LINCOLN ON MKINLEY,s POLlCY.

LINCOLN ON M'KINLEY'S POLICY.
The Republican national platform
promises TO the people of the Philip
pines 1.-THE largest measure of self
Sovernmentc consistent with their wei
fare and our duties" Abraham Lin
coin opposed of this specious plea,
in his time, as It has been in every
time by the apologists Of the govern
ment without the consent of the gov
erned. In the course of one of his ia
nous series of speeches, replying to
Douglas, the Republican president
said
"These arguments that are made,
that the inferior race are TO be treated
with as much allowance as they are
capable of enjoying; that as much is
to be done for them as their condition
will allow-what are these arguments?
They are the arguments that kings
have made for enslaving the people in
ali ages Of the world. You will find
that all the arguments in favor Of
kingcraft were of this class; that
they always bestrode the necks of the
people, not that they wanted to do it,
but because the people we're better off
for being ridden. Turn it whatever
way you will, whether it come from
the mouth of king, an excuse for en-
shaving the people of the country, or
from the mouth of men of one race
for enslaving the men of another, it is
all the same old serpent"

Lots of people are all right WHO
don't get any credit.
The more worthless a man, the more
children ~ has.
There are never as good things in a
neighbours refrigerator as the visiting
boy imagines.
A nice kind of person who does
not hold you responsible today for
what you said yesterday.
You can acquire money and dieting
will improve your health, but unless
you are born with senses you can never
have any.
The "pensive" air is over-done.
Girls are beginning to assume a pen
sive air when nothing more serious
happened than that the supper didn' t
suit them.
Every girl in love tells enough of
her family affairs TO her young man
to give him the impression that on his
wedding night, he will be knight
errant rescuing damsel in distress.

WILL NoT COMMUNICATES.
Joe Runneis Has Never Told His story
to Any One.

Joe Runneis Has Never Told His story
to Any one.
To be confined in the county jail
does improve ones physical state and
Joe Runnels shows the effect, of just
few days mprisonment. He has
blesched out and lost several pounds
of flesh on account of his being con-
fined in jail,
a LEADER representative was down
TO see him and talk with him today,
but he had nothing to say. He has
never said a word TO anyone. His
story is still his own and w.l never be
given to the public until it is neces-
sary.
Joe is very hopeful and feels that he
will get along alright. All that he
asks is for each one who knows any
thing to tell the whole truth. DE
thinks that when the whole truth is
known that public opinion will be
changed and the fault of the sad ca
lamity placed where il belongs. He
does not fear a trial and has desire
to be tried by an intelligent jury.
Joe never sees anyIof the outside
world now except the narrow view
from the small windows of the Jail.
He never hears what is going on in
politics or in national affairs. Shut
up with few negro prisoners he is a
most solitary soul. He sees q paper
once in while bat 1T is two or three
days old, and he would thank friend
for bringing him one that is up to date
once in while. He has family and
in it are several children. His good
wife cocks his mea' for him and one
of his little boys brings it to him. He
says it tastes better when it comes
from home. Joes friends call on him
and endeavor to jolly and cheer him
and it makes him feel good Joe will
be in Jail until the next term of court,
which meets in September.

THE Populists of Kay county are
wise. In turning down tie ambitious
Robert Neff, who is trying to run for
congress while holding the Office of
probate judge, they merely followed
the lines OF sense and judgment, and
in endorsing Tom Smith for con-
gress they considered the general fit
ness OF things. Smith stands we'll
with the Populists of the entire terri
tory. He is not ofice-hungry, and
therefore will not be forced to suffer
an amputation of political appetite
prior ID entering the convention.

CHEYENNE and ARAP4HOE DE

MOCRACY.
We see that the Cloud Chief Beacon
is yet unduly wrought up over the re-
suit of the territorial convention at El
Reno, and in order, apparently, to
vent its pent-up bile, it criticises the
LEADER for supporting the cause Of the
regular Democracy of oklahoma. The
aim of the Beacon seems to be to stir
up the Cheyenne and Arapahoe coun-
try against the Democrats of the east
and north. The Beacon says: lover
thirty thousand Democrats from south
west Oklahoma were in that conven-
tion by their duly elected delegates,
one of whom was the first man to sug-
gest the organization of Democratic
convention or Democratic principles
aud by Democrats" Now the fact of
the matter is the thirty thousand good
Democrats of southwest Oklahoma
care not farthing for the views of
fered by the Beacon. That paper does
not in any way reflect the sentiments
of southwest Democrats, who are as
much opposed to combines and
bolts as the Democrats of
any other section. The Beacon's
yawps at the Leader are for effect
among a certain coterie of politicians,
And, moreover, the Beacon's sore
spots are absolutely personal J. K.
Little, editor of the Beacon, was a
mem Der of the minority combine at
Ell Reno. He was candidate for del
egate and, being turned down, is nat
urally grief-stricken and now seeks to
magnify his own personal and politi-
cal shortcomings into revolt of the
Democrats Of the southwest against
the regular Democracy of Oklahoma.
The Democrats of the Arapahoe and
Cheyenne country cannot be led astray
by siren voices. They are loyal to the
party organization and will never be
found in the camp of sulkers. The
Leader admonishes Brother Little to
brace up and be good, LIE: him keep
his ears to the ground and his eyes
open in order that he may distinguish
between party organization and social
istic density.
