A SLANDERED OKLAHOMAN.


The Eagle owes an apology to Hon.
James f. Humphrey of Purcell, which
is herewith rendered. In kodaking
the political perspective of Oklahoma
the other day, whereby it was salts
factorily discovered that our sister is
true blue Republican, with a clear hi
metallic ring, we classed Mr.. Hum
phrey as Democrat. That gentle
man has filed no suit for SANDER as
yet but we expect due notice of such
action by every mail. Having made
the run, endured pioneer life and suf-
fered several prostrations from sue
cessive real estate boomS TO now saddle
him with the calamity of being Il
Democrat we fear will prove too much
in the way Of last straw. However,
as he is staunch advocate of one
great commonwealth of the two terri
tories we may be able to retain his
good will

| passports to the peoples fayG. Mr..
| Depew's prominence as a lawyer, nor
his $4,000 salary is considered for a
| moment by the voter in search of the
| honest, bottom facts concerning the
single or double standard. Enough
| is known of him and his business con-
nectionS, TO settle all doubts as to his
choice. He is the well-fed attorney for
a family holding blocks on blocks of
our government securities. 1t IS bread
and butter 10 Mr.. Depew TO combat
every step toward the payment of
these bonds in anything but gold, and
it is needless to say, he knows which
side of his bread is buttered. His con-
nection with the Vanderbilts is alto
gether private matter If they choose
TO engage his professional service at
twice his present salary, that is their
legal right, but if, in advising people
how to vote. his advice is Influenced
by his personal affairs, or those of
his. clients, that is another matter.
Every voter is presumed TO look at this
money question from his own stand
point This is especially SO because
its proper adjustment involves, not
only his success, but his daily supplies.
Little he cares for Mr.. Depew's oily
words, or his prominence as a lawyer.
He not only turns a deaf ear to such
interested advice. but he weighs the
motives which underlie it. He al
most figures that what is good for Mr..
DepeW and the VanderbiltS is neces-
sarily bad for him.
1t is the Interchange of opinion be-
tween those of the same class that
moldS public sentiment. Where there
is a community of interest there is
mutual confidence. Where there are
natural and economical antagonisms
all advice will be regarded with many
grains of allowance. 1t is like send
ing ShylOck to the countless army of
bread-winners TO preach the gospel of
universal benevolence

AND NOW. mR. CLEVELAND.

The dissa tisfaction of the west and
south with Mr.. Clevland and his policy,
needs no explanation. In addition TO
the injustice entailed upon the west,
whose people are rapidly being coerced
into the position OF Industrial slaves
to the security holder OF the east, the
general government goes on adding to
the burden additional gold interest
bearing bonds. Every public improve
ment, every municipal betterment.
every corporate facility of the west is
bonded. generally largely in excess of
the real value of the property. the in
terest on which is paid in fees, in
rates, in charges and taxes of one kind
or another by the people. So much for
| the west.
| But what Of the monied men of the
east, Of that numerous class of the
| older states, who live on incomes from
! Inherited and acquired capital: It is
no secret that there is to be another
bond issue, which is to be made to the
men who by the grace of Mr. Cleveland
cleared nine millions Of dollars in the
last deal. These men are not Ameri-
cans, and they do not employ Ameri-
can gold in the purchase Of government
bonds, except as they draw it out of
the treasury to which it is TO be re-
turned at the end of the deal What
surprises US is that that numerous
class OF comparatively small investors.
scattered throughout the older states,
do not, with their unemployed capital,
agGregating millions, rise up in rebel
lion against a policy which in robbing
them, as it robs the west, in addition
debars them the opportunity of invest
ing IN these desirable gold interest
bearing bonds. 1t is an unqueStioned
fact that had either of the late bond is
sues been offered to the people of the
United States in the way of a popular
subscription in small denominations.
the entire amount would have been
greedily snapped up by the small in
YeStOrS Of America. In that way the
interest instead of going abroad would
have been kept at home, and the nine
million margin been saved. Not only
would these advantages have accrued,
and an investment for idle millions
been provided, but if per cent of the
bonds thus offered TO the home demand
had been made of denominations as
low as twenty-five or fifty dollars,
they would have gone to swell the cir
culation of the country by just so
much, relieving in a degree the string
ency Of the times and the depression of
values.
1t won't do to say that Mr.. Cleveland
is chump, but that his prejudices
submerge his wisdom and that his sell
hshness rises superior to his patriotism
there seems little question.

THE KANSAS WOMAN IN POLITICS

Cat scraps even, when prolonged,
fail at last of narrowing sensations
The Investigations at Topeka are de-
generaff ting into an old woman scrap.
1t seems that under the Pop bowwow
a female doctor named Kniberg. in her
driftings, lodged in the state asylum
at Topeka. and she and Mrs. Lease are
prominently figuring in the Mrs. Pack
investigation. Mrs. Lease, in her tes-
timOny, accused Mrs. Doctor Kniberg
of grossly unprofessional conduct, and
then the tilt that followed caused all
the occupants of trousers in the room to
look for convenient window. Mrs.
DR.. Kniberg swore among other things
that Mrs. Lawyer Lease while in Cali
fornia. had hypnotiZed Walter y. Allen
who was in Topeka, causing him at
that distance to do just as she willed
in conducting the affairs at the asylum.
No doubt a majority of the inmates of
that asylum are crazy but their lunacy
is nothing to be compared with such
testimony given under oath. Mrs.

sional was redundant Such 4 doctor
would be incapacitated from doing 4
professional job. The more the wild
eyed outfit are investigated the stronger
is the conviction that it would have
been the wiSest thing to have Smoothed

forgotten. If the Pop party must
be recognized in their claims OF being

she who so prOmiscouSly figured ut the
penitentiary. unprofesSiOnally figured
in the asylum, and disCustingly figured
above board and below the covers
everywhere in the institutions and af-
fairs of Kansas for the two years last
past. then there is. 10 say the least. little
encouragem left Tor those who
claim that in woman in public life
would cleanse and elevate politics. The
meshcs of her bedraCCled skirts seems
to have caught every pantalooned gam
