The following from the New York
Sun will show that while one wing of
the Democratic party is worshipping
Cleveland, he still has his old oppo-
nents in his party: = .~
",rhe last election and the events
that led up to the greatest and most
unnecessary political disaster, Of
modern times proved beyond a doubt
that the interests of Mr.. Cleveland
and those Of the Democratic party
are not identical. They never can be
identical so long as Democracy con-
tinues to be what it is, and Grover
Cleveland continues to be Grover
Cleveland. While that fact remains,
there can be no possible danger to
Democracy in the occasion which
brings Mr.. Cleveland conspicuously
before the party for measurement and
comparison. This is equally true
whether he regards himself as can
didate for denomination or not. If
he still cherishes in secret a personal
ambition, if his promoters have in
their heads any scheme for persuad-
ing the party to barter again its all
for his nothing, the sooner the plan is
developed the better. There may be
danger to,Mr. Cleyeland's primacy, if
the word primacy is understood in the
selfish sense, as when we say Look
out for number one" but the peril to
that sort Of primacy means salvation
for the party; G% I'll IT,

The St. Paul Dispatch calls for the
Republicans Of the state to rise IN
and protect St. Paul Office seekers
from those of Minneapolis; and if
they do they will be doing as foolish
an act as did St. Paul Republicans
when they served the interests of the
Minneapolis hustlers last winter.
What few valuable offices are CAP
tured by Minnesota Republicans will
not greatly disturb the party, what
ever locality the appointee comes
from. As is explained by the Min
neapolis Tribune, all the appoint
ments TINT the citizens of that city
have obtained are on account Of per-
sonal friendships, and locality has cut
no figure in the case. It is peculiar
that all these friends should be- in
Minneapolis, and that strange fact is
made the pretext for many criticisms.

a BUSTED BOOM.


Mondays Pioneer Press published
the following from its regular Wash.
ington correspondent: The collapse
Of the Oklahoma boom is more speedy
and complete than anybody supposed
possible. The apprehension that
there would not be land enough in
the district to satisfy the demand
proved nnfounded. There is more
than enough, such as it is. The de-
mand was grossly overrated, The
number Of home seekers was absurdly
multiplied by the vivid Imagination
Of town site spectators. For one
genuine settler who went into Okla
homa to take UP Il homestead. and
develope the country there were a
hundred adventures, bent upon
making fortune without labor by
specializing upon the necessities ofthe
settlers. The population which
rushed into Oklahoma a month ago
was in the main non-productive and
ephemeral. .t
This is revealed by the experience
and records of the general land Office.
All the extra clerks hurried to the
land Office at Guthrie and King6sher
a month ago, in anticipation Of extra
ordinary business, have returned to
Washington, explaining that there
was no more work than the local of.
ficials could easily perform. Up to
the time they left less than
1000 entries had been made in the
entire district opened to settlement
That is to say, less than one-tfth Of
the tract which it was supposed
would be insufficient to satisfy the
demand for homes was taken up III
the first month after the open,
ing. This is most extraordin
airy result Of the hulIabaloo raised
over the r.sh for lands in the Okla
homa country.
On the other hand, the town o.
Guthrie claims 5000 population
though it is admitted that this i,
diminishing every day by desertions
There. are two or three other town:
in Oklahoma, though none as con
siderable as Guthrie. Taking then
altogether and allowing four or ever
five souls to every homesteader, the
town population in the district is
certainly greater than the rura
or agricultural. There are more
people squatted on town lots hoping
to make living out of trading will
the farmers in the adjacent countr,
than there are settled on farms ane
preparing to engage in productiv,
pursuits.
This is the secret of the collapse O.
the Oklahoma boom. 1t was almos
entirely speculative. People crowde:
into the the new country to max.
fortunes by grabbing and selling
town sites, not by the legitimate ant
laborious exploitation Of the natura
resources of the country. Th,
towns filed up and the countr,
remained, for the most part, an un
populated wilderness. The result j.
natural and obvious. Towns CAM
live without productive country t.
support them, and they are dwindline
day by day. The population Of Okla
homa is not half what it was a week
after it was opened. 1t will be still
less after a winter has cooled the en-
thusiasm Of the boomers. There won'
be enough people left in the territor,
next spring to hold a town meeting
But those who do stay will probably
prosper, in the end.

TWISTING THE LIONS TAIL.
st. Paul Globe: Itlooks a. if Mr..
Blaine had made up his mind. after
long consideration, to give the tail oi
the British lion little twist, just fol
the sake Of an experiment. Forum
ately for Mr.. Blaine, he has good
provoca ton in this instance for an
indulgence of his twisting propensities,
for the aforesaid lion is acting in u
really ugly and impertinent manner,
"A long time ago, perhaps as much a
half a century back, the British lion
undertook to contest with the Russian
bear for possession of the Behring sen.
The latter bristled up for fight, where
upon the former proposed an arbitra-
ton, the proposition was accepted, the
question of title to these waters was
submitted to a properly constituted
court Of arbitration, and q decision
rendered in favor of Russia. Sub.
sequently the Russian government
sold and transferred for q valid con
sideration, to the United Stntes, all
its right and title to North American
possessions, including its exclusive
rights in the Behring sen. More than
twenty years have elapsed since this
sale, and now the British government
undertakes by force to re-establish its
old claim--a claim that can be emit
tied to no possible recognition; for
independent Of all other considera-
tons, it is outlawed by lapse Of time.
With commendable promptnes:
Secretary Blaine has ordered two
American war vessels to forthwith
proceed to the Behring sea and main
tain the dignity Of this government
by asserting its absolute control over
the entire possessions, both OH land
and sea, obtained from the Russian
government.
Our Washington dispatches in.
Iicate that it is the purpose Of the
British government in raising this
row to force this country into another
arbitration, III order that the old
question of title may be readjudicat-
ed. It is to be hoped that while Mr.
Blaine has his grip on the lions tail
he will hold it fast enough to force
the British government to abandon
this ridiculous proposition. There is
nothing for us to arbitrate. If there
is any old question about title to the
waters Of the Behring sea, it is a ques
ton between England and Russia
and one with which our nation has nc
concern. We hold by a clear title
that is fortified by the statute of limi.
tation, and it would be an absurdity
for us to submit to arbitration a mat
ter that does not possess even al
element Of controversy. All that Mr.
Blaine has to do is to notify the
British authorities to steer clear Of
the Behring sea, and then, if they in.
sist OH sending their armed vessels ur
there to catch our seal, all that Mr.
Blaine can do is to give the lions tail
a wrench that will pull it out of root
The only diplomacy that is available
in a case OF this kind is feet of stee
cruisers with big guns and fighting
men aboard.
