New York BRYAN Clubs.

NEW YORK, April A Representatives
of 100 clubs that supported Bryan and
Sewall met today and organized the
Progressive Democratic League of New
York City. 1t is estimated that aside
from the single tax clubs and the labor
organizations which took part in the
campaign there were 200 Bryan and
Sewall clubs organized. While only
half of the clubs were represented
today, the leaders of the movement say
that the other 100 and the 70 clubs not
distinctively of Bryan and Sewall
nature will fall in line as soon as the
officers of the organization are com
municated with.
The leaders claim for these in
dependent organizations the casting of
the bulk of the vote for Bryan and
Sewall, believe that the new movement
will assume immense proportions and
that the independent vote cast next fall,
if political circumstances should make
it necessary for such vote to be cast,
will exceed the vote cast for Henry
George in 1886 6s, 100. The convention
adopted a declaration of principles
affirming allegiance to the national
Democratic platform in 1895.
IL was announced that if the Greater
New York bill becomes law the
league will consolidate with the
Brooklyn Democratic League. When
the officers are elected the league will
apply for a charter from the state
league of Democratic clubs.

The Territory Survey.

From the Fort Smith Times Democrat
The cessation of work of the survey
of the Indian Territory was caused by
the failure of Mr.. Cleveland to sign the
appropriation bills. The following
from the South McAlester Capitol
indicates that work will soon be
resumed:
Mr.. G. II. Fitch, topographer in
Charge of the United States survey,
returned Tuesday from Washington
city.
1t is probable that full force of
surveyors will be started out within the
next ten days. as the appropriation bill
has passed the house and will pass the
senate in all probability this week
There are still to be surveyed in the
Indian Territory l39 townships. in the
Choctaw and Cherokee nations. These
townships will have to be sectionized
and it will take the most of the summer
TO complete the survey.
The excellent work of the Office and
field force has been highly commended
by the department at Washington. and
when the work is accomplished the
Iudian Territory will be the best
surveyed body of land in the United
States. The work has been so thorough
that there will never arise any cause for
controversy in any particular, The
survey is worth millions of dollars to
the FIVE tribes and it has not cost them
o cent.

THE mandate affirming the conviction
of Dennis Davis, for murder, has been
received and filed in the U. S. court at
Fort Smith. Davis is a half witted
gingerbread negro, and killed his land
lord, Sol Blackwell. near Eufaula, in
the fall of 1894. Davis shot Blackwell
from ambush on account of quarrel
between them in which Blackwell used
language which Davis construed to be a
threat against his life. Davis has
always appeared to think he had done
nothing more than he had right to do,
and surrendered to the officers soon
after the shooting Davis attorneys
plead insanity for the old negro and
succeeded in getting the first conviction
set aside on account of Judge Parker S
instructions ON insanity.

Keller, of Fort Smith, secretary and
treasurer, The board of managers are
A. II. Harrison, Van Buren,; j. E.
Keller, Fort Smith, and J. L. Rea,

the gathering and marketing of the crop
as well as supervise the cultivation of

Daughters of the Confederacy.

Mary Lee Chapter, Daughters of the
Confederacy, met in regular monthly
meeting at Mrs. Geo. Austin S last
Friday afternoon. A goodly number
were present and the meeting was
mainly devoted to discussing the
interests of the order. The proposed
monument came in for large share of
the discussion, and the secretary, Miss
Clegg, reported that the fund was
growing in a most gratifying manner
through the medium of the dime books,
it having reached the sum of about 5000.
The first Tuesday after Lent it is pro-
posed to give the Shakesperean Enter
tainment, preparations for which had
been made some time since, but which
had then to be abandoned for various
causes. 1t is hoped to make quite a
nice addition to the fund with the
money taken in at this entertainment.
Further particulars of the entertain
ment will be given out later through
the papers.

The Good Times Promised.

r rum tue W uhHlnRtOn fOsL
Elk Representative Joseph c.. Sibley,
of Pennsylvania, who during his
career in the Fifty Third congress
impressed himself on the nation as one
of the ablest and most eloquent
advocates of silver, was seen in the
lobby of the Shoreham last evening.
He is in the finest health, and remarked
to Post reporter that he enjoyed
coming to Washington, but preferred
coming in his present capacity as a
private citizen, than participate in
national legislation when the majority
in congress was imbued with such
different theories of governmental
policy from those he entertained.
But l sincerely trust, . said Mr..
Sibley, THAT the Republicans will be
able to make good their platform
pledges and give prosperity to the
country. If they do they will remain
in control not only for four years, but
for forty, perhaps, if their legislation is
productive of continued good results.
If they do not they will hear from the
people in 1900. For myself, l doubt
their ability to redeem the pledges
made in 1896. l do not think that a
nation can be made prosperous by
taxation any more than an individual
can, and say this as one who never
held to the dogma of free trade, but
always advocated tariff that would
provide sufficient revenue to meet the
national expenses and adjusted so as to
confer equal to all the people. But of
what benefit is the tariff if the great
agricultural sections are not able to buy
the products of the manufacturer No
doubt on the enactment of the law
many fires will be lighted in furnaces
now idle, and things will hum for
awhile at least in many mills and
factories.
This will come about, and yet in
the Mississippi Valley wheat will
remain at 35 cents a bushel, lard
cents pound, and in the South cotton
will bring to the planters but cents
pound. How can these toiling husband
men, with such beggarly prices, pay
for the things that are needful to be
consumed. and how can prosperity
come if they have not the means of
purchaser
THE financial qestion is at the
root of all our troubles. and until it is
settled l do not see how there can be
any permanent improvement.
lone of the most effective speeches
made in behalf of Mckinley was by
Senator Quay at Pittsburg, in which he
gave his promise that within ninety
days after the election of the Repub-
lican ticket steps would be taken to
bring about international bimetallism.
There is an element in the Republican
party strongly in favor of this policy,
but a larger and more powerful element
will never agree to anything but the
single gold standard. England, too,
will always block the way to an agree
ment by the nations, for being the great
creditor country she will never consent
to get one bushel, one pound, one ton
where she now takes two from
tributary countries and thus there is
left us but one way out and that is to
adopt singly and Independently the
bimetallic system which will ultimately
make of the United States the richest
and most powerful nation on the face of
the earth.
