MAY APPEAL TO CONGRESS-.
Gov. Steele Says Oklahoma Set
tiers are i'm a Destitute
Condition..

Chicago. Dec. 30.-Gov. q. w.
Steele of Oklahoma, now in this city,
says there is great restitution among
the people in his territory. He says
there are hundreds of farmers who
are very near the point of destitution,
and will certainly reach it unless fur.
Their measures of relief are devised.
The trouble began with the "boomer"
days. The boomers squatted on the
edge of the territory and INDUCED in
occasional forages across the border
while waiting for the Presidents proc
lamation. In this way their means
were dissipated, and when the procla-
nation came they rusehd in in a des-
titute condition. Add to this that
last seasons crops were bad and the
present results are inevitable. Money
is scarce there is no work for those
who are willing, and, unfortunately,
there is a large floating population
which is chronically indispOsed 10
work. Gov. Steel says he may go on
to Washington with a view to asking
congress to take action in the matter.

Official Paper of the City of Sedali
BACKWARD AND FOR WARD

The old year was not arrayed IN a
mantle of immaculate snow as he
slipped out down the valley of obliv-
ion last night. Instead, he was a
shadowy spectre clad in the misty gold
of starlight and moonlight. In his
hair we're tangled the fugitive beams
of far away planet of fire, and on
his feet we're sandals that the morning
sun might fade ere an hour in the
sky.
He had many farewells on his reluc-
tant lips. Farewell, he said, to the
wife in the weeds of widowhood /;
farewell to the husband, whose early
hopes were buried in the grave of a
good woman; farewell to the child,
from whose clinging arms he had
aiken fond father or mother or
both. Farewell" he said, "for my
heart is heavy that bereavement
came TO you when | set the
violets abloom in the mead
ows, or when | loosened the silver
streams of summer, or when | turned
to scarlet the oaken leaves of autumn,
or when I hung the fragile icicles
from the frozen roof :"
And then the bells in the towers
and the voices of the people cried in
chorus to the conquered fighter in
field of Time, farewell Take with
you on your shimmering shield OF
starlight and moonlight our many
woes, our multitudinous misdoings,
our host of unhappy errors, and all
the evil in these hearts of ours
And as the last faint semblance of
this misty shape vanished behind the
veil and down the valley of
the past. there arose from
the red rim of the east a
jubilant young champion out of the
coral caves of the sea. He had 8
front ike Jove, and wings
like the herald Mercury and
a countenance that beamed with prom
Use like the holy countenance of a
saint entering the realm of glory.
And then the silver-toned bells,
touched by the divine inspiration of
the worlds beloved laureate, pealed
forth the exclamation Of Alfred Ten
nyson
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky.
The hy ing clouds, the frosty night;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells and let him die
Ring out the Old, ring in the New;
Ring, happy bells, acress the snow
The year is going-let him 60;
Ring out the False, ling In the True
Ring out the grief that says the mind,
For those that here We see no more
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind
Ring out the slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife,
Ring In the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times
Ring out, ring ont, the mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in !
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love Of truth and right,
Ring i'm the common love of Good
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrow lust of gold
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace
Ring In the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kiDdlier hand
Ring out the darkness of the land

the promised land; there cities would
rise out of the earth to be possessed
by the blacks. He continued in this
strain for more than an hour and then
dismissed them, telling them to spread
the glad tidings among the people.

BUTTERwORTH'S HOBBY.
SEATTLE, Sept 10. 1891.

