Mr. Little Of Arkansas Introduces a IBII
In Congress For the CrestionofC -rts-
at Marietta and Oakland.

On last Wedneday Congressman
Little of Arkansas, introduced in
the house a bill ostensibly for the
purpose of creating two more courts
in this, the southern district OF the
Indian Territory. OF course his OBJ
ject is clearly apparent and requires
no discussion to encompass its de-
feat. 1t was not introduced TO pass,
hence il is not to be considered seri-
ously. We wouldn't mind seeing
Marietta and Oakland get courts
and would say amen to the PROPOSE
ton if we thought there was even a
remote probability of such being the
result. Ii is to direct the attention
of our people from Mr.. Little's Paris
and Fort Smith bill, that this was
thrown in as he thought, for a dis
turbing element. The bill is as fol-
lows:
BILL.
To amend the act providing for the
appointment of additional judges
in the Indian Territory, and for
other purposes.
Be il enacted by the senate and
house of representatives OF the Uni
ted States of America in congress
assembled, That the act entitled 'An
act to provide for the appointment
of additional judges Of the United
States court in the Indian Terrisory,
and for other purposes" be, and
the same amended, in so far as il
fixes the places for holding courts
in the southern district in the In
dian Territory, so as to read as fol-
lows:
1.-The southern district shall con-
sist of all the Chickasaw country,
and the places Of holding courts in
said district shall be at Ardmore,
Marietta, Purcell, Oakland, Pauls
Valley, Ryan and ChIckasha, and the
courts Of said district shall be held at
each of such places an equal number
of times each year"
Sec. 2. That this act be in force
and take effect from and after its
passage.

ROOD. McCallister, Patterson, Athey,
Randolph and Schnaufer-they are the
gentlemen on the Republican ticket of
Washington county, asking your sup
port tomorrow.
Is there any reason why you cannot
support them? Are they not all square,
capa BILE men, entitled by fitness to the
places to which they are aspirapts?
All of these gentlemen but Mr.. Nc
Callister are ur for reelection; and
their records in Office as men capable
in the highest degree of filling the posi-
tions is unquestionably good. Mr.. Nc
Callister is by no means stranger to
the duties of the Office of Sheriff, for he
has shown hearty activity in his
work as Deputy Sheriff under Mr.. Dye,
having had experience in every line OF
the work.
Our ticket is composed of sound lot
of men, between whom there is the
heartiest good feeling, and whose
service to party and to good principles
is beyond argument.
There is no half-breed confusion to
our ticket 1t is straightout Repub-
lican ticket having on it men who are
eminently able to hold down their
places when elected to them.
Help roll up big vote for the Re-
publican ticket-in fact, see how near
we can come to making it unanimous.

NGvApA's TWO Ex-coLDBuGs.
Senator Jones Was Every iuch Gold

Senator Jones Was Every tuch Gold
- Man In i1SI
Nevada's two senator's are now us hot
for silver as any two men In the United
States. No one would suppose from the
way that Senators Jones and Stewart
now denounce "goldbugs," "Shylocls,"
"Wnll street sharks" "crime of '73,"
etc. that both OF these gentlemen not
only voted for the "crime of '73" in the
senate in 1878, but that both were then
the two most pronounced goldbugs in
this country. Millions Of copies OF
pamphlets and cards containing quota
tions from the speeches of Senator
Stewart in 1874 are in circulation, and
nearly every sound money newspaper
has printed extracts from these
speeches. Senator Jones was also one
of the conspirators who decapitated
silver in 1878. He had not repented in
1874. as is evident from his eulogy of
gold invthe senate in April, 1874. He
then said in part:
Gold is the articulation of commerce.
1t is the most potent agent of civiliza-
tion. 1t Is gold that has lifted the nations
from barbarism. 1t has done more to or
ganIze society, to promote industry and in
sure its rewards, to inspire progress, to
encourage science and the arts, than gun
powder steam and electricity. The use Of
gold had its origin In the necessities Of
mankind. The human heart Is set upon It.
1t will command the proper services of
everybody at all times and In all places.
The necessities which compel Its use are as
inexorable to-day as they were at the be-
ginning, although improved systems of ex-
change have diminished the proportionate
volume necessary to do the work.
80 exact measure Is It to human effort
that when It Is exclusively used as money
1t teaches the very habit Of honesty. It
neither deals in nor tolerates false pre-
lenses. 1t cannot lie. 1t keeps its promises
to rich and poor alike. While 1t has seen
human institutions perish and human
governments crumble and decay. 1t Is It.
self imperishable. The gold that was in
Solomon's temple possessed the same quail
tiles as the gold dug to-day from the sands
Of Africa. The gold Of California and the
gold Of Australia are precisely the same.
1t defies the corroding hand of time and
the friction of ages. 1t Is the common de-
nominator of values. 1t makes possible
the classification of labor and the equitable
interchange of commodities Gold has in
tervened in the bargains made between
men since the dawn of civilization, and 1t
has never failed to faithfully fulfill its
part as the universal agent and servant Of
mankind"

