scrupulously correct. He never says

nesota" and Carolina are brought out
with distinctness. In this he differs
from Vice-President Morton, who always
says North Dakoty" and 'Minnesoty."

THE LOTTERY BILL.

The anti-lottery bin having passed both
houses of congress, has received the sigma
ture of the president and is now law.
The bill gives the postmaster general
great power. 1t forbids the carrying in
the mail or delivery at or through any
postotfice or by any mail carrier of any
letter, postal card or circular concerning
any lottery, or any list of drawings of the
same, or any lottery ticket or part there
of, or any check. draft, bill, money,
postal note or money order for the pur-
chase of any ticket. 1t forbIds carrying
any newspaper, circular, pamphlet or
publication of any kind containing any
advertisement of any lottery, or contain
ing any list of prizes of any such lottery.
1t forbids any person deposiJing or caus-
ing to be deposited, or knowingly send
ing or causing to be sent, any such mat
ter by mail. 1t provides that proceed
ings for violation of this law may be
instituted either in The district at which
the mailing was done, or at the place to
which it is carried by mail for delivery,
or at any place where it is delivered to
the person addressed. 1t provides for
preventing the delivery of mail contain
ing registered funds or money orders
addressed to lottery companies or to
their agents.
The new law will very materially
interfere with the business of lottery
companies, but it will not destroy them.
They will transfer their business to the
express companies. The heaviest losers
will be the newspapers that will be COM
PEELED to drop lottery advertisements
from their coIunnnS

yet few Of it's readers know it's very re-

About 1915 there was a coffee house IN
Tower street, London, kept By one Ed

gathered at noon TO discuss business and

SILVER HOLDS ITS OWN.
From the Philadelphia North American.

From the Philadelphia North American
1t is hopeful sign that the bears are
unable to keep silver bullion down. At
first the price was thought to be purely
speculative, but it is apparent that silver
is rising slowly in the market of London
as well as here, AMI with its appreciation
the prices of staples sympathize. The
cotton crop is phenomenal, being nearly
half million bales greater than was
ever gathered in this country before.
Yet the price of cotton remains firm at
about the figure it touches when the crop
is short. The market has a steadiness
that it has not had in years. Even the
manipulatOrs do not seem to be able
to play see-saw in the grain mar
ket. We do not, of course, exp ct a
com plete recovery of market prices in a
day. For years there has been a steady
and alarming decline of prices. Alarm
ing because good prices always attended
prosperous times, Just as declining prices
mark stringent times. When the pro-
ducts of a country command good prices
all parties to production reap fair har-
vest. Good prices mean good wages.
Hence, any normal rise in market prices
should be regarded as heralding prosper
Gus times. Unless signs fail we are now
entering upon an era when human &C
tivities will have full play. That means
good times.

Jere'S Hump.

From the Wellington Press
Jere Simpson is around mourning and
shedding tears about the hump on the
peoples backs in the shape of debt. 1t
is less than $40 apiece for all our people,
and while Jere Is whining lots of Kansas
fellows are unloading the hump. We
have not heard of Jere offering to relieve
anybody of their humps except to ask
them to vote for him for congress. Lots
of people fail to see that that is going to
do any good, and are going ahead with
their fall work. If Jere is bothered with
one of his humps and Is waiting till the
people of the Seventh district elect him
to congress to get it off. we fear he will
carry it with him to the grave. Jerry
had better hump himself back TO Medi-
cine Lodge and resume his duties as city
marshal. He would save the Alliance
his expenses and feel better after the
election.

HALLowELL AND THE BIG SEVENTH
From the lola Register.

