Editors ami Proprietors.
THURSDAY, JANUARY IT. isor*.
GREETING
As announced in last week's issue of
The Reformer, the undersigned have
assumed control of this paper, and in the
future will stand at its helm and guide
and guard it upon the uncertain sea of
journalism. We have no rash promises
to make, and no wonderful or phenom-
enal changes to make in the policy of
the paper. We are uot loaded down
with wealth, in fact we have uot a dollar
that we have not at least ten important
and necessary places in which to put it.
We have uot a superabundance of ideas
which we deoire to iutlict upon an in-
dulgent but ever patient public: on the
contrary we have hut little of the filthy
lucre and but few startling thoughts to
launch forth.
In politics we a re null inching and un-
swerving Populists. We think there is
something wrong in the political arena
find imagine we know what it is, and in
common with other mortals, w e have a
panacea for the existing political rotten-
ness of our glorious commonwealth. As
our name signifies, we are in the reform
business to stay, and as we see and un-
derstand the true principles of economi-
cal government properly and adequately
administered locally, territorially and
nationally, thus we will adhere to the
same, and will hew to the line.
In religion we are not hemmed within
the narrow lines of any religious dogma,
but stand upon the broad plane of
Christ’s humanity to man, and “Do unto
others that you would that others should
do uuto you. ’ Our religious motto is
“Do right.
Special attention will be given to
county affairs, and local correspondents
are requested to write up their neigh-
borhood matters and send them in for
publication.
Finally we will endeavor to publish
such a paper as the income of the office
will permit. Meagre support will result
in a correspondingly poor paper. Lib-
eral and substantial support will give
you u paper of which to be proud.
\\ e Miami first for Kingfisher county,
second for Oklahoma and the west, and
third for the United States ugaiust the
world. Our line of operations, however,
will be confined mostly to Kingfisher
county. To the business men of our
city, we solicit a fair share of your
patronage and promise a fair equivalent
for money expended.
Finally we believe that every progres-
sivu democrat, every thinking republican
and each and every one of the sixteen
hundred populists in this county should
subscribe for the Reformer.
“New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient goods uncouth;
He must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth.”
Respectfully,
H. C. Wilson.

the other hand, the opposition is credit
ed with a vote of 168, with seventy-three
members absent, or non committal. The
lowest majority predicted against the
bill by its friends is ten.
The debate for the last few days has
developed some very interesting speeches.
Bourkc Cochran entertained the House
for more than an hour uud u half with
one of his sky scraping, high-sounding,
senseless speeches, in w hic h he made it
very plain that he was the willing tool
of the gold trust. He is in favor of is-
suing bonds to fund the Greenbacks and
Treasury Notes, and turn the government
over to the tender mercies of the National
Banks, lie also took the position that
we have too much money instead of too
little; and the remedy he proposes for
present conditions is free trade, less
money and better money.
Then came Gen. Calchiogs of Missis-
sippi, a cuckoo after Cleveland’s own
heart, with a long-winded speech in
favor of the bill. lie devoted most of
his lime iu trying to show the advan-
tages of wildcat State Banks. This
great statesman was once for free silver
hut since he lourued to coo bo nicely he
is a gold-hug of the approved kind.
This fruitless discussion continued un-
til last Monday, when the democrats con-
cluded that they had better have u caucus
and sec if they could find where they
were at So the caucus wus held with
140 democrats present. Speaker Crisp
offered the follow ing resolution which
was adopted by a vote of 81 to 0$.
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this caucus, that the Carlisle Currency
Dill should be passed by the House of
Representatives, substantially as present-
ed in the substitute which has been
printed in the record, and which will be
offered at the proper time by the chair-
man of the Committee on Banking and
Currency, und that the committee on
rules he questioned to report an order
tomorrow, immediately after the reading
of the Journal, which shall provide for
its consideration for one duy for general
debate, nnd thereafter under the five
minute rule, und final vote thereon at
the earliest time practicable during this
week.
Mr. Crisp knows very well that he is
uot representing the best interests of his
constituents, four fifths of whom are
fanners in supporting this Bank Scheme,
which is equivalent to opposing the free
coinage of silver. He further knows
that the people of his district would re-
pudiate him too quick, should he oppose

