tlsticians at work to twist and com.
bine alleged statistics in order to prove
that the country is prosperous.
The statistics will be carefully la
beled "ofiicial" and in certain sarcas-
tic sense they are. 1t is entirely true
that they were collected at the expense
OF the government, government clerks
compiled them and the matter is sent
forth from the government printing Of
fee.
1t only shows what a conveniently
supple conscience this administration
has, that it can use every government
resource and spend the peoples money
for partisan purposes, to so misrepre-
sent the facts that voters may be be-
guiled into giving il second term.
Mr.. Austin's statistics will be widely
quoted by republican orators and
handed out to the people as Gospel
truth, so il may be as well for them to
know in advance the value of Mr.. Aus
tins labors. Statistics can be garbled
to prove any theory that ever was inn
agined and the republican necessity is
so great that much juggling of figures
is needed. The voter, however, knows
what the facts are in his section and in
his own individual case. The republic
an statistics are apt to be a boomerang.

NO ESCAPE FROM THE ISSUE.
Republican Governors Doing All I'm
Their Power to COndone
Murder.

1t is no mere conjecture that ex-
Gov. Taylor, indicted as accessory to
the murder of Gov. Goebel and chosen
delegate to the Philadelphia conven-
ton, has an understanding with Gov.
Stone of Pennsylvania. 1t is no mere
inference from the fact that Gov.
Mount has given him protection in In
diana.
Taylor's friends who are in posi-
ton to know, and who see no reason
why they should make any secret of
their knowledge, declare that assur-
ances have been given that no requisi-
tion for him will be honored while he
is in Pennsylvania.
This admission warrants the as
sumption that like assurances have
been received from the republican gov
ernor of Ohio. since it obviously would
be unsafe for Taylor to attempt to
pass through Ohio if there was reason
to think Gov. Nash would honor a
Kentucky requisition.
When the republican governors of
three states join in sheltering Taylor
the only states where there are repub-
lican governors in which he has had oc-
casion to seek shelter-there is no room
to doubt that all republican governors
would be equally hospitable.
And when Taylor is received as an
honored member of the republican ma
tional convention the attitude of the
republican party toward the political
assassination issue as it is represented
in Kentucky cannot be involved in
much doubt.
Why should the republican govern
ors of various states refuse to honor
a requisition from the governor of
Kentucky for this particular fugitive?
Is it because they believe the accused
will be denied justice in Kentucky?
They have no right to assume any
such thing. 1t is not a political party
which demands the surrender of Tay-
lor. 1t is the state of Kentucky. Tay-
lor has been indicted by a grand jury.
He is wanted to stand trial before a
court and jury.
1t is idle to pretend that he cannot
get fair trial before an impartial
jury in state where he was one.
elected governor and where he claims |
to have been elected second time. |
Rational people will refuse to believe |
any such thing.
But if there is no reason to doubt
that the accused would be fairly tried |
there is no possible excuse for not |
surrendering him, unless it is the ex-
cuse that political assassination is
justifiable and laudable if it is in the
interest of particular party.
When republican governors refuse to
give up Taylor, when the representa-
tives of the republican. party in ma
tional convention receive him with
open arms, they indorse political as
sassination in practical way that
speaks louder than any platform de-
liverance. They make political assas-
sniation an issue. They do so deiber-
ately, and they leave for themselves no
door of escape.-Chicago Chronicle.

Many republicans of note, and
many more not SO distinguished, have
been compelled to condemn the presi-
dents policy of Imperialism and to
warn their party of the perilous path
upon which it has now entered. The
great mass of the American people,
there is now good reason to believe,
are Enthusiastically terrified by Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Reputation of American prin-
ciples. To no American mind is the
belief possible that protest against
the policy of Imperialism may be
voiced with any hope of good re-
suits within the ranks of the repub-
lican organization. That party must
now be fought as the party of en-
pire. The salvation of the republic
depends upon the successful issue of
this fight.-St. Louis Republic.

Guthrie Scheme That Failed.

Washington, March 2l.-The
legislative appropriation bill passed
the house some days ago with a
rider providing that the legislative
assembly of Oklahoma shall not
consider or pass any bill for the
removal of the capital from its
present location. This would not
have prevented the legislature
from making appropriation for the
permanent location of a capitol
building at Guthrie. However,
Oklahoma City was not asleep, for,
about fifteen minutes before the
bill passed the senate, a further
proviso was inserted in the bill to
the effect that the said legislative
assembly shall not make any 'ap-
preparation or enter into any con-
tract for the location of perman-
ent capitol building. w. F. Harm
secured the latter provision and il
cannot fail to become law.

A MAJORITY of the postoffice
aspirants in Ardmore are willing
to submit their claims to a popular
vote for endorsement, the most
popular man to receive undivided
support for the place. This ap-
pears to be the most equitable way
to decide the matter from the
standpoint of the public. The
postoffice being the most import
ant federal Office to the public
generally it would seem perfectly
right and proper that the public
should have an opportunity to
express a choice, and a person
seeking to serve the public should
be willing that the public pass

0sman Pasha. the Hero Of Plevna.
Is Dead.

New York, March PA dis
patch from Constantinople an
nounces the death of Osman Pasha
the hero of Plevna and the great
est Turkish soldier of recent times.
He was 6S years old. His defense
of Plevna against an overwhelming
Russian force in 1876 gave Osman
enormous prestige. By the en-
trenchments he caused to- be
thrown up he arrested for four
months the advance of the Rus
slams. In three pitched battles he
overcame the finest troops of the
czar's armies. On July /, 1876.
he inflicted loss of 5000 killed
and wounded on his assailants.
The next battle cost the Russians
10 officers and 7,136 men, and
the three days stubborn assault of
Skabeloff later on, when the Rus
sian grenadiers got within 500 yards
of the trenches, but failed to pass
the fatal fire zone, ended in a Rus
sian loss of from $1,000 to 0,00O
men.
1t was resolved to starye out the
army of Osman, which originally
numbered about 5000 men, and
an army of 12O, 900 Russians com
pleted the investment.
At length, forty-five days after
the close seige had been establish
ed, and IA days after his own ar
rival at Plevna, Osman determined
on desperate attempt to cut hi
way through. The struggle wa
of the fiercest sort, but man.
hours bayonet fighting ended il

death of the famous general, b

He has deprived me of my honest
