Judge Foster has ruled that man can
not be convicted of selling liquor i'll viola
ton of law on the testimony of spot
ter" In his zeal in behalf of whisky the
Judge makes fool of himself. Suppose
that rule should be enforced in all cases
land why nots) detectives could be of no
use whatever-Salina Republican.
Judge Foster is right. This "spotter"
business is the most Infamous system of
espionage that was ever devised in con-
nection with the operation of laws of
justice. 1t has contributed no little
towards arraying popular sentiment
against the Murray law and in bringing
that enactment into dlsrepute, not to say
contempt, among the conservative, fair
minded portion of the community.
There may be times and circumstances
under which detectives may be en-
ployed to good purpose and legitimately,
but they are exceptional, and the cases
referred as coming under Judge Fosters
ruling are certainly not of that class.

ties for wide-awake brainy business men,
were never afforded in any country than
are at the present time offered in the In
dian territory. Enterprise and nerve will
bring prosperity and the people of this
country are on the highway to success.
Town lots in some of the Chickasaw
towns sell at fancy figures in spite Of the
fact that there is no title to pass from sell
Ter to buyer. Some of the best lots on the
main business street of Ardmore sell read
lily at $1,000. No other title than that Of
'squatter rights" can pass. There is not
even a lease right transferred, for there
are so many Indian claimants to the
ground that the occupants refuse TO pay
lease money to any of them.
The prairies of the Indian Territory are
unlike those of Kansas and other northern
prairie states In that they are not as large
and are bordered by larger belts OF timber.
1t is quite common here for the high
grounds and hill tops to be covered with a
thick growth of black jack and other small
timber, while the valleys are the richest of
prairies. Along the valley of Grand river
there are beautiful prairies. irregular IN
shape and often cut Dy streams and IA
vines, while timber is found on the higher
land in abundance

The Business Future.

From the Springfield Republican
Samuel Benner, the Ohio farmer who
predicts the business future, wrote year
ago as follows:
"There will be wonderful advance IN
prices for iron stocks and all products
and commodities in 1890. All business
will be prosperous and it will be a year
of good crops and the boom year OF this
period of activity. In the beginning OF
the year 1891 speculation VIII be at It's
beigbt-a great business inflation--pig
iron $50 per ton in the markets of our
country. | predict that there viii
be panic in the year 1891.
This is reasoning on the basis of the
old range and degree of trade fiuctua-
tons. which are becoming less marked
year by year. But it is highly probable
that 1890 will be a more active business
wear than 1891.

NOT THE PRODUCT OF BoURBoN1sM

The Wichita EAGLE speaks of 'Demo-
cratic Kansas City" The EAGLE is mis-
taken. Kansas City doesn't enjoy that
good fortune by abous 1000 votes, but it
is progressive place, and there are signs
which indicate that it will not be long
before it will fall in line politically with
the liberal and progressive spirit which
has characterised her material affairs
Kansas City Times.
The blunder which by even an infer
ence attributed such magnificent sue
cess as Kansas City to Bourbonism, is
frankly admitted. We suppose we were
led into the mistake from the more
abundant racket and clatter kept up by
the Democratic press of the place as
compared to-but comparisons are
odious. Because of that one thousand
votes our respect for the spigot which
has essayed to become the bung hole of
our state, has been greatly increased.

From dispatch from Paris it would
seem that great work, the Panama
canal, is not to be abandoned. And if 1t
is not resumed it is great pity, after
the expenditure of such vast sums and
the loss of life that has gone towards
the accomplishment. This work is one
of the very few of the nineteenth CEN
fury where the plans of men have been
discouraged by any opposing force, how
over great and adamantine.

Since congress seems determined that
those members who lost their pay for
past services by the Silcott theft shall
have their losses made good at the gov.

matters of public concern? If it is right
that the government should reimburse
the losers, why halt about doing it? If
it is not right, why hang on to it?

THE COST OF STRIKES.

