scheme of Iizzio's loakod out. Consc-
quently she was willing TO try for anoth-

claimants TO Tho we'll located I leee of bot
tom land on which she has filed she has
priority and is likely TO hold it.
She was not quito so shrewd, however.
as tho woman who locked mp the law pass
cd by congress, which provides that citi-
zens who have fragments of claims in
Oklahoma proper, north of the Deep fork
or the Cimmaron, may settle tho balance
of their 100 acre allowance across the riv
er in the kickapoo country. This wom-
an, widow named Silgerly, formerly of
Iowa, was perhaps the only boomer who
saw tho possibilities of the provision. She
hunted up the Oklahoma survey and
found a half aero tract in a bend of tho
Deep fork which belonged to no other
claim. With all due formality she filed
ON it, paying charges, which made it cost
her SIS, and then bidcd her time. When
the I<iclSGpoo opening came, she calmly
claimed 1891 acres of rich land across tho

Probably tho sharpest bit of maneu-

principal. 1t was newspaper woman,
too-not n representative of a big press
association nor even n special correspond

and proprietor of an Oklahoma weekly pa

report to it ahead of all others. She had
arranged with the driver of the stage from
the point on tho Canadian side to leave for
"a telegraph station as soon as tho rush had
started. But this was precisely what a
dozen active young mon representing tho
press associations and city papers wanted.
When she started for the wagon, they fol-
lowed and tumblcd in behind. The team
was put ON tho run, and tic womans
quick wit was put into use to serve her
purpose.
She had the advantage of knowing 10
country, and when she advised the driver
to tako a cut off no did so unhcsitatingly.
They went on q mile and then ended in

lcaped out and gathering high her skirts
started through the timber. They were
but few rods from a telegraph office, but
the bright young men did not know it,
and when Is minutes later they reached
the counter they found the slow motioncd

One evening not long ago yellow car
was jolting along West Ninth street, and
just as it had bumped over the mule car
tracks on Broadway well dressed young

The gripman threw his levers this wa

Between the young mans lips was an

When the car had fully stopped, tho

A NOVEL

A singular spectacle was pre-
sented yesterday before Com
missioner W. P. Lane, who is
taking dispositions in the con-
tested election cases of Person
and Herring VS. Munroe and Ed
wards when Commissioner Lane
ruled that he would proceed to
take the dispositions on behalf of
Person and Herring in the alb
sence Of Messrs. Munroe and
Edwards, who are in Raleigh
performing their duties as mem
bers Of the House.
Counsel for Messrs. Munroe
and Edwards insisted that de-
positions SO taken would be lille
gal, on the ground that sections
2847 and 2S48 of the code re-
quired, under penalty, the pres
ence Of those gentlemen in Ra-
leigh and thereby prevented their
attending here before the COM
missioner, that they had a right
to be present personally at the
taking Of the dispositions but that
their duties as members of the
House prevented.
The counsel cited numerous de-
cisions of the Supreme court by
Chief Justice Pearson and Chief
Justice Smith to the effect that
dispositions taken while one Of
the parties to any action was in
attendance at court were illegal.
The counsel for Munroe ano
Edwards further insisted that
the contestants haying had two
months before the GeneralAssem.
bly, met IN which Messrs. Nun
roe and Edwards could have at
tended the taking of dispositions
had now no right, after the duties
of the latter called them to Ra-
leigh, to take this deposition il
their absence.
Commissioner Lane ,over-rulee
the objection and proceeded t.
take the evidence.

10 ons ofthe moss uccessful, IN
telligent and exRtienepd manu-
facturers of textile goods in the
country-and from the great
Republican State of Pennsylva-
MIA, too-Was ore Of the speak
ers before the recent meeting of
the National Association Of Wool
Manufacturers in Boston, and in
his address he set forth with
plainness and irresistible force
the insufficiency of a protective
tariff to secure industrial indie
pendence.
The experience of a century,
says the Philadelphia Times, has
shown that a tariff alone is futile
against the competition Of supe-
rior skill.
In his speech Mr.. Search said
that we have built up a higher
tariff wall than any prince or
potencate ever dared to build, and
yet sixty millions Of textile goods
have climbed over it into our
markets, because they were bet
ter than those which we pro-
duced-and our people will have
the best.
Mr.. Search is not a free
trader" as Republicans delight
to hurl at active-minded, intelli-
gent and progressive leaders for
tariff reform. He believes in the
policy of protection as an aid OF
encouragement to native effort.
But he perceives from actual OBJ
servation, that, in spite of duties,
the best goods will command the
market and that the real compe-
titiOn our textile manufacturers
have to fear is not from chedl
labor, bat from educated labor,
that it is not the price but the
quality and beauty that carry the
day. And the real way to meet
this competition successfully is
not by building the tariff wal.
higher, but by making our own
manufactur S equal, if not supe-
rior, to those made elsewhere.
How is this to be accom-.
plished?
1t is very simple: BY building
up the quality Of our own labor
training up a body of indus.
trial artists, familiar with all the
principles and processes Of dye.
ing, weaving, designing and fin.
ishing, and capable of producing
or directing the production of.
fabrics that will rival, in beauty
of design, in excellence Of mate.
rial and texture, in ineness anc
durability and adaptibility tc
their purposes, any Of those six.
ty millions Of foreign goods that
annually climb over our high
tariff wall.
If We could do this we would
not need the protective tariff.
Then why not do it?
Why whimper for projection
instead of striking out for the
attainment of that perfection
that leads competition and ere.
ates the survival of the fittest':
The deliberate judgment of sc
experienced a manufacturer as
MIR. Search is given additional.
weight by the fact that he has
put his belief into practice.