They Tried to Break up the Meet
ing.

ing.
Senator Dana and Judge Leeper held
one of the mast enthusiastic meetings
at Newport Village Saturday evening
that has been held in that part of the
county by either party during the pres
ent campaign. The Republicans were
out in force and many Democrats were
present, the most of whom were order
ly and attentive, but few of the Popo-
Gratis present, led by their local Rip
Van Wrinkle and his two kid statesmen,
a trio who showed themselves to be
possessed of more brass than brains
seemed intent on breaking up the
meeting by their disorderly and un-
gentlemanly conduct. One of their CO.
laborers from West Virginia reminded
us very forcibly that you never saw a
struttlng dude who needed any gall,
you never saw Demopop who didn't
know it ALL"
The speakers were equal to the occa-
sion and held the fort until a late hour.
They promptly met all the interroga-
tories and prorounded and disposed of
them in such calm and gentlemanly
manner that they completely van
quished their disturbers, and when the
meeting closed the better class of
Democrats were heartily ashamed OF
the treatment given the speakers by
their local party managers.

THE POLITICIAN.

There is an entire absence of nervous
ness among republicans over the result
of the election. That is because they
are perfectly confident that the election
of Mckinley and Hobart is assured.
This confidence was born, not of vision
ary hopes, but of a complete knowledge
of the situation so far as it can be
movable in advance, obtained through
trustworthy sources in every state.
There are still several states in which
there is still an element of doubt, be.
cause of the failure of a considera BILE
number of voters to declare in advance
how they will vote, but even if every
one of these should be carried by Bryan
it would not affect the result. There
are enough absolutely certain states,
in which majority of the voters have
declared their intentions to vote the
republican ticket, to elect Mckinley
and Hobart by majority in the neigh.
borhood of fifty electoral votes So
too, there are enough Congressional
districts which are absolutely certain
to elect republicans to give the repub-
icans the control of the next House by
majority that will not fall far short
of that in the present House.
The chances seem to favor the cleo
tion of enough republican Senators to
give the republicans control of the
Senate after the 4th of next March,
but it is not, like the Presidency and
the House, certainty. That is the
only regretable thing about the situa.
tion. If the republicans cannot con-
troll the Senate without the votes ot
the silver republicans who prevented
the passage of the House bill providing
the necessary revenue to run the gov
ernment at the last session of Congress
and later bolted the National conven
tion, there will be a doubt about the
legislation of the next Congress tina
may lessen the extent of the business
boom that is going to follow the elec
tion of Mckinley, and that would be {
misfortune, indeed, as the country
needs all the business it can possibly
get.
1t is somewhat amusing to follow tn,
efforts of the betting men to max,
some money out of the election on thei

that Mckinley is a sure
winner. They have offered odds as
high as five and six to one that McKin-
ley will be elected, but have not sue
ceeded in placing much money, and
during the last week it has been prac-
tically an impossibility for them to
coax any Bryan money out. They are
now offering even money to any
amount that Bryan's entire vote in the
electoral college will not be as large as
McKinley's majority, and there are no
takers.
The popocrats are trying hard to
keep up brave front aud to pretend
that they have information which
causes them to be confident of Bryan's
election, but they are not succeeding in
fooling nybody, and some of them ad-
init in private conversation that while
they still hope that Bryan will be
elected they do not believe that he will
be. Others among them are already
trying to discount the defeat of Bryan
by charging that the republicans are
preparing to buy votes by wholesale
and other ridiculous things.
The Secretary of the silver party
National committee practically ad-
mitted his belief that Bryan and silver
would lose in this campaign when he
allowed it to become known that his
committee was making arrangements
to establish headquarters in New York
city, for the purpose of continuing the
agitation in behalf of silver after the
election. If his committee believed
that Bryan and silver majority Of the
House were going to be elected they
would not be bothering about future
agitation, because they would then
know that the free coinage of silver
would be an accomplished fact within
80 days after Bryan's Inauguration. 1t
is because they know that Bryan and
silver are beaten that this committee is
arranging for future agitation.
The cat IS out of the Watson bag.
The reason that Senator Butler, chair
man of the populist National commit
tee, suppressed Tom Watson's letter of
acceptance is that Watson, in that let
ter, made the direct charge that Sena-
tor Jones, chairman of the democratic
National committee, promised before
either Watson or Bryan was nominated
by the populist National convention
that if the convention would nominate
Bryan and any populist he would guar
antee that Sewall should be taken
down and the populist nominated for
Vice President be put upon the demo-
cratic ticket in his place, and further
that the promise would probably have
been kept had not Sewall bought his
retention on the Bryan ticket with a
campaign contribution of 100000. He
also makes it plain that he thinks the
populists have been sold out by Sena.

