A RECENT comment by North
Texas Journal on the Oklahoma bill
says:
1.-THE dispatches state that the
Cherokee Indians are becoming great
ly excited over the prospective pass
age of the Oklahoma bill in congress.
A petition signed by sixteen thousand
Indians will be presented to the SEN
ate within a few days protesting
against the measure"
Mr.. Lo can keep his blanket on. The
Oklahoma bill is a dead duck in the
legislative puddle for the present. It's
agitation has opened some 100000
acres in the Indian lands to actual
settlement and there for the present
it rests.

THE charter amendments, proposed
in the document published to the
citizens of this municipality as such,
are not such as this city can safely
pass. The opposition to this amend
ed charter is crystalizing and petit
lions are circulating against its adop-
ton. Those who circulate these petit
tions find very few of the citizens
aware Of their provisions and many
refuse to examine the proposed
amendments or take any action or in
terest whatever in the matter. The
old incubus of fear, the fear of official
hostility to those who sign petitions
against the amended charter, seems
to possess many people. San Antonio
will find her mistake if these amend
ments are passed and the new char
ter become law.

RANDALL is getting cussing from
the democratic party, which, by a
strange faulty, are not able to see
that the interposition of MIR. Randall
for protection as democrat is all that
saves the democratic party from
disintegration. Randall today is the
only democrat who threatens the abso-
lutte and universal success of the re-
publican party, but the democracy
cannot see it, With Randall other
than he is, the lines would be so
clearly drawn between free trade and
protection, that the democracy would
be committed soul and body to free
trade with Mills and Cleveland, and
that committal would prove their
death warrant. Randall holds the
fort for northern democracy and for
southern protection democrats, and
he holds it alone Cusses or no GUS
ses, he is the savior of his party.

stallion. They arrived here in good
shape, and after being fed and groom
ed at Gorrell's stables, were taken to
the farm this afternoon. The stallion
was imported from France last sum-
mer, and is registered "Trapson s.
$780," weight /, 220 pounds. He is a
black, ana is a magnificent animal.
The mare is a dark iron gray, and al
though born in this country is of pure

enjoys that distinction in this section.
She is registered as "Mignonette s.
S31, and weighs just 1000 pounds.
