Flynn VS.. Hoke Smith.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 16.-
Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma, con-
tinues to wage war against Secre-
tary Hoke Smith. Recently he at
tackled that official in speech on
the floor Of the House, alleging
that the Secretary had appointed
relatives to positions in Oklahoma
in connection with the work of the
general land office.
Mr.. Flynn's latest move is an ef-
fort to block the confirmation OF
w. Il. Anderson, OF Kentucky, as
register OF the land office at Enid
Oklahoma. Mr.. Anderson was
formerly a chief of division Of the
Interior department, and was ap
pointed receiver last summer tc
succeed Robert W. Patterson, Of
Georgia, who was killed in a diff.
Gu ty with an editor at Enid. Mr.
Flynn bases his objection to Mr.
Anderson's confirmation on the
ground that he is an outsider, anC
he contends that residents of tn,
territory should hold the office il
accordance with the declaration o
the democratic platform.

What Are they ForP

To the LIGHT.
This question arises in my mind,
when / look out at my front gate
and view the can of trash that has
patiently waited for days the
notice Of the scavenger carts, but
those poor fellows need spectacles,
for they cannot see this tin can of
debris. They overlooked barrel
Of trash once for a month, till re-
minded by visit to the city hall,
when they found sight to see the
barrel.
There is a back alley running
by this lot, into which we have no
gate or opening, and the said alley
is the finest specimen Of "trash" OF
all kinds and description the eye
ever beheld, and so is Lexington
avenue between East Macon and
Quincy streets. l know the LIGHT
believes in sanitary measures, and
that is why / ask what is the use
OF raking our yards only to trans.
fer the dirt and offal to the front
gate, much to the annoyance oil
pedestrians who have to pass the
premises? / only ask are the trash
carts and drivers ornamental ap'
pendages for beauty, or are they fol
health and cleanliness?

Fat Fees For Railroad Receivers.

St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The three receivers Of the North
ern Pacific railroad who had been
in the Office two and a halt years
were allowed $1,000 each the other
day, or S24S,OOO in all, for their
work during that short period-work
which left the railroad in a worse con-
dition than they found it. The
monstrous wrong of such fees is
that probably not one Of the three
men who were allowed $4,000
apiece could earn $4,000 per annum
legitimately in his profession or bust
ness. And what makes it still worse
is that the fraud, for it is substantial
ly a fraud, upon the stockholders
could not be perpetrated without
the Gonnivance of the courts and Of
judges whose sole duty it is to see
Justice done between man and man.

Plumb on Silver,

The late lamented Senator Plumb
was for the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver. In his great speech
before the Senate in the early days
Of the Alliance agitation, he said:
"We are s. millions of people, soon
to be 100 million, possessing a. Oni-
nent Of immense resources, with more
intelligence and enterprise than any
other people in the world. T
AnglO-SaXOn race is bound to lead,
and the American people ought to
have primacy In the councils Of the
race. We do rot need 10 ask what
London or Germany wants. Our op-
portunity and career is before us, and
may consist in defying the policies OF
the older nations. Leadership is
more the result Of courage than that
Of tinesSe. We need the courage TO
take the first place and mark out a
policy which all the nations will be
under c0nstraint presently to follow.
We need for our own use all the silver
we have and all Europe dare to send
Us, and the more they send us the
richer we will be. The good sense,
no less than the patriotism, OF the
Senate is appealed to, to create the
broad foundation on which we can
safely build and which will make the
opportunity which our people will
gladly embrace.
LET US break whatever bands bind
us to the body of death represented by
that fixed capital which produces
nothing, which shuns the sea OF ad.

prise and which Expresses labor! 1t
is joined to its idols. Let it alone.

and upon whom the public rested
during the fateful period of the war,

he said he would leave the Republi-
