is that she should have so long re-
mained a wild and comparatively un-
known region and yet so accessable
and so Immeasurable in her possibili-
ties. A verstable empire in area,
abounding in every element essential
to pre-eminence in so many features,
it is Indeed strange that she should
.have remained untouched byjlndustry
and her resources lain dormant until
.actually forced open to the touch of
.husbandry by ajped intrusion of the
homeless, who had no other place on
ihe globe to go.
Lying directly in the path of emi-
gration which for a quarter of a cen-
tury bad been crowded from surtleted
states on the north to the barren,
desolated and unproductive wastes of
counrtie.s south of her, Oklahoma
served only as a thoroughfare, practi-
cally uuknown and uncovered. It is
true that venturing spirits like Paynr
pushed doubtful excursions into herj
vastness. but they were as speediy
driven back as adventurers who hoped ,
to thrive from the folly of those who >
should be deceived by hi* fabulous i
schemes.

A FOOLISH PROPOSITION.
The campaign of the Republican
party for the Presidential contest of
1896 has been predicted on a false
j basis. The National league, which
! will be held iii Cleveland, Ohio, in
AND I June, states that "the utter failure
of the Democratic administration in
' its management of both foreign and
; domestic affairs has created national
j distrust, general paralysis in business
and driven capital from the factories
aud labor into the streets, reduced the
revenues of the government and in-
creased its bonded indebtedness."
| Upon that misstatement of tacts the
claims of the Republican party for i
restoration to power are based. It is ■
an appeal to the Ignorance and cred-
ulity of the people rather than to
their intelligence and good sense. j
YY'hen President Harrison was in-
augurated in 1889 the industrial con-
dition of the country was healthful
satisfactory. The obligations of the
government had been anticpated, and |
| there w:t« a surplus In the treasury of1
j more than $100,000,000. The revenues
j were redundant, and the fagaclty of
the statesmanship was taxed to dis-
cover a means of reducing them with-
out disturbing tlie industrial prosper-
ity. A year later the McKlnley law
was enacted, and the conditions im-
mediately changed. The revenues
I fell off, iind in Jess than two years the
surplus was exhausted, and when Mr.
I Harrison's term of office had expired
| the treasury was bankrupt, more than
11100,000,000 of claims against the gov-
ernment were overdue but unpaid and
the people were exhausted in resources
and broken in hopes by the excessive
taxes which had been dtawn from
them.
The industrial paralysis set in as
early as the last half of 1891, and cul-
minated in the bread riots at Home-
stead in July, 1892. Thousands of
nearly starving people arose against
the cruel oppression of a tariff pamp-
ered monopoly, and were shot down
like beasts of prey by ruffians hired
! for the purpose as a penalty for thoir
! temerity. Following thiscrnel resist-
jance of a Just demand, other Indus-
! trial establishments, all protected by
the robber tariff, put out their tires
and stopped the motion of their ma-
chinery rather than pay labor a just
ward for its service. These are the
circumstances and conditions which
brought about the business paralysis
which culminated in 1893, while the
McKlnley law was still in force, In the
dlsasterous panic from which the
country Is now, thanks to the chang-
ed economic laws, slowly but surely
recovering.
That the Democratic administra-
tion lias increased the bonded indebt-
edness is true. But why did they do
this thing? It was iq order to pre-
serve the credit, and maintain the
honor of the government and the peo-
ple, in jeopardy, if not entiroly sacri-
ficed. by the vicious legislation and
fault\ administration of the Republi-
can party. The McKlnley law still in
force left the revenues deficient, not-
withstanding the economies intro-
duced in every department of the gov-
ernment, and there was no recourse
but to sell bonds. The attempt to re-
peal the ruinous law was resisted,
though the crisis was known to be
_ „ approaching until dishonor cast its

But since the improved economic

Among other attractive features of
the exhibit of the United States B'lsh
Commission at the Cotton States and
International Exposition the scientific
investigations of the Commission will
be illustrated by casts of flsh and
other animals from life, and by col-
lections of sponges, oysters aud other
shell tlsh, crabs, lobsters and shrimps,
corals, sea lilies, sea pens and num-
erous other materials brought up iu
the dredging and trawling apparatus
by the vessels of the Commission.
The apparatus used in the collection
of these objects will also be shown, as
well as the complicated instruments
accessory to the work of deep sea and
inland investigation. In the Division
of Methods and Statistics of the fish-
eries, the relation of the Commission
to the fisheries will be shown by
means of typos of vessels and other
equipment employed, and by charts
and tables showing the extent of the
Industry In the United States. The
Commission has a great wealth of
huudsotuc pictures intended to beau-
tify and round out Its exhibit, and of
these as many as the space will accom
modate will be shown at Atlanta.

A IIAltll FACT.
The fact Is that It is getting about

the hardest worked and poorest paid

no place is it more applicable than to

ted (?) legislature should be especially
well remembered in that way when
they come up for a second pelce of po-

By the election of Mr. Holland as
mayor of our city, the people have
made a good choice. Mr. Holland
posessea the necessary business quali-

TIME CIIAHUES ALL THINGS.
At the city election one year ago In
Perry three distinct political tickets
were in the field—Democrat, Republi-
can and Populist. On the Populist
ticket was George Purcell for city
clerk who was also the Republican
nominee. The total Populist vote for
the head of the ticket was forty-six,
yet enough votes were cast by the
Populists to ensure the defeat of the
Dcuiocratio ticket and a victory for
the Republicans. While the Populists
have been and are today a hopeless
minority they seem to have been gen-
erals enough to capture the en-
tire city administration in the re-
cent election. This can only be at-
tributed to Democratic cowardice
and Republican wholesale extrava-
gance. While this election can be
considered neither as a Populist nor
a Democratic victory neither was It
a Republican defeat, but as it stands
the Sentinel hopes it will bear good
fruit aud stand ttriu for the best In-
terests of Perry.

OL'lt BRAVE (1) DEFENOERS.
On Saturday night a "bad man"
from some where near lted itock came
to Perry and after imbiding a supply
of fire water undertook to paint the
the town a brilliant scarlet and began
by riding his horse at full gallop down
the sidewalk from the postofflce to the
Palace meat market. The side walk
was crowded with people who scatter-
ed in every direction while the lone
horseman and his bravo (?) pursurcrs
(who kept a safo distance behind him)
passed like a Hash. They pursued
him to the extreme edge of the side-
walk and then returned with flashing
guns and a sense of relelf, to regale the
crowd of Indignant people some of
whom had narrowly escaped with
their lives—with blood curdling ac-
counts of what they would have done
if thoy had caught him. The fact
such lawless acts arc allowed to go
unpunished is a blot upon the fair
fame of Perry and there is 110 word of
censure severe enough for the so
called guardians of the peace whoso
lack of nerve is their chelf character-
istic. If the police force of Perry col-
lectively or individually is not capable
of suppressing these toughs and row-
dies whose recklessness endangers the
safety of peaceful law abiding citiieus,
it wow U'lter to remove them to posi-
tions where they will not be so con-
stantly reduced *0 such dire extremi-
ties to insure their personal safety at
any ©oat*-and supply their places with
men to whom their sworn duty Is a
sacred obligation to which all other
matters are secondary.
