THE OKLAHOMA LANDS.

PRESIDENT HARRISON last Satur-
day issued q proclamation, throwing
open the Oklahoma lands to settle
ment.
One Of the last acts Of President
Cleveland was the signing of the In
dian appropriation bill, which con-
tanned provision empowering Presi-
dent Harrison by proclamation to
throw open to settlement what are
known as the Oklahoma lands, and
also the Seminole lands. The Chero.
kee outlet, containing 6,022, ,24 acres
and the public land strip, containing
3,672, $40 acres, which are covered by
the Springer bill for the formation OF
Oklahoma territory, were not included
in the Indian appropriation bill. The
Springer bill would open up total OF
11,572,6S4 acres, and the Indian ap-
preparation bill opens up total Of
11,900,000 acres, including one-half of
the great Sioux reservation in Dakota.
The Oklahoma lands amount to 1887
800 acres, and the Seminole lands
amount to a comparatively small area.
Thus the lands opened up Will have a
much less important effect upon the
lumber business than would the pas
sage Of the Springer bill. The latter
would not only open up much
greater territory, but prescribes
governmental processes and regula-
tions which would render the situa-
ton entirely different with regard to
speedy development of the lands, and
the inducements for investing capital
in enterprises. The lands to be
opened up will be sufficient to satisfy
those settlers who have been clamor-
ing to get into Oklahoma, and there
may be q moderate sized boom for a
time, but there is nothing to indicate
that demand for lumber will be oc-
casloned through settlement that
would be sufficient to greatly relieve
the pressure that has been occasioned
by partial stagnation of trade in the
southwest. Railroads are required to
make a country commercially pros
porous, and until the available por-
ton of the Indian territory is fully
opened to settlement under suitable
form of territorial government, along
with No-Man's-Land, nothing of any
great importance is likely to be done
in railroad construction. One of the
prime objects in opening up the Sioux
lands in Dakota was the removal of
distractions to railroad extension,
which are now likely to soon push
their way westward aud carry the tide
of settlement with them.

TIE World. in reviewing the Mellow
trial and the negro jurors, says that we
have hore the most difficult and dan
gerous OF the problems growing out Of
the race conflict in the South-the
problem Of securing an impartial ad-
ministration of justice. Race questions
cannot be kept out Of important
criminal trials IN those States iii which
the conflict is bitter, and mixed Juries
will not deal fairly with any matter
which involves such questions. The
machinery Of justice is broken down
and there is an end 10 security.
History has abundantly taught us
what evils oyertake communities in
(which courts cannot enforce right and
juries will not punish crime. That con

june 2gr.-Judgo Mclaughlin, Of
the Augusta County Circuit Court, de-
cidcd case to-day ~ general interest
to Che legal profession. Several years
ago Sir and Ms. Goings English

Mr.. Goings died shortly afterwards,
and Mrs. Goings 500 course of time mar

auently encountered the farm by TWO

and upon the parties endeavoriug to en-
force their deeds. tho plea was set zap
that Mrs Saci had no Zee simple. or
vested right, and therefore could not
cucumber the property. The court held
that the vested right was iu Mrs. Saci,
and that the children had no vested

The report that there will be an extra
session Of Congress has swung around
the circle, aud when it came spinning
back 10 Statesman Brown from whom
it emana ted, he reiterated his emphatic
opinion that there must and would be
an extra session, but declined TO say
what the Presidents opinion was. 1t
seems, however, 10 be taken for granted
that the Republican leaders want TO be-
gin early so as to have a full period
for their work without the risk of be
ing broiled in the dog days Of 1890 with
a prolonged session. The only difficult
ty is that the margin Of their power m
the House is narrowed down TO very
small majority, and it is not known
whether they will he bold enough to
unseat some Of the Republican mem
bors, to do which IL would be necessary
TO endure long fight on the
rules. Most people know that the
present rules can bs used to protect the
rights Of the minority, and that if all
obstructive tactics could be abolished
the Democrats would be tied hand and
foot and PROSTATE at the feet of the
majority. The rules az they stand
were intended TO protect the people
against wrong, but they have been
nsel by crank directors and by cor
rupt men TO prevent reasonable legisla-
ton, and hence the prejudice against
them.
The Republicans desire to obtain com
plete control and work their viii, es-
pecially in certain proposed laws, TO
manacle the Democratic maj0ritIes in
the Southern States.
Understanding this, Of course the
Democrats would, at the organization Of
the House, at once make fight in de-
Tense of the rules, and if it takes all the
winter they should stand their ground
and hold the fort.
II the President il persuaded to call
an extra session, ne will appear as
favoring plan to decide the question
of organization before the regular ses-
sion. Apart from legislation in tho
line of Sothen policy, that to enact
laws for Federal supervision Of Con
gressional and Presidential elections,
the Republicans would want rs
much time as the long session would
allow to put through both Houses a
complete revision of the tariff on the
line of the Senate tariff bill. Higher
duties, moro pensions and abolition of
the tobacco taxi The idea is to further
doctor the tariff SO that there will be
increased protection of monopoly and in
creased taxation Of the necessary arti-
cles of life, but with certain respondent
pretences of fostering American labor.
The long session of the Fifty first
Congress, with the annex Of an extra
session tackled to the front of it, will
therefore be very interesting and full
of exciting incidents that viii color the
hopes Of both parties in the next
national contest.
The Democrats have the advantage
il they Will use it wisely at the start.
and their first move will, Of course.
be to make a hard fight for the rules.

