Washington, .Tune 21.—The post-
the metals could be maintained un-
der bimetalism. The recent state-
ment on behalf of the French gov-
ernment, the resolutions ot the Ger-
man reichstag and the state council
of the Prussian diet and the emphat-
ic declaration of the United States in
favor of International bimetalism are
proofs of their desire to join Great
Britain in a serious endeavor to ac-
complish this end."
The memorial concludes: "In the
presence of the evils which can-
not be denied, we hope the govern-
ment will not suffer a hypothetical
danger to special interests, or a
prophetic or unsupported assertion
of harm to industry or commerce to
deter them from a hearty co-oper-
ation with the other potvets in such
measures as seem desirable for se-
curing a fixed par of exchange for
the two metals and a more stable
standard of value than we now pos-
sess."
The above Is very encouraging to
bimetalists. but wait until Boss
Sheeny Rothcbild shows his teeth
and the London merchant will hide
out down cellar: however, should bi-
metalism be adopted through an in-
ternational conference during the
administration of Grover Cleveland,
all would exclaim, "What a great
head the president has!" and all
would be forgiven and the Democrat-
ic party would remain in power in-
definitely.

Doctors Thread gill and Galbraith.
The institution is located on a com-
manding elevation, is three stories
high with a large wing on the east
end which is now in process of erec-

and contain over 100 rooms. Ac-
commodations are afforded for over
200 people. The lloorH are divided
into regulation wards, which contain
all modern improvements and ap
polntments, such as toilet and bath
rooms, sewerage, etc. All the rooms
are nicely furnished and well venti-
lated. Dr. Galbraith and brother

