For the Eagle.
KANSAS.

Hail TO the banner state; whose loyal throng
Wait at her golden gate eighty thousand strong;
Oh broad landi Oh. blest land glad land OF the
free.
The hearts of thy children love liberty.
Sown is the golden grain, planted the maize.
Weave in her fiowery chain, laurel and bays.
oh fair land, On free land, proud may ye be,
Thy adopted children vote Loyalty.
Freedoms glad peans float from the cracked iron
throat
OF the old bell
That through the century, heralded liberty
Faithful and well.
Changed loud its brazen tongue when Freedom
young,
When homeward from the wars marched Washing
ton,
Then softer paans chant for the immortal Grant
And Illinois true son. A be Lincoln.
Times horoogue has struck the full century's
chime
Ushering the child of luck out for all time.
Ring all ye joy hells ring, Sing. all We glad hearts.

The local papers lament that Judge Otis

THE SCOPE OF THE OKLAHOMA BILL.

This morning We published two or
three of the sections of the Indian de-
ficiency bill providing for the opening of
Oklahoma. There is much that will
confuse the general reader but if the
proviso constituting the last half Of sec
ton fourteen be read a clear idea will be
gained of what was expected would
happen under it by congress. And that
is if the Cherokees will agree substan-
TALLY to the same terms of the Creek
and Seminole treaties made last month,
then the president can by proclamation
open up the whole of the territory con-
templated by the Springer bill.

The other day a western congressman
came into the senate restaurant with
two constituents, good men, but little
rustic in appearance and manners and
unused 10 conventlonalities and points OF
etiquette that are unknown IN Wayback.
The restaurant was full of ladies and
gentlemen. As the congressman seated
himself he. Of course. removed his hat.
A moment or two later he noticed that
his untutored friends had not removed
their hats. He hastily put his own hat
back on his hat and wore il during the
meal. Chesterfield could not have done

collector of customs an indemnity bond
for $500, as a guarantee upon the part of
each Chinaman that he only intends to
make us a twenty-day visit. This is in
keeping with Harrison's and the Repub-
lican party's record on the Chinese ques-
ton. and it practically throws the coun-
try open to every Asiatic pauper that can
sell himself to the six companies of San
Francisco. 1t is another exhibition of
the interest which the Republican party
feels in the laboring man. The honora-
BILE secretary was kind enough not to
issue the circular in time to interfere
with the feelings Of the %workingmen of
the northwest on last Tuesday. 1t was
dated the 30th ult., but it did not reach
this country until a little later. The
Republicans demand cheap labor, and it
looks as though they will get it.

AL AROUND DECEPTION.

The Inter Mountain speaks of Carriers
great victory. Victory. indeed! Last
year he was elected by q majority OF
nearly 5000, while this year he is elected
by the skin Of his teeth If at all. The
Inter Mountain further INDUCES in a
grandiloquent fight Of deception as fol
lows:
The special fight OF the corporations and
millionaires in Montana during the recent
campaign was made at Thomas II. Carter,
who had refused to become their tool, and
who had defed them to do their worst.
His election, therefore, is a terrible blow to
the corporate enemies Of the people and q
great triumph for the cause OF labor. whose
special champion and defender Mr.. Car
ter is.
The truth of the matter is, as a good
many people we'll know, MI. Carter on
the stump was against the corporations
but in private he was wined and dined
by their representatives and If there ever
was a man owned by them and ready to
do their bidding that man is Tom Carter
1t wa a part of the game to which the
corporations were a party, that Mr..
Carter should scalp them on the stump,
because of the votes which it would
catch; and to this little piece Of gilt
edged deception and the money and in
fuence of corporations Tom Carter owes
his election, and no QUE knows it better
than the Inter Mountain.

AN IDIOTIC BREAK.

One of the most idiotic breaks which
the Inter Mountain has made in its
after-election desperation is that in
which it declares that a Democrat voted
in the place of Mr.. Charles Roberts. a
Republican, at the polls in this city on
Tuesday last. The Inter Mountain, as
we'll as everybody else in Butte knows,
that the Democratic judges in Mr..
Roberts voting precinct know him as
we'll as they know anyother man in Butte
and that such a thing was, therefore,
just as impossible as it is for the Inter
to tell the truth. If the story
had referred to some man not so uni
Versally known as Mr.. Roberts and had
been told by anyone except the Inter
or Helena Journal some ir-
espOnsible imbecile might believe it. !

'ertaining to it is the "rockiest" bun
