scale was adopted by the convention
which is said to be satisfactory TO nil
coal miners in the State. The scale is
based OH the Pittsburg settlement scale
and is about q per cent. below the scale
adopted by the convention held in August.
A resolution was adopted by the con-
vcntion which gives all miners the author
ity to return to work rs soon as the oper-
ators agree to pay the scale. This resolu-
ton also provides that all miners who re-
turn to work at the scale price shall con-
tribute 10 per cent. Of their wages to the
miners not working. Another resolution
was adopted which ccnsured the position
the operators of the State had taken in
not meeting with the miners to effect a
settlement of the strike in Illinois.

rHAr LONG LooKEp.roR APOLOGY

The long looked for apology from
the State Capital TO the Oklahoma
supreme court is still being looked for.
The malicious lying OF the Capital
caused the territorial Republican con-
vention 10 pass resolutions denouncing
the court for an alleged partisan de-
cision In the case Of the district clerks,
and every honest, fa,rminded man ex
poets an apology TO the court, since
every statement uttered by the Capt.
tai impugning the integrity and inn
pArtiality Of the court has been proven
TO be maliciously and dsmnably false.
In the clerks case, the United states
supreme court sustained the decision
OF the Oklahoma tribunal in reasoning
and facts. Last year the Capital as
serted and reiterated that the United
States supreme court would make
monkeys OF the oklahoma judges for
their partisan work" Since the de-
eision OF the upper court the Capital
has closed up like a clam. Beaten, its
editor placards himself as political
and moral coward. VIII he apologize2

Az no LYrroN AND LowrRy

The Saltwater Gazette has broken
oat with a running off at the mouth
disease that seems 10 be Rffiicting
the Republican press of Oklahoma
until IL threatens TO become epidemic
The Gazette devotes about three
quarters OF column to the personal
vllihcatlon OF Representative Dale
Lytton, Of Payne county.
The whole burden Of this diatribe
seems to be that Mr.. Lytton intro
duced but one measure that became a
law. The representative that only
gets in one law during a session has
dearly failed in his duty to his con
stituents, measured by the standard Of
the bloviating Gazette II also com
plains that Mr. Lytton failed to pass
law authorizing the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver at l6 TO 1, and
Also to regulate the railroads and "a
whole sring OF things" which, ac-
cording to this self-eonstituted cen
sor, he promised TO do. His crowning
infamy, however, the Gazette declares,
was his failure to make the legislature
give the Agricultural and Mechanical
college IS. 900
He compares Mr. Lytton's reception
on his return home to that OF Bob
Lowery when he came back from the
Third legislature. The Gazette con
trasts the statesmAnship OF the two
men to the great disadvantage of Mr..
Lytton, but utterly forgets to tell us
what Lowery did TO deserve this
praise. His only claim TO fame
that Tbs LEADER remembers
was his bigoted, incorporating hos.

ests, and being the humble instrument
