HARD TO PLEASE.

The essential meanness and un'
American quality of the New Demo,
cracy was never SO manifest as in its
treatment of the duty of the United
States government with reference to
| the situation in China. Since the
troubles there began there has been
nothing of the disposition to sink
Ipartisanship in patriotism that
honored Democracy for a few short
weeks just prior to the declaration OF
war with Spain. Now it is all cap
tiousness, snarling and finding fault
for the sake of faultA6nding.
All of the Democratic newspapers
are arrayed against the administra-
ton. Not a few of them have gone
on record as criticising it for exactly
opposite reasons. Whenever, during
the past weeks of uncertainty and
anxiety, it seemed probable that
Minister Conger was safe and that
the Boxers would be put down, they
have declared that the sending of
troops to China was part of the i'm
perialistic program, for which the
president could not be condemned
too strongly. When the dispatches
took gloomier turn and hope waned
the same Democrats arranged the
administration for not having taken
more effectual measures to secure the
safety of life and property in the
Chinese empire.
The contradiction in terms, of |
which most Democrats appear to be
profoundly unconscious, is but one
effect of the deterioration that the |
party has experienced since it be-
came rabid on the neutrality-suspicious.
issue. Since thsn it has viewed |
every event, at home and abroad,
through these spectacles. The com
measures for the national
defense, the provision to maintain the
national honor and to safeguard our
citizens in other parts of the world,
have been only SO many opportuni-
les to the average Democrat to
advance his silly charge of a CONVEX
sion of the government into an engine
If arbitrary power. We are as
;onished and ashamed that so many
American citizens should feel them
'elves compelled by party necessity
o descend to this low plane, and
leny honesty and loyalty with same
word. They are only helping to dig
leeper the grave Of the Democratic
party; for our people have no
,atience and no tolerance for this
ort of attitude.-Red Wing Repub-
ican

President Mitchell Issues q State
ment and Declines Absolutely to
Discuss it-conveution Demands
Recognition Of Union.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 13.-The
convention of the United Mine
Workers to consider the offered
ten per cent advance and a re-
duction in the price of powder
per keg began yesterday. The
morning session and a part of
the afternoon were open to the
public, but at 3 o'clock this even
ing President Mitchell gave out
the following: cat three o'clock
the convention went into execu-
tive session, and the password
of the organization was taken up
after which motion was passed
that the convention proceed to
the discussion of the proposition
made by the operators through
notices posted at the mines.
The convention decided that such
delegates as desired could speak
for themselves.
"The question was asked if all
operators has posted notices ad.
vancing wages ten per cent, and
it was ascertained that a large
number of individu ual operators
had not yet notified their man of
their willingness to pay any ad-
vance.
During the entire session the
question as issued was debated
by the delegates in an earnest,
conservative manner, and the
opposition of the operators ap-
peared TO be an intense desire to
have the organization officially
reorganized. No motions were
adopted bearing upon the wage
scale. The convention adjourned
to meet at 9 o'clock tomorrow.
Despite a request by the re-
porter for a more extended state
ment, Mitchell refused to add
one word to what was contained
in the statement. He refused to
say what subjects will be taken
tomorrow, but it is understood
that steps will be taken to see If
a more advantageous offer can
not be secured from the opera
tors, as we'll as fixing a time
limit for the duration of the pro-
ferred advance.
Mitchell was nominated for
permanent chairman and unani-
mously chosen. Mitchell thank
ed the convention for the honor.
John T. Dempsey was chosen
secretary. The convention bids
fair to last several days. There
were 851 delegates present.

terday from Indian Agent Shoen-
felt. They were addressed to the
merchants whose houses were
closed yesterday and all were SUBJ
stantially the same. One of them
read as follows:
Have revoked order Of remov-
val from Territory on condition of
payment of tax today to tribal au-
thorities. -
This would seem to indicate an
intention on the part of the Indian
agent to further harrass the re-
calcitrant merchants if they do not
pay the tax promptly. What salu-
tary effect such action could have
in solving the present difficulties
is not very apparent for the rea-
son that removal from the Terri
tory has been tried before at Pauls
Valley and served no purpose ex-
cept to give the victim an cnforc-
ed excursion to Gainesville.
We learn that one or two of the
merchants paid their tax yesterday
after their stores were reopened,
but the majority of them still in
sist on an adjudication of their
claims in the higher court to de-
termine whether or not they are
being legally taxed. What the
end Of the whole thing will be no
one can even rightly surmise at
this time, but it seems certain that
the point has been reached where
a final determination of the issues
involved must be reached.
The Indian agent seems deter
mined to enforce the collection of
the tax by any means within his
power. while Judge Townsend
seems equally determined that the
business men shall not be de-
prived of their property without
due process of law. 1t is safe to
say that the end is not yet, and
that the fight will be a long and
stubborn one unless some unex-
pected denowement takes place.

SIX BUSINESS HOUSES CLOSED BY INDIAN AUTHORITIES
ltHad Come to Showdown Between Tribal
Government and Ardmore Business
$ Men and the Latter Held Best
Hand--End Not in Sight.

Friday evening Captain Jack
Ellis, accompanied by squad of
Indian police, arrived in the city
and put up at the Wilmington
hotel.
They refused to discuss the OBJ
ject of their visit, but it was soon
rumored that they had come to
enforce the collection of the tribal
per cent. tax, aud, as many of
our business men have refused to
pay the tax until its legality is
passed upon by the higher courts,
some fun was looked for yesterday
morning.
All who know Captain Jack
Ellis respect him as a gentleman
in every way and know that, while
firm and unflinching in the dis
charge of duty, as a man he has
the utmost respect for the rights
and privileges of others. How
ever harsh and unjust may be the
law which he is commanded to exc
cute, all know that its execution
will be performed in a gentlemanly
manner. This character and con-
duct of Captain Ellis has always
made him friends among those
who suffered most from the au-
thority which he executes.
About 8 o'clock yesterday
morning the full purpose of the
visit became manifest when Cap
tain Ellis visited the big wholesale
store Of A. Kloski and under or
ders from Indian Agent Shoenfelt
proceeded to close the doors of this
establishment against possible
customers for failure of the pro-
prietor to pay the l per cent. tax.
After closing the doors Captain
Ellis placed an Indian policeman
before the store to guard against
the resumption of business.
The big retail house of Sig ST.
mon & Bro, was the next place
visited and here the same action
was taken. We are informed that
Mr.. Kloski rendered the amount
of his tax to prevent the closing of
his place of business, but that it
was refused pending instructions
from Muskogee as the time for
payment had passed, and Captain
Ellis had no authority to acceut
payment.
By this time an immense crowd
had assembled to watch the pro-
ceedings and from this time on the
tall form of the Indian chief of
police was the center of attraction
and the crowd followed wherever
he led.
From Sig Slmon's the crowd
followed across the street to the
dry goods store of R. w. Randol.
which was soon put out of busi-
ness and placed under guard.
Up the street then to John
Fielder's grocery store went the
crowd, following the same lead.
and here a fourth policeman was
detailed to see that NO business
was transacted.
Y. B. Lynn's shoe store was
next visited and then Jake's gro
Gerry, this being the last establish
ment to suspend business under
comrulsion.
The reason for the halt in pro-
ceedings was the report that Unit
ed States District Judge Townsend
was preparing to take 6 hand IN
the game, and Captain Ellis with
drew to his hotel to await develop
ments.
The business men had not been
idle while all this was taking place.
but had applied to the attorneys
of the business mems League to
secure relief for them. An applica-
ton for an injunction was quickly
drawn and presented to the Hon.
