The Review of Reviews for December
sustains with remarkable enterprise and
ability the great reputation this magazine
has won for timeiiness, exact pertinency
and wide range of interest. Among its al
most countless illustrations are groups in

governors of states. No other magazine
could possibly have secured and made such
illustrations and actually embodied them
in it's December number, for in many in
stances it was not definitely known until
the middle of November who were actually
elected "a governors. The EDITORS review
of the election and his discussion of the re-

THE Denver Times breaches a novel
sermon on some of the disadvantages Of
riches, apropos of the death of Jay
Gould. Mr.. Gould was q consumptive
and found immediate relief in the oil
mate of Colorado. He expressed a de-
sire to live in Denver, but his great
property interests in New York pre-
vented. The Times observes that had
Gould been a poor man he would prob
ably be alive and well, in Denver, to-
day. Very likely, yet we hardly look for
a rush of weak-lunged ~millionaires to
the Colorado health resort-not il they
have to leave their money behind them.
When it gets down to a proposition
whether you would rather be a live poor
man IN Denver, or a rich dead one in
New York. the alternative is hard to
choose.

THE constitution of the United States
declares in strong terms that "The right
of petition shall not be abridged" But
the constitution does not give people
the right to commit fraud in petitions,
and that is what some of the zealots who
favor closing the Worlds fair on Sun
day are doing. Mr.. Dunn, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Pioneer
Press, in a letter to hat journal says
that it has been discovered that more
people have signed Sunday closing petit
tions sent in from Ohio than there are
men, women and children in the state.
Some of the persons engaged in this
agitation should remember that besides
the injunction to "Remember the Sab
bath day TO keep it holy" there is an
other commandment which says "Thou
shalt not bear false Witness"

In nearly every state where the Aus
tralian ballot system has been adopted,
some amendments to the law have been
suggested by the experience of the re-
cent elections. In every state that does
not already have the party grouping sys-
TEN, a change to that plan is favored.
Objections are heard here and there, but
they do not eeem serious to lie. The in
teiligent voter who wishes to scratch his
ticket can do SO as readily if the candi-
dates are arranged by parties. The
great majority of voters, however, do
not care to scratch. They desire to vote
their party principles. More expeditions
voting and counting are results that
should be aimed at in legislation. We
believe the day is not distant when, by
an automatic electric arrangement,
every mans ballot will be counted as il
is marked, and the result made known
the moment the polls close.

THE foreign steamship companies say
that If the act restricting immigration

to double their rates on tirst-class pas

Of cutting down the travel to the

probably have an able lobby from Chi

agents of the steamship lines against

WHILE the cable reports have only

made a profound impression. He is a

SCENTS his arguments with telling force.
The only attempt that has thus far been
made to reply to him is the sheer that
he is interested in silver mines, a cheap
answer that does not meet the question,

A NEW COURT BILL.

A bill is now pending before tho
United States congress to provide
a more complete judiciary for the
Indian Territory, and for other
purposes. Mr. Perkins introduced
il in the senate; it was read twice
and referred to the committee on
judiciary. II changes the bound
airy Of the three divisions as they
now exist. 1t provides for three
judges, who shall sit as supreme
court once a year, at Muskogee.
Each Judge shall have a division,
and hold court in two places in his
division. The district court for
the FIRST division shall be at Mus
kogee and Vinita, the second divi-
sion at South McAlister and Atoka,
and the third at Ardmore and Pur-
cell. The bill provides for two
terms of court in each district per
year, at such times as the supreme
court may determine. 1t also re-
duces the quota of commissioners
from three to two for each division;
it also further provided for the ad-
Indication Of claims to citizenship
in any tribe in the Indian Terri
tory, and that all cases of this
character shall be commenced by
petition, which petition must be
referred to the nearest commits
sioner in the district.
Whatever may be the merits or
demerits of this bill it is well nigh
certain that it will not become a
law during the present congress.
OF course it will encounter the op-
position of members from Arkan-
sas and Texas, as it interieres with
the Fort Smith and Paris courts,
besides there are many other
things that will claim the atten-
ton of congress and take prece-
dence of this. Probably the most
important thing from now on will
be the election of a president.

