Continental hotel, at which
the Brooklyn and New York clubs are
stopping, presented a busy scene to-day.
The fact that President Byrne of Brooklyn
and President Day of New York, were on
hand looking after their clubs interest
naturally added to the general excitement.
Byrne, upon being questioned regarding
Brooklyn and Cincinnati, stated that the
published accounts were surprise to him.
He knew nothing Of ftthae Cincinnati clubs
affairs and presumed his friend Stearn was
able to protect his clubs interests. So far
as Brooklyn was concerned, Byrne had to
say only that Brooklyn was club mem

schemes to Colonize the Blacks.

Mr.. w. P. Calhoun, of Abbeville, S. c.,
has PROJECT for colonizing the blacks of
the south in New Mexico. There appears
to be good many projects for colonizing
the blacks. A man i'll Texas has one for
colonizing them in Mexico, claiming to
have received an immense concession of
land from the Mexican government for that
purpose.
There doesn't seem to be much use in dis.
cussing projects for the colonization of the
blacks. They can't be colonizsd without
their consent, and they are not going to
leave their present homes in any consldera-
BILE numbers. They are very well satisfied
where they are. They know that nowhere
else could they make a living so easily, or
have so many OF the comforts of life. There
are a few of them in every commu lity who
could be induced to emigrate to Mexico. or
New Mexico. just as a few years ago some
were induced to emigrate to Kansas, but
the number is 80 small that they would not
be missed.
New Mexico is big territory-twice as
big as Georgia-but a great deal of it is
a desert. The part of it that is inha oit ia
BILE would not support all the blacks in the
south even if, when located there, they
should be thrifty and Industrious. 1t would
cost something to send them there and a
great deal more to support them until they
could support themselves. There are many
white people there-about 150,000-and a
few Indians. They would have to be re-
moved from the territory and their lands
purchased. If the purpose was to create a
negro state, the presence of white people in
the territory would not be desirable
To carry out Mr.. Calhoun's scheme, if it
could be carried out, would cost many
millions of dollars-in fact, hundreds of
millions, and no congress could be induced
to spend that amount of money upon any
scheme, particularly colonization scheme
The blacks are in the southern states to
stay. There is no doubt about it, and it
is useless to consider schemes for coonizing
them. The thing to be done with them is
to make them worthy of the citizenship
which they have. 1t may take half cent
ury, or even century, to do that. and it
may not be possible to do it at all, but the
effort can be made.

The Betterment MIDDLE.

The MORNING NEWS expressed the
opinion that the legislature made mistake
when it Apo nted oBmittee to receive
from the claimants for compensation for
betterments On the state road a statement
Of their claim. and 1t is pretty well agreed
by this time probably that the opinion was
a correct one. The claim could have
been presented to the legislature just as
well without the all of a committee, ap-
pointed especially to take charge OF it, as
with it. The claimants, however, wanted
a committee appointed for the reasons prob
ably that its appointment would be an
official recognition OF the existence of the
claim, and also because they hoped to be
permitted TO present arguments TO the com
mittee in support of it.
The action of the committee in agreeing
to hear oral arguments in support of the
claim did not meet the approval OF the
House, and consequently there was trouble.
Some Of the members of the committee
resigned, and no progress has been made to-
ward settlement of the betterment ques-
ton. As the MORNING NEWS predicted,
the appointment of a committee opened
the way for another discussion of that quss-
ton, and the outlook now is that tho legisla
ture will have to remain in session several
weeks longer than it would if this new phase
of it had not been permitted to be presented.
1t seems that the claimants now purpose
to make trouble for the state after the expi
ration Of the lease if their claim is not paid,
by undertaking to collect the amount of tle
taxes which have been paid to the state of
Tennessee on that part Of the road which
is situated in that state 1t is alleged that
the state in its contract with the lessees
agreed that the road should be exempt from
taxation, and that therefore there is q valid
claim against the state for something like
$780, for taxes paid to Tennessee.
The state could not exempt the part of
the road that is in Tennessee from taxes,
and the lessees knew that it couldn't They
could not have expected. therefore, that
they would not have to pay taxes on that
part of the road. All the state could do
was to exempt from taxes the part of the
road that is in Georgia. II there had been
an understanding that the state would pay
the taxes due in Tennessee, it would have
DCoh OF SbdOeu uOupJlesS III tue ledSe, anu
the lessees would have promptly called on
the state to pay them whenever Tennessee
presented her bill. The fact that the taxes
due in Tennessee were paid by the lessees,
without any reference to Georgia's alleged
liability to pay them, is pretty good evil
dence that nobody ever thought the state
liable for them. If Georgia had agreed to
eli 0N,,1J E
paying them when the lease was made.
The probability is that the legislature has
no reason to be alarmed about any claim
for taxes paid by the Iessees to the state of
Tennessee. The states property, it is pretty
safe to say, will not get into the hands Of the
authorities of Tennessee by reason of taxes
which have been paid to that state by the
lessees

The Fight for the Fair.

New York and Chicago are the only
cities that are making much Of an effort to
secure the worlds fair. Very little has
been heard from either Washington or st.
Louis about the matter recently. The fact
that Washington could not furnish salts
factory accommodations for visitors during
the Knights Templar celebration there this
week would seem to be sufficient to rule her
out Of the list
Our dispatches yesterday stated that
S6,0000 900 had been subscribed in Chicago,
and that 100000 more were in sight
Chicago is certainly showing an amount Of
push and pluck in this matter that will
command a great deal of attention from
settle the question of the location of the
fair
New York hasn't done great deal yet,
except to boast what she can and will do.
She has selected site, but she has not sub
scribed anywhere near as much money as
Chicago. 1t is probable, however, that she
will not be behind Chicago in the amount
Of her subscriptions when the time comes
for showing what each city is prepared to
ton should be much larger than that Of
Chicago, because she is far richer. Doubt
less her rich men viii show more liberality
If a little stronger pressure than there has
yet been is brought to bear upon them.
The fight in congress between the differ
ent cities for the fair is going to be an
interesting one. Chicago no doubt will be
supported largely by the west aud part of
the south. New York can depend upon the
east and the larger part of the south. If
the choice is between those two cities there
will not be great deal of difference in the
number Of votes which each will get in
either The House or the Senate.
There is no doubt that the arguments for
New York are stronger than those for Chi
cago. If the foreign countries which will
take part in the fair could be consulted they
would decide, undoubtedly, in favor of
New York, because that city is so much
more easily reached. That being the case,
the attendance, if the fair were in New
York, would be much larger than if it were
in Chicago. Upon the attendance depends
the financial success Of the undertaking.
There will be great deal of discussion of
the advantages which the different cities
claiming the fair possess for it, and news
paper readers will have an opportunity to
learn more about these cities than they
have ever yet known. Already they have
found out that New York and Chicago are
not as admirable in every respect as they
have been represented to be, if what they
say of each other is true
