RESOLUTION.
To the Hon. Mayor and Council of
the city of Ardmore;
We, your committee appointed to
draft suitable resolutions to be sub
mitted to the honorable townsite COM
mission of the Chickasaw nation,
beg to report the following:
Whereas, The city of Ardmore is
city of more. than 5000 inhabitants
and the largest city in the Chicka-
| saw nation, and is without water
works and sewerage system, or sew
erage of any kind, and without other
public improvements useful and alb
solutely necessary both to the health
and prosperity of the people, and
such improvements are of vital i'm
portance and imperative public ne
cessity, and it is not good business
policy, and the people are therefore
strenuously opposed to the issuance
of bonds, or incurring any such
realty are known, and in view of the
fact that at an early day they must
buy and pay for the realty, and the
price thereof is unknown and the
amount of liabilities thus to be as
sumed and discharged cannot be as
certained until the appraisement is
made by the townsite commission,
and the making of all such public
improvement must therefore neces-
sarily await the appraisement by
said commission, and the necessities
therefor are greater than in any
other town or city in the Chickasaw
nation. and
Whereas, The commission on the
part of the Chickasaw and Choctaw
tribes of Indians, and the United
/ States, being cOnversant with the
condition existing in this territory,
in the agreement entered into, and
known as the Atoka agreement, pur-
posely left the size of the lots to be
determined by the townsite COM
mission, with the evident intention
that an individual owning improve
ments upon a lot, or tract of land
and using the same as a home, or
place of business, whether such lot
or tract of land be large or small
should be permitted to buy the same
as lot, at so per cent of its apprais-
ed value, and
Whereas, We are advised that the
ruling of the Interior Department is
that the townsite commission shall
/
city governments, through their AL
dermanic boards in reference to fix
ing the size of lots, be it therefore
Resolved by the city council of the
city of Ardmore in regular session of
the sth, day of June 1899.
First. That the honorable townsite
commission of the Chickasaw nation
be, and is hereby urgently requested
to come at once, or at the earliest
possible date to the city of Ardmore
and proceed to plat and appraise
the same, to the end that individual
liabilities may be ascertained; that
which is uncertain may be rendered
certain, and the financial status and
ability of the people known, and
business becomes settled upon a
known and certain basis, and the
city knows what it is able to do and
what it cannot do in the way of
public Improvements.

THE oLEoMAReARINE TAX.
Congress VIII Be Urged to Increase
1t Fiye-EoId.

Without any doubt an effort will be
made in the next Congress to secure an
increase in the tax on oleomargarine from
two cents to ten cents a pound Public
sentiment travels in waves, and If any
special interest is shrewd enough to fall
in with the wave il can be floated. Just
now food authorizations are on top. While
oleomargarine is not food adulteratiOn
it classes itself in the popular mind in the
same way. and so the time for making an
attack upon it is specially propitious. En-
couraged by the success of the campaign
against the mixedflour producers. the
dairy interests of the country are planning
a concerted move for driving out oleomar-

all practical purposes prohibitive. In one
particular they are likely to miss their
reckoning, and that is in regard to the ex

Of the greatest grievances the butter men
have against the 'oleo; people is that
'oleo" is growing so rapidly in. the export
trade. particularly that of tba tropical re-
gions.
The "oleo' oils make a sitter product
than that of the dairy, and for equatorial
regions the imitation butter is on that ac-
count preferred TO the real article. 1t is
argued that if there were no "oieo eN-
ported much larger iield would be open
to our butter producers. This is doubtless
true. but when the butter men try TO make
internal revenue taxes applicable to goods
manufactured for export they will run
against a serious objection.
Congress will be asked to amend the
war revenue law in regard to uucompound-
ed drugs, so as to make coal-tar products.
like phenacetine and aristol. which are un-
compounded. subject to tax They have
all the properties Of the drugs regularly
taxed They are patented and trade
marked: they cost about dollar n pound
and sell over the counters of the apothe-
cary shops at about S19 a pound. The doc
tors and the apothecaries believe that
these products should be taxed, and so
will ask either for an amendment of the
section in regard to uncompounded drugs
or for the application of tax to these
particular ones.

Dialect.

Perhaps not everyone knows that there
is an Institution called the American Dia
iect Society. OF course. the object of
this society is not the study OF the Amer
lean dialect: there is no such thing The
Englishman thinks there is, and he puts
together all the words he has caught up
from his various American friends and
makes q sort of Frankenstein product
which is fearful and wonderful to behold.
He keeps his Southern friends busy eX-
planning that they never guess, and his
New England friends occupied in telling
him that they do not reckon, and the
New York man is obliged TO disclaim the
charge that he ever says Jimmy crick
ets," while the Westerner informs his
trans Atlantic friend that there are certain
people who pronounce certain ''woids" like
nobody else in the 'woild" but that they
emphaticaIly do not live west of the
Mississippi. He himself does not say
work." ne says 'wor-rk.' And then abe
Englishman concludes that the tribes Of
the Tower of Babel must have migrated to
America in prehistoric times and that their
ghosts are busy vexing the population unto
this day.
But there is an American Dialect So
ciety, and its business is. as one would
naturally infer. the recording OF all the
different forms of the English language
which are spoken in this country. All
things considered. perhaps we come as
near having a homogeneous language as
England does, though we are many times
as large. The dialects in the various
counties of England are so different that
the inhabitants can scarcely make them
selves understood outside their own ma
tive district; and it is recorded that the
language spoken by the peasants of GER
tain seascoast towns in England is so
nearly like Low Dutch that the people
talked to the Dutch sailors who landed
there, and had no need of an interpreter

