P1UDAV. MAY 3 1895.
Gold is Bound money. Yes,
with nn invincible ring.
Tub man who invents in Nor-
man stock will come out all light.
FltEE Silvek and McKinley.
This will please the goldlmg, but
it will not fool th# public.
The genuine free silver man is
unequivocal. The other fellows
lire Am#ricau product evaders.
Womans "nothing to wear"i loa
began with Eve and has beeu
kept well iu mind by the sex
f!V«r since.
It is stated that ex-Treasurer
Ewing of the Agricultural college
did not make full Battlement with
the institution—that he simply
paid over what ho claimed to owe,
and got credit for the amount he
paid over.
The Oklahoma editors have
abandoned the idea of an excur-
sion to Mexico; and will next
tackle the roads for a ride to
Denver in July; occasion of the
National Teachers' Association
which convenes there.
It Ihih not as yet been hinted
that an extra session of the Okla-
iv iria legislature is among tho
possibilities.
Owing to the scarcity of money,
: reight rates are kept up to
the
■ •Id notch, and travel is still three
.-ants a mile.
Wouldn't it be a novel idea to
select a jury of crazy men to try
men who excuse murder on the
plea of insanity.
The silver men have all the
li' st of organization. The very
n.iture of a goldbug directs him
toward isolation.
One of the worst features of
tho boom for free silver is that
(lie pops think they had some
land in llie result.
Fame h a tickle jade, even
Marshal Nix is referred to iu
eastern newspapers as a "'terror
to crooks and evildoers.
"Coin's Financial School" has
converted thousands of people to
the froe silver idea, but the late
panic has converted millions.
The key-note to the next re-
publican campaign has been
quietly given out. it will be free
.silver with a goii! string to it.
Seventeen million people are
made fat and comfortable by sil-
ver coinage and it, takes more
than fifteen millions to feed them.
there is now no longer a ques-
tion but that the whole of the
Indian country will be allotted so
soon as it is surveyed. The states
men of all parties agree that the
present conditions cannot and
should not be tolerated longer
than absolutely necessary.
The only "bi-nietalic-Amerioan
producf'oiator thus far developed
in Norman practices in the roar
end of Howntree & Baker's livery
barn. He a is a descendant of
the ancient Horse of Midas, and
his "yah-he, yah-he," voice has
increased with the length of ears.
Champ Clark says that the
people were justly mad at the
president and the senate because
they refused to give the country
financial relief, neither the presi-
dent nor tho senate could be
reached, hence congressional can-
didates made vicarious sacrifice.
That Ewing shortage is a mix-
ed quantity. The republican
papers say he tendered the money
a year ago. Ewing snjs he with-
held it at the instance of his
political advisers. Mr. Ewing
and the republican pieps should
hold a convention and get togeth-
er.
Leading republican papers have
a new theme for black head-lines.
"Our foreign policy—it is such
that South American countries
are losing confidence in us."
Mexico lost confidence in Uncle
Sam when Polk was president.
But this country continued to
live.
Ouu republican brethren find it
very hard work trying to make the
farmers believe iu the Fegan fee
bill. Under its provisions the
farmers and the district court
clerks get nil the worst of it
while the county officials get an
increase of salary they did not
ask.
Business men elected 011 the
city council mean that Ihe city
printing will be let to the lowest
bidder. Remember this when
\ mi go to vote.
The people may never see the
national capital moved nearer the
national ci liter: thev many never
see fairness in the distribution o;
national advantages.
"Ham" Sawyer lias sold tin
111 Be no Herald to Shirley Chap
man and ilia latter's father,
liotli "Hum" and tho people will
enjoy a well named rest.
A novel feature of the coining
confederate reunion at Houston,
IVxas, will b« .1 competitive dri.:
and sham buttle betwoeu ex-union
soldiers ami ex-confederates.
When Governor Sea\ says thai
Oklahoma will tend a McKn !e
delegation to tho next nation
republican convention, it is nu
♦horative. L'eKiuley is a rank
void but:.
Senator Dan "Voorhees is out
1111 a letter full of good sound j
House in behalf of free coinage.
The Senator lias wobbled a little j
on the silver question in dn-s
gone by, but ho deserves credit I
for his eleventh hour repentance |
and ho is a valuable man for the J
In a recent interview in Wash-
ington Hon. Robert L. Owen of
Muskogee, expressed himself re-
garding the work of the Dawes
commission in ihe following lan-
guage, which so nearly meets the
views of the Phoenix that we re-
produce it: "I believe this com-
mission will be able to do busi-
ness with the five tribes. It is
my opinion, as an interested par-
ty on the side of the Indians that
it is time to get to work and that
it will better for the Indian to
deal with this commission and the
present congress than to take
chances on some other adminis-
tration and some other congress.
I believe this will be made evi-
dent to them, and whon this is
done those whose interests are
against making a change cannot
defeat a wise plan of dividing the
lands and establishing a new or-
der of things. I think if this new
commission will go at the matter
right they will have some plan ac-
cepted by the Indiana by the next
congroBs when matters can be
adjusted and the people will be
bettor satisfied than they ar« now.
