THE CHURCH APpLAUDED BLAINE.

After the Rev. DR.. J. d. Fulton had
finished his sermon last Sunday, in Gin
cinnati-the one wherein the mention of
Mr.. Blaine's name was so warmly ap-
plauded-he closed the services with a
prayer, of which the following was the
opening paragraph: 'Dear Lord, if we
have said anything which we should
have left unsaid please forgive us. If
we have said anything worthy Of hook
ing OF to, please hook on to IL
The Inference here is that doubt is
implied by the minister as to just what
kind of divine reception would be tend
cred his political bias. But neverthe-
less, it is not a customary thing to invite
deity to shook on" to worldly precepts
or wisdom. There should, however, be
no doubt in the mind of the preacher as
to the propriety of his mention of Blaine.
1t behooves the church, even at this time
of taut democracy and intense PARTISAN
ship, to recognize our great men as they
recognize the state and society. and in
case of illness or danger to pray for
them. Even when the impurity Of poll
tics has been accepted and its fruits
thereby tacitly tainted, still the church
should recognize the state as moral
collaboration. They are both working
for the same morality if not in the same
morality. We ought to pray for our
great men.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.

The air ship swindle that was so sue
cessfully worked on Omaha and St. Joe
recently is taken by the Boston Herald
as a text Of warning to its readers against
being similarly done for. As for the
two places named that have been victim
lied, the warning is like locking the
barn door after the horse has been stolen.
and TO others it is loves labor lost, in
view of the penchant Americans have
for running after and paying their
money for humbugs.
However, we are coming TO a time
when air navigation is assuming a great
Importance, because of a not unreasona-
BILE hope that before long practical steps
viii be taken in the direction of solving
this great problem. But it may be said
that the inventor of a successful means
of sailing in the sir will not think of
gaining money by public exhibitions of
his Continuance.

ton of force, can sustain and propel

weight, can name for share in his in
vention almost any price he desires. FOR
such discovery would practically revo-
lutionize transportation. Under such
circumstances it can be readily seen that
an inventor would not go around collect
ing gate money for the purpose of show
ing off his invention to large number
of people.
Instead of this method, the greatest
secrecy would be practiced until the
contrivance-and we believe that some
thing of the kind is likely 10 come with
in the next few years-should have
been put into shape which would ad-
nit of its profitable utilization as sub
sntute for the railroad and the steam
boat.

INGALLS, NOT IN.

Ex-senator ingalls, avoided reporters
and received no visitors when he was in
Chicago. To all cards that were sent up
the reply the bell boy returned with was:
1.-The gentleman is not in" One visitor
more deslrious of seeing the Kansan sup
posed that the ex-senator really was in,
and waited two hours at the hotel.
During that time he sent up four cards,
and three times the bell boy returned
with the piece Of pasteboard with the in
formation, ''the gentleman is not in"
The fourth time the card was carried to
Mr.. ingalls, apartments it was accom-
panied on the silver salver with a tele-
gram for the distinguished guest. The
reply that came back was: 1.-The gentle
man is in to the telegram. but not to the
card" "Why could not Mr.. ingalls,
have said that before:" angrily exclaimed
the witness. "If | had known he had
been in all this time and did not wish
to see anybody | would not have wasted
all this time here. / call that shabby
treatment, and | intend to let Mr. ingalls,
know how feel about it," The gentle
man then wrote the following note on a
Grand Pacific letterhead, signing his
name and address to it: 81 think YOU
are an old liar" The note was carried
to Mr. Ingalls,, with instructions to wait
for reply. 1t was this: Tell the gen.
tleman / was not in" A Herald re-
porter claims to have captured Mr. In
gals attention for moment. Asked
when he was going away, he said, II
don't know" where are you going:p
Don't know. I'm looking for the
Itata.'" OF course these interviews are
fakes, and it is unnecessary to add that
Senator ingalls,, who has returned home,
denies them.

CHIcAGo,s BOOM BURsTEp.

