FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1895.
Gbim visaged war seems to hate
smoothed Ms (ace and pressed the
■ rinkhisout of.Ills garments.
Old Canada is excited over a proba-
ble international war. This country
would swallow Canada at the first
gulp- ^
Tiik only visible results of Cleve-
land's message is fifteen Apache In-
dians on the war path. There had to
be war of some kind.
England found she could not get up
an Ameri.In panic -without gifcal loss
to Knglish holders of American securi
ties, so the old hog concluded to let
things drift along smoothly
ai.l the searches heretofore foi the
meanest man on earth have failed, lie
has been discovered, however. He is a
yonwf man who robbed his best girl of
hei money and jewelry while she sang
love songs to hitn.
qu AN Ail Pahkkh, chief of the Com-
anche*, in-viewing the new ice plant
last summer at Ft. Sill said: ••White
man know more than Great Spirit, for
white man make ice in August, and
Great* ApirltMocly make it in cold
weather."
Thkhk is nothing like persistency.
Sixty days ago Tiik StatkCapital set
out to get up a debate between Rev s.
Braden and Rogers. After an expen-
diture of some 15 olij 20 columns the
debate is arranged for, and the people
will have a contest of absorbing in-
terest.
The back bone of John Hull, when
he found he was liable to lose heavily
ou AflBypican securities, became im-
mediately flexible—and broke the
back bone of the panic by concluding
that our securities are good enough to
keep.
have never really been heart! from on
this question, and it cannot authora-
tively be said that they do or do cot
desire statehood now
This is a truth These statehood
conventions seldom have a farmer in
them. They are town concerns—and
hardly representative of the towns, for
the caucuses are always very slimly
attended. These conventions are,
therefore, as the News says, not rep-
resentative of the people at large.
Nevertheless,the people are very large
ly for early statehood. They do not
turn out to statehood caucuses anil
conventions because they do not be-
lieve such will have any Influence on
congress; that when congress gets
ready to act it will do so iu its own
way.
The New s says this, "Statehood agi-
tation is just a fad." Fads are tem-
porarily popular things. The statehood
agitation is a permanently popular
thing No matter what the conven-
tions do, the people generally feel
that the uncertainties of territorial
existence cannot be too quickly re-
moved. The extra cost of state gov-
ernment, used in the News argument,
is mostly imaginary. The average
legislature costs about $50,000. Of
this sum the government pays 824,000.
The government pays for the gover-
nor and judges. All other expenses
the territory pays, just as the state
would. The extra? expense of state
hood would be:
For governor. S3,000
For legislature i'4,000
Three state supreme judges 0,000
Total $00,000
The added stability to public and
private credit; the great acceleration
given to immigration and business by
the transition would more than offset
this small added cost. People abroad
are suspicious of territorial laws and
conditions. A man of capital will
much quicker invest ih a state than in
a territory, for he believes his invest-
ment will be safer under permanent
state laws.
The real ad /auceof prosperity in Ok-
lahoma will begin with statehood.
The man who opposes the change
opposes his own best welfare and ar-
gues upon a fragile foundation.

Omaha, .\'ol>., Dec. -37.—H. T. Ox-
nard, president of the American Sugar
association, says: "YV hile congress is
placing a iluty upon so many other
things why are the American sugar
producers not protected? I was sur-
prised to note the action of the ways

this feature. Huiv sugar is produced

the trusts. The American producers

It is reported that Uev. Jamison, j prucUeal method of stimulating the in-
who raised so much reUgio-co.nic

handsome daughter of J. M McAUs-
ter, for whom the town McAlister was
named. The father gave his girl a
good endowment and she and Jamison
have gone to Ireland, the husband s
native country, on a bridal tour.
Wiikn President Lincoln's views
were asked concerning the French in-
vasion of Mexico he is reporicd to
have said: "My policy is to attend to
only dAe trouble at a time. If we get
well out of our present difficulties and
restore the union, I propose to notify
Louis Napoleon that it is about time

on refined sugar helps the great
sugar trust, but the duty on the
raw article ussists the producers of the
country generally ami indirectly the
great agricultural interests. A duty
of 15 per cent, on both raw and refined
would help the American beet sugar
producers, without benefiting the
trust, since the trust must purchase
its raw material abroad. The pro-
duction of every pound of sugar by the
American producers entering into con-
sumption in this country means so
much less business for the trust, hence
the trust is anxious to hinder the
development of the home producer.
The danger is that tho ways and means

uation will fatally cripple the rapidly
growing industry of beet sugar manu-

Mkmphis, Tenn., Dec. 26.—A sensa-
tional shooting atfray occurred here
last night in which two men were
wounded ami the would-be slayer
ended his own existence. Hugh Mitchell
and Edwin Avery Pierce, two young
men of highly respected families and
clerks in the same store, met in a gro-
cery store on Jefferson street and
Mitchell referred in a joking
way to Pierce's having been re-
cently vaccinated. Pierce replied
that if he was a little larger he
would thrash Mitchell on tho spot.
"Better get your gun," said Mitchell,
lightly, whereupon Pierce drew a re-
volver and fired, tho bullet striking
Mitchell in the shoulder. A second
shot flew wide of its mark and struck
A. P. Crawford, rt representative of
the (iale Manufacturing Co., of Chi-
cago, who was standing in a butcher
shop on the opposite side of the street,
in the mouth. Pierce then turned the
revolver to his own breast, sending a
bullet through his heart. Pierce died
instantly, while Mitchell and Crawford
will recover.
