Oklahoma is organizing republican
clubs. 1t should. The republicans are
doing everything in their power to OPP
press Oklahoma. Every foot of lumber
used down there is higher than it would
be without q tariff-$2 per thousand
feet being the increase, Nails, hard
ware, barbed wire, paint, glass, build
ing material, are all highly protected
by the republicans. Blankets, over
coats, clothing, stoves, agricultural i'm
plementS, wagons, harness, are all pro-
tected by a prohibitOry tax, and while
the government gets not one cent of
revenue, the consumer is robbed, to en-
rich the big-bellied eastern manufactu-
rer. The republican majority in con-
gress is just aching to do something for
Oklahoma, to render the condition of
its people better. Just why they don't
do it you can't quite understand. But
its ali right. So, on with the republican
clubs down there. Organize them in
every supposed school district until Ok
laboma, when it votes, can rival Kan
sas with its $1,000 republican majority.
If possible, inject prohibition into Ok
lahoma, too. Follow the republican
footsteps of Kansas closely, and proba-
bly, by 1851 Oklahoma will be as happy
and contented as Kansas is to-day.
Probably corn will be worth II cents
there then, as it is here now, and if it
is, Oklahoms can save much OF its fuel
bill, as Kansas does to-day. But don't
neglect to organize the republican clubs
and the protective tariff clubs. They
will win, you bet.

Congressman Samuel r. Peters says
that he will not be candidate for re-
election this year. His reason is that
there is too much expense connected
with making the race and that while,
heretofore, he had law practice that
paid the deficiency, that source of reve-
nue. is now gone and he must now en-
gage in something that will permit him
to lay up few dollars for a rainy day.
Many think that Judge Peters has his
eye on something better than seat in
congress, probably appointment to some
judicial position under the present adj
ministration and this is probably true.
His determination not to be candidate
will bring out no less than dozen aspi-
rants in the republican ranks within the
next sixty days, and the congressional
convention will unquestionably be a
lively one. There are Judges Sluss
Stanley and Wall and Col. Hallowell

A Washington special to the Kansas
City Times states that Chairman Nc
Kinley, of the ways and means COM
mlttee, has the Office bee buzzing so
industriOusly in his bonnet that he is
afraid to report any tariff bill to the
present congress. He wants to be pres
ident, and he sees that his party is bad
ly divided on the tariff question, and
so he will wait until he sees which way
the cat will jump before he fathers any
tariff legislation. 1t is a depIorable
state of affairs when the country must
await the pleasure or convenience OF
one man to get needed legislation. The
country is demanding reduction OF
tariff duties and cheaper necessities
and the man that blocks the road may
rest assured that he will never be pres.

FOR REPUBLICANS, ONLY.

There is something in the resubmis-
sion talk started after the NOyeMber
election and since carried on with Wieh-
tia, Topeka, Leayenworth and Atciri-
son as centers. The State Republican

progress of the resubmissiOnists; SO
the INDEX will give its republican rea-

In response to resolution, the Sec
rotary of the interior has sent to the
senate the correspondence of the special
agents appointed to investigate the al
legged early settlement of Oklahoma by
deputy marshals and others prior to
April 22d. The agents say there were
about 800 persons in and around Guth-
rie prior to the legal hour for settlement,
many of these deputy marshals, land
officials, railway employees and deputy
revenue collectors. The first homestead
entry was made by personal friend OF
the land Office receiver, Mr.. Barnes, who
also gave special privileges to others.
The brother of Register Ollie was al
lowed to file plat made before noon of
the Odd. Congress will probably declare
that the "sooners" have no right in
Oklahoma.

Arthur Gorham, the stockman who
owned the COmanche county ranches
and property, who makes his headquar-
ters at Kinsley, part of the time, has
caused the arrest of a young man named
Arthur G. Williams, or Blake, charging
him with forgery and attempted black
mail. Six years ago Gorham was very
sick at the Metropolis hotel at Kansas
City, and Blake, who was bell boy at
the hotel, nursed the old man carefully.
and when he got well he remembered
the boy handsomely and took him over
the country with him. The boy pre-
sumed on the friendship and drew
money from GOrham on forged checks.
Gorham overlooked the rascality for
some time; but last month the boy
tapped him for $500 and claimed that he
held certain damaging evidence against
his benefactor. Then Gorham became
tired and had the young scoundrel ar
rested. His case is being considered by
the court of Edwards county.

Governor Hill, of New~Yo rk, in his
annual message, opposed ballot reform
as contemplated by the Australian sys-
tenn. Governor Campbell. of Ohio, in
his first message. the other day, favored
the reform. In 1892 the national ticket
will probably read Cleveland and Camp
bell instead of Hill and somebody. The
country is ripe for ballot reform, and
the next place it should be inaugurated
is in New York where the present des
picable system made it possible for Mr.
Hill to be elected when the nationa
ticket was defeated. Hills system i.

If all sensible, thinking men would lay

there are already $4,000 negroes IN Okla

His figures are probably ten times too
high, for it is doubtful if there are 1000
negroes in Oklahoma, and it is safe to
say that in one year from now the num-

The Kansas City stock yards company
is dissatisfied with the American Live
Stock commission company because the
latter company has been selling cattle
for members for 20 cents per head and
sheep and hogs for $3.50 per car, when
the stockYard's charge has been 50 cents

that the rates will be reduced to the
