According to Repu blican tradi-
tions, all Northern. men treat the
negro with fairness and extend to
him brotherly love. Oklahoma is
decidedly an exception, however,
TO the general rule. Since the re
cent stories that thenegroes meant
to colonize that Territory, those
already settled there have been
subjected to all sorts of insults,
and IN some cases to assaults.
Dispatches from Guthrie, tell how
a number Of colored settlers have
been ordered out of the country,

How circumstances alter cases
was never made palmer than by
the actions Of the election commit
tees of the two Houses OF Congress.
In the House where the republi-
cans need every vote they can get,
there has been an indecent haste
in reporting contested election
cases, while in the Senate where
no votes are needed, there is a dig
nified leisure in the way contests
are treated. On the 18th of Feb
ruary the evidence was all taken
and the arguments heard in the
Montana Senatorial contest; Sat
urday, March LIST, the committee
met and appointed a sub-commit-
tee to collate the facts to be re-
ported at the next meeting, which
will be next Saturday.

new method of counting a quorum
is Constitutional or not, The dem
Ocratic leaders in the House have
mapped out program with that
end in view. Mr.. Pendleton of the
first district of West Virginia who
was unseated by the votes of less
than "A majority ofthe House, which
is constitutional quorum. propo-
ses to claim his salary as a member
of the House of Representatives,
and if the Treasury officials refuse
to pay him-and they will-he will
enter suit for it in the court of
claims and appeal it from there, if
decided against him, to the Su-
preme Court. And if the republi-
cans show any disposition to delay
the case in either court he will sue
out mandamus to stop the Treas
ury officials from paying the salary
of the man who has been illegally
given the seat belonging to him.
1t is well that this question is to
be legally decided, and ihe sooner
the decision can be gotten the
better.