THE Mellow trial has been made the
subject all over the North of general
discussion Of the capabilities Of the ne
gro as juror, aud it isa fact that the
opinion of tho colored population Of
Charleston has startled the Northern
mind. If after twenty years of cduca-
ton the colored people Of a city ia the
South can blindly put prejudice into
the scale Of justice, what says the in
telligent Northern critic, is TO be-
the final result Of the problem
of equality as proposed by
Bin Chandler, lessee and manager OF
the outrage mill for 1s0O.1S9j, which is
that festive statesman 5 senatorial term.
Can the intelligent people Of the United
States put thor ideas of patriotism and
progress on the proposition to subordi-
nate third of the country TO ignorance
and corruption, and if they can view
the humiliation of the white people
with satisfaction, where is the world to
find anything in reason that a plea OF
alleged civilization could make an ex-
cuse.
Surprising Bill Chandler could avenge
his twisted ear by Illuminating the
Southern people with his plan of Fed
eral election machine and count in a
Republican majority by the census and
not by fair elections. where would be
the pride Of this country and its spirit
of progress and enlightenment. and
where would the idea bc when the
world finds out, as il certainly
will, that the negro race is
not an advancing one, but
a perishiug race. If there is anything
in evolution - or tho survival of the
iittest, we should say that all these
criticisms of the Northern press on tho
Mellow jury should prove the hard
fact that the negro, after twenty years
of education, is not capable of being q
juror.

WHEN WI GER InE Hoosl.

Virginia shows the vast influence Of
her resources IN the daily advertise
ments We have of new enterprises,
such as mines, Improvement companies
and real estate speculations. The
shrowd pioneering mind Of the North
sees that before the great rise in values
comes on this is the propilious moment
to make an inning.
We see the Virginia towns heraldcd
all over the country. Roanoke. Dan
vile, Charlottesville and Others, and last
but not least, liberty sends forth a
pppnunclamento with real estate map
and a picture of the town with the
Peaks Of Otter looming in the distance.
The picturesque advertisement does not
eNaggerate the beauty and the advau-
tages Of any Of the Virginia towns that
invite settlement and investment of
capital.
The water lines and the railway lines
are rs convenient for Manufacture and
trade as any in the world, and the
climate is unmatched anywhere. Life
becomes agreeable and labor pleasant
when tho surroundings are so pleasant,
and when the people Of Virginia learn
how to take hold Of their own OppOr-
tunities, it Is simple question Of bust
ness 10 divide the results with those
who are able to furnish the means.
But short time ago few Viz
ginians took hold of Southern
town not so promising in re-
sources as many Of our own. and
illustrated the simple and practical
problem, that it ia only necessary to
show the world what we have and the
capital will come. In the course Of
such enterprise lies the logical develop
ment ia the now order ia tho South.
We do not use the cant phrase OF
"the new South, nor do We take any
stock in the vulgar demagogue r
laudation Of The victory Of the war and
the superiority Of the North and the
Pharisaical and sneaking pretense Of
thanking the Yankee for spanking
US Ike an inferior. The moral ciyliza-
ton of the Southern States can chai-
lenge rivalry with any community in
the world, and we do not desire to be
patrODized.
What we talk Of is the business of
the present age, and tho necessity for
putting our material resources on the
market and getting the capital to de-
velop them, and the war and the Now
South or the enlightened North have
naught to DO with the task before us.
The North has the capital and we
have the place to put it to advantage
so the wisest thing is toput the natural
resources up for so much value and let
the capital como in for its share.
In order TO hasten the accomplish
ment Of the results, the first thing that
Richmond, as the capital of the State,
needs, Is the patriotic public spirit that
ignores stingy and parsimonious hiving
OF property, and still more stringent
jealousy Of outside intrusion. 1t was a
king and a statesman who said to the
Hollanders, we do not ask you
for tribute. but pay you to come to
England"
