TEE two Congressman Brecken-
ridge otthis State and Kentucky
are gaining notoriety to finish.
The one on account of voting for
Tho Wilson Bill, and the other be-
cause of his being the star actor in
one of the juciest scandles that has
ever been exposed among the up
per tens. They are both dead ducks
so far as public confidence is con-
cerned.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1893.
OPENING OF THE STRIP.

From present indications it looks
as if the rush for the homes in the
Cherokee Strip will be greater
than that of Oklahoma three years
ago. On the opening day, Septem-
Der Is, the sun will rise and shine
out on vast. plain known as the
Cherokee outlet, but as the even
ing shades appear Oh the same day,
this same territory will be almost
as denseiy populated as any section
the same size in the United States.
In the course of five hours cities
Of from 1000 to 5000 inhabitants
will spring up and be transacting
business. Many thousand tempor-
ary max keshitts of houses have al
ready been made just ready to
throw together and GO to living
in.
There will be fine fun for those
who can find it convenient to be at
the Southern boundary of Kansas
on that auspicious day. They will
see sight that they will doubtless
never see again, as the Cherokee
Strip is about the last piece of land
that is worth anything for farming
that our venerable Uncle Samuel
has in his gift. We all know what
q grand scramble there always is
when something can be had for lit
tie or nothing. Thousands have
been waiting on the edge of the In
dian Territory for months, think
ing the day would be announced for
the oppening at the last sitting of
Congress. They hadn't enough
money to get away and they have
been there, many of them for near
ly a year suffering untold incon-
veniences. and depriyations. On
the Is Of fSeptember,th U.S.buglers
will blow the horn at intervals
along the sixty miles OF front, and
then the race will begin. We
would like to see the start.

THE WILSON BILL,

The following is the text of the
Wilson Bill W which has passed the
lower house of Congress, and
which will likely become law:
"Be it enacted, ETC., that so much
of the act approved July a.. 1890,
entitled an act directing the pur-
chase of silver bullion and issue of
treasury notes thereon, and for 9TH
er purposes, as directs the secre ta-
ry of the treasury to purchase from
time to time silver bullion to the
aggregate amount CT 100000
ounces, or so much thereof as may
be offered in each month at the
market price thereof, not exceeding
81 for 271 25-l00. grains of pure
silver, and to issue in payment for
such purchases treasury notes of
the United States be and the same
is hereby repealed; but this repeal
shall not impair, or otherwise effect,
The legal tender quality of standard
silver dollars heretofore coined
and the faith ard credit Of the Uni
ted States are hereby pledged to
maintan the parity Of the standard
gold and silver coins of the United
States at the. present legal ratio, or
such other ratio as may be establish
ed by law

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
He DID IT.

| Roone county's corn crop is not quite as good
as the darkey's was, but it certainly approaches
| as near it as it ever did. The darkey in telling
| his friend about the productiveness OF Arkansas
soil, said he had the best crop he ever ''seed;'
| that 'sthere wah seven ears of every
stalk and gourd full Of shelled corn on de tas-
sci. .''-BoOne Banner.
We respectfully refer the above item to the
Eureka springs Times-Echo for reply Broth
er Moore, can't you tell bigger one?-GREEN
FOREST TRIBUNE.
We understand that Bro. Russell
simply wants us to answer the
Boone Banners statement by re-
cording something Of the produc-
tlveness of Carroll county's soil, as
compared with that of Boone coun
ty. The insinuation that probably
we could tell a digger one" re-
fleets very greatly upon our verac-
ity and deeply wounds our feelings.
We see plainly that Bro. Russell
does not know us, and he has insin-
uated on another occasion that we
would tell an untruth on six
months credit rather than the
truth for cash, We want to make
a little statement about the grow
ing qualities of Carroll county soil,
but we are afraid that what Bro.
Russell has said will cause it to be
doubted. However, we are for
Carroll county first, last, and all
the time, and do not expect to al
low anything or any body to deter
us in our determination to tell OF
her wonders when an opportunity
offers. This has been no uncom-
mon year for farm products, yet
people who come here seem to
think so. The corn in this end of
the county will not average more
than five ears to the stalk, but then
they are SO large. The farmers
never think of taking anything but
wagon and a frame with high
standards in the field when they go
to gather corn. They just load it
on the wagon like they do wood.
And when it comes to potatoes,
Carroll county beats the world. A
sow and pigs got into farmers
patch near here about three weeks
ago, and they were never seen
again until day before yesterday
when they were found in the same
patch, just emerging from one OF
the potatoes. The SOW had eaten
into the potato and she and the pigs
had just concluded to remain there
as eating was SO handy. The pigs
were sucklings when they went IN,
but now they weigh 140 pounds
each. The farmer at first thought
the sow was 2-year-old bull that
belonged to one of his neighbors.-

MAYOR BOODY'S PURE JCRORS.

