In Good Shape For Pessage-The Perkins
Substitute.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Under the
special order made a few days ago the
Oklahoma bill got the right Of way in
the House yesterday and the general
debate on the measure lasted for several
hours. OF the many speeches there
were but two in opposition, made by
Mr.. Barnes, Of Georgia, and Mr.. Hare,
of Texas. The burden of their COM
plant was that an attempt was
being made to violate treaty stip-
ulations and gobble up the Cherokee
Strip. Representative Mansur, of Mis-
souri,, who made the opening speech in
the last House in behalf of Oklahoma,
spoke, and on account of his service on
the Territorial Committee in the Fiji
tieth Congress, the study which he had
given the question, and several visits to
Oklahoma last year, he was enabled to
make strong and convincing argument
and to him was relegated the duty Of
criticising the validity of the Indian
titles. Mr.. Springer and other staunch
friends of the bill also spoke.
The bill is having plain sailing and
Judge Perkins, of Kansas. will close the
general debate to-day. Then the de-
bate under the five minute rule will be
had and the indications are that the bill
will be passed before to-morrow's ses-
sion.
Judge Perkins is of the opinion that
the opposition in the House this session
amounts to practically nothing.

STICKTOTTlVENESSa and stability win.
The REASON why SO many young men Of
the west fail is because of their insta-
bility. So many avenues are open, so
many chances present themselves that
they wander from vocation to vocation,
from place to place, and finally drift
into the nO-account, jack-of-all-trades
class. Sticktoitiveness is a sure win
ner If man has any qualifications for
winning in him. The acquaintance
ship that is built up by ten years res
idence in single city or county is a
capital in itself, if the person is of the
right sort. In business or in profess
sionsl life the fact that you have been
steadily in your place is a first-class
recommendation in itself, as many a
man has found. Make up your mind
what your life-work is to be; get at it
as ION as possible and then stick to it.

that the democratic members of the

the public receptions have been cur

CURRENCY BILLS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-At the meet
ing of the Senate's Finance Committee
yesterday the various silver and cur
rency bills that had been referred to it
were under consideration. The discus
sion covered the whole range of the
silver situation, but the coinage ques-
ton was the principal topic. ALI
the Republican members OF the
committee were present and Messrs.
Harris and Vance Of the minor
ity. The discussion is said to have
demonstrated that there was little IT
any variance of views upon the manner
il which the silver question should be
treated. There was a practical agree
ment that a bill should be passed su-
thorizing the Secretary of the Treasury
to increase the purchase of silver, store
it as bullion and issue certificates upon
1t. 1t is expected that the details of a
bill covering these propositions will be
drafted at the next meeting Of the COM
