Gov. McCurtain Upheld.

South McAlester, l. T. Aug. 10.
The Secretary of the Interior has
sustained the contention of Gov.
McCurtain or the Choctaw nation
in the matter of hay royalty.
NThe effect of this decision briefly
stated is that citizens must pay a
royalty of 80 cents per ton on all
hay cut by them for sale or barter,
whether cut from the public domain
or field.
Non citizens will not be permit
ted to cut hay at all except where
they are in the employ of citizens.

Did you ever count up how many
times in the course of a day you tell
a lie even though you consider your
self a truthful person? You tell a lie
when a friend asks if n new hat is be-
comi;5. wien you praise something
our hostess cooks and when you say
Yen had good time In bidding her
goodby. You must lie or offend hun
dred a cay. and you naturally prefer to
lie. Its effects may be as bad as those
OF giving offense. but they are not so
apparent.-AtchisonG Globe.

Peril In stamp Boxes.

A girl | know is betrothed to a
young officer in the navy. and as his
birthday is near at hand she has
bought pretty little stamp box in sill
yer to give to him, but she is not going
10 give il to him. after all.
Daughter" her father said to her.
If you wish that young man well.
never give him a stamp Dox. You
couldn't give him anything more dan
gerous. A man would better carry
dynamite than stamps. One of the
bravest officers in the navy has been
for 20 years paying the penalty of his
folly in carrying stamps. Everybody
knows who he is. Years ago he re-
ceived an order from the department
which displeased him very much He
knew to whom he owed it. and he sat
himself down that same night and ex-
pressed himself frankly on paper TO the
man he blamed for the obnoxious or
der. He had n stamp. and so he sent
the letter off in that nights mail. If
he hadn't had n stamp. he would not
have mailed the letter till morning, and
if lie had kept it till morning he'd new
er have sent it at all and he would not
have paid the penalty of 'sassing' the
department.
Don't send the young man stamp
box. The officer I've been telling you
about says that his experience taught
him never TO carry stamps, but the
trouble about the wisdom experience
brings is that it usually comes too late
TO be OF any use. Don't encourage the
young man to carry stamps. 1t isn't
safe" ."-Washington Post.

The dean of Bristol in PHASES of Nv
Life relates the following:
From time to time | met at dinner

Boyle. Invariably when we met this
admiral of the old school would come
to me and say, do you. sir, read the
account of ST. Paufs shipwrecky
Yes. 1t is the appointed lesson,

Hard Times for Christian Scientists

The doctrines Of Christian Sci
ence. in so far as they advocate
of physical diseases without medi
cal aid, have received rather rough
handling in English courts during
last year, as shown by statistical
report just issued. Out of total
of thirty-five cases in London
courts in which parents or relatives
were charged with manslaughter
by Withholding medical aid. twenty
one have resulted in conviction
and sentence. In recent case
tried at the Old Bailey the defend
ents, who were charged with the
manslaughter of their child, were
acquitted on the first indictment
but Immediately rearrested and
tried on the charge of wilfully
neglecting the deceased child. The
jury found the couple guilty and
the husband was sentenced to six
weeks Imprisonment and the wife
to one month. Justice Tidley, in
passing sentence, said that the law
could not allow children to snffer
and perish by reason of peculiar
religious opinions Of their parents.

M'ENERY's GIFT DISCUSSED.
Col. Bryan Says 1t Is Not as Clear
Might Be Asked.

Col. Bryan was interviewed yeSterZ
day concerning the McEnery resolu-
ton. He said:
1t is not clear a statement of the ma
tons purpose as was desired by those who
favor independence for the Filipinos. 1t an
swers one purpose. however, having been sup
ported by the Republicans, 1t may De taken
as declaration that the Republicans are cp-
posed TO comforting upon the Filipipos the
rights Of American citizenship, as the reso-
luton declares that it is not intended 10
permanently annex these islands as en- inte-
grail part Of the territory Of the United
States. In other words II the islands are
controlled by the United States they will be
governed on a principle different from II ut
followed in the United States
If there is to be annexation it is to be I'M
der the imperial plan of England. The latter
part of the resolution is very vague and I'M
certain. The United States is to establish a
government suitable to the wants and condi-
ton of the inhabitants This declaration gives
no indication to the character of the gov
eminent which the Republicans think suita-
Bile to the inhabitants. That will develop
hereafter.
The resolution will do some good. 1t will
negative the idea that the ratification Of the
treaty settled the Philippine question; second,
it discloses the determination of the Repub-
ltcans to hold the Philippines if they hold
them at ALL as vassals and not as citizens.
l am sorry that the Bacon resolution failed
to pass. and yet the fact that it required the
vote Of the vice president to defeat 1t is evil
dence that there is strong sentiment in favor
Of giving independence to the Filipiaos.
The Bacon resolution can be made the basis
of an appeal TO the people, and unless l
overestimate the attachment of our people to
the doctrine OF government that appeal
will result in the reputation of the colonial
idea.
The Bacon resolution contemplates the same
policy toward the FfliDinos that has already
been promised to the Cubans. The Repub-
Hcans will find it difficult to justly enc policy
for the Cubans and an entirely different
one for the Fil:oinos
The Teller amendment to the intervention
resolution has proven great protection to
Cubans, and the spirit of the amendment
certainly includes the Fiipinos..
No one tell at this time the relative i'm
portance of the questions that will be before
the country in 1900 The question of i'm
perialism may be disposed of before that time.
The passage of the Bacon resolution, unless
it was repudiated by the next congress, would
go far toward removing the Philippine ques-
ton from the arena of debate
AS long as the future policy Is uncertain
it will be matter Of discussion. When the
policy Is settled it becomes a mere matter of
detail. People not discussing the Cuban
question now, because the Cubans have been
promised independence as soon as a stable
government be established. The Repub-
hcans by pressing in congress the bill u ab-
fishing the gold standard and retiring the
greenbacks will help keep the money Ques-
ton before the country.
