We do not think il was matter
of serious concern in the first in
stance whether Tuten or Jackson
had been nominated, provided it
had been done fairly, but it is of
serious concern whether our prima-
ries, held by sworn officers, shall be
binding or be disregarded at will
by those who go before them.
What shall we do in the future?
Shall we hold primaries to nomi-
nate candidates? II we do, must
the will of the majority be over
turned by few bosses; or must we
abide the action and obey the in
struction therein given? Our NOM
inee for Representative was nomi-
mated by the same primary which
nominated Jackson. Let us sup
pose that w. J. Cox, over whom
he was nominated, should have re-
fused to submit, and should have
insisted on supporting some one
else-we agree he would have been
a disorganizer, a bolter, if you
please. Reaves has done this very
identical thing in regard to Jack
son. Is he not by the same token a
bolter? Oh, no, he is "true dem
ocrat :" There is a moral obliga-
ton that rests Oh every man who
goes before a convention or primary
to abide it's action. In law the first
party who violates his obligation
releases the other party from his.
If results are accomplished in con-
ventions by boiling instructions,
and by ignoring the usages and pre-
cedents of the party, such conVen-
ton ceases in reality to be, a demo-
cratic body and becomes a sort Of
mob, and a moral obligation tests
upon no one to abide its action.

Our observing people have noticed in
the last few days the frantic efforts of
half starved and shivering birds and

stream which runs from to 80 feet
in width and from six inches to many
feet in depth. Men have Waded in the
stream until the water reached their
chins and then gone in boat to points
where they were unable to touch bot
tom with the longest oars. A farmer
carried his boat into the cave several
years ago to follow the stream to it's
end. At a depth estimated to be 200
feet below the surface of the ground il
a natural bridge formed by huge
stone that fell across the stream. The
water plunges underneath this bridge
like mill race. \ boat can be pulled
over the bridge, however and launched
on the other side. About 100 feet below
the bridge the stream Widens into a
broad, deep pool, with a high vaulted
roof. Beautiful stalagmites and
stalactites adorn this chamber. Two
hundred feet below this pool the pass
age is difficult. 1t is claimed that this
cave has been explored for a mile.
The stream is believed to find its out
let at a spring about three miles from
the entrance to the cave. This spring
is of great size and volume and flows
with remarkable sWiftness. In rainy
seasons the spring boils and gushes as
if choked with the flood of water that
pOurs from its mouth. The stream in
Rock Prairie Cave rises when there is
a heavy rainfall in the surrounding
country, and the increased flow Of both
springs and stream at such times is
taken as evidence that they are con-
nected.-FTom the Oklahoma State

Why 2

My Clara bought a gaudy book,
With c0l0red pictures illustrated;
1t teaches her, she says, to cook
In other things she's educated.
But, oh! she still her bread will burn,
Her steak is hard and she will fry 1t;
To cook | know she'll never learn,
Why will she try it?
l have a friend who wrote a book
He means, he says, to write another.
The greatest fortitudp it took
To hear it read. L had to smother
Some awful yawns. I'd have to call
The man an idiot who'd buy it;
But then poor Jones can't write at all,
Why will he try 1t?
I know girl who loves to sing
And does so at the least persuasion,
Or mons at allan awful thing,
l know by one most sad occasion.
Her voice might have some sort of use
If to saw filing she'd apply 1t.
But singing! She has no excuse,
Why will she try it?
And so 1t goes. Most people pant
To do the things they're most unfit for
To preach-to paint-we know they can't
And what they can don't care bit for.
Perhaps we, too, our calling miss,
But tell us so and we'll deny 1t.
We still will fool with that or this,
Why will we try 1t?

THE GERM4H TARIFF.

The government of Germany and the
Agrarians have practically compro-
missed. which indicates the final adop-
ton of the new German tariff which
passed to it's third reading on Satur-
day by a vote of more than 2 to l.
Germany seems to be adopting the poll
icy of adjusting its tariff, so far as it
affects foreign trade, with view to
dealing with other nations severally
rather than collectively, to be in a po-
sition to grant reciprocal favors and to
exercise retaliation instead of treating
all alike.
It would appear from the debates in
the Reichstag that the dominant pur-
pose of some of the supporters of the
bill was to find means of resisting the
encroachments of the United States
upon German markets, and of check
ing its growing competition in foreign
trade. The tariff favored by the Ag-
rarians is directed against Ameri-
can food products chiefly. The Ag-
rarians hope to Immediately benefit
Germanys agricultural interests
through a tariff war with this country.
Such a war is not dreaded here. This
country can stand it better than Ger
rTo0pxy nar on1 would oroia h1y II in +ba
long run.