SEATTLE, Sept 10, 1891
To THE EDITOR: Ben Butterworth, now
abroad as commissioner for the Worlds fair, OBJ
serves that SERIOUS distractions are placed in
the way OF foreign exhibits by the Mckinley
bill" Butterworth's observations, notwith-
standing the purport of his mission, should be
taken cum 9rGno sails. His entire vision has
been filed with such obstacles during his entire
political career He enjoys the distinction of
being the only advocate of horizontal tariff
claiming membership in his party. He acquired
his views as law student when the tide of
Cobdenism was at its height twenty-five years
ago, and his ''observations' ever since have
been made through the spectacles borrowed at
that time. Four or Ave years ago he attracted
some attention by making a hobby of Erastus
"yman's proposition for complete and reeipro-
cal trade with Wyman's country, Canada, and
rode his hobby for some time, both at home and
in Canada, where, of course, the proposition
met with favor. II has evidently never occurred
to him that Canada produces nothing that this
country does not produce in surplus, and that
the only effect OF free imports here would be to
open competition TO the natural products of the
United States. Nor does it seem to have oc-
Cured to him that Canada would not afford
market Tor any American product that could
possibly be developed at home. 1t may be some

in fact usually small hope OF success unless
the Democrats should quarrel among
themselves as they did in 1873. when the
famous Kelly bolt defeated Lucius Robin
son, the regular Democratic nominee and
elected Cornell: and this is the only guber-
Material victory the Republicans have had
in New York since the election Of General
Dix, in 1872. despite the fact that they
carried the state for their presidential can
didate in 1850 and 1888.
With a united Democracy the Repub-
Hcans are generally beaten in New York.
The registered vote of New York in Octo-
Der. 1890. was 1, 46O, 2a5, but in November
z5s 707 of the voters did not take the
trouble to vote. When party lines are
strictly drawn and there are no quarrels TO
divide the Democracy, New York is a
Democratic state, but there is bitter
contest raging at present between
the supporters Of Governor Hill
and the friends of Grover Cleveland
for control of the impending state conven-
ton at Saratoga on the 18th inst. The
State Liquor Dealers Association is not
friendly this year TO Governor Hill and
Tammany Hall: and Boss Mclaughlin, of
Kings county. will bring solid delegation
from Kings county, who will demand the
nomination of Mayor Alfred C. Chapin, of
Brooklyn, for governor. Ex-Congressman
Flower is favored by Hill and Tammany
and is the favorite of all factions save that
of Kings county, but while Flower will
probably be nominated, there will be q
bitter contest if Hills partisans attempt
IN any high-handed way to control the
convention.
The Republicans Of New York can not
make any such effective fight upon the
issues of the tariff and free silver as Nc
Kinley and Sherman are making in Ohio.
The leaders of both parties in New York
are opposed TO Stree silver" and there are
too many Democratic protectionists and
moderate tariff men of the school of RAN
dali and Tilden to justify a premature
tariff campaign this year. The campaign
will be made largely upon state and per-
sonal issues and in such a contest the Re-
publicans will have an immense advant-
age in the character of their candidate
and in bis splendid record as president of
the state Senate
Here in Seattle we regard Mr.. Fassett
almost as a fellow-citizen, and his nomina-
ton is the subject of profound qualification
to his many warm personal friends.

THE SWIVEL SERVICE REFORM.

The Mugwump press of New England do
not enjoy President Harrison's admins
tration Of the civil service. and upbraid
him with failure TO keep the pledges he
made TO enforce genuine reform. A spe-
cifc subject of complaint is the presidents
failure TO reappoint General Corse post
master OF Boston. On the other hand,
there are great many Republicans who
denounce the president because of his per-
sistent obedience to the letter of the civil
service law of 1883 and its administration
by Theodore Roosevelt, who was appointed
10 the National Civil Service Commission
by the president. The Albany Eusning
Journal says:
The people OF this country are not unit on
this question Of the civil service There are
many who believe that the hum lest Republican
or Democrat is entitled 10 his rroportiouate
share Of the fruits of victory. II only the
UPPER crust is o be recosu .Zed in American
politics, then had We not better adoDt some
other form Of government than the one We
have, which claims TO be Of, as we'll As Tor, the

The truth about our imported civil
service system is that it is a failure and al
ways will be failure. II is an effort to ulti-
ma'ely graft, through life tenure, a vulgar,
low-hred, insolent aristocracy of Office
holders upon the government, and no
party in America could ever stay long in
powerthat would literally transplant the
English system of civil service 10 America.
The American public would not endure
