Want Another Cromwell.

As result of the defeat of the home rule
bill in the House Of Lords, the Radical news
papers generally call for the abolition Of the
House of Lords.

duty of every Democrat TO prepare to slay the
Lords. Let US abandon talk and do some
thing. Strike, Gladstone, and the people
will hail YOU as another Cromwell"

smokln. out " sooners."

Prairie fires have been set In the Cherokee
Strip by the United States troops who are
charged with keeping the strip free of intrud-
ing soonerB." Many soOners had succeed ed
In hiding In clumps of bushes and in hollows
in the prairie, and 1t was for the purpose Of
d!slodging them that the fires were started.
The result of these fires was the capture by
names, places Of residence, ETC., were taken
for the information Of the officers in charge
of the registering booths When these per-
sons apply for certificates of registry they Will
find that their names arc on the blacklist and
that they cannot get certificates, without
which they cannot file on claim.
The registering booths are about completed
and will be open for business September IL.
Between that date aud the day Of opening 1t
certificates at these booths declaring their In
tentions to claim a homestead In the Strip
and to become settlers.
The opening of two more Indian reserva-
tions Is under consideration at the Interior
department The conditions of the opening,
as at present contemplated, arc practically
the same as those under which the Cherokee
Strip will be opened. The opening of the
Kickapoo reservation, in Indian Territory,
has already been decided upon and allotments
are now being made. The president 10 ex-
pected to issue In short time the proclama-
lion opening this land 10 settlement.
The next reservation to be opened, IL 10 be-
lieved, Is the Uncomphagre and Uintah Ute 10
abundant, while each comprises rich farming
land. The Colville reservation In Washing
ton state will probably be opened to settle
ment early next year. This reservation con-
tains about 3, 900, 900 acres about half the size
of the Cherokee outlet.

c. s. Faurot, in charge Of Colorado's agri-
cultural display at the worlds fair. says Of
our fruits on show there: mesa, Delta,
Montrosc, Fremont, Boulder, Jefferson and
Larimer counties furnish the fruit which is at
the Chicago exhibition. So far as form and
color of the apples are concerned, they are
superior fruit. Many people think they are
wax. The Maiden Blush and the Wealthy are
particularly fine specimens. Fifty varieties Of
pears are represented, thrty-fvs varieties Of
plums. forty-lve varieties OF peaches and fifty
varieties Of grapes. Some Of the Ben Davis
apples of 1892 are there and look well. Mesa

Mr.. Paynter of Kentucky made report per-
mitting Representative Belknap of the Fifth
Michigan district to make a contest for the
seat held by Mr.. Richardson and giving him
sixty days In which to take testimony.
The House then adjourned until Monday to
await the report of the committee on account,
assigning clerks to committees. Until provis-
Ion for clerks is made, the committees of the
House arc unable to proceed with their work.
Mr.. Vest says that he will not vote for re-
peal, but that he will not flibuster against
the bill.
The first thing that the Democrats In the
House will do, will be to pass bill repeating
the laws providing for supcrv isors of federal

The silver senators arc now In the midst of
the struggle, no stone will be left unturned
and the debate will be continuous and c4-
haustive. The men from the West have said
the Sherman law had nothing to do with the
existing depression, and that statement is
supported by the fact that business is pick
ing up and trade is reviving. The great fear
of the administration is that business Will
have thoroughly recovered from the blow the
bankers have dealt 1t, before they can get the
bill repealed, and that their only argument,
fal-c and Illogical MS It IL, will fall to :he
ground, its only prop having been knocked
from under It.

Will nut saying as the special cdi-
ton, recently issued, eloquently
atteS q. Read it and see what it

sensational in journalism and pre-
sents the news of the day to its
readers in the cleauest and most
desirable manner possible. Super
Tor in its excellence, yet it seeks to

porary that goes to its exchange
table. Pure, popular, progressive,

. points f. q boom in
.lslness and real estate in Sinner
this fall Never since Sinner was
first built has there been so much
lumber sold 70 farmers as is bsing
sold now, and there will b. more
building done this year than ever
before. When business is good
with the farmers, business will be
good with the Sinner merchants.
As result Of what the GAZETTE
has already said, inquiries are be-
ing made from the eastern states
regarding property in Sinner, and
the probabilities are that there will
soon be 4 great activity in real
estate matters in this town.
