Without noticing the "Declaration
of Conditions" adopted by the populist
national convention held at Omaha
July 4, 181 'i, whose falsehood and folly
is its own best refutation, let us ex
amine the no less lunatic "Platform
of Principles" adopted by the same
reform statesmen at the same time
and place We quote: "Transporta-
tion being a meaus of exchange, and
a public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads
in the interest of the people." The
latest estimate of the value of rail-
road property is upwards of eleven
billion dollars. At least 1500,000,000
will be required to meet the aunual
expenses of wages, repairs, replace-
ment of worn out material, liabilities
for loss of life, and property in tran-
sit, etc. These expenses would have
to be met by taxation. Again: "The
telegraph aud telephone, like the
postofllcc system, being a necessity
for the transmission of news, should
be owned and operated by the govern-
ment in the interest of the people."
The telegraph and telephone property
is worth at least one and a half billion
dollars. Again: "All land now held
by railways and other corporations in
excess of their actual needs, and all
lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed and held for actual settlers
only." The lands held in excess of
actual needs would amount to an im
mense sum. Unused real estate held
in cities, aud by non-resident owners,
throughout the country will aggre
gate many billions. The estimated
value of property in the United States
exceeds sixty billions of dollars, of
which more than half is in lands. The
value of land exceeds the value of all
improvements which have been placed
upon it. It is estimated that one-
fourth of the value in land is held by
speculators, non-resident owners anil
others who do not need or use the
laud. Hut to be conservative, let us
say one-fifth, which would be about
six billion. To recapitulate:

redemption or promise, at a "tax" of
two per cent. This is supposed to be
the proper scheme to settle the finance
question. The tariff question, which
has been regarded as one of great im-
portance by men like Washington,
Hamilton, Jackson, Clay. 'Webster,
Seward, Randall and Blaine, is re-
garded as a "sham battle." If
intelligent populists will read
that platform and think of its
inevitable tendency, the effect
will be salutory. Let the populists
ask their wise editors and spread-eagle
orators if government property is tax-
able. Find out if it is wise to incur a
debt which calls for a billion dollars to
be raised annually by taxation Inquire
if it tends to prosperity to exempt

things and put on their thinking cap
the lunacy of the Omaha platform will
never reach the "referendum" stage.

form. Try to comprehend the folly of
it. Then decide wisely

DAWES COMMISSION.
The Hoily Will Commence at South McAl-

Washington, Aug. 30.—| Special. |
The Dawes commission will meet at
South McAlester on Wednesday next.
It is possible that Chairman Dawes
will not be present at the time, by
reason of ill health. General Arm-
strong, of the commission, says he is
not discouraged by the character of
the resolutions passed by the Chicka
saws and Creeks, as reported a few
days ago. lie does not think that the
meetings held are an indication that
nothing can be done by the commis-
sion this year. On the contrary, he
believes that if the people can be
made t# understand their real inter-
ests, favorable terms can be made
with them this year in time to report
to congress the coming session It is
the general opinion of the members of
the commission that an arrangement
will be secured with the Indiuns that
will lead to the ownership of townsite
property. This will form a b isis for

The plan proposed will be to have a

property, and let the occupants buy
up their holdings on this basis. And
at the same time the law will provide
for securing land for other townsite
locations, which will give an opportu-
nity for settlers to secure lots for bus-
iness which they can own. The whole
plan has not been worked out by the

