Mr.. Wooley says: 81 was subject for

Less than week ago the Reno Gazette,

that the Silver party had given the tax
payers a corrupt and extravagant admin
stration of State affairs; had expended
large sums &C public money for political
iavortes, and in all sorts of ways so con
Quoted public affairs as to forfeit the con-
fdence of the people.
Such charges, made thoughtlessly and
recklessly, and, AS rule, by wholly ir-
responsible persons, are the regular
thing in political campaign. They are
merely utilized to humbug the average
voter who has not, as a rule. any means
whereby he can establish their truth or

Cannot Cut Timber.

The following from the Musko-

many ARDMoREITE readers as show
ing the danger of trusting too much
to the dictum of the Indian agent
touching Territory laws:
The case of j. A. Sample from
near Texana, L. T., charged with
timber depredation-cutting wal
nut timber-came up yesterday.
His defense was that he was i'm
proving the land for his son-in-law
who is a full-blood Cherokee In
dian, and cut the timber solely for
the purpose of clearing the land
The court-Judge Thomas-held
and instructed the jury that he vi
olated the law if he cut the timber
for any purpose, he being a non
citizen, and had no right to cut il
even while in-the employ of a cit.
izen.
The defendant had previously
received letter in December, 1898
from Agent Wisdom telling him i
would be no violation of law to sci
any timber which had been cut il
good faith prior to the passage o
the Curtis act. Thomas took
different view of the law. and 81

The Price of Imperialism.

The New York World recently set
out in picturesque and striking form
what is called 1.-THE Fruits of I'm
perialism From One Days News, or
Benevolent Assimilation Up to Date. "
Here is the list:
1. A new and peculiarly fatal type
of plague appeared in Manila.
2. A Manila dispatch reporting that
the number of cases of insanity
among American troops exceeds that
in any previous war.
8. Gen. Otis list of casualties for
the day fl We killed and seven
wounded.
4. American flag hoisted on Sidutu
island, and the probability that for
eign complications may arise from it.
8. Five men about to be garroted
in Ponce.
6. Seventeen insane soldiers ship
ped home from Manila.
This is a pretty high rate to paw
for one days Imperialism, and to it
might be added the days interest on
the 1850, ZOO, 900 which this merciless
and unnecessary war has already
cost.
