Investigation. As we have had oc-
casion to remark before, boards OF
trade, doubtless, have much to do
with prices, but not all. Abolish
by legislative enactment boards of
trade, organized for the purpose of
dealing in futures. Such law
would be constitutional, for dealing
in futures is nothing but gambling
legalized. and made Legitimate only
by custom. We say abolish boards
of trade, demand cheaper rates of
transportation and if the price of
products is not enhanced, then we
will admit that we cannot give the
solution.

Legislation for Workinumen.

MR. VOORHEES, has offered the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution in
the senate:
WHEREAS, The deep and wide
spread depression and decay of the
agricultural interests of the Ameri-
can people, the enormous and appall-
ing amount of mortgaged indebted
ness on agricultural lands, the total
failure of home markets to furnish
remunerative prices for farm prod
ucts, the palpable scarcity and in
suficiency of money III circulation
in the hands of the people with
which to transact the business of
the country, are circumstances of the
most overwhelming importance to
the safety and the well being of the
government; therefore be it,
Resolved, That it is the highest duty
of congress in the present emergen-
cy to lay aside all discussion and
consideration of mere party issues,
and to give prompt and immediate
attention to the preparation and
adoption of such measures as are re-
quired for the relief of the farmers
and other overtaxed and underpaid
laborers of the United States.
He asked that the resolution be
printed and laid on the table, and
gave notice that at the close of the
morning hour business on Wednes-
day he would ask permission to sub
nit some remarks to the senate in
relation to it.-CapitaL.

AS WILL be seen, the settlers in the
Cherokee strip have been ordered
out by the President. They say
they will not leave unless driven
out and trouble is feared. There is
no doubt but the Presidents procla-
nation will be enforced and the Ill
innate result will be that those who
have unlawfGlly entered the strip
will not be permitted to acquire IL
tie, even after the lands are declared
open for settlement. When Okla
bona was opened last spring, every
settler, when making an entry, was
required to make an affidavit that he
had not been in the territory prior
to April 22nd, the day Of the open
ing, except on lawful business, and
entering the territory prior to that
time was a good ground for contest.
This is the only fair way to dispose
of the matter. Law-abiding citizens
who wait until the lands are legally
open to settlement, before entering,
have a right to ask, and receive, fair
treatment. No man should be al
lowed to take advantage of his own
wrong to the detriment of others.

Farmers Alliance Resolutions.

The Farmers Alliance, Grange
and Knights of Labor have agreed
upon a platform. The salient feat
ures are the demands that no more
national banks shall be chartered,
and no charters now in existence
shall be renewed; that legal tender
treasury notes be issued in lieu of
national bank notes when such ma
tional bank notes shall be retired.
Free and unlimited coinage of
silver or the issue Of silver certifi-
Gates against an unlimited deposit
of bullion.
Dealing in futures in agricultu-
raj and mechanical products shall
be prohibited.
That the alien ownership of land
be prohibited and that all lands
now held by railroads and other cor
porations in excess of such as are
actually used and needed by them
be reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.
That taxation, national and state,
shall not be used to build up one
interest at the expense of another.
That congress provide for the is
sue of sufficient amount of frac-
tional currency to facilitate ex-
change through the medium of the
of the United States mail.
That the government shall con-
troll the means of communication
and transportation to the extent of
insuring their operation in the inter-
ests of the people, with due regard
to the rights of those owning and
operating the same.
That such legislation be enacted
as will effectually prevent the Or
ganization or maintenance Of trusts
and combines for the purposes of
speculation.
Demands free sugar with bounty
to home producers equal to present
tariff duties.
No further extension of govern
ment credit to railroads.
The following demands are made
of the state government:
Making usurious interest bar to
Judgment.
The adjustment of salaries of pub
lie officials.
Opposition to bonds in favor of
railroads or any corporation.
All text books for use in common
schools to be compiled, printed and
bound by the state and furnished to
to pupils at actual cost.
Fixing just and uniform mini
mum prices on farm products and
recommending that all the agricul-
tural states be requested to cooper
ate in this matter.
The resolutions were not received
in time for publication in full in
this issue, but the above gives fair
outline Of the legislation demanded.
Candidates for congress and for the
Legislature should take due notice
thereof and govern themselves &C
cordingly.

Ordered Out.

The President has issued procla-
nation ordering all settlers off the
Cherokee strip, The proclamation
is as follows:
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN The
lands known as the Cherokee strip
are not open to settlement. The
bill pending in congress and intend
ed to provide civil government for
the country known as Oklahoma
does not provide for opening the
Cherokee strip, or outlet, to settle
ment, and has not as vet received
the vote Of the two houses of con-
gress, or the approval of the Presi-
dent. The entrance of settlers up
on these lands is unlawful and all
persons are hereby warned against
entering thereon. When these
lands shall become open for settle
ment, prompt public notice will be
given of that fact, but in the mean
time it is my duty to remove all
persons therefrom, and those who
enter unlawfully will only involve
themselves in improbable trouble,
as they will be Immediately re-
moved.

SENATOR VOORHEES, resolution to
lay aside all discussion of party is
sues and give immediate attention to
the consideration Of measures for
the relief of farmers and underpaid
laborers was most timely. An
emergency has arisen which is not
confined to any locality, but which
is general and widespread. All
over the United States comes the
Macedonian cry for relief and con-
gress will do we'll to heed the call
and act in accordance with the reso-
luton. That they will have a most
difficult task all will agree, but that
does not relieve them from making
the attempt. If necessary, let the
wheels of government rest for few
weeks, so far as other legislation is
concerned, and let the united, earn
est labors and best intelligence of
congress be devoted for a time to
the solution of this problem.
