want united states to Intervene.
LONDON, June S.-The morning pa.
pers in long editorials dealing with the
Chinese situation refer to the possible
course of the United States. The Daily
Mail, which goes beyond any other in
urging America to take the lead in in
tervention, says: ssThe United States
have secured definite pledges as to the
maintenance of the open door and their
intervention would not produce fric-
ton, danger of which is to be antici-
pated should either England or Russia
act alone. We have no desire to pre-
cipitate worldwide conflict yet our
movements are regarded with so much
suspicion by many Russians that serious
complication might ensue should we
land u large force. The same applies to
Russia -

deal--bargain and sale-made by self
appointed committees TO distribute
fusion bootys
II is the FIRST time In the history OF
the state--we speak advisediy- that
such an infamous and demoralizing
spectacle has been witnessed. Up TO
last Saturday, March 3, 1900, no such
open and shameless "dicker" mot for
principle, but for the "loaves and
fishes" few state ofices-was ever
before witnessed between two politi~
cal parties in Kansas. And one Of
these basely negotiating parties, that
thus brought open disgrace and con
tempt upon Kansas politics, labeled q
reform party; heaven save the mark
Hitherto there has been at least
something of a saving nature In public
estimation about fusion. II has not
been an open bargain and sale. The
leading fusion Democrats, with some
tenacity of purpose, IL not a display of
good judgment, have led their deluded
followers, without ceremony, into the
Populist camp. The fusion secured in
1892 and 1s96--which was not fusion,
but an unconditional surrender Of the
Democratic party to Populism-was
simply a short sighted and generous
movement by Democrats, manipula-
tion effected under the rallying cry Of
Anything TO beat the Republicans.
The fortunate Populists gave nothing
and promised nothing. They simply
accepted the sacrifice. They hoated
into office upon Democratic votes.

Ponca City Courier DENTIST Sparks
yesterday pulled a tooth: or rather the
root of tooth, for George Wageck,
which has a histo,y. When Wageck
was soldering in the Philippines, 70
miles out of L zon, he was shot by a
Filipino, the bullet entering his shou'-
der, emerging and re-entering his jaw,
up through his tongue and emerging
az air at his cheek. In its course IT
took off the entire top of one ot his
teeth. other dentists had examined
the plrce and d, cided that the jaw
bone was broken, but DR.. Sparks de-
cided differently and yesterday proved
his decision by getting the root OF the
tooth. Wageck calls II bis Filipino

o. Q. Oklahoman: The proceedings
in the Quenan murder case were ab-
ruptly brought TO halt here bv the
announcement of ole Of the jurors
that he had been convicted OF felony
and was disqualified TO act as a juror.
In his examination he had been asked
whether he had ever been convicted OF
a felony, but had either misunderstood
the question or did not want 10 make
an open confession. He had worried
over the matter until he was almost
sick, and nearly all the evidence was
taken in the case when he confessed
to one of the bsiliff The case is such
an unusual one that the Judge and at
torneys are all Gt sea in the matter.
The trial may have TO be begun over
again. The name of the juror will
not be made public at present.

THE NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-W WEEK EDITION.

The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of THE THRIcE-A-
WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an
almost nominal sum IL has kept it's sub
scribers informed of the progress Of all
our wars and, moreover, has reported
them as promptly and fully as lift were
daily. With our interests still extend
ing throughout the world, wit h our
troops operating in the Philippines and
the great Presidential campaign, too. at
hand, it's value Is further increased.
The motto OF THE THRICE-A-WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives each
year to be better than IL was the year
before, and public confidence in Ii is
shown by the fact that IL now circulRteR
more than twice as many papers every
week as any other newspaper not q
daily, published in America.
We offer this Enequaled newspaper
and THE WEEKLY LEADER together one
year for &1.15.

TRAITS OF kArprR CHARACTER
sOme Customs of Race Now Greatly
In Evidence in South Africa.


In Evidence in south Africa.
The Zulu custom of disembowling
fallen foes Is now pretty generally
known. Few are aware, however, that
such mutilation is not practiced on ao-
count OF innate cruelty, but in order to
liberate the spirits Of the deceased war
riors. 1t is maintained that IL the slay-
er inadvertently omit to perform this
last act Of Charity he will be haunted
and eventually driven into his grave
by the insulted ghost OF his victim.
The following is a quaint custom:
After a battle all the surviving war
riors are carefully dosed with mutt
(medicine) brewed from herbs by the
witch doctors OF the tribe. This is to
purify and fortify them against any
sinister designs on their welfare that
may be entertained by the spirits OF
their slain enemies. A pleasing feature
In the character of the Zulu is his gem
erosity and willingness to share with
his immediate friends and companions
any of the good things OF life that may
happen to come his way. Frequently
the writer, in order to test the disposi-
tion OF various natives, has purpose
ly chosen one kafiir out OF a number,
and. without permitting the remainder
to observe, has presented the favored
individual with some article OF con-
fectionery, such as a piece Of cake. q
few chocolates, or a handful of biscuits.
Never once, however. has he noticed a
kafir secrete his treasures from his
comrades, although every opportunity
for so doing was giveE. No; the re-
elpient in every case, after profuse ex-
pressions of thanks. invariably shared
whatever edibles he had obtained
equally with all his companions. in
many cases leaving the merest bite"
for his own delectation.-

