Judge KHeOre Takes a Hand In the Case
OF An Intermarried Citizen Convict
ed In the Indian Court.

Tate Merriman an intermarried
Chickasaw was recently convicted in
the Indian court at Tishomingo of
the theft of a steer from another in
tcrmarried citizen and was sentenc-
ed to thirty-nine lashes on the bare
back, the logging to be administered
tomorrow. BY a recent turn of af-
fairs the sentence will not be execut-
ed on time, unless perchance the In
dian authorities refuse to recognize
the mandate OF Judge Kilgore issued
today and placed in the hands of
Deputy Booker for service. Merri-
mans attorney last night made ap-
plication for Il writ of habeas corpus
which was granted by Judge Kilgore,
commanding the Indian officers to
produce the body of the condemned
prisoner before him tomorrow morn
ing and show cause for his detention.
The question involved is that dis

result will be watched with much in

THE SITUATION.
A Reply From an IntermsrrIed Citizen
Anent the Law Relative to the
IntermarrIed Citizens.
ARDMoRE, Nov. 4 1895.


The Pauls Valley correspondent of
the ARDMoREITE of the 18th inst. is
surprised that ne intermarried citi-
zen of Ardmore should, upon waking
from their dreams of congress swoop-
ing down on the Indian and forcing
him to comply with the treaties, be
aroused into taking action on law
passed by the Legislature of 1890, five
years ago.
We have been expecting the Indian
to protect the intcrmarried citizen in
his right acquired III good faith and
thought the Indian was our friend
and would protect US, but since that
law of 1890 has been passed and never
changed or amended rs the CORES
pondent says, We are OF the opin-
ion that the effort of the Indian leg
islature is to deprive us of our rights
guaranteed to US by treaty.
If the Indian wants to act fairly and
protect US who have been his friend,
and if they have passed law which
is dead letter." why don't they
repeal it? Why was such a bill ever
passed ? Did they mean what they
said when they passed law depriv-
ing US of all rights whatever Why
did the governor approve the bill if
they didn't mean it to become law?
Did the legislature know that law and
many others they have passed were
unconstitutional
The passage of that bill plainly
shows what the Indian would do for
US if he could. That's why SO much
interest is taken in the old bill. The
Indian will "do us" if he can, and
we don't propose to be ''dOne." ;"
That's why we are going to have a
convention and form an association
to protect ourselves and to ask con-
gress to assist us in getting our treaty
and constitutional rights.

Protection ond Socialism

Mr.. Bayard in the long years of his pub
lie service has never given expression in
such clear and forcible eloquence to his
views of the danger of state protectionism,
so brief and so clear-ringing are his words
that they could well be posted at the head
of the column OF every true Democratic
newspaper. The truth of his assertions is
familiar to every one who possesses the
barest knowledge of the nature and meth
DDS and results of the tariff legislation of
the United States. The inequality of for
tune in our country has sprung direct from
the special class legislation of the past
quarter Of a century, and today it is the
greatest menace to our national and So
ciai life, engendering the spirit of antag-
onism between two classes which are mu-
tually dependent upon each other for en-
istence. The scramble for the benefits
OF legislation action has practically
put up at auction the favorable de-
cision Of congress to be bid for by
localities with fostered industries which
have promised in exchange liberal SUBJ
scriptionS to campaign funds and unlim-
tied votes. The success of the more extern
slve and more prominent interests in this
work has contaminated the smaller until,
without regard to the intrinsic merits of
the case OF one or another, the success of
these political combinations of beneficiar-
les of national legislation has created in
the public mind generally rapid growing
belief that distressed or unsatisfactory oc-
equations or industries are entitled all
alike to governmental aid. As result the
public conscience no longer is capable of
measuring the justice of the claims of in
diyidual cases to receive attention, but
each and all applicants consider that pre-
cedent entities them to whatever iargess
they may succeed in securing. And as
long as protective tariff exists from its
very nature it implies discriminating rate
of taxation and an unequal degree of bene-
fit to protec ed manufacturers, a condition
which leads to corruption, to preference
and to distinction, all of which excite from
year to year more dangerous hostility
among the masses of the people against
the aggregations of capital which are neces-
sary to certain ndustries.-Albuquerqu
Democrat.

The Truth About Woo!

Press kilograms report that the ways
and means committee of the house has
in contemplation revising the tariff and inn
posing duty on wool. 1t is to be regretted
that this tariff question will be brought to
the front at the present time. yet the coun-
try's revenue seems inadequate TO meet
current expenditures, and with this the
case it is quite evident that something must
be done to increase it. Watcher wool
should be restored to the dutiable list is a
debatable proposition. There is no deny
ing that its market value has been forced
down to low ranges, still it is to be doubted
ii taritl will raise prices much, if any,
which. for the interest of the wool industry
is to be regretted by all true Americans.
Those who have given attention to the
markets for WOO, at home and abroad are
well aware that they have been largely
controlled by factors brought into life
through high prices for WOODEN goods. The
incentive TO make imitation WOODEN dress
goods has been so strong that mauutac-
turers did all in their power to bring them
TO perfection in many respects. For this
purpose inventors of improved machinery
turned their attention to manufacturing
machinery to consume shoddy and for
turning out the imitation goods, and with
great success. From n consumption de-
mand of 10000 pounds about TWO decades
ago there is now used over 200, 100000
pounds: some even place the figures very
couelueraDly ulGner. IEiS large use OF
shoddy in the manufacture of imitation
WOODEN dress goods is due to the improve
ments made in the manufacture of the
latter.
1t is well established fact in trade cir
Giles that close imitation of genuine WOODEN
dress goods are sold at considerably less
than one-half of what the latter can be
sold. So close is the imitation that it is
with difficulty the inexperienced can tell
the difference. Not only this, but in wear
ing quality they last longer, with price con-
sidered. than the genuine, provided the
better grades of the imitation have been
bought. Then it is not to be wondered at
that shoddy is consumed to such a large
extent, and every pound consumed lessons
just so much the demand for wool.
With this the case is it not reasonable to
assert that a duty on wool will not have
the desired effect. 1t will most undoubt-
eddy stimulate the production of imitation
wooden dress goods and be instrumental in
still further decreasing the demand for
genuine dress goods, thereby lessening the
consumption of wool. This tariff question
is such two-sided affair that it is difficult
for novices to understand; even those en-
gagged in the business are far from unit
on it.-Oakland Times.
