FRIDAY, JULY 5 1895.
The importeis of foreign goods are
loudest for home protection.
Someone has to be criticised for the
recent .luil delivery lit Oklahoma cit\,
therefore tniike it the Jiiilor.
Capital punishment should lie to
strangle capital iu self defence, it Iihs
a knife at the Nation's throat.
Evkiiy importer of foreign cheap
labor is for McKinley and high tariff
"to protect I he American laborer."
It is claimed that the republican
league did not pass a silver resolution.
This is a mistake. They passed it by.
It may be obseryed that as the sil-
ver agitation increased,the gold power
in the Arapahoe country assuages
This is reciprosity.
>1h. Olney has fcone forhissuminei
vacation, and the duty of holding
down the JJntish lion's tail has come
to l>ou jjickerson once more.
Teh republican league declared that
its mission was simply social1 one.
and not to pass resolutions. It ie-
Holved. however, but not for silver.
The bankers association resolved in
favor of capital punishment lor bank-
robbers. Construe this to mean the
bank-iobbers, and the Topic will hoist
a Hag. __________
Tiie price"of the Topic is one dollar
year. This being a silver paper, si -
ver dollars preferred; currency will
answer, but gold will positively be
declined.
The gold bugs have the advantage
in one .espect. They can say mean
things about the silver people, and lie,
you can't say a mean thing about a
gold bug, and lie.
The wheat and oats crop of Kansas
liave been very light but the potato
crop has beeu exceedingly good this
yaar. Potatoes make a mighty good
fence around the Hour barrel.
Oklahoma, six years old. raised her
own peaches and apricots this year.
Apples, pears and cherries were also
grown to quite an extent.while grapes
blackberries and wild plums,—O, mjl
Bun. Brown of the Times-Journal
has the sympathy of the Topic in his
being thumped by a burly politician
twice his weight. When occassion re-
quires, the Topic confidently trusts
Bro. Brown will return the sym-
pathy thus extended.
A Millionaire of Boston, has es-
tablished a free sanitarium at South
Vines, N. 0.. for iudigent consump-
tives ' He lias weak lungs and after
four months stay at this place, he has
puichased 5.000 acres of laud, and will
put small houses there on, and per-
haps give light work to the sufferers.
Custsdian Campbell of the llistor
ical Society should come forward with
that book anything worth writing is
worth publishing, full your light
from under that bushel Campbell.
The newspaper boys will be espec-
ially inteiesled in it, as the Topic un-
derstands it lias 'a editali" m the text.
When Bryan, at Oklahoma City
some weeks **go, explained what 16 to
1 meant and told the story of Tommy
pulling the cat's tail, it was supposed
at the time to be original w ith Bryan.
It turns out, however, that the Silver
Congressman stole them bodily with
out charge of word or puntuation
mark Irom editorials in last Mon
■lay's Guthrie Leader. But just how
Bryan found out three weeks before
hand, what Monday's editorials in the
Leader would be-"ah, dares the mys-
tery." _
At last the Endeavoreis have entered
their protest against the maintenance
of saloons in the Capitol building at
Washington. They declare that the
liquor drank In these places causes
their patrons to become intoxicated
and appear in Congress in a condition
which is a disgrace to the public.
This position can be fully sustained
upon moral grounds, but as long as
Senators and Representatives are go
ing to have "cold tea" when they
want it, would it be wise to offer a
new incentive for absenteeism in Con-
giesB by banishing the saloons beyond
the Capitol walls?
The Newkirk Republican, as the
name indicates, is a republican papei
It thinks the national republican con-
vention should not be askeu or expect-
ed to endorse free silver; that due dif-
ference to the last should be paid in
their resolutions. Just so. That is
just what the republican convention
will do. Difference to the east the
money power will be duly paid, and
the little torch bearers will follow the
band wagon. But the masses of the
American people want free silver
The masses are not torch bearers, nor
will they next year follow the gold
band wagon. Hear?
It is unnecessary to say that the
United States Investor is a gold stand-
ard advocate of the'yellowest stripe
It is published in the great money
center. It treats of nothing butmouey
bonds and corporate investments. It
says editorially in issue of June29 that
the west depends upon the east foi its
monev: this is true. It declares that
money will be kept from coming west
until the silver agitation ceases; this
is a threat direct and pointed, and
,m doubt prove true to the extent of
the money power is able to subjugate
the people. It says the east has under
gone too many years of hard financier-
ing to lend her wealth or permit it to
co west as long as there is a possibili-
ty of being compelled to receive silvei
back; this is also a threat which no
doubt the money power will make a
death struggle to carry out. The In-
vestor but voices the intention of the
money power, subjugation to her will
There you have it. Who is it cries out
arraying one section against another?
If the eastern gold press is not by such
meant threats arranged itself against
the west, then what do you call it.

Oklahoma has passed through sev-
eial hard knocks since its orgauzation
as a territory, but when we look with
pride to an accumulated tax property
of nearly 87 million dollars, exclusive
of the railroads, we realize that this
territory is remarkable, and it removes
all doubt concerning the future ol Ok
lahoma.
Tiik killing of liegister Patterson
and Marshal Williams was one of
those sequences which so often follow
senatioual journalism. Mr. Isenberg s
strictures on the personal character of
Patterson were covered, no name be-
ing given,and was not nearly so seveie
as daily appear in public print. lie is
theiefore no more conserable than the
ordinary so-called trenchant writer,
lie simply pricked the too line sensi-
bilities of a high stung man, the high
strung man simply sought to applease
his wounded feelings by Killing an
editor,and met death instead. Marshal
Williams simply fell a victim to the
wrath and uncontrolable sensibilities
of one who set too high a gauge on his
prerogatives as a gentleman. The
whole affair is deplorable, and Mr
Isenberg is no more conserable than
almost every other editor in the land
at times lays himself liable. Some of
the rival papers and those over-friend-
ly to the unfortunate Patterson,
their vindictive and viciously personal
arraignment of Isenberg go even
farther than he dared venture in the
line of slanderous journalism, instead
of holding up the Indiscreet editor's
career as a lesson, they augment the
theme of that sensationalism which
invites tragedy.

Very large white pearl buttons are
much used on light cloth gowns, and
some very beautiful specimens are
'overlaid with net work of silver or
even of gold. The ornamental but

covered with cloth and feel that she is
in good taste. In this case they are
used as a finish to bias folds that trim