ernment take possession of this prop-
erty as recommended and demanded
by that unpatented and inimitable
platform it would (unless a gigantic
steal is intended) create a government
debt of 818,500,000,000. the aunual in-
terest upon which, at the lowest possi-
ble interest, (3 per cent) would be
9555,000,000. This would have to be
raised annually by some lorm of tax-
ation. It may not have oecured to the
wisdom of those professional platform
makers, and wholesale anil retail deal-
ers in high soundiug phrases, that
when property passes into the posses-
sion qf the government it is free from
taxation. No government on earth
taxes its own property or allows it to
be taxed. Kven Coxey Knows that.
It therefore follows that when the
wisdom of the populist platform be-
comes operative eighteen and a half
billions now taxable will be placed be-
yond the reach of local taxation, and
that portion of tax formerly paid by
railroads, telegraphs, unused lands,
etc., will have to be collected from
other property; thus greatly increas-
ing the hardships of the people; while
the bonds with which the government
must pay the former owners of the
railroads, telegraphs and telephones
are not taxable. No populist can pick
a llaw in this. It is unassailable. 1 he
populist demands in the Omaha plat-
form, if carried into effect, would in-
crease the bonded debt *ls,r.00,000,e00,
place the people under tribute to bond-
holders $f 55,000,000 and release eigh-
teen billions of dollars and an equal
amount of bonds from taxation. ' In
the interestof the people" is the seduc-
tive lauguagc of the Omaha platform.
What people? The holders of United
States bonds.
Shylock. the bondholders, and the
money power never dared hope for a
benefit like this. If the government
was able to buy the railroads and
would make owners of railroads the
proposition which is implied in the
Omaha platform, it would be instantly
accepted Eighteen billions at Inter-
est; not in the "interest "of the peo-
ple," but the people would be in for
the Interest. Owners of unoccupied
real estate would not object to govern-
ment bonds in exchange for laud.
Would it not greatly increase populist
enthusiasm to bring about, in a ten-
fold degree, the conditions of which
thry now rend the peaceful heavens to
complain? spa^e forbids an exhaus-
tive dissection of the platform. If
every voter made himself familiar
with il it would decrease the number
of populists. With this in view the
writer of this is just malicious enough
to ask every populist to read it. Medi-
tate much noon it. Two or three im-
portant things have not yet been
noticed. One is that if government
concludes to own the railroads and
employ the necessary men to operate
thein that the constitution shall be so
amended as to require a "rigid civil
service regulation of a nature to pre-
vent any "increase of power by the

Ardmore State Herald: The intelli-
gence that the Santa Fe is to pass out

more do business in its own name and

vorite business firm or individual had

Commendable Knterprlse Shown by He
Public Spirited Citizens.
A few days ago a representative of
Tint Static Capitai. was in the thriv
ing city of Pawnee, the county seat of
Pawnee county, and was shown
through the magnificent new court
house that has just been finished
there.
It is situated on a high eminence
the ceutre of the city and has all the
conveniences that are necessary for
the accommodation of the count offi-
cers. The first floor is dedicated to
the use of the county officers and
vaults for books and records are placed,
where they are convenient for access.
The second story is for court pur-
poses, containing seven rooms ad-
jacent to the splendid large court
room, and are to be used for jury
grand jury, witnesses and oflicers con
nected with the disttict court. Ahe
court room proper is large, airy and
commodious, well ventilated and is
the finest in the territory. It has
high ceilings and there
trances provided
by a s
ble" l
• with figures on it, without

w The county com-
missioners have made arrangements to
furnish the room handsomely and by
the time court convenes, Sept. 10th,
Judge Hierer will have the satisfaction
of dealing out justice in one of the
most complete, substantial and nicely
appointed court rooms in the territory.
The structure is built out of native
stone, which is quarried within one
mile of the centre of the town. The
cost of this building is $8,000 and wus
buil^ by the citizens of Pawnee city by
subscription and has been rented to
the county commissioners at an an-
nual rental that is to be applied on the
purchase of the building and when
the rent amounts to the cost of the
building the county owns it. This is
but one of the many substantial proofs
that the citizens of Pawnee have given
to the world of their belief in the per-
manency and fertility of their home
surroundings. When in the near
future Pawnee has a railroad through
her bounderies no county in the strip
will excell her for richness of soil,
beautiful natural scenery and advant-
ages and all those attributes that ren-
der life worth living

