Ardmore Courier: Judge Woods,
of Chicago, in convicting Debs and
his associates of contempt of court
holds in ell'ect that a conspiracy of
workingmeu to restrain trade or
hinder interstate gommerce is as
much a trust as arc unlawful com-
binations of capital. The court
neglected to state, however, that
combinations of capital, while un-
lawful under present 1..ws, are
never so declared by the courts.
No trusts have yet suffered any
inconvenience from the anti-trust
law, but the courts never miss an
opportunity to slick it to the work,
ingmeu when they get a chance
In fact, it has long been the belief
of many, and the belief is con-
stantly growing, that courts arc
run in the interest of capital, while
labor, or the poor man ha>'e no
rights which capital is bound to re-
spect.

AS TO STATEHOOD.
Ardmore, I. T. Dec. 21).—A small
body of deeply interested residents
of Ardmore assembled in Whit-
tington's hall tonight to consider
the material features of the various
biils affecting the Indian Territory
now pending before the commit-
tees in Congress.
The recommendation concerning
territories by Senator Dawes, as
chairman of the Indian commis-
sion, received by far the larger
snare of attention. It was unani-
mously agreed that the present
owner of any ostensible improve-
ments upon an Indian town lot
ought to have the right to buy tho
fee of the soil from the federal
government at its value before the
town was built, without regard to
the Indian's title to the property.
A delegate was chosen at the ex-
pense of a public subscription to
attend the committee's meetings
and impress that idea upon such j
members as would listen to it,
As a matter of secondary inter- j
est it was agreed by these gentle-
men that the interests of the Chic-'
asaw nation would be best promot-1
ed by dividing into two unequal
parts and attaching the larger por-
tion and the townsites to the terri-!
tory of Oklahoma.
After adopting the report of the j
committee on resolutions without
discission, a motion to add a sec-
ond delegate to the one therein i
provided for was lost b; a rising
vote of 21 to 2">.
The political complexion of the i
territory did not come under dis-
cussion, but it was conceded by all
present that it would b^ a close
call between republicans and pop-
ulism with the Democtata not in
it. Int neat u growing in tho pro-
posed change of the lines around OKLAHOMA Is) I' \* Q A KIK ->

few interested individuals, but itjj\.i..
dots not meet with real favor
the minds of congressmen, and
there is no prospect of any such
legislation by Ibis c.r.g.ress. The
settled opinion of congress is
averse to making Oklahoma a state
at present, i'olitical considera-
tions may make that territory a
state in the next congress, just as
polities brought into the union
several years ago more than one
territory not qualified lor state-
hood. Unless an agreement en-
tered into by the senators of both
parties last session shall be ig-
nored or violated, enabling acts
for New Mexico and Arizona will
be passed at the present session.
As both of these territories went
Republican at the last election the
senators of that party perhaps will
not object to the passage of those
acts. For some years past these
two territories kept in the Demo-
cratic column, but last November
they were in the landslide tu the
other side. New Mexico and Ari-
zona may be authorized to prepare
for statehood, but Oklahoma will
have to wait awhile. The bills to
admit New Mpxico and Arizona
have passed the house and are now
in the senate.

TO ESTABLISH A BOUNDARY.
Washington, Dec. 23.—-Repre-
sentative Little, of Arkansas today
introduced a bill by request to es-
tablish a dividing line between
Oklahoma and the Indian Terri-
tory. It proposes to commence
the line at a point in the middle
af the Arkansas river, where it
crosses the south line of Kansas,
thence down tho middle of the
stream to a point where it inter-
sects the northern line of the
Creek conntrv, thence west on the
line to the northwest corner of the
Creek country, thence south on
the western line of the said Creek
country to the North Canadian
river, up this river to the north-
west corner of the Seminole coun-
try, and thence due south to the
northern boundary of Texas on
the Red river. All the territory
lying east oi said line of the 1 ndian
Territory heretofore established,
the Chickasaw nation,
which j.-.ins the present Okhhqma
tfr. the soulh .*4L-3S6 r.oiyh of JJie
Chickasaw country is taken io
make six more counties in Okla-
homa. These counties are to have
as their county seats, Purcell,
Wynnewood, Ardmore, Ryan,
Duncan and Chickasha. To pro.
vide for the i^preased fjtiga'ion
tjiis accession will bring Oklahoma
the bill gives the territorial court
another associate justice.
The motive of this action on the
part of the Oklahoma governor and
iiis Democratic friends is found in
the fact that the coveted section of
the Chickasaw nation contains a
population strongly Democratic.
Renfrow and his associates have
assured members of their party in
both branches of congress that if
they can get this addition to the
territory Oklahoma will become
safely Democratic. In conversa-
tion this evening the governor ad-
mitted that tho movement to
change the Oklahoma boundary
was not quite as promising as he
wished. He said he had found it
would be impossible to obtain a
transfer of the part of the Chicka-
saw nation until a territorial form
of government was established
over the live civilized tribes. In
the present condition of the Chick-
asaw nation it would be impossible
to divide that reservation. Tho
eastern portion would not consent
o the separation. Governor Ren-
frow and t..e Oklahoma Democrats
lane with them a large map of
their territory, which shows a very
jagged eastern boundary. They
also have a map with the proposed
boundary cutting off a section of
the Chickasaw country. The pro
posed boundary makes a beautiful
straight line. In talking to mixed
audiences Gov. Renfrow and his
friends make the comparison of
the real aud the proposed boun-
daries thesr argument. The polit-
ical reason for tho change is re-
served for Democratic senators aud
representatives.

lie appreciates it.
shall be known as the Indian Ter-
ritory, aud all the west thereof to fjjfi ReDUbliC FrCS-
the western line of Oklahoma, at,
heretofore established, shall con-
stitute the territory of Oklahoma.
The proposed line puts a pari
of the present Oklahoma in the In-
dian Territory and the Chickasaw
country is transferred to Okla-
homa. The latter feature is the I
important part of the proposed! The "Twice a-Week" ;H. Loei.s Rc-

It is proposed to divide the ter- !tu an-v person sanding, before January

into six counties, li, 8, T, U, V,
\Y, and the bill fixes the boundar-
ies of each county.

The bill also provides for an ad-
ditional associate justice to the su-
preme court of Oklahoma, who
shall be a resident of the Chicka-
saw country, which is to consti-
tute an additional judicial district
of Oklahoma. The territorial leg-
islature of Oklahoma is increased
to seventeen counciimon and thirty
four members of the house, the ad-
ditional members to be chosen
scribers, with to pay for the same.
Already the clans are gathering for
the fray in 1800, and 1895 will be full of
interesting events. The skirmish lines
will b4? thrown out, the maneuvering
done ami the plane of campaign ar-
ranged for the great contest in '00.
The remaining short cession of tho
Democratic congress, to be followed
shortly by a republican congress with a
Democrat in tho presidential chair will
be productive of events of incalculable
interest.
In fact, more political history will bo
const! ucted during 1805 than, in any
year since the foundation of the gov-
ernment, and a man without a news-
