'I'hc New York Herald (Inde-
pendent), in a recent leading
editorial under the
“The Wonderful Rising Popu
lurity of William J. Bryan,”
said:
It is not often safe to make
predictions two years in ad-
vance of the event, but present
indications are that William
J. Uryan will be the next Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. His wonderful recent
rise in popular favor is making
real us well as would-be politi-
cal leaders “sit up.’’ The
Democrats of four states in
formal convention have named
him as the candidate, and other
states through their county
conventions have similarly in-
dorsed him
Through the workings of
natural laws, unlimited coin-
age of the white metal has been
relegated to the limbo of dead,
and “Gold Democrats” are
shaking hands with the former
“tree silver’’ advocates, and
vying with them in indorsing
Mr. Bryan as the natural and
logical candidate of a reunited
Democracy. In view of the
extreme radicalism attributed
to Mr. Bryan ten years ago, it
is curious to note the frequency
with which lie is now referred
to as a ‘‘conservative radical”
and a “ conservative force.”
The fact is that many of the
demands made in the old
Bryan platforms with reference
to corporations and trusts have
been carried out by the Repub
licans, and the agitation for
government ownership and
operation of the railways is
rendered almost as obsolete as
the silver issue by the measures
for the regulation and the pre
ventation of discriminations.
Thus Mr. Bryan, while re-
taining the sympathy and
admiration of the i adical Demo-
crats, now finds the conserva-
tives also flocking to his sup-
port The realy paramount
and living issue is one that he
has consistently advocated,
namely, the revision of the tar-
iff, by which the people are
taxed to build up private for-
tunes. The Republicans have
done nothing to reform this
abuse. It presents an issue on
which all Democrats are united
—to sav nothing of the fact
that it appeals to an ever-in-
creasing number of thoughtful
Republicans. Mr. Brvan is suf-
ficiently progressive to satisfy
the most radical Democrats,
and with the return of the
conservatives we have the
phenomenal rising tide of
Democratic sentiment in his
favor, which promises to make
him for the third time the
candidate of his party
without a dissenting vote ,M1*me5S on «*» *»"«* account

INDIAN TERRITORY NEWS.
- Secretary Hitchcock has refused to
(• comply with the demands of the In-
dian territory oil men that ho adopt
a more liberal policy In enforcing the
1 regulations relative to the leasing up
oil lands in the territory. New reg-
ulations goyernlng leases ha\e
, been made public. They do not essen-
tially change those now in force.
Their purpose apparently is to more
t clearly delino some of the provisions
of existing regulations. Before pro-
mulgating the now regulations, Secre-
tary Hitchcock submitted them to
James It. Carfleld, commissioner of
corporations, who was In the Indian
territory a year ago and is familiar
with the oil conditions there. Mr Gar-
field stated lhat he believed they would
place additional safeguards around the
interests 0! the Indians. The reason
of the secretary for refusing to per-
mit the leasing of more than 4,800
acres is that he desires to prevent
the Standard Oil company from obtain-
ing a monopoly in the development
of (he Indian territory field. The pro-
vision requiring the approval of the
Interior department to all assignments
of leases will also prevent transferring
of large acres of territory to the
Standard.
Muskogee is about to put through
the biggest industrial propoposltion
ever attempted by any town in Indian
; Territory, the Grand river clam. This
immense plant is now assured. It will
be installed at an expenditure of ap
proxiniately $1,000,000. and it will
furnish power to scores of factories,
If they can be secured, at rates cheap-
er than natural gas or any other pow
ar producer known to the industrial
world. The plant will be built near the
mouth of the Grand river, which
empties into the Arkansas river about
five miles northeast of Muskogee.
The grand river is a continuation of
the Neosho river, which runs through
x large part of Kansas, Southwest
Missouri and the Ozark regions of
j Missouri and Northeast Indian Terri-
tory.

Half a dozen I'nited States marshals

raid on the gambling houses in Mus-
kogee and 50 men in all were arrested
and taken to the jail, where most of
them gave bond. Three houses were
j raided. For some time .Muskogee has
been what is known as a ‘‘wide open”
town. The gamblers got so liold that
they commenced running during the

prietor of one gambling house took J::,
