Thk telegraph brings two startling
hits of news-that while Cleveland
gets ready to issue more bonds for th
rich, Mrs. Cleveland is "making gar-
ments for the poor." Those Cleve-
lands are great, big hearted people!
liTol Stbono. of New York City,
publicly announces that he favors the
nomination of Governor Morton for
the presidency in 1890. "if the gov-
ernor can't get it," said the mayor,
"then 1 am for my old friend Major
McKinley."
Thk mayor of Chicago has stopped
the fashionable religio "slumming
fad. He argures that the poor cannot
oncrouch upon the rich and lie don't
propose the rich shall spy upon the
poor This high-toned slumming idea
lias more curiosity than religion be-
hind it.
According to the annual report of
the commissioner of education, th<
number of pupils enrolled * in the
schools and colleges, public and pri
vate, of the I'nited States is more than
twenty-two per cent of the population
The highest figure attained by any
other country in recent years is a frac-
tion within twenty per cent., and the
country thus distinguished is Ireland.
Next after Ireland come Prussia, Eng-
land, Canada, Scotland, Belgium,
Franca, Austria and Holland in the
order named: and following these, but
at a considerable distance, Spain, ltal,\.
Mexico, Russia and Turkey.
Obokok R. Pkck, in the November
Agora, on the death of J.C.Wilson:
"Men moralize upon death, and try to
make it a blessing. Doubtless it is
but it does not seem so. It has been,
and is, and must for ever be the one
theme which speculation cannot ex-
haust and which reason cannot solve.
The world goes on joyously with its
business and its schemes, even as sol-
diers march into battle over other sol-
diers slain. Wo have no time for tears.
The bounding strength of life is in us;
we must go forward, whatever may
stand in the way. And yet: and yet,
the problem confronts us. Who shall
solve it? The little and the great go
hence, but whither? Surely not so
far that a friend may not say fare
well."

You w ill notice that there is no levy
for judgments and there are between
$5,000 and $7,000 against the county
which must be paid this year and
next year. The commissioners levied
about 81,000 more than the estimate
for this year's county expenses, that
the amount might be applied to pay-
ment on these judgments if payment
was ordered this year.
So Mr. Herwig and his friends will
notiee that the commissioners did not
levy a dollar more for general county
expenses than a careful estimate and
good business judgment found neces-
sary: and this amount is more than
$25,000 less than the county general
expenses of last year, showing that
the conservatism of the board added
to the wisdom of the last legislature
saved Logan county $25,000 this year,
besides making it impossible to create
any more Hosting indebtedness.
Three aud a half mills are levied for
other expenses not included in this
year's expense estimate. These levies

Keport That Cleveland Has llerl.ied Not t
Wait for ( ongresslonal Art Ion.
Nkw Yokk. Nov. h . The Journal
says: President Cleveland has decided
that he will not wait for action by
congress before making another issue
of bonds. The Washington authorities
are already in correspndenee with the
New York bankers relative to the
issue and it is probable that the bank
ers will accept their proposition.
Here is the proposition: When the
gold reserve fulls to $75,000,000
the banks shall deposit $25,000,000
worth of gold in the sub-treas-
ury and take in return 4 per cent,
bonds on a 3 per cent, basis. The de
cline of the gold reserve to a danger
point liil spring forced the yov#rn|
ment to pay per cent, for the gold
procured from the Belmont-Morgan
syndicate. Credit has been re-estab-
lished by that operation and the ad
ministration hopes to take advantage
of the greater confidence prevailing to
secure the gold at the low rate of 3 per
cen t.

