HOT THE FAULT OF TUK GOVERNOR
The determination of the adminis-
tration to fill up the various regiments
already organized and in the field
be a big saving to the government, not
only in a monetary sense, but in the
efficiency and strength of the army, as
it will obviate the necessity of appoint-
ing an array of new officers whose sal-
aries maka an enormous hole in the
annual appropriations.
A colonel's salary isS3500; lieut.-col.,
93000; two maj >rs, S2500each, or $MM)0;
twelve captains, each, 1180, or 121,600;
fifteen first lieutenants, each, 1170, or
$22,500; twelve 2nd lieutenants, each,
|140, or 10,800; oue surgeon, $2500; two
assistant surgeons, each, $180, cr $3600:
and one chaplain, $1800, or a total of
$80,200.
Nearly this entire sum per regiment
would be saved if, as it is proposed, the
troops called for under the second call
are used for the purpose of filling up
the regimcuts to their muximum of
1326, as provided for under the reor-
ganization act.
It is accep ed at the war department
that it was not the fault of the gover
nors that the regiments were not com-
pleted up to the muximum under the
first call, as they must according to the
figures given them by the adjutant-
general, which fixed 1026 as the maxi-
mum strength of infantry, which was
300 less than the law intended. Under
the reorganization of the volunteer
army the maximum strength is as fol-
lows : company of iufantry, 81 en-
listed; troop of cavalry, 81 enlisted ;
heavy battery of artillery, 146 enlisted;
light battery of artillery, 121 en
listed.
The pressure is so strong upon the
governors for raising new regiments
under the second call that they are
likely to meet with some difficulty in
securing the men required to complete
the regiments already in the field,
under the first call, to the maximum
strength of 1326 men.
SHALL THKHK HE A FUSION OF THE
SlI.t'ER FORCES f
The really sensible thing to do in
the approaching political campaign is
for the democrats, populists and silver
republicans to come together on a
platform with just three plants in it.
Free and indpendent coinage of silver,
patriotic support of the government in
the war with Spain, honest aud eco
nomical administration of govern-
mental affairs for our territory, which
latter plank includes low taxes.
Neither the democratic party as a
party, or the populist party as a party,
can suffer the slightest injury on the
score of party integrity or political
organization by uniting on a free silver
ticket upon such a platform, and no-
thing but selfish hopes of political
aggrandizement can operate to offer
the slightest objection to such an af-
filiation of the opposition to republi-
canism and the gold standard party.
Of course these remarks ere made
upon the idea that perfect fairness
will prevail in the division of favors,
in the distribution of the offices be-
tween the old parties. Less than this
would be unsatisfactory. Less than
this would drive hundreds away from
the free silver party, or cause a luke-
warmncss in the support of the ticket
and the free silver cause, both unde-
sirable and unfortunate.
The convention will soon meet and
thesuVject of fusion should be tho-
oughly canvasscd and understood be-
fore they convene.
OVER THE TERRITORY.
The Woodward Bulletin asks Its sub-
scribers to smoke the Cuban Star and
burn the Spanish Flag.
A man who talked for the Spaniards
at PoLd Creek was shelled to a frazzle
— with eggs.
J. W. Johnson, who lived near Jef
ferson, died suddenly of what was
said to be heart disease. Now it is
suspected that he was poisoned, and
the body has been exhumed for a
chemical examination at the Kansas
university. His wife left Oklahoma a
few days after her husband's death.
A A. Christ of Hennessey exhibited
several stalks of "Lost Freight'' wheat
which measured five feet and four
inches in length. He has thirty acres
like the specimen.
Kingfisher Free Press. — On last
Saturday forty-two wagon loads of
wheat came struggling into town in
one line from the west and was owned
by a farmer near Orlando and was
purchased by the Oklahoma Mill Com-
pany for $101 a bushel. The wagon had
an average of a little over 50 bushels
each.
John Maine and Kmerson Hear, two
Payne county men, who knew a good
thing when they saw it, stole a barrel
of Oklahoma wine and buried it in a
corn field. The wine was confiscated
by the sheriff and the tipplers are in
jail.
The Tecumseh railway will build a
depot at its junction with the Choctaw
and regular traffic arrangements will
exist between the two railways The
Tecumseh train will begin running
June 1st. The cost of operating the
famous "Lillian Russell" will be re-
duced one-half. Formerly, the Choc-
taw got one-third of the receipts ; now
it will gel nothing. m

