1t is a most common thing for a
statesman to be between the devil and
the deep blue sea, but Judge Little,
our dashing and popular Congressman
from the Second District, is just now
in a closer place than could be devised
by the combination of his satanic
majesty and the deep he is
between the countless and demonstratiye
legions of temperance on one side and a
horde of bowling Indians on the other
side.
Judge Little principal diversion just
now is ia opening bulky letters and
officially signed and sealed resolutions,
lauding to the skies and bidding him
God speed in his crusade against the
Capitol saloon and then In the next
mail receiving notification of the
affection of the noble red man, as
evidenced by that time honored custom
of burning in efigy.
Judge Little's course in the present
Congress in relation to Indian Territory
affairs has been one of surprising vigor
and courage, and it is not surprising
that there should be some demonstration
like the one at Fort Gibson. /. T, the
other day, prompted and led by those
who see the end of their career Of
plumber drawing to speedy close.

dhEelle correspondence.
Mr.. Terry has just secured the
passage of his bill To provide that
United States railroad corporations
shall, for purpose of jurisdiction, be
deemed citizens of the respective states
into which their line of railway may
extend. -
The bill reads as follows
THAT all railroad corporations
organized or incorporated under or by
virtue of any laws Of the United States
shall, for all purposes of jurisdiction,
be deemed citizens and corporations of
the respective states into which their
line of railway or any branch or spur
thereof may extend. or in which any
such corporation may conduct or carry
on any business and the service of
process upon such corporations may be
made according to the laws of the
respective state in which suit shall be
brought.
The Committee on Judiciary, in
reporting the bill to the House, made
the following argument in favor Of the
passage of the bill
1--WE believe that the people residing
along the line of the roads of the
corporations named in the bill ought to
be enabled to assert their right against
such corporations in the local courts,
without, as is now sometimes the ease,
being compelled to resort to tribunals
often hundred or more miles distant
from their homes. The rights of such
corporations to same being also secured
by the bill, and believing also that the
right to transact business in a particular
jurisdiction should be accompanied by
the right of suing and liability to be
sued with such jurisdiction, we
recommend the passage of the bill. =

POPULIsTS TO NOTIFY BRYAN.
Question That Has Been Bothering the

Question That Has Been Bothering the
Leaders for some Time.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-The Star says:
The Star can state positively that Bryan
Is to be formally and officially notified of
the Populist nomination made at St.
Louis. Tom Watson will be notified ut
the same time. This may sound strange
In view of The statement of Chairman
Butler that Weaver and Field were not
notified four years ago, with the inference
that went with it that, despite the pro-
tests of POpulis. Bateman and others,
Bryan would not be notified. At no time
however, did Chairman Butler say in posi-.
tive words that there would be no notiGca-
ton.
1t seems, from what was gathered by Il
Star reporter, that the pressure for the
notification of the Populst nominees has
been too heavy for those opposed to such 4
course to resist, and that the managers OF
the Popuiist campaign have finally come
to the conclusion that the notification
must be made Just exactly the time for
the notification has not been decided upon
bat it is probable that the manner has
been decided on. There will Nbe no BIZ,
meeting like that in New York, but .Sen;,-
tor Allen, Of Nebraska, will write "A letter

ing them of the nomination.
