The (J. A. R. post had a rousing

invited to attend.
It is believed that the red tank sta-

nailed the hatch of the water tank

The city is beginning to hum a Ut-

It is rumored that Andrew J. fur-

of the supreme court of Oklahoma,
to take the place of Burford, and
that there are still two vacancies on
the bench.
Komk people are continually talk-
ing about the square. The square,
the square, is their song. They did
not rest until they had chased every-
body off of it, and now they want it

at any rate it don't suit them.

The alleged strip frauds don't seem
to have become effective on the
uprthern borders of the strip. New-
kirk, the county seat of K county,
went almost unanimously democratic
at a recent city election. It is
quite evident that very few sooners
located in Newkirk.
Hurry up those street lamps! The
editor of the tank town Tribune was
in the city last night and, having
stood in front of the bar of the Sen-
ate too long, walked into a buffalo
wallow, fell down and soiled his shirt
collar. He arose and dashed the
dashed town for over an hour.
The republicans of ElKeno have
organized a joint stock company for
the purpose of starting a great re-
publican newspaper in that city.
The Wave has thought for some
time that there must be a vacancy
for a newspaper somewhere, but was
not dreaming of ElKeno. Let it come
out.
The new moon shows damp signs
and plenty of rain will soon be here.
Now if we can ge t over ground hog day

the strip, we can look for a howling
boom in the spring time.
Fifty lawyers were admitted to the
bar at Perry. Ohe of the examiners
put this query to an applicant:
"What does it take to make a case?"
"Twenty-four bottles!" was the quick
and laconic answer. Of course, the
applicant was admitted.—State
Capital.
Mrs. Lease is the brains of the
popgun party in Kansas; Jerry Simp-
son is the sockless feet of it; Lewell-
ing is a sort of a butter milk milky
way, and the balance of the party
don't really know where they are at,
but it must be presumed that the
Coming Events will fully prove up on
everything.
The entire propping of the state-
hood question seems to have been
knocked out. The Wave's idea of
single statehood is the only practical
solution of the trouble. Take the
entire Indian territory, Oklahoma
and all within the boundaries of one
state but let the Indian stay out of
state affairs until he cedes his lands
to white settlement.
The telegraph tells of a servant
girl who seized and ran away with a
bag of jewelry a burglar had stolen,
but Topeka can beat that for she has
a man who took the burglar himself.
He told the thief all'his money was
in the pocket of his wife's dress.
The burglar spent so much time find-
ing it that daylight came and the
police woke up and arrested him.
A few of the council see"1 t0 want
all street work done by the day. It
is a mistake as it will cost almost
double what contract work would.
The street work should be let out by
contract, so much a yard. In day
work horses and uiules walk very
slow and scrapers go half loaded, in
contract work the teams walk much
faster and the scrapers are always
full.
THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE
At Washington—The Senate Commit-
tee Still Considering the
Station Bill.
Special to the Dally Wave.
Washington, Jan. 12.—The senate
committee on railroads did not take
up the house bill compelling the rail-
roads to establish stations at the
government towns in the Cherokee
Strip until yesterday. Secretary
Hoke Smith appeared before the
committee and fully explained the
position of the government in the
premises; why it had established the
towns away from the railroad depots,
it being for the express purpose of
baffling the railroad companies in
their preconcerted scheme in gobbling
all the land to speculate on with the
people, through the Indian allotment
law. Among other things he said
that at some stations the railroad
company did not leave enough suit-
able land open adjoining their stations
for the government townsites. He
had requested the postmaster gen-
eral not to establish postoftices at the
railroad towns, believing that the
government should stand by the towns
it established.
Attorney Wright represented the
Rock Island company and of course
did all he could to protect his comp-
any's Interests by defeating the bill.
Mayor Moore and W. R. Gregg of Knid
the government town, said their town
has 4,000 people and should have rail-
way facilities and that no railway
should be permitted to run its trains
through such a town at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, and compel the
people to go three miles to the sta-
tion, just because the railway owned
the townsite where the station is.
They said the north addition might
have a postofflce and a railway sta-
tion too, for all they cared, hut they
wanted Enid to have the same.
The committee has not yet reported
on the bill, but every indication
points to a report favorable to the
government town,
The question of constitutionality
has not been raised.
The Rock Island railroad manage-
ment has sworn that it would cost
$150,000 to erect a station and
side track at the government Pond
Creek city. By jove, the railroad
must think Pond Creek is going to be
a rousing large city. Say you, Mr.
Lowe, up at Topeka, the Pond Creek
people want a small depot, not one
like the union depot in New York
city. Don't you understand?
The republican papers keep pound-
ing away at President Cleveland,
blaming him for the hard times, bad
weather, closing of factories, failure
of crops, tow prices. In fact to read
a republican paper and believe the
stuff, the reader must lirst believe
that Cleveland has more power than
the divine ruler and that he is turn-
ing everything over to the devil.
The republican party has lived on
hurrah for thirty years, and they will
always keep it up.
The great religious and innocent
Rock Island railroad doesn't run any
trains on Sundays and is nearly two
i ours behind time on week days. The
real estate committee is always on
time when it comes to mean, dirty
misrepresentation and swindling. Let
the good work go on: the day of
judgment is coming.
New York is so far oft' its base
that the Wall street gang of blood
suckers are in a state of trembling
Indecision. Meanwhile the Rocky
mountain country, which a few
months ago was receiving the mock
commisseration of the New York
gold bugs, is improving right along,
and asking no favors of anybody.
The gold camps have a treasure de-
posit that never came from any life