KEALIH.

The remarkable increase of wealth in
this country is well evidenced by the
multitude of rich men to-day whose
wealth runs into the millions. Not
many years ago a millionaire was quite
a rarity except in the very big cities;
now the multi-nillionaires of this coun-
try are a numerous and more or less
influential body. Sudden and vast for
tunes have been made in Wall Street
in the last three years and some who
few years ago had no bank account
at all have made money so fast that
they have been able to wrest the con-
troll of great railroad properties and
systems from those who supposed they
were secure in the control thereof. Not
all of the latter kind have been able to
retain their vast money power, the
sudden downward plunges in the stock
market of late having proved their
Waterloo, If rumor is correct. Not all
retire satisfied, as Mr.. Carnegie has
done; fewer still devote of their huge
wealth to benefit others In the strug-
gle for wealth, moreover, many fall by
the wayside, and are wrecked, and
some become wrecks themselves. Few
men there are who like Deacon White
of Wall Street fame lose a big fortune
and yet live to win another Fewer
still are so honorable and so esteemed
by their associates as to receive as
surances when ruined financially as the
| Deacon did, that his simple promise to
pay would suffice. And pay he did to
the last dollar, tickle fortune having
again smiled on him, and to-day with
an ample fortune he can keep the wolf
| from his door. An interesting fact in
this connection Is the recent vast rise
which has taken place in the price of
real estate in New York city in the
aristocratic sections especially. Build
| ing lots in fine locations bought few
years ago have increased five hundred
per cent. in value. A single instance
| is mentioned by New Havener where
land bought by a relative for control
! to ensure his own stately mansion from
being injured by the erection of less
high class structures opposite, paid
| foy4
lots each 27 feet front, which he sold
recently for $4,000 apiece. The buyer
of the lots erected three houses upon
them, one Of which he has sold for
| $225, 900. In a fashionable section like
Murray Hill building lot with only
twenty-five feet frontage is reckoned
cheap at $4,000, and tho average cost
of twenty mine houses rected on such
lots this year has been nearly 100000
above the price of the land on which
they have been built. These are reck-
oned only fairly good houses. Sixty
seven residences of higher class
erected this year are fetching from
100000 to 100000 each:
These Incidents merely illustrate the
great rise in the price of real estate
in many parts of the metropolis, rise
which equals and surpasses in many
cases the great rise which has taken
place in the price of Wall Street securi-
|
real estate boom. Prices here are
quoted remarkably low as a rule. Some
of our keen real estate men think New
Ravens era of higher prices is coming
in the near future, but this is merely
an opinion, and the general prospect of
such an advance looks at this stage
dubious

A PRAIRIE CAVERN.
Hole in Ground Where Caves Would
Not Be Looked For.

Hole in Ground. Where Caves Would
Not Be Looked For.
At a spot II miles southeast of this
place. in the level prairie upland, is an
opening about forty feet in diameter
and sixty feet in depth. BY clinging to
it's rocky and precipitous walls a per-
son may descend to the bottom and
there find the openings to two caves,
one leading west ward and the other to
the east. For years this cave has been
known as Rock Prairie Cave. It is one
of the most striking natural curiosities
in the ChickasaW nation. The caves
are of unknown length, and through
one rushes subterranean stream of
great depth in places and of icy cold
ness Exploring parties have ventured
into these labyrinths for hundreds of
yards, but the danger of becoming lost
has prevented thorough examination
of the underground passages.
The cave leading westward is easiest
of access and contains a number of
spacious chambers. One room is about
seventy feet square and fifty feet from
the floor to the ceiling. The floor is
obstructed with huge powders. The
darkness and stiffness are intense.
Picnic parties sometimes go there,
%and with a large bowlder for a table
eat their lunch in the glare of torches
that cast uncanny shadows along the
massive walls.
Ti1nid persons hesitate in venturing

that compels the explorer to crawl and
slip and slide for nearly 100 feet before

the darkness echoes the sound of rush
