THE president and his secretary Of
state, John Hay, like the fellows that
asked to go snooks in the poker game,
spoke too soon when they gave II out
that Montague White, the Boer rep
resentative could have no standing as
a diplomat at Washington, and now,
since they begin to hear mutterings
Of the storm of indignation among the
American people over their profound
refusal to receive Mr. White, they are
hedging by quietly causing it TO be
given out that the Boer envoy will be
received II his credentials are all
right Neither Mckinley or his Sec
retary of state can do anything that
would in the slightest manner offend
Mr.. Bull, but both recognize the fact
that 1t would be an easier job to pla-
cate the old man than it would be the

reaching than a mere incident. II
forever settles the question that pclyg-

as alleged, that President Mckinney
has appointed polygamists to Office in
Utah, congress will most likely push
the inquiry to conclusion, and IL
found TO be true he will be compelled
by pressure 10 recall such appoint

Roberts was refused a seat fore
shadows the pressure which will be
brought TO bear to develop the facts in

OKLAHOMA FARMERS SHOULD FIG

II is high time the Oklahoma farm
ers were doiog little figuring for
themselves. 1t takes twelve spools OF
barbed wire, or about 1850 pounds, to
enclose q quarter section Of 100 acres,
with a two strand wire fence. In Jan
uary, 1896. before the wire trust was
formed, the price OF this wire in Guth-
rie was secs per 100 pounds, and it
took s2s. 80 worth Of wre to enclose
100 acres with u two-wire fence. The
same amount OF wire now costs in
Guthrie 500 so, or s42 more than it cost
one year ago before the wire trust
was organized
This is simply one item which enters
into the farming industries Of Oklaho-
ma, to say nothing OF the vast num-
Der of other articles which the farm
er must have, the prices Of " hich have
been advanced from 20 to 500 per cent
under the protected trust system of
the Republican party. This statement
is not the clap-trap utterance ofa par
tisan political paper, but can be veri-

take the trouble and little time TO
investigate the subject by inquiries
among the merchants with whom he
deals.

ABsURDITY or FREE HOMES CONVEN.

Dick sMorgan, of the free homes
league, has made arrangements for
another big graft to be worked in the
interests of the hotel keepers of El

own political ambitions. Morgan has
called a free homes convention TO
meet in FL Reno, February TO- Just
what such convention can accomplish
Is hard to comprehend. The file cases

the republican party stands for the log
ical expansion of sn ambitious and
progressive nation, broader markets
for our products aud more liberal op'
portunities Tor the employment of our
God'giyen energies. At home, the re-
publican party stands fer an honest
ballot and fair count, fer equality OF
citizenship. for the untrammeled de-
velopment of MANHOOD and the general
education of the masses. Cannot such
a reliable party, voieing such exalted
principles, with the greatest warrant
invite the suffrage of all right'thinking
and patriotic people?
That the reply in November will be
q hearty and convincing vote of con-
fidence in the existing administration
no careful student of current events
will doubt tor a moment. Yet the
victory will not be an easy one. Its
price must be hard and persistent
work. There are powerful elements
arrayed against us and We are called
upon to meet the combined ingenuity
of a vast horde Of unscrupulous politi-
cal vandals, hungry for the loaves and
fishes of victory, led by the most dan
gerous and plausible demagogue the
country has known since the days of
Aaron Burr. Behind William Jen'
nings Bryan is arrayed the s'me forces
that sought to destroy the Union, and
their malevelent purposes have not
changed one whit since the Civil War,
save that they are now endeavoring to
receive by fraud, intimidation and low
cunning, that which they failed to win
by arms. The same principles for
which Lee and Jackson fought for
four long years and made desolate the
homes Of loyal patriots are again on
trial to-day. Is there any one foolish
enough to believe that the friends of
honest government will stand idly by
and see wrested from them the fruits Of
the conflict that was ended at Appomat-
tox? No. The sons of liberty will stand
united, as of old. and at the head of
the column, as at Wagner and Pillow,
will be found the Republics sturdiest
yeomanry-the Negro voters. They
have not only the national honor and
the full dinner pail" at stake, but
their very citizenship is in the balance.
The Negro has never been false to
the country's interests, he has never
been mistaken in fixing bis political
allegiance, and he will not 90 wrong in
this year Of grace.
