WASHINGTON, April 28.---In the Senate

marked that, as the resolution involved
some $1,000 900, he would like TO SEQ

called and ftty-fve senator's, more than
quorum, responded.
ALLIsoN's OBJECTIONS.
Mr.. Allison then proce eded to present his
objections to the reso luton, which, he said,
would not only commit the Senate to rec
ommendation TO the President for the i'm
mediate payment Of nearly $1,000, 900, but
would also commit the Senate 70 the reason

antagonism to tue argu nent and presenta-

alton had been made In the closing hours of
the last COMPRESSION an amendment offered
to the Indian appropriation bill by Mr..
Jones OF Arkansas-without any recon-
mendation on the part Of the
committee on indian affairs in
either house. The pending res
olution involved really Sl0,000,000, be-
cause there lay behind it another like claim
amounting in round numbers to about

ought to be done was to recommit the

the close of the debate.
Messrs. Jones. Teller and Perkins opposed
Mr.. Allison's proposition and advocated the

THE GRIPS GRIP.

The grip still prevails throughout the
country and is proving more fatal than
the endemic of two years ago did. 1t
seems to be worse, both in the extent of
its ravages and its fatality, in Connecti-
cut than any other state. During the
month of December 80, GOO cases were re-
ported. A notable feature of the NAL
idy, which still prevails in that state
with almost undiminished severity, is
the great number of prominent, we'll
known and aged persons it has slain. In
almost every considerable town from
three to four to two score of influential
citizens have died of it, and as rule 1T
is fatal when it attacks person who is
60 or more years old. Another impor-
tant feature of the epidemic is the end
less business and social embarrassments
it has caused.
Unlike most maladies the grip has no
respect for persons or social station. At
Hartford so MANY house servants are
afflicted with the disease that hundreds
of well-to-do women have to do their
own homework and there are moi
enough maids to take the babies of the
fashionable quarter ont for their daily
airing. At New London the police force
has been reduced from twenty-seven to
four men on account of the epidemic,
and the police force of Hartford has been
reduced one-half.

AN OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURES.

A new governor having been appoint
ed for Oklahoma, some persons III that
| pushing young territory are suggesting
the immediate calling together of the
old legislature, or provision looking to
the election of a new legislature next
fall. Political activity is the life of the
American people, and it is commonly
almost reason TO suggest any doubt as
to political activity of any sort, and par
ticularly the converting Of the legislature
except when that doubt is expressed
after the legislature is convened. Legis-
latures have met in America quite fire.
quently, and there have been wars in
this world quite often. There has been
unusual enthusiasm at the beginning of
each, and at least as frequently a sense
Of relief when they are ended.
There is feeling apparently among
some of the less enthusiastic that the
calling of the Legislature might not
be wholly productive of good
If the legislature is convened
this year it will have the power, and
doubtless viii, make laws which will of
necessity be operative not only in the
country now settled, but also in the new
lands, which the friends of Oklahoma
hope will be settled by two hundred
thousand people during this year. The
new corners into these lands. it may be
supposed, will not be entirely gratified
to have the legislators of the present Ok
lahoma Of sixty thousand people making
the laws for them, and may suggest that
it would be only fair to allow them
must govern them.
1t would be perhaps a fair course to
have no legislature until such time as
the settlers in the new lands could be
represented IN the Legislature. After
a fair period had elapsed after settle
ment, the people could become &C
quainted with each other and select with
some discrimination the persons
they wish &c represent them in the legis-
lature. The experience in Oklahoma has
been that hasty action has not been con-
ducive to the best interests OF the terri
tory. and 1t Is apparent that rash or III
juaged selections of representatives may
naturally and should be expected to re-
suit in hasty and ill-judGed legislation
which may iniure the interests of the
territory for years. The next legisla-
ture for Oklahoma viii be one of very
great Importance TO that territory for
years 10 come and it is to be hoped our
young nelshbor viii adopt whatever
measures are necessary to most carefully
sift and choose the very best possible leg
isiative material before a legislature is
permitted to convene.

