"They are right, and so long as they
maintain their present attitude and alb
stain from violence, they will have the
support and sympathy Of all citizens who
believe in fair play. The strikers are no
doubt encouraged in their determination
TO win by the conviction that the party III

GETTING EVEN WITH CLICK.

WASHINGTON May 23-The fight be-
tween the Democratic factions of Kansas
i growing in interest. \ man named
Thurstou has filed a document IN the
White House against Ex-Governor Click
and Colonel Jones, which, if true, ought
TO discredit them with the administration.
Il is understood that. through the influ-
ence of Alr. Whitney, Thurston was en-
ableu to get an Interview with Mr. Cleve-
land last Friday, and then presented. in
the form of statements sworn To by HIM
self and the clerk OF the state penitentiarv
serving at the time the offense occurred.

endeavored to exact OF the president in

dent asked him:

Thurston explained that Colonel Jones
had befrieuded him. and he desired to do
hmm no injury. The president thought
both men, If the statements were true
were equally guilty. Finally Mr.. Cleve-
land said:
Il Will not promise what will do. but

TIE CHEROKEE STRIP.


WASHINGTON, May 23.-Secrebary Hoke
Smith Of the interior department has
again announced that the Cherokee strip
will be opened 10 settlement September
-, unless unforeseen circumstances pn-
vent. As matters now stand, that day Is
fixed for the opening.
The interior department is still face to
face with half dozen knotty problems IN
connection with the event. Chief Of these
difficulties is the conflicting character Of
some of the provisions of the act OF March
3. 1893. After several sleeplesS nights
actually spent in endeavOrs to solve these
perpleXities Land Commissioner Lamor-
eux and Assistant Attorney General Han
of the interior department. have arrived
at some conclusions which are more or
less interesting. They have satisfied them
selves that there is nothing in the act
which renders the homestead laws inoper-
ative. II the intention OF the trainers or
the act was TO compel the secretary of the
interior TO formulate set OF new rules for
the occupation and settlemento of the strip,
with an eye to Mr.. Sprlngers lottery plan,
they overlooked several provisions TO
which the department Is competed to bow
submissively. The conseG u nee is that Il .
homestead laws viii Apply IA full force ia
the matter of the occupying OF the new
lands.
Another point which has been determin-
ed is that there is practically DO way of
preventing Il rush. The department Of
fetal are not inclined to admit this TACT
in SO many words, but it Is true, neverthe-
less. Secretary Smith some time ago de-
clared that the rushing tactics that marx
ed the occupation of the Oklahoma lands
would not be suffered in the matter OF
opening the Cherokee strip That theory
has been exploded, and in all probability
the people who want lands viii have to
race for them as in times past Ihe de-
partmeut officials say that the law Is
broad enough to enable them to throw
strong safeguards around settlers VINO
actually design to build homes Tor tnein-
selves, and to protect such persons from
others who 90 in for the mere purpose Oh
engaging in land speculation, but further
than that they do not feel inclined TO hold
themselves responsible.
The department has concluded to es-
tablish one land office only in the new
territory. 1t will be located at one of the
central points, and will probably not be III
operation until "A month later. neither
the idea is prompted by considerations OF
economy o" some aggressive no.Ion Oh
Secretary Smith is not known. The
scheme of not opening the land office until
thirty days after the strip has become the
property of the settlers Is SAID TO rest on
the idea that thirty days at least Will be
needed to bring order out OF chaos. The
policy then will be to divide the strip into
tiers of townships or other theoretical por-
tions. each of which will be given fixed
number of days to transact business with
the land office. This. too, is expected to
contribute to the more speedy adjustment
of claims and TO facilitate business gen
orally.

A pOPUuST MILLING SCHEME.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 23-The populists
think that they have hit upon scheme to
break up the flour trust in Kansas. At
torney General Little is the originator of
the plan. It is simply to declare all mills
public mills. OF course it would require an
act of the legislature to do this, and 1t
therefore cannot be accomplished until the
next session; but it is proposed to get the
question before the people for discussion,
so that it may be fully understood and in
corporated IN the next state platform.
There is already a law on the statute books
regulating public mills, but it applies only
TO mills which grind, or offer to grind, for
toll. lU is an arbitrary act, and Mr.. Little
holds that the same power tthe legislature)
which passed it may go farther and ue-
clare all mills public, giving farmers and
other individuals the right TO take their
grain to them and have it ground into
Hour, at rates TO be fixed by law. The ef-
feet would be to transfer the control OF
the -four market from the mill-owners to
the producers of grain, and, as 1t would be
III the hands Of 30 many individuals OF
limited capital, the price would, by the
natural law of supply and demand, come
down 10 a reasonable figure, the difference
between the value of the grain and the
value Of the flour being only the cost of
manufacture.