FEMININE Military Methods.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press-)
There is something exceedingly feminine in the
behavior OF the Cuban generals. Like certain
Class OF women, they are never quite happy ex-
cept when they are keeping themselves and some
body else in hot water They fond of dress
and display in general. When arrayed in epaulets
and gilt braid. with drawing-rooin sword aud a
25-cent pair OF trousers, the Cuban brigadier OF
major general is happy, because be is on parade,
But he is worried Just for an occupation,
since his dignity will not permit HIM TO work o,
otherwise to be of any use to anybody.
Consequently, the military gentleman, like
women of a certain kind, seeks relief from ennui
in raising i row. That is the whole explanation
OF the many meetings, the infammatory speeches
and the inconsistent behavior OF that class. They
have no real grievances, but coniure up Il few i'm
aginary wrongs, SO as to have something to oc-
cupy their minds and keep the attention Of
Others focused on themselves. To be obscure, not
to be looked at, would be the most unhappy

Language with literature of its own. and
the disparity of dialects in this huge
country of ours does not seem so great
after all. OF course. educated English
men all speak English of a fairly uniform
type, but so do educated and cultivated
Americans.
Mr. Babbitt. the secretary OF the society,
has lately been analyzing New York dia-
| lect and has made some interesting notes
on the subject. Until recently it has not
! been discovered that New York had
patois of its own. Like its distinguished
citizen, Chimmie Fadden, it has assumed
that it talked plain United States" and
that the other people possessed all the
eccentricities.
! The queer thing about dialect is that the
/ person who has it seldom knows he has.
Every time a Southern play goes South the
people rise in a rage, and explain that they
do not eliminate their rs and drawl
! their words as the people on the stage do;
and every New Englander who sees rural
! New England plays understands that the
whole thing is severe caricature. If one
| were 10 ask the New Yorker why he pro-
nounces work in the way he does, he
would open his eyes in innocent wonder
and ask, why. how in the woild would
you pronounce it?'' People who talk dia-
lect are like the old Quaker who once re-
marked to his wife in resigned tone of
voice:
All the world is queer except thee and me, Han
Hah; and sometimes | think thee is getting LITTLE
queer.
But dialect is in some ways very good
thing. 1t preserves the history of a place,
and is living record of the past. Perhaps
not many people know that in the English
Court, in the time of George Ill, it was
the correct form to say 'obleeged," and
.'cowcumber, and that the old-fashioned
folk who use that pronunciation now are
simply perpetuating the stateiiness OF thelI
grandfathers. Some of the expressions
used by the negroes and poor whites of the
South have come down unchanged from the
time of Shakespeare. "Hit" for "it'' is
one of these archaic forms; it is old Saxon
"Raisins" was pronounced reasons three
hundred years ago, as it still is by old
fashioned people; and therein lies the
point of Rosalind's pun in las You Like
It." when she says: '.If reasons were a:
plentiful as blackberries." There was 8
spiciness to the Elizabethan public in thai
joke of which we miss the flavor; for the
preserved fruit of Malaga was not so con-
mon in England then that the poor coult
buy it.
/ So an expression sometimes springs VI
out of some political or local happening
and lasts long after the origin has beer
forgotten. Why in the world farmer il
one part of New England should call ;
stovelifter a Democrat" while in anothe
part of the same section the term is ap
piled TO a particular type of wagon, no
body but an antiquarian can tell. Blu
there was probably reason for that some
where in local politics. Language is crys
tallized history; and the man who know
the laws of its capitalization can unfo-t
the meaning as surely as geologist car
tell the story OF a bit of fossil fern.

and fittings are accepted. the ship will be
taken to the Portsmouth. n. H.. navy yard
to be rigsed. The rigging will be fitted
according to naval IDEAS and will be In
keeping with practices which have obtain
ed in the service for many years past
The Chesapeake will be a full l-rigged
ship. carrying three royals and single top
sails. She will depeRd entirely on her
sails. a small boiler and donkey engine
will be supplied the latter for use in
Weighing anchor. The boiler will also

ment. about 1,200 tons. The cost OF the
i new vessel will be about siii 900. In

/ are best made in sailing craft. In this
opinion. it is said. the majority OF the
most practical officers OF the Navy coin

sailing-frigate Monongahela. That vessel
will, in the fall. be turned over to the use
OF the apprentice training squadron. The
auxiliary gunboats Vicksburg Annapolis