or "investment" companies in the

CHARITY.
Over and above the amounts that
have been already given, Chicago is
raising $1,000,000 to relieve the suffer-
ing poor of that city. One of the
methods proposed of raising the sum
is to have every employed laborer in
the city devote one day's wages to
the fund. This might be extended to
an assessment on each merchant and
every industry of the city a certain
per cent. If the ratio was kept so
that it would make one man pay one
cent as well as another man one hun-
dred dollars, it would work no injus-
tice to anyone. As all divergent
lines usually meet in the abstract
and all universals their quality and
become one, so if all the people of
Chicago, all of them, of course, each
I proportionately to his wealth, were
i to give a certain sum in charity to
I the poor of the city, they would abso-
j lutely lose nothing. The money
| given the poor would be spent for
food and necessaries. These neces-
j saries would be purchased of the
merchants of Chicago, If the laborer
| gives, why the necessity of his labor
is contingent on the very business
done with these poor and others; if it
were not for these he himself would be
out of work. The commerce of the
world, if each one would honestly
perform his share of the labor,
THE CITY'S GOOD NAME MUST
BE PRESERVED.
In Tuesday evening's issue of the
Eagle there appeared an article
which was probably ment for humor,
but still casts a reflection on our city
government that might be taken for
truth abroad, and be recorded
against the good name of Enid. The
article referred to said that a cer-
tain aged christian minister was
going to preach in the barracks of
the Salvation army, but was informed
by the captain that he would have to
procure a license from the city be-
fore he could be allowed to preach
the gospel.
If such a conversation ever took
place the captain was certainly jok-
ing, as anyone possessing ordinary in-
teligence knows full well that the
city has not enacted any such a
ridiculous iaw. Such items written
in an apparent earnest tone, should
not appear in the public prints of the
city, as the enemies of Enid are
always ready to dress them with the
shades of truth and publish them
broadcast over thecountrj-. Several
items of the same damaging stripe
have been published heretofore and
they are now rattling along in the
public prints of the east, hence, the
Wave begs leave to call a halt. The
preaching of the gospel is as free in
Enid as anywhere under God's blue
canopy.
THE WAVE TOLD YOU SO.
The men who control the Five Na-
tions say that they will oppose any
statehood measure that will attach
their lands to Oklahoma at this time,
but later on they may be willing to be
added to the state of Oklahoma. We
would like to know what reasons are
given for putting it off.—Press-Ga-
zette.
The reasons are plain: the Indians
own their lands and if let alone by
the meddling politicians they would
rather remain as they are ^or the
present. The Wave has touched the
only practical plan to settle this
question. Take the Indian reserva-
tions within the boundaries of the
state of Oklahoma just as they stand
until the government can treat with
them for the purchase of the land for
settlement. Just as soon as a res-
ervation is opened it comes into the
state government just as the strip
did in being attached to Oklahoma
territory. The ideas of the WAVE if
adopted would everlastingly lay dou-
ble statehood in the shade and in the
end make Oklahoma one of the great-
est states in the Union. Under the
ideas of the Press-Gazette and many
other newspapers it would require at
least three years to perfect the state
organization in the way of annulling
the Indian treaties by act of congress.
INDIAN OPPOSITION

