Mr. Flynn's political career-his

Two years ago Flynn's argument
was that it was necessary to elect HIM
that Oklahoma might have a man at
Washington in sympathy with the ad
ministration. The idea row is that
we should send him back because he
is not in sympathy with the admins
tration. -Alva Chronicle.
Mr. Flynn's argument (?) reminds
us Of trick of quack doctor back
east" who used the bark of a certain
tree to make his remedies for all dis
eases. For one ailment he would
scrape the bark off downward and call
it high.coclS-a-lorum, and for another
he would scrape it upward, and called
that low-cock -a-hirum. Either and
both had the same effect upon the

PARTIES AM FKEE COINAGE

The press and speakers of the Re
publican party continue to declare
that that party is friend to silver,
and attempt to prove it by quoting the
party's platform declaration to the
exclusion of the party's record in con"
gress and the national administration
which shows IN every instance that it
has been the implacable enemy of the
white metal. When they proclaim in
favor of the free coinage of American
silver they reassert their party's doc
trine OF protection simply from the
force of habit, for there is no discount
of the money value of the American
silver dollar, nor would be II the
worlds supply of silver bullion were
80 coined On the contrary The
LEADER believes that nothing would
90 SO FAR towards establishing bimet-
alism AMI maintaining the parity be-
tween silver aud gold as would the
free aud unlimited coinage of silver
by the United States government
The act of other countries in sending
their silver bullion here to be coined
could have no other significance than
a desire to secure Tor it the standard
of value as money of the American
silver dollar.
But, an objector says, II foreign bull
lion should be coined on an equal
footing rs TO cost with the American
silver, large portion OF it would be
left here in payment for our products
of farm and factory, and thus initiate
the volume of our circulating medium
to such an extent as TO depreciate its
value and drive gold out of ciculation.
The first proposition is one of the
strongest arguments to our mind, in
favor of the Democratic idea of free
! and unlimited coinage, and is in per
feet harmony with that other cardinal
Democratic doctrine of freer trade.
There is no other sort of doubt that
free and unlimited coinage OF silver
on parity with gold at the present
ratio of l6 to /, would stimulate our
foreign trade as nothing else ever has
done or ever viii. not excepting abso-
Lutte free trade, which nobody desires
or expects at this time, chat will
come when the country is ready for 1t,
aud not before). Nor is there the
slightest sanger from the imitation
notion it would be simply an impos
s.Snity And the assertion that Il
would drive gold out of circulation i,
equally absurd. Men do not gair
from boarded money, and gold, pos
sessing no more value as money thar
other kinds of money uttered by tn,
government and by it maintained OF
a parity, would be worth N,
more under free coinage than II
is today. And II 1t should
disappear from general circulation, o.

main out of general circulation-it &

In ten thousand today-who would b

FROM the latest expose of the Santa
Fe railroads financial management
which shows that the company has
been defrauded out of the enormous
sum of $3.50, 600, 900, IL would appear
that the system of keeping accounts
for the corporation has been pretty
much after the fashion of that en-
ployei by the sheriff of Logan county,
|. e., by keeping no accounts at all.
Whether such unbusiness-like methods
are followed, somebody is sure to suf-
fer, no difference what the nature of
the business is. whether private, cor
porate or public.

Well, what OF it? According to the

home market is the best market for
the home producers, and il this is true
the producers in the states do not
want to send their products TO Canada.
And, besides, il the Canadian tariff
keeps out of that market the produ cts

CmcAoo. Oct 90. - Indictments
against six officials aud officials OF
the Santa Fe railway system were re-
turned yesterday for violations of the
interstate commerce law. The author
tiles refused TO give the names of the
officials, but stated that the warrants
would be served to-day. - -
The indictments arc the result of
the Investigation of the charges that
the Santa Fe has paid millions of dol

IL was stated later that two

ATTORNEY Shields, who conducted
the investigation, said the other in
dicted men were not prominent and
he feared they would run away If
their names were made public before
the warrants were served. The pen
atty for the offenses charged, he said,
was two years Imprisonment or n fine
of $500, i'm the discretion of the court.
A dispatch from Washington says
that the men indicted in addition to

Manager Jenkins OF the Hammond
Beef company, Isaac Z. Thomson of

eral freight agent of the Santa Fe
road. There are seven indictme nts
