THE CAPITALISTS OF KANSAS.

The New York Tribune goes out of its
way in a latte issue to editoriallv repri-
mand Kansas for having elected an ALI
ance legislature, for favoring free silver,
etc. The Tribune voices the interest of
the gold bug of Wall street by declaring
that all money hereafter loaned in Kan
sas must be made payable in gold, or in
Sl.29 in silver, for every dollar borrowed.
The Tribune WI ter is not only fool but
an exceedingly preJudlced one, or other
wise tool and an unusually narrow one.
Kansas wants money, undeniably. for
her people, being the most progressive
and enterprising of any of all the states
are unwilling TO wait until they can
make it by the ordinary process of dig
ging. delving and saving 1t from their
own rich resources: but they can better
afford 10 go without borrowed capital
than TO sacrifice all individual holdings
and further her municipalities and cor
porations TO the brink of ruin in the In
terest and at the dictation OF eastern
capitalists. which capitalists would bc
anything else but for their opportunity,
under existing circumstances OF teeciHg
the west IN every conceivable direction.

THE FORUM.

With the March number The Forum
began its sixth year and its eleventh vol
ume. The demand for bound volumes
is so large as to warrant a republication
OF all the back numbers to date. The
Forum, therefore, has given its subscrib-
ers an opportunity to secure complete
files of bound volumes -four half-voiumes
or two volumes to the year, without in
crease of price for the numbers that
were out of print. 1t is possible, there
fore, now, for a complete file of The
Forum to be secured-a particularly
fortunate circumstance for subscribers,
because The Forum is probably the only
high grade periodical that has been long
established of which complete sets of
back numbers can be procured, if ct all,
at less than a prohibitory price.

THE STATUS OF THE STRIP.
RED Rock, Ok, Feb. 81, 1891,

RED ROCK, OK, FEB. Il, 1871.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Was there not provision in the law
| o ssed at the first session of the present
congress, which was an act organizing
the territory Of Oklahoma, providing
| that as soon as the Indian title to the
Cherokee strip was extinguished. the
Cherokee strip should then and there
become part of the public domain,
and open for settlement without further
| legislation?
What is the meaning Of this in plain
English: Has not the supreme courts
of the United States decided that the
| Indians have no title to the strip!
What then is there to hinder the presi-
den issuing a proclamation, that this
strip is a part of the public domain and
open to settlement, in compliance with
laws already passed? And if he does
not do this, why should not the people
consider that under this law they have
authority to 60 into the strip without
further ceremony, and would the presl-
dent be justified in again ejecting them
from the strip?
When was this law passed? What
date? Was it before or after the presl-
dent issued his proclamation last March,
| ordering people out of the strip. Ii be-
fore, then, of course, as he had authority
| then, to order them out, SO LIE would
have now. But, if this law passed after
| that proclamation was issued. seems to
me the people have good authority to
take advantage of the law. 1t VIII be
remembered the president was careful to
convey in his proclamation, that at that
time the people were unlawfuily IN the
strip. But since that law referred to
was passed, it would seem that as the
courts have decided that the Indian title
is extingulshed or that they never had
any title. This strip is now and has been,
ever since the passage of the act organ
izing the territory of Oklahoma, part
of the public dominion, and open for set
Element, and that all there remains to do
now is for the people to take advantage
of 1t, and the right of every American
citizen, and settle on the public domain,
or the right 70 settle on government
| land wherever it can be found.
But even if this view of the case be
wrong, supposing that the Cherokees,
now that they have an opportunity,
come to some terms with the secretary
of the interior for the REIMBURSEMENT of
their claim to the strip Is it necessary
to wait for ratification of the terms by
congress, or would the proviso in the
above-quoted law hold good and provide
sor the imme late opening of the strip:
Was there not also a proviso in the
same law, providing that any person
who was seized in fee simple title to l6C
acres of land in any other state or terri
tory could not enter or take claims in
the Cherokee strip or other Indian lands
to be open for settlement? Will this not
Lold good until this proviso of the law is
repealed or made null and void by di-
rect act of the legislature relating tc
same, no manner i'll what manner the
strip may be opened: Please explain
and oblige thousands. Yours,

LIVE STOCK STATISTICS.

The agricultural department estimates
of number and value of farm animals,
made at the end of each year and return
able in January to the department of
agriculture, were made public Feb. 10.
There appears to have been little change
in numbers, except on the Pacific coast
and in certain portions of the Rocky
mountains area, where the winter of
1889 and 1890 was unusually severe.
Losses were especially heavy on the
Pacific slope. The number of horses on
farms as reported is 14,056,750 average
price of all ages, $67, a decline from last
year of S1.s4 The number of mules is
., 296. 532, having an average value of
$77SS, decline from last year of SIC.
The number of mich COWS is 10,019,591,
an increase of &c, 70S from last year; the
average value per head is S21.62, which
is less by SIC. than last years average.
There is an increase of dairying in the
south, especially in the mountain region,
which offers inducements of cheap lands
and abundant grasses, Other cattle
aggregate 36,S75, 64S. Including those
on ranches. the highest value is $2S.64 in
Connecticut; the lowest s.. 46 in Arkan-
sas, and in Texas $3.50. The estimated
number of sheep is 3,431 ,126; the aver
age value S2.51. The aggregate number
of swine is 50,625. 106.

40 EACH HIS OWN"

The emperor of Germany declared re-
Gently that he was out of patience with
the attitude assumed by the iron and
coal industries, and that Especial favor

That, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser, is the principle of absolute
free trade Two months ago, says the
same paper, the emperor declared him.
self in favor of increasing the income
tax, and IF he keeps on, he will reform
himself out of his throne"
There is little chance of that, we
think. The Germans cannot fail to ap-
preciate the earnestness of their young
ruler. AS a race they are not stirred by
passion suddenly, and he can count on
their support to keep him on his throne
by the same right that he announces as
his policy, ''suum cuique"-to each his
own.
William has surprised his critics by
his ability to rule the great empire Of
Germany, without the least assistance
from Bismarck; and for Germany he has
proved himself to be the new wine in
the new bottle.

COMBINE AGAINST THE COMBINES

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
We are Americans and conscientiously
believe this is the best country in the
world We are also kansans, and like
wise believe we are on the divide be-
tween the wet east and dry west, the cold
north and the hot south; which gives us
the greatest variety of products of any
state in the Union. and of the most
superior quality. We are, indeed, des-
tined to be one of the leading producing
states.
When came to Kansas l thought we
could convert all our surplus into stock,
and. allowing supply and demand to reg
ulate the price of the principal products
beef and pork thought it would al
ways prove satisfactory, because we
would gain the product on the grain we
fed and on the stock we grew; but, alas,
trusts made the law of supply and de-
name of no avail: but for their selfish
gains combines do not stop on beef and
pork, but include everything we pro-
duce. We cannot sell bushel of wheat

The history of America has been one
of compromise and crime from the very
start. The Constitution declared us free,
but permitted the holding of slaves. We
have paid dearly for its amendment

people. We made tariff TO
