1T il estimated that 10000 10 1900
settlers, boomers aud spectators
swarmed into the country known as
the Cherokee Strip few days ago.
II was the settlement Of Oklahoma
over again. There was great disap-
poiBtment when the presidents pro-
clamaliOn 10 the effect that the strip
had not been opened for settlement
reached them. Great reluctance on
the part Of many TO leave the
promised land was manifest, but the
l4w-abidiug part Of the settlers went
back TO Kansas or to Oklahoma 10
await the formal opening Of the
country. Many boomers and srcru-
lators, however, stayed, and will try
and get the advantage of the bona
fide settlers by being on the ground.
The military, however. may make
Il warm for such. The rush Of the
boomers settled one thing very
clearly, and that was that the cattle
men would have 10 go and stand not
upon the order OF their going.
Their vast herds were stampeded
or scared Off the strip by the wave
Of immigrants. In some places the
grass was fired and large tracts laid
waste by burning. The change in
the strip was very great aud very
sudden. II is probable that no sim
liar sight Was ever seen before.
The settlement Of Oklahoma, Of
the Sioux reservation "a Dakota, and
the grand rush OF the strip" last
week are evidences Of the rapid in
crease Of our population and the
consuming desire there is aRIoug the
people to own a spot of the earth's
surface. The past few years, during
the rapid settlement and develop
ment Of Kansas, Nebraska, Texas,
the mountain and PaciIlc states, the
desire for ownership has become al
most a monOmania. Men seek
ownership Of land even in the Parch-
VI bu
side. They rush madly over one an
ether on such occasions rs have late
Iy been offered, in their haste to Sc
cure favored spots. They fight TO
the death often for a quarter or even
an eighth Of n section Of poor land.
They leave the comforts Of settled
aud improved localities in eastern
states, and plunge into the hard
ships Of pioneer Iife-all these things
and more and worse, TO get a spot
they can call their own. BY aud by
small sized farms IN the fertile lands
Of Kansas will be the envy Of hun
dreds Of thousands Of longing land
seekers hungry for a bit of land on
which TO pitch the home-tent for
life.
The mistake the settlers made the
other day rs to the condition of leg
islatiOn at Washington was TO be de-
plored. The eageTness was too great.
however, to consider the situation
properly. IL Is certain that the
president will proclaim the opening
Of the Strip 50 soon as the necessary
legislation has been effected.

A LrrrEn PROM GOV. HuHpHREr.

LKrrER FROM GOV. HUMPHREY.
Our chief executive has written q
long letter indicating his strong be-
lief In the prOpriety Of the passage
Of q service pension bill. We ex-
tract the following, which is ger
name to the subject and bears upon
other topics attracting wide atten-
tfon:
when the war closed the annual
interest charge upon the public debt
was more than one hundred and
dfty millions OF dollars. The debt
has been reduced TO about one third
of It's size 10 1885, and the annual
interest charge cut down to about
forty millions. And with this enor-
NOUS debt reduction, taASs have
been accordingly appealed until to-
| day the chief sources OF revenue,
customs aud internal taxes rest
| largely upon the consumers OF i'm
ported articles Of luxury and taste,
and upOn consumers of whisky and
! tobacco. These taxes are practically
| self imposed aud Voluntarily paid,
and yet they have shared In the con-
staut and radical scaling down pro-
cess that has been going Oh ever
since the close of the var.
The tariff or custom dues are
largely paid by those purse-prOud,
consequential people who think life
not quite worth living, II they can
not enjoy the luxury Of consuming
imported goods - against the pro-
ducts, often superior, OF American
skill, labor aud raw material, which
are good enough for anybody aud
preferred by q vast majority OF our
people, aud being made at home do
not bear any import duty.
The CONSUMERS Of whisky aud to-
baceo are periodically bearing their
share Of this burden without any
visible sign of WEAKNESS, and. all in
all, this tempestuOus agitation la
congress over the terrible burdens
Of federal taxation, would seem n
little premature until the question
Of pensions shall have been care
fully considered.
In addition to the present revenues
Welding o considerable surplus,
what objection can there be tn
doubling the excise tax on whisky =:
Iulh NOuiu hOl put u bath w Nii'''
Il was during and long after the war
when, a. I remember IL, the tax was
two dollars n gallon against ninety
cents now. This would go long
way In covering the amount oi
money carried 10y the proposed lu-
gals bill.
Other sources Of r. venue might he
res0rtsd to without exciting just
criticism or objection. or course
this would evoke from n certain see
ton Of the country the old howl
about going back to war taxes,
but the reply Is ready, that IL IL only
a temporary expedisnt to lie gradu-
| ally abandoned as the old soldiers
die and pass out, always q comfort
ing thought TO some OF the most
voeiferous hOwlsrs against war
taxes" who furthermore never
seem 70 reflect that but for a dis
loyal aud rebelliOus south In 1861,
there would have been neither war
nor war taxes, nor war widows and
orphans, nor an army Of manned ,
wounded, diseased, disabled and
broken down men to-day simply
asking justice at the hands OF a
country saved, and made great,
prosperous and free. by their untold
and unparalleled suffering aud he
rOic daring on hundreds Of bloody
fields Of battle.
