HURRAH FOR OKLAHOMA

AS viii be seen by our dispatches this
morning the Oklahoma measure passed
congress in good shape. AS passed the
bill does not embrace all the details OF
the Springer bill but it is in such shape
that the president may be able to declare
the lands open to settlement within
sixty days The Objectionable feature
of the Springer bill, that is pertaining to
town sites, is omitted, and no provision
is made for the organization of ter
ritorial government, but all the lands
EN- braced in the Oklahoma bill are
covered by the bill as it passed and the
president is empowered to declare them
open to settlement as soon as the COM
missioners shall complete negotiations
with the Indians for the surrender of
whatever claims they may still assert
thereto.
There is no question but these matters
will be attended to at the earliest practi-
cable moment.
Hurrah for Oklahoma.
Hurrah for Wichita.

Ex-President Cleveland clung to pen.
chant for vetoing measures passed by
congress up to the very last, but the ex-
ercise of his preogative in disappearing
the tax refunding bill was the straw
that broke the camel's back, so to speak.
The honorable senate rose above the
party ties and partisan bias for the time
and passed the measure over his veto by
an overwhelming majority. This action
of the senate accomplished a most
worthy though long deferred purpose,
that of reimbursing the states in money
furnished to the government in its hour
of sore need, while at the same time ii
will restore to circulation upwards OF
S17 100000 of the surplus that has been
tied up in the national treasury. 1t may
be, and is by many. taken as a whole
some rebuke TO the occupant of the
chief executives station for setting W
his Judgment, not to say personal hon
esty, above and in opposition to that of
senate, the head of coordinate depart
ment of the government.

The Cherryvale Star of the first instant

vocacy of the construction of the con-
Meeting line of railroad between Fort
Gibson in the Territory with the Missou-
ri Pacific system at point in the south
nrn part of this state via the Caney Val
ley route, making Cherryvale the object
I've point. The Star very properly and
correctly states that the real objective
point in the state is Wichita. This con-
Meeting link and the different routes
mentioned has been discussed in these
columns for years and it is not necessary
10 say anything further at this time, par
ticularly since the route has been deter
mined upon and the work of construc-
ton already well under way via the COT
feyville route. That route is not quite
30 direct from Gibson to Wichita as one
or two others that have been proposed,
but the one adopted is practically as adj
vantageous as any other.

When the father of his country cele-
brated his birthday one hundred years
ago he was president-elect, to be inaug-
urated on the 4th of March following.
But the people were not taking as much
interest in inaugurations then as now,
and when the 18th of March came there
was no quorum OF the first congress
present, nor was one obtained in the
house until the 1st of April, nor in the
senate until the 9Th, and the Inaugural
ton was postponed until April 30th. The
great state of New York, which is now
preparing to celebrate the centennial of
that Inauguration, took so little interest
in national affairs then that it was not
represented in the electoral college which
chose Washington as the first president.
The empire state has repented, so 10
speak, for its dereliction more latterlv.
Indeed. so deeply interested has it be-
come in the presidential question that
TOR years 1t has essayed to dictate party
nominations and TO practically control
the elections. Potential as il has been
in these respects its potenuality viii be

EXCHANGE SHOTS.
Origin of a Popular Phase.

The Metropolitan.
The word bear" which is used in
Wall street and other commercial cir
cles to signify person who depresses
the value of securities by selling what he
doesn't own, is thus authoritively des-
cribed in the great Oxford dictionary.
1t is information to a great many people.
We quote: las applied to stock thus
sold, bear, appears early in the eigh-
teenth century, and was common at the
time of the South Sea Bubble. The term
'bearskin jobber, then applied to the
dealer now called the bear makes 1t
probable that the original phase was
sell the bearskin, and that it originated
in the well-known proverb, TO sell the
bears skin before one has caught the
bear"

A NEW LINE TO TIE GUILE.

