He said to News man:
"While the Oklahoma country is
very pretty to look at, not more than
one half OF it is suitable for agriculture,
and this cannot be utilized this year
for crops, as it is too late to prepare

stead claims, and this will result in
bloodshed and a disordered socia
condition. The boomers are camped
on all sides of the promised land and
have little means.
"The large surplus of boomers will
be desperate when they fail to get a
claim, and in their desperation are
likely to give the Indians and cattle
men trouble and keep the United
States soldiers busy. The immedi.
ate opening of the Cherokee strip may
relieve the strain. The largest number
of boomers is from Kansas; hundreds
of farmers in the western portion OF
that state have abandoned their farms
to the mortgage companies and tax
gatherers. The state and county take g
in Kansas will average 800 per cent.
higher than in Texas, and the farmers
are not near SO prosperous. The re-
action in the Oklahoma movement will
necessarily benefit Texas, especially
the Panhandle part of the state, which
is already getting large immigration
from Kansas"

INSPECTORS OF COAL AND PETRO-
LEUM OILS.

There being question as to the
tenure of Office of number of the coal
oil inspectors of Missouri, tabulated
statement of the appointments to this
position since 1879, will prove of inter
est. Governor Francis holds that the
office runs in terms of two years from
the first appointment in or subsequent
to the year 1879. For instance, il all
inspector was appointed on some day,
say the 18th of June, 1879. then his
term would be for two years from that
date, and the terms of the office, mo mat
ter how the appointments were made,
would end on the 18th day of June,
1881, 1883, 1885, 1887, 1889, 1891, sc.
If an appointment should be made
to lap over these dates Gov. Francis
thinks that the term will nevertheless
end as indicated above.

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

"Flutterby" who seems to have lots
of sense, writes thus to the London
Field: -"Have not English yachtsmen
yet discovered that smaller, weaker
vessel cannot hope, except, in light airs
and paltry weather, to contend with
any success against larger, more
powerful boat? If this fact has not
been sufficiently demonstrated by our
past failures 10 regain the America Cup
with Genesta, Galatea and Thistle let
us take examples from matches sailed
in our own waters. With what result
did Melissa compete with Vreda, Jenny
Wren with Dis, Tottie with Lady Nan
in ordinary weathers? Granted, in very
light airs, where power does not tell,
and small wetted surface is an advan-
tage, the eakcr vessels may do well,
but come a capful of wind and they
are at once overpOwered and beaten by
their really larger opponents. Now
these examples are taken from vessels
which III the case of the larger are lin
tied by their rating as TO canvas, and
are not therefore designed to be as
powerful as possible for their length.
How much more, therefore, would the

&c., supposing the latter had been de
signed sufficiently powerful to carry

about to do in the case of the Valkyrie

the same length, unlimited as to cam

Vreda unlimited-wilh what hope of
success l leave your readers to imag-
inc! Far be it from me TO discourage
any attempt to win back our long lost
challenge cup, but do let us, if we
are to make the attempt, do our level
best, and build vessel tor the rule

for the purpose for which she is intend

my mind it reflects little credit OH the

no attempt as body to regain the cup
they lost in 1851.

RIDICULOUS.
TFrom the Dallas News

The republicans of the north are
delighted with the idea OF breaking the
solid south with the protection idea.
The northern papers are full of the
plan, which carries with it the starter
of throwing over the colored brother,
and, if possible, driving him into the
democratic ranks. The scheme is alb
surd. There is not the bitterness
against the negro in the south that
would make one man in a thousand
disagree with his party and principles
because the negro should agree with
him in them. The "protection idea" is
an appeal to the selfishness of the
southern people. 1t is a promise to
enrich few of them at the cost of the
many and will not be listened to a
moment outside of the mineral districts.
The south is essentially an agricultural
country. The people are democrats
They are unal.erably opposed to the
republican idea of tariff and protection,
and such agitation as may exist in the
south looking toward building up the
republican party by the lines suggested
will pass away, and, il remembered,
will be remembered only as having
been a most ridiculous thing.