Kingfisher Press. Gov. Baknks lias
appointed Harry Meade of Shawnee1
Chief of ordnance. The newspapers
(some of them) locate Harry at King,
fisher. While he severed his citizen-
hip with this town seme months ago,
we are justly proud of his recognition
as as though he had never acted so fool-
ishly. We'll bet a nickel that he wil*
be the finest looking officer on the gov-
ernor's staff, ar.d we beg pardon of
Niblack for saying so, of course.

EXPECTED TO BE A ({VEEN
Onii'iuls littve S* ut ft 168 Waite
Home From Europe.
Miss Emily Waite, whose hallucina-
tion that she is heir to the throne of
Sweeden has attracted international
attention, has been returned to her
relatives here through the department
af State at Wash.ngton. She is living,
however, at a hotel at Paul's Valley.
Miss Waite came into prominence
about two years ago at Stockholm,
Sweeden. whero she was taken Into
custody because of her strange con-
duct. The United States consul's at-
tention was called to the cas;, and he
reported it to the department of State,
from which it was referred to Indiau
Agent Wisdom, after the discovery
was made that Miss Waite was a
member of the Chickasaw tribe of
Indiaus. She was wealthy and her
iucome enabled her to indulge her de
sire for European travel. She was
well educated and strikingly hand-
some Six years ago she went with a
French family from the Pacific coast
to Paris. While there she attended a
Roman Catholic convent as a student
and learned the French language.
Later sho went to Rome and then to
Florence, Italy, keeping up all
the time a correspondence with her
relatives here, A. R. Waite being her
brother. From Florence she went to
Stockholm, where she began pressing
her claims as a lineal descendant of
Oustavus Adolphus. Iteforo letters
from her relatives at Purcell could
reach tho United States consul. Miss
Waite went to Copenhagen, w^ere she
made a similar claim to the throne of
Denmark. She was Induced to leave
Copenhagen for her home in the Uni-
ted States, under the deception that
the necessary documents by which she
could fully establish her claims were
in America. She is apparently in
good health, aud talks rationally on
all subjects except that of her right to
be a queen.

LONDON FAPBR8 COMMENT ON AN
ALLIANCE.
London, June 4—The moraine papers
commenting upon the Anglo-American
bunpuet last night, speak In the sanu* tone
of gratification.
ine Daily Telegraph says; Nothing saUi
by ttie speakerscouitl offend the suscept-
ibilities! of continental nations but there
was one evidence of the friendship which
has gaown so rapidly and that will not
end in mere boerbal protestations >f af-
fection. It would be ti mistake to force
an alliance before the time Is ripe, but
there Is an Infinity of gvod in cultivating
these sentiments of kinship which are the
forerunners of formal alliances.
The Dally Chronicle, refferlng to the
banquet as a "remarkable gathering of
men who arc forced In the modern world,"
says: "T..e dinner was the beginning of
a movement which, unless unwise words
or unforseen raise..ance should wreck It
must carry us far. It Is lm|>ortant that
all men, friends or foes, should realise
that this movement has come to stay."
The Standard says; It would he pre-
mature to spenk of nn alliance In the
sense In which eantlneninl chancellors
employ the term, but It would be an error
not les grave to deprecate the benefits
which must secure to the United states
and Great Britain from the knowledge
that they can look to each other for sym-
pathy and co-operation."
The horning Post says; "The banquet
has made n permanent addition to the
reciprocal friendship which has been de-
rived from recent events In various parts
of the world, ami while agreements on
small points, such os the Canadian and
American differences are not valuable,
on the kirge Issue treaties are not neces-
sary. The Identity of Interests of the
United States and Great Tlrltaln Is closed
the community of their traditions, and
their destiny Is splended, because It Is
Thk post office department has or-
dered that only the regular United
States postal rates shall be charged on
letters to the soldiers in the Philip-
pines and elsewhere during the war
with Spain.
IS OKLAHOMA TO GET l.KFT?
It now appears that tho war depart
ment made another mistake in appor
tioning the quotas of the states and
territories under the first call, and that
Deleware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ver-
mont, Wyoming, District of Columbia,
Arizonia, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, get more than their
share, and therefore they will not be
included in the second call.
As Oklahoma only got 85 men unJer
the first call, she seems to be in the
soup under the second call. This is
the announcement made from the ad-
jutant-general's office at Washington.
Thk war put a tax of 25 percent on
bread, the cost of a loaf having gone
up one cent, and the common people
pay it without grumbling, but the cor
porations and trusts are kicking be
cause they arc asked to pay one quar-
ter of one per cent of their gross re-
ceipts.
Thk Cloud Chief Herald Sentinel has
recently made the wonderful discovery
that the great ability of our American
Republic is due to the fact that a large
percent of our citizens are honest and
intelligent. The Herald Sentinel will
doubtless soon apply for a patent on its
discovery.
Qknkkai. Whkatkiki.d will be in the

