Dennis Fiynn.-J L. johnson, of Buff
falo \. Y sat in the House gallery yes
terday and anxiously asked every friendly
looking visitor to point out to him the
Hon Dennis T. Flynn. the Delegate to
Congress from the bustlng and eXpectant
Territory of Oklahoma. II used to know
Flynn when he was poor but honest boot
black in Buffalo,. said Mr. johnson. and
| want to see him in the role of statesman.
As a bCotblack he was one of the brightest
boys | ever knew and | understand he is
one of the brightest members of the House
1t won't be long. | am told by people who
ought to know before Flynn will be SEN
ator Just think of The sudden and long
leap from bootblack on the streets of
Buffalo to seat in the United States Sen
ate, the most august legislative body in
the world and whose members enjoy
power and prestige equaled by few other
men in all Christendom.
II is a fact that Mr. Flynn is slated for
the Senate as soon as Oklahoma is admitted
to Statehood. The main feature of uncer-
tainty in his prospects lies in the proba-
bility that Oklahoma will not be elevated
to Statehood until the present status of
affairs in the Indian Territory is disrupted
by the abandonment of tribal relations the
allotment of the lands in severalty, and the
throwing open of that region to white set
tlement so that Territory can be attached
to Oklahoma as an integral part OF the
new State. The political complexion of
the whites in the Indian Territory is
strongly Democratic. and the tide of inn
migration that will rush into it from Mis-
souri, and Arkansas as soon as the Territory
is thrown open to settlement will be dOmi-
mated by Democrats. This may oyerwhelm
the Republican majority in Oklahoma when
the two Territories are fused into a State
so that the senatorial aspirations of the
Hon. Dennis Flynn may never reach sub
stantial results 1t is said that Col. Bob
Owen of the Indian Territory. who is well
known in Washington. is pretty apt to be
one of the first Senators from the pros
pective State if the Democrats dominate the
coalition

''It would be base thing, remarked
Mr. Hoar in the Senate yesterday Tor
this country TO strike down the young
republic in the Philippines" The aged
Senator from Massachusetts should be
more explicit What young republic does
he refer to? Does he mean the rowing
bands of Malay cutthroats who torture and
butcher the prisoners they take? Does he
mean the savage brutes who tried to mur-
der Gilmore and his men and who have
plotted two massaeres of American women
and children in Manila?

senator Mason NeNt.-A friend

senator Mason Next.-A friend Of the
Hon. Billy Mason is responsible for the
statement that that infammatory ami
fearful advocate Of the untutoFed Filipino
is going to get after Senator Beveridge i'll
way that will make the young Hoosier
statesman wish he had never been born.
The story is that the Illinoisan registered a
solemn vow. when it was announced that
Senator Beverdge was to make a speech
on his Philippine resolution. to resent in
as forcible manner as parliamentary rules
will permit any insinuation that the con
duct of the opponents of annexation has
strengthened the hands of the Malay in
surrectionists Now that the Indianan has
boldly declared that upon the hands OF
Aguinaldos sympathizers in this country
is the blood of all American soldiers kill
ed in the Philippines it is supposed that
Senator Mason will make good his threat.
1t is stated that in his reply he will read
in the Senate the now famous communi-
cation to an indianapolis newspaper, un
der Washington date line. extolling Sen
ator Beveridge as a worthy successor of
Webster Clay. and Calhoun. and will
openly charge MIR Beveridge with the au-
thorship of that glowing tribute 10 his
craftsmanship. his erudition. and his pull
chritude. II Senator Mason makes the at
tack il is supposed he will give due notice
of its date so as to have crowded galleries
to witness his performance. II is not
known whether Senator Beyeridge has
been informed OF the threat or what he
will dc if Mr.. Mason attacks him in the
manner indicated.

One of the witnesses against Senator
Clark in the Montana case before the Sem
ate has contributed to the moral litera-
ture of the age an entirely new definition
of truth and falsehood. According to this
expert, truth is correct statement made to
a person who has right to it. The cor
ollaries of the proposition are several and
important truthful statement TO per-
son not entitled to il is lie; an untruth-
full statement to a person not entitled to
the truth is tantamount to the truth, and
so on 1t happens, Interestingly, that this
discoverer of the real truth serum had pre-
viously testified before Daily committee
of the Montana Legislature. 1t would be
edifying to know how he regarded that
body in respect of it's right and title to
get the truth from him; also. whether or
not he considers the Senate committee as
entitled to straight goods, We are afraid
that evidence of the kind he is likely to
give would on moral grounds, be carefully
and obviously scrutinized by a frontier

4 Blackburn HumOr.-What is gener-
ally believed to be wild and irresponsible
rumor has gained some vogue during the
past few days, to the effect that Senator
Backburn's seat will be contested by the
Republicans on the ground that the Goebei
law is unconstitutional. and that without
the benefit OF that law Blackburn could Tot
have been elected Enquiry among Re
publican Senators has failed TO substan-
tiate the rumor, which nevertheless, con-
tinues to be discussed in whispers IL Is
stated that Senator Lindsay viii conduct
the fight against Blackburn, and that
Judge I.ludsay's continued absence from
the Senate is due 10 the preparation he is
making for the contest Ii is not claimed
that Judge Lindsay would hope TO per-
sonaIIy profit by the contest should IL be
disastrous to Senator Blackburn, because
the Judges name has not been voted on
al Frankfort It is said. however. that the
principal purpose Of the proposed proeeel-
ing would be TO thoroughly venulate the
Goebel law in the Senate SO as TO prepare
tho mind OF the country for the reversal OF
the electoral vote of Kentucky by the
House next spring if the Presidential con
test should be 80 close as TO make TIE
thirteen votes of the Blue grass State nee
essary to the reelection OF Mr.. Mckinney
Very few Kentuckians, irrespective OF tac-
tionaI affiliation, believe that Senator Lind
say would lend himself 10 such a scheme.
and il. therefore, seems probable that the
rumor is utterly devoid Of foundation III
fact.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Why the Delay COM
ment has been caused in Democratic
circles by Colonel Bryan's postponement
for week of his projected invasion of the
enemy's country" Nearly a month ago be
accepted an invitation to dine with o. II.
p. Belmont at the Democratic Club in New
York on the 18th instant. Engagements
for other dates had been made, based on
the understanding that the Nebraskan
would cross the Alleghenies before the 18th.
But all appointments are now in an un-
certain state. 1t is not even known wheth-
er Colonel Bryan will stop in Washington
on his way East or on his return to the
West. The cause of his postponement OF
his start is the subject OF varied conjec-
lures. All surmses lead to one central be-
lief; that is, that the colonel wants TO
check the incipient mutfny in the camp OF
his former Popuiist allies before leaving
the stronghold OF that cult for the East.
1t is pointed out as a probability that Col
onel Bryan does not wish to come East as
the idol merely of the Western and South
ern wings of the Democracy, but also as
the undisputed leader of the allied forces
opposed to gold monometallism. IL is
