GOOD OLD TIMES AT GUTHRIE
Big Row at a Bar Association Called Forth
by Judge 8cott's Partisans.
Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 22.—(Spe-
cial.) Probably one of the most
disorderly and disgraceful meetings
ever held by a bar association took
place in the United States court
room in this city this evening, l.ast
evening a call was published in an
evening paper of this city for the
Territorial It.ir Association here to
meet this afternoon to discuss the
defects in the territorial laws and
suggest remedies to the legislature,
now in session.
When the meeting was called to
order this afternoon, about seventy
five members of the bar association
were present, though a large number
of spectators filled up the lobby.
Several of the local attorneys, be
throw the burdens incurred by the
war "oft their own shoul^.rs on to
the backs of the cannon people."
This change to a gold basis, he says,
increased the national debt enor-
mously, injuriously contracted the
currency, and spoiled trade. He
cites the fact that none of Kngland's
colonies have imitated the Hank of
England system as evidence that the
system is 'Hot as' good as it pretends
to be, and urges that the Hank of
England be treated as an indepen-
dent bunking company instead of as
the sole Government bank, and the
issue of notes be made by the Gov-
ernment itself through a British Na-
tional liauk in connection with the
Treasury. On this point he writes as
follows:
"A National Hank could issue na-
tional notes upon the security of the
Government, than which nothing
could be a better currency or circu-
lieving that the meeting was called j ,aling me(lil|m. These notcs would
in good faith, started to bring up a ; be ,,egal tenderi|. and pass for ready
discussion of the needed legislation, j money over all the three kingdoms
but were shut of by D. D. Leach, j as freely as coin. Mr. Gladstone
president .of the Oklahoma County j |'as frequently said he thought the
Bar Association, who read a long
Government should have the benefit
. of the note circulation or the issue of
set of resolutions, indorsing Judge ,legal temlers . Speaking on the
II J\V. Scott, declaring that the mem
bers of the association had unbound
ed confidence in his integrity; be-
lieving him to be upright, honorable,
Irish Home Utile Kill, on this noitit
he said: 'Ireland might think lit to
pass a law providing for the extinc-
tion of private issues in Ireland, ex-
cept under the authority and for the
etc., and winding up by condemning j advantage of the State. I own it is
any persons who should prefer my own opinion that Ireland would
charges against him or call for an j do an extremely sensible thing if she
passed such a law. ' It is my strong
investigation.
Then followed a scene that would
disgrace any back-room saloon cau-
cus on record. Members of the
association who attempted to speak
against the resolution were hooted
down, and outsiders, Scott's adher-
nts, howled and 1 ailed for the gag
rule, and one became so obstreper-
ous that it was necessary to drag
him from the room by force. Fi-
nally, Joe Wisby, who does not love
Scott, moved an amendment court-
ing a thorough investigation. The
Scott crowd did not want this, but
so nicely did Joseph talk about the
innocent man always wanting inves
decided opinion that we ought to
have the same law ourselves. If this
is also the decided opinion of the
present Government there should be
little or no difficulty in carrying out
these viewe for the expansion of the
currency, not only in ireland, but in
Great Britain as well. We believe
that would do more than tongue can
tell to put trade into a prosperous
state. If the Treasury will take its
banking business into its own hands
and issue national notes as already
proposed, for, say, one hundred mil-
lion pounds sterling, or such an
amount as Parliament may authorize,
in denominations of ten shillings,
one pound, five pounds, and upward,
and lay aside or cancel Consols for
the same, these national notes would

