ANOTHER APRIL 22D.

| It is now almost a settled fact that a
few days notice, presumably ten, will
| be given of the opening of new body of
Lands east of Oklahoma. There is an
| honest difference of opinion as to wheth-
er this IS the correct thing to do. After
an academic tuition in the hardships,
vicissitudes, wrangles and in some cases
consequent crimes at the opening of Ok
lahOma proper, great many people are
convinced in their own minds that
proclamation giving a certain number Of
days notice is impolitic and after the
former experience, foolish. There are
others who reason that this preliminary
PRONUNCIATION means extensive advertis-
ing, great horde of new people and
new money and a fresh awakening of
prosperity and general invigoration.
They also argue that single proclama-
ton throwing open the lands on the day
1t is issued, would be unfair to people at
distance, no matter how small, and
would in no wise Obviate the troubles
that will occur whether an hour is set
for the race for homes or not.
Of course, there are excellent argu-
ments on both sides, but it appears to be
the more wholesome and the most I'M
selfish view to take of it, that day
should be set. This will make it of ma
tional note and bring in people from all
over the Union, while if the other course
is adopted, it is likely to be only of local
consequence.
But in either case, with its prospect of
a succession of openings, Oklahoma is
bound to liven up and boil and bubble
with new-gained vigor. Oklahoma's
boom will probably mark and be in
itiatory to general revival throughout
the west.

A MARVELLOUS CHANCE.
From the Kansas City Times.


Before the two parties settle down on
presidential nominations the peculiar
strength of two leading men ought to be
mentioned.
The west wishes representation for the
agriculturists. Kansas especially thinks
that it may be saved to Republicanism if
the farmers movement can be checked
by nomination that will satisfy them.
Why then can not Kansas Republicans
make hit by presenting the name of C..
Wood Davis of Sedgwick county? l t
begins to appear that he knows more
about agriculture than the United States
bureau OF statistics and all the statements
combined. He is a practical farmer.
He is a practical railroad man.
He has been the prophet of higher prices
Tor grain and higher prices are coming
so fast that turmoil of bull speculation
in the heat of August has been the sensa-
ton of the season. The Alliance likes
him and even the protectionists could not
exactly object. He writes forcibly, talks
well and is an upright citizen.
On the Democratic side, Senator Ar
thur T. German is a master of organiza-
ton, a devoted party man and a practi-

smokes nor touches alcoholic liquor. The
Alliance seems to like him, too.
But the particular strength of these
two men is that if they could head the
tickets beautiful phenomenon Of poll
tics would come to pass. The New York
Sun could support them both Since
1876 that wayward but always readable
journal has not been able to support
nybody on regular presidential ticket.
1t would be campaign of much en-
HANGED comfort if Mr. Dana could shine
for two. He quite capable-in all senses
of the word-of earnestly urging the
election of both Senator German and
Mr.. Davis. He supports the senator al
ready as his sort of Democrat. He uses
with unqualified appreciation Mr.. Davis
deductions and figures upon the agricul-
tural situation.
For once it wouid be an experience
worth many sacrifices to bottle Mr.. Dana
both ways. The western Republicans
can get Mr.. Davis on the ticket, if they
insist upon him, and the western Demo-
Gratis have but to intimate acquiesceuce
to make certain Senator Germans NOM
nation. Just to tie up the Sun for one
presidential year Kansas ought to he
willing to forget Blaine, and Missouri to
postpone Mr.. Cleveland until 1896.

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.

1t is an old saying that a woman who
marries below her station lets herself
down to the mans level; that she cannot
lift him up to her own. AS general
proposition this may be true, but there
are exceptions. The history of our own
country furnishes number of exam
| pies, notable among them the case of
the late Senator Beck, of Kentucky.
When young man and but recently
arrived from his native Scotland, he
was employed by large planter as over
seer, and his principal business was to
look after the negro slaves and keep
them at work during the day and from
rowing about at night-a position that
placed those who held it but little above
the slaves, in the social scale. Beck's
employer had a grown daughter who
took fancy to the Scotch overseer ard
ere long they were married. Young
Beck was not only common fellow"
but he was illiterate, knowing next to
nothing Of text books. But his wife
was ambitious as well as sentimental,
and she encouraged him to take up
course Of study and assisted him therein,
actually teaching him to read and write,
so it is said. The world knows the
sequel: how James 3. Beck rose by the
exercise of his will power, aided by bis
wife to the highest station in the coun-
try to which he was eligible.
Governor Eagle, of Arkansas. has got
a smart wife, too. She taught him how
to read and write, and then she made
him governor. If Arkansas was only
pivotal state, Mrs, Eagle would proba-
bly, be looking toward the White House
now. And she'may succeed in getting
at least as near it as the right wing of
the big building that stands at the other
end of Pennsylvania avenue.
After all, it depends good deal upon
the makeup, the ambition, the force of
character possessed by woman whether
she elevates or pulls down the man she
marries, whatever his social status
may be.

REED ON RECIPROCITY.
From the Globe Democrat.

