BY FAR THE WORST HOWL
Awful Roar of an Oklahoma Editor
Caused by Free Homes.

Guthrie. o: T., May 25.-The anti-Repub-
lican papers in the territory are still
striving to find some way to stem the
tide toward the Republican party in the
territory by Fiynns victory with free
homes. The most remarka Bile utterance
OF the week comes from the Medford
Star 1t doubts even whether free homes
is good thing and tells the settler that
IN eighteen months he will have paid back
TO the government every cent he saved
on free homes. The article is an astound-
ing one in the way Of complete and in
consolable misery and reads as follows:
'On last Thursday. May II, President
Mckinley caused sl50o0,CoO worth of ink
TO drop from little steel pen, attached
to red wooden pen holder onto a piece
OF paper known as the free homes bill
There never has been any news whispered
to resident of the territory that has
made him feel better since he came to
Oklahoma, except when the doctor told
him he may get well if he (the DOCTOR
continued to call: for the Oklahoman
argues, IF 1 can get well and him cali
ing, l can surely recover II he does not
prescribe any more for me-
The signing Of the free homes bill

sum OF money. an amount nearly one
half as large as Carnegse's income for
one year, will give 70 Oklahoma and all
western people better idea OF our ex

government. and the manner IN which II

and ever reaching an increasing pace.

another boy Of the same age were in the
cars gathering up coal when an engine
backed up against the cars. The boys

before they climbed out themselves. In
some way Farris fell under the train and
was run over. His leg was badly crush

The Victory of senator Allen.

Under what idea of dGuging the an
rouncement of a maxim OF International
Law, the leading members Of the Senate
should have opposed Senator Aliens desire
TO know why a diplomatic representative
from the Transyaal was not received by the
American Secretary OF State, and accorded
recognition as envoy OF a sister soyer-
eighty. We are at a loss to imagine The
fact that Senator Allen knew why, which is
notorious, does not matter-or rather it
does matter, because his object evidently
was to secure a rejection OF his proposition
for whatever purposes he may have had in
mind.
But there could have been no harm in
asking MIR. Hay to tell the Senate what
every member Of It knows already, namely,
that in the puryiew OF international law.
the South African Republic is not and
never has been an independent state; but
one under the suzerainty of Great Britain
This is not matter Of opinion, not an open
question, but one settled definitely and
specifically in the text OF every accepted
authority on international law extant.
Sentiment might possibly cause a nation
TO wish that II could accord full sovereignty
to the Beers; but, under the construction
which has been placed upon their legal
status as community by every govern
ment and by the common opinion Of pub
licists, such a thing could not be done
without constituting an affront very little
il anything short Of a casus belli 10 Eng
land.
1t is because the action taken by SEN
ator Allen is SO disingenuous, and unwor-
thy of him as a lawyer, that we think his
resolution should have been allowed to go
through. The assailable part OF his posi-
ton does not seem to have been even no.
ticed ia the Senate, and his misstatement
OF a fact in our South African relations. as
far as we can see, was not challenged.
He declared that while we have a repre-
sentative at Pretoria, the Kruger govern
rnent has not one in Washington He was
not frank enough to explain that We have
public with anything exceeding the strict
ly commercial powers of a consul, except
as the laws Of war and our recognition of
belligerency, supplemented by the desig-
nation OF our consul at Pretoria as me-
distor for British prisoners and subjects
within the local boundaries. confer upon
