Has Mercy Taken Wings ?

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN 1t is only
with sentiments of the most pro-
found respect that we ever attempt
to make the action of a court of
Justice the subject of popular re
mark and what we here say in
reference to a certain ruling in a
certain criminal case, recently be-
fore our honorable United States
district court, it is hoped, will be
readily pardoned on the grounds Of
charity if nothing else.
Mercy properly regarded in
criminal adjudication, is not only
the ornament, but the strength of
Justice. There is nothing So much
honors the justice of God Almighty
as the grace that We meet with In
Jesus Christ.
There is no respect in which the
United States courts are 50 much
in danger of erring in their admin
istration of justice among the poor
er and more ignorant classes of In
dians in this territory, than in the
proper commingling of mercy with
Justice. The causes which lead to
this liability are numerous, but
too familiar in the philosophy Of
human nature to need enumera-
tion here.
Two little Uches, young Indian
men, came up to the bar Monday
to receive sentence for stealing Il
COW. They could talk neither
English nor Creek nor Cherokee
nor Latin nor Greek nor any other
tongue among the children of men
except their own little, limping
Uche. As they stood before his
honor, they knew nothing of the
law under which they had been
condemned. They had no proper
conception of what the judge was
saving, nor the lawyers, nor the
curious crowd of white men that
stood around them. Between
them and the judge, who was pro-
nouncing sentence upon them,
there was, as it were, suspended
an impenetrable vail OF mcompre-
hensibility just as dark and i'm
pervious as the night of Erebus.
1t was truly a scene TO awaken the
most pathetic sympathy. That
the sentence of the court was strict
ly Just, there can be no question /;
but what a pretty chance it was for
mercy to do honor to itself. \
reasonable term in some good be-
nignant reform school, perhaps
would have been more cOnsonant
with all the facts in this case than
two long years of hard labor in the
nentientiary. TOo-QUA-STEE.

THE FRISCO EXTENSION.

St Louis Republic
Oklahoma City, Ok, Jan. ID
The expectation here IS that
work on the Frisco extension will
be commenced by March l Once
begun, it will be pushed eastward
from Oklahoma City and westward
from Sapulpa to a meeting place,
probably at Chandler. Already,
in anticipation of coming impor-
tance as the railroad center of the
territory, Oklahoma City is begin
ming to assume metropolitan airs.
Rlcn fulfllment and richer still In
promise, it is not unreasonable to
credit the assertions of enthusias-
tic residents, who confidently pre-
diet a population of 25,OOO for
Oklahoma City before two years
have passed.
Citizens here claim that the fight
between Guthrie and Oklahoma
City over the western terminus OF
the Frisco extension has been de-
cided in favor OF the latter town,
though Guthrie will not admit that
her chances have gone glimmering.
Oklahoma City people are not
only claiming the Frisco as Ger
tainty. but also asserts that the
shops will be established here.
For perhaps a year and probably
for all time, a division will have
to be established at this point.
This logically means shops, but
whether of a permanent character
is yet an open question.
Already Oklahoma CITY is pre-
pairing to branch out in her whole
sale trade. She realizes that a

AGAINST SANTA CRUZ.
The City Must Suffer for the De-
linuuency Of It's Agent.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-Judge
De Haven, sitting i'm the United States
Circuit Court to-day, decided the case
of Waite VS.. City of Santa Cruz in
favor of the plaintiff.
The decision means that the city of
Santa Cruz has a bonded indebtedness
of 100000, and intrusted them to a
broker named Walter Stanton to be
sold. Stanton sold the bonds to a large
number of persons in different Eastern
cities, collected the money, and never
delivered it to the city of Santa Cruz,
but applied it to his own uses.
The city of Santa Cruz having never
received the consideration, refused to
acknowledge it's liability for principal
or interest Of the bonds The several
holders assigned their rights to Albert
H. Waite for the purpose of suing.
Waite filed a complaint in the United
States Circuit Court by his attorneys,
Chickering, Thomas & Gregory Of this
city.
Judge De Haven found that Wates
assignors were bona fide purchasers of
the bonds, without notice of the intend
ed fraud, and, therefore, that their
right to recover was perfect The city
must suffer for. the delinquency of its
agent
The decision is a lengthy one, and is
important in that it decides that acts
of municipal officials performed after
the expiration of their terms of office,
but while they are officiating pending
the induction of their successors, are
legal in every way

Satisfied That There is Very

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. %
Charles E. Watson, a mining man OF

arose and capSzed their small boat.
When morning came IT, other pros
pectors missed the Rhode Island party,
as they We're called, and the searching
party that was sent out found the boat
floating keel up, but no trace OF the
men. The provisions and other effects
belonging to the hapless party were
cast upon the beach by the waves.
General w Muller of Iowa was
drowned on August 18th while ascend
ing the Kubuck River. Muller and his
partner had moored their boat under
a sandbank that caved in on them,
capsizing the small craft. I was near
by and rescued Mulier's partner just
in the nick of time.

CHINA'S EMPEROR.
His Downfall Caused by His APP
pearing in European Clothes.

PEKING. Sept 26 (via Shanghai,
Sept. 29).-The developments of palace
affairs confirm the belief that the En-
peror. by the radical reforms which he
had decreed, prepared himself for the
blow struck by the DOWager Empress.
The successive edicts furnish a history
of the trend of affairs. The Emperor
chief adviser, Kang Yuwei, obtained
unbOunded influence over him, and IN
spired the reforms. The official classes
opposed him, and consulted the DoWa-
ger Empress as to means for multiplying
these reforms.
The current story is that the imme
diate cause of the Emperors downfall
was that he appeared one day in Eu-
ropean clothes. The offense, it appears,
was aggravated by the arrival in China
of the Marquis Ito, the Japanese states
man, which alarmed the palace officials,
as foreshadowing japanese influence III
the Empires councils. Thereupon the
DOwager Empress acted with wonder
full promptness, and deposed her
nephew before the Peking people were
aware she had left the summer palace.
Kang Yuwei, foreseeing trouble, fled
two days after the crisis. His follow
ers were arrested to-day.
Hsuying-K Ouei, whose dismissal
from the Chinese Foreign Office was
secured by the British Minister some
times ago on the ground of bad faith,
has been reappointed. The announce
ment of the Emperor's death is ex-
pected soon, and the Dowager Empress
is likely to appoint a figurehead as his
successor, retaining the real power her
self.
One report says the Empress has
strong views regarding Russia's ag-
gression in Manchuria, and though she
is likely to restore Lii Hung Chang to
power, she is not likely to countenance
his Russian leanings.

WAR EXPENSES.

The claim of California against the
Federal Government amounts to S12O,-
