President Johnson earned for him-
self yesterday afternoon the everlast-
ing gratitude of every country pub-
lisher and owners of small job offices,
by his opposition to an amendment to
C. B. No. 24 which provided that all
county printing supplies, such as blank
books, plats, blanks and stationery
should be furnished by the lowest bid-
der. The effect of such an amendment
would practically debar the smaller
printing offices from securing any of
the county printing, ty reason of not
being able to compete with the big
printing establishments of Topeka and
Wichita, which with their complete
plants and large capital could put in
bids at prices not much larger than
the average Oklahoma printer pays
for the blank paper, and consequently
could "gobble up" every dollar's worth
of printing in sight. The bill provid-
ing for the time and manner of county
commissioners holding sessions and
letting contracts was under considera
tion in the committee of the whole
when the amendment referred to was
submitted by the committee on judiei
arv. It seemed that all the members
were in favor of the proposition until
Mr. .Johnson, who seemed to compre
hend its full scope, made one of his
characteristically eloquent speeches in
favor of what he termed the protec
tion of one of the infant industries of
Oklahoma—the printing establish'
ment. He admitted the possibility of
the counties paying a few more dollars
for their blanks and stationery, but it
would be better to do this than to per-
mit the struggling country newspapers
to be crushed by the big outside con
cerns with which they could not pos-
sibly compete in prices. So forcibly
and in such a convincing manner did
the eloquont member from Oklahoma
county present the cause of the printer
that the committee rejected the amend-
ment by a unanimous vote.
C. B. No. 24, the bill referred to
above, amends sections 5, 7, l'J and 31
of article 9, chapter 22, statutes of Ok-
lahoma 1893. The amendments especi-
ally provide that the board of county
commissioners shall meet at regular
quarterly periods and shall remain m
session not more than live days during
each term in counties of less than
10,000 population, and not more than
eight days in counties of more than
Hi,000 population. Called sessions are
limited to one day's duration four
time a year, in addition to the special
sessions for equalizing assessments and
levying taxes as now provided by
statute. Accounts against the county
must be filed with the county clerk
five days before the meeting of the
county commissioners, which shall be
regularly numbered in order of filing
and placed on a calender for public in-
spection and convenience. When any
allowance, either in whole or in part,
is made unon any claim and is accept-
ed by the person making the claim,
such allowance shall be a full settle-
ment of the claim. In the matter of
letting bridge contracts all bids must
be based upon plans and specifications
on file in the county clerk's office and
board of county commissioners shall
consider no bids based upon any other
plans and specifications. Contracts
must be awarded while the commis-
sioners are in public session. Another
amendment prohibits the sale of pub-
lic grounds or lands in excess of S.iOO
without first submitting the question
to a vote of the people of the country.
Vnder the present bill counties will
be liable for blanks used by probate
judges, justices of the peace and con-
stables in civil cases, from which they
are exempt under the statutes.
The board of regents of the territor-
ial university, consisting of J. «•
Wheeler, J. 1>. Maguire, J. H. Maxey,
W R. Swartout and John 1 Dille, anil
President Boyd, of the university, are
in the city and were in conference last
night with the Governor. It is the
purpose of the regents by legislative
enactment to bond the present indebt-
edness of the university, about 810,000
in round figures, which, if done, the
regents claim, will place the univer-
sity on a cash basis, whereas its war-
rants now sell at 90 cents on the do -
lar. The yearly expenses of the uni-
versity are about $12,000, and the esti-
mated income from all sources is about
$1:1,000, of which about $6,000 is deriv-
ed from school land leases.
Introduction of Bills.
The following hills were introduced
by Mr. DeBois:
C, B. No. 46, relating to the terri-
torial treasurer, county treasurers and
treasurers of other muncipalities, re-
quiring them to deposit the public
funds with banks or banking institu-
tions on the daily deposit plan.
C. B. No. 47, authorizing the incor-
poration any governing of insurance
companies doing business in Oklahoma
territory, and repealing article 11 of
chapter IS, statutes of 1890. of Okla-
homa territory.
C. 11. No. 48, to amend section 2, ar-
ticle 1, of chapter 11, of the session
laws of 1895 of Oklahoma territory. en-
titled "an act to amend sections and
47 of article 3. chapter 14, statutes of
Oklahoma, entitled "cities of the
tirst class.'"
C. B, No. 40, amending section 2, ar
ticle 1, chapter l'J, of the statutes of
1893, of Oklahoma territory, rela^ng
to court stenographers for the district
court.
C. B. No 50, amending section 7,
.32591 of chapter 51, of the statutes of
Oklahoma of 1893, relating to the tak-
ng of mortgages and foreclosing same
upon real estate.
C. B. No. 51, to amend section 1,
general section (295) of chapter 5, of
the statutes of 1893 of Oklahoma terri-
tory, relating to assignments.
Mr. Marum sent to the clerk's desk
a communication from the secretary of
the Oklahoma Live Stock association
inviting the council to attend the third
annual convention of the association
at Woodward on the Uth and 10th of
February. By direction of the presid
ing officer the communication was
ordered spread upon the journal.
Bills Reported Favorably.
Mr. DeBois, from the committee on
judiciary reported to the council the
following bills with the recommenda-
tion that they do pass:
C. B. No. 13, by Mr. Gould, abolish-
ing the office of oil inspector.
C. B. No. 29, by Mr. Johnson,
establishing a usury law.
C. B. No. 30, by Mr. Johnson, an act
to exempt property from forced sale
The bills were ordered placed on the
calendar.
Committee of the Whole
The eounc.l then resolyed itself into
a committee of the whole.
Mr. Johnson in the chair for the con
sideration of C. B. 2s, by Mr. DeBois
providing for the time and manner of
county commissioners holding session
and letting contracts
Mr. Fisher objected to the provision
limiting the sessions of county com-
missioners to five and eight days._ He
believed it would be better to limit the
number of days for which commission-
ers could draw pay. He was distinctly
of the impression that there was such
a thing as an honest commissioner.
Mr. Marum explained that the bill
provides that the commissioners shall
be continuously in session from 9 a. in.
until 5 p. in.
Mr. Johnson was inclined to favor
the five and eight day provision of the
bill. The question of salary was a
small matter, when|the possibility of
injurious things being done at long
sessions is considered.
Chairman Jonson, of Noble, here in
terrupted that it was impossible to
conceive anything else in his county-
Mr. Brown wanted an amendment
inserted whereby public grounds and
lands to the maximum value of $2,000
might be sold for the purpose of
building court aouses and jails with-
out submitting it to a vote of the peo-
ple, and supported it in an earnest
speech, in which he referred to the
rivalry between the two towns of Te-
cumseh and Shawnee, which prevents
the construction of badly needed jail
facilities in Pottawatomie cautity.
Yesterday Afternoon Session.
11. B. No. 'JO, which was sent back
to the House to be engrossed was re-
turned to the council and passed by
that body the first thing yesterday
afternoon. The bill appropriates $:>,-
000 for the pay of officers and employ-
ees of the legislature.
C. B. No. 45, relating to the location
of a normal school at Alva, was read
the second time by title and referred
to the committee on education. Mr.
Garrison, on behalf of Mr. Marum,
who was temporarily absent, that the
bill be referred to the committee on
public lands, and in denying the re-
quest, the presiding officer laid down
the rule that upon the reading of a
bill he should insist on the prerogative
of naming the committee to which it
should be referred, but if a special
committee be desired a motion to that
effect mav be made.
Mr. Johnston, of Noble, called at-
tention to the poor ventilation of the
council room, which also came in for a
roasting by the presiding officer who
cautioned the members to guard their
health.
C. B. No. 25, was reported correctly
engrossed and placed on final passage,
eleven members voting' for it. Mr.
[.earned and Mr. Gould being absent.
Mr. Johnson deplored the state of
affairs in that county, but in justice
to the other counties of the territory
he hoped the amendment would be
voted down, which was done after
some further discussion.
By another amendment offered by
Mr. Johnson the maximum value of
public grounds allowed to be sold by
the commissioners without a vote of
the people was reduced from $2,000 to
$500, and Mr Johnson went even far-
ther by suggesting that the commis-
sioners shouid be denied all power of
handling titles.
The committee on judiciary submit-
ted an amendment that county print-
ing supplies be let to the lowest
bidder.
Mr. Johnson, of Oklahoma, opposed
the amendment in a strong plea for
the protection of territorial printing
interests against the competition of
"he big outside printing concerns aid
the amendment was unanimously voted
down.
On motion of Mr. Fisher the proviso
that the county shall not be liable for
blanks used by probate judges, jus-
tices of the peace and constables in
civil cases was stricken out.
The committee rose at 5 o clock ana

