AN OKLAHOMA IDYL.

Representative james Yancy Callahan,
Of Oklahoma, is one of US. This oneness
VIII endure for one term.
Representative Callahan is a man the
sunshine of whose genius may light with
gliding glow these dark days OF Re
publican ascendeney: whose whizzing words
or wisdom sEall stay the circulation of
Reeds pnlegInatic blood and stop the
palpita tion OF that great mans pulse; whose
very breath may perhaps blow out ne
blazing gas.
Representative Callahan win remain in
Washington during the present session if
he keeps wary eye ON cable cars, Lolds
on at the curves and gets not back wards
off; if he huys not too often of tie glitter
ing bullion nodded in the form Of bric;ls 5;
if he tries not to pick too often tie walnut
shell which sheltereth the illusive rubber
ball; if he lists not to the song of sirens
and steers clear OF all those pitfalls into
which somanyothe raw, rank Representa-
tives have dropped.
Representative Callahan is so severely
simple in his tastes that he has been called
a simpleton, but this assertion has been
made by his Republican opponents, and
improper or Republican testimony.
Representative Callahan is a country n n,
having been born on farm in Dent county,
Mo-, December 9. 1852. Its, OF course,
irrelevant to state tnat Representative
Callahan is e countrymIn. yet it may be
interesting to those people who have not
met him. In 1880, according to his auto.
biography, he became involved in the
Methodist Church. Thus are his special
ties crops and gospel.
When Mr. Callahan, by some phantasie
OF fate, which. even students of the stars
dare not to tackle was chosen to succeed
MI. Dennis Timothy Flynn, it was the firm
resolve of Mr.. Callahan to walk TO Wash
ington. l { was at the earnest solicitation
of his constituent that he dgreed to use
a train He was opposed to this inStrI-
mentality of transportation because 0f its
danger, and because he has always loo:ed

OF the tcntacles OF the octopus of corporate
greed. But to the Will Of the majority lie
bowed He was willing 10 face even

The sleeping car, though, was a lux Try
which ne would not stomach. No seductive
porter could inveigle him into new

that homemade grub was sweeter than the

DON'T LIKE DE LONE.

Word comes from New York that certain
members Of the Spanish colony there have
gotten up a little insurrection of thair
own. 1t had its origin at the time Of
the assassina ton OF Canovas, when a Pc
titinn was sent from New York to NAL
rid, asking for the appointment of strong
successor TO Senior dc Lone.
The petition was drawn 50 as to alta k
Senior de LONE without mentioning LIS
name, and among the forty prOmi-
nent Spsniards who signed it We're sew
eral friends Of the minister, who lid net
see an attack upon him in the apparently
harmless recommendations The result
is bitterness among the factions almost
as strOng as the hatred OF both for the
Cubans.
The petition speaks Of the desire of the
American people for the success 9f the
Cubans and of the necessity of Spain giving
"the United states to understand that hot
only it knows how to govern its own lfl;Fs,
but that it is resolved to govern them rs iu
chooses and says:
The United states is not in good Do
sitiOn to 20 to war with Spain, because
at the first threat an awful financial
panic would ensue, cripplins all interests,
and of course this is another reason for
Spain TO peISevere in not accepting the
least medGliug in her own affairs"
The enemies of De Lone are lei by
Seniors L. +. Auja and A. TaravlIl.
They charge the minister with lack OF
foresight and weakness, with permit
ting Americans voice in Spanish af-
fairs and with bowling to the Senate.
Their opponents are led by E. Zeraus,
formerl, wee president OF the Spa lisiI
exchange.
The De Lone men say the others are
''soreheads' who are angry because De
Lone has not made nuchof them, aad hat
the petition was designed to insure the M
pointment Of minister like De Lone in
case a change was meditated.
Yes, there is serious trouble among
the members Of the Spanish colony" said
Senior Taltavull to a Correspondent 1T
is true that the petition you refer to
has beeh sent 10 Spain. Senior De LONE
has been entirely too lenient. He has
bowed too much to the whims Of the Sea-
ators iE this country and has rscGm-
mended the release OF prisoners Just to
make himself solid with the Adminisfla-
tion ut Washington. All this has caused
split tfich l do not think can ever lie
mended."
''Mr. he LONE is the right man in the
hight place" said Senor ZeraUS. Il
signed the petition under misanpre-
hension. 1t is customary to Change min
listers whenever there is II change in the
cabinet, and all | asked for was that
in case the government should see tit to
change ministers at Washington, that
man be sent here who is As able diplomat
as Senior De ONE has proved to be. There
is always more OF less trouble among
members of a colony. Mr.. De LONE is
all right

far-reaching as this, should have been
visited with so light penalty. There
is no question but that Private Hammond
deserved punishment for his conduct, but
he should have received it in a lawful
way.
The military laws governing the army
are explicit. They prescribe the duties OF
officers and enlisted men, with the penal
ties for their violation. Under them both
have rights and oblig ations. When,
therefore, an officer with the intelligence
and experience with which Capt Lowering
is credited not only violates these laws,
but exhibits such lack OF humanity
as is shown in this case, he shouldIeceiye
a more severe sentence than mere repri-
mand.
Committing such acts degrades the Off

shows unfitness for the care and Command
OF men. Under excitement nlen frequently
do things which in cooler moments they
recall with sorrow and rehret; but this
case is aggravated by the fact that after
weeks OF deliberation this officer eYinces
no regret for his wrongful acts.
And tlis appears to be all that the su-
preme national authority is able to 10 in
the face of one of the most brutal and
Infamous offenses aeinst decency and hd-
manity that ever darkened the annals of
our military establishment If the com
missioned officer were guilty Of the acts
chareec-and we have nowhere seen his
guilt denied--ti,en he is an inhuman bully
ana unfit 90 wear uniform or to associate
with men OF honor, much less to be
trusted with despotic and all but ire
sponsiblc command OF enlisted men, who
are not supposed to forfeit all the rights
of manhood simply because they are fools
enough to bind themselves for a term of
years 20 submission to insolence and heart
less treatment.
What Secretary Alger says on the sub
ject is well enough; but it is his duty
as a man, a soldier and the executive
head Of the military service, TO do as
well as TO say something. Such an Of
ficial body of apologists for torture and
blackgaard brutishness as the court-mar-
tial criticised by the Secretary ought in
stanuy t. be made an impossiblity in
the American Army. 1t has been hard
enough in the past to secure recruits from
the sober and respectable class OF citizens.
A universally advertised case like the pres
ent VIII not tend to make the task any
easier. su1 ~
Certainty shch man as Lowering shodld

There may be an impression that the
President is helpless under the circum-
stances, Perhaps he is, but Congress is
not. If we are not woefuny m:sta ken,
any officer in the military service OF the
country may be mustered out by joint
resolution OF Congress; and TO this cp-
portnnity TO purge the Army OF an atro-
cious disgrace to its fair fame we earnestly
call the attention OF the War Department
and the Military Committees of both
Houses.