About a year ago and for some time
subsequent to the location of the worlds
fair at Chicago, speculative craze pre-
vailed there, and prices of real estate
were run up to ridiculous altitude.
But this craze soon run its course and
now numbers of adventures who rushed
in there and invested what cash they
had, which in many cases amounted to
nothing more than an option on the
property. are looking down their noses
as the time for another installment of
cash draws near and no means of secur-
ing it in sight. The Chicago Tribune
tells the story in this short paragraph:
'The market continues quiet. There
are no signs of the boom this year in real
estate that was so confidently looked for
earlier in the season. 1t has now become
an old story to say that the market is
dull and is lacking in the snap and vigor
that characterized transactions a year
ago. 1t has grown to be so old a story
that agents have ceased to apologize for
it, and are no longer racking their brains
for fresh excuses to account for each par
ticular week of dullness."
Nevertheless, there is yet large sums
of money pouring into Chicago for in
vestment, from the east and other sec
tions of this country, and from abroad
as well, attracted there by the same in
spiration that impelled those already
there and stuck; but prices are still held
SO far above real values and beyond the
reach of speculative possibilities that lit
tie of the capital that has latterly found
its way there has passed out of the
hands Of the owners and agents.
This money will not remain there idle
very long; it will seek other localities,
and being on the market, so to speak, is
subject to market infiuen ces; that is to
say, it may be attracted to other points
by proper representation of opportunities
for safe and profitable invest
ments. In this last respect
Wichita would prove the most
point in the country. 1t
is conceded by everyone in position to
know and who is posted on property val
ues that this city offers the strongest sub
stantlal inducements to investors of any
city in the country. And if these facts
were carried and properly presented to
those people there is little doubt that
some of them at least would be attracted
this way to the mutual advantage of all

which took most of the poetry out of camp
life. The constant rains bad brought
Deep Fork away out of its banks and over
the valley and near the agency it was g
mile wide.
The high water, the ghost dance and the
payments have interferred with allotments
to such an extent that little has been ac-
complished for two or three weeks. Aside
from these drawbacks the agents have
been making progress and had just hall
the allotmeDts made three weeks ago. Mrs.
Walker saws that the educated haifbreeds
are selecting magnificent farms but the
more ignorant full bloods are choosing
their land mainly for the hunting, taking
timber land in every case. some of it being

THE FIRST GRADUATES.

Bright and early with this weeks be-
ginning comes the announcement from
Oklahoma that a class has just been
graduated at Edmond. Outside of the
mere program, or the Wanting subjects.
or the written wisdom, there is some
thing In the mere announcement that
speaks volumes and promises whole Ii
brairies. We have essays on Sources
of Pleasure" Power of Women,
yesterday" "Above the Clouds" and
some half-dozen other ambitious reach
ings after literary fire and strength.
But it is not the essays or the graduates
that fill the cup of satisfaction to the
brim.
In word it shows the trend Of the
new territory. A land of two years-a
society of a single year turning out ed
ucAted men and women. The early
school houses dot the knobs and nestle
in the valleys of Oklahoma. In her ed
vocational advantages lies Oklahoma's
strength.
Formerly the pioneer had the Drawn
of muscle alone. Now ne sees to the
Drawn of brain as well. 1t is unprece-
dented, this commencement exercise in a
country SO new, that the sweet girl
graduate comes out of lowl Y shack,
and the young orator leaves the plow to
word his flights of intellect. But it is as
pleasant as unusual, and lays open the
broad path of Oklahoma's future course
to the public eye-a fact not without
value to the immigration idea. This was
the first commencement" in the terri
tory. The little town of Edmond, which
sets the style, is the home of the late

no reverence too high for "Iearning.n

IT is denied for the Russian govern

1t is denied for the Russian govern
ment that it is forcibly exiting Jewish
subjects, but that the departure of large
number of Jews from that country is
simply matter of choice with them be-
tween complying with the terms of the
law or leaving the country. The re-
quirements of the law, however, are
tantamount to Punishment, inasmuch as
it isolates ali Jews from the balance of
the people and colonies them in a sec
ton of the country reserved exclusively
for them. This restriction placed upon
their freedom of action is equivalent to
Involuntary servitude, and rather than
submit to it the Jews are seeking places
of residence elsewhere. And nobody
blames them,

taken at the State University the past
month was the coolest May in our "a

were two harmless white frosts on the

nearly $4,000, 900, and gifts of Bibles

Every eighteen cents expended by the

out 100000 Bibles, printed in twenty
seven languages.

severe here than in any other state.

Editor Rosewater, of the Omaha Bee.
Is off for tour of Europe. Before start

an epistle TO the Republican party of
Nebraska in the form of an editorial

future which was identical with that
contained in Senator ingalls, recent brief
