Oklahoma.

The rush from oklahoma Of t.isgnsted
settlers is nearly as great Is the rush the
other way Il few days ago. Reasonable
estimate places the present population of
Guthrie at 50Oo, but what it will be at the
end Of another week is difficult to tell.
Judged by the standard of all western
towns, Guthrie should be Il place of less
than 800 people. As the country around
about it i, not capable of supporting u
larger number Four-ffths of the land
is worthless. oklahoma City is not SO
large as Guthrie, but it stands good
chance of being larger in The future. The
present population is estimated to be
from 1900 to 1000. Fewer people are 60
ing away from Oklahoma city than from
Guthrie,
Blood cnrdline reports continue to be
received from all parts of Oklahoma.
The latest report says that seven men
have been Killed in fight between sol
diers and II band of Texas cowboys.
\ small poN epidemic is now threaten
ing Guthrie and other towns in the new
territory. Joseph Ellsworth of Lead
willie, Colorado, was taken with the NAL
ady Wednesday, on his return to Arkan-
saS City from Guthrie and Oklahoma
City, and is now quarantined.

SUPPLEMENT-
The Lumber Supply.

GOV. Alger of Michigan says the future
lumber supply of the country il coming
from Washington Territory. Very few
people, he says. appreciate the extent
and superiority of the Washington Terri
tory FIR, and the only reason it is not now
brought East is the necessarily high
freight rates by rail. Some of it now
finds its WAY to New York by vessel, but
the voyage is Il long one. For several
years, approaching the fact that Michi-
gan pine lands were being rapidly ex-
hausted, have had my eye open for new
fields, and three years ago visited the
Washington region, making personal
examination of the field. think am a
fair judge of timber, and don't hesitate
in pronolneing the product of these re-
gion> in every way superior to our North
en- pine, and other countries recognize
the fact. While | was in Tacoma, saw
nine vessels bound for England Germany
and China, loading at the wharves. If
the canal is built, an enormous lumber
traffic by water will spring up, and it will
possibly come Just at the time we need it
most Fourteen years ago Michigan
supplied almost wholly the East with
spars and mastS. Now they almost all
come from Washington Territory.

The realization that our Union of thirteen
states has swelled to one of forty-two, and that
the next census of population, if its fruits
justify at all the general expectation, will show
the United States TO contain 10000 900 souls,
forces home upon Us the necessity of making
some provision for the consequent increase in
the number of representatives in Congress. 1t
Is almost out Of the question to consider the
wisdom Of making the ratio of constituents to
members any larger. 1t is so large now that
there Is danger of the members being out of
touch with opinion and sentiment among the
masses OF the people at home. Wha. remains
Is either to extend the size of the hail or re-
duee the quantity of furniture inside. In the
English parliamentary chambers the absence
OF desks enables a large gathering of legislators
to be put into comparatively small space with
ont much discomfort. A like arrangement here
would relieve the situation a good deal 1t
would deprive members, however. Of their
present means of turning their time to double
account by sitting through a session and voting
on party measures when the roll is called
while writing letters to their constituents.
Members of parliament make notes when they
choose, but it is on a slip of paper or a pad
resting on their knees. III each Congressman
were given a clerk TO do his letter-writing for
him outside of the hall he could open his daily
mail in his seat if he chose, and jot down a
word or two on each letter as a suggestion for
an answer, which would meet every demand.
In view of the alternatives, some such change
seems to be inevitable, and not many Con-
crosses hence.

As Bishop Potter suggests. the President of
to-day is exposed to certain temptations and
placed at a disadvantage in certain respects,
which were absent from the experience OF the
first President. On the other hand, neither
President Harrison nor any Of his immediate
predecessors has organized lottery scheme as
Washington did without discredit among the
people OF his time, but the alleged degenerate
public Of to-day would feel outraged if any one
Of them had done so. The father Of his country
had his failings and weaknesses as man. It
would be easy to frame a startling indictment
against the evils of the times in which he lived.
But while il reasonably deprecates a sweeping
change OF national decay this generation will
not excuse the glaring evils OF to-day by re-
hearsing those Of early times. The suggested
comparison would result only in the deacon's
humble admission: Were all poor critters"

The skeleton which was given a place al
Egyptian royal banquets to indicate that the
monarch, though enjoying luxury and adula-
ton, was merely mortal and must die, and thus
became a corrective OF pride and suggester
Of serious thoughts, was dangled on Tuesday
before the eyes of the exultant and celebrating
republic by Bishop Potter in the sermon which
formed part of the centennial proceedings at
St. Paurs church. Evidently Bishop Potter
was of the opinion that the American people at
their centennial feasting and self-glorifcation
needed corrective OF pride, and a reminder
Of defects. He pronounced vain and impotent
the endeavor to reproduce, otherwise than on
the surface, the situation of a hundred years
ago. He referred to the deteriorating effects
OF unrestricted immigration. He added:
"And. again, another enormous difference be-
tween this day and that Of which it is the ami
Sersary IL seen in the enormous difference in
the nature and influence of the forces that de-
termine our national and political destiny.
Then, ideas ruled the hour. To-day, there
are indeed ideas that rule our hour, but they
must be merchantable ideas. The growth of
wealth, the prevalence of luxury, the massing
of large material forces, which by their very
existence are a standing menace to the freedom
and integrity OF the individual; the infinite
swagger of our American speech and manners
installing bigness for greatness, and sadly con-
founding gain and godliness-all this is a con-
trast to the sustere simplicity, the unpurchasa-
bic integrity of the first days and the first
men of our republic, which makes it impossi-
bic to reproduce to-day either the temper or the
conduct Of our fathers"
Cnquestionsbly there IL foundation for the
bishops comments upon the evils Of the pres
ent generation, and 1t is perhaps best that the
republic in its day Of proud rejoicing should re-
ceive criticism as well as eulogy and gaze upon
its skeleton. But the bishops opinion that we
were practically one people hundred years
ago but are not so now, and that the people
have sadly deteriorated in virtue during this
period is not so readily sustained. Race, state
and sectional dissensions ragged more hotly
hundred years ago than at present. The peo-
pie were not practically one, and were not
bound so closely together in 1889 as in
1889. Glazing evils exist to-day which
did not exist century ago, but
the change has been mainly in the
conditions and not in the nature OF the
people. The times have altered and with them
the characteristic evils of the age. There are
some things which the forefathers did from
which We refrain with boasting of improve
ment IN the race. The things which we do
and they did not, keeping the scales even, are
also to be remembered. But human nature is
much the Same in the two centuries, and there
Is no reason to believe that, when the emergency
demands, the men Of 1889 will exhibit less in
tegrity, wisdom, and patriotism than the men
Of 1859.
