GUTHRIE, o. T., September 1.-THE opin-
ion is entertained here that the townsites in
the lands to be opened will not be entered
until the rush is over, and then they will
probably be surveyed and lots sold to the
highest bidders. Many fraudulent schemes
are on foot, one is to hire Indians to keep
settlers off the best claims by saying they are
allotted. The special agents have a list of
such schemers, and will see that they are
punished if they attempt TO carry them out.
The people are expecting the soldiers de-
claratory attempt to be shut off by the lands
being opened before they are assigned to
locate land Offices.

state Ticket Named.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. September 1.-THE re-
publican state convention made UP a state
ticket as follows:
Governor, ]. D. Fassett, of Chemung;
lieutenant governor, John Vrooman of Her
klmeri secretary of state, E. F. O'Connor, of
Brooklyn; comptroller, A. Z. Ware, OF James
town; treasurer, I. NJ. Hargraves. Of Monroe;
engineer and surveyor, V. ColVin, of Albany.
Andrew d. White had been a prominent
candidate for governor, and was on the slate,
and would probably have been nominated
but for his articles in Popular Science
Monthly, attention to which was directed
few days before the convention. These arti-
cles, in their general drift, array science
against scripture, eno would have been used
against him by church people.
The platform adopted is stalWaft

THE recent Tennessee mining.
troubles presented to the State au-
thorities the same difficulty which
threatened Michigan when it was pro-
posed to employ the Ionia Reformatory
prisoners at furniture-making Miehi-
gan avoided the immediate solution of
the convict labor question only by
postponing it. But it is a live ques-
ton in all States, and he who can pro-
pose q practical and adequate remedy
will be a public benefactor. Wher-
ever, as in Tennessee, a contractor Sc
cures convict labor, that labor Is
brought into direct competition with
free and honest artisans, and bitterness
of feeling must inevitably result. Too
often, smarting under the indignity
and wrong imposed upon them, free
labor organizes in revolt, and treasure
and human lives are sacrificed.
Trouble is temporarily quelled. but
the cause Is unremoved. The con-
tinued opposition. both by force and
argument, threatens 10 utterly abolish
the contract convict labor system.
Then viii be presented the inhuman
and barbarous alternative of imprison-
ing men for long terms of idleness,
which can not fail to result In wide
spread insanity aud a fearful death
rate. The great problem is to furnish
proper employment to convicts without
placing the product of their labor in
competition with free labor.

Governor was hurrying the States

A oABLEeRAM from London makes
much of the statement that business
property was recently sold in the
English metropolis ~at the rate of 81
100000 per acre" Chicago is only
half E century old, but the English
boast is dwarfed by recent transac-
tons in realty. The corner lot upon
which the Inter Ocean Building stands
cost 81, 500 per front foot. This would
mean at rate of 50, 157, 800 per acre.
This sale created so much of a stir
that Fred Leslie, the English come
dian, nightly sighed for "a scarf pin
mounted with lump of that corner
lot dirt" The northeast corner of
Clark and Washington, where the
Reaper Block stands, was recently
sold for 500 per square foot. and the
northwest corner of State and Madi-
son for $92. Both these sales would
mean over 1000, 900 per acre.

LONDON, September 1.-The board o.
trade returns show that the threatened con-
traction of British commerce has already
commenced. The decrease in exports Is
largely due to the falling OF in the tin plate
trade. Of n decrease OF 100000 pounds IN
textile exports 400, 900 pounds is IN cotton
goods exports to the east. Corn and flour
imports show decline in 1880, indicating

Whereas, The planters and spectators
above mentioned are firm in their demand
hat you pick at starvation wages. as offered
by them, and leave your families to suffer
fearful consequences, placing to your account