ture/’ from Chief Justice Dale will be

LOCAL LAND OFFICE MATTERS.
“OUR LEGISLATE RE.
“The coming together of our legisla-
ture reminds me of a circumstance
which occurred in my early life. When
a very raw and unkempt boy of about
fifteen, the word came to our home that
our member of the legislature was visit-
ing ut a neighbor’s, about three miles
histant. I at once put on iny old straw
hat and eagerly put out barefooted to
see him. Never before had 1 looked
upon an official occupying, as I then
thought, such an important position. 1
had read of Moses and Solomon and had
fattened my imagination by reading Plu-
tarch s Lives until my mind had become
fully impressed with the idea that a man
who made laws for the government of
a people must be a person of a pure
mind and great wisdom,, and while I had
oredited Moses, Solomon and the many
historical characters delineated in Plu-
tarch’s Lives with great goodness and
wisdom, yet I expected to find in our
representative a man surpassing all those
I need not tell you that I was not en-
tirely satisfied with my visit; but the
ideal lawmaker then existing in my mind
is still the first thought that comes to
me when I meet a member of a body of
men selected to make laws for the gov-
ernment of a people, and to this day I
cannot refrain from a genuine feeling of
respect for a man whose privilege and
duty it will be to impress hie ideas in a
statute which shall be the rule and guide
of the people, neither do I belieAe that
any person becomes so pure in charac-
ter or so great in wisdom as to prevent
him from filling a position in a legisla-
tive body with honor to himself and good
to the people for whom he makes laws.
The legislature which is about to con-
vene is in many respects the most impor-
tant to Oklahoma which has so far as
sembled. These be troublesome times.
There is a disquietude in the air. Many
there are who believe the laws are bear-
ing too heavily upon them Some are
fast losing faith in our laws and institu-
tioBS, nnd are almost rtfady to sav, “We
will no longer make bricks without
straw.” This feeliug of unrest is mani-
fested in various ways. We recently

Honorable Commissioner Gen’l Land
Office, Washington, D. C.
Sir:—In view of the apparent neces-
sity for aid of some kind, and based
upon the many representations made
to this office by those effected, we de-
sire to address you personally upon a
matter of great importance to every
settler located in what is known as the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country, with
the purpose of enlisting your support
of some measure which will afford
them relief from pressing indebtedness
due the United States government.
You are aware that act of Congress
approved July 26, 1694, entitled “An
Act extending the time for final proof
and payment on lands claimed under
the public land laws of the United
States” extended the time of payment
for these lauds until April 19, 1695, and
that beginning with that period of time
the first installments due for these
Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands will fall
due in the ease of 3,000 or 4,000 entries
during the spring and summer of 1895,
and where entry was made of 100 acres
the first payment will amount to
$120.00 for each entryinan. The sum
to he paid by each individual is com-
paratively small, but in the aggregate
is large, amounting to nearly half a

al workings of financial and commer-

The foregoing is respectfully urged
upon your attention, with the hope
that you can see your way clear to
make some specific recommendation to
Congress for the purpose of obtaining
Bar] relief, and yon are re-
quested. if consistent with your views
of propriety iu the premises, to advise
us of the attitude of your office upon
this subject. Very respectfully,

treasury in this matter.
After the caucus, Congressman Sibley
of Pennsylvania, made one of his charac-
teristic, patriotic, telling speeches, in
which he handled the President with
gloves off. He described the President
as a combination of “Brain, Belly and
Brass” without being called to order.
He said the mouths of the members had
been padlocked by promises of patiou-
uge, and when pressed by Mr. Outbwaite
to tell who put u padlock upon his lips,
said: “Let me tell the gentlemen who
believe in going to hell in a hand cart
instead of to heaven supported by the
truth. Let me tell him also that I am
not addressing men who believe more in
a bobtail flush than in a contrite heart.”

