THE ANARCHIST OF MORALS.

The mystery of the downfall of
Oscar Wilde is not dwelt upon at length
anywhere, or frequently by anyone
because the moral turpitude of his
crime precludes comment.
But some one has rummaC ed around
in the works of Wilde and found writ
ten declarations, which directly and
Enthusiastically show that the beauties
and the necessities of morality are not
recognized by him as such.
This discovery is made in an essay
by Wilde entitled Pen, Pencil and
Poison" being sketch of the life OF
one Wainwright, a criminal eSthete
of a preceding generation. Vain
wright was an artist and writer
whose company was sought by Charles
Lamb, De Quincy, John Farster and
other literary lights. Wainwright
without the least show of conscience
poisoned eight persons. at different
times, among them his uncle and bene,

And this led Oscar Wilde to say
There is 10 essential incongruily
between crime and culture" And in
drawing a portrait of Wainwrighl

RAILROADS IN OKLAHOMA,

some Time Since CHe TstliTOstu bullu1uS
epidemic was rampant in Oklahoma
The veto of government grant of
right-of-way by President Cleveland
threw a shower of cold water on the
boomers have not recovered. The
ChOctaw road, which is one OF the
very few railroads now in course of
construction in the United States, is
tied up with an injunction in the
Kickapoo country.
1t is very important that the ano-
malous Indian governments should be
dissolved and wiped out. So long
as they exist Oklahoma will find Diff
ficulty in reaching out into the IN
penetrated but fruitful tracts, which
are SO near her in miles. but so far
away I'm business relations.
But whether railroads are built in
Oklahoma for years TO come or not.
that territory is peculiarly fortunate,
for new country. to have the railroads
that she already has. Two of the
largest and most important railroads
of the nation run clear through Okla
homa. One passes through the east
ern portion of the present territory.
another in the central portion and a
branch through the western part. Even
if lines are built east through the In
dian country to Arkansas. it IS likely
that Oklahoma's prosperity. at least
SO much as is contributed by railroads,
will come over the Santa Fe and Rock
Island systems and from the north.
immigration cannot be expected TO any
great extent from the south. 1T will
come from the north. Railroads to
Arkansas passing through the lumber
and coal districts, will be 4 valuable
aid to Oklahoma but they will never
be Of that Importance to her that the
great lines from the north are and
will be.
1t was unfortunate that President
Cleveland, for mere sentimental rea-
sons, should foreStall railroad enter
prise in Oklahoma, but it can be said
reasonably that even if his veto had
not been given, it would not have been
found an easy matter to have built the
many railroads which We're proposed.
The days for discriminate railroad
building is over. Every line that is
put down in Oklahoma in the future
will be built from the necessities Of
the community. 1t will not be an
indiScriminate, valueless doubling and
redOubling of tracks from one hamlet
to another, as it is in so many we'll
known instances in Kansas.
Oklahoma will need cheap coal Of
quick transportation and she will get
the railroads that will secure it, She
will need direct and ready connection
with the rich lands in the Indian coun-
try, and her necessity will win capital
to her side and capital alone can build
the required roads. But that will
hardly come until another president.
who is less sOlicitous for the rights of
the poor Indian and more interested
in the prosperity of the people of Okla
hOma, succeeds Grover Cleveland
Until that time, Oklahoma with a
line building into the coal fields and
two trunk lines extending the terri
tory's entire length, will not suffer in
the least.

INTERESTING NEWSPAPER EXPERT
MENT.

Herman II. KOhlsaat's purchase of
the Chicago Times-Herald leaves the
Democrats of that city without a
single morning representative. Mr..
Kohlsaatis purchase of the paper is 4
daring innovation in journalism. For
years the Chicago Herald has been an
exponent of the tenets Of the Democrat
ic party, and defender Of the actions
Of Democratic leaders. The new pur-
chaser announces that he will make the
paper independent, but in its indie
pendence it will advocate national tar
IF protection and gold standard.
The natural supposition would be
that the purchase would not be sue
cessful. The readers of the Herald.
have for years, turned to the editorial
page to read the onslaughts on the pro-
tective tariff, which they as Democrats
enjoyed. Now, they will find the self
same pages equally frey in its defence
Of the policy that was once attacked.
and equally vigorous in its criticisms
of the public men. whom the paper
was wont to defend.
The question that comes uppermOst
is whether the Herald can hold its old
subscribers. This question which will
occur to all newspaper men, makes Mr..
Kohlsaat's purchase an iterestng eX-
pertinent.
II has long been held among news
paper men that the political beliefs
and expressions of newspaper have
q dominating effect on its subscrip-
ton lists. That paper, of extreme
views politically, in changing to Il
course Of thought and expression dia-
metrically opposed to those of its read
ers, would lose most Of its subscribers
no practical newspaper man would
have doubted twenty years ago. But
the independent newspaper of today
has accomplished marvellous results
without set political beliefs OF any
kind. Partisanship is not as narrow
or as prejudiced as it was ten or twenty
years ago, and the reader Of news
paper that gives the news, unbiased
by political opinion, and systematizes
the events Of the day, and furnishes
them to the public in an attractive
style. can find field Of it's own re-
CARELESS of the decisions and dicta-
tons on the page known as editorial.

year of his age. of consumption.
Judge Jackson had been in failing health
for the past four years. but it has Only
been in the past eight or ten months that
the progress of the disease began 20 cause
his family and friends uneasiness
Last year he went on a lengthy trip
to the far west in search of health Later
he went TO Townsville, Ga, where it was
hoped the mild and yet bracing climate
would restore his one-time vigorous con-
stitution.
The trip did him little good. and after a
time he was brought home. At his old
home Judge jackson seemed to improve
slightly until he came to Washington to
sit in the second hearing of the income tax
cases. He stood that trying trip only fair

to lose strength rapidly.
Nevertheless Judge Jackson never <ook
