WANTS STATEHOOD.
Oklahoma Wants to Swallow the In.
dian Territory

WASHINGTON Oct, 25, Gov Will
liam @, Renfrow of Oklahoma Ter
ritory has submitted his report to
the secretary of the interior. The
general condition Of the Territory
he sums up in the following
Oklahoma's progress has been
steady and rapid ever since the 22
of April, 1889, Capital has not as
yet sought investment to any great
extent in Oklahoma, but there has
been a real substantial increase in
wealth from the almost unlimited
natural resources Of the Territory,
and it now furnishes one of the
best fields for capital in the United
States.
Report by county clerks to the
territorial auditor on February J.,
1894, showed the population to be
2l2, 635, but Gov Renfrow now es-
Inmates it at 250,O0O, The taxable
valuation of the Territory is $l9,-
947, ,922 The assessed valuation Of
railroad property is 81, $50, 592; the
value of the Western Union Tele-
graph property is $52, ,026. There
are ffty-six banks IN the territory
six national and fifty private, In
discussing the resurces of the terri
tory and its agricultural depart
ment, Gov. Renfrow says;
All kinds of agricultural products
grow in Oklahoma, and stock rails
ing is in a rapid state Of develop
ment Manufacturing has been
but little developed There are
strong indication of valuable min
eral deposits, although congress has
declared the land non-mineral
There are also surface indications
Of coal, gas and OIL
Probably the most important
part of Gov, Renfrows report is
devoted to statehood and the ad-
mission Of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory as one state He says
The question of Statehood for
Oklahoma has been much agitated
and the people are divided on the
question. Some desire Statehood
for Oklahoma with It's present
boundary; others prefer to have
the matter of Statehood deferred
until such time as Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory may be ad.
mitted as one state, AS separate
states neither Oklahoma or the In
dian Territory would rank among
the great Western States, either in
extent or wealth, Together they
would be equal to the greatest and,
in my opinion, the greatest state
west of the Mississippi

A Seaman With a Good Record Could Not
Endure Reprimand.
John Neil, a seaman in the United
States navy, serving on board the re-
ceiving ship Independence, Mare Island
navy yard, was reprimanded the other
morning for having overstaid his leave
of absence, and Tor punishment was or
dered restricted to the ship for period
of 60 days AS soon as Neil received his
decree of punishment he went below
into the ship bagroom, where he was
found later with a bullet wound in his
right temple. He was a man of unusual
distinction, having received medal hon
ors from congress for bravery and mer-
itorious conduct.
He enlisted in the navy in 1851, served
with Farragut at Mobile Bay and lashed
the admiral IN the rigging of the Hart
ford, where he stood by his side through
out the fight. Since the war Neil has
served continuously in the navy and
was one of the survivors Of the i'll fated
Trenton, which went down in Apia har
Dor. He received general mention for
bravery in rescuing shipmates from the
Vandalia, which was also wrecked III
the same gale. He was native of Ire
land, aged 90, and member of the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
Regular Army and Navy union. The re-
mains were inferred in the navy GENE
terry at Mare island under the auspices
of the Army and Navy union.-New

Paid the Farmer For His Trouble.

\ farmer in China, Me-, recently heard
smothersd squawking in his henhouse
and twas midnight. When he went out
he found the henhouse door ajar, and
sounds indicated that the intruder was
still within. Therefore the farmer
slammed the door, bolted it and posted
himself outside the henhouse until morn
ing did appear. Then he looked in the
window and discerned a neighbor, who
came contritely forth and paid the farm
er SOS for time, loss of sleep, etc. Still
people sly there is no money in farming.

A Partisan Newspaper Novelty.

A farthing newspaper is the latest
novelty in Paris. 1t is called La Vie,
and Is edited by Pol Martinez, an an.
archist, who has spent no inconsiderable
part of his life in prison for his violent
writings. AS a farthing, or, to speak
more precisely, a % centime piece, is un-
known to the French currency, the new
venture is faced at the outset by a Sc
rious practical difficulty, but the pro-
jector gets over it in a rather ingenious
fashion. The paper is to be printed in
two different colors, each color being
used on alternate days. Purchasers of a
paper of one color will be charged a
halfpenny, but they will getin exchange
for it on the following day, without
further charge, the paper of the other
color.-London Daily News.

The Wool situation.