committee of the whole. Adopted. and colleagues yesterday after noon by
Tne council then went into commit-1 voting no on every motion
The silver question monopolized a
considerable portion of tlie morning
session of the council, and the debates
were by far the most interesting that
have yet occurred. For a political
body, every member of which was
elected with the distinct plwlge that
he was an out and out advocate of the
free and unlimited coinage of the
white metal at a ratio of 10 to 1, and
an uncompromising enemy and hater
of the gold plutocrats of Wall street
in New York, and Lombard street in
London, it was singular that the dis-
cussion should have been two-sided at
all. The bill on which the democrat
and pop forces promises to split is as
follows:
14Be it enactcd by the legislative as-
sembly of the territory of Oklahoma:
"Section 1. lhat from and after the
passage of this act all obligations of
debt, judgments or executions stated
in terms of dollars and to be paid] in
money if not dischargeable in United
States legpl tender notes, shall be pay-
able in either the standard silver or
gold coins authorized by the cougress
of the Jnited States. All stipulations
in the contract notwithstanding."
hearers would not deny. The oppeser
of woman's enfranchisement who is
the most inconsistent, is the democrat.
I The real, sitnon pure Jacksonian de
mocraey is the liberty of the people —
and what is that liberty? she asktd.
It is the ballot, and when it is
denied to woman it is denied to
half the people. If the gov-
erning power is concentrated in one-
half of the people, it violates that
principle of democracy. The populist
the speaker described as wanting in
chivalry in opposing the enfranchise"
ment of woman, and as being against
their time-honored doctrine of e<|ual
rights to all and special privileges to
none. The republican party claimed
to he the party of freedom and pro-
gress, she said. Woman's suffrage is
in the line of progress, and if they do
not extend the freedom of the ballot to
woman they certainly are not stand-
ing fairly and squarely in line with
their claims. "For pity 's sake," the
speaker imploringly cried, "give the
ballot to the women who pay taxes, if
you can't do anything else sirs." With
increased energy she declared that
woman suffrage is a certainty and
Oklahoma had better fall in line now
and not be at the foot of the proces-
sion.