From the Globe-Democrat.
The prudent friends of Thomas B.
Reed will regret that genteman's recent
utterances on the question of reciprocity.
He is reported as saying that arrange
ments of this sort "are attempts to
carry on commerce by diplomacy" and
to have added that ''the commercial
world can only do business on great
commercial principles, not on cores
pOndence between state Departments.
The sneering reference to a scheme
which Is converted into law by a meas
ure which he himself supported is an
imputatlon on his party loyalty, and the
ignorance which it displays is a refec-
ton upon his knowledge and resources
as a statesman. It is true, Of course, that
the reciprocity provision was not in the
Mckinley bill as originally presented. and
that it was attached 20 the measure in its
latest stages. on the recommendation of
Secretary Blaine But the ex-Speaker
supported the measure at its passage
with this provision in it, and he cha n
piOned the law on the stump during the
Congressional canvass last year. He
must have known the character aud
scope Of this provision as well that time
as he does now. Indeed, everything
that has been learned about the scheme
during the short period in which it has
been in actual operation has been favor
able 10 it and has verified the most hope
full predictions of its author and its al
vOCates.
II viii not do for Mr.. Reed m this
exigency TO attempt to throw any OBJ
structions in the course of the reciprocity
project. We have already entered into
pTofitab be commercial arrangements with
several countries Of the continent, and
efforts in this direction VIII Re con
tinued until we have made trade bargains
with every other important country on
the hemisphere. The Republican party
is irrevocably committed 20 this policv.
Reciprocity will be the chief plank in
the Republican national platform OF
1892. The attempt 70 carry on com

How Elephants Are Tanned,

In the island of Ceylon the people are
very fond Of elephant hunting. They be-
gin by clearing an open space n ar forest,
part of which is strongly fenced in with
trunks of trees. with open places for doors.
This is called corral. When so much of
the work is done the natives get behind
and around the elephants with blazing
torches, shaking spears and rafting all!
kinds of noisy instruments in order to
brighten the huge animals while all the
time driving them toward the open doors
of the corral.
At last with a rush the great herd enters,
the entrances are barred, and the poor
giants of the woods find themselves hope
lessly imprisoned. An elephants rage is
dreadful to witness, but the ingenuity OF
man has found way of subduing it, One
by one each prisoner is freed again, aud
tame elephants, remarkable for their
sagacity, come up TO him, stroke him with
their trunks and otherwise cajole him
until they lead him on to good, strong
tree. The natives creep up behind, and in
a minute a rope with a running knot is
around the elephants leg and made fast 20
a tree.
All the time this is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded vic
TIM but as soon as he is secured they 20
away aud leave him. which is a shabby
trick. Then the men bring him nice cocoa
nuts and leaves 70 eat which, OF course he
refuses, as he is again in great passion
and struggling 10 be free But hunger
subdues even the fereest. and at last his
wild roaring ceases to resOund through the
woods and he is forced 10 eat.
From that time the tanning process is
comparatively easy; again and again be ~
fed, as he requires it, by a kind hand; and
the elephant, susceptible 20 kindness, be-
comes at last dociIe servant Of the man.

EVIDENTLY A SLIP.

In speaking Of President Harrison's
speeches on his recent "trip TO Vermont.
IN nearly all of which he very appropri-
ately referred to the abundant crops and
hopeful outlook for this country in con-
trast with the reverse condition on the
other side Of the world, the Leavanworth
Times expresses the opinion that such
reference by the president ought to have
the effect on the market of this country
OF materially advancing prices generally.
Why, or upon what theory the Times
does not suggest. The presidents utter
ances were eminentlv proper and patri-
Otto. but there was nothing in them. in
regard 10 the conditions mentioned. that
was not known TO every person in this
country who reads the newspapers.
There is just about as much reason in
the Times observation referred To as
there Is IN some of the Peoples party
ScreeChers that that following Is entitled
TO the credit for the bountiful crops and
promising prospects for prosperity tothe
farmers and the whole country. The
esteemed Times does not often exhibit a
disposition to toady 70 any BODY or source
OF authority. and this makes It's ebuiitinn
referred to all the more surprising. It
must have been something Of a Slipsus

COMING OUR WAY.

Europeans are as watchful Of the
United States and the goings-on over
here as our own people, and sometimes
are quicker to appreciate the involvings
of situation and to take advantage of
1T than We are. For instance, when it
first began to appear that the crops of
Europe were going to be short this year,
and bountiful in this coutry, scheme
was inaugurated over there to draw all
the gold from this country and so reduce
the volume of the currency here as to
prevent a great rise in the prices of food
products, and at the same time provide
themselves over there with ready cash
with which to purchase needed supplies
from us when the emergency should
arise. Everything seemed to be running
their way, even TO the low price for
breadstuffs here. But it was not salts
factory to our producers, who knew that
the general situation entitled them to
better prices than were offered or prom
Ised, and, in order to secure what they
were entitled to, they quietly resolved to
hold their wheat until the price should
advance to point that the conditions
warrant And now, in order to hedge
on the rise in prices that
must enSue the smart Europeans
are hurrying gold back here TO purchase
as much wheat as possible while the price
isyet comparatively low. Their schemes
have no doubt had some effect here. but
the benefit to them and disadvantage to
Us Is only temporary; in the end it will
work out all right and to the advantage
of the American producer.
