Clagctt: 1.-THE town Is full OF promi-
nent republicans from all parts OF the
county. Notably among these Is that
white haired pioneer, jurist and states
man, Judge VIM. H. Clagett. His
presence here creates much enthusiasm
among the delegates and all republic
cans, for 1t Is foregone conclusion
that q legislative ticket will he nom'
mated which will strongly favor Judge
Clagett for the United States Senate.
Indeed he stands without q rival for

The distressing situation Of large
number Of the settlers In Oklahoma IL
lustrates the folly of such proceedings
as those which characterized the first
rush of population into that Territory.
Thousands went there with little or
nothing to live on, or to stock or seed q
farm If they got one. In other words
they went there on sort OF gambling
uncertainty. Many Of these took fam
lilies with them, and expended what
little they had in providing shelter fo'
them. A crop-failure leaves them alb
solutely destitute, and Congress Ii
asked to come to their relief. 1t may
be that the case Ia one that calls fol
national aid, but it also illustrates thu
folly of people putting themselves II
such a position.

interference with the running of the
trains caused great Inconvenience and
loss to many thousands Of people, and
while this would not have been suffi-
Gent to have arraycd the sentiment of
the community against the strikers
had the latter had their quarrel just,
such was not the case. The strike was
found to have been without substantial
cause. 1t was not shown that the en-
ployes of the road were under-paid OF
badly treated. 1t did not appear that
the discharge of those men whose rein
statement was demanded was anything
more than proper exercise Of an EN-
ployer's inalienable perogative. The
strike had been ordered as mere mat
ter of policy, and so the public was
against 1t. Under such conditions
success was impossible.-Spokant

While the semblance of q struggle on
the part Of the striking employees Of the
New York Central road will verv likely
be kept up for some days to come, the
strike is virtually over, and the failure
which was clearly predestined in the
beginning has come. One lesson 1t
teaches Is that workingmen have prac-
tically abandoned the principle Of a
sympathetic strike. The men origi-
nally concerned In this struggle failed
entirely to enlist the assistance or even
secure the approval Of their fellow lab
Orers In other departments Of railroad
work or on other lines; they were toe
few and weak of themselves to keep up

A Toronto newspaper Is advocating
Canadian representation at Washing

Dominion government by reason of its
dependence upon Great Britain, with
holds 1t from the right to enter diplO-
matte relations. While the United
States cannot have regularly accred-
tied minister at the Dominion capital,
the various consuls and commercial
agents located in all the larger Can
adam cities enable the state depart
ment to keep informed in regard to any
infringements of the rights of this
country. The Canadians argue that
the employment of a resident agent al
Washington would strengthen rather
than impair the bond which unites
them to England by enabling the
British minister to look at Canadian
interests from the Canadian point o.
view. Whether this be true or not, /,
is not to be doubted that the employ
ment of such a representative would
bring about a better understanding be
tween the Dominion and United
States governments, leading event
ually to a closer union of the two coun
tries, commercially If not politically
