OKLAHOMA GREETING.
Oklahoma, our wonderfully precocio

Oklahoma, our wonderfully precocious
sister, will, bright and early, reach state
hood. Her development is phenomenal
but in no sense abnormal. States are
measured by the character of the people
who constitute them, and thus measured
Oklahoma promises great things. In
knowledge, in western push and zeal,
and in her faith begotten of pioneer ex-
perience there is only magnitude, in
tensity and fullness. The middling and
the mediocre, the conservative and
doubtful find no place in the affairs and
methods of her people, nor in the spirit
of her institutions Distinctive,y, neither
North nor South. but the best of both in
composition as in location, she is the
last and best, the survival Of the fittest.
Indian reservations, nomadic life and
the relics of savagery cannot long with
stand her aggressive ways nor exist
within even the shadow OF her brilliant
attitude. The waning power Of the
once self sufficient cattle trusts,
which yet maintain a foothold in the
Kiowa, Comanche and Wichita reserva-,
tons, in spite Of The findings and agree
nents of a duly authorized commission,
will be broken in the very near future,
which will add still another three mill.
ion acre domain of homesteads to her
borders. The four C's, tbs Chickasaws,
Choctaws, Creeks and Cheyokees, to-
gether with their dependencies, must
then also soon accept the inevitable. In
her admission as state there will be
added to the maligned and neglected
Tyansmissouri communities another
great and powerful commonwealth, OF
mutual industrial commercial and po-
litical interests, with summer markets
at the northern lakes, and winter outlets
through the Gulf ports, and added voices
in the halls of the national congress.
May the sun continue 10 shine and the
rains 10 fall for our fair sister; her peo-
pie will do the rest.

When 1T comes TO a county clerk, we
doubt very much if the state of Kansas
can show an official equal in all respects
to NJ. A. Carvin, the present clerk of
Sedgwick county, the Republican nomi-
nee for election. There is not Populst
or Democrat in the county who doubts
this. They all respect him, ard conf
dence in his ability and integrity is as
great among the opposition as among
the Republicans. Can there lie single
reason advanced why such q man
shouldn't be overwhelmingly reelected:
We think not.

The report that a colony Of Menonltes

POPULIST EXTREMITY.
From the Topeka Democrat.

From the Topeka Democrat.
The PopuIists are getting alarmed, nd
with good reason, over the political sit
uation in Kansas. They see plainly the
unwelcome shadow OF defeat hanging
over the November elections. They see
that the Democratic vote, that swelled
their victory in 1892, IS alienated, per.
haps lost forever. They see also that
there is an anti-administration party in
the Populist ranks in well nigh every
county in Kansas. No wonder is it that
the Populist leaders are alarmed, and
that the spectacle is witnessed in the re-
form @ party of well nigh every state
official away from duty out on the
stump. 1t is no wonder that Hon. jerry
Simpson has been sent for in hot haste
to take the stump; that the Illinois Pop
ulist orator, Taubeneck, has been en-
ployed to make series of speeches in
Kansas, etc. 1t is undeniably the hour
of Populist extremity in the state.

OF VAST PROPORTIONS

The question of making productive a
tract Of land equal to six states as large
as Kansas is fraught with interest to
every thinking man in this country,
This large body of land has the adyant-
age of soil unexcelled for depth and
richness and rainfall that only lacks a
little of being enough to make farming
profitable. So far as the Arkansas valley
Is concerned it has been demonstrated
that there Is an ineXhaustible underfiow
of water. And no matter what the re.
suit OF the irrigation movement it is
now conceded that where pumping is
practica! that it will he resorted TO.
Pumping must necessarily be largely an
individual enterprise. There is not a
quarter-section il the Arkansas valley
| that could not proftably use windmill
pump and where practical have an earth
reservoir, and where it is net tanks.
Fruit trees and garden track need nearly
every year, just such assistance as could
be given by the pumping system of irri-
CATION. Invitations have been extended
to all pump manufacturers to make an
exhibit and test at the convention to be
held at Wichita on the 22nd of Noyem-
Der. The average man takes but little
interest in irrigation until he has investi-
gated 1t, and then ne becomes an enthu-
siast. Kansas had "a fine representation
at the congress held st Los Angeles on
the l4th of October, and was honored bv
having one of her delegation made presi-
dent OF the meeting. The farmers o.
Kansas should take al interest in the
matter, so should the business men and
all who wish the state well.

IRRIG ALTON PUMPS AND MACHINERY

One of the interesting features TO be
added to the irrigation convention soon
to be held in this city is a practical test
10 be made of irrigation machinery and
appliances, which is to be done near the
city on the, Little Arkansas. This will
give manufacturers Of pumps and pump
ing machinery an opportunity to show
by a practical test just what they can
do. The same with motive power or
manufactures of engines and wind
mills, who will be given like oppor-
tunity to show what they can do, max
ing it one of the most interesting feat
ures of the convention. and one that is
calculated to draw many people to the
city who otherwise would not care to
come. A full day will be devoted for
testing and fully exhibiting such ma
chinery.

The confirmation of Van Allen as min
lister to Italy proves that Cleveland has
not lost his cinch on his party in the
senate. IL likewise gives ground for the
suspicion that the administration has
been running blind on the public in its
demand for the repeal of the Sherman
law. This suspicion is strengthened BY
the announced probability of a COM
promise OF an agreement TO continue the
purchase of silver as at present until
January /. 1895, and the issue of $500.
000. 900 in gold bonds. These last propo-
sitions are in the interest OF the gold
bugs, and the apparent reluctance OF the
administration TO accept them is simply
a decoy duck put out TO catch the silver
advocates. The actions of the Demo-
Gratis on the silver question have been
hut SO much stage play.