mt.n( j than the sovereign or than gold bul
A number of attempts were made
to introduce some of the evidence
against Scott for the information of
the association, but all were voted
down, and the resolutions were
finally adopted.
The meeting then adjourned in
coufusion, without in any way going
into business for which it was called.
As an after-thought, a committee
was appointed to present the resolu-
tions to the government inspector,
Mr. W. Newton, who arrived here
last night from Washington, but this
lion, which fluctuates like other
metals."—Literary Digest.
A Waste ol' Good material,
A well-known congressman, who
was a farmer before he went into
politics, was doing his district not
long ago, and in his rambles he saw
a man in a stumpy patch of ground
trying to get a plow through it. He
went over to him, and after a brief
salutation he asked the privilege of
making a turn or two with the plow.
The native shook his head doubt-
The si'olt Kndorsonu'iit
We take it that Henry W. Scott
has more sense than some of his sup
posed and real friends. Certainly
he has too much sense to sanction
bar meetings to endorse him, when
an inspector of the government is
here lo investigate him. Such en
dorsement can have 110 effect on In-
spector Newton, who knows all the
influences suriounding it and is talk-
ing daily with the people, who are
much better barometers of Scott
than the lawyers whose success may,
to a measure, depend on Scott's
court.
One of the charges filed against
Scott is that he suborns lawyers of
his court, extorting bar endorse-
ments from them adversely to their
feelings, because they know to incur
his enmity means to invite starva
tion, as no lawyer, say the charges,
who is known to have Scott's enmity,
can win a case. Now, with these
charges in his grip, the inspector
comes anil the second day after his
arrival runs into a bar meeting—a
gathering acting more like a lot of
ward politicians than like repre^
sentatives of a great profession—en-
dorsing Judge Scott.
What will be the natural influence
at Washington of such a proceed-
ing? There can be but one—that
there was an urgent desire to fore-
stall something, and especially when
the report of those adverse goes in
that Scott's friends were notified by
courier and letter and his enemies
kept in the dark.
From a political standpoint, the
last bar meeting seemed to be a
rampant desire of republican law-
yers to help ? democratic judge out
of a democratic light. There is but
one democrat on the committees ap-
pointed, and the leaders for Scott
were republicans, some of whom,
less than sixty days ago, were giving
him gehenna. Are some republican
lawyers fearlul of consequences un-
less they "stand in" with a demo-
cratic judge? If there is any posi-
tion on earth which should be free
of judicial fawning it is the legal
profession, the representatives of
law and exalted justice.
If Judge Scott is not disgusted
with some of the lawyers who seem
crazy to become his lickspittles, he
has a different view than the people
have. A true friend standing up
fighting for one he believes is right,
is an admirable sight, and there
were a number of such at that bar
meeting; but the clamorings of false
friends to surround themselves with
court favor by extreme open declar-
ations of friendship, brought appar-
ent fear of the court or hope of re
ward, must give pluto paroxysms of
committee's work will be superfluous, fully' as he looked at his visitor
as the inspector was himself present j store clothes and general air of a J°yJ anc' "lere were some of this

at the meeting, and if he wanted gentleman of elegant leisure, but he
anything to convince him thoroughly
of the truth of the charges of rotten
ness in the 'Third district, it was this
meeting.—K. C. Journal.
Hank of England Under Fire
England has a currency question
also. It may not be as acute as ours,
but the writer—Robert Ewen—of the
leading article in the Westminister
Review, December, thinks that it is
one of much importance nevertheless.
The question he presses is quite simi-
lar to the one aroused by the Balti
more plan and Secretary Carlisle's
plan in this country, namely, shall
the currency of the country be is-
sued by banks or by the government
itself, and Mr. Ewen is very clear in
his mind, and he says that Mr Glad-
stone is equally clear that the Gov-
ernment should do the issuing. He
opens by attributing much of the
blame for the depressed condition of
trade in England, and "the frequent
monetary disturbances, panics, and
scares" there, to "the antiquated and
awkward-working money laws of
England." The Banking Act of 1844
he says, destroys free banking and
established "the monstrous Bank cf
England monopoly." The change
to a gold basis, made in 1816, he at-
tributes to the desire of the tories,
kind at that bar meeting.

Since the weather refused to go in
to partnership with the coal barons
the latter are much dissatisfied, ami
declare that they are losing money
and that there is no profit in the
business. This is serious. They
could not appeal to President Cleve-
land, who, with his usual alacrity
might be willing to furnish troops
but the weather, unlike the strikers
apt to be unaffected by a display of
force. Or, why not abandon the
mines? It is is only a question of
time when the people will take tliern
anyway, and why not make a merit
of necessity and surrender them
gracefully? The old trick of restrict
ing the output and raising the rates
no doubt will be resorted to b:it it
might be played once to often, and
the coal barons have al.ont reached
its limit.—Twentieth Century.

Well, by hokev, said the farmer,

they interfere with the administra-

Judge Scott has declared and no
doubt believes that he is right. He
should have wired—and, we are
told, did—to Washington inviting!
the closest inspection of his acts.
Since such inspection was ordered
his friends should have refrained
