TIE bill to reouire the superinr

TIE bill to require the superinten- dent Of the census to ascertain what percentage of the people own their farms, the number of farms under mortgage, the amount of such in debtedness and other details con- nected with the subject, is meeting with considerable opposition in the republican senate, and no wonder, for the members of that body know that such an exhibit would afford a startling demonstration of the fact that the condition of the American farmers could not we'll be worse than at present. Taxed on everything they buy and compelled to sell their produce in the markets for what the ' will bring, the farmers have been forced to mortgage their homes. The amount of eastern capital loan ed on western farms Is simply enor- nous, and is largely owned by mon opolsts and protectlonists. Manu- lecturers who have taxed the farmers on thelr implements, their clothing and other necessaries of life have al so invested their unfair profits in mortgages on the farms themselves and are taking from the west an nm mense amount of money in the shape of interest. Commenting on this state of affairs the Chicago Herald says:
 "A proposition by a democrat in the senate the other day to compel the census enumerators to compel a record of the farm mortgages of this country brought every republican to his feet in vehement protest. There was no demand for any such thing. Mortgages were evidence of wealth. No poor man had anything to mort gage. And so on. Now, If the prop osltion had been to compile statist- ics showing how the farmer may be enriched by paying taxes for the benefit of the manufacturers, mot re- publican would have objected. That would have been Tn harmony with the falsehoods which sustain the pro- tectlve system"
 The farm mortgages in this county reveal and prove the danger of the protective system. They should be enumerated.

THE investigation of the Ohio bal let. box forgery by the congressional committee has lad out Ex. Gov. For aker stiff and cold. Not only was the forgery an attempt to ruin the reputation of Governor Campbell, but it was so manipulated by For aker that it implicated several prom. inent republicans of that state, his political rivals, to whose credit how ever, be it said, they were entirely innocent Foraker is the fraud whose utterances against Mir.

Ir is probable that the senate ?

IT is probable that the senate will refuse to recognize either one of the contesting senatorial delegations from Montana. It IS gwen out that the republicans are not satisfied with the title of tue republican contest ants and therefore will not admit them because of the dangerous pre- cedent such procedure would set up. In this event the democratic governor of Montana will appoint senators to represent the State until the next meeting of the state legisla- ture which will be year hence.

The Same Old Gang.

Morrilton Headlight: The special inspector, who was sent to Oklahoma to investigate the conduct of settlers and officers in making land entries, has been talking. He reported bis findings to the department but for prudential reasons that report has not seen daylight. However the in spector has given out some of the secrets. He says that John I. Dille, register, and c. M. Barnes, receiver connived to allow their friends and relatives to go into the territory be fore they had any right to and to en. ter the choicest pieces of land. Our own Wm. Henry Harrison Clayton being a friend and neighbor of Barnes at Ft. Smith was permitted to grab up the site of Guthrie out of which he and his partners made their hundreds of thousands.
 Hundreds of deputy marshals com missions were printed and the name of the marshal forged to them and with these as pretense of authority the homestead grabbers marched boldly in and possessed the fairest parts of the land before the settlers could by law enter the land oi promise.
 The inspector further states that Clayton went to him talked to him and told him unless the plat of Guthrie prepared by him (Clayton ) was permitted filed that blood would flow in the streets of the town. This Is the same Wm. Henry Har1son Clayton since appointed distrlet at torney for the western district of Arkansas and who expects to capture the district judgeship in case Judge Parker is promoted to the circuit bench
