Chief Mayes of the Cherokee Na-
tion has passed to the happy hunting
grounds.
Ten thousand Mississippi negroes
have asked the government for aid
to return to Africa.
You cau't keep John J. Ingalls
out of office, the Atchison Chamber
of Commerce elected him as their
president on the 10th instant
The political coloring of the state-
hood convention is very satisfactory
to the Dkmochat. When we get
ready for statehood, we want it to
include the entire Indian Territory.
Kansas City, Mo., is after the Na-
tional Democratic Convention. No
city west of St I.oum has ever been
honored with a National Convention
and we would like to see Kansas City
get the Convention.
The Chinese government lias offici-
ally notified the State department
that they will not make an exhibit
at the World's Fair. They cite as
their reason that the United States
have discriminated against the Em-
pire.
To be blown up once in a lifetime
is usually all a man gets but not so
in the case of John Stevenson at
Weeping Water, Neb. On his re-
turn to the ground from the first blow
up, he lit on a charge of dynamite
and took a second trip. He is weak-
er but wisor.
It is said that Hill, Brice and Gor
mail have formed a combination for
the purpose of defeating Grover
Cleveland in the coming convention.
The defeat of Mills for speaker of
the houBe has givon them much con
fidence in their ability to win in their
undertakings.
John M. Murphy, who is under in-
dictment at Oklahoma City tor per-
jury lias made an affidavit that'lie
believes Judge Clark, of that district
is prejudiced against him and that he
cannot have a fair trial in his court.
The affidavit was signed by Murphy
and his attorney, Judge Amos Green.
Judge Clark denied the motion for a
change of venue on the ground that
the law did not warrant it. Things
seem to be getting pretty warm for
Judge Clark in the third district.
The announcement of the death of
Chief Joel B. Mayes, Chief ol the
Cherokee Nation with Hon. George
B^Sington dangerously ill has thrown
the Cherokee people into a state of
excitement and berevement seldom
happening. What effect this will
have on the pending negotiations lor
the sale of the strip no one can tell,
except that & delay is certain. The
Commission is now at Taleaquah and
the negotiations will cease for the
present with the chances of the suc-
cessor of Mayes to oppose the sale
of the lands at a reasonable price,
THE CONVENTION.
The Statehood convention at Okla-
homa City, Tuesday attracted a num-
ber of the representative men from the
various counties. And contrary to
the call as well as the expectations
and desire ol the people, a memorial
to Congress was drafted. The con-
vention also selected a committee,
composed of one man from bach
county in the territory to be known
as an executive committee, whose
duty it shall be to draft an organic
act to present to congress. The call
for the convention said nothing
about a memorial to congress, nor an
organic act, and no delegate in the
convention can consistently claim to
represent his people on this latter
question. As a matter of fact the
convention was simply a liigh hand-
ed affair controlled by a lot of poli-
ticians that are anxious to grow fat
from the proceeds of the laboring
classes of Oklahoma. The conven-
tion resolved in favor ol Statehood,
but this far no gathering of farmers
or others whu depend upon honest
toil for a lu ng have resolved to
burden themse! < with taxes to sup-
port the class of politicians that con-
trolled this convention.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent)
Speaker Crisp may have made
some promises before his eleetion as
speaker—few men ever occupied
this position who had not done so
their canvass for votes, but he has
made few, if any, promises since his
election he lets the other fellows do
the talking while he does double
duty as a thinker; he knows that it
will be impossible to so airange thH
committee assignment that all tli
democratic members of the house
will be pleased, and, it those who en
joy his confidence may be relied up.
on, he will devote himself principally
to the task of making a suitable dis
tribution of the chairmanships and
places upon important committees
between the various sections of the
country, believing that no represi
tative will allow his personal disap-
pointment to make him angry when
he sees that his section is fully rep-
resented. It is now almost certain
that the lists of committees will not
be announced until after Christmas
and it is expected that speaker Crisp
will after all the members have been
given a chance to bo heard, retire
to his home in Georgia or to some
other place, Where he can devote his
time during the recess to making up
the committees.