A ,Y -OUTWARD" ERROR.
The Chandler News, well known as
a stalwart republican paper, got the
wrong wort of patent "outwards for
its last issue. On the front page,
anions other democratic eulogiuius,
we find this choice bit:
"The democratic party has been al
ways the champion of personal liberty.
The fundamental law of nearly every
state in the union is the work of dem
oerats. The constitutions of nearly
all of the states contains u civil rights
bill liemoerats have uniformly stood
by all the rights that are guaranteed
therein. They will never consent to
such violation as is proposed in Chi-
cago, for instance, when men are
halted at night, and If the account
they give of themselves is not satisfac-
tory to a patrolman are takeu intocus-
tod'y. They will never consent to the
invasion of a home wi'hout a warrant,
nor will they permit the slightest in-
fraction of free speech or of the free
exercise of religion
And this, when less than three
weeks ago, the democratic party com-
pleted a slow process of self-destruc-
tion: The News should w ire its out-
ward furnisher to eschew epitaphs
and talk of liv.> things.
for these purposes ...ho.'jw ">7
The commissioners did not deem it
necessary to levy a general county
school tax, but on petition of the
county superintendent the court or-
dered a levy of two mills.
We have estimated these figures on
the exact assessed value of the county,
which is $3,889,830.03 as equalized by
the territorial board.
The commissioners were extremely
conservative in their estimate, when
the past annual expenditures for the
county are considered. It would be
impossible to run the county on less
than the amount levied this year. We
ask any tax payer in Logan county
what difference, in taxes, on the $100
does it make whether the levies are
made on $3,800,000 of property, or*on
92^800,000 of property, when $29,000
must be raised?
The separate school and county
school funds are prorated according to
school population and go back to th«
people who paid them.
Mr. Herwig complains of the high
township and school tax, created by
this raise. One-third of the townships
in Logan county had their assessments
reduced as finally equalized from what
they were when presented to the coun-
ty board, the county board reducing
them from twenty per cent, to 100 per
cent, as shown by the schedule of land
values we published last week. There
are glaring differences iu the township
assessments, hinds of equal value rang-
ing from $1.21 in Springvale township
to $9.00 per acre in Spring Creek town-
ship. About fourteen of the town-
ships of the county will have to pay
from twenty to forty-five per ceut.
more township and school district tax
than they would have had to pay had
the original assessment as returned by
the assessors been unchanged. All
this money goes back to the townships
and school districts and can be used to
clear up past indebtedness and stop in-
terest. As Mr. Herwig says, this is a
hard year for a deposit of money
this way—and this is the only injus-
tice that can be found In this raise of
assessment, and this is only an injus-
tice in tax payers being compelled to
pay township and school district taxe
which could be postponed until next
year.
We thus explain the figures that
every tax payer iu Logan county will
understand the exact amounts levied
for county expenses and what the
levies are for, that they may have cor
rect information on which to base theii
opinions: and to clear up certain inac-
curacies In Mr. Herwig's letter printed
in this issue.

Geography is not only one of the
most interesting of studies, but one
of the most valuable. It is not of value
to the student alone, but to every mau
and woman who desires to keep in
touch with the happenings of the
great world about them. The news of
the whole world, which is brought to
the breakfast table every morning, is
uch of it a little better than Greek to
the person who is unfamiliar with
geography. In fact, the stirring events
of the world compel those who desire
to have a correct knowledge of them
to be daily students of this important
branch of education.
This fact has caused Thk Statk Cap-
ital to arrange with Rand X McNally,
the famous map publishers, for their
Urea! Atlas of the World for Statk
Capital subscribers. This Atlas will
contain 157 pages of colored maps, rep-
resenting every country on the globe.
The plates for these maps are entirely
new, being made on purpose for this
publication, and are to be brought up
to date. In fact, the plates are not
yet all made, but will be ready on
time. Every map will be equipped
with a marginal index, which will
make the publication especially valua-
ble for quick reference.
This great Atlas, the plates for
which, the publishers say, will cost
$50,000, will be sold in Oklahoma exclu-
sively by Thk Statk Capital, in ten
parts of sixteen pages each, at the
price of 10 cents for each part.
Parts Xo. 1, 2, 3. and 4 are now ready
for delivery, and other parts will fol-
low regularly, one every two weeks.
An inspection of tbe first part will
show something of the character of the
work. Every reader of Tiik Statk
Capital should have every number,
and it will be wise to begin with the
first.