It is certain that the wool growers of Arizona understand the situation, and it is not any wonder that the wool growers who formerly voted the demo. cratic ticket are now republicans.
 The following extract from an ad- dress to the Interstate Wool Growers convention, recently held in Denver. tells the story of the wool business;
 "Arizona represents 100000 fine wool sheep. Ten years ago she could not muster 2j,000, but hostile Apaches abounded on every hand. Before the free trade party gained the ascendaney these 10000 head of sheep could have been disposed of readily at $3, 000,000 Today under threatened free wool these same sheep could not find a buyer at more than one dollar and a half per head, or S1, ,500,00 Our wool clip in 1892 brought us $840,000. We realized from Il greater clip in 1893 $2S0. .000, all of which represents q grand total loss of $2,000, 900, and the end is not yet, with blighted hopes for the future. What is true of our flocks is also true of the 45, GOO, 600 sheep in the United State,. By the advice of the
 
 president of the National Wool Grow CTS association, Judge Lawrence, we have forwarded to w. w. Burch, of Chicago, our contribution in a small way and petitions containing the sig natures of men of all political faiths, numbering in the hundreds. Should our appeal fall on deaf ears we console ourselves with the thought that there will be congresses after the present one where we may be heard. Free wool means q glut of our market with cheap foreign wool, which would last two years after a new tariff law is enacted. unless we can prevent the free wool clause of the Wilson bill from taking effect it will be at least five years before we can hope for better prices than the 1 present.

IT should not require any argument to convince a patriotic American that matters dealing with the foreign policy of the government should never be made partisan political questions in congress. But hot-headed men on both sides did that very thing with the Ha- waiian question in the house, and the result, as might have been expected, was rigid drawing of party lines and the adoption of a resolution that can hardly be satisfactory to any body, al- though some people consider it an en- tlorsement of President Clevelands s policy. It is not probable that Mir. Cleveland feels proud of such au en- dorsement. It condemns Minis ter Ste vcns in unmeasured terms for his al- legged interference with friendly gov ernment, but ignores the interference of Minister Willis with another friendly government. In fact, it was the opin- ion of conservative people that it would have been better for the house to have allowed the senate to have taken the initiative step, as it's foreign committee will in few days make report on ifs invest gation, now completed. Iftherc we e no hot heads in congress the pro- teedings would not be so lively, but the le gislation would be wiser

HOW FLAGSTAFF WAS NAMED.
The Correct Story of how the Skylight
 City Was Named.

The commonly accepted story that Lieutenant Beale and his escorttrimmed pine tree and rau to it's top the stars and stripes on certain Fourth of July ou the site of Flagstaff, proves, on in- vestigation, to have been due to the imagination of some newspaper writer, and not to the facts in the case. It is probable that Lieut.. Beale celebrated the nations birthday in the San Fran cisco mountains, but the spot was not near the present location of Flagstaff. From such early settlers as Frank Hart, of Oakland, Cal, Thos. F. Me Milan, the wool grrower, of this place, and J. W. Wilson, the contrac- tor and builder, of Flagstaff, tbc facts which led to the naming of this place are ascertained.
 A few days before the fourth of July, 1876, party of settlers on their way from Boston, Mass, to Prescott, Ariz, were camped at T. F. McMillan's cor ral, near the spring on what is now known as John Clark's ranch just north of town. is located, The party decided to rest for few days and concluded tc celebrate the tooth birthday of our Re. public amid the pines of Arizona.
 A suitable pine tree was chosen and it was trimmed and smoothed by the carpenters of the party, among them J, H. Wilson, now of this place. The top of the staff was ornamented with a gilt ball.
 The flagstaff was raised on the morn ing of the Fourth of July, 1876, witt the proper ceremony. A piece O money, nickel, we believe, was de posted at the bottom of the hole, ant the flagstaff was raised and the star and stripes floated from the top during the stay of the party, which was som' two weeks longer.
 Frank Hart and T. F McMillan, wh, were both in this section at the time say that the flagstaff stood for scvera years and finally decayed of at tn ground and fell down. But the loca ton was known by all the old settler as '.The Flagstaff" and with the ad } vent of the railroad and the locating 0 station here it was called Flagstatl The Lieut.. Beale party passe through this section in 1855, and it } well known fact that pine tree afte trimming ceases to grow and decays
 So it is not even probable that tke tre , was standing when the first settler
 came to the San Francisco mountain !, ten years later.
 The town obtained it's name apprC f priately in either event, but the ey
 dence that the celebration of the Bo'
 ton party here on the Fourth of July , 1876, gave the name to the town (
 Flagstaff is fully corroborated by ol r settlers who are still living. and th

THE Navajo Indians know a good thing and want to keep it. The prin- cipal chiefs of the Navajo Indians, for their people, numbering 16,00O, who own 300, ,OO0 head of sheep, have sent to congress a protest against any re- duction of the present duties on wool, believing that to place it on the free list will practically ruin the industry. The flocks of these Indians are their main dependence for subsistence.

TIE Social Economist for February has an unanswerable article on the un constitutionality in the United States of revenue only" tariff. No tariff can be truly said to be 'fOr revenue only" unless it produces only revenue, without affecting any domestic indus try either to protect or to destroy it. The Social Economist shows that this in the United States is impossible, with cut so amending the federal constitu- ton as to vest in congress the power to lay an internal tax on every product on which an import duty is laid, sufficient to offset the duty or to prohibit the do- mestie product altogether, as England does with tobacco. It is not sufficient to tax the process by which the article is produced. The article itself must be taxed. A tariff for revenue only is so peculiarly an English Idea that our federal constitution would have to be amended before it could be carried out. We would have to begin by importing the English constitution itself
