Onk of the greatest meeting! of
the year is the silver convention at
Memphis, Tenn., this week. It is
estimated Unit 2,000 delegates will
be m attendance.
It' the rains continue to fall iu
Kansas the Wichita Eagle will get
the "swell-head" again. Then Ralph
Kasley will have to come back to
Hutchinson and write another April
Fool story.
The great fear of the populists ■
now is tiiut a free silver party may j
be organized. Of course in such
event they would lose a great deal of'
their thunder which they now accuse
tbe Republican and Democratic par
ties of trying to steal every time an
expression favoring tbe white metal
is made. It is too bad, according
to a populist's view, that any one j
else should dare think of money with-
out their sanction and consent.

If this wet weather keeps up all
the pop votes will be drowned out.
Base ball teams are playing teeter
-—first one is up and then another.
Theiik's nothing like a variety in
weather and Oklahoma always gets
it.
The associated press liar is getting

ma.
In eastern Colorado it is said no
rain has fallen for a period of nearly

they lire none the less welcome.

The first ear of 1895 wheat was re-
ceived in St. Louis on Friday. It
was shipped from Coffeyville, Kan.,
graded No. 2 red, and tbe premium
price received for it was !••> cents

The Dawes commission do not
seem to he making much headway in
their work of treating with the In-
dians, They have been in the field
some time and so far no report has
been made public.
Oi n populist friends are in a bad
lix. Their standard bearer, the head
of their party—<icn. Weaver—has
dropped off, and balance of the party
like a decapitated dog goes wander-
ing aimlessly about, having lost its
thinking apparatus.
An estimate showing the probable
strength of the various republican
candidates for the presidency, recent-
ly published in the New York Com-
mercial Adyertiser, gives Harrison
134, McKiuley 300, Reed ICS,
Allison 70, Lincoln 86, Morton 72,
Hastings 64.
The Indian Journal published at
Eufaula, I. T., devotes almost all of
its front page trying to convince the
Purcell Register that the editor of the
Journal is not working for a large
corporation of Creek land monopolists
and that the Indian country would
not be better if it was opened tip to
settlement.
At.L the Indians in the western
part of the Territory are climbing the
hill—not Z ion's Hill, but the bills
along the Washita river to keep from
being washed away, as they claim
that a great Hood is to visit this coun-
try soon. Just bow tile Indian fore-
tells floods and storms we do not
know unless be is like a bog and tells
bv instinct.
It is laughable to read in eastern
papers 'Mlow the Silver Movement
in the west is dying out." If some
of those bloaks in the east who ac-
quired their wealth by inberiteueej
and clipping mortgage coupons, and
who were never farther away from
home than their state capital, would
take a little jaunt out west and shake i
the gold dust otf their eye-lids, they
would learn more than they would j
by reading gold-bug papers for a|
thousand years.

It is too late now to plant cotton
in Oklahoma but there is a great

There is said to be considerable
glitter if not gold in that Wichita
mountain find that the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe people are so crazy about.

What are the pops going to do
now their mainstay, Gen. J. B. \S eav-
er, threatens to leave them? lie fa-
vors, so he says, any state ticket
favoring the free and unlimited coin-
age of silver and it is well known
that the average populist would rath-
er see disaster overtake the world
than the free silver movement en-
hanced except l>v populistic means
and measures.
The many wild reports about find-
ing gold in Western Oklahoma has
created great excitement among the
people in many vicinities but, so far
as we can learn, there is no occasion
as yet to believe that the reports are
anything like conservative or
probable. Doubtless the W ichita
mountains do contain precious netals
but whether accessable iu paying
quantities or not, is quite another
thing.
The silver convention at Memphis ,
this week will show that the senti-1
menl is cot dying out in the west as
the eastern gold-bugs claim, but on ^
the contrary, is increasing rapidly as
the people become better educated j
,iu the mutter. The state of affairs
i i„ this country has reached a point!
The Oklahoma man who i the where it become neceessary for every
fatberof 17 children—one boy and citizen to do some thinking for him-1
sixteen girls—must be a silver man self and the agitation on the silver
