THE OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
It Is said that there is a scarcity of
marriageable white men in the Phil-
ippines.
Kansas, with her beastly Republi-
can majority, should not forget that
once upon a time she had aJ. R.
Burton.
Since the election tlie price of hogs,
cotton and many other farm products
have gone down, while sugar and
coal oil and many other trust man-
aged articles have gone up. How
do you account for it?
The county clerks of Oklahoma are
getting things in readiness to ask the
legislature for a raise of salary sutli-
cient to employ a deputy in the ottice.
A deputy is needed in Grant county
to handle the work as it should be
without overtaxing the clerk, and the
salary now paid is not enough to jus-
tify the olllcer in employing help out of
his own pocket.
About the neatest newspaper that
comes to this ottice which is printed
on a hand press, is the Bluff City
News, published by J. E. Grove. The
workmanship is good throughout and
the paper always has an inviting ap-
pearance to us. Bro. Grove is enti-
tled to a better patronage than Bluff
City gives him, and it would not sur-
prise us some day to learn of his find-
ing a better location and moving to it.
The talk of the supreme court of
Colorado throwing out Democratic-
votes enough in that state to defeat
Governor-elect Alva Adams and seal
Mr. Peabody, will be met with great
resistance by the people of that state,
and if the proposed plan is carried out
the Journal’s impression is that
more blood will be shed before his
term of office expires—if, indeed, it is
not the blood of Adams himself. We
believe the Republican party in Colo-
rado had better let well enough alone.
Tiie Medford Star continues to
howl because the Journal gave it.
away on selling out to the Republi-
cans in the late campaign. Now we
have no objection whatever to your
howl, Bro. Foote, and would suggest
that you just keep it up until another
campaign rolls round. The voters by
that time will have had ample oppor-
tunity to determine in their own
minds as to whether you are a Social-
ist from principle or are doing busi-
ness on the sly in the interest of the
Republicans. We admire the honest
political beliefs of any man. regard-
less of the party principles lie advo-
cates, but we are at a loss to know
how a Socialist paper can afford to
come out and tight certain'Demo-
cratic candidates in the interest of the
Republicans, as you did in the late
campaign, and still hold your pre-
tended position of being a true So-
cialist. Better map out a lineofpol-
1 icy, Bro. Foote, and hue to it. By so
doing you may get to he somebody,
some day.

AFTER FERGUSON.
The G. A. R. Post at Woodward is
after Gov. Ferguson with a sharp
stlsk. The matter of recommending
sumo one for the position of register
of the U. S. land office at t hat place
was left to Ferguson and lie recom-
mended Dick T. Morgan, notwith-
standing t lie old soldiers had a man
of their own for the place, and In the
appoint ment President Roosevelt rec-
ognized Morgan and in so doing sat
down on the old soldiers. At the
next meeting of the Post after the ap-
pointment of Morgan was made a set
of resolutions were presented and pas-
sed. which we publish in part, as
follows:
“Whereas, The claims of mu-
friend and comrade for the position
have been deliberately ignored by the
governor of Oklahoma, T. B. Fergu-
son, who controls the public patronage
given this territory, and an entire
stranger endorsed by him for the
place, to enable him to pay a politi-
cal promise made two years ago, thus
colonizing on us, t he people of western
Oklahoma, a man who has no claim
to the position other than that the
governor of Oklahoma owed him a
political debt, which lie pays by giv-
ing this position to his creditor, who
is an entire stranger to all our people,
and this against the wish and will of
every citizen in this land district
therefole, be it,
Resolved, That we deprecate and
condemn the act ion of the governor of
< iklahoina in making merchandise of
the public patronage and using it to
pay his private political debt, instead
of conserving the interests of all by
making this patronage a record for
faithful and meritorious service to
party and country.’’
MARKET LETTER.
Special" to the Joubnal.
Kansas City, Mo.. Monday. Dec. 19,
1904. The cattle market last week
was very unsatisfactory to all but a
few shippers. Those who had the
very best quality of steers and good
heavy cows met a steady market, and
country grades were also steady and
in cases strong, but the medium to
common killing stuff, of which most
of the receipts were composed, sold
slow and dull at 20 to 30 cents lower
prices than during the previous week.
It is hard to get packers to take any
interest, and with cattle selling just
as bad at markets east of us, the out-
side demand was at a minimum. It
is not expected that any revival to
speak of will odcur until after the
first of the year.
The total cattle supply last week
was 42,000 head, not much different
from previous week. Packers claim-
ed that tiieir coolers were full of me-
dium class beef, while the demand
was almost entirely for stuff that
would class as “Christmas.” Very-
little really toppy stuff came in. one
or two loads of yearlings at $0.25, and
a few loads of prime heavy steers at
$5.85 to $6.30, besides a few individ-
ual steers at $0.50 to $7.50. These
were fully steady, but the mass of
beef steers sold at $4.00 to $5.25, and
were called 20 to 30 cents lower. Good
heavy cows sold nearly steady, but
other cows and ca'nners lost 25 to 30
cents. Cows ranged from $2.25 to
$3.50, and good to choice heifers $4.00
to $5.00. Veals were firm, $5.75 to
$0.50 for choice light ones. Condi-
tions in fat steer market were against
feeder prices. Stockers also hold
steady, and prices ranged from 83.00
to $3.85 for most of the stockers and
feeders. Cattle run today, 0,000 head
market steady to 10 cents higher, ap-
plying to all grades. With moderate
supply market should hold up balance
of week.
Hogs hung around the $4.60 mark-
all last week, for tops, with medium
weight hogs 1901b to 2501b, at $4.45 to
$4.55. Market was higher Saturday
and opened tiiis morning 5 higher,
witli a top today of $4.70, bulk of
sales $4.45 to $4.05. Receipts dropped
off some last week, and should they
continue light, prices will no doubt
advance, but just now. and fora time,
at least, the market will depend al-
most entirely on the volume of the
supply. A short time ago the supply
did not cut any figure, it was simply
that the packers wanted to hammer
prices.
