A WAY TO MOVE CONGRESS.

There is no reason why the Cherokee
strip treaty should not he ratified at this
session of congress. There are one or
two trivial matters that will meet with
moments debate, but these can be
quickly adjusted.
The treaty lies quietly gathering dust
in pigeon hole of the house commit
tee, and this without justification. No
important interest will suffer by the
ratification of this treaty and in fact
none of the many interests it will affect
are opposing it, with the exception of
Jerry Simpson who harbors the very
ridiculous fear that the opening of the
Cherokee strip would decimate his party
in Southern Kansas.
But even Simpson is secret in his op-
position to it and dare not openly
fight it.
Then if there is no opposition to this
treaty, why is it not ratified? The
answer is that the fault lies in mere in
action. Congress from sheer dilatori-
ness has failed to push the matter
This isa common fate for local matters
in the national Legislature. There is no
opposition, but the opposition of neglect,
which is often deadly.
Realizing this state of affairs, Okla
homa can just at this moment facilitate
matters by systematic effort on con-
gress. Oklahoma's cosmopolitan char
acter is widely known. Representatives
of every state in the union are among
its settlers. Now if every man will
write to at least one congressman whom
he knows or in whose district he has
formerly lived, urging that the treaty
be ratified, pressure will be brought
which cannot be without good result
\ thousand or so letters sent in upon
Congress will rescue the treaty from the
obscure pigeon hole, put it before Con-
gress and by fall that great body of fine
lands will be ready for the opening
proclamation. Congress is not malicious
in the matter-merely inactive.

A DARWINIAN EXPERIMENT tx
PLODED.

Professor Shiddell of Lexington. XIV.
has been making some curious expert
ments with mice of vivisectional ma
ture. Like the farmers wife in the bal
lad of the Three Blind Mice, he cut off
their tales with carving knife-not in
the mere nconsequential spirit of the
dirty, but with the definite scientific OBJ
iect of testing the Darwinian theory
that like produces like In tine course OF
ten generations he had succeeded in
eliminating the caudal appendage for
good. as he thought; but his tests were
continued and at the end Of the ninety
sixth generation IA generation with mice
is shorter than with mem the tails re-
sumed their sprouting. just as they had
done eight years before.
The moral of the Shiddell tests would
clearly seem TO be that nature is supreme
in controlling the laws Of reproductions
and while ART with her special pleadings,
may modify them for little while, the
higher law Will speedily Teassert itself.

The tusionites of the Alliance are

that great part of the Alliance will OBJ

uncertain tones. The rank and file of

principle may be. The Alliance holds

From the Wichita Daily Beacon
The Hutchinson News occasionally hits
the Missouri pool squarely between the
ewes. Referring To the claim that the
present railroad rates are in the interest
OF consumers, the News SAYS: How
would it do for the Missouri river papers,
that have suddenly developed so much
regard for the retailers of interior Kan
sas, to spend little of their zeal in the
interest of their home retailers. Why
don't they go before the interstate com
missioners and demand the same rate on
a half car lead lots OF sugar from New
Orleans that is given on car load lots:
Why don't the st. Joseph and Kansas
City papers demand local rate from
St. Louis commensurate with the
through rate: The species Of demagogy
of which these Missouri river papers are
guilty is entirely too thin to deceive the
people of central and western Kansas

The Democratic Atchison Patriot OBJ
serves that "the Farmers Alliance and
Democrats need not take lantern to
find candidate for governor; that W.
A. Harris of Leavenworth county ought
to be satisfactory to both. What the
coalitiouists need is d man who cannot
be bought. Harris is that man." A
nice boost for Mr.. Harris, that; but
what's the matter with General Ives: Is
Ives for sale? And, then, there's George
Click: has he lost his reputation for
honesty and integrity since he ''Joined
in" with the Alliance? Farmer Harris is
no better Democrat than either of the
others, and Democratic record seems
the necessary qualification for fusion
candidate this year.

The biggest victory that has been
achieved for the Cleveland interest so
far was the result of the local election
in Albany, n. y. The significance does
not lie in the success of the Democratic
ticket as that the ticket was headed and
the fight led by young Manning, an
ardent Cleveland champion. The cir
cumstance that D. B. Hill has spent a
good deal of time recently in the city
adds to the significance of the election.

MY FRIEND.

One friend have. one loving friend;
Caressing, tender, kind;
One sweetheart friend. so thrills, so fills
My heart, my soul, my mind.
In childhood's happy hours did toss
My tangled curls in play;
When sick and sad, gentle touch
Upon My forehead lay.
When storms of wild emotion rage
Within my troubled breast;
With magic, calm, resistless power
Soothes me to sleep and rest
Sweet fairy tales from odorous wood.
Love songs from DER the sea;
Rose-sented messages, my love,
My sweetheart brings to me-
No vows of constancy and faith
To me. my lover bind;
So bold and free, yet true to me,
My own loved, summer wind.
