A Perverted Potentate

All hail to you. King Tariff Bill--a king OF
shreds and patches
Feared, but without respect, by each to
whom a tax attaches.
Dismembered, kicked and tossed about.

Oh. what sorry monarch Is this pieced
and wadded being;
Shapeless, uncouth and reasonless a thing
meh shrink from seeing!
Clad in a mad profusion of the most un-
seemly stuffs.
Haunting his slavish collar and his fiaring
misfit cuffs,
Decked with a crown of iron; begemmed
with common coal, --.--
And pampered in an appetite for sweets be-

This. wondrous monarch, is your youth !;

Your painful eccentricities, If you would but

Mr.. Hogan has gone to jaii-the Lewis
and Clarke county jail in Montana-and
Will remain there for six months to come.
How are the mighty fallenI But a few
days ago 1t was General Hogan, and he
hundred Coxeyites who were on their way
TO Washington. But unlike the army that
started from Massillon on Easter Sunday,
the Hogan contingent did not believe in
pedestrianism, and as the hard-hearted
railroad corporations declined to furnish it
with free transportation. General Hogan
melted his followers to steal a train ard
to run 1t as far east as possible. The pro-
gram was carried out satisfactorily until
United States troops from Fort Keogh cap
tured the army" while 1t slumbered and
escorted IL back to Helena. Hogan, de-
prived OF his title and of his command
was tried in the United States district
court and has been awarded six months
Of comparative solitude. while the engineer
and fireman who ran the train and the
forty captains and heutenants through
whom Hogan's orders were transmitted
were given sixty days each. The balance
of the army will probably be released
provided each man pledges himself to re-
frain from train-stealing in the future. OF
course this Interference OF the law with
the constitutional rights of every nan to
steal all the trains he wants when on his
way to Washington for the purpose of bull
DOING Congress will raise a howl nhsre-
ever two or three Coxeyites are gathered
together, but the country will probably be
able to stand it,

1t Is an unfortunate and sorrow-moying
fact that there are at this time and in this
country men who would plunge this nation
INTO all the indescrtbable horrors of a great
war IN order that the present discomfort
and dangerous restlessness may have an
outlet, and that industries now dormant
may be awakened. These thouehtless or
vicious advocates of strife see in their pro-
gram conflict with Great Britain, occupa-
ton as soldiers for the large number of nm
employed. abnormal activity in agriculture
and manufactures and vast OPPORTUNITY for
political spoils. The inhumanity OF the
proposition is brutality plain and 1t cannot
but meet with the disapproval Of the great
mass Of the American people-the same peo-
pie who would, were there any sufficient
cause, shed the last drop of their blood in
defense of a principle to uphold which the
stars and stripes had been invoked. If any
foreign power had unrighteously offended
the dignity of the United States or had
dealt unJustIy with an American citizen
and then impudently refused to apologize
FOR the wrong, war would perhaps be the
only means by which redress could be Sc
cured. but to insist upon a deliberate quar-

The Senate did precisely the right thing
yesterday when 1t confirmed the renomina-
ton Of Thomas F. Miller to be Judge Of the
folice Court of the District Of Columbia.
During the term Of Office just expired Judge
Miller has rendered this community most
admirable service and has earned more of
thanks than have been given him. The
court over which he presides Is one of the
most important institutions in the District.
While Washington is blessed with great
epulence Of legal talent, something more
than knowledge OF the statutes and the best
methods Of their application is necessary to
make q successful police judge: and these
qualities are possessed in an eminent degree
by Judge Miller. who is both an able lawyer
and clear-headed, courageous man.

excuse the guilty ones for their activity in
planning bloodshed. Hundreds Of thousands
CT people In this country have experienced
the suffering consequent upon warfare and
these will be slow to follow those who see
in the killing and wounding of armies and
the grief of the widowed and the fatherless
temporary advantage for the few. At this
time there is absolute harmony between the
United States and all the other nations of
earth, and to invent some trifling cause for
war would be nothing less than a crime
The idea that the unemployed Of the coun-
try can do no better for themselves and
their families than earn s13 a month by
service in the army Is absurd, for fully
ninety per cent of those who now lack &C.
cupation and desire 1t can find work on the
farms and secure in return for their toll
very much more cash and much better sub
sistence and quarters than fall to the lot
Of the soldier in the field, while the risk to
life would be incomparably less. The trou-
BILE with too many of the idle men Of the
laboring class is their obstinacy as to the
variety Of occupation they will follow; they
have set UP a wage-standard and do not
propose to deviate from 1t no matter how
much they and those dependent on them
may suffer. Preparation for war is proper
and commendabie for the reason advanced
by Washington, who said "to be prepared for
war is one OF the most effectual ways OF
preserving peace" but an aggressive effort
to force some nation to war with US could
never be excused on the ground Of national
'expediency or party exigency. The evil
would not be of the unmixed variety, how
ever. could the country be assured that the
constituencies ones who advocate causeless
strife would be conspicuously located on the
skirmish line at the opening Of the first en-
gagement.

ROYALTY TO BE COLLECTED
So Says Inspector I. w. Folsom
of the ChOctaw Nation.
Instructions Received.

DIR. l. w. Folsom inspector for the
Choctaw Nation to represent that
government in the collection Of royal
ties for taxable products of the Chick
asaw Nation and to three-fourths of
which revenue the Choctaws are en-
titled, has received instructions from
Governor Gardner to collect the roy
atty on every article of natural pro-
duction offered for sale or shipment
and which is subject to the duties i'm
posed. The doctor says he will COM
ply with his instructions literally
regardless of the ChickaSaw authOri-
ties. In the list of dutiable articles
we notice salt, coal, stone, all kinds
of timber and native hay. The cause
leading up to these structures was the
wholesale shipment of walnut tim
Der, mention of which industry has
frequently been made in these col
umns. The ChOctaws charge that
the ChickaSawS are not only conniv-
ing at this violation of law but that
those high in power are actually en-
gagged in the traffic.

CamatarH Notice.

The management of the South Gem
etery have necessarily entailed great
expense in which every person who
have relatives buried there-outside
of the pOtter's tield-aIe directly in
terested. This expense has accrued in
the surveying and plating or of
every lot in the cemetery, and must
be paid at once. The labOrer is
worthy of his hire. The original
price for lots 2sx30 feet, was put at
s.. 90, a price insufficient to bear ex-
penses. But that everyone may have
an equal showing, it has been deemed
advisable to continue the present
price for 80 days from this date, after
which all lots uusold will be held at
$40 each. Every resident in ArdmOre
and vicinity is directly interested in
this matter, and your appreciation OF
the manage ment, and concurrence in
the foregoing is earnestly hoped for.
A plat OF the cemetery. drawn by Mr..
Ressler. who surveyed every lot, can
be found at my ofice on Caddo street,
where lots cdI be selected and re-
ceipts for same obtained.
This notice applies alike TO those
who already hold lots, as on no ac-
count will receipts be given until the
money is paid.