THE COMING MAN.

! The most serious aspect of the
cattle trouble in Wyoming is the
fact that it is largely a fight be-
tween the cattlemen and farmers,
There has for years been more or
less bad feeling between these two
classes throughout all the range
country of the west, and each has
looked with a jealous eye on the
encroachments of the other. Every
acre of grass land plowed means
fewer cattle grazed. The settlers
have rapidly and surely crowded
their way into the very heart of all
the most extensive ranges and to-
day the vast plains of the west are
dotted with the farms of the set
tiers. The range cattlemen must
eventually give way to the farmer,
and the sooner he does so the
better it will be for the country.
No country can be uniformly
prosperous where its interests and
resources are confined to one
class of people. Every acre of
tillable land in the United States
should be made to produce some
thing more than wild grass, and at
no distant day the farmer will be
the sole occupant of the country
that now is only valuable for the
grazing of the great herds OF range
cattle. The prosperity OF any
country can be measured by the
number Of its farmers and when
every quarter section OF the thinly
settled sections Of the west is oc-
cupied by producer--a farmer
then, and not till then, will we
know what prosperity really is.
Further than that, the conversion
of the range into farms will bring
a greater number OF cattle and an
infinitely better class of them and
they will be produced for less than
range cattle; or really upon the
offal of the farm.
If the question of allotment of
lands in the Cherokee nation is
never solved in any other way 1T
will be settled finally and forever
when the whole country is occu-
pied by farmers. When the out
side grass is beginning to get short
then the country will no longer
be needed for grazing and all op-
position to an allotment of lands
will be withdrawn. AS a nation of
ranchmen our days are numbered
and instead Of the great stretches
Of wild grass land, soon will be
found the cozy farm house, the
shady lane, the bustling villisge,
the throbbing, restless city. All
these will come as surely as sum-
mer will follow the spring time and
as day will follow night, and no
amount Of sentimentalism will
change or stay, or stop, the rest
less tide of humanity that is scour-
ing the whole continent OF America
for homes.

Calling Check to the Pension At
torneys.


The enormous growth of the
pension list is not only a burden
to the taxpayers of this country
but of apprehension to the soldiers
who really deserve pension, and
who fear that their just claim will
be disparaged and their status as
pensioners degraded by the thous-
ands of fraudulent and unmeritor-
ious pensions secured by pension
attorneys for the sole purpose of
lining their own pockets. Our
pension list amounts to nearly one
third of the total of our annual ex-
penses, and is matter of amaze
ment to the governments of Eur
ope, being greater than the amount
required for two of the largest
standing armies in Europe. The
true soldiers do not demandit; in
deed the very best and bravest,
headed by the gallant Gen. Slo-
cum, protest against this pension
policy which places the deserving
and the undeserving on the same
plain, and causes the public to
feel an impatience of the whole
symptom. The trouble has been
to find a man in Congress of suffi-
cient courage to propose a remedy
and preserve the rights of those
who have genuine claim upon the
public gratitude. Mr.. Peel, of
Arkansas, appears as the man for
the emergency, and he strikes at
the root of the evil by taking the
profits from pension sharks, who
are at the bottom of this pension
legislation for their own gain and
regardless of the interests of the
true soldiers. s.-Exchanpe.

Now that congress is taking no.
tice of the citizenship question in
the Indian Territory, something
will eventually be done to settle
this, the greatest Of all questions
affecting the Indians. A court es-
tablished for the sole purpose Of
adjudicating this matter in each of
the five tribes would not be a bad
thing. The Indians of the Chero-
kee nation welcome anything that
is fair in the matter, and are long
ing for a final settlement Of mat
fers

The settlement of the intruder
question and their removal from
the country will be effected when
ever the Cherokee people decide
to allot their land; not before.
These two events must and will
come together, because they are
inseparable. Until this country is
allotted it will be full of intruders.
After it is allotted there will be
no intruders; there will be no in
ducement for them; their occupa-
tion will be gone.
