Political Promises.

Hon. b. S. ROdey, who represents
New Mexico in congress, and who is
considered a republican spellbinder
of prominence, was invited by Chair
man Dick. of the Ohio republican
state committee, to stump Ohio this
fall. He promptly refused, giving
this reason: There is one statement
in the republican platform of Ohio to
which | cannot consistently subscribe
and that is the statement that Seua-
tor Hanna's reelection is a distinct
national demand. | was so shocked
by his action on the floor of the
United States senate the Goth of last
January, repudiating the promises of
the republican party to the territ or
les, although he was chairman of the
national republican committee, that |
cannot cOnscientiously take any part
in the campaign to reflect him."
The pledge to give the territories
statehood was but one of the prom
Uses that were made by the republican
national convention. Reciprocity was
promised, but the reciprocity treaties
which were negotiated by Mckinley
have never been ratified. And vet the
protective duties of the Dingley bill
were purposely placed so high that
the concessions made to foreign coun-
tries under the treaties negotiated
would still leave ample protection to
the trusts. But the trusts wanted all
the swag that the tariff bill gave
them and their influence with the re-
publican congress was sufficient to
prevent the ratification of the reci-
procity treaties.
The promise in the republican plat
form to favor legislation that would
prevent monopolies. ''to limit pro-
ductiOn or to control prices" has not
been redeemed and never will be until
the present leaders of the republican
party are retired to private life, for
the trusts and monopolies furnish
their bread of life-campaign funds.
The promises to labor have not
been redeemed. The republican plat
form declared 1--WE favor more eff
fective restriction of the immigra-
tion of cheap labor from foreign
countries That this promise has
not boon kept is patent from the fact
that the present immigration exceeds
that of any other year in the history
of the country.
In fact, the exception is that the
promises made in the republican ma

tional platform have been redeemed,
yet all Mr.. Rodey objects to is that
the comparatively small promise
made to the territories was repudi-
ated by Senator Hanna. Neither he
nor any other republican of promi-
hence is refusing to go on the stump
because the greater promises that af-
feet vast numbers of the people, and
some of them all the people, have
been forgotten or purposely over
looked.
Republican promises are most of
them intended to fool the people, and
they do fool a good many of them,
but not all of them always.

n the Oil and Gas Field


Barney Thielen is thinking of get
ting him a stove pipe hat and cane.
The drilers on his place at 600 feet
struck a fine flow of oil, The well is
said to flow, without,be shot, forty
barrels per day, This is great luck
for Barney and he deserves tiff any
body does. More than this, the drill
ers claim that at a depth OF about 400
feet they passed through - foot
vein of coal. Surely Barney will be Il
millionaire.
The syndicate that had the option
on the Ben Smith eighty, brought in
Monday a fine oil well. They lost no
time Ia raising the $4,000 for Ben and
getting a deed to the land. Tuesday
evening the well was shot and proves
to be great gusher. Mr.. Knapp had
a lease on this land AMI put down a
dry hole and abandoned it.

think the council would be wise In
refusing it the present room. 1t ia a
nice thing FOR the young people of the
town and the city can well afford to
make the very little sacrifice necessary
to maintain it where it is. We hope
the council will finally decide to push
along this good cause and not endeav.
or to throw obstacles in its way.

struction which was about to overtake
the white men.
He said he had medicine" which
would make the bullets of the white
men fall harmless from him and his
followers. and that he would not only
bring back the buffalo as the great
Do-a player had promised, but would
bring a whirlwind and a great fire to
destroy the white men.
The Indians wanted to take the war
path, but Captain Hall of the army
went with a small escort of soldiers
to the hostile camp and told them
that if the things which In-the-middle
prophesied took place at the time he
said they would, all right. He had
nothing to say. But in the meantime
the Indians would better keep quiet
or he would send the soldiers after
them.
They agreed to wait until the day
which In-the-middle set for the de-
struction of the whites and the return
of the buffalo, and when that time
came and nothing happened they
broke up their camp and returned to
their former manner of life.
But In-the-middle had grown rich
meantime through the offerings of
blankets, purses and other property
which the Indians had brought him,
and, at last accounts, the successor of
the great Do-a player was still living
in house he built for himself on the
banks of the Washita, with nothing to
do but play Do-a.