THE GOLD SCARE.
From ilic El Reno EjikU'.
The excitement over the gold dis-
coveries in G and Washita counties
has spread into every nook and cor-
ner of the United States and today
the Oklahoma gold fields are the
chief topic of conversation all over
the country. At first the rumors of
rich linds were discredited and
greeted with smiles of derison, but as
the reports were confirmed from day
to day by men who returned from
the camps, even the most skeptical
became convinced that gold exists in
paying quantities in the western
counties. For days past people have
rtockedintotli.it region, until non-
one camp has a population of 1800
and is grow ing with phenominal rap-
idity. Hundreds of claims have been
staked of and everywhere there are
men busy at work with pick and pan,
searching for and gathering the
precious metal An Oklahoma City
man returned from the mines this
morning with a sack of sand which
is rich in gold and which he refused
to sell at any price. Speculation in
mining claims is lively, some of them
having been sold several times, each
sale being at a big advance over the
previous one. As in all mining
camps, there is a fair share of roughs
and some disorder, but Marshal Nix
this morning sent Deputy Marshal V.
done in these offices during the year
ended March 31. 1895. The report
makes one of the best statements of
business rise and fall throughout the
country that can be gotten from gov-
ernmental statistics. There is noth-
ing which better indicates the pros-
perity and adversity of any locality
than the record of this postoffice bus-
iness. The department is glad to
know that the general averages of
this year bIiow many postofflces to
have increased their business. There
are fewer offices showing a decrease
of business. The changes in post-
masters'salaries in Oklahoma terri-
tory are as follows In the presiden-
tial offices:
El Reno, advanced from third to
second.
Increased—Edmond to $1,100, El
Reno to $2,000, Norman to $1,600, Ok-
lahoma City to $2,400. Stillwater to
$1,400.
Decreased—Enid. $1,700 (decrease,
$200): Guthrie, $2,309: Pond Creek,
1,000.
Oklahoma territory has fifteen
presidential postofHces. Five are ad-
vanced and three set back, and there
is an increase of $27,217 in business.
The increase for the fiscal year
shows a net increase ot $2,900,000
over last year. There are but eight
states and territories in the union
whose business produces a net reve-
nue to the government, and Oklaho-
ma is among that number.
great question of the day, bimetalism.
The speaker was greeted with great
applause as he ascended the plat-
form. Hon. W. S. Whittinghill arose
and introduced the speaker in h.s
usual pleasant way.
The Wave tried to get a stenogra-
pher to take the speech for publica-
tion but fai'.ed to find any one in the
city who would undertake the work,
however, as the speech would occupy
about twelve columns of our space it
would have strained ourcapacity and
space to have published it. Mr.
Bryan talked for nearly three hours
and the audience gave him the strict-
est attention throughout. It was a
brilliant outline of the silver cause |
convincing, practical an;l logical.
We will not attempt to <iuote any
part of it at this time as the speech
he made today at Oklahoma City will
undoubtedly reach the large eastern
dailies and we may reproduce it.
The formal reception given Mr.
Bryan at the hotel last night was well
attended and the evening was spent
very pleasantly. Mr. Bryan left a
good impression on our people and no
doubt his nonpartisan talk of yester-
day has done much good.
MATTHEWS ON SILVER.
Governor Matthews, of Indiana,
a letter to a New York paper, makes
the following pertinent points on
silver:
1. I favor an earnest, vigorous and
prompt effort by the United States
taking the initiative, to bring about
a speedy agreement, or refusal, be-
tween the great commercial nations,
as to the coinage of silver and deter-
mine its ratio, believing the world
needs a wider and more extended use
of silver. Failing in this, or other
nations refusing, I would then favor
the independent coinage by the
United States of the silver product
of this country, excluding foreign
bullion.
2. It Is impossible to predict what
the democrats of Indiana will urge as
the financial plank in the national
platform. I believe it will be for a
true, honest and just bimetalism, and
certainly not for the single gold
standard.
3. The republicans in this state
are badly divided on this question.
While many of the leading republi-
cans are undoubtedly for the single
gold standard, yet the majority will
favor the coinage of silver upon
