If there was a cable under the Pac'hc
ocean Mr.. Depew's epigram could make
a circuit of the world complete by long
dive under the sea to San Francisco but
that cannot be done. So the message
will rebound on its trail, and by run
ming along the east coast o. Africa reach
Care Town. Then it will jump to Lisbon
again and start across the Atlantic
ocean to Pernambuco, Brazil. south
America will be the last continent
touched, and with one more flash under
the seas it will be back in New York.

New York Sun on Proctor.

Senator Proctorof Vermontis the most
solemn looking man in the United States
Senate, and yet he has dry VIII ana
keen sense of humor. When he smiles he
smiles all over, but just before he does So
his face assumes a look so solemn that 1t
would frighten children. A colleague, IN
explaining this popularity in the Vermont
senator the other day. said it was due
largely to the fact that he derived MS
wealth largely from the manufacture OF
gravestones, as he was the head OF
great marble quarry corporation. This
being a very solemn business, 1t was In
cumbent upon Senator Proctor to look
sad and serious, but the source OF his
great wealth being the consumption OF
grave stones, it was almost impossible
for him not to smile when any one died
who would need monument. Inc SELL
ator's smile therefore was like that OF the
observation-disclosures preceded by look
OF Soltmnlty.
Senator Proctor's recent speech in the
senate on seacoast delenses, in which he
pointed out The 4 protected condition OF
the tidewater cities from the view OF
military expert, is having phenomenal
run of popularity. The senator's daily
mail is enlarged Unfortunately with re-
quests for copies, and although the speech
was delivered only on Feb. 27, almost
100000 copies of it have been distr1p'
uted. 1t seems to find acceptance IN all
parts OF the country as the beststatement
of the situation that has yet appeared
The senator's study of the subject While
Secretary of War in the Harrison cabinet
and the close attention he has given II
since have enabled him to speak perhaps
more closely "by the card" than any o
the other statesmen who in this session
have discussed the nationa need OF forth
cations.

COMING TO THEIR SENSES.

The News has been actuated by
no spirit OF low and malicious cum
ming in its criticism upon the ac :
tions of Delegate Douglas. 1t has
simply endeavOred to point Out in
vigorous terms the harm that l.r.
Douglas will do if he persists in
ignoring Delegate Saye~s and the
other towns os the Territory. III
his Letters have been directed to
the press and personal friends in
Ardmore, to the neglect of every
other town in the Territory. All
his public utte1ances have con
cerned Ar2r ore-and Ardmore
alone. notwithstanding this state
of affairs the News believes with
the ARDMOREITG chat what will
benefit Ardmore will have a similar
effect upon every other town in
the Territory. Mr.. Douglas is
now short of funds. Without
money he can accomplish nothing.
The people of Pauls Valley
ought to contribute something to
the payment of Mr.. Douglas ex-
penses. They have already col
lected $40. Let this amount be
trebled and sent on TO Washing
ton Immediately. BY so doing.
Pauls Valley will show to the
people Of the Territory that there
is nothing small about her. If
Douglas achieves anything, wheth-
er it be for Ardmore alone or the
entire Nation, Pauls Valley will
enjoy some of the crumbs. But it
will take money to accomplish
townsite legislation. Let us res
pond to Delegate Douglas call
quickly and generously.-Pauls

once had a poet who had missed hi
calling and become marble cutter. Be
low are some specimens of his famous
"rhyming epitaphs, :" samples of which
are still to be seen in the little cemetery
adjoining the town mentioned:
Here lies in silent clay
Miss Arabella Young,
Who on the twenty first Of May
Began to ho,A her tongue.
Here lies the wife of Simon Stokes,
Who lived and died like other folks.
Here l lie, and no wonder I'm dead.

Here lies John Hill, man Of skill.

he never did good, nor never would
Had he lived as long again.