From the lola Register.
1t is always a mighty breezy lot of free
and easy fellows that come in from the
coyote counties of the big Seventh. There
must be something stimulating in the
high altitude and the hot wind and the
sand, for these men are always full of
vim and enthusiasm. When they want
anything they go after it with a grand
rush. They usually get it. But whether
they do or not they always throw up
their hats for the man who wins. And
how they howl for Hallowell! They
called him for half an hour Wednesday
evening and when he finally came before
the convention every man from the
Seventh district stood on his feet and
swung his hat and yelled for five min
utes. If the feeling all over the district
is like this it will take the returning
board all winter to count Halls majority.

THE CATTLE EXODUS.
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
Mr.. T. +. Andrews. of Ninita, |. T.,
one of the largest cattle owners in the
southwest, is at the Southern. He SAYS
the order excluding cattle from the
Cherokee strip Will be obeyed to the let
ter. and all cattle will be moved out at
least week before the specified time.
The extension of time granted by the
president will enable the cattlemen to
comply with the order without loss, and
they are now perfecting their plans for
the removal. There will be a general
roundup about October 1, and all the
cattle in the strip will be brought to-
gether. Then a committee of experts
specially appointed for that purpose,
will select three-fifths of them, VIII CHI
must be marketed at once. The balance
will be moved as rapidly as possible to
their various destinations.
The closing of the strip may prove
blessing in disguise to the cattlemen,
and it is certain to be a source of great
profit TO Mis5Ourians. Many of the
larger cattle owners are making ar
engagements to send their vearlings and
2-year-Olds to southwest Missouri to
winter. Mr.. Andrews has already made
contracts for over 1000 head of his own
account. The arrang ment is usually
made ON shares. and southwestern farm
ers are very glad of the opportunity to
get Cherokee cattle. 1t is expected that
the CRASHED cattle will make flesh very
rapidly on corn and cut forage. Much
of the Cherokee stock will 90 to southern
Kansas and Texas ranges, and the half
grown stock will be sent to Missouri for
years ripening before going to market
hereafter if the arrangements prove as
profitable as is anticipated. This is
very likely to make Missouri the great
est beef state in the union.

Why Boston Hasn't Advanced.

From the Boston Herald
st. Louis runs ahead of Boston in pop
ulatiOn. The census office puts her at
AGO, 357, against our 6,j07. The rela-
tive position of the two cities is almost
exactly reversed In 1880 Boston had a
lead of 10, 321, now st. Louis has lead
of 1850. We are not surprised that
our city has fallen behind in the race If
st. Louis was shut out from the markets
to the east of her by the tariff restric-
Chinese wal !, as our Atlantic coast is,
she would now make so good showing
as she does.

this critical moment. The west has
never taken determined stand on the
liberal side of this issue, believing that
the great party that it has nurtured and
honored would keep step with its needs.
The agricultural interests of the country
still look to the party of well paid labor
for its leadership, but the eastern and
northern states had better retain, before
they are compelled to conciliate, their
truest and strongest alley.
As for the tariff bill, it is needless to
add that the measure in its present
shape is far more satisfactory to the
country at large than the Mckinley
bill, but it is to be regretted that
further action will have to be de-
ferred. The responsibility for this
apparent failure to make good party
pledges this session, must rest some
where, and Mckinley will be the scape-
goat. The national convention of 1888
contributed largely to the fame of the
Ohio statesman, and at once he was
recognized leader. But he has abused
his influence as every Republican mem.
Der who supported his theory" will adj
nit. For the sake of harmony the house
followed his leadership on this question.
He displayed an ultra radicalism that
the people cannot endorse. He made a
mistake that the tariff plank in the ma
tional platform of 1888 backed by a ma
tionol victory, cannot condone. McKin-
ley was accorded the honor of being the
exponent of protection in that memora-
able convention. but since then he has
gone much farther; very much farther
than the party or the country is willing
to endorse or tolerate.

At the Massachusetts, Republican con-

introduced in the way of ballot boxes in
which the votes for the several candi-

work in the east but it would be useless
to try such an experiment in the free.

of the bayonet would the rural states

cherished right of arising in nominat-
ing convention and announcing the vote
