Reciprocity in Business.

The Oklahoma Boomers"

There is a very fair prospect of trouble
of a serious character between the Okla
homa "boomers" and the troops before Ok
! lahoma is opened for settlement Many
thousands of "boomers" are scattered all
along the Kansas border of the territory
and other thousands are on their way there.
The movement toward Oklahoma is extra
ordinary. the .prairies Of the west are
dotted with white-topped wagons moving
towards to the new country.
1t is a question how much longer the
troops now guarding the territory from in
vasion can keep out the boomers" without
assistance. A few days ago they drove out
several thousand who had established them
selves at Oklahoma city. The boomers
displayed good deal of ill-feeliug, particu-
larly when cir hastily constructed houses
were destroyed by the soldiers and the
stakes with which they had marked their
claims were pulled up. They may feel
themselves strong enough to defy the troops
in few days. Their numbers are increas-
ing so fast that they will soon be able to
successfully resist small army. They are
all armed and they are not lacking in cour-
age and determination.
OF course they know that the territory is
not open for settlement, and that they cannot
leg ally settle within its limits They are so
anxious, however, to GET the pick of the
lands that they are willing to take all sorts
Of chances to accomplish their object.
The President himself probably cannot
say how soon he will be able to issue
liar ati hn 70
settlers. Congress, at the end of its last
session, appropriated about s40O0,000 to
purchase the rights Of the Indians to the
lands. A settlement has been effected with
the Seminoles and Creeks, but the Chero-
KEGS claim a strip that borders on Kansas,
and their claim has not been adjusted. The
government is disposed to question the
justice of it, but it is probable that it will
pay them something for it.
When the Cherokees have been satisfied
the President will issue his proclamation,
but not before. In the meantime the cattle
barons, who occupy the Cherokee strip, are
trying to stir up strife among the boomers"
with the hope Of influencing the President
to delay issuing his proclamation until a
territorial government is formed. The
opening Of the territory will, of course, de-
stroy their monopoly of vast and rich
grazing fields
Congress provided that those who at
tempted to settle in the territory before the
President issued his proclamation, should
lose their right to homestead any of its
lands. A good many have lost that right,
but it would be difficult to identify them.
1t is doubtful, therefore, if any one will be
shut out of the territory when it is finally
opened to settlers

Mr.. Hewitt and the South.

A statement was published a day or two
ago that exMayor Hewitt, of New York,
had decided to remove his extensive iron
plants situated in New Jersey and Penn
sylvania to some point in the south. 1t
seems that that statement wss mistake
Mr.. Hewitt says that it would not pay him
to remove his plants, and, besides, he would
not feel justified in breaking up the homes
of the large number of people who are de-
pendent upon them. His purpose is, how
ever, to make large investments in the
south. He has been inspecting the iron
fields of Georgia, Tennessee ard Alabama,
during the last week, and it is understood
that he has already made extensive pur-
chases in one of the states named.
Mr.. Hewitt is only one of many of the
iron manufacturers of the country who
have decided to invest in iron making in the
south. They see the immense possibilities
of the south for iron mining and manu-
featuring, and they are confident that the
day is not distant when the south will lead
in the production of both iron and steel. OF
course other manufacturing interests will
spring up close to those of iron and steel,
auO tIO oOuAtls dlIuJob OolOI6 blo 10 aware OF
it, will be the great manufacturing section
of TIE country.
Mr. Hewitt, it is reported, win visit Sa-
vannah before returning to New York He
wants to see the city on whose wharves the
products of the southern iron fields, and the
supplies for them and the country contig-
uous to them, are to be handled. He will be
almost as much surprised probably at the i'm
provement Savannah is making, and at the
magnitude of her commerce and its proba-
ble growth as he was at what he saw in the
iron and coal sections. Mr. Hewitt ex-
pressed the opinion nearly quarter of a
century ago that the south would one day
rival tho north in manufacturing, aud
during his present trip he is seeing many
things that convince him that the opinion
was a correct one

A Story of Two Chained Skeletons.

RICHMOND VA, March 1S Private James K
Bolton, an inmate of the Confederate Soldiers

ram Merrimac the skeletons of two men. John

Bottoms story he was engaged as wrecker in
1873. The person with whom he was en- Gagged

old in Georgia.

Since the recent discovery of gold In
Southern California, Georgians have been
reminded that there are gold mines in their
own state. Gold has been found in Rabun,
Lumpkin, Barlow, Dawson, White. Hall,
Union, McDuffle, Lincoln and Wilkes coun-
ties. The mines were worked for num-
Der Of years, and some of them are still
worked. The chief mining center is at
Dahlonega, in Lumpkin county. The mines
around Dahlonega have yielded large guam
titles of gold. An old prospector, in
speaking of them the other day, said that
gold TO the value Of 100000 was taken
out of the Findlay mine, which was worked
before and after the war, and that work
had to be STOPPED before the mine was ex-
hausted, because the water came in so
freely. Another yielded nearly 81, 600, 600.
The largest nugget that he remembered to
have been found in that vicinity weighed
seventy-two pennyweights, and was valued
at $40. Last summer, he said, two pros
pectors went to an old mine, and picking out
the rich looking rocks. pounded out of them
in day $240 worth of gold.
A United States branch mint was estab-
lished in Dahlonega in 1885, and was kept
in operation until 1861. Some years ago it
was donated by congress to the trustees of
the Dahlonega college, but it was destroyed
by fire in 1888. Since then, however, a
handsome college has been erected on the
site. Tie s. gold pieces made in Georgia
are frequently found in circulation. They
have a dull, yellow appearance, and on one
side, under the eagle, is the letter CD"
The California gold pieces have a reddish
tint.
In 1891, tie production of gold in Georgia
was 1926, 900; in 1882, it was $500 in
1888, $4,000; in 1884, s137, 900; in 1885,
$136,0O0; in 1886, 1852, 500, and in 1887,
$4,000 Georgia ranks fourteen as
gold-producing state.