and Eaith to Delau the State-
hood Bill.
WHEELER MISINFORMED.
O COUNTY.
The people are coming and capital
is coming to make O county one of
the wealthiest and most prosperous
in the grand territory. Every ex-
perienced agriculturist who has ever
cast his eyes on the fertile soil of O
county becomes infatuated with the
fertile soil and bright prospects.
There is no question concerning the
fertility of the land for wheat and all
kinds of small grain and the healthi-
ness of the climate is well known.
The attitude is a happy medium be-
tween' the low malarial countries and
the arid plains of the west.
Come to O county if you wish
purchase land and build up anew and
prosperous home. If you desire to go
into business of any Kind, come to
the thriving city of Enid, the county
seat, and establish a trade with the
people as they come in. The very
best interest of the people of Enid
and O county shall always be a cardi-
nal principle of the Daily and Weekly
Wave.
An Effort to be Made to Kill the Meas-
ure in Committee—The Friends of
Statehood Not Yet Heard From
Washington, D. C., Jan. 9.
Chairman Wheeler of the commit-
tee on territores stated today that
because of a rush of other business
and many important measures now
pending in congress it was doubtful
whether his bill providing for the ad-
mission of Oklahoma would be
reached.
Representative Wheeler today re-
ceived a letter from Chief Harris of
the Cherokee nation protesting
against any such measure as the
McRae bill, which forces statehood
on the Indians. It was farther point-
ed out that the Indians have long
memories and instead of voting witli
the parties which had forced state-
hood upon them contrary to their
wishes they would vote against them.
Chairman Wheeler is pronounced
in his opposition to any measure
which will virtually result in a viola-
tion of the treaties with the Indians,
To a correspondent today he said:
"These treaties are as binding as
could have been possibly made. We
cannot afford as a congress to violate
them, and will have to wait until the
commission that has been appointed
to treat with them has entered into
some arrangement that will be satis-
factory to the Indians."
Considerable opposition, which was
not at first expected, has developed
against the Oklahoma statehood bill.
Just how far this opposition will go,
should the committee on territories
press its bill, cannot be stated. It
will unquestionably be urged that the
commission, of which ex-Senator
Dawes is chairman, and which was to
have begun its session at Muskogee
this month, give the Indians a good
price for their land in order to induce
them to sever their tribal relations
and submit to statehood.
Neither political party will run the
risk of forcing upon the Indians ob-
jectionable statehood. As Chairman
Wheeler puts it, the Indian has too
good a memory. Those in the terri-
tory who are opposed to severing the
tribal relations have not been slow to
appreciate the importance of calling
attention to this characteristic of
the Indian. In the bill which pro-
vides for the admission of the terri-
tory without the five tribes, demo-
crats who are disposed to oppose it
allege that the population is too un-
certain and the conditions too cha-
otic to admit of statehood at this
time. That is the way matters stand
and unless some tall missionary work
is done by the friends of statehood
there seems little hope for it at this
congress.

the vexation of taxation.
Over at Guthrie they propose to get
at the vexing tax question on land
not proven up about as follows:
Plowing, wells and that class of im-
[ provements will not be taxed.
Houses, barns, and all improve-
ments of that nature will be taxed.
This is County Attorney Huston's
method of bringing a test on the
mooted question of taxing improve-
ments on claims not proven up.
Those demurring may enjoin the
treasurer. Mr. Huston's plan is a
good one.—News.
It is a question in the mind of the
Wave whether homesteaders really
save anything in the way of taxes by
not proving up their claims just as
soon as the layv will allow. It always
takes just so much money to pay the
running expenses of a county or state
and it must come from some source,
hence, the improvements are taxed
about as much as the land and all
would be.
THE COUNTRY EDITOR A MON.
ARCH.
The Wave ventures upon a delicate
subject that will not be copied.
Nine tenths of the country editors
of this great republic have been the
galley slaves of railroad companies
ever since the hurrah principle of j
government was inaugurated by I
the republican party in 1860. Thcjj
average country editor takes more]
pride in his railroad pass than hej
does in his paper or the town he ex-
pects to support his literary efforts J
and just why this is true is beyond i
the comprehension of the writer fori
the reason that a railroad gets more
and gives less to a newspaper in dol-j
lars and cents than any other busi-j
ness on the face of God's globe. The i
pass that is given the editor covers®
a multitude of sins, committed}^
against the people who support the ,"j
paper, if it is supported. The paper®
that accepts a railroad pass is com.®
pelled by contract to give theft
company granting it about $100|
worth of advertising, at regular!
country newspaper rates, for every I
$5.00 worth of riding on trains that r
the editor lias time to consume; J
besides this he is required to subject LI
himself to about $500 worth of silence ;
in regards to the manipulation ofr
said railroad against the direct and F
indirect interests of the people that i
any paper may represent, yet there P
are thousands of newspaper men who i
think more of their pass than the J
men who really support their papers; J
—yea verily—right here is the trouble J
right here is the great strength of !t
railroads to thwart the will of the :
people in governing this country.
Dear reader have you ever been on i
a railroad train at that sublime anil j
happy moment, when a country edi- ;
tor handed his annual pass to the ^
conductor for inspection; if 3'ou have, ^
did you notice the Vanderbilt sort of |
a smile that perambulated the coun- f
tenance of the patent inside man
as he leaned back in the seat and i'
apparently surveyed everything '
in sight in the spirit of complete L
ownership? Picture if you can Sj
George Gould out on the Atlantic j
ocean in his private yatch, sitting ;
amidst upholstered splendor in his prl-'(
vate state room, vieyving the foaming t
waves as they dash hither and thither,
smoking a fifty cent cigar, and i
dreaming of the millions his father 1
left him; a perfect picture of con- 1
tentment, if you please. It is noth- j)
ing in comparison with the feelings I
of the country editor as he sits on
the seat of a railroad smoking car, '
with a pass In his pocket, he feels as j
if he owned the road, but the trouble f
is the road owns him. It is the duty 1
of a newspuper to stand by the rail- |
road that stands by the people it $
represents, but when the railroad |
acts contrary to the interests of its *
clients, then the pass should be sent
in with thanks for past favors, and ^
war begun on the enemy. The $
trouble w'ith the light of the people ;]
for justice in the strip must, to a a
great extent, be charged to the pass a
system of bribing and it is one of the
cheapest bribes that can be offered a
to an honorable man.
The Wave wants it understood i
right now that it will not under any |
consideration, so far forget its duty |
to this people as to accept any sup- j
posed free transportation on the L'
Rock Island railroad for its silence pj
or advertising until a depot is estab-;•'
lishtd in the phenorninal city of Enid, j
In other words the WAVE thinks
more of the interests of the business )
man who may have a two dollar ad in 1
this paper than it would of an annual '
pass on the Rock Island railroad, for .
the reason that said railroad exacts '
so much and gives so little. There is j
not a paper in the United States sup- '
ported by a railroad company, unless I
it is the red tank addition Tribune j)
it has no other visible support. The
Wave passes the subject of passes.
"Eveky sweet has Its bitter," is an
old adage. The people of Chicago
are now having experience, in that
line. They had the big fair, and it
attracted buncos and thieves from
all over the country. The fair is a
thing of the past, but the thieves
and buncos are with them still, and
the city is becoming terrorized over
the number and boldness of the rob-
beries. It is said the police are
powerless to put them down. Sev-
eral citizens have been murdered in
their homes. The city has been
practically put under marshal law.
trlous in preparing for the crops this
year.
No complaint or kicking comes
from any quarter of the strip, and
the residents are pleased with the
officers appointed by Governor Ren-
frow. It Is true there are some few
townsite fights between rival towns
located near each other, but time
will regulate this matter, and in the
end the towns showing the most vigi-
lance and progressiveness will win.
The howl kicked up by the disgrun-
tled republicans has about subsided,
and everything indicates a speedy
settlement of the numerous contest
casts ami an adjustment of the town
lot differences The mild winter has
been a Godsend to the strip people,
and they are correspondingly happy.

