Resources Of Oklahoma.

The annual report of Gov. Barnes,
of Oklahoma, is an impressive pre-
sentation of the present wealth and
resources Of what was wilderness
only few years ago. The assessors
returns show population of 81, 400,
a gain of So per cent. in two years.
As these returns are incomplete, the
Governor puts the actual population
at one-third of million. The tax
able property Is returned at $4O,623,-
SIG, an increase of $S,5S9,064 in the
year. The area of Oklahoma is forty
thousand square miles, almost that of
Ohio. Il cannot be long until this
fertile and growing territory becomes
sovereign State. All that delays it
now, no doubt, is the question
whether it shall come in separately or
CONFORMITY as one State with :
dian Territory.

Good Words.

"Blessed is the nation whose God
lie the Lord aud the people whom he
hath chosen for his own inheritance"
1t is under these circumstances that
we find the highest development of
patriotism, for there we find the high
est manhood and the most sublime
unselflshness. The profigate and the
impure have no adequate ideal set be-
fore them, and they are therefore un-
reliable citizens, as they seek not "the
common veal of the common wealth."
but the qualification of their own sell
fish ends and their own unhallowed
desires. Such men will sell their
country for gain and will traffic on its
disgrace tor seIf-advantage. In a
most essential and undeniabIe sense it
is necessary to have the principles of
righteousness instilled in the heart 10
ensure anything like q genuine and
safe kind OF patriotism.-rhe Inland !.

WILL RUIN THEIR BUSINESS.
Free Trade Would Mean a Genuine
Havana For 5 Cents.

Circulars, letters and petitions re-
ceived by public men At Washington
indicate that the. tobacco growers and
manufacturers of tobacco and cigars
are in state bordering panic,
through fear that Cuba and the Phil
ippines will be annexed.
In some caees the cigar mannfacl-
urer's protest is signed by all his en-
ployes. 1t is pointed out by these
people that the cheapness of labor in
the Philippines and Cuba would ena-
BILE cigar makers there 10 completely
drive the American manufacturer out
of the market the momeut snnexa-
ton removes the custom-bouse bars
that now keep out foreign cigars and
tobacco. This, if true, would mean
ruin to tobacco growers and manu-
facturers within the present limits OF
the United States.
AS TO the way it would affect the
consumer OF tobacco, that's different.
A circular issued by the New En-
gland Tobacco Growers sets it forth
Alike this:
"Under the Constitution 'annexa-
ton of one or all of these islands
means absolute free trade with them
in leaf tobacco and cigars. 1t means
that cigars win retail at one or two
cents each and clear Havana cigars at
Eye cents, or about one third the cost

ity in this country at the same time.

alton are looked for by members OF
Congress representing non-tobscco

Help the Cause.

There has never been q political
campaign that equalled in import
ance that OF the one to be fought this
fall. The Republican party, backed
by the money power of this country
and Europe, is alert and aggressive.
Flushed with the victory of two years
ago, it will seek by every means in it's
power TO maintain its supremacy.
Demo rats must be up and doing
They must wage an unceasing war
upon their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
Democratic newspapers. The pub
lisher-of the Chicago Dispatch, the
great national Democratic weekly,
will send 10 every new subscriber for
three months a copy of the Chicago
Dispatch. If you are not already
taking the great political weekly, send
in ten ceLt4 at once and receive the
great paper during tho coming cam
paign. You should not only do this

little effort you can easily raise rb

John Morley Write to GladstOne's
Life.

John Motley, the eminent Liberal
Statesman aud writer, has been chosen
By the Gladstone family to write Mr..
.GlEdstoneS life.
The only obstacle to his selection
from the first wa his aEnosiicism,
which, 1t wa thought, might unfit
hin for dealing with the religious
side Of Mr.. GIRdstone'g character and
career.
No liviag English statesman was
more thoroughly in sympathy with
Mr.. Gladstone, both mentally and po-
litically, or ID better equipped OF per-
sonsl knowledge aud intimacy to give
an idea OF the man him self.
It ia predicted that Mr.. Morley will
devote himself TO his herculeap labor
for the next few yeirs, Withdrawing,
to great extent, from politics.

WHEELER BLUNT QUESTION.
IT Led Cen. Toral to Shrug His
Shoulders and Surrender.