In the third annual report of the Ma
tional Commissioner Of labor, it is shown
that the cost of strikes and lockouts to
the employers of the United States for
the years 1881 to 1886 inclusive, amount
ed to $34, 163, S15, and to employees $780,
972, 440, total of 1914, 1885, 54. Com
missioner Betton estimates that two
hundred and twenty-nine thousand,
eight hundred and ninety dollars of this
amount was lost by Kansas employers,
and $500, 016 by Kansas workmen "a total
of $429. 800, during the three years of
this period. How much loss these strikes
meant to the general public must ever
remain a matter of conjecture,
With such costly experience before
them it it but natural that repetition
should be avoided if possible and that
means looking to that end be devised.
There has been no concert of action on
the part of employers, as far as the pub
lie knows, but self-interest will prompt
them to avoid as far as possible any con-
fiict that may lead to such compromising
results. On the other hand the labor or
CARNATIONS have pronounced in explicit
terms against strikes as means of
righting wrongs and securing redress for
grievances, but that differences that
may arise be submitted to some agreed
tribunal for adjustment. AS war is
rendered more voidable by the constant
ly increasing destructiveness of war en-
ginery, if not general and growing de-
sire for peace, SO has the expensiveness
of strikes compelled passion and impul-
siveness TO give place to reason, and
while "the grievance of one is the con-
Germ of ALL" the interest of all should
constrain the actions of the one or the

The scheme of the Yankee at San
Francisco to advertise that he would
furnish American heiresses to European
noblemen at a moderate fee, which was
answered by 200 applications by the first
mail, would seem to indicate that a
goodly number of the European nobility
anticipate trouble for noble blood and
believe in taking measures to feather
their nests, in case the fear should be
realized, even if it necessitates a lower
ing of aristocracy degrading enough TO
admit of marrying plebian women.

A Son of the Old Abolittonist Leadcr--An
Opinion on the Race Problem.

A Son of the Old Abolitionist Leader--An
Opinion on the Race Problem.
Owen q. Lovejoy, son of Owen Love-
Joy and nephew of Elijah y. Loyeioy,
the famous anti-slavery agitators and
abolitionists who were maltreated and
the latter killed by a mob, is among the
late arrivals from Illinois.
Mr.. Lovejoy much resembles the pic
lures of his famous father. He is about
40 years of age, has a broad. square fore
head, dark. piercing eyes. and is stock
ily built, being a little over medium
size.
He spoke to Chronicle reporter of
the killing few days ago of eight ne
groes in the south, and said the colored
problem as il now existed was difficult
of solution. "f do not think" contin-
ued he. that the Caucasian race i'll the
south will ever consent to be governed
by an inferior race. What the result
will be IL is difficult to see, but ! think
it will come out all right. There GER
tainly should be no numbering of col
ored men,
Mr.. Lovejoy thought Senator ingalls,
was in a measure right when hedeclared
not long ago that it was wrong to put
the ballet in the hands OF the colored
people. u think it was done little
too soon." continued Mr.. Lovejoy.
They ought to have waited little
until the negroes had been educated to
the intelligent use of the ballot. I'm
questionably the south is responsible
for the ignorance of the negroes. 1t has
labored to keep them ignorant in order
that they might be kept under subjec-
tion."
Mr.. Lovejoy thought, however, that
colonizing negroes in California would
not be found desirable to the Caucasian
race. In Topeka they had very large
percentage of the vote, and it was 80 in
other Kansas towns owing to the exodus
from the south few years ago. "1f the
negro vote could be divided in the south
the whole matter would be settled. II
some other issue would come up that
would divide it, it would be the best
thing that ever happened"
Mr.. Lovejoy Is an attorney here on
business. and says he has never been a
candidat for Office.

The condition of the states finances is
deemed of first importance as basis of
legislation and the reports OF the late ter
ritorial treasurer and auditor are herewith
submitted for your Information.
From these it will be seen that at date of
admission into the union the financial c~n-
dition of the state was as follows, towit:
The bonded indeht edness was Si10, 200,
of which S1it,e00 bears interest at per
cent per annnm, sla5,000 at the rate of 3
per cent, $3l7, 100 mt A. per cent, and The
remainder, Slo2,5 at the rate of per
cent.
There was also outstanding November
AN Indebtedness of the territory to the
amount of $4,000 evidenced by three
funding warrants, of which South Dakota
owes SO, ,00p.
BY the terms of the agreement made by
the joint commission of the constitutional
convention, South Dakota must pay North
Dakota sat, $50 On account of the difference
in adjustment of accounts up to March 3;
1889; chen since that date South Dakota
has overlrawn its account to consider
allie extent, 50 that by the provisions of the
agreement Of such joint commission, when
the final djustmciit is made, 1t is probable
that South Dakota will have to pay on final
settlement of these three items Sl5o,0OO:
The 800 5 per cent bonds for insane
hospital at Yankton and the 100000 6 per
cent. bonds for penitentiary at Sioux Falls
were refunded at n per cent rate by Hon.

urer, aud in addition a premium of :5,3i5
was realized to the state which amount,

Total sum received by state treasurer
was ss4, ,44l.93, of which S3S.407.7o is in