Some of the Republicans in the lower
House begin to complain that the Tom
Reed bit is getting to be a little gal-
ling.
Thk Times Journal says, not a pound
of fiour manufactured outside of the
county is sold in Oklahoma City. The
Oklahoma City people must be open to
the charge of selfishness, or else they
are extremely economical in the use of
flour bread.
Tub Enid Wave, so the Oklahoman
says, is authority for the statement
that Coal Oil Inspector Ewing recom-
mends boiling the coal oil to get the
water t ut of it.
Likut. Richmond P. Hobson's exploit
with the collier Merrimac pales into
the shade any naval act of heroism re-
corded in the histories of the navies of
the world, and as has been suggested,
no name can be written higher on
war's temple of fame than his.
To Take Unto HiiiiNoll u( li icatro
Stenographer.
Forrest McKinley, ion of Receiver
McKinley, of the Itind office in this
city, will be married the last of this
month to Miss May Smith, of Chicago.
Mr. McKinley was asked about the
coming nuptials by Thk Lkadkk three
weeks ago, but be refused to speak of
the matter. From a Chicago paper the
following is taken :
"A Chicago girl will very shDrtly be
come a member of the McKinley fam
lly. Miss May C. Smith, the pretty
brown-eyed stenographer of the law
firm of Croarkin & O'Donnell, suite 408
Ashland block, will wed Forrest Mc
Kinley, cousin of Presideht McKinley.
The marriage will be celebrated about
JuBe 1, at the residence of the bride's
parents, 421 Washington boulevard.
" Forrest McKinley is special land
agent at Guthrie, O. T , where hi6
father, James McKinley, is special
United States land commissioner. Mr.
McKinley met his future bride in Chi
cago two years ago, while en route to
take the position given him by the
president. A coincidence of the young
people's acquaintance is the fact that
Miss Smith was introduced to Mr. Mc
Kinley by his father. It was love at
first sight, and Mr. McKinley was a
frequent caller during business hours
at the law office where his fiance was
employed, and many were the surmises
as to the identity of the young blonde
fellow who so frequently dropped In to
have a chat with the pret*y stenog-
rapher.
"After Mr. McKinley wenttoGuthrle
he corresponded with Miss Smith so
regularly that she had to tip the post-
man quite heavily at New Year's, to
sty nothing of the quizzing of the
people in the office which she was
forced to endure. It is reported that
the young people have been invited t
spend their honeymoon at the White
House as the guests of President and
Mrs. McKinley."

Whkn our young men buck'e on Un-

get that the old gentleman has laid
down a set of rules which he rigidly
enforces. These rules may seem harsh
and exacting, but the old fellow ex-
pects and enforces obedience to them
and no questions asked. These rules
and regulations embrace quite a long
list of crimes and punishments, reach-
ing from reprimand, extra guard duty
ttuspeusion, imprisonment and the
death penalty, the latter generally
confined to limes of actual war,
among which of most important to
young soldiers is "sleeping on post"
in an enemy's country, or in the face
of the enemy, or desertion in the face
of the enemy.
Thk Standard oil company paid in

defies the power of the government to
levy a tax upon its gross business for
the purpose of raising revenue to pros

ish Croesus would rather see our armies
and tleets annihilated and destroyed
by Spain than to contribute the i mail
pittance of one-quarter of one percent
upon its gross receipts to sustain the
