THE Titles TUNNEL

Our valued morning contem porary, in
the ardent advocacy of it's little land
deal, has hit upon an extraordinary dis
covery, which is no less than new law
governing real estate values. According
to the Times, the great mum Der of people
passing the corner OF First and Spring
streets is diminishing the value of prop
erty at tnst point. We presume that the
new real estate formula of our astute
contemporary would be, "the greater the
number of people passing a given point,
the less the value OF course it is a
sef-sacrifcing benevolence alone that in
duces our m. C. to propose plan which
it atfirms would divert the people from
Spring and First to its own quiet corner
of First and Broadway, and thus iniure
its own property by crowding the street
at that point to the relief and improve
ment of the congested other corner. This
commendable philanthropy has but one
defect, viz, that it cannot reasonably be
expected to produce the result proposed.
In fact the game is not worth the can
die. The Herald wishes to see all parts
of the city grow and prosper, our coutem
porary's corner with the rest. We be-
lieve that the cheapest and best way to
make that point accessi Die from the north
is to cut New High street through on an
angle to Broadway, back of the Times
property. The proposed tunnel at the
head of the Broadway grade beyond
Temple would never com pensate it's cost.

REPUBLICANS AND CHINESE SUFFRAGE

Few persons know how narrowly this
coast escaped having Chinese suffrage
forced upon it by act of the federal con-
gress. 1t appears that witty story tolu
by Senator Nye of Nevada was all that
saved us. A bill to enforce Chinese
suffrage had been agreed on by the Re-
publican caucus, just after the war, and
was presented and eloquently cham
pioned by Charles Summer. But when
the Massachusetts senator had taken his
seat Mr.. Nye sprang to his feet and spoke
substantially as follows:
''Mf. President: 1 was born in the
grand old county of Steuben, New Y York
state, and raised upon farm. My pa
rents were hard working, Go1-fearng
people. and we had morning and evening
prayers in which appeals were always
offered for the freedom of the slaves. My
good mother-green be her memory-was
a careful housewife. and among other
stan dard delicacies doughnuts were al
ways provided. We all loved doughn uts
and often watched my mother when
she made the dough, and knsaded and
shortened it until it was IN tit condition.
The result of my observation was that
she always took small piece of dough
and fried it in the fat before she risked
the whole batch. She tried it first, and
awaited results. l live on the Pacit tic
coast and know good deal about the
Chinese. They have nothing in common
with us. They save their money, and
then return, pigtail and all, to China.
You cannot make citizen of man who
will not sacrifice his pigtail. We have en-
franchised the blacks-they are now free
and citizens, and l am content. My
friend from Massach usetts has made an
able and exhaustive argument, but l sug-
gest to him that it is far better and safer
to follow my good mothers example,
and fry little piece of this suffrage
dough before we risk the whole Chinese
batch"
And the bill event dead"

The goal beyond this vale of sorrow,
And smiles at plen in pity when

THE CHICKENS HATcHED

The people of the mushroom town OF
Perry, Oklahoma, have drawn the color
line. According to the telegraphic news
in Yesterdays issue of The Herald. Dis
trict Judge Brierer OF that place has
granted an alternative writ Of mandamus
compelling the Perry school board tc ad-
NIT negro children to all the schools. As
Q result of this judicial action. the Cau
casians are at a white heat and declare
emphatically that they will not send
their children to the schools if the races
are to commingle. They are in favor of
separate schools and have so voted.
Judge A. G. G. Brierer, who, in his judi
cial capacity, has been obliged to precipi-
tate this friction between the races, is
sterling Democrat and an ideal judge. A
strict construction of the laws and an
impartial application of them to the
causes of all people, regardless of race,
creed and condition, have distinguished
his official career. 1t is entirely probable
tnat IN com mon with tho majority OF the
white people of Perry, he deprecates
mixed schools, but like the consistent
Democrat and loyal judge that he is, he
awards the full measure of legal right
shat the constitution seems to confer on
the negro in this matter.
This school difficulty is the reaping of
q harvest Of Republican sowing. 1t is
the expenAed fruit of the disreputable
methods adoptad by the Republican party
to enable Abe latter to carry various cleo
tions, and incidentally it exposes the in
consistencioS of the mem bers of the party
of great moral ideas and immoral prac-
tices.
At every election held in Perry the Re-
publicans have colonized the town with
negro nondescYipts scraped up IN Okla
homa City, Guthrie and other towns OF
the territory. They have been brought
there by the score and voted in the block
style peculiar to the "holier than thou"
party. The Dem ocratic press on each
occ.- SION vigorously denounced this meth
cd of overcoming the will OF a majority
of the bonafde residents of Perry, and
prophesied the evil certain to ensue from
populating the town with mere voting
cattle, with class which came not with
decent motives and laudable desires. but
to abuse and disgrace the most sacre
privilege of an American citizen, the fran
chise. OF course, these protests and pre-
dictions availed nothing. The party
which seems to have arrogated to itself
q monopoly of soIicitude for the ballot
box, if we are to believe its clamorous
professions, was after the offices and not
worrying about the future peace ana har-
mony of Perry.
Now that these chickens OF their own
Matching re beginning to roost in mis-
cellaneous way among their own pets, q
long, loud wall of Indignation has gone
up. 1t was in the capacity of the negro
rs voter. legally or illegally, that these
Republicans were enthusiastically inter-
ested in. For his legitimate am Dition to