Globe-Democrat.
This is not year to be marked with
extensive works of construction In any
part of the country. On the contrary,
the policy of railroad management for
1899 has been shown during the opening
months in the pursuit of rigid system
of economy in all departments, reduc-
ton of train mileage and operating ex-
penses. reduction OF salaries and
diminution of labor everywhere con-
sistent with public safety. Yet glance
any day at the columns OF the Globe
Democrat will demonstrate the fact that
a great deal of extension work is going
on in all sections favored by the mild
winter, and that new roads are being
opened up in the west and south.
Quite an extensive undertaking Is
quietly progressing in the south, looking
to a more direct connection between st.
Louis and the Gulf. a new line IS
in course of construction from Alexan-
dria. La. southwark TO Pine Bluff, Ark,
where it is inteded TO connect
with the Iron Mountain and Coston
Belt systems. Its southern arms will ex-
tend to Monroe and Houston for counec-
tons with Galveston and New Orleans,
and a connection with the Cotton Belt
at Lufkin is also contemplated. The
main line between Alexandra and Pine
Bluff viii run through fine agricultural
district, with rich pine lands in the
south. 1t viii shorten the route between
St, Louis and the Gulf by nearly 200
miles.
Anair of mystery surrounds this new
undertaking, and in the south it is hint
ed that Jaw Gould is furnishing the
funds for the project. The work IS go
ing on. however, steadily at both en,is,
and il is given out at Alexandria thai
Mr.. Beardsiey, who built the line from
Hope to Nashville, IS the leading figure
in the enterprise. The open winter has
enabled the work TO proceed with very
little interruption.

BEEF COMBINE CONVENTION.

The Minneapolis Messenger notes the
call for the convention to be held in St
Louis on the 18th inst. to consider the
question Of the alleged dressed beef COM
bine, and if such combine is found to ex-
ist. to devise some means by which il
can be circumvented by the various state
legislatures. The mere mention of the
subject has the effect upon the Atchison
Champion as does the Haunting of a red
flag in the face of a mad bull; it makes
it fairly roar. The Champion takes up
what the Messenger said and discusses
on the subject after this fashion:
We have not the least confidence In that
convention. The dressed beef monopolists
will capture it, as they did the state SEN
ate of Kansas. Until the people of this
and other states comprehend the fact that
the dressed beef monopolists are destroy
ing the prosperity of the farmers and
stock raisers Of the west, nothing will be
done. But that time is coming, and
there will be music in the air" when
it does come. When the people of Kansas
elect the next legislature its members will
have sense decency and courage enough
to take this monopoly by the throat and
choke the life out of it. There will be no
playing with that tigar when the people
understand, as they will in time, what a
vicious and destructive wild beast it is.
The state senate killed the buncombe
bill passed by the house in relation to
this matter and thus saved its own credit
and the credit of the state, at least in
the eyes of every body out of the state,
and we have no sort of doubt that before
the time OF electing another legislature
the people of the state will come to real
ize the great service the senate did the
state in saving one of its most important
interests from utter ruin. The Cham
pion's town has the benefit of all the
protection against Kansas City (the real
object at which the kick is made) in its
local inspection ordinance, and we are
at loss to understand why it should take
the matter so much to heart.

To Patrick Egan belongs the credit OF
putting into Sir Charles RusSelrs hands
the proofs Of Pigott's infamous forger-
les. The eminent counsel used them to
the discontinue of Pigott and to the
utter dismay of the attorney for The
Times. A more romantic story OF de-
tective work of the highest Importance
was never told than that Of Egans long
search for clue that would prove that
letters purported to be written by him
self, Mr.. Parnell and other home rulers
were forgeries. He was, however,
amply rewarded, and has been able to
90 great work for the cause OF home

THE LOOK AT THE BOOKS.

One of the arguments which doubtless
persuaded some voters to assist in elect
ing Grover Clevand to the presidency,
and bringing back the Democratic party
to power, was, ''that the Republican
party had been in power SO long that
some one ought to look over the book. J"
Indeed, some Democratic speakers went
SO far as to predict that great fires in the
departments for the purpose of burning
up the records of Republican perfdy'
would occur rather than that pure
and unsullied Democracy would be al
lowed to examine them. There were,
however, no fires, no concealments, and
the historic discrepancy of 1.-TWO cents"
which were afterwards found in corner
of a vault, stands as rebuke to
their dishonest and meaningless cry
A glance at past administrations shows
that out of the money disbursed by gov
eminent officials from the beginning of
Washington's term to the close OF Bu-
chanan's the losses amounted to 1921 on
every $1,000, while in the Republican
days the losses were brought down to %
cents on each $1,000. In the term OF
Buchanan, the latest Democratic Presi-
dent before Cleveland, there was 1921
stolen by government officers out of
every $1,000 which they spent, while
during the administration of Arthur, the
stealing amounted to less than cent out
of every $1,000 paid out. Fortunate,
indeed. will the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, with all its influx of in
competent public servants, if it can make
anything like as good showing when
its successors take ''look at the books"
