The tucultv ot the territorial
university has decidod to dis-
countenance the use of the title
of professor. It is a sensible act,
and will not decrease the dignity
of the university an iota, but <n
the contrary will increase tin
respect for it. Now if tho omit

masters could be induced to take
similar action, Oklahoma could

has liiti-oducod, (by request,) in
tho house a joint resolution au-
thorising tho secretary ol the
interior to make advertisement
up in :1 cxpiratioi of the pres-
ent lea- of tho grazing lands ot
the Kio a, Comanche and
clie In liana in Oklahoma, for an
other lease ot said lauds tor out;
your at the minimum price ol ten
cents un acre. This is a scheme
of the cattlemen to get these
lands tor another year at any
event. That they could get no-
body to lather their job is evident
from the words "by request" on
the resolution. These two little
words are always tatal to a meas-
ure to which they are attached.

As the Governor had performed
no official act beto'e the tirade
against liini was instituted by Mr
Bixier. The tact becomes clearly
established that tho fight against
tho chief representative ot the
party in this territory was begun
by Mr. lllxlor, sole v u:i p ^rsonal
grounds.
The foregoing wa ground o it
by the governors local hand or-
gan last week and is false from
beginning to end. We first
learned ot his appointment lute

augurated on Wed nest lay and

spoke in as complimentary terms
as his most ardent admirer could
have askt-d. Tho night before
the Gov. wont to Guthrie he
came to the editor of this paper
a*.d had a long talk wit'i him and
xplain why he had bolt-
ed tho democratic ticket, in the
city election, and incidentally
explained how he earne to be in
the contederato army. Neitiicr
of his explanations made us think
any more ol him, as we knew
people.
Such a statement eo ing from a
man liko Mr. Man ire, who has
been considered the head light
and mouth-piece of tho party iu
this city, shows that the party is
rapidly disentegiating an cannot
hold together much longer. It is
goo I evidence that such and in
telligont man has made up his
mind that he can no longer affil-
iate with a party that indulges in
such vagaries as Coxeys army
and subtreasurys tor post holes.
