DEMOCRACY AND THE ALLIANCE.

When THE GAZETTE writes in oppO-
sition to the sub-treasury and other
wild schemes of political and financial
quackery. ''the reform press cries out
that THE GAZETTE is trying to dis
rupt the Alliance" When THE GAZETTE
pleads for the farmer as the under
dog" in this financial and tariff strug-
gle. the rabid Democratic organs cry
out that THE GAZETTE has gone over
to the Alliance sub-treasuryites." De-
mocracy is the party of the people.
This republic can not live with the
farmer degraded to the condition of a
serf Radical financial and tariff legis-
lation have gradually impoverished
and degraded the farmer. The farmer
is in revolt against conditions that OPP
press, and quack have awaited them
selves of this revolt to offer deadly nos
trums to the people that will grow in
favor. unless Democracy is true to its
mission and to its principles. The pro-
ducts of the farmer are the basis of all
life, and the American farmer must
be protected by American Democracy
against Republican class legislation
and against political charlatanry. The
Alliance is doing and has done a great
work in educating the farmer and
arousing him. True Democracy has
nothing to suffer or to fear from the
Alliance or from the. politicasters who
have fastened themselves onto the Al
lance.
The Alliance has been and is an edu

farmer of South Carolina and Ten

resulting from Republican class legisla-

Alliance education, political frauds and

WHY THEY MOCK HIM.

Postmaster-Genera Wanamaker had
considerable dealings in one way and an
other with the broken Keystone bank.
That is evident from his own testimony.
He lived on terms Of the closest and
most confidential intimacy with Presi-
dent Lucas, who died in 1888. He bor-
rowed from the bank sums of money
much larger than it was authorized by
law to lend TO any individual or firm.
Mr.. Wanamaker appeared before the
investigating committee at Phila-
delphia early IN June to tell all he knew
of his relationship with the hank. 1t
will be remem bered that he expressed
pleasure at the opportunity offered
for giving The committee such infor-
nation as he possessed. He stated that
he was a depositor only, and never
owned a share of the stock.
Recently. Mr.. Yardley, the receiver
of the bank, testified before the commits
sion that the books showed where stock
in the bank to the amount of 1925 shares
had been issued to and signed by John
Wanamaker on two different occasions
in 1886 and 1887. 1t also appeared that
a previous issue of 200 shares had been
made to him in 1883. Other discrepan-
cies were revealed in his testimony
concerning the fraudulent stock loaned
him by Lucas as collateral. 1t is hard
for the public to reconcile these dis
closures with the good mans previous
assurances and statements. He may be
able to do it, and the wonder is that the
committee has not given him chance
to do so, as he has expressed desire to
that effect. From this brief summary
it will be clearly understood why the
comic papers and others are INDUCING
in such heartless gibes at the good
mans religion.

Opening Of Territory Lands


OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T.. July 6.-Hon J.
). Struble, ex-chairman of the house corr
mlttee on territories, is in the city. He
noted with evident interest the vast
strides of improvement made by
the Territory during the last
two years. In relation 10 the all i'm
portant question which is upon everybody 5
tongue concerning the opening of the Sac
and Fox, Pottowattamie and Iowa Indian
lands east of here, Mr. Struble said
TO GAZETTE reporter: The lands
Will probably be opened at any time
from the middle TO the latter part of Sep
TENDER, provided your people take such an
interest in the matter as TO mako it improb-
able that the department will pursue i
leisurely course. l regard it of the utmost
Importance on this and all other subjects
affecting the interests of your territory.
that your people shall give active and
prompt attention TO matters requiring
executive or departmental action. You
cannot expect that your affairs will receive
that prompt and satisfactory attention
they should receive simply because you
be the case because OF the justice
involved in the cause. It. should
be remembered that this IS 4 vast
country, with innunerable interests. The
press for consideration ON the mind of the
president and his heads of departments, and
with persistent actlulty OF many sections to
secure their rights, your people will be
found at the middle or tail end of the pro
cession unless they pass vigorously
determidedly to the front. The ad-
ministration is undoubtedly DESTROYS of
doing right by this territory, but
the pressure upon it by people Interested in
their particular sections NAY result unin-
territorial on the part of the president and
the secretary OF the interior in delays
prejudicially to your people. when BY yigor
Gus and persistent policy On your
part these prejudicial delays
may be avoided. | think that on the re-
port being made by the lloting agents on
the county east of you, a delegation should
be sent to Washingtos, and there TO remain
until the president issues his proclamation
opening these lands to settlement"
In relation to the head OF the system of
specializing in soldiers declaratory state
ments, Mr.. Strubie thought it would be wise
to bring this matter to the attention
of the secretary of the interior or
the commissioner of the general land de-
partment, with view TO such an order TO
the local land officers as viii prevent such
schemes from being carried into effect. Mr.
Struble did not think that without autho-
ity from the department the land Offices
could be closed.
Mr.. Struble will leave tomorrow for the
Chlckisaw country, where he will spend Il
few days looking over this fertile field. 1t
is his desire to visit every portion of the

The president of the Polytechnic college al
rived IN Fort Worth Yesterday with his
family. The gentleman IS Rev. Mr.. Adj

their permanent home. y gentleman said
yesterday if he had ten houses built HSar

TIME YET TO WORK.

Fort Worth has met and is meeting
the financial depression as well as any
town in the country, and much better
than some have met it. Fort Worth
has done we'll, but Fort Worth could
have done better if all the
people of Fort Worth had con-
tributed their share to the efforts in
behalf Of the town. Men with large
landed possessions stood aloof and
marked up the price OF lots and acres
made more valuable by the works OF
others. Had all the people worked
when work was effective, the Albuquer-
que would have supplemented the pack
cry and fine hotel would have supple
mented the brewery and cotton mill.
To give permanent value to lands some
thing else is needed besides watching
other people work and marking up
prices. Fort Worth can do much more
than it has done if its people will all
get together, but the day has passed
when few men will do it all.

commissioner it was learned the girl was
not eighteen years old and the prospective
groom seventeen, anS having no consent of
their parents the license was refused them.
This was a new and unexpected difficulty.

ARDMoRE, I. T.. July 6.-The trial of the
case of the United States VS.. Ed Jordan,
charged with criminal assault, has been in
progress for the past several days in the
United States commissioners court. Jor-

three children, and runs 2 small shop on
Main street, next door to the postoffice
Last Wednesday his little daughter and
Henrietta McElroy, the child of a neigh
boring negro, visited his shop. Jordan sent
his little girl to inquire in regard to the
purchase of some chickens, when he in
duced the little McElroy girl, who is but
eleven years old, to enter small room in
the rear of the shop, and after Offering her
rum to drink, which she refused, horribly
outraged her. Her cries and sobs attracted
the attention of some passers-by, who eff
fected an entrance to the shop, but not I'M
til the brute had accomplished his fiendish
purpose. He was at once arrested and
lodged il Jail. Could the colored populace
have secured him it is safe to say trial by
Jury would never have been reached, and
the courts would have been saved the
trouble and expense of trial by Judge
Lynch Jordan came here from Henrietta

Does it prohibit foreign loan compa-
