AToKA APPR1sEMENT.

The fact that a large number Of
appraised lots at Atoka failed to sell
at all is conclusive proof that the
appraisment was altogether to high.
A. man who has built home upon
lot and then refuses TO bid it IN,
knowing well that under the law,
it may be sold over his head to
someone else, and that because he
considers the price demanded to be
exhorbitant, would Indicate that
there is something radically lictlc-
ious in the arbitrary value placed
or his property by the commission
and this view is borne out by the
fact that adjoining lots to those ap-
praised sold in many instances for
much less than the appraised lots.
The explanation of the townsite
board that the citizens had COM
bined for mutual protection and
refused to bid against each others
property is only good as far as it
goes, and if it proves anything, it is
that all the citizens of Atola con-
sidered the appralsment too high.
But then we know that there are
quite a number of Atoka's citizens
who took no part in the fight on
the townsite commission on account |
of the appraisment, but who stood |
behind it in every step. These |
were surely not in the combine and |
then there was large crowd of men |
attending court from all parts of
th territory who knew of the sale
and these were hardly in any CON-
bine, yet not one Of them is reported
to have gobbled up any of the num-
erous appraised "snapS" While the
sale was in progress. Secretary
Smiser says that the nation will only
get about $4,000 cut of Atoka
where he confidently predicted they
would realize $50, 600. 1t is quite
a difference, but then he should feel
consoled TO know that his town and
fellow citizens are that much better
off. BY the time Atoka bays all of
that S33 900 she will both feel and
look like she has been through the
and is ready for export at
most any old price. 1t is quite
enough tor one small town to have
to pay for liberty.-South McAles-
ter Capital.

Empire Made Manifest.

In its government of the Indian
Territory the Mckinley admins
tration, through various officials
evidently imbued with the imper-
ial spirit now possessing the Pres
ident himself, is furnishing an
illustration of the workings OF
Empire which should not be over
looked by the American people.
1t has already been shown, and
especially in the case of Federal
Judge Thomas, now the imperial
ialists at Washington are seeking
to destroy the independence of the
judiciary by threatening with re
moval from Office such as dare to
render decisions contrary to the
view held by administration
Officials. The imperialists do not
hesitate to advocate the theory
that in this section of the United
States the power of the Govern
ment's agents and of the military
is supreme above that of the Con-
stitution and of judicial rulings
based on the constitution. Fed
eral Judges who venture to hold
different opinion fall promptly
under the ban of the administra-
ton and are anything but secure
in their positions on the imperial
spirit in American Government is
the case of one +. M. Smith of
Vinita, /. T., who, removed from
the Territory under the provis-
ions of section 2149 of the revised
statutes Of the United States, for
refusing to pay the tribal export
tax on hay shipped to the states,
has found the imperial power
of a United States Indian In |
spector equal to the task of
suspending the laws of the land |
and authorizing him to return
without incurring the penalties
prescribed for such Offenses. /
There is no question of the /
offense, as there isalso no question
of the Inspectors violation of the
law. with the sanction Of the Sec
retary of the Interior, in permit
ting him TO escape the cOnse-
quenees. The 'authority of the
department" has been exercised
as being more potent than the law,
and superior to the law when de-
partment officials may so decree.

dangerous imperialism TO q de-

LIKE A BIG BROTHER.
The Way SanSalvador Regards the o.
S.-Wants Canal.

New York, March 13.-Senor Rafael
Zaldivar is in this city spending a few
days before going to Washington on
private business. Senior Zaldivar is the
envoy of San Salvador to the Cnancel-
tories of Europe. Upon his return to
New York he expects to receive instruc-
lions from his government informing
him whether he is to proceed to San
Salvador or return to Paris. In an in
terview he said:
When I left San Salvador the i'm
preston there was that the construction
of the Nicaragua canal would be OF
more benefit to Salvador than to Mica
ragua, because the former is a. produc-
ing country. L can not say that Sal
vader favors the control of the canal by
any one country, but if such a condi-
ton is to prevail the Central and South
American countries would prefer that
that control should be vested in the
United States, because the latter is
republic. They want no monarchy to
The people of my country believe
that they see in the completion of the
canal the commercial redemption of all
the South and Central American re-
publics.
Salvador and the other republics
in South and Central America would in
the event of invasion by a foreign pow
er, look to the United States to enforce
the principles of the Monroe doctrine.
The United States government is very
largely regarded in the light of a big
brother and would be depended upon
to tell outsiders to keep their hands off.
No republic in the south has doubted
the military strength of the United
States and the result of the Spanish
American war has not only confirmed
this belief but has demonstrated her
great maritime power.
No trouble is expected from ex-Presi-
dent Ezeta who is living in California.
He is a voluntary exile. He is at lib
erty to return to Salvador at any time
but he has so many enemies there that
he fears to do so.
A reporter repeated to Senator Jones
of Nevada who is also in the city, the
views of Senior Zaldivar and the sena-
tor said:
Il am in favor of the original Near
aqua canal treaty. I see no reason why
the United States should be put to
great expense Of maintaining naval and
military forces to protect the canal If
the latter is open to all countries there
is little danger that any foreign power
will seek to use it for belligerent pur-
poses.
The moment that any foreign country
made any such attempt every other
country would offer opposition and I
know of no one power that would dare
attempt it. Great Britain certainly
would not because we hold Canada and
the Northwest as hostages"

board of trade. yesterday voted to raise.
their charges on making transactions in
