in the neighbarhood OF Enid. 4 he
names OF the prisoners are as follows:

were arraiguod before Commissioner

were brought to the federal Jail in

1t seems that these men composed a
gang organized for purposes of intimi-
dating settlers, in order to secure good
claims. Two settlers were "whitc-

were stripped of their clothing and
lashcd with switches. The country
Surrounding Enid is in a high state Of
excitement over the outrages and after
considerable work the ringleaders
were run down. The action is brought

culprits will doubtless suffer severe

KEEP 1T THERE.

The council last night did the next
best thing possible with the ordinance
providing for changing the names of
the streets, it shelved the document
which, it ia likely, will at last find 4
permanent resting place ION the table"
The measure wasa cumbrOus one and,
regarded as the result of intent to serve
the public, it most be considered an
abortion. Only two excuses were Of
fered for it. One was a misdirected
notion about progress and the other
was the alleged mental incapacity Of
Phenicians to spell, read and remem-
Der the existing names of the streets.
We say there were two excuses Of
fered for changing the names of the
north and south streets, but we do not
say there was single one for the awk-
ward means proposed last night for
doing it.
Under the proposed system IL would
not necesstate an active memory or
any particular photographed skill. 1t
would require, however, Il knowledge OF
the art Of .penmanship and plenty Of
time to practice it whenever one would
desire 20 describe any particular local
ity within the city limits. For in
stance, man living now at the north
east corner of Cortez and Jefferson
streets, if the ordinance had passed
would this morning be hopelessly
hounderlng about the northeast corner
OF West Jefferson and Southwest Second
streets.
The Phoenix council is composed of a
body OF men who without a great deal
OF red tape, attend to municipal BUSH
ness in much the same way they trans
act their own business. and it is there
fore usually well done. Hence we are
inclined to believe that the postpone
ment of action on this measure was
only polite move to let the reform
ers" and "systematizers" down easy,
and that the ordinance is now practi-
caly consigned to the pigeon hole,
where are kept on file plans and speci-
fcations for building flying machines
and other impractical things. Requi-
al in pace.

What the advocates OF good roads propose is
a comprehensive exhibit Of all that is known
OF scientific road building, which viii serve as
a school Of instruction to the thousands OF
Americans who will visit the fair. They will
give sample sections OF the best road construc-
ton In this country and In Europe. They will
have skilled wOrkmen actually engaged in con-
structing sections of the various kinds Of
roads, the most expensive and the cheapest as
well, and will have competent engineers and
chemists in attendance to explain the process
Of building the roads, constructing artificial
stone and preparing cements. All machinery
used in the work and the various kinds Of
material will be seen In daily practical opera

The London Financial News predicts
p boom in American railway securities.
This will be cheerful as at least n basis
of hope to those mistaken souls who
bought certain railway stocks on specu-
lation six years or so ago, with the con-
fdent expectation in their own minds
that in six months these said stocks
would rise and net the buyers 10 per
cent. when they sold them again. Those
buyers have in some cases held to the
stocks to this day, seeing them go down
peg by peg till both hope and stocks are
nearly at zero. The London paper bases
its prophecy on the tremendous activity
in freight and passenger transportation
during the Worlds fair.

The Knights of Labor will establish
an employment bureau of their own,
which is an excellent move. They have
put it on record in their platform that
they desire the adoption of the Swiss
referendum in this country. In Switzer-
land, whenever a sufficient number of
citizens demand that any legislative
measure shall be referred to the whole
people, instead of merely TO the parlia-
ment, for decision, it is so referred. 1t
would be well perhaps for some Of the
great organizations like the Knights Of
Labor to adopt the referendum in the
transaction of their own affairs. I'm
pOrtant measures might be placed be-
fore all members in good standing to
be rejected or adopted by the whole
body, instead of being merely settled by
a governing board or convention of dele
gates. Then we would see how the ref
erendum scheme works. The Knights
of Labor also want a graduated tax
placed by congress on both income and
inheritances. The tax on inheritances
is now imposed in Great Britain. ..Sny
intelligent persons in the United States
favor it.

earnings enough money TO sink millions
of francs in the copper syndicate and Il
hundred millions in that outrageous
swindle, the Panama canal scheme. NJ
Delahaye charges that $8CO,0OO of this
money went to buy up the influence Of
newspapers and senators and deputies
of France.
But in spite Of the corruption and dis
honesty of their politicians the brave
French people are true hearted, honest
patriots, and we must respect them and
sympathize with them while we con
denim in the strongest terms the villains
who have swindled them. Even these
enormous losses have failed to swamp
French economical management, how
ever. The people have saved in addition
enough money for the Bank of Paris to be
able to lend Spain S15 100000. 1t is to be
hoped the Spanish government will not
fall into bankruptcy, SO that these model
economists will lose on this investment
too.
But this is clear, a people who can
save money like that cannot be kept
down, no matter what happens. They
ought to acquaint themselves better with
countries outside Of their own land and
then they would be as successful in in
vesting as they are in saving money.
