dipping upon the cattle. Several OK the
leading Journals OF the southwest. pur-
porting to quote Mr.. Hagan, had published
the report that OF the $50 head over 100

bad condition and expected 20 die. These
accounts had carried CONSERVATION into

that the papers had misquoted him, and

further loss.

GUARDS THE FARMER
Action of the Oklahoma Live
stock Commission
FOUNDED ON NEW FACTS
Iax-Raise Contempt Cases in
Supreme Court.

Guthrie. o. T. Dec. 2-(speciaLl-The
action of the livestock commission last
night. in resolving to maintain the recent
quarantine regulations. virtually means
that the commission is determined 10 pro-
tece the farmers mich COW. even though
such action may work a hardship to some
few cattle feeders who had arranged TO
bring IN cattle from the fever-infestsd
area Of Texas and feed them on the pro-
duct OF the cottonseed oil mills in the
territory. The farmers Of the territory
pay taxes on several million dollars worth
Of domestic cattle, whereas the cattle
brought in from Texas for feeding pur-
poses are made exempt from taxation by
a special act of the last legislature. The
meeting last night was a special session
Of the commission for the purpose o. hear
ing the complaints Of various parties
against the further enforcement OF the re
cent regulations OF the commission as
promulgated 10y the governor in his proc
lamation OF November 2. Great interest
was manifested by those in attendance.
The meeting was an open one and all
parties admitted and heard. Two Of Lo-
gan county's most prominent farmers
called and fled a protest with the GOV
ernor against any change in the regula-
tions. They insisted that the farmers and
small stockmen OF the territory 1eejed

were prohibited from entering the terri

that the administration had in the SEN
ate. This is Senator Gray, democrat,
strong gold man and strong de-
fender of President Cleveland, and yet
he always retained the respect of the
silver democrats. This was because.
while he was sincere advocate Of Mr..
Cleveland's measures, and withal was
courageous and independent in this
advocacy. he was not regarded as hav-
ing betrayed silver constituency for
the patronage with which such betray-
al would be rewarded.
A democratic silver senator who is
well acquainted with Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Gray was asked why the presi-
dent did not appoint Senator Gray to
one of the vacancies in the supreme
court, when he seemed to find it so diff
ficult to find man, who would suit both
himself and the senate. The answer
came quickly and emphatically:
For no other reason except that
Gray is man Of independence and
force, who has not been and will not be
dominated by Grover Cleveland The
reply is characteristic of the way both
Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Cleveland were re-
garded by the silver democrats.
Among these democratic silver SEN
ators there are strong men. One is
Jones, of Arkansas. Before he was
made chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee Senator Jones was
but little heard Of. Nevertheless. his
position in the senate had been already
established as that Of an honest, well

Aldrich is Frye, of Maine. Mr.. Frye is
vigorous, conservative, sound-think-
irg man. He is a good parliamentarian,
is president pro 1empore of the senate,
and makes most excellent presiding
officer. His decisions are clear, prompt
and impartial.
There are several men in the senate
who talk little, but who, fguratively
speaking, saw lots of wood. Among
these are Jones, of Nevada, and Proc
tor, of Vermont. Senator Jones speaks
less on the floor of the senate than al
most any other senator. Some of his
silver speeches, however, show the
work of profound scholar. Senator
Proctor is a quiet, earnest worker.
Senator Proctor's colleague, Mr.. Nor
rill, is an able, clear-headed, high-mind-
cd gentleman, whose intellect is still
keen and vigorous, after his AZ years of
congressional service.
But if republican senator is really
looking for concentrated vigor and
keenness, combined with the most su-
rerlative sarcasm, he should arouse
Senator Vest and he will get all he
wants. Probably no man in the senate
is considered his equal in partisan ora
tory.
There is one man in the senate who
has been lifelong republican, who
now strictly belongs to no party, and
yet who has very great influence in all
parties. This is Senator Teller. Sin
cere and earnest as man can be, hard
working, practical, and with his whole
heart and life in the fight for what h.
and his people believe right, such is
Senator Teller. When he speaks in the
senate all listen, for they know that he
speaks from Utmost convictions and
that what he says has received the care
ful thought of a superior man.