Arkansas City Reporter: The report
that the commissioners of Kay county
have been indicted by the grand jury
of that county is an error. The grand
jury found no indictment. What was
done, however, was the filing by the
grand jury of charges against the
board of commissioners, asking their
removal from ofllce. If the charges
made are proven they will be removed
no doubt. Hut no criminal action has
been instituted.
The entire territory of Oklahoma is
well adapted to fruit raising, and
from the present outlook will take
first rank as the "garden spot' for the
culture of fruit. Already about ten
thousand acres are bearing upon their
rich bosoms young orchards unexcelled
in thriftiness and vigor, and if there
be no hidden cause unrevealed to the
keen eye of the hortieultrist, fruit will
be among the chief productions and
the source of immense profit to the
producer,
Times-Journal: Several marshals
have returned from the chase after
the Christian gang, tired and worn out
by hard riding. A large posse is still
in pursuit, a portion of which are en-
deavoring to trail them with blood-
hounds. It now transpires that the
Christian brothers sent word to Deputy
Hocker about a week before the en-
counter that the first time they met
they would relieve him of his pearl-
handled sixshooter. Tney kept their
word, as they captured his horse, pis-

Muskogee Phoenix: The Indian Ter
ritory has its share of lawlessness, but
it is not so bad a place as is supposed
abroad. The per cent of criminals is
not much greater here than in the
states. We constantly have a few
who make crime a business and act
ively work it. When a man commits
a crime here, to avoid the law he goes
on a scout and lives by crime until he
is apprehended. The great bulk of
crime is committed by a very few peo-
ple. The masses are as law abiding

ing closed, the chair, upon motion,
appointed a committee to solicit sub-
scriptions to the capital stock of the
company and another to attend the
directors' meeting which is to be held
at Arkansas City on September 13.
Everything moved oil' satisfactorily
and there is no doubt that Stillwater
can be depended upon for her full
share of the amount necessary to get
the project under headway.
The commissioner of the general
land ollice has handed down a decision
in which he holds the booth certificates
issued at Arkansas City before the
opening of the Cherokee strip are
good. There were 3,000 of these cer-
tifTcates it sued the day before the
opening of the strip, and thus hun-
dreds of homesteaders in the strip and
town lot claimants are affected. The
case decided was Lon O Hornett, the
well known man from Carthage, Mo
He was contesting A. M Waugh for a
valuable claim on which Ponca City is
partly located. The local land ofllce
turned down O'llornett because he
held one of the Arkansas City certifi
cates. but the commissioner holds
they are good and thus wins the claim
for O'llornett
A correspondent to the Dallas Ne
says. "I see there is a call for a reme-
dy to keep flies off stock. I have one
which has been of benefit to me for
years. Take green walnuts and mash
the hulls. About one peck is a good
quantity to start with. Hut them in
some vessel and put one gallon of ker-
isine oil with them and let it stand
not less than twenty-four hours and
churn or beat them with a stick or
something every few hours. Then
add two pounds of lard and one quart
of linseed oil and one p und of sul-
phur. Oet all well mixed; then it is
ready for use. Dip a cloth or sponge
in the mixture and rub it on stock. If
no green walnuts can be procured,
leaves, or bark off' roots, will do. Hut
in that case it will have to be laid in
water and a strong tea made to begin
with, as strong as possible, and put
lard in and boil the water out. Either
will do and make enough to last some
time. The walnuts may remain in
the mixture for any length of time. 1
use this mixture on my horses, oxen,
cows and hogs, To use it on hogs 1
put it in a common oil can or lamp
feeder and pour it on their backs
while feeding. On the other stock I
use a cloth. It will destroy lice, itch,
ticks and keep off flies."

