The Santa Fe R. R. company has
removed the lion from all its sta-
tionery and the American eagle will
take its place. The Populists raised
a kick against the lion because it
was too suggestive of English tyran-
ny and the company out of defer-
ence to the wishes of the Populists
discarded the use of the lion.
I.. N. Wise has an article in this
paper which contains good sugges-
tions on changes in the present
school law. Mr. Wise is one of the
leading birchwielders in this county
and his head is full of good, prac-
fical ideas on school work and the
needed changes that should be
made in the present school law.
Governor Renfrow's message to
the 4th legislative assembly was one
of the best ever issued in the terri-
tory and contains many valuable
suggestions to the legislators as to
laws the territory stands in great
need of, many of which the 3d as-
sembly made a heroic effort to en-
act; but failed becau.se of an indus-
trious lobby.
Will the ediror of the State Dem-
ocrat inform an anxious public why
the first bill he submitted for print-
ing delinquent tax list was cut down
from #309 to ?ri6—the latter being
the commissioners' allowance?
Were you defrauded out of $193 by
the board, or did the commissioners
prevent you from extracting from
the treasury J193 to which you
were not entitled?
It begins to look liks the govern
nient will have the Pacific railroads
on its hands by virtue of foreclos-
ure. The railroad systems of this
country better see to it that this
does not occur for it will hasten the
day when this government will owti
and . operate all the roads in the
country and our railroad magnates
will be men of the past. If the gov-
ernment ever gets hold of a system
of railroads like the Pacific it will
quickly demonstrate to the people
of this country the wisdom of gov-
ernment ownership of our railroads.
It begins to look as though the
free homes bill as amended and
passed by the senate will be accept
ed by the house. If it does, the re-
sponsibility of defeating the meas
ure will rest with President Cleve- i
land. Flynn is fighting for the
measure as he never fought before
for he realizes that he steps down
and out of public life, perhaps fir
all time to come unless he gets that
measure through before the 4th of
next March. The defeat the people
gave him last fall has everlastingly
caused him to get a hustle on him-
self to try and reinstate himself be-
fore it is forever too late.
President-elect McKinley is find
ing it a difficult task to find states
men that will accept a position in
his cabinet not that such material is
scarce in the Republican party; but
for the reason that statesmen who
have future political aspiration, have
acumen enough to see that a cab-
inet position under McKinley means
political death. Statesmen of the
John Sherman stripe are about the
only class that will accept cabinet
positions under McKinley and with
such men at the head of affairs in
this country for the next four years
McKinley wi'.l retire at the end of
his term about as revered and re-
spected as Grover retires the 4th of
March next.
Council bill 14, relating to clerks
for the legislature, has proved a jo-
nah that the legislators have never
been able to get in shape so that
both houses could swallow it in the
same form; nor have conference
committtees been able to fix it up
so that it would be acceptable to
both houses, and at this writing it
is very much in evidence. The last
legislature had clerks so numerous
that they could not keep out
of each other's way and the
Populist members, as a last resort,1
to curtail the number eotreated the
Republican members that before
they appointed any inore that they
rent the opera house for the ac-
commodation of their clerks. This
mor* by the Populists deterred fur-
ther appointments by the body; but
then the president of the last coun-
cil exercised unusually expansive
powers or some one else and clerks
that body had to a fare-yon-well,
male and fem#le, tried and true.
Later.—Last Wednesday the above
bill was finally disposed of and the
wrangle is ended so far as that bill
is concerned. As passed the hill
provides for 2 reading clerks, 4 as-
sistant clerks, 15 committee clerks,
20 enrolling clerks, 4 assistant ser
geants-at arms, 4 janitors, 10 pages
and 2 private secretaries, at a total
cost of I168 per day. The mem-
bers of the assembly draw J160 per
day for their services.
The Republican papers of the j
territory are trying to outdo each j
other in the matter of flattery for
Dennis Flynn and for them to tell it
no one in congress save Dennis was
interested in the free homes bill.
As a matter of fact the only mate-
rial opposition the bill had was
made by Republicans, and the
strong champions of the measure
were Populists and Republicans
like Teller who had bolted the Re-
publican party. Senator Piatt, Re-
publican, of Connecticut, was the
leading opponent < f the bill and lie
gave the following reasons for op-
posing it—
"He contended because the gov-
ernment bought the lands that the
settlers should pay the money back
to the government dollar for dollar
or leave their homes. He expressed
great apprehension that by continu-
ing the principle of the homestead
laws to lands bought of Indians ac-
cording to the established policy of j
the government there would be such
special privileges as would make
the pioneer settlers dishonest.