On our SIDE all the preparations for
striking final triple blow at the
doomed city were continued. On the
other side of the city the fleet lay
grimly ready. Our men took their
meals, such as they were, in the
trenches, while those on relief were
ordel ed TO be ready for q general adj
vance within thirty minutes after the
flag OF truce should 20 down, says q
writer in Golfers Weekly. In our
rear heavy trains of artillery went
Numbering up the hillside all the live
long day. During the day General
Miles arrive, amid tbunderous cheer
ing, and betook himself and his staff
10 another conference with the weak
ening Spsniards. At this conference,
SO it ives reported later, on the best
authority, Gen. Toral admitted that it
was within his authority to agree to
general surrender on behalf of the
Spanish forces.
swell, then, why doo't you surren-
der ?" asked old Joe Wheeler. The
blunt question was translated to Gen.
Toral. He hesitated a minute, then
shrugged his shoulders with pitiful
smile, aud said in q low voice: 81
surrender"

ROnOr Your Country.

"Our country should mean TO US
something sacred and holy, something
worthy of our love and veneration,
and to be worthy of such a country
should be our highest aim. True pa
triotism, therefore, should preclude
the possibility of our being anything
but strong, clean, conscientious, and
clear-cut IN character. That is a
queer contradiction when a man
offers his life for his country, and yet
makes that same life a disgrace to
himself and the nation which he
would thus serve. There are many
instances of this kind, and these men
are ca led patriotic" 1t were better
if such men deemed their country
worth living for as we'll as worth dy-
ing for; by so doing they would ex-
emplify higher and truer style OF
patriotism. Indeed it is debatable
whether this kind of thing is patriot
ism IN any proper sense. True pa
trioti,m will not only fight in time of
war, but il will be upright and hon
orable il line of peace. In the long
run, no country is saved by the multi
tude IT u host, even an armed host,
bu, Ivy tie purity and integrity of its
people. Tine patriotism which does
not compel US to be just such citizens
as that is not of extreme value to us
or the world.'

A Floating Bible and What Cane
of II.

Some months ago q merchant in
Sawara, Japan, whose name was Ak
ihara Takejs, was Waited BY Bible
colporter, from whom he heard some
thing OF the gospel. But the story
made little impression upon him, and
he went on with his business without
paying any attention to bio new re-
ligion about which he had heard. But
il was not all in vain that be had
heard something of the truth. Rev.
Henry Loonis, the agent of the Amer /.
lean Bible Society of japan, Low
gives the sequal to this story. Iutha
fall of 1896 great food devastated
that part of Japan where Mr.. Akihara
lived, and his store and goods were
swept away. Having nothing else 10
do, Mr.. Akihara used to go out daily
upon the river TO fish, and while thua
engaged one day he saw q small book
floating on The water. Picking il up
he found it was copy of the book OF
Genesis, and, as he read it, ii made
strong impression upon his mind. He
remembered all he had heard about
God and the gospel of Jesus Christ
He soon began to inquire eagerly
about christianity and the way of SAL
walton. and il was not long before he
became christian and entered heart
lily iuto eli the duties of a Christian
life. His family followed his exam
pie, and his daughter was cent to
christian school. Mr.. AkihRra has
now bought large family Bible, that
he might have, in its best form, the
book which first came to him in
wonderful way, and which was the
means of his salvation.

HOBSON SNUDBED
BY the Secretary of the United
States Navy.
TOOK II LIKE PIE HERO Ell is.
Rode in Separate Coaches to the
Peace Jubilee.

The Washington Evening Times of
last Wednesday prints the following :
Lieutenant Richard p. HObson, Con-
structor United States Navy and hero
of the Merrimac, was in Washington,
this morning. The tall, bronzed hero
late from his successful ship-raising
exploits off the Cuban coast, called at
the Navy Department soon after 8
o'clock and was ushered into Secre-
tary Longs Office.
The Secretary's greeting to the hero
was not of the most cordial nature
so it was related by those who were
present at the interview.
After few minutes of preliminary
talk, it is said Lieut.. Hobson made
reference to his efforts to raise the
sunken Spanish ship Colon.
"You are not here to make any
statement concerning that matter )"
the Secretary is said TO have replied
curtly. "You have been ordered
here to participate in the peace jubilee
at Philadelphia"
very good, cir" replied Hobson,
assuming military attitude, and in a
military tone, Every good, sir; order
are orders"
This closed the interview. Lieut.
Hobson then visited Chief Construc-
tor Hichborn aud other officials, and
atterward boarded the train for the
Quaker City.
Secretary Long also went to Phila-
delphia on the same train, but it was
stated that the Secretary and Lieuten-
ant occupied separate coaches-at
least they did as the cars were pulling
out of the Sixth Street station.
Hobson's friends throughout the
country are indignant at the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
putfed-up Secretary.
