OKLAHOMA,s NEW BOOM.
The Attempt to Draw the Color Line
Against the Blacks,

Against the Blacks.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-It is worth
while to notice that the Presidents procla-
nation in regard to the Cherokee stripin
Oklahoma, after certain recitations, uses
the following language: "Then the resi-
due Of said tract OF country shall. as far
as said Sac and Fox nation is con-
cerned, become public lands OF the United
States. and under such restrictions as may
be imposed by law, be subject to white
settlement" The color line may be drawn
In Oklahoma, where there are now said to
De 5000 colored men waiting to get home
steads. The white men who want ali the
land obtatnable, are very hostile to negro
colonization, and il there is a chance to
deny the negroes a right to settle on the
new lands the points will be made.
INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED.
The Secretary of the Interior Tonight
issued the following instructions to the
registers aud receivers of the land Offices at
Guthrie and Oklahoma City, sending also a
copy to Gov. Steele of that territory. you
are instructed that the words white
settlement occurring in the Sac and
Fox agreement, and recited as such
in the proclamation of the President Of
Sept. Is, do not mean and are not to be
Construed 20 mean, to prohibit settlements
in that country to others than white men,
but to mean that any persons duly qualified
under the laws of the United States, without
regard to color, may make such settlement
There has been no question about this, aud
must be none now. Neither the constitu-
ton, ratifying acts authorizing homestead
settlements without distinction to all quail
fed under the existing laws, nor the agree
ment itself will permit an exclusive dis
tinction in favor of whites only. Those
Indians sold all their interests,
right, title end claim to the
United States and captious and uuconsti-
tutional constructions cannot now be as
serted. You will receive filings from all
duly qualified persons, without distinction
Of color OF other conditions than those ap-
plicable to other public lands, save ns to
the prices specified. The Pres dent concurs
in this construction Of the law and in these
Instructions"

CUTTING THE G0RDIAN KNOT.

When the companies that constructed the
Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads
conceived the idea of converting the Gov
eminent subsidies to their own personal
benefit they afforded ground for public in
dictment whenever the public, through It's
representatives, should see fit to press II.
The fact that the public does not lose sight
Of is that the projectors of the roads came
out ten or twenty times milllonaires, Whlle
the roads they constructed have been de-
clared unable TO pay the interest on the loan
the Government guaranteed low IL was
done people do not exactly know. How 1t
is that the proprietorS of a property should
become so very rich while the property Is
unable to pay interest on the capital in
vested is one Of the things the average man
cannot explain. But there Is nododgIng the
fact. The five men composing the Central
Pacific Railroad Company realized not less
than $780, coo from the undertaking.
Now there is no feeling in this country
against successful enterprises. We are glad
to see far-seeing, chance-taking men sue
coed. Whether they get one million or
twenty makes no difference, so that they
make it honestly.
Senator Mcconnell of Idaho has intro
duced bill designed to place in the hands
of the Government the subsidized roads that
have not been able to pay interest on the
bonds guaranteed by the Government The
bill provides for series of measures by
which the Government may take possession
Of the several properties. The preamble to
the bill bases its necessity on the ground
that there is strong probability that the
holders of the first mortgage bonds Will
fOrecloSe, leaving the Government without
security for the money it has advanced. 1t
will be admitted that the owners Of the
roads have to an extent forfeited the con-
fdence OF the public in their good faith. If
the enterprise had proved unsuccessful
there would not be twenty men in the
United States in favor of taking the prop
erty from them while they might choose to
retain it. But the enterprise has not proved
unsuccessful. II the roads are not able to
pay interest on their debt it is because
500, 100000, more or less, has in some way
been diverted from their treasures to the
personal accounts of the owners

PERTINENT INoUIRIEs.

Several of our contemporaries are discuss
ing the ways and means to make San Fran
cisco great and prosperous city, We as
sumo that the various views expressed are
put forth in good faith. When one journal
tells the public that the one thing needed is
a competing railroad. courtesy requires us to
believe that its conductors think they are
right. When another Journal assures the
public that free trade would make this the
second greatest city in the United States we
are again under an obligation to believe
that its conductors have reasoned them
selves into thai way of thinking. A COM.
peting railroad would naturally follow
considerable increase in population and
consequent increase in business. But it Is
not clear how two roads can do a given
amount of business less than either could
do more cheaply than one. In the long run
railroads must earn operating expenses and
interest on the m oney invested. If road
does not have more than half the business
it could attend to its rates would necessarily
be higher than if its business eaualed its
facilities There is q prevalent opn ion
that two or three roads would bring more
people to the State than one So long as
one is able to bring four times as many as
want to come or are able to come, it is not
easy to see how competing road will
largely increase the volume of immigration.
There is no ground for the assumption that
n competing road would put rates below the
cost of the work.
Free trade would build up foreign COM
merce at the expense of local manufactures.
The SlOO,OO0,O0O, more or less, of finished
goods which are now the annual output of
our manufacturing industries would to an
extent be replaced by goods made in foreign
countries. There would be more employ
ment on the sea but less on the land. We
should become, to a greater extent than we
now are, producers and exporters If raw
material and importers and consumers of
imported goods. In our opinion the pros
perity of the city can be most effectively
promoted by legislation to encourage invest
mentS in manufacturing enterprises. Steady
work for immigrants would do more to in
crease the volume of immigration than a
dozen competing railroads The latter will
come when railroad managers see a volume
of business that will bear division between
two or more roads, 1t is not land but
people that give railroads employment.
We want population, but at the same time
we do not want people to come faster than
work can be provided for them. OF course
percentage of all corners will secure land
and make Improvements which will in a
term of years become a competency But a
much larger number will for a time WORK
for wages. The fact that has deferred
people from coming to this coast is the lack
of large aud varied manufacturing indus
tries, which in Eastern cities hold out
reasonable assurance of employment. This
is the weak point to cover, which should be
kept in view when We reach out for imml-
grants.

FREE COINAGE.

The financiers of Walt street may as well
prepare themselves for a plunge. The
shock will not be so bad as the dread o f it.
L hey viii find out in a few months that the
country is not going to be ruined by too
much metallic money. An Initiation of the
currency in the form of paper promises to
pay IS attended with some danger. But an
addition to the country's stock of real
money is not in any way to be regarded
with apprehension. Some months ago the
House voted against free coinage. How if
Will vote on the Senate bill is a matter for
conjecture, but conjecturers should keep in
mind the marked change in public opinion
in favor of free coinage. The House, which
is usually more responsive than the Senate
to changes in public opinion, will hardly
venture to stand between the people and
measure that they seem to have set their
hearts upon. Free coinage will doubtless
cause a temporary disturbance Of values,
but in short time there is every reason to
believe that it will restore silver to its old
ratio TO gold