He was opposed to persons coming
to the government for relief because
their business would not pay."
Senator Stewart, Populist, of Ne-
vada, in reply called the senate's at-1
tention "to the army V>f manufac-
turers of the northeast crowding the
corridors of the capitol and be- j
seeching the house ways and means 1
committee to raise the tariff and
shut out foreign goods because their
business was not sufficiently remun I
erative. He reminded the senate
that the wise policy of the govern
ment in giving the settlers homes in
the Mississippi valley and the far1
west bad built up great states and
furnished a market to the eastern j
manufacturers, and thereby benefit-
ted the east as well as the west. Hej
thought it unreasonable for the sen- |
ator from Connecticut while he was
asking of the government protection
for manufacturers to deny to set- ,
tiers upon the arid or semi-arid belt;
the privileges which had been free-
ly extended in the rich and fertile
plains of the great Mississippi val-
ley. It is believed when the sena-
tors of the east realize what it
means to make an exception against
the pioneer who may hereafter at
tempt to make homes in the arid re-
gions, they will hardly feel at liberty
to pursue the harsh policy indicated
by some senators in the debate."
Stewart's reply cut the nutmeg
statesman off at the hip-pockets and
Senator Teller roasted him. to a
queen's taste on the same line. We
merely cite the above to show our .
readers that the homesteaders in
Oklahoma 'nave friends in congress
other than Dennis Flynn.
ST. PAUL'S ROCKS.
A Submarine Mountain In the Middle of
the Atlantic Ocean.
Almost at the very renter of the At-
lantic ocean—only a trifle north of the
equator and about half way between
feontli America and Africa—is a sub-
marine mountain so high that, in spite
of the immense depth of the sea, it
thrusts its peuk 70 feet above the waves.
This peak, startling from i!B position,
forms a labyrinth of islets, the whole
not over half a mile in circumference,
known as St. Paul's rocks. So steep is
j the mountain, of which this lonely rest-
ing place of sea birds is the summit, that
! one mile from these rocks a 500 fathom
line with which soundings were at-
tempted by Koss 011 his voyage to the
Antarctic failed to touch bottom.
Were the bed of the sea to be suddenly
elevated to a level with the dry Innd,
St. Paul's rocks would be the cloud
capped peak of a mountain rising in
sheer ascent in the midst of a broad
pisin. Tney r «unpn«<a iirnais w n ■
formed by 'tie same disturbance cf na-
ture which separat d the Cape Verde is-
lands from Afiiru.
Treat-beroM currents make navigation
in the vicinity ti tIk rocks dangerous.
A Brazilian naval officer, who passed
them 1 u an Kuglish steamer, tells me '
t hat the eti ning l f' re they expected to '
sight them be was told by the captain ,
that at & o'clock in the morning they
would appear aliont five nnles west. At (
that hour the officer went on deck and
looked to the wistward—nothing but an
expanse cf heaving sea. He chanced to
tom, and there, live miles to the east-
ward were—the rocks. Tim currents
bad, in lts than 13 hours, carried a
full powered steamer ten miles out of I
her course.—liustav Kobba 111 St. Nieh- !

Maunlng anil the Je«uit«.
Edmund ti. Purcell, who wrote the
biography of Cardinal Manning that
was so widely discussed and in some
quarters condemned, -wrote a paper for
The Nineteenth Century entitled "On
the Ethics of Suppression Iu Biogra-
phy," in which bo makes nn interesting
statement concerning Manning's rela-
tions to the Jesuits:
Cardinal Manning could not endure
—it was not in his nature—to be looked
upon by thu Jesuits as an "enemy of
vital godliness." They fell under his
ban. Metaphorically he "cursed thitn
with bell, book and candle." In a
laughing fashion their retort came
quick:
Cardinals may romp, cardinal* ma j go,
But we go on foruver.
Cardinal Manning, as is known of all
men, regarded the suppression of the
Society of Ji sus in 177!) as the work of
(iod's hand. He likewise looked upon
its restoration in 1827 as God's -work.
But his abiding hostility io the Jpguits,
based, as he declared, 011 their corporate
action in England and Home, was testi-
fied by thu pr diction which hu uitere<
011 various occasions, "I foresee another
1773."
