that the republicans had elected fourteen con

Gov. Mckinley, in the light Of later returns,
had corrected his estimates He had received

net republican gain of l,Sl7, or five 10

7O) in Cincinnati and 1000 in Cleveland the
ratio of gain outside Of these cities If NAM
tanned would give a net republican gam oi
about 9,000 Making allowance for decrease
of the ratio Of gain, the republican gains
throughout the state would more than counter
balance The losses in the cities and that the
republican plurality in Ohio would not be less
than 23lOJ and would probably reach nearly
1909.
Al soclock Tuesday morning the claims OF
the campaign chairman are widely apartChair'

justified in conccdinr republican presidential
minority Of more than 10000 or r.

OPEN THE STRIP

Land hunger is grand passion. The
rush of thousands to the Arapahoe and
Cheyenne lands to the south and the Sis
seton reservation in North Dakota in
the hope to procure for themselves free
homesteads emphasizes the growing
scarcity Of arabic public lands, not COB
bled up by the railroad companies, which
are open to settlement. 1t is a great pity
that in these mad scrambles the specu-
latorS who have money stand better
chance than intending settlers who are
poor.
Certain monopolies have dominated
the great Cherokee strip--the only re-
naming public domain worth speaking
of in the southwestern years. exclud-
ing by their Vaccinations and liberal
use of money the thousands of honest
settlers who hope some day to find
homes therein, and appropriating 10 the
individual benefit of the members of
such combines the immense profits ac-
cruiDg from such arbitrary control and
occupancy. The government at Wash
ington may not he directly responsible
for this condition of affairs but its SEEM
ing indecision and lack of energy in
bringing the long disputed question of
ownership and title to the lands TO a
final issue has caused a great many peo-
pie to entertain such ideas.
In the shape the matter is now in il
ought not 10 require more than a few
weeks TO bring it to a final elimination
in the opening the 6, 600, 900 acres of land
embodied in the strip TO settlement. The
appropriation of the something like
$4,000, 900 comprehended in the ratifica-
ton of the compact between the commits
sioners and the Indians need not be bar
TO the economistic majority in the pres
ent congress, because that amount will
not be required in cash-only the inter
est thereon, to be paid semi-annuaiIy.
which is small thing TO the govern
ment as compared to the great concern
TO so many people who will be made
contented and ere long prosperous citi-
zens. If it should be said there is no
need for hurry in the matter, the answer
is ready: there is no excuse for further
delay.

THE CRISIS IN ITALY.

Italy's ambitious attempts to figure as
a first-class military and political power
in Europe eliminated at last in min
isterial crisis on a question of So. O0O, 900
for new guns. As natural results OF
Italy's membership of tine Triple ALI
ance with Germany and Austrla-Hun-
gary her treasury is utterly bankrupt,
with no prospect but new accumulations
of deficits and new burdens of taxation.
But the sources of revenue have become
exhausted, and the impovished inhabl-
tants are fleeing By hundredsof thou
sands to other lands. Never were the
effects of bad government more manifest
than in the present condition OF tie
Italian people.
The only remedy is in disbanding the
armies and reducing taxation, and the
first step in that direction has already
been taken by the organization of new
cabinet on the basis of retrencbment In
army budget. As the Philadelphia
Record very aptiy remarks. war. no
matter from what quarter it may be
menaced, IS by no means so much to be
dreaded as the continuance of Il policy
that is reducing the Italians to beggary.

PRACTICAL INFRINGEMENT.

Congressman Doan of Ohio is credited
with an intention to launch a reform
and retrenchment, aiming at the mem
bers of congress themselves. 1t is bill
that will provide that members shall,
upon their arrival at the capital, present
tc the committee on mileage a certified
copy of their expenses in reaching the
capital, and this amount and no more
shall be allowed them as their mileage.
This congress" said Mr.. Doan, "has, in
a bill it has passed, reduced or sought to
reduce the price of sheep and has cut
the price of wool down II cents pound.
1t has also, by bill, sought to reduce
the cost of material for the cotton grow
ers of the south, and now | want it to
still further lessen the burdens of the
people by going step further and re-
moving from them the excessive charges
they collect in the way OF mileage. In
its anxiety for economy congress only
allows army officers cents mile for
transportation and l want it to be equally
as economical in their own case. IT,
cents is enough for an army officer it
ought to be for a member of congress,
who is also public servant 1t is time
for us to return that cents we do not
use and thus relieve a depleted treas
ury.'"