tee of the whole. Mr. Fisher in the
chair, for the consideration of the
general order.
The tirst in oraer of consideration
was C. B. No. 13, abolishing the ollice
of coal oil inspector, but in the ab-
sence of the autlfor, Mr. Gould, the
bill was psssed over until tomorrow
The bill is intended to exempt cer-
tain property from forced sale, includ-
ing wearing apparel, tools, apparatus
or books of nersons belonging to
trades or professions; one horse or
yoke of oxen, harness and farm im-
plements, and wages of a single man
up to the amount of $25.
The bill excited a rather warm dis-
cussion. Mr. Marum endeavored to
show that the amount of cash exemp-
tion furnished no protection to rail-
way employes, and offered an amend-
ment that the single man be exempt
forty-live days' wages. Mr. Johnston,
who had charge of the bill, vigorously
resisted the amendment, and it was
finally voted down.
The interests of the agriculturists
Yesterday afternoon the Woman's
Suffrage League of Guthrie took pos-
session of the council chamber and for
over an hour poured into the ears of
the grave and dignified solons reasons
why woman should be placed on an
equal footing with brute man, and be
allowed to share the responsibilties of
conducting the affairs of government
and filling office. The principal ad-
dress was made by Mrs. Laura M.
Johns, who was followed by a half
dozen or more local suffragists. Mrs.
Johns is from Salina, Kas. She is a
member of the National Woman's Suf-
frage association, and an enthusiastic
worker in the cause. This afternoon
she acted as mistress of ceremonies
and her apt introduction of the speak-
ers that followed stamps her a woman
of ready wit and bright intelligence.
Among the local speakers were Mrs.
Harvey, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs Rhodes,
Mrs. Butler, Miss Stella Wayman,
Miss Reece, Miss Cossett, Mrs. Carter,
Miss Bosworth and Mrs. Ladden. The
latter made the hit of the occasion
which convulsed her hearers. "As an
excuse for not giving us the right of
the ballot men say that we don't know
how to use it, but"—and here the
speaker took in the members with
comprehensive glance,—"I don t see
how we could do much worse than the
men." It was Senator Garrison who

who succeeded in getting in an amend-
ment exempting a team of horses in-
stead of a single horse.
C. B. No. 4, which, on motion of Mr.
Johnson was made a special order,
was then taken up. This is the bill re-
quiring the payment of all taxes in
lawful money of the United States. Mr.
Johnson stated that his interest in the
bill aedressed itself only to school dis-
tricts where large amounts of indebt-
edness accumulated each year, and he
thought the passage of the bill would
guard against the closing of the schools
and prevent the school fund being
made the matter of speculation. He
was not so sure that the same provis-
ions should apply to cities and count-
ies.
Mr. Garrison, who introd i>:cd the
bill, declared that something of the
kind was needed to prevent specula-
tion in warrants. He said that banks
in his county were not confining them-
selves to legitimate banking business,
but speculating in warrants. He said
it was impossible for pers >ns in his
county to obtain a receipt for taxes,
yet the banks had displayed in their
windows the announcement. Money
received here for taxes, and on every
thousand dollars paie in warrants on
taxes the banks cleared S'iOO. He
thought his bill would remedy the
existing evils.
Mr. Johnston said he favored

