THE clash of authority yesterday
as to which court should have
prior right of possession to a
prisoner who happens to be want
ed, thengh for seperate Offenses in
both the courts here and that at
Paris, is an argument in favor of
but a single jurisdiction and that
resting with the local courts. AS
long. as the two jurisdictions are
maintained just such clashes will
come up. The fact that men have
to be transported to an adjoining
state for trial is all outrage within
itself but when it comes to the
maintenance of two distinct sets of
officers each anxious for their
jurisdiction to be given preference
resulting as it did yesterday, the
dual system becomes absolutely
dangerous. September next will
put a quietus on such happenings.
-
SENATOR BERRY has introduced
a bill for Senator Jones to pro-
vide. further security to persons and
property in the Indian Territory, I"
that vests exclusive jurisdiction in
the United States courts of all con
trOversies and questions concerning
tribal lands and other tribal prop
erty, aud all other civil and crimi-
mails except those in the jurisdic-
ton of the courts at Fort Smith
and Paris. 1t also provides that
no act passed by the council of
either tribe shall be of any force
until signed by the president, and
contains a provision for allotment
of lands. This is another effort to
stave off the inevitable and tOTde-
feat the act of March, 1895, which
transfers full jurisdiction to our
courts next September. 1t must
fail. South McAlester Capital.

GOLD PLANK PREFERRED.

According to the Denver Republican
the Indiana financial plank, if adopted
by the national convention, VIII not be
acceptable to Denver Republicans. In
a discussion Of the subject it says:
The Indiana financial plank is as
heartily and unanimously repudiated
by the Republicans of Colorado and al
the other silVer-p producing states OF the
far west as the single gold standard
blanks of New York Massachusetts
and Rhode Island Indeed. as between
the two views of the money question
western Republicans would greatly pre-
fer a single gold standard plank to a

the gospel of bimetallism could be de-

Indiana plank favors silver because it
suggests the monetary use OF as much
silver as could be maintained at q.
parity with gold The country has
had a fair sample of what that means
in practice since the passage of the
repeal bill in 1898. and the bimetallists
want no more of it.
The only kind of financial plank that

Will ENTER POLITICS.
Wisconsin Labor Federation To Ah5li-
ate With the Populists.

Racine. June 13.-The second days
session of the Wisconsin State Fedora
ton of Labor developed many prob
lens of interest to union men and wage
earners in general.
BY a close vote the federation. which
has heretofore held aloOf from politics,
decided to enter the political arena,
and VIII hereafter affiliate with the
POpulsts.
An aggressive campaign was recon-
mended to be carried on this fail
against all candidates for the legisla-
ture whose party afhliations do not
furnish a guarantee for the proper en-
actmeut and enforcement of such laws.
A resolution demanding an eight hour
day was passed and the constant intro
duction of labor saving machinery was
deplored.
The Wisconsin WOrWae rts and Os-
kOsh Labor Advocate were selected as
the o1leial organs Of the federation.

Yes. I would. I know in the east it

SOME LIGHT ON DARK PLACES.

VIM. II. Curtis. washington cores
pondent of the Chicago Record is gem
orally regarded as one Of the best post
ed men in the country on current mat
ters of general interest. His statements
are therefore regarded as reliable and
his opinions as valuable.
Mr.. N. b. Eastman of Saltwater, o.
T.. asked him to make it plain how the
wages of workingmen in Mexico, Japan
and other silver-using countries have
been affected by the depreciation of
silver and what effect viii follow free
coinage in this country. Replying
through the columns of the Record he
says.
The latter inquiry calls for an
expression Of opinion, upon which the
wisest men ia the world differ widely.
The depreciation Of silver has caused
no apparent change in the wages of
workingmen in Mexico, Japan or other
aiIver-using countries. They receive
about the same amount of money for
the same kind of labor that was paid
them ten or twelve years ago. In Jap
an during the last two years, however,
there has been a noticeable increase in
all lines of industry. amounting to per-
haps 10 or u per cent. but it was due
coolies from the farms and workshops
during the war with China, and not to
any financial reasons Nor has the
deDreciati0n of silver affected the local
prices for domestic commodities in any
of the silver-using countries. The pri-
ces of corn. meat, vegetables and
pulque is the same i'm Mexico today as
it was lin 1856. except that it has varied
according to the abundance of the sup-
ply. The same is true Of rice, tea, fish
and other forms Of food and necessar-
les of life in Japan and China. But in
all the countries named the prices
of imported goods have almost
doubled. because the local currency be-
ms silver and the basis of foreign ex-
change gold all imported articles have
advanced in value as silver has gone
down.
Again. Mr.. Curtis says that in all sill
ver-using countries the prices of inn
ported goods have almost doubled.
What better protection to home indus
try could be desired than this2 What
situation could be ina gined more like
ly than this to start home manufactor-
les And that is precisely what it is
doing for Mexico and Japan, and our
good American money is going into
those factories instead of being invest
ed in a similar manner here at home
Why is this so if PRODUCTS imported
into those countries have doubled in
price? Why does the American manu-
facturers stay at home and make his
goods to sell TO silver-using countries
1t is because in those countries he can
use the money he receives for his goods
at its face value while if he brings it
away he cannot.
50 the use Of silver not only builds up
home industries but keeps the money
of the country at home and brings in
capital from abroad.