woman without a vote while the man
may live on the Iabors of his wife, and
exercise the sovereign power; but the
distinction would be accentuated if self
support is made qualification for one
sex with no application at all to the other.
1t might not make Mr.. Willcoxs prop

man who cannot truthfully swear that
he is supported by his own labor shall
lose his vote. But it would round out the
logic of his proposition. And since there

make his plan to complete than to leave
it incomplete

Although the monthly estimates of the
department are seldom If ever borne out
by the facts. they nevertheless affect the
markets. Advance information is there
fore of great value, and thrifty head of
the bureau of statistics could make for
tune III few years.-Kensas City Star.
The foregoing is the conclusion of an
editorial reference to Jerry Simpsons
resolution of inquiry. 1t contains an
unwarrrnted and unjust imputation
against the honorable secretary of agri-
cultures personal honesty and official
integrity. The monthly reports are
made up and given to the Associated
Pres for dissemination, that being the
quickest and least expensive way of con-
veying the information to the country.
Ii the boards of trade and market gam
blers receive and use the information to
their corporate and personal advantage
by influencing the markets before
the farmers and country dealers
can sget it, that is their good
fortune and misfortune respectively
ment or its chief. The same would be
the case if the monthly reports were sent
out through the mails direct to the
farmer and interior dealer to the exclu-
sion Of the market manipulators. 1t
would be impossible for the department
to prevent the latter from receiving the
information once it is given out, and to
attempt to do SO by the use of the mails
as above mentioned would be worse than
the use of the wires at present.

From the Leavenworth Times.
We publish elsewhere a new story of
the troubles III the southwest. 1t is tax
en- from the Wichita EAGLE and the
EAGLE vouches for the reliability of its
correspondent. From this it appears
that there was no intention of harming
Judge Botkin and that all this subse-
quent trouble might have been saved.
The assassins Of Sheriff Dunn, if this story
be true, were after him alone. The man
ner in which they singled him out from
ms deputies, and that they did not go TO
Botkin's house to get him, seems to cor
roborate the story. 1t is quite probable
that Botkin's conscience made a coward
of him, and led him to suppose that the
men who were only after Dunn were
seeking to avenge the death of Sam
Wood.

1T is NOT A POLITICAL MOVE.

The Kansas City Star prints its opinion,
and backs it by quoting railway officials,
10 the effect that the move of Mr.. Ady
to dissolve the Trans Missouri freight as
ISOLATION is purely a political one, insti-
gated by Attorney General Miller In the
in crest Of Harrison's administration,
citing the supposed fact that Mr.. Miller
ordered the suit brought. The Star and
the railroad officials whom it quotes will
find out in all good time that they are
on wrong scent if they really are as ig-
norant as they pretend. OF course be-
fore Mr.. Ady could institute the action
in the name of the United States, in the
circuit court, he had &c have the consent
of the attorney general, but that latter
official was as ignorant of Mr..
Ady's work as were the members
of the Transmissouri trust themselves up
to the time the papers constituting the
petition was submitted to him for his
approval. The suit came out of the
groanings of the business men Of the in
terror of Kansas over the determinations
against them in favor of the Missouri
river and of interior towns in Nebraska
and Minnesota, which complaints Mr..
Ady found to be well founded. as the
petition fully sets forth. Can the Star
explain on any other theory than that of
robbery why Lincoln, Neb., for instance,
should be given a lower rate from Gal
weston than Wichitas.
No, the move was not made in the in
terest of politics, but 1t will become a

creatures in Southwest Kansas are not
worth as much as that of one of the
Kansas National Guards called out u

that those young men, nearly every one
is engaged at indoors occupation, should
be compelled to leave their pleasant
homes and live in tents during tEi5 ex-
ceptionaHy cold weather in order to pre-
vent a lot of undesirable citizens from
killing each other. 1t would be far bet
ter and more economical, for the state,
to permit those fellows to fight it out
and thus rid the earth OF men unworthy
to live in civilized community. The
governor should send the boys home be-
fore they are all sent 10 the hospital.