Jan. 12th, 1895.
The indifference and stupidity of Con-
gress at this time very forcibly reminds
one of the time when Nero fiddled and
danced, while Rome burned. This is
especially true of the senate which is
still discussing the Nicaragua Canal
Bill. How ridiculous it is for these men
to speud days, and even weeks discuss-
iug a bib, which If enacted into law at
this time, would yield no benefits what-
ever to the present generation for no one
imagines for a moment that this propos-
ed canal count possibly be completed
ami in operation inside of twenty-live or
thirty y< ara, yet these legislators are ab-
solutely wasting the precious time that
belongs to the present generation, while
business is paralyzed, and bankrupt)’
and ruin is staring the country in the
face. When we contemplate the mil-
lions who are tramping our highways,
and the untold suffering of their families,
it uppears almost criminal, and very
close akin to treason, to see the right
and liberties of the people tampered
with in any such way, wheu relief is in
their hands and co ild easily be applied.
How long this long winded discussion of
this canal bill will continue in the Sen-
ate, no oue seems to have the least idea
at this time.
The House continues to discuss the
Carlisle currency bill, with apparently
no hope of its passage. It is assorted
by those who have canvassed the situa-
tion thoroughly, that the bill will be de-
feated by a majority ranging from twen-
ty-five to forty, One of its supporters
sta’es that the meusure had not at the
present time to exceed 113 friends. On
New York Record*r: The French re
public is not over five times as large in
tbe advancing signals of a coming storm.
A mighty people have become aroused
and their demands will brook no delay.
“While too young to participate in the
war of the rebellion yet I gather from
history, story and conversation with
men, that tlic soldiers who participated
were human, that many of them had but
a small conception of patriotism; that
there were skulkers and men whose pri-
mary motive in enlisting may have beeu
to gain; or to avoid trouble at home.
Men who performed their duty in a me-
chanical way, and even some who would
have deserted iu time of danger or need,
had it not been for the penalty incurred
in so doing, and amsng that number
were many whose reasons for joining
and serving their country were pi triot-
isra; yet in the skulker and in the man
whose motives may have been sordid,
and in all of such classes there was a
small spark of patriotism, and aggregat-
ing it us a whole, it was sufficient to
million dollars.
In order to have a proper appreciation
of the situation confronting us you
will bear in mind that the country is
new and largely settled by people who
came here from sections of the country
where, from inhospitable climate,
drouth, or other cause equally impera-
tive. they were forced to emigrate to
save themselves and their stock from
starvation.
These people, in their new homes,
have gone to work with commendable
zeal and energy, providing for their
families and endeavoring to meet their
obligations. Some came with no
money, others with barely enough to
build small houses and purchase neces-
sary farming implements. Their good
faith is beyond question, their means
have been expended in cultivating and
improving their lands
The prbgress already made iu their
task of transforming a wilderness into
a cultivated region reflects credit upon
their industry, and i-> all an earnest of
their thrift and good citizenship, but
not one in fifty possesses the means or
ability to meet the first payments due
for these lands next spring, and to ex-
act this payment will require more
ready money than all this •section of
Oklahoma possesses, or can hope to
possess by that time. One result will
be to force these people into the jaws
of the money sharks, for when the need
of money becomes imperative tiie lend-
er will exact such terms as please
him. regardless of the capacity of his
victim to pay. taking counsel only of
his insatiable greed.
The situation has been rendered
more acute by the dry season that af-
fected this region last summer in com-
mon with nearly all the trans-Missis-
sippi country’, extending from Ganada
to Mexico, but it is confidently believed
that if due time Ik* allowed to pay for
these lands the distress caused thereby
will he minimised if not entirely
alleviated. Timely legislation can
make of these settlers a self-support-
ing, independent people, while rigid,
or even moderate enforcement of ex-
isting laws will bring heavy burdens
to all and ruin to many’. These people
are genuine hoine-seekers. and. with
rare exceptions, have entered their
claims with the intention of building
fixed homes. The causes that are now
operating in full force, drouth, new-
ness and poverty, will be none the less
effective twelve months hence. Tem-
porary extensions do not meet the re-
quirements of the situation.
As a partial solution, at least, of the
difficulties we have suggested, we
would recommend that all settlers be
allowed to make payment for their
lands on making final proof, whether
proof be made one or sc veil years from
date of entry, thereby abolishing the
official Report of tin* Annual Meeting of
the Assessor* of Kingfisher County.

Kingfisher county met in the court

obtain funds to pay for these lands the
settler must first acquire title from the

by force of circumstances be collected