some basis or other.
MINING EXCITEMENT.
Returns from Enid's mines are com-
ing in slowly and the indications dis-
played on the face of the large quan-
tity of rock brought in, our fellows
have struck a rich crevice of fissure
vein. Last Wednesday A. W. Bal-
dock, J. P. Moore, M. Roach and
James Mitchell left Enid on the still
hunt for mineral having had a pointer
Baldock and Mitchell have returned
bringing with them a specimen of
carbonate rock which shows traces
of copper and iron: if there is any
gold or silver In it the same is care-
fully hidden from the naked eye or a
powerful microscope
The rock is simply an indication of
mineral, an assay of the same might
develope something rich. The boys
think they have struck something;
Moore and Roach are at work in the
mine while the other boys came
home for supplies. Miners Baldock
and Mitchell refuse to unlock their
bosoms as to the location of the mine
but it is a long ways this side of the
Arapahoe diggings. The WAVE is
very doubtful whether there is any-
thing in the specimen exhibited ex-
cept a little copper and very much
iron.
bills.
The Perry papers keep blowing
about the wonderful oats on the
court house square. There has been
considerable wild oats sown on the
Enid square now: it is a base ball
oasis.
Hennessey had a little blaze last
Wednesday. Shade's furniture store
caught fire in the rear of a brick
building: fortunately the day was
calm or a whole block would have
burnt. Loss about $500.
The gold excitement reached the
highest fever point last Thursday
and has been on the decline ever
since. The "Golden City" of 30,000
people pans out to be a city composed
of three miners and a pair of mules.
The El Reno Eagle seems to be de-
termined to keep up the western
gold excitement gold or no gold. As
El Reno is an outfitting point and
has a toll bridge over which all must
pass who go into the country,
we can see where the Eagle is right.
The most stylish editors of Oklaho-
ma are Mort L. Bixler, of the Nor-
man Democrat, and Leslie G. Nib-
lack, of the Guthrie Leader; they are
both too sweet for anything. Bixler
wears a fly screen over his alabaster
shirt bosom during the day and puts
it in the refrigerator at night to
keep the flies from soiling it Nib-
lack keeps an office boy husy all the
time dusting the dust and flies from
WELL DONE.
Tlfc brief speech made by Hon. W.
S. Whittinghill introducing Bryan
yesterday, was well delivered and to
the point, however, the speaker had
been hauled over the coals a little by
a few deputies who live from the
crumbs falling from the table of the
Garfield county republican dynasty,
for assuming the responsibility of in-
troducing a democrat speaker to an
Enid audience.
But. after Bryan got started and
kept firing broadside into the gold
bug ideas of Carlisle and Sherman,
said little one-horse brained deputies
were tickled to death, but only when
Carlisle was mentioned. These little
deputies think more of their little
low salaried jobs than they do of 16
to 1. their bleeding country or any-
thing pertaining to the good of the
general public. If Senator Teller or
any distinguished republican would
visit this city to make a bimetalic
speech the free silver democracy
would give him a hearty welcome and
any one of them would gladly intro-
duce him to the audience. Bimetal-
ism is a political question, but not a
party question at the present time
and its discussion should not be ham-
pered with fealty or extreme loyalty
to party.
In the glaring light magnificently*
reflected from the late doings of the
National republican league which has
quite recently shut up shop and gone
home, it is quite hard for a western
republican to remain loyal to his par-
ty and be a bimetalist, yet he will
howl free silver and at the same time
follow the gold tiug leaders of the
party to the brink of sheole, and
jijinp in after the bosses if necessary.
The republican party is destitute of
lfi to 1 people east of the Missouri
river while the democratic party can
scare them up in every nook and cor-
ner of the republic.
GONE GLIMMERING.
The great gold excitement in
the
his patent leather shoes
southwest has died out like a morn-
ing dew or a summer cyclone, leav-
ing nothing but a memory behind.
The WAVE firmly believes, in fact,
really knows, that there is a small
deposit of gold deposited in sand in
spots here and there on the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains as far
east as the Missouri river in its wind-
ing course to the ocean, but it has
never been found in paying quanti-
ties as far from the mountains as the
late diggings near Arapahoe.