Barrett is city editor of the paper

FOUL FIGURES.
There has been considerable talk
about the Enlds. There will be less
in future, the census having shown
them to contain 1,100 and 1,300
respectively.' It is easy to have a
good town until the ruthless census
taker comes along. Guthrie News.
It is quite evident the editor of the
News knows nothing concerning Enid

subsidized railroad sheet. The fig-
ures given above are the work of a
hired railroad enumerator, and the
News certainly knows It.
speed has sped to washing-
ton.
The great illustrious smasher of
democratic hopes and ambitions,
Horace Speed, district attorney of
Oklahoma, is in Washington in close
communion with his democratic boss,
General Olney. After hurriedly seek-
ing an interview with Olney he, al-
most out of breath, proceeded to
deny the charge that he had any in-
tention of resigning, and, that he
could make the interior department
all the trouble he desired, remaining
in office. If reports are true, Mr.
Speed had better hurry back here
and look out for himself, as a certain
grand jury are threatening to ii. lict
him for stuffing the jury at Perry,
Just how long the democratic admin-
istration is going to tolerate Speed
is quite a question to all men who are
deeply interested in democracy in
this territory.
Be Patient.
A few very Important special mes-
sages were received from Messrs.
Moore and Gregg yesterday, yet thev
were not for publication. However,
they report favorable progress. The
senate committee has not reported
yet, nor are they expected to this
week. Everything indicates a favor-
able report.
a special bill.
| The various counties of the strip
should work for the passage of a
special bill through congress giving
boni lide settlers citizenship and the
right to vote after a residence of
ninety days. Under the present ter-
ritorial law many good citizens will ,
be deprived of their votes next fall.
The man who purchases land any J
time next summer and goes to work
in good faith to live on the same and
improve it should not be deprived of j
his vote in the fall. The election of
county officers next fall will be a 1
very important matter for the future !
wellfare of O county and every man
actually making a home in the coun-
ty should vote.
A SOLID TRUTH.
The republican newspapers and pol-
iticians would consider it a great cal-
amity if the country would become
prosperous again inside of a few
months. It is said that a quarter of
a million of workingmen who were idle
a month ago are now working full
time, but we have yet to see one in-
stance where a republican newspaper
has published the fact. On the con-
trary we see it mentioned in many of
them that business is getting worse
and that there are no hopes for an
early improvement of the busine#*
depression. This fact alone is doing
more to discourage capital that is
now lying Idle in the banks of the
country than anything we know of.-