Mayor Body in his petuant reply to Mr..
Shcpard's structures upon Brooklyn misgOv-
Crnmcnt enlargCS upon the citN'S record for
morality and home virtues, and asserts that
"novhere ha, the bench been adorned by purer
jurors" We congratulate him upon the self
restraint which characterized this tribute 10
the judiciary of Brooklyn. lie was greatly ex
cited over what he considered malevolent
assault upon the virtue Of a wel-governed and
highly moral community, but he did not for
get himself. If he had not been careful to
locate the "pure jurors" upon the bench"
where they could be easily counted and sized
up, he might have embarrassed himself by his
pleading. Brooklyn has Jurors OF which it has
a right to be proud but they are not confined
10 the bench. They are also in Grand jury
rooms Nowhere are "purer jurors" 10 be
found than in Grand Jury service in Brook
lyn. Mayor Body. for reasons which may
readily be conjectured. did not desire to include
the public services of Grand Jurors in his
record of the home virtues and morality of
" grossly maIigned" city.
If we were to single ont any body OF public
servants that had been conspicuous for courage
and efficiency during Mayor Boodys admin
j.,ration it would be The Grand Jurors. They
have investigated every scandal Of which the
newspapers have borne record-and the Mayor
himself confesses that there is nowhere "a les,
sensational pres."-and they have not hest
tated 10 condemn disagreement and to censure
and indict evil-dOcrs. They went to the bot
tom of the Columbian celebration frauds, recon-
mcnded civil suits against the Mayor and other
authorities and indicted swarm OF Alder
men. Supervisors. officials and contractors.
Then they directed their attention to the

grants of railway franchises. and while they
were not allowed by the Dstrict-AttOrncy to
indct the Mayor and the Aldermen, they united
in a scathing prcscntment against every one
concerned in those disgfaceful proceedings.
Mayor Body does not refer 10 these evidences
of public spirit and rcformatory zeal o.. the
part of the Jurors who are not on the bench
vet are where they can discharge their
duties as the cen,oT> 81 municipal evIl-doeis
Throughout his administration he mas shown
significant lacl, Of appreciation OF the services
and virtues Of these pure jurors FIRST and
last they have caused him considerable, trouble
They have made II necessary for Democratic
Legislature TO en1ct special measures IN con-
donation of illegal acts for which he wa, held
responsible. They have also driven him into
court to demand Of one OF his pure Jurors"
on the bench the disclosure OF the secret testi-
mony of the Grand Jury room-a proceeding
without precedent in the records OF American
courts of law.
1t would be unnatural to expect Mayor
Body after his unpleasant experiences with
Grand Jurors 20 do full justice to the motives
and work of this useful class OF public SER
wants. Mrs. Camp was magnanmNls GREAT
IRE. and could bear persecution and injustice
with an humble and thankful heart, but there
were limits TO her powers of endurance. There
were words spoken by Mrs. Prg which lambs
could not forgive nor worms forget" So too,
Nayor Boody cannot reconcile himself to the
presentments made against him from the Grand
Jury room. Many centuries ago" he re-
marks. there were men who smote their
breasts and gave thanks that they were not
rs other men, but they did not visit the sick
or feed the hungry or clothe the naked Such
men continue to exist. but do not believe that
they have been any more successful IN estab-
fishing good government than they have been
in eIeyating human character" Obviously
this reproof was not meant for the wicked
Shepard, who has been writing a dyspeptic
article about the Bridge entrance and Other
Brooklyn ideas, 1t was aimed over his head
at the meddlesome Grand Jurors who have
exposed abuses of municipal government and
refused to bind mp the wounds and fill the
stomachs OF Ring and Gang.

organized party action. The rcorganized hc-
publican party has its General Committee
which repre- ents faithfully and efficiently the
largely increased enrolled membership. The
Union League does not undertake to supersede
the party managers or to anticipate in any way
the normal actin OF primaries, nominating
conventions and the organized campaign
agenc o.. II has taken early action solely for the
purpose of directing public attention to the crit
ical state OF municipal affairs and to the
urgent necessity OF n union OF right thinking
and honest men, without reference ID party
lines in order that the redemption of the town
NAV be accomplished. In this sense this Is no
ordinary political manifesto. 1t is not addressed
TO Republicans nor aimed against Democracy.
1t is sober lucid and publc-spfrted appeal to
men of all parties to come to the rescue OF
misgovelned and disgracefully administered
town.
We congratulate the Union League upon the
admirable spirit and sobriety OF Judgment
which it has displayed in opening the canvass
for municipal reform. 1t has supplied plat
form for the Republican party which might
be adopted TO advantage without the erasilre
or modification Of a single line. The logic OF
the situation calls for tile nomination of high
minded Republican for Mayor-a man known
TO possess a high order of business ability and
executive force and with will of his own
but the party leaders and conventions in full
filling this requirement cannot do better than
10 follow the Union Leagues example in APP
pcaling for support in a bipartisan way to
all friends of municipal reform and to the main
body Of intelligent taxpayers.
