Tho Oklnhoma Gerrymander.

GUTHRIE, Ok, Sept. 29.-The ap-
portionment board appointed by an
act of congress to redistrict the terri
tory into council and representative
districts completed their work yester-
day afternoon. They found the popu-
lation of the territory to be $4,000.
A close examination of the districts
and their boundaries shows that the
Democratic and Alliance members OF
the board outvoted the Republican
members and arranged the districts to
salt themselves, giving to their two
parties fully two-thirds of the district
by large majorities. The Republicans
are indignant, but cannot help them
selves.

ENGLAND AND AGRICULTURE
Views of Experts on the Depression In the
Wheat Market.

Wheat Market.
LONDON, Oct 3,.-The Times has
opened it's columns to letter contro-
versy on the depression in the wheat
market. NJ. j. Sutton, a noted agri-
culturalist, furnishes letter in which
he claims that if England makes a
step toward fair trade" agriculture,
as the largest English industry, ought
to be the first to be protected. He con-
tends that wheat growing in England
cannot pay the farmer without pro-
lection. Other writer's declare that
high rents are still the chief trouble.
A well known Radical politician, MIR.
Wren, contends that England is now
unsuitable to growing wheat and po-
tatoes, compared with more favored
countries. lie concludes his letter by
saving that farmers should have re-
course to dairy produce and fruit and
vegetable produce and drop the absurd
rivalry in wheat growing in which
England's petty area of 2, 25t, 900 acres
is unable to hold a place. He quotes
from the Times statement that Amer
lean wheat is of better quality anc
brings better'prices than English