All sorts of gossip about thechair-
tnanships and the make-up of the
important committees may be heard
but about the only thing that every-
body seems to be agreed upon is
that the Ways and Means committee
which deals with tariff matters will
bo dominated by Northern and
Western members, whoever its chair-
man may be. The general opinion
is that Mr. Mills can have the chair-
manship of this committee if he wish-
es it, but some of his close friends
say he will not take the place, sev-
eral reasons being given why he will
not; one of them being that it there
is an extra session of the Texas leg-
islatu tv in the spring he will be a
candidate for the unexpired term in
the Senate of ex-Senator Regan—
now temporarily being filled bv Sen-
ator Chilron and that if he is elected
he will resign his seat in the House.
But there are those who think that
is just the reason why he should take
the chairmanship. They argue that
for Mr. Crisp to tender this impor-
tant*place to Mr. Mills and tor him
to accept it would show that no bad
blood was left by the hot fight for
the nomination, and that the commit-
tee could be so made up that the
next democrat on the committee
could from the first take up the hard
work of the chairman and that in
the event of the election of Mr. Mills
to the Senate this gentleman might
be made chairman.
Resolutions providing for an in-
vestigation of the Pension office
will shortly be offered in the House
by representative Cooper, of Indiana
and Enlo, of Tennessee. The latter
gentleman says that his resolution
will be for an investigation of the
methods used ami is intended to
save some ot the tax payers money
that now goes through leaks which
he thinks are in the machine. Mr.
Cooper is particularity interested in
going for Gen. Raum, he being of
the opinion that the investigation by
the last congress was not as impar-
tial as it might have been. Both
resolutions will not be adopted, but
the probabilities favor the adoption
of a resolution that will be accep-1
table to both gentlemen.
Gen. Forney, of Alabama, who
was the senior democratic member
of the House committee on appro-
priations in the last Congress, has,
on account of his age and somewhat
failing health declined the chairman-
ship of that committee, which was
tendered him by speaker Crisp. It
is believed here that representative
Ilolman, of Indiana, will, in the in-
terest of general retrenchment in ap-
propriations, be put at the head of
that committee.
Speaker Crisp pleased those mem-
bers whe wished to get the cash for
their mileage before Christmas by
announcing at the short session of
the House held on Saturday, pre-
vevous to the adjournment until
Wednesday, the membership of
committee on Acconnts and that on
mileage, as follows: Accounts, Rusk
(Md), Cooper (Ind.), Dickerson(Ky.)
Moses, (S. C.), Seerly, (Iowa), Pear-
son, (Ohio), Quackenbush, (X. Y.)f
Griswold, (Pa.) and Cutting, (Cal.)
Mileage—Castle, (Minn.), Crawford,
(N. C.), Kendall, (Ky.), Caldwell,
(Ohio), and Flick, (Iowa).
Representative Culbcrtson, of
Texas, one of the best fitted men
in public life for the position, has
decided to accept the democratic
vacancy on the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which Mr. Harrison
tendered bun some time ago. His
nomination will go to the Senate at
once, and he will forward his resig-
nation of his seat in the Hou^e to
the Governor of Texas.
It was rumored that some of the
republican Senators proposed taking
steps to have the'Senate declare Sen-
ator Hill's seat vacant, because of
his not having appeared to be sworn
in and of his retaining the office of
Governor of New York, but the
most diligent inquiry failed to con-
firm the story.

GliAND BALL.
The ball to be given on Christmas
night promises to bo one of grand
success. Every one is cordially in
vited to attend and spend a pleasant
evening. In connection there will
be card tables, so those who do not
desire to dance can find other amuse-
ments. Go, and thus help Canadian
county in making an exhibit.
Mr. H. F. Whitley, the well known
capitalist, is in the city After doing
so much toward the building up of
Guthrie and Oklahoma City, Mr.
Whitley is now engaged in helping
the groth and prosperity of El Reno
by putting up some substantial brick
blocks which will add considerably
to that enterprising city's appearance.
It does not signify, howeyer, that Mr.
Whitley's operations in Kl Reno
mean that he is dissatisfied with his
Oklahoma City investment. On the
contrary he has the greatest confi-
dence in this city's future and he will
no doubt increase his holdings here.
