A srATEuoop DILEMMA.

Your Uncle All Sid Clarke is in dis
tress When be issued call for a
statehood convention at Shawnee,
Dec 4, he failed 10 put up his storm
doors and don snow shoes. As result
he has been chilled to the marrow by
a very pointed and pertinent letter
from the people Of Pawnee, who re-
Gently issued n call for statehood
convention TO be held at oklahoma
City on January 8. Mr.. Clarke wrote
the Pawnee people that they had no
right to issue such call, since he was
president OF the territorial statehood
committee" and that he was the only
proper person in the territory to name
the time for discussing, the "in-
tolsrable condition which exists
here under territorial rule" The
Pawnee people treated Mr.. Clcrk's
mssive IN a really shocking manner.
Ia fact they rendered him a roast
fresh from the oven. The LEADER is
in receipt OF both the letters of Mr..
Clark and the statehood committee
selected by the Pawnee citizens. They
are printed on a slip Of paper, and the
caption reads thus:
"Eo the people of Oklahoma terri
tory: The following correspondence
explains itself. The question is. shall
the people rule? Shall the counties in
sheir organic capacity have an equal
voiee?" The Pawnee letter contains
myriad of hot tldngs 1t virtually
says Mr.. Clarke is off his base-shock-
ing situation and declares that Shaw
nee is an obscure place and that the
call for a convention there is the work
OF few political hacks and "gLng
OF townsite boomers"
IL further says Clarke's statehood
committee was never heard Of before;
that strip representation cannot
be had at shawnee and that the Paw
nee call will not he withdraw.
Now, by the god-iike Mars, this is a
deplorable mess. Cropping in the dark
ness with an "intolcrable condition OF
territorial rule" on his well-kept
shoulders, All Sid Is confronted at
once with a theory and condition. He
will be obliged to either back water
or chew the cud OF discomfort aud
sore de feat--and IL looks very much
as II he will do the latter, since the
Pawnee people evidently mean busi-
ness and will not allow their aifec-
tions TO be trified with. But such is
life in Oklahoma for Mr.. Clarke.
1t Is even worse than the pie-counter
systen. OF Washington. In the mean.
time the statehood movement gains
ground and II worm-eaten politicians
will keep their hands off. an end may
be brought to our 'IntoleTable condi-
! tion

SILVER Is POPULAR.
The Listeners 10 the Financial Debate
Are with Coin"

Chicago, July 25.-At the opening of the
HorrHarvey silver debate today it was
said that only two more sessions would be
held, and that for this reason the daily
bouts would be somewhat heightened IN
order to admit of the delivery OF the num-
Der of words agreed upon. The debate to-
day was marked by more than the usual
ly sharp encounters.
Mr.. Horn called his opponents attention
to a statement which he had made in his
criticism upon Senator Morgan, wherein ne
stated that the silver dollars of ll2i9 Sra MS
were largely coined previous to the demon
citation of silver in 1873, and after the
passage of the law of 1853. making subsl-
diary coinage of less value than its face
therefore he inferred that Senator Morgan
mistaken in stating that none of the
Ape dollars had been coined from silver
mined in this country. Mr.. Harvey Us
that the old dollars of 4l2,k grains v're
coined for the people of Nevada ana cali
fornia, Notwithstanding that at that time
the bullion was worth more uncoined imam
coined. Mr.. Horn denied that these dollars
were coined from silver mined n this Cour-
try and sent to the mint for that purpose.
Congress had provided that foreign coin
should be received by the government at
certain fixed value, and further mat SCch
coins should not be again put INTO Grcuia-
ton but should be recoined at the mint. Inc
that over 5000 500 dollars in SILVER Lad thus
accumulated, having been found III the
gold during the process of assaylng IL.
At this point Mr.. Harvey challenged MT
IIorr's statement, saying that he hau not
brought his authorities with him ana there-
fore his arguments We're entitled 10 no
standing i'm the debate. He then handed
Mr. Horr statement of the director OF
the mint which ne had reported that duf-
ing the year 1870. 412,I62 silver dollars ma"
been coined at Carson City Nevada. MI.
Harvey again called his opponent To 'aSN
for not combining his remarks 10 the ordeI
of debate originally agreed upon, ana saia
tnat he would not be diverted IIoi" ''i'o
order He then entered upon discussion