The National Banks.

1t is curious fact that the people
OF no country except this object to,
or find fault with paper currency is
sued by banks. All other commercial
countries but this, or nearly all, use
bank paper as circulating medium,
and have no tronble with it. They
know nothing about the difficulties
such as this country has long had with
its greenback circulation.
This country long ago provided by
law for bank notes which have been
an absolute security to those who
have held them, No holder has ever
lost dollar by them since they came
into use, and yet they have been stead
lily opposed by one of the great parties
and by that one which, when it was in
power, gave the people a system of
bank notes on which nearly everybody
lost.
If the national banking system could
be SO surrounded with safeguards as
to give the depositor as great security
as it has given to their note holders it
would be an admirable system.-

The Work of the Waters

The first rains of Importance this
fall, which fell during last week, de-
veloped torrent of water in most of
the streams flowing into the sound
and did considerable damage.
SUNDAY the waters were at their
height. The Skagit, Snohomish rivers
rose from Is to 81 feet above ordinary
mark and flooded their valleys. The
river at Snohomish was the full width
of the valley, about six miles, and
many OF the farmers on lower grounds
had to take to higher grounds. Rail-
road and wagon bridges were damaged
or washed away and railroad commune
cation was stopped until repairs could
be made. Both the N. P, G. NJ, and
c.. P. railroads had many miles of track
damaged so that repairs were neces-
sary before travel could be resumed,
and the boats on the Sound are reap
ing harvest of passenger traffic. The
wires of nearly all lines were down and
the Sound was isolated from the rest
OF the world for several days.
The river at Portland also reached a
considerable heighth, and traffic all
along the coast was delayed consider
ably. The storm moved Eastward
this week, and is now paying it's re-
spects to our friends all along the line
to the Atlantic.

As Professor Suess Sees 1t.

In his bid for nomination in 1900,
issued in the form of an address, Mr..
Bryan repeatedly uses the term bime-
tallism, carefully avoiding until the
very last sentence the use of the term
free coinage at the ratio of 16 to l,
his assumption being that his recent
candidacy was in the interest of bime-
tallism. It is noticeable, however,
that the European cham pions of a
double standard regard his defeat as
a triumph fer their cause. The Eng
lish Bimetallic League took their view
of the case first, and now Professor
Suess of Vienna, the recognized leader
of that cause on the continent of
Europe, is out in an article indorsing
that view.
There is good sense in this opinion.
It is not theory, but fact, that
there is not free-silver country on
the globe which is not on a single
silver basis. Facts are stubborn things
It is idle to theorize about a PROPOSE
ton which has been demonstrated.
The geometrical proposition that the
square of the hypotenuse of a right
angled triangle equals the sum of the
squares Of the two other sides is not
a subject of speculative inquiry. 1t
admits of proof so irrefutable as to
preclude guess work. There is the
reason the genuine bimetalists the
world over regard Bryan's defeat as
their victory.
The practical effect, as regards in
ternational bimetallism, of the election
of Mckinley remains to be seen.
Much may depend upon the way the
Republican party redeems its pledge
to promote international bimetallism,
although from the nature of the case
no one nation can absolutely deter
mine the success or failure of the
movement. Professor Suess declares
that the bin etallic movements in
Europe is extending. That may be,
but no one can tell how far that extern
sion will go. The Republican party
is pledged to the cause, but has not
made itself responsible for the actual
result.-Cnicago Inter Ocean.

On account of the prevalence of the
canker and other disease of similar
character, it seems to be altogether
best to spray fruit trees soon after the
leaves fall So far as we now know
this is only season of the year when
spraying is of much use as preventive
OF the canker or black spot. The
diaease seems to start at this time of
the year and unless the germs can be
killed before they begin to develop in
the tree, spraying will do little good.
The Bordeaux mixture is the proper
spraying compound for this work