LITERARY TASTE AND DEMOCRACY

1t is not useless, | fancy, 10 remind
ourselves now and then of the very
high standard which literature has
right to demand from its more earnest
votarIes. In the hurry of life, in the
glare of passing interests, we are apt
to lose breadth of sympathy, and to
make our own personal and temporary
enjoyment OF a book the criterion of its
value. One danger which have long
foreseen from the spread of the demo-
cratic sentiment is that the traditions
of literary taste, the canons of litera-
ture, should be reversed with success
by popular vote. Up to the present
time, in all parts of the world, the
masses of uneducated or semi-educat-
ed persons, who form the vast majority
of readers, though they cannot and do
not appreciate the classics of their race,
have been content to acknowledge
their traditional supremacy. OF late
there have seemed to me to be certain
signs, especially in America, of revolt
of the mob against our literary mas
ters In the less distinguished Ameri-
can newspapers which reach me, am
| sometimes startled by the boldness
with which great name, like Words
worth's or Dryden's, will be treated
with indignity. The revolution against
taste, ouce begun, will land us in ire
parable chaos. 1t is, therefore, high
time that those who recognize that
there is no help for us in literature out
side the ancient laws and precepts of
our profession should vigorously sup
port the fame of those fountains of in
spiration, the impeccable masters of
English Edmund Gosse.

THE MAN WITH A BIG HEAD.

Washington Cor. New York Tribune.l
Senator Sawyer tells good story on
himself. There was man up in the
Oshkosh country by the name of Hutch
inson. who was great boaster. If he
cut one log of wood he was sure to re-
port a hundred, and ii he saw dozen
blackbirds sitting on a stump they
would be thousand before he told
it in the nearest saloon. One sea-
son he did some logging for Mr.. Saw
yer, and for his pay received check
on the Northwestern National bank for
1920, payable to his order. Mr.. Hutch
inson had never had such an expert
ence before, and he showed the check
TO his friends with great deal of
pride before he took it to the bank to
get it cashed, When he did SO the
teller, of course, made him sign his
name on the back of the paper, and
that was an incident of still greater
Importance in Mr.. Hutchinson's life.
Then he went to his home in the woods
and said to everybody whom he met on
the way:
"Old Sawyer can brag as much as
he's mind 10 about his money, but
the bank made me indorse his check
before they would cash it for him."

REDUCTION OF WAGES SINCE THE
ELECTION.
From the Bellefunte watcbmap. ,

From the BellefUnte Watchman.I
Last week the coal operators of the
Pitt.burg & Hooking Valley districts
decided to reduce the wages of miners
cents per ton, to date from the first
of May. The broad loom weavers in
Cutters silk mill at Bethlehem last
Friday were notified of a reduction in
their wages OF about S6 cents per day.
McLanahan, Smith & Co., of Holli-
daysburg and the Hollidaysburg Iron
Co. have reduced the wages of their
puddlers from 1915 to SO - per ton.
The puddlers in the Sunberry Nail
Works last week stopped work upon
seeing notice posted in the mill that
their wages would be reduced to 50 a
ton. Last Monday reduction of 8
per cent in the pay of the employees Of
the Pottsville Iron q Steel Co. went
into effect. On the same day the wages
of nearly all the puddlers at the Beth
lehem Iron Works were reduced from
So 80 to 81. AS per ton and at the Allen.
town Rolling Mill from $3.50 to S3.2S
per ton. The Ist of April also brought
reduction OF per cent in the wages
of skilled labor and 10 per cent in that
of unskilled labor at the Pennsylvania
Steel Works at Steelton, affecting
about two thousand five hundred men.
The puddlers in the Lebanon Nut and
Bolt Works have struck against re-
duction in wages of 25 cents a ton,
and on Wednesday notices were posted
in the Clark Thread Works at Newark
OF reduction in wages amounting to
about 15 per cent. Notice has been
given by the Columbia Iron Co. at
Lancaster that their mill will be closed
on April s owing to the dullness of the
market, and the Hinckly Locomotive
Works of Boston shut down on Satur-
day and will remain closed for some
time, dullness of trade being alleged
10 be the cause. Parties who should
know say that before the end of this
week the Monongahela miners will be
without work or wages, there being
some 5000 of them, many of them
with families.
