For Chickasha First; The Indian
Statehood for Oklahoma.

A statehood convention fol
Oklahoma and the Indian terri
tory will be held at South Ne
Alester n9xt month. The dele.
gates will discuss plans to secure
statehood from congress at as
early a date as possibly Simila I
conventions have been held be.
fore, but have come to nothing,
owing to the hesitancy of Con
gress. Politics has affected the
situation, as the Republicans have
feared to admit another state
which might prove Democratic.
There are two. parties in the ad.
vOcacy of statehood. One fay0rs
the union of the two territories
and their admission as a single
state. The other would admit
them separately. In the Indian
territory, where the double state
hood idea is strong, it is argued
that Oklahoma already has sew
eIal public building and that she
would probably secure the capital
under single statehood. There is
also the question whether the
Okla roma politicians, with their
superior experience and organiza
tIon, might not control the official
positions of the new state.
Oklahoma's territorial debt is
given as another reason why the
Indian territory should hold
aloOf.
From Oklahoma's standpoint
double statehood would be deSir
able, because of the fact that it
Already has erected buildings for
its higher schools, while the
Indian territory is without such
structures except for Indians. Re
publicans point out the fact, too,
that their small majority in OKLA.

ed. The presence Of 5000
Indians in the Eastern territory
is another disturbing element.
These arguments fail TO take
account of the advantages to ac-
erue from the formation of single,
powerful state, advocates of sin
glehood declare. The last census
credits Oklahoma with 1893 ,245
aud the Indian territory Win oJl,-
900 inhabitants, exclusive Of
Indians. In area each territory
is about halfas large as Missouri.
After the admission of Montana,
Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, Con-
gress could not consistently re-

one state, it is pointed 1T that
the expenses of each uld be
nearly cut in two. The cry fact
that the new state had q area OF
10000 square miles and popula-
ton of 70,000--nearly as large as
Nebraska's--would be an adyer-
tisement for it throughout the
country. The diversity of terri
tory and the probable lightness
of taxes would attract capital.
Whatever the decision be about
single or double statehood, it is
apparant that congress cannot
well igLore the wishes of the
people for much longer time.
In wealth and population they
are entitled to exchange the terri
torial form ofgovernment for that

HARMONY.

little Claude Vaughan, and noting
the perfect harmony that existed
throughout that refined household
and the devotion of that most kind
and tender father, / am Impressed
to write the following verse
The flowers that's fairest and sweetest
That fortunes the golden morn;
Their loyliness seems the fieetest,
Yields first TO the winters storm.
In our garden sweet with posies,
There stood one of brightest hue
The essence Of eternal goodness
Humble, yet brave and true.
On the tronbled waves Of conflict
Or wnen kissed by the dews of morn;
His presence gave us gladness;
His absence make us mourn
Enraptured with art and music.
He would soar on her balmy wings,
As he drew bow OF finished power
Across the trembling strings.
But there's painful discord in our band
The absence OF sweet strains.
The orga pleads for his skilfun hand
Only groans to tell its pains.
There S vacant place-a vacant chair,
And anguish in each sad heart
And every thought gives birth to tears;
SAD memory that shallne'er depart
Yet love is the only bow
That illumines deaths lowery cloud;
1t ezalts what fate lays low
Drives fear from the solemn shroud
And perhaps the midnight here.

Mysterious is the birth,
As mysterious the depose.

PRETORIA'S DEFENSEo.
FOrtifieatiOns, Guns and Advantages
of the Position Unequaled.

A New York special to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat Of March
Is says:
Now that the British have taken
Bloemfountein, everybody is wait
ing for the attack of Pretoria. 1t
is taken for granted that her Maj
esty's forces will not march into
that Boer capital without the hard
est fighting of the war. Nobody
who has not seen them has any
comprehensive idea of the elabor-
ate preparations the Beers have
made for the defense Of their cap
ital. Not long ago a man, now in
New York, who has inspected
more than once the Notifications
OF Pretoria, and who negotiated
the purchase of many Of the guns
which will be used in defending
the Boer capital, told a reporter
about the Pretoria Notifications
and plan of defense, should the
British invade the Transvaal, and
this is what he said:
''The world has, it seemed, mar
veled not little at the skill with
which the Beers have withstood
the attacks OF the British and not
Il little surprise has been express
ed at the number of modern guns
which we have found to possess.
There will be a greater surprise
for everybody, and particularly
the British army, when Pretoria is
attacked. Then will be seen de-
fensive warfare, which, / believe,
will never been equaled. You
must remember that we didn't un-
dertake this war nnadvisedIy or
in q hurry. We had been prepar
ing for it ever since the Jamison
ralde, and for the past two years
the preparations have been pushed
with all care to completion.
'When the war began the Beers
did not hope to keep the British
from the Transvael as long as they
have, and they expected to have
to do their hardest fighting in
defending their capital. Accord

arms, ammunition and transporta-
tion to Frankfort. He also furn-
ished list of the men from tho
Southern counties who were re-
tained by the Republicans in
Frankfort from Jan. 25 until the
day that Gobel was shot. Some of
these men remained weeks after
the shooting and a few of them are
IN Frankfort now as the personal
bodyguard to Taylor. Golden
told further of conferences which
were held prior to the assassina-
tion of Gobel, at which were pres
ent the men who are in custody
and other prominent leaders Of
their party.
His statements connecting some
of the accused with the crime are
highly sensational, and will, when
made on the witness stand, prove
damaging to the defendants.
Golden claims that he will be able
to corroborate every statement he
makes with the testimony of men
whose names he furnished to the
attorneys to-day.
Ex-Congressman Colson, when
he heard that his old friend, Ber-
ry Howard of Harlan county, was
suspected of being implicated in
the murder of Goebel, sent for
him and arranged a meeting be-
tween Howard, Attorney Camp
bell and detectives who had been
working on the case. Howard, it
seems did not take part in the
killing, but he may have guilty
foreknowledge.

New York, Nov. 26.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: with rea-
sonable promptness business is recovering
both activity and tone, and fortunately
without the sharp rise in general prices
which was seen in the spring, and which
was followed by a sudden and serious trans
ition to a more natural range Manufac-
tured goods are rising in response to bet
ter demand from distributing sources,
helped at the end of the week by the,more
seasonable weather. Business is not yet
what it was on the top of the wave of in
dustrial prosperity, but the working force
Is fast increasing. The ordinary measures
of business reflects operations at all
points, but the textile markets are the
point of least response to the improved I'M
dertone of trade. -@
Failures for the week were 23S in the
United States, against 191 last year. and 20
In Canada, against q last year.
Bradstreet's says: Unsettled weather
conditions have operated to curtail retail
and jobbing distribution this week and inn
parted a quieter tone to several lines indi-
rectly associated Herewith. Stock specu-
latfon, too, has been less rampant, and
last weeks record of bank clearings has,
therefore, not been equaled. There is, how
ever, little or no apparent loss of basic
strength, and, indeed, the general level Of
staple prices has been slightly advanced.
This latter movement Is most notable in
the iron and steel trades, in raw cotton and
to lesser degree in the cereals and some