DON'T LIKE CY'S WAY.
There is Much Criticism of Leland's
Late Convention.

Boss Leland's manifest intention to
make the Republican state convention
a late one. for political effect, and his
scheme which will make delay in the
selection Of delegates to the state con
ventiOn and necessitate the holding of
two county conventions, is receiving a
good deal of condemnation. The HOl-
ton Recorder says this week editorially:
Mr.. Leland, chairman of the state
central committee, has been severely,
and we think justly, criticised for not
calling the committee together and fix
ing the basis of representation in the
state convention in time to enable the
counties to elect delegates to the vari-
Gus district conventions.
1T is suspected that Mr. Leland is
putting off the state convention to such
an unprecedented late date so as to
give him time to work up his schemes
and make his combinations to down
Governor Morrill, Mr.. Leland has
right to oppose the governors renom-
nation, but he has no right to put the
whole state to the expense and incOn-
venience of holding extra conventions
to enable him to carry out his selfish
and ambitious plans to get absolute
control of the state administrati ton.
THE Recorder believes it is time
for the Republicans of the state to call
a halt on Mr. Leland While Bosses
Plat, Quay and ClarksOn are being
taught a needed lesson, why not extend
the benefits of a little wholesome dis
ciDline to Boss Leland %

LEAGUERS RAP MORRILL,.

Policy on Prohibition

but before it did so took the OppOr-
tuniIy to rap Governor Morrill, on his
inactivity regarding the enforcement
of the prohibitory law by the adoption
of the following resolutions.
Whereas, The present situation in
regard to temperance is such as to sug-
gest danger from apathy and indiner-
ence on the part of the foes of the
liquor traffic; and,
Whereas. That power, the sworn
enemy of the home, the church and the
state, may be expected to exert itself
to the utmost degree of it's power to
reinstate the saloon; therefore be it
Resolved, First-That we recommend
the giving of occasional temperance
programmes, the holding of mass tenn
perance meetings and the circulation
of total abstinence pledges, all of which
We believe will help to create, educate
and maintain public sentiment against
the encrOachments of the liquor power
Second-We endorse the work being
done by the State Temperance union
and pledge it our hearty support.
Third-The policy of prohibition hav-
ing proved so successful that its Wig
Orous enforcement is the surest pledge
of its retention, we deplOre and con
denim the vacillating policy of our pres
ent governor and call upon all good cit
liens to elect such men to executive

The absurdity Of the talk about the

Illustrated by the San Francisco Cau in
the following taken from its editorial

To maintain parity between gold

How can the parity OF the metals be

in gold and VIII pay nothing to its
creditors but gold? The people are

out gold as the nations money Of re-

Of the treasury department it has no
way to get gold except by buying it
with bonds What matters it how high
taxes and revenue duties are if the
government will not pay it's debts with
the silver and paper money it thus re-
ceives2 And what does it profit the
people TO have its government borrow
gold to pay it back with interest ad-
ded?
To be sure, if a creditor prefers silver
or paper money, the treasury viii give
him the kind he asks for. but it must

tary Carlisle says it is not money in it.

Of maintaining parity between gold
and silver What a humbug of a fin

Now, the people. densely ignorant as
they are. according to Cleveland's esti-
mate of them have an idea that the
parity Of the metals can be maintained
only by making them interchangeable
by the government reservfng the right
to make its obligations payable either
in gold or silver at it's own option. The
treasury reports that it has nearly $780,