The democrats of Cincinnati believe that
they have good chance to elect democratic
municipal officers at the coming election
The ticket nominated by the republicans
has caused split in the Republican party
in Cincinnati, a faction Of which demands
that another ticket shall be nominated.
The democrats propose to put in the field an
unobjectionabe ticket-one that will unite
the democrats and will at the same time
attract independent voters Senator Sher-
man in the meantime is taking advantage
of the situation 10 demand that the Presi-
dent shall make more appointments in Ohio,
and particularly in Cincinnati, so as TO
strengthen the republicans A shrewd man

Lady Randolph and Mrs. Chamberlain.


few days ago it was observed that cool
ness had sprung up between Lord Randolph
Churchill and Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain in the
House. Chamberlain was passing down an
aisle Of the House when he suddenly came face
to face with Churchill. Chamberlain turned a
large, friendly and buttery smile upon the man
whom he supposed was his friend but his cor
dialty was checked by fierce, direct and in
sular British stare. Affronts of this sort nave
not always affected Chamberlain's exterior as
fate has Injured him to them, but for some
reason or other he returned the stare with one
several degrees harder and for several hours
the small talk of the House hinged upon the
exciting event Ever since that time their re-
lations have constantly grown more and more
strained. The trouble is due to the jealousy of
the wives of the two statesmen. Both of them
were asked to lend their aid to the winter car
nival and both acquiesced eagerly, with the
solitary proviso that the other one should be
shut out. AS women OF all sorts I'd conditions
were trooping in it was obviously difficult for
the managers to draw the line at either MS
Chamberlain or Lady Randolph Churchill and
the point was passed over with some awkward
ness. The great fact of the quarrel was not
suppressed.

young lawyer naturally thought this an auspi-

Tennessee's state house seems to be in
bad cordition. Some time ago the legisla-
ture authorized the state board Of health to
make thorough examination of it, partic-
ularly of the means for heating, venti-
lating and draining it, aud the report,
which has just been made, is rather
startling one. The report says that the
system by which the building is heated
is "a mere makeshift, long since
abandoned in other public buildings"
and that with it there is
no possibility of heating the Offices, corri-
doris and legislative halls with any degree of
uniformity. 1t states that during that part
of the year in which the building is most
used there is no ventilation, and that the
people who transact public business there
breathe an unwholesome atmosphere which
tends to incapacitate them for calm, health
full thought With regard to drainage it
states that the wate closets are SO situated
and constructed as to draw up foul gases
from the drain pipes between the building
aud certain body of water, and that at
times the atmosphere Of the whole lower
corridors is filed with these gases.
In the report the testimony of an expert
is introduced to show that the building is
not sound. After enumerating some Of the
signs of decay, it says: sit is difficult to
say how long 1t will be before the building
will become ruin, but it is certain that
the time, unless something is done. is linn
tied. and that great difficulty will be ex-
perienced in meeting inquiries as to why
proper steps were not taken for its protec-
tion.n
1t looks as if Tennessee would either have
TO build new state house, or spend nearly
enough money on the present one to build
a new one. If q should be decided to erect
a new building the legislature could get
some valuable pointers from Georgia,
which has just completed handsome CAPT
tol within the Appropriation for that pur-
pose 1t would hardly pay Tennessee to
follow New York's example by placing such
work in the hands of those who would get
all they could out of it for themselves and
allow as little as possible for the purpose
for which it was appropriated

A Fearless Churchman.

The venerable John Allen, archdeacon of
Salop, was frank, fearless man. One of his
rules OF life was that if he said anything CON
demnatory Of any person he was bound TO tell
him of it. Obedience to this rule got him into
more than one serious difficulty.
On one occasion he was told that bishop.
second to none IN influence and ability, who
was accustomed to write when he Travelled, had
kept some people out of a railway carriage by
saying occupied, when in reality the next
seat to him was only tenanted by his papers.
Then he told a lie said the archdeacon.
On his return home he wrote to the bishop
what he had said, and ended the story with the
words; II am sorry that, IL my information is
correct, / cannot withdraw the statement"
The victim of the archd eacons candor at
once wrote to Mr.. Aliens bishop, the bishop of
Litchfield, letter of complaint and Mr. Allen
was advised to make an apology. He complied
by writing the following note:

ought To apologize for my letter TO your lord
ship. Therefore do Your lordship's faithful
servant, JOHN ALLEN"

the building Of a church. The money was not
forthcoming and the arcldeacon wrote Tor it,

time was admitted TO an interview. The noble.
man, on being asked TO pay the subscription,
declined to do So

the archdeacon, II snail put your lordsbip into

His lordship did not like the prospect, and
accordingly gave check for the amount OF his
subscription.
God loves cheerful giver, and has no re-
gard for offerings eXtorted by fear" said the
archdeacon, tearing up the check and throwing
il IN the fire.
The nobleman having learned a lesson through
the encounter afterward sent the money to the
fearless archdeacon with an apology.

President Harrison is not going to COM
plete his official term without making many
mistakes. He has already made some. The
appointments of Mr.. Wanamaker, Mr..
Cla' kson, Mr.. Walker Blaine and
Col. Fred Grant were mistakes, and a
Washington correspondent vouches for the
following: The President was just on the
eve Of sending in an important nomination
When he discovered that the proposed Off
cial was a democrat. Again, he would rot
have nominated Mr.. Schuyler for First
Assistant Secretary Of State IL be had been

Tichenor who furnished much of the tariff
data upon which the democrats base their
arguments against the oppressive tariff.