ing out not only the amount and value
of the property, but every detail as to how
the oil business was conducted, how
much profit there was in it, and so on.
A tax on the oil land itself is not com
slained of, but our informant feels quite
sure the officials have assessed each we'll,
as something separate and distinct from
the ground itself. If SO it will be liter
esting to Learn in what category of prop
erty the assessors have placed these holes
IN the ground. Apparently it would puz-
sle the most astuts pubic official to de-
termine whether long circular space,
surmounted with earth is real estate, I'M
provements, personal property of-what.
But the most unjustifiable cinch i'm
posed on the oil producers is in the form
OF a license tax of 81 per month on each
we'll. This simply means that the author
tiles regard the development of oil in
this city as a misdemeanor, and that,
therefore, every person guilty of such an
offense should pay a fine proportionate to
the number of his offending facilities.
No distinction is made between we'll
that produces much and one that yields
but little. The first man who ever risked
money experimenting in what has be-
come the oil district now h as thirteen
wells there, on which he has to pay
monthly fine of $13. Another owner has
a we'll that yields more oil than the out
put from the pioneers entire thirteen;
yet the one we'll man pays a fine OF only
81 a month.
The excuse offered for levying the Ii
cense fine is that the revenue thus pr O.
cured is needed to pay the oil inspector,
an official who is generally regarded as
an unnecessary appendage-as useless as
a muffied pell on lost COW. That official
is also policeman. and he is supposed
sponsibilities OF oil inspector with those
OF CLUB swinger. And for his mainten-
ance the oil men are required to pay 5000
a month in the way of occupation fines.
These oil producers are engaged in a very
useful industry; one that is felt benef-
cially. by all classes of people. In doing
this they necessarily control certain nat
ural opportunities. the value of which
comes from the presence of the commun-
ity. They should, therefore. pay to the
com munity, in the form of a tax, a reas-
enable amount tor the use of those nat
ural opportunities. And so long as other
peoples personal property is taxed the oil
men do not object to paying taxes on
their machinery and fixtures. But they
protest against unjust determinations,
such as inquisitorial proc eedings. over
taxation on their property, and outrage
GUS fines assessed against them for sup
plying an almost universal necessity of
the community. All such restrictive
measures interfere with natural rights,
hamper production and enhance the gem
eral cost OF living.

NEXT YEAR 1T WILL BE DIFFERENT

That unsophisticated Chauncey M. De-
pew has been talking again, and saying
things that will rise up and trouble him
some time in the near future. In recent
interview he gave utterance to the fol-
lowing very sensible remarks:
Both in England and on the ontinent t
there is prosperity and an abundance un-
known for years. Not only are the crops
good, but the world has adapted itself
more readily than for decade to the
revolutions of invention and discovery
and the instantaneous communion of
distant markets. All classes of people
are sharing in the better times and are
more hopeful OF the future.
In another year or so when he has
taken the stump to help sustain the fast
fading Republican party, he will indulge
in long, elaborate and ingeniously pre-
pared arguments to show that the revival
OF prosperity in Europe is due directly and
Immediately to our lately adopted tariff
bill. "Good crops, the revolutions Of in

RESTRICTING OIL PRODUCTION

There are two general species of perni-
Cious legislation, each of which initiates
seriously against the growth of personal
freedom and the progress of the people.
One is the so-called protective policy,
which encourages few at the expense of
the many; and the other is the restrictive
policy which Is based upon the theory
that whenever useful enterprise is got
ten we'll under way by private parties
it Is the duty of the state to load it down
with burdens in the form of special taxes
license fees and other devices of legis la
tive i'm mbecIlity, until the enterprise,
whatever it may be, is so hampered that
its benefits to the public are reduced to
the m inimum.
The policy of restriction is the one
applied to the oil industry in this city :;
an INDUSTRY which in few mouths has
resulted in reducing the price of crude
oil to consumers from 50 per barrel to 40
cents per barrel, and going far toward
solving the fuel question in this locality.
About two years ago the first oil wells
here that gave satisfactory results were
sunk. The sinking of others rapidly fol-
lowed, and now the oil district contains
about 200 flowing wells. In the develop
ment OF this industry fully half million
dollars have been invested, and steady
employment is given to several hundred
laborers.
1t zoos not follow from these facts that
the owners of the oil wells should be
granted any special privileges or treated
with any greater consideration than is
shown to other classes of useful citizens
All classes should be com PEELED to gay a
iust tax, and beyond that the local gov
eminent should keep hands off, neither
showing favors nor imposing unjust re-
strictions. And no restriction not abso-
lutely necessary to protect the rights of
al can be otherwise than unjust. Oil
well men are com pla lining, and not with
out cause, that the city authorities are
treating them unfairly. They say that
their property this year has been assessed
atexorbitant figures, and with slight re-
gard to its actual value. One of the par
ties Interested states that when he and
other well known owners gave in a list
OF their properties the assessor exam ned
and cross-examined him for nearly two
hours, with the evident intention Of find

With the Cara van.

In the sandy deserts of the north,
where journeys are made so much by
night, the feeling of melancholy is
often found to prevail. On horseback
or by mail cart, on the long, straight
tracks through the sand, one seems to
be perpetually following some star in
the heavens. to which one gets no
nearer. If one stops to rest, no sound
upon the ear, save, perhaps, the groans
of camel being loaded for the night
march, or the creak of Persian wheel
raising the water on the rivers brink
1t is relief to pass the strings OF
camels bearing their rich burdens of
silk, asafetida and grapes from distant
Cabul to the Indian cities Of the plains.
In the long string led by the bearded
and travel-stained driver, who is well
fortified by opium for the weary and
mountainous journey, they emerge
suddenly and silently, like phatons
from the nocturnal gloom, and gliding
noiselessly by, quickly disappear again.