balanced, sensible, vigorous and able
man. He could be relied upon never 10
make any blunder, either politically or
otherwise, was always willing t, work
hard for his constituents and his party,
and constantly proved himself sound
adviser and able manager. 1t was he
who in 1894 went to each democratic
senator and found just what sort of a
tariff bill would command the support
OF every democrat. And it was he who
then prepared and arranged the
amendments which made possible the
first democratic tariff since the war.
Another distinctly strong democrat
ic silver senator is Cockrell. of Missouri.
You rarely see his name in print, out
side of Missouri paper, yet he has
been in the senate "a years, and,
in the direction of legislation, is one
OF the most powerful men in the coun-
try. Hard work, absolute honesty and
sincerity, great political foresight, and
a judgment that is remarkably sound
and unbiased, are chiefly what give him
his influence. Like Senator Jones he
is thoroughly safe adviser, and for
years back has been a member of al!
the democratic steering committees"
He has probably more influence on the
republican side than any other dem
ocrat.
The republicans have a man who is
in many ways the counterpart Of Sen
ator Cockrell. This is Senator Allison.
Like Cockrell he is, when his party con-
trols the senate, the chairman of the
powerful committee on appropriations.
Moreover, he is worker and a good
one. His judgment is sound and con-
servative, and his ability, both as a
politician and a statesman, decidedly
high. He has tendency, if perplex-
ing party question is up, to take a
quiet seat on the floor of the senate, to
listen, reflect and reach conclusions be-
fore speaking. Taking him all in all,
and considering everything, senator's
generally regard him as the ablest man
On the republican side.
There is one man whom the public is
right in regarding as a leader of his
party in the senate. That is Mr.. Cor
man. The character of his leadership,
however, is far from being understood.
He is leader because of his keen DO
litical insight and sagacity, because he
has great executive ability, because he
is a man who is trusted by his follow
ers and because, paradoxical as it may
seem, he is not avowedly "a leader"
Mr.. German does not try to dictate
party policies. He advocates that party
policy which he believes to be best, but
IT his party associates adopt an entire
~ different policy he works just as ear
nestly to carry it out as if it were his
own. He will retire on March 4, 1899;
and he will be missed rot only by his
party, but by all the senator's who know
him we'll.
A republican whose influence is
much like that of Senators Allison and

had nearly completed his task when
heavy footsteps and deeptoned voices
in the hallway attracted his attention
and in walked Director Hathaway,
Moderator Stevens and Assessor Sim
mons.
"Good evening, gentlemen was the
pleasant salutation of the ex-school
master.
"Good evening" replied the director,
in a somewhat embarrassed tone. I'VE
hardly expected to find you here so
late. But we've jest had board meet
ing down to my house and was on our
way to your boarding place. Seem the
door ajar, we thought maybe as you was
still in the schoolhouse, and sol we
stopped in. AS was sayin', Mr..
Teacher, we've jest had a board meet
in, and we have come to the unanimous
conclusion to reconsider our former &C.
ton and ask We to stay the winter term.
AS I've been sayin' to Mr.. Stevens and
MIR. Simmons, perhaps we was little
hasty in our course. The teacher has
taught us good school, there amt no
|
little prejudiced. 1 know my Helen
never took so much interest in her
studies before. Then another thing
that has convinced us that we ought to
reconsider our action was the solemn
way in which the scholars felt bout
your leavin'. There's my daughter, for
instance, she has been mopin' around
the house ever sence we sent you notice,
and last night after school the whole
crowd of scholars came traipsin' down
to my house with a petition askin' us
to reconsider our vote. So, Mr.. Teach.
eff, we have thought best to yield to all
this pressure and ask you to stay. What
is more, we've decided to raise your
wages to $50 a month"
During this long speech the spirits of
the young man again rose to an exult-
ant pitch, but he replied in calm and
dignifed tone, which the gathering
darkness helped him to assume:
"Gentlemen, it is indeed gratifying
to me that you have thus INDICATED me
from the suspicion of failure in my
work. But whether can accept your
offer at this late day is a question which
cannot decide without some reflection.
The generosity of your offer to raise my
wages is appreciated, though I shall
decline to accept the increase. will
carefully consider your kind offer and
leave my decision with Director Hath
away tomorrow morning"
The interview was now ended, and the
board solemnly and with some surprise
at the independent but perfectly cour-
teous manner of the youthful master,
withdrew.
New Years morning, as the young

Dor Of Director Hathaway and the two
farmers were firm friends. Sowhen the
squire's son began to make disparaging
remarks about the teacher, and the IA
Their, whose faith in his only son was
unbounded, had become prejudiced
against the young man, he mentioned
the matter to the director and easily
persuaded that worthy official, whose
acquaintance with the teacher had ex-
tended little farther than had been in
cidental to the duty of making con-
tract with him, that "young Allen" was
not fit person to conduct our school.
lie is too familiar with the scholars and
hasn't enough dignity to fill such re-
sponsible position"
Director Hathaway was man of
premptness and decision, whose will
was law with the board, so when he
called his colleagues together and de-
livered the opinion that the teacher was
too young and inexperienced to con-
duct the winter term, the assessor and
the moderator meekly acquiesced,
though they both felt in their hearts
that the young man had performed
his duties well.
So it came about during the last week
of the term that Mr.. Allen had been
given formal notice that his services
would not be needed any longer. He
had been greatly surprised and morti-
fled at this announcement, and his pu-
pills had shown their disapproval of the
boards arbitrary action in way that
threatened open revolt-all but John
Warren, who could hardly repress his
exultation at the turn affairs had taken.
One year before this incident Herbert
Allen he'd been the favored son of
rich merchant in an eastern city. His
mother had long been in the grave and
Herbert had spent most of his boyhood
days in famous preparatory school.
Just as he was ready to enter college,
financial disaster came upon his father,
resulting in his ruin and subsequent
death. This sudden blow of fate left
Herbert dependent upon his own re-
sources. Young and resolute in char
acter, he made his way to the west and
finally found the congenial work in the
country school which he had pursued
so happily until a cruel fate had again
thrown him upon selfish world
without the means of employment.
Finally the young ex-teacher, as he
now felt himself to be, was aroused
from his reverie by a rap at the door,
and before he could collect his wan
dering thoughts a curly-pated lad,
breathless from running, stumbled in
to the room with letter in his hand.
"Say, teacher" said the boy, 81 was
