BERLIN, January 15.-Bismarck was
present at the meeting of the Reichstag to.
day. He made d speech in which he dis.
paraged the reports published concerning
the British Niger Company. Herbert Bis,
marck said the matter is being arranged
between the English and the German gov,
erIments.
The"Reichter" criticised the Investigations
by the government for the suppression oil
the slave trade in Africa. Bismarck replied,
~denouncing the lack of patriotism OF the
liberal press, in seeking to embarass the
policy OF the fatherland for the benefit O
foreigners.
During the debate on the expenses OF the
German consulate at Zanzibar, Bismarck
said he would not now refer to the govern
ment's colonial policy but would speak on
the subject during the debate on the East
African bill, which would be submitted to
the Bundesrath forthwith.

While it is true that the licensing of

not only not t~olerable, but not entirely
desirable among people Of wider ideas Of
liberty. He might have urged, with en-

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE,

Governor Leslie's allegation of de.
reelection of duty among officers is a
matter that needs looking into. The
fact that reports which should have
been ready long before, were delayed
until late in December, shows that there
is truth in this charge. Can the Legisla.
ture do anything to promote greater eel.
Gritty on the part Of the Territorial off.
cials If so, it should be done.

q sake cognizance Of this evil and apply

20 take cognizance Of this evil and apply
remedial legislation.
The drinking habit is a vast evil, but
it is demand that keeps up the supply of
drinking places, and until people are
educated against this practice Of drink
ing, there does not seem to be any need
of beginning o prohibition warfare by
outlawing those whose business is sup
ported by a popular sentiment, for such
law would be made only to be broken. A
better way would be to educate the PEG.
pie against rum drinking.
The suggestion for a house OF reform
seems wise. 1t is certainly better to put
the young and inexperienced in amoral
atmosphere than to herd them with the
adopts in crime. The governors sug
gestions on this point deserve looking
into.
Doubtless reform is needed in thu
method Of committing the insane OF
alleged insane to the asylums. If thu
allegations Of the governor be true-ant
We doubt not he speaks almost by thu
card-immediate steps for reform arr
necessary. The Legislature should no
delay this matter.
There can hardly be much improve
ment made in the method Of treatmen'
Of the insane over that in vogue at Warn
Springs. Drs. Mitchell and Musigbrod
it is generally conceded, manage this in
stitution to the best interests OF the pa
tients as well as of the people at large
The Legislature will find no need TO-
attempting to interfere with the treat
ment of those committed to the kint
and humane care of the Warm SPRING

Political Persecution.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May eff all the
Office hunters could have heard one of the cab
met officers speak recently of the value of per-
sonal interviews, they would intermit some
of their visits. He said: These gentlemen
insist upon seeing the president and the
members of the cabinet as to their own cases
but it is ridiculous. One visit is better than
dozen, and am not quite sure that no
visit is not better than any visit. l suppose
that have been called upon in a single day
by persons who have made statements as to
100 different applicants and as many differ
ent places. 1t is in every instance the same
old story. You hear of names and hackers
AMI of local committees and of party ser
vices, and of course, sometimes of fitness for
the desired places. But it is all like mean
ingless jingle. that runs through the head.
When the president tells the applicants to
file their papers at the proper place, he
means it. 1t would be sound policy for the
applicant to do just what the president sug-
gests to make his papers as strong as he can
and then retire from the White house. Per-
sonal interviews advance no mans claims.
He may injure his chances by his persist
ence and his presence. At the end of busl-
ness day every cabinet officer forgets the
greater part of the things that have been
said to HIM, as to any particular place or
person. The general catalogue of sounds
is In his ears, but he does not classify it, and
does not care to do so. The appointments
are ultimately made after the papers in each
case are examined. 1t not unfrequently has
happened that the memory of the personal
appearance of an applicant has dispelled the
good effect which his papers might other
wise have produced. It is all mistake for
the Office seeker to infest the White house
and the departments"

"A PARTY IN INTEREST"

Additional Instructions From Com
missioner Stockslager to the Land
Officials in Oklahoma.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 4.-Land Com
missioner Stockslager has sent the following
letter to Inspector Parsley at Kingfsher,
Oklahoma:
"In reply to your letter have to state in
reference to the townsite entries in the Okla
homa country that the registers and receiv-
ers of the proper district land offices were
instructed on the subject by circular of April
1, 1889, wherein they were referred to Sec
ton 1887 and 1888 United States revised
statutes, aud instructions Hereunder con-
tanned in the circular of July 5, 1886, sub-di-
vision of II, pages and 5. The statutes and
instructions referred to are exceedingly
clear and definite. In the absence of officers
properly qualified to make entry in trust
for the inhabitants of town, there can be
no "parties in interest" except the inhabi-
tants. 1t is equally clear that private in
dividual cannot be recognized as party in
interest without showing the actual existence
of the town with Inhabitants" as cOntem-
plated in the law and instructions, the circu-
of July 8, 1886 being clear and definite as to
the proof required. The registers and re-
ceivers are instructed in case of an applica-
ton to enter by party in interest, in the
absence of the proper officials, to report to
this Office. Should any such cases be pre-
sented, proof that it is contemplated to pre-
vent any irregularities will be at hand. 1t
will not be consid cred that any more difinite
instructions are necessary.

THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT.
The Second Day Ends Without a
Choice.

The Second Day Ends Without a
Choice.
EMPoR1A, RAM, May 4.-The situation at
the end of the second day remained prac-
tically unchanged. At the evening session
fifty more ballots were taken, making an
even 200. Twice during the day the conven-
ton cast fifty ballots in fifty minutes.
Lyon county continued to vote for Scott,
but it was ruinored at night that it would
break in the morning, probably dividing
between Finch and Kelley. There are num-
larly the farmer element, who are becoming
impatient and think it is time something
was done.
The majority of them, however, are very
determined, and declare they will stay
week before they Will desert their favorite
candidate.
The probability of dark horse received
considerable attention. Ex-Governor Os-
born, General A. B. Campbell and ex-Attor-
ney General Bradford, who are here have
been put on the list as dark horse possibili-
ties.
Close observers say that it will be one of
the three leading candidates, Finch, Kelley
or Metsker. No nomination can be made
while these three candidates remain in the
race. When the break comes there will I'M
doubtedly be grand rush to get with the
winning candidate.
The friends of the seven candidates are
working as earnestly as ever. 1t is under
stood that conference of all the candidates
except Finch will be held in the morning,
with view to making a combination
against Finch. This is pretty hard thing
didates wants to be the choice of the combi-
nation. The opening of the convention in
the morning will probably see some new de-
yelopment.

The Santa Fe Stock.

New YORK, May 4.-The Railway Age in
its last issue says: The bear Spectators
have met with considerable success in their
efforts to brighten timid holders of Atchison,
Topeka q Santa Fe stock and induce them
to let go at loss, and yet in spite of an oc-
casional reverse, Atchison stock has proved
an excellent investment for those who have
held on to it. A communication in an east
ern paper shows that when the present
management took hold the stock was selling
at 81. The next year it began paying divi-
dends and during ten consecutive years up
to the present has paid out in dividends $685.
666, 553. During the same period it has is
sued rights to its stockholders aggrega-
ting SM, l36, SCI, making the total benefits to
shareholders in ten years So, SO3, 15I. Mean
time the market valuation of the stock has
risen and fallen with the fluctuations of
trade and speculation, reaching as high as
154, going down to 69115, rising to 40 and
falling in the depression that has affected
all railway properties, to about 40. With
good crops and maintained rates this stock
like others will again 60 upward and then
those who have been frightened into selling
out will be sorry and the sharp Spectators
who bought of them will be pleased.

Honors to- Tom Ryan.


WAsH1SGToS, d. c., May 7.-Hon. Thomas
Ryan. the new minister to Menco, was hon.
ored with dinner at.Welcker's:by Congress
man Butterworth, of Ohio, and Canucn, of
Illinois, his late associates on the Appro-
priation committee of the house. Four
other Ohioans and one nlinoisan were pres
ent. They were Congressman Thompson,
Sixth Auditor Conlter, Chief Postofice In
spector Rathbone, and Ex-Governor Foster,
of Ohio, and Major Powell, of the geological
survey. The dinner was entirely informal,
but the menu was elaborate and the speeches
eloquent. The three congressman who had
served with Mr.. Ryan in the house compli-
mented him upon his well deserved promo
ton. and wished him continued success in
his new field of action. Mr.. Ryan responded
In fitting terms, and feeEngly expressed his
tons In the house of representatives. He
thanked his hosts for their manifestations
of esteem, and at the close of the banquet
bade them farewell.
Minister Ryan has gone to his home in
Topeka, where he will remain for a few days
before departing for his post in Mexico. He
went to the White house and paid his respects
to the president in final interview. As he
came out one of his congressional friends
and admirers remarked confidentially and
in an undertone to a group of waiting patri-
OTIS.
''There goes Minister Ryan. In Mexico
he will have numerous opportunities for
making comparisons between the American
house of representatives in action and a
Spanish bull fight. Mr.. Ryan is a good
Judge eff cattle, and when he bets on the
bull it will be time for the matadors and
toredos to climb the fence.