me Of human felicity TO be asked to
dine with the British ambassador, are
not at constitutional advisers for an
American president. He should have
at his council board men who look at
American interests from an American
point OF view.
That is what is needed. The
sooner that need 10 met the better. II
President Mckinley wishes to retain
the confidence OF the public he will
bring into his cabinet before long ad-
visers more sagacious than some Of
those he has there now. Otherwise
the feeling will go abroad that the
administration is nerveless, spineless
aud without convictions, adopting good
policies only to abandon them at the
dictation Of incompetent advisers"
The Omaha World Herald, comment
ing on this, says the above is a fair
sample of the editorial expression OF
these days in Republican newspapers
having character and experience.
Never in the history OF the country
has an administration made so many
serious blunders as have been made
by the Mckinley administration. For
proof of this the opinion of Demo-
cratic newspapers need not be taken.
The editorial columns Of the most inn
partial Republican newspapers provide
abundant proof on this point
The Chicago Tribune might have
gone one step further The fact is
that II is already the quite general
feeling that the Mckinley adninistra-
tion is "nerveiess, spineless and with
out convictions, adopting good policies
only to abandon them at the dictation
of incompetent advisers.

LET DEMOCRATS STAND UP FOR DEM
OCRACY.


The Democratic territorial central
committee meets in Oklahoma City to-
day to name the time and place for
holding the territorial nominating con-
ventions. The committee has no pow
er to build the issues and formulate
plans for the party in the territory,
but 1t is at liberty to thoroughly dis
cuss these matters and make recom-
mendations to the conventions. As a
rule committe recommendations are
given favorable consideration by the
delegate body. 1t is hoped the com
mittee now in session will be guided
by cool judgment and wisdom, and
the LEADER believes this will be the
case IL the committeeman act along
the lines OF the publicly expressed
views of @. g. Hornor Of this county.
In an interview Mr.. Hornor gays;
81 do not know just what will be
done in regard to fusion this year. So
far as the congressional election Is
concerned. there can only be one
brand OF fusion. IL will have TO be a
straight Democratic nominee and the
Populists endorse him."
The views Of Mr.. Hornor are shared
by 95 per cent Of the Democrats Of the
territory, The moment a committee
or convention surrenders it's Democ-
racy party identity is lost and political
mongrelism prevails. The Democracy
OF oklahoma cannot and will not be
deceived by the siren song of Office
seekers.
Congressional fusion ls empty there
Is no need OF IL, so far as thee Democ-
racy is concerned. Since all the re-
form forces think and believe with the
Democrats on ali vital questions, IL is
only fair and right to expect these
forces to join with Democracy In its
fight against the common enemy, The
failure of these reform forces 10
support the Democratic cause will
show insincerity. Whatever inroad is
made on Republican infamy in con-
gress, is done under Democratic staRd-
ards. A Popuist, elected by Demo
Gratis, is Populist in congress. okla
homa Democracy has nothing to win
by sacrifices. II is a strong, regnani
body and will continue TO be such
The Democrats OF Oklahoma should
be frm, but cordial and the invita-,
tion to all reform forces to unite with
il should be kept standing.

OUT CONVIOTIONS."


Scores Of Republican papers are
flied with bitter criticisms of the ma
tional administration. Such staneh
news papers as the Chicago Times
Herald. the Inter Ocean aud the st.
Louis Star have condemned the Puer-
to Rican tariff bill.
The Chicago Tribune is another Re
pablican newspaper that gives the ad-
ministration a word of warning and
withit bit Of rebuke. The Tribune
has this to say;
"The administration has fallen into
diaacnlties in many directions. 1t is
evident the administration Is In urg-
ent need of judicious advisers. BY 'ad
visers' we do not mean editors OF news
papers, but msn who have had exper-
ienco In public life. The president
should consult more frequently than
he seems TO have done men who know
something about legislation and know
II by experience in legislative or ex-
eeutive offices. They should be men
who have served in a city council or
state legislature, IL not in congress;
and men, too, who are not so far re-
moved from the people as to be ignor.
ant of their sentiments and emotions.

dents purpose TO keep his ear near

There are some republicans who
cannot turn corners as sharply as the
president can, and they are not sorry
for their lack Of fiexibility IN this re-
spect.
"The president, without needing to
do II has assumed the whole RESPONSE
biiity for the passage by the house of
the MANNED, mutilated, crippled and
inadequste Puerto Rico bill a measure
which eventually will be repudiAted
by both houses OF congress. he might
have kept bis hands of and let the
house "work out It's own salvation in

sacrificed. IL is scarcely supported
by any body. The three newspapers
in Chicago which have stood by the
president are against him In this mat
ter SO is the Indianapolis Journal,
while all Indiana IS In tumult aud q
