THE STRIP WILL NOT Be OPENED

Congressman Mansur has been recog-
nized as perhaps the champion in the
house of the proposition to open the
! Cherokee strip to settlement, although
the bill introduced some months ago for
that purpose was referred to another
committee than the one he is chairman
of and the one he end many others be-
His friendliness for the measure was en-
phasized only few days ago by the
action Of Secretary Noble in requesting
him to present his rejoinder to Jerry
Simpsons attack upon him on the floor
of the house. There is no one, perhaps,
so well posted upon the strip question in
all its aspects and bearings as Mr.
Mansur, and if the bill had been given TO
his committee for consideration there
is little doubt that it would have
been promptly reported to the house and
pressed TO a conclusion so that the lands
could have been opened 10 settlement
this summer or fall.
1t seems, though, from the following
letter from Mr.. Mansar 70 a gentleman
at Arkansas City, which we find in the
Traveller of "Wednesday evening, that
there is now little or no probability that
the strip bill viii be acted upon by the
present congress. and we give it for the
information of the thousands of patient
walters for permission TO enter upon the
strip and secure homes, that they may
plan their fall and winter campaign so
as TO save themselves Inconvenience and
suffering Is far as possible. Here is Mr..
MansuF's letter:

Having gotten all that he wants he now
favors law making it a criminal bust

enough to overlook such little matters

fields in Finney and adjoining counties.
He says:

suffering; indeed the crop was never in
finer condition at this time of year."
Continuing, Judge Gregory said

known in western Kansas. Some of our
wheat fields yield as high as 4S bushels
to the acre"

According to the latest third party

Mr.. Howells' New Work.

The announcement that Mr.. Howells
will leave HGrper'S Magazine to take
editorial charge of the Cosmopolitan on
March LIST, calls attention to the pro-
cess of building up the staff of a great
magazine. Probably in no monthly
has the evolution been so distinctly
under the eye of the public as in the
case of the Cosmopolitan. The first
step, after It's editorial control was as
sumed by Mr.. John Brisben Walker.
was to add to it Edward Everett Hale,
who took charge of a department called
Social Problems" subjects concerning
which the greatest number of people
are thinking to-day. Mr.. Hale, who
is student, fair minded man. thor
ough American and a man of broad
sympathies, has filled this position in a
way to attract the attention, not only
of this country, but of leading Euro
pean journals. Some months later a
department was established, called
THE Review of Current Events" To
take charge of this a man was needed
who should be familiar not only with
the great events of the past thirty
years, but who knew personally the
leading men of the United States and
Europe who could interpret motives
and policies. Murat Halstead accept
ed this position with the distinct under
standing that his monthly review
should be philosophical and never
partizan. The next step in the his
tory of the Cosmopolitan was the plac-
ing of the review of the intellectual
movement of the month in the hands
of Mr.. Brander Matthews, who for
some time has been recognized as one
of the two or three ablest critics in the
United States.
Finally came the acceptance of the
editOrship cenjointly with Mr.. Walker,
by Mr.. William Dean HOwells, who is
recognized universally as the foremost
American of letters, upon the expira-
ton of his contract with Harper Broth
ers, on the first of March will take in
hand the destinles of magazine which
promises to exercise a share of influ-
ence with the reading classes of the
United States. His entire services
will be given to the Cosmopolitan, and
everything he writes will appear in
that magazine during the continuance
of his editorship.

New Year Reflections.

When a man is too lazy to walk
around a mud hole, he should not be
commended for bravery in walking
through it.
If you wish to scald your husband,
or wife, as the case may be, procure
cold water and heat it before using.
Correct speech is correlated to right
conduct and clearly living, and to
neglect it is to foster a slOuchy and
dangerous habit.
The ravens of Providence come when
least expected, and are not addicted to
the habit of encouraging laziness.
To brood over the past is to misspend
the present and to jeOpardize the
future.
Unlucky is the man whose bread is
buttered on both sides.
Beware of excessive concealment
that provokes malicious guessing.
Vulgar wealth is a repellent thing,
but it is entitled to the forbearance, at
least, of vulgar poverty.
Imagination and memory seems to
conspire against some people by swap
ping functions at critical junctures.
There may not be personal devil
but could an iinpersonal devil carry
out successfully such enormous con-

Housekeeper's Hints.

Holding onions under water while
preparing them saves your eyes.
The kitchen table can best be
cleansed by rubbing lemon over its
surface.
A leg of mutton should be boiled
10 minutes to the pound.
Raisins can be stoned easily if first
scalded with water.
Wash jelly bags in hot water-use
no soap.
Turpentine will Danish carpet
worms.
Coffee and tea pots should be boiled
out occasionally. Put some soap in
the water
The dust rag should be dampened
slightly.
Never put food away on tin plate.
To clean knives, use a potato dipped
in brick dust.

CENT.
The total number of failures the past
year was 1884. The total liabilities
aggregated Sl93, 178,OOO, while the
total actual assets reached SlO2 1913.
OOO There were 1868 failures i'm
1890, with liabilities aggregating STA
999 900 and actual assets, 500. ISL 600
Bradstreet's, in an article on "Mer.
camille Failures in 1891 ," saws:
When it is learned that the total
number of failures in 1891 is fully is
per cent larger than in 1890, it must be
remembered that in the wear last
named the aggregate of mercantile
failures actually decreased 6 per cent
as compared with 1889
WHAT THE GAIN REALLY MEANS.
In two preceding years, failures had
been increasing at the rate OF about
10 per cent. One year they declined
as compared with 1889, 9 per cent, and
last year the apparent extraordinary
gain merely represented about the
usual commercial death rate spread
over more extended period of time.
TIDED OVER FROM 1890 TO 1891.
1t would almost seem as if the ex-
ceptionally favorable ten months
business in 1890, from January 1st TO
October 3lst of that year, tended to
furnish results which enabled manv
traders to tide over the shoals of com
mercial disaster for the time being.

when the ebb-tide exposed the rocks
Of their own unsOundness.
Doubtless this result was intensified
by the monetary disturbances of No

continued well into last year.
These. the outcome of what is known
as the Earrings Panic" were followed
by the prolonged period of expectation

restriction of loans and discounts.
THE INCREASE NOT STARTLING.
In the light of all these influences
the Is per cent increase as compared
with 1890, is but about per cent as
contrasted with the total for 1889, and
is neither strange nor startling.
A HARD YEAR ON THE BANKS.
The total number of failures in the
United States in 1891, at which the ag-
gregate of liabilities were equal to or
in excess of $1,000 was 284 as com
pared with 1874 in 1890. Prominent
again within the past twelve months
have been failures of banks, bankers
and of those known as bankers and