Now turn to page 2sj of the treas-
urer's ledger and the account opens
with a charge to the treasurer of only
$3; 100 of bonds, and this record was
not made till August 4, 1893, nearly
two years after bonds were re-
ceived. Tho bond record does
not show where the otlief $.r> 500
of bondo went, or that the $4,410 of
coupons maturing while the bonds
were yet unsold, were clipped by Lav-
erty as earned by the county. Were
these thrown in to the buyers, in ad-
dition to $3.1oo of commission? The
records of Treasurer Laverty are silent
this. Maybe Laverty has the rec-
ord in his inside pocket.
Bookkeeping is history in detail of
all transactions. The treasurer who
leaves his office without a history as
to where $5,500 of bonds and $1,410 of
accrued coupons went, is incompetent,
if not dishonest.
Mr Laverty, here is a proposition;
take the editor of this paper to the
treasurer's office, show us the page and
record where you accounted for re-
ceipts from these 95,500 of bonds and
what you did with those coupons, and
we will publish the record and ac-
knowledge that you were a competent
treasurer and an honest man. Hy the
treasurer's records, inind you. If you
have to prove it by receipts which you
Eecm to have deemed private property
and took out of the public archives
when yon went out of office, you can-
not get us to acknowledge that you
knew anything about your public
duties. And we don't want to
see the county clerk's records. The
clerk may have known his business
and taken care of it.
Your records as tieasurer must show
these transactions, otherwise what
good were you as a treasurer? What
kind of a public officer will let $7,510
of public funds slip through his hands
and make no record of what it went
for or who it went to?
You might have the record in your
inside pocket, Laverty, but taxpayers
cannot go to the trouble to look into
your inside pocket when they want to
know where a small sum like $«,510
went!
Washington, Aug. 30 —The recent
utterance of E. C. llenedlet oil the sub-
ject of retiring the greenbacks is be-
ing considered with much significance
in political circles here. Mr. Benedict
stands very close to Mr. I loveland In
fact politicians believe that the New
York financier baa the ear of the pres
Ulent on the money question and in a
measure influences the president's
judgment on that and kindred ques-
tions. Mr. Benedict Is a very shrewd
man In touch with the sentiment of
his locality and something of a jiolltl-
cian himself There is an idea, there-
fore, that Mr. Benedict, In his conver-
sations with Mr. Cleveland, has
made an Impression on him with
regard to the greenbacks and Is now
sounding public sentiment in his own
name. If the public approve so much
in tho way of instruction will have
been gathered for next year. If the
public disapprove no harm will have
been done Mr. Cleveland. If this policy
is brought forward in congress next
winter or later In the national cam-
paign, it will receive the support of
Senator Hill. The New York senator
has several times advocated It in the
senate and still insists, as Mr. Benedict
does, that the greenbacks are a rnen-
ace to the health of the financial sys-
tem.
Hut it is suggested the mere proposi-
tion to retire greenbacks will not suf-
fice in a discussion of the financial
question in its entirety. If it is ad-
mitted that the greenbacks are an evil
that needs to be abated there then fol-
lows the question as to what shall till
the place in tho currency system that
by their retirement would be made
vacant. The south Is opposed to the
national banks already in existence,
and would be certain to object
to an increase in their num-
ber or an enlargement of
their opportunity. The south would
be as difficult "to handle on that
proposition as she has proved to be on
the silver proposition. The west knows
nothing but hearsay about state banks
and that has alarmed her She has
risen into statehood since the war and
has known only the money stamped by
the general government. She wants
this continued and the volume of sil-
ver increased. The west, therefore,
would oppose state, banks. She has re-
peatedly voiced this sentiment through
the ablest of her public men. What
then will be offered, and in what vol-
ume. to take the plaee of greenbacks?
The president, It Is contended, will
have to be very specific in future on
the money question when it comes to
legislation. The silver men feel very
bitter toward him for his course in the
matter of the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. When that
proposition was brought forward the
silver men complained that it was in-
complete. They wanted to know what
was to take the place of the law the
president wanted repealed. The presi-
dent's friends replied that that was an
other story. The duty of the hour, as
they held, was to clear the decks for
action. The purchasing clause of the
Sherman act was characterized as an
obstruction to sound legislation on the
money question. Let that be disposed
of and then something wise and bene-
ficial would be done for silver. Hut
nothing has followed the repeal of that
act and the silver men are calling for
particulars now when Mr. Cleveland's
friend, llenedlet, outlines what is ac-
cepted as a probable new Cleveland
move. What Is the full scheme? What
is to take the place of the old currency
handed down from the days of the
Wclla-largo Stolen Money Found.

the past week as follows: Rain has im-
proved tho situation of the corn crop,
