The Republican party Is more deeply
stirred by the Porto Rican question than
1t has been by any political issue in
many years. The Republican press
particularly at the west, is practlcally
unanimous in condemuing the proposed
tariff Ex-President Harrison regards
It as "a most serious departure from
right principles" Leading politicians
of Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Illinois tell the president that their
states are IN dagger of being lest on this
issue.
This outbreak of independence is
creditable to the party; but what is the
occasion of it? Is ii that the proposed
tariff would be unconstitutional: But
why strain at gust after having

The Element of Permanence in Novels.
A hostile critic once sneered ar Cooper
on the ground that he had created only
one or, at most, two original characters
fit to rank with historical personages In
mems minds. William Cullen Bryant
replied with the query, GLOW many
modern novelists have created even one
such personage?' TO entertain the read
er for space seems to be the sole object
of the majority of srOrywrters. 1t is an
easy thing to do if the novelist is clever
But after the entertainment is over the
lights are turned out and last years novel
is as dead as a last years birds nest.
The ultimate test of greatness In novel.
writing seems to be the creation of char
acters that live, characters whose names
men mention precisely as they mention
those of historical persOnages. The nov
els that survive as part and parcel of
permanent literature are precisely those
whose persOnages thus take hold upon
the human mind. Robinson Crusoe is as
much an historical character as Caesar
or Alexander. SO is sam Weller. SO,
/ too, are Sancho PanZa, Don Quixote, DR.,
! SangradO and Gil Bias. 1t is by this
measure that we reckon Shakespeare
greatest among mankind. 1t is by rea-
son of Col. Newcome, stunning" War
rington, Becky Sharp and the rest that
we cherish Thackeray in memory. Just as
we revere George Eliot for Romola and
Dorothea, while we refuse to re-read any

perusal. 1t is not wit, it is not humor,
it is not philosophy that gives perman-

character, the presentation of personages
so vital that they cannot be distinguish

in all the races. Bourbon Miller still
says'the Bluejacket dogs are hard to
beat, which they certainly are, and
difference of opinion will more than
likely bring the Bluejacket and
Welchdogs together for a match race
at no far off date. There was only
one Ninita man in the gay crowd of
aunters and every time he would at
tempttc make a wild-eyed talk for
his home dogs the crowd would give
him the horse-laugh and say "Set
down Smith" and all be could do was
to hush.
Well, it was an elegant day for the
contest and everybody enjoyed them
selves hugely. The Bluejacket boys
are all fine fellows and treat their \

that the moons shadow would nave

find the total phase last a full min

Mr.. Evershed had special reasons for
wanting to be at the edge Of the shad-

miles inside the northern boundary Of

MK& 7 Reduces 1tsIes in Indian

Ever since the construction of the
M. K. g. T. Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basisOt five cents
mile. The customary rate of pas
senger fares on railroads except in
sparsely settled country. is three
cents mile. The population OF the
Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been a large increase Of
passenger traaic on this account. and
the Katy officials, recognizing the
wants Of the people and the justice Of
50 doing, have voluntarily arranged
to reduce the local passenger rate to
a basis Of three cents mile. This
reduction will take effect about Nor-

A SCORE OF 80 TOO
Just About Tells All There is to Tell
of the Easy Victory the Sem
mary Boys Gained in
a 0ne-Sided Game
Yesterday.

A bulk Of husky, athletic young
manhood swarmed over the plet'
form at the Katy depot shortly af'
ter midnight yesterday morning
yelling-ful full-lunged-"We'r all
right" Their cries further told
US that they we're the members Of
the Seminary football team from
Tahlequah and that they came ac-
companied by a retinue of sub
stitute players and equally strong
langed, voclferoes rooters, intent
upon taking the scalp Of the Tulsa
team.
The membars Of the latter teaGn
arrived the evening before and
their appearance was such as to
lead many into Lac belief that they
would refuse to surrender their
scalps in yesterdays game. They
proved "easy" for the boys trom
Tahlequah, however, being not so
strong, fleet, or cunning In tho
tricks and moves of the game as
their opponents.
The Tanlequah boys had the
Tulsa team at their mercy from
the start and did not have to call
in play several Of their wedge
formations and '1buck" lines. OF
the Tulsa team the play Of H. W..
Perryman, D. M. Beaver, Sam Me-
BiEney and P. T. Bluejacket was
at times brilliant. Space today
forbids, unfortunately, detailed
repert of the contest but it can be,
said that the Tahlequah boys
safely ran around the ends or but
ted their way through center just
aboutaas they pleased proving that
they are, indeed, -"all right. !"
Both teams averaged i155 pounds
but the seminary boys seemed the
stronger and played more
"heady'' game.
1t is no reflection upon the play
of the other members Of the vic.
torious team to especially mention
the names of Captain Joe Ross, B.
w. Meeks and J. c. Woodall, as
to whom mach of the easy victory
is due. Ross made four touch
downs in the game, 20 points;
two, len points and Meeks
one with FIVE points, total of 95
points. -Four more points were
added by goal kicks by Ching
Smith making the score 80 to 0. !

SPIRITS TURPENTINE-Whil there
were reported sales at the Board OF Trade
to-day of 500 casks of spirits at Al cents,
it is not understood the situation is very
strong at this price. After the closing it
was reported that the demand was I'M
sa satisfactory. This seems to be due large
IL 10 the fact that the receipts of turpen-
tine for July were estimated at 10 per
cent. above the receipts for the same
month previously. This tends to make
BUYERS doubtful about the receipts for
August falling off. as is usually the case,
and for this reason they are awaiting the
outcome. Until there are reasonably sure
evidences one way or the other IL seems
probable that there may be, continued
restricted demand. The effect Of this will
be to bring about Accommodations in fac
tors hands that may result in further
concessions. The days receipts were 1861,
sales 500. and the exports 2,2S1.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed firm
to-day with the only changes being in
window glass. quoted at $3.50 and $2.S5,
and water white at 81 60 and 81 IS. These
changes we're reported at the opening,

which constituted the days business. The

the exports 6,1l5. The following were th1