hood of the alleged gold fields closer
than the Rocky mountains, unless,
the low set Wichita mountains can
be figured as such.
It is possible that there is mineral,
in paying quantities in said moun-
tains. In our opinion if there is-
precious metal in this territory it is
to be found in said mountains and
the late trace of gold found on Boggy
creek indicates the truth of the-
Wave's belief. The Wichita moun-
tains are not open to i-he inspection
of miners, but the government should
send experts in there to prospect
those mountains thoruughtly _~H)

of course, by said jailor. He was al-

said girl as usual. Finally when the
jailor started out to round up his
prisoner he found his dirty linen and
old clothes, the bird had donned a
new suit and broke for freedom a
half hour before the jailor knew it.

could not print the Fourth of July
bills for his own town and sent to
Wichita for them. The Wave can
print a tri-colored tinted bill, 30*44

anywhere in the world, but still to
hear the doctor toot his own horn, lie

work as a paper whose dally expense

The will-o'-the-wisp Wizard, alias
Gizzard, now predicts the Wave's
death. Some time ago it accused us
of owning tv.e earth, more especially
that part of it that said porous plas-
ter claims as its own. Ail this goes
to show that said bar-tender don't
know much about anything but
mixed drinks.
It will be remembered that the
Coming Uncertainty, in the absence
of any competitor whatever, agreed
to do the city printing at the rate ot
19 cents per square in warrants, being
equal to about 9 cents in cash. Now
comes Patrick trying to get into the
council to raise the rate a little if
possible. The Wave and all true
economists of the city are interested
in seeing that the Uncertainty car-
ries out exactly what it agreed to do.
The Wave could not do the city
printing at any such price and do an
honest business In the way of paying
Its obligations, but It is in favor of
economy in city matters, hence, will
do all It can to make people carry
out their contracts with the city.
Eyery now and then some stupid
thing, attempting to insinuate to the
general public that he Is an editor,
gets up on his Kangaroo hind feet
and remarks that the Wave is not a
decent paper, because, we presume,
the said Wave tries to infuse a little
life in its columns outside of howling
or kicking for some pull or other.
The papers slinging such dirt at us
are neither decent nor indecent: they
are simply nothing and of very little
use on our exchange table. The
Wave has aimed to exchange with
every paper or imitation of a paper
in the territory just to be neighborly
but any of them who don't like our
style will please notify us by stop-
ping their ink smeared sheets from
coming here and wc will gladly dis-
continue the exchange as the dirt
slinging papers are ol no use to
for news or information of any kind
The latest Guthrie horror is simply
awful. A great big toad jumped
down a negro's throat while he was
cleaning a well. Frank Greer rushed
up, baited his hog hook, shoved it
down the coon's throat, the toad bit,
and Greer landed him safe on dry
land.
ABOUT 500 homesteaders of the
Enid land district have applied for
and received a leave of absence, but
very few of them were given over
seven months. They are nearly all
people who have no means to live or
improve their land, hence, it is safe
to say that about 500 claims in the
district are lying idle: no wheat will
be put out this fall. It is sate
presume that many of the claims will
turn up abandoned.
Secretary Smith has approved the
order extending Wichita reservation
grazing leases in the Indian terr
tory for a year at lour cents an acre
instead of six cents as heretofore
with a proviso permitting the termi
nation of the lease at any time
The leases in the Kiowa, Commanche
and Arapahoe reservations were ex
tended at the old rate.
BRAVE GIRLS
A couple of daring women of Perry
passed through the city Saturday
enroute to the Arapahoe gold dig-
gings. They had a good team and
agon, well provided with grub and
the usual camping utensils. They
ere all alone: that is to say. there
ere no men folks with them.
A Wave reporter interviewed them
and among other things they said:
We have left our big lazy husbands
at home to take care ot the children,
which is about all they are fit for.
WTe are going to try to get a good
mining claim and then we will open a
restauiant in the new camp called
Golden'"
Thus the world is changing rapidly.
It will not be long until the men folks
will be doing the washing, ironing
and mending, while the big brawny-
arms of the girls will be seen hurling
an ax 011 the wood-pile. The bloomer
costume is the forerunner of the
change.
The plutocrats are making active
propagando for "sound money.
They make a thundering lot of noise
because they have a subsidized press
to report everything they suggest.
Their frantic efforts to prevent the
working people from being imposed
upon by cheap money, is enough to
draw tears—yes, a regular salt well
gusher—from a .brass monkey.
The idea of fixed income men, or men
who live on interest, giving people
advice how to get out of debt so they
will not have to pay interest. It's so
ildiculously absurd that It is really
funny. It is like the fox and goose
story—the plutocrat is the fox. Or
it is like the merchant advising his
customers to buy no more of his
goods.
The Wave is glad that none of
Enid's citizens blew in any money 011
the fake gold mine boom. The hand
that pilots this journal has had 17
vears' experience in the mines, hence
the geological and geographical lo-
cation of the alleged mines led us to
believe from the beginning that
there was uothing in it, and time has
proven our theory correct; however,
we will bet dollars against doughnuts
that there is mineral in the Wichita
mountains.
Guano Retainer Isenberg" is what
we are dubbed by an alleged paper
that promises to pay Its foreman off
in meal tickets and smoking tobacco
and then don't paj him anything.
Well, wc love to be accused of some-
thing original in this world. There
is 110 danger of nurse Edwards being
accused of anything original, except
the idea of swiping a drug store.
Lord Salisbehry lives in Enid and
while he is glad the queen appointed
him, he is rather skeptical on the ap-
pointment as he has not been offici-
ally notified. He is inclined to think
there has been a mistake made: it
must have been Lord Huckleberry,
who received the appointment or
there is just a chance that It was
Lord Pokeberrv.
Maxey and Dillon, the twin county
commissioners, are in favor of Enid
paying a very large share of the
county taxes but when it conies to
spending a little of the money to
build a fence around the horse lot,
they are absent and not voting.
The Wave cares very little who is
elected mayor of the city, so he is a
man who will look after the city's In-
terest without allowing his prejudice
bump to swell and make the city
business an object of ridicule and
boisterous laughter.
And now a New York man comes
along and says that dogs do not gi
"mad," that in reality there is 110
such a thing as rabies or hydropho-
bia. Another time-honored belief
threatened. The ruial neighborhood
in " dog days" will be a dull place
without this source of excitement.