Ouite a sensation was caused yester
day by the filing of a suit by Mrs Ed.
S. Donnelley in the district court
against her husband the well-known
Oklahoma avenue druggist, to restrain
Mr. Donnelley from disposing of any
of his property and compelling him to
turn into the court an account of his
daily cash receipts, and that a suffici-
ent amount be set aside for her use as
almony in the case. Mr. and Mrs.
Donnelley reside in a pleasant home
in East Guthrie, and the suit is un-
doubtedly the result of a lot of med-
dlesome gossips, who. by their sland-
erous tonges, arc trying to wreck a
hapov home. Mr. Donnelley, who is
from a severe illness,

ston invited Mrs. Johns forward to
the President's platform. Mrs. Johns,
however, expressed a preference to
speak from the lobby which was
crowded with members of the suffrage
league and curiosity-seekers.
The closest attention was paid Mrs.
Johns during the whole course of her
remarks lasting nearly half an hour
and every point the speaker scored
met with vigorous hand-clapping by
her sympathizers in the lobby. During
the course of her remarks the speaker
desired the senators to ask questions,
but the only ones who had the tem-
erity to ask questions were Senator
Garrison and Rev. "Nightingale
Jones. The former asked why men
are more willing to give the ballot
than women are to receive it, to which
Mrs. Johns quickly replied that wo-
man had had no opportunity to learn
the dignity of the ballot, hence were
indifferent.
In prefacing her remarks Mrs.
Johns stated that she was here as the
invited guest and associate helper of
the Woman's Suffrage league, which
was still in infancy and its officers

Mr. DeBois called up bis notice to
amend rule No. 48, which after a short
discussion was agreed to.
Mr. Garrison, of the committee on
education, reported back favorably
with amendments, C. B. No. 27 and C.
B. No. 28, both bills relating to
schools, and they were ordered p.aced
on the calendar.
C. B. No. 20, by Mr. Johnson, to pro-
vide for the incorporation of associa-
tions for railroad construction and
maintenance, was reported back fav-
orably from the committee on rail-
roads and was ordered placed on the
calendar.
The committee on enrolled and en-
grossed bills reported back council
bill No. M0 as properly engrossed ana
the bill was then read the third time
and placed on its passage. Mr. Fisher's
was the only vote cast in the negative
and in explaining his vote Mr. Fisher
stated that a single man who cannot,
or will not, pay his debts, ought not
be allowed any exemptions. The bill
is an act to exempt property forced
sale.
Mr. Gould introduced council con-
current resolution No. 4, and moved its
adoption. The resolution is a memor-
ial to congress to limit the force of Ok-
lahoma's criminal laws and other laws
in the Indian reservations, and that
the laws ef the United States be ex-
tended over the reservations, and that
the United States pay the expenses of
prosecutions.

had been called in was that the
speaker is a Kansas, and many of the
members of the members of the legis-
lature were from that state. Kansas
is our neighbor and there should be a
kindred bond of sympathy and of
neighborhood. The speaker based
the claim for the enfranchisement of
woman on the corner stone of the
republic. The very foundation of our
government is the right to individual
representation, and that woman is an
individual the speaker was sure her
in its present shape While he de-
sired to lend his aid to any measure
that would relieve the people of the
various counties of this tremendous ex-
pense, (and in one of the counties it
means bankruptcy) yet as a lawyer he
could not subscribe to the memorial.
He contended that the question was no
longer debateable as to whether the
courts of Oklahoma have jurisdiction
over the Indian reservations. It has
certainly been settled by the court of
last resort. The memorial simply asks
congress to do something which it
cannot do.
Mr. Gould said it was not to raise
legal questions that he had been sent
to the council, but his people are in
distress and must have relief from the
burdensome charge of providing courts
for the Indian reservations, otherwise
they would be pauperized.
Mr. Johnson did not wish to be
misunderstood in the matter; his only
object was to get the memorial in such
shape that there would be some shew
for getting relief.
Mr. Gould subsequently withdrew
his motion aud the memorial was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary
with instructions to report tomorrow
at 2 p.m.
Tom Miller, of the Perry Daily Dem-
ocrat, came down on the noon train.
