PATRIOT BEFORE PARTISAN.

Partisanship is all right when exer-
cised in the interest of party where
the welfare of the community is
not jeopardized, but when it is so blind
as to accept any dogmas that may be
taken up, and advocate them regardless
of the best interests Of all the people, it
becomes a despicable and dangerous
thing. Among the few exceptions to the
blind partisan zeal that characterizes the
press of the Alliance we find the To-
wanda Herald, and its utterances on that
line are so heroic and full of patriotic
JUNCTION that we quote them entire and
commend them to that following extant.
The Herald says:
'"rhe reform movement was inaugurated
ostensibly to break up rings, down the
trusts, break up monopolies and stop the
concei ration of wealth, and in that spirit
we are with the movement But the politi-
cal party-the so-called party of reform,
has form ed rings of its own, and is Great
ing monopolies worse than existed before,
the war of determination is being waged
against orr mechanics, small business men
and home manufactures. Still in the har-
ness of reform we are going to fight these
new dangers, for they are worse than ever
before menaced free and independent

OKLAHOMA,

The lands originally opened to settle
ment in Oklahoma amounted to less
than ZOO, 600 acres, and population of
81. 900 occupied them in day, as it were.
In September of this year another tract
of /, 25O, 900 acres was opened, and 10000
more people went there and established
homes. The Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservation, comprising 4,500,0 600 acres,
will be opened next spring, and that will
signify an increase of probably 100000
settlers. Then there is the Cherokee
Strip, for which negotiations are pend
ing. Homes viii thus be provided for at
least 100000 more people, and the peo-
pie are waiting to go there as soon as
permission shall be given them to do so.
These figures show that during the next
twelve months Oklahoma viii be en-
larged to the extent of several times its
original size, and that its population will
be increased not less than 10000.
This viii constitute nucleus around
which will be built magnificent state
to take its place in the great sisterhood
of states. No community was ever
more auspiciously situated or had greater
promise of rapid and substantial pro-
press, and no city rejoices more heartily
thereat than does Wichita, the new en-
pire's commercial metropolis for the
time

wailing and crashing of teeth is not
only unphilosophical, but illogical and
unbecoming. 1t betrays strange for
getfulness of the history of professional
politics and demagogy, whose pathway
is marked by a continuous stream of
spilled milk, of wrecked hopes, and mis-
carriages.
The politics of the day is an essential
element of every mans business, no
more to be neglected or ignored than
any of the other factors entering into
his calculations-in fact, politics is, if
rightfully considered, the principal
thing to be thought of by ali men of live
business instincts who have so much to
fear from sudden or abrupt alterations
in laws, the collection of taxes and the
distribution of the public funds. They
talk of their unwillingness to get down
into the political mire" and so on.
That is mere begging of the question.
The political mire, so-called. exists, if at
all, through their neglect. If they went
into politics more, there would be less
mud and fewer puddles. If politics is
often dirty, it is because it is
left to the care of those
who revel in mire and mud.
Somebody has said that pigs notion of
parlor is room with puddle in the
middle of it. If parlors were occupied
by pigs, mud would take the place of
carpets. It's even so in the political
arena. The way to get rid of the mud is
to cast out the mud-wallowers and mud
singers as the money-changers were
dashed from the temple, and introduce
cleaner and more orderly and system
attic methods. Substitute competency
for incompetency, brains for Drawn, hon
esty for crookedness. and there will be
fewer jobs, deals and pulls. There will
be far less discordant Earring and whir-
ring in the working of the political ma
chine, and business activities and inter
ests will experience fewer spasms and
st. Vitus dances from alien land laws.

Mrs. Frank Leslie Wilde has taken the
name of Frank Leslie again. She asked
Judge Bookstaver of New York, on Sat
urday, to let her, and he at once issued
writ allowing her to drop the name she
acquired by her recent marriage with
Willie Wilde, and to retake the name
under which she made her fame and
fortune-Frank Leslie. Mrs. Florence
NJ. Wilde, as she gave her name in court,
stated to Judge Bookstaver, when he
asked for her reasons for desiring to dis
pense with her husbands name, that the
name Of Frank Leslie was identified
with so many publications which she
herself had done so much to make that
she wanted to retain it. She still takes
an active part in the management of the
papers, aad all her friends know her
under the old name. Judge Bookstaver
granted the decree, authorizing the
petitioner to resume the name of Frank
Leslie on Nov. 80. Mrs. Leslie Wilde
stated that she was born in New York
(she has heretofore been accredited to
New Orleans), and was ever twenty-one
years old.

Notwithstanding that the st. Louis
national convention of the anti-sub-
treasury Alliance failed to take steps for
the reorganization of the Alliance on a
non-political basis, the members of the
order in Texas who are opposed to the
Macunizing of the Alliance are taking
steps to reorganize it. The Fort Worth
Gazette says meeting has been called
at Dallas on the 31st to take such steps
as are necessary to this end. The
farmers who have left the Alliance and
have been expelled from it on account
of their opposition to the sub-treasury
would make pretty strong organization
when united in a non-political Alliance.

A snowfall in central Virginia at as
early date as this is an unusual thing,
though that section has as much snow
during the winter season, ordinarily, as
almost any other. Speaking of snow, a
good coating of it would be of incalcul-
able benefit to the wheat in this section
just at this time Wheat is looking fair
ly well, that that is up, but the ground
is too dry for rapid growth and develop
ment. A good snow fall would supply
needed moisture and at the same time
furnish fertilizing properties to the soil
that are needed, and nothing else can
impart. 1t is not too early for snow in
this section, but there is no present pros
pect that we will get any soon.

A Kansan in 2 Novel.

From the Chicago Press.
Leroy Armstrong, author of "An In
dian Man," Sergeant Gore" and many
other good stories, has just completed
book which he will give to the world
under the title of washington Brown,
Farmer" The principal character is
Kansan, man of marked peculiarities,
with whom the author became familiar
when he himself attempted to whip
portion of the western prairies into SER
vile submission. If he failed in this the
time was not wasted, for in Washington
Brown he has preserved to the world
type of man which the rapid cultivation
Of our country has almost destroyed, a
type which in the coming generation
will be known only in books or on the
stage. Mr. Armstrong has a forceful,
nervous style, well adapted to the por-
trayal of eccentric characters, and is
withaI writer striving for the best in
everything.

"Trust in God and shut your MOUTH
was what the 9-year-old grandson of the
late Rev. Lowe told his little sister the
other day when the latter was carrying
on" over prairie fire which she thought
threatened the destruction of their home
at the eastean edge of Preston, out in
Pratt county. There is a whole sermon
in that one line. He has in him the
stuff of which statesmen and patriots
are made. No calamity howl there.
Hurrah for the brave little hero.
