fair inference that the prospect for the

other piece of impractical financial

LESS TINKER-MoRE RESULTS.

What is the matter with the Demo
cratic party any way? Anything that
may be said i'm criticism of that party,
now, is not in the spirit of opposition.
They were licked body, soul and
breeches. There is no disposition on
the part of the Republicans to straddle
their fallen forms and crow. There is
that self glorification over the killing
brings a sense of guilt with it What
ever may be said of the Democratic
party at present must be said in a
purely philosophical vein, without par
usan venom and without charity,
which. to a valiant and fallen foe, saw
ors of cruelty.
So from purely philosophical stnad-
point the Democratic party appears to
be stepping all over itself in a waythat
can not be ascribed either TO insanity,
incompetency or ;diocy, but which very
much resembles incompetency, insan-
ity and idiocy.
The Democrat as a private citizen is
eludl W o1htI tlllZtll- llt Is luSl
as intelligent, just as progressive, just
as competent as any other citizen. But
give him a majority in congress and
his intelligence flops, his progressive
ness upsets. and his competency splut-
tiers and spills to the four winds of
heaven.
Carlisle's currency bill has just been
ditched. 1t started out gaily, spun all
along the legislative track a-humming,
and was bumped off at the first OBJ
stacle. This ends the first attempt al
legislation of the second session of this
Democratic congress. The first session
was exactly similar. Congress mon
keyed along without accomplishing
anything. Again they are monkeying
along and they are accomplishing
nothing.
Now il the American people like any
thing it is results. Their mercurial
temper can stand just so much tinker
ing and doodling and when the tinker
and doodle limit has been passed they
get ALFRED hot

If the first congress had passed in a
few weeks a free trade bill, the people
would not have been so mad as they
were when, after jimmying around for
months. the Democrats managed TO
yank protective measure through
with which nobody on earth, always
excepting the sugar trust, was salts
fed. The passage of the spawned edi-
ton of the Wilson bill was not re-
suit. 1t was sort of legislative splut-
ter.
Now congress has been caterwauling
over Carlisle's scheme 1t has been
beaten. There is no result. Nobody
is particularly satisfied and everybody
is inclined to give congress kick.
What the country wants are results.
If this congress can not give them. the
members ought, out of charity, to give
themselves a vigorous kick or two and
20 home.

QUEER STATE LEGISLATURES.

State legislatures are queer in some
things. The ambitious representatives,
to whom the combined eye of his con-
stituency turns with blushing pride,
has this fact bump up against his I'M
Outstanding violently at times.
One of the first mistakes of a youth
full legislator is to rise in his place and,
with voice SO deep that it rattles the
foundation, announce that he has a bill
to introduce. 1t may be the first bill
to be introduced. When it arrives at
that stage of parliamentary law where
it is to be discussed. every man in the
legislature fells it his solemn duty to
listen attentiyely to the reading of the
bill. After it is read he also succumbs
to the emotion that he had better say
word or two about it, just to let his con-
stituency know that he is chewing up
good deal of valuable air for their sake.
AS a consequence the first bill to be
discussed in a session of a state legis-
lature, is ripped up the back and torn
down the sides and unravelled and
smashed in the eye and riddled and
battered and scratched until there IS
nothing left Of it ThereupOn it dies
and the young legislator seeks COM
mittee room and bumps his head
against the wall.
If the same bill were introduced to-
wards the last of the session it would
go through the legislature a-kiting.
Most of the members get tired of listen
ing to bills and cease to pay any at
tention to the reading clerk except TO
catch the title and the recommends
ton of the cOmmitte. Other members
succumb to sleep. Others bury them
selves in newspapers and a great
crowd are galivanting around through
the committee rooms talking over old
times. There are only a few who want
to make any speeches, and as soon as
they find that nobody will listen to
them they get tired. And the bill
glideS through.

GOVERNOR RENFRow's CHANGE.

Governor Renfrow, in his message to
the legislature, recommends that the
legislative districts be reapportioned
and the whole territory at once classes
RenfrOw with the leading humorists
and says: go up higher"
1t is not often that a gerrymander,
after a man has constructed it, will fol-
low him around and walk with peg
nail shoes on his PROSTATE form. When
Governor Renfrow twisted those dis
tricts around until map of Oklahoma
looked like a handful of angle-worms,
he did not expect that that gerry
mander would call him I'D out Of his
bed at night in order to jolt him once
or twice on the seat Of his pantalOons.
He didn't expect that that shrewd poll
teal maneuver would haunt his path
at all times of the day and night in
order to grab him by the nape of his
political neck and shake his false teeth
loose.
But that is just what the gerry
mander is doing. All who have that
Oklahoma gerrymander will agree that
it is a fine thing from a wiggly stand
point. 1t was coiled up ready to strike
for Democratic success. 1t didn't. The
Republicans, somehow or other, man
aged to get more straight votes than
the crooked districting could Offset,
and for the first time in his life Gov
ernor Renfrow felt that the construc-
ton Of the human anatomy, in not al
lowing a man to belt himself with his
boot, is a dismal failure.
Now Governor Renfrow asks that his
pet gerrymander be given a dose of
salts. The Republicans of the terri
tory will consider about this. 1t was a
Democratic measure, Endorsed by a
Democratic governor, and the Republi-
cans as a party have always been slow
to change any beneficial legislation
that the Democrats have, by accident.
brought about. After all, the gerry
mander may be q good thing. The
average district enables a candidate to
wander all over the TERRITORY and get
acquainted with the people. OF course
he may occasionally wander outside
his own district and make four or five
speeches in another mans domain, but
that is mere trifie. After the last
election three or four of the Republi-
can candidates We're hunted down by
poSseys and found in some other fell
lows district but as they were elected,
it was all right.
For that reason when the Demo-
Gratis present the Republicans with a
homemade gerrymander, they are not
going to be hasty in parting with it.
