THE DEMOCRATIC WAV.
The following from the speech of
Representative Dalzell hIiowb that tho
democrats when In power adopt the
same tactics as do the republicans
in order to expedite legislation:
"Mr. Speaker I shall not delay the
committee. 1 have only a single
ord to say In conclusion. The con-
Hldcrntlon of a tariff hill by a spe-
cial rule is nothing new In the his
tory of tariff legislation In this
country. The McKlnley hill was con-
sidered under a rule. The Wilson
hill was considcrrd under a rule.
On the 5th or January ISO I the
democratic party then being In con-
tiol of this House a rule was In-
troduced which provided for the con-
sideration of the tariff bill then
landing known ns the "Wilson bill."
That rule' provided that on January
10 live days thereafter general de-
bate should close and on January
25 fifteen days thereafter tho hill
should be reported to the House
the previous question considered or-
dered upon the amendments upon
the hill to its engrossment and third
rinding and upon Its llnnl passage.
As a matter of history tho bill was
passed without any opportunity af-
forded to tho members of the House
to consider each and every para-
graph of tho bill. Why gentlemen
on the other side of the House arc
agonizing today because they nay
that they will have no opportunity
to consider this bill item by item.
"Mr. Speaker I recall an historic
occasion In this House when n dem-
ocratic speaker occupying the chair
you now occupy and a democratic
majority being in control of tho
IIouoo a rulo wia adopted which
with only llfteen minutes' debate
on either side compelled a vote
.upon and secured the passage of
G37 cetintc amendments to the Wil-
son bill and that despite the pro-
tests of republicans on this side of
tho House (applauso on the republi-
can side). And those are the gen-
tlemen who are today agonizing be-
cause they Bhall not have an oppor-
tunity to spend tho dog days In
Washington considering Item by Item
tho paragraphs of a tariff bill.
"Mr. Speaker this hill Is a tariff
bill Hindu by a republican conunlttco
in response to the call of tho re-
publican President pursuant to the
mandate and in redemption of the
pledgo of the republican platform
mndo In Chicago last summer. It
Is a well-considered bill a well-matured
bill. It appeals not of course
to tho satisfaction or every republi-
canno tariff bill made by unin-
spired human wisdom could be inmlo
so perfect as to respond to the de-
sires of all but it should appeal to
every true republican because It Is
n hill drawn along republican lines
in accordance with republican prin-
ciples for the protection of Ameri-
can Industry and the maintenance or
an American wage. And now tho
country at largo stands waiting and
nsklng us not to talk but to act.
I suggest that we net." (Applause
on the republican side.)

There was an election at Hcntlcs-
llle on the 6th Instant which result-
ed in the nomination or two can-
didates for mayor nnd justice of tho
peace of that town.
There were three tickets In the
field and a total of sixty-two votes
were cast for them. F. P. Hrln-
son the present Justice nnd 1. W.
Haines were candidates on the re-
publican ticket nnd Hev. X. A. Rob-
inson one of tho men who founded
tho town was a candidate on an In-
dependent ticket. Tlu votes cast
were as follows:
Hev. X. A. Uoblnson Independent

Itcv. Robinson and .Justice Urln
son are the opposing nominees.
DEMOCRATIC INGRATES.
Good Lesson to the Republicans
In Power.
The democrntlc firemen who woro
instnlled by the republican adminis-
tration are now using their influenco
to defeat their republican benefac-
tors at tho coming election.
Such cusses as these should be
given their medicine at once nnd in
big doses. Tho ax they are now
grinding to assault the party should
bo used for their own decapitation.
While wo have not been in favor
or bringing politics into the city ad-
ministration yet we are bitterly op-
posed to these unscrupulous schem-
ing scoundrels taking advantage of
the prestige given them by tho re-
publican party to wclld tho ax
against us.
There is no sin grenter than in-
gratitude and If these rellows have
no more consideration and appreci-
ation for what the administration
has done for them than that they
nro manirestlng by their underhan-
ded tactics their heads should be
dropped into tho basket of past
tense and their places given to
bomc of our own boys.
ALL
GOOD CITIZENS SHOULD
SIGN PETITION
Asking for the Referendum of the
Taylor-Blllups Bill.
The Tnylor-RUlups bill lure
nroused more righteous Indignity
among the people tho hotter classes
than any other bill over presented
to the state legislature.
It Is a bill permeated with tho
venom or tho most corrupt tonus of
democracy calculated to deal a
death blow to the republicanism or
this state. ir It goes Into effect
colored people or Oklahoma will he
disfranchised and this of course
would mean a severe blow to the
republican party. Rccause If tho
negroes and Indians are disfran-
chised tho white republicans nro
left powerless.

P. K. T. Of course 'you have a

It Is not always wise to exercise

A Wife. It Is not right for a
husband to accept an invitation to

THOUGHTS WORTH WHILE.
It Is an easy matter to promise

Some people. care nothing for tho

they aro reeling all right themselves.
After all It's money that counts

There Is nothing moro trying than
suspense except perhaps expense.

KILLED aY WIFE OF WAY-
WARD HUSBAND.
Tho Frisco rooming house on Elgin
avenue was the scene or a doleful
tragedy last Tuesday evening about
7 o'clock when a wronged wire In
furiated to a point of Jealous frenzy
shot tho alienator of her husband's
affection. Mrs. Grant Huddleston Is
tho woman who did tho shooting;
Mrs. Reulah Cox was the woman she
killed.
It appears that CJraiit Huddleston
had been IntlnuUe with the dead
woman for some tlmo and this was
known to his wife. Last Tuesday
evening Huddleston lsltcd tho Fris
co hotel or rooming house which
wns conducted by Mrs. Cox. His
wife upon henrlne that ho was there
armed herseir and proceeded to tho
rooming house where she found the
woman and her husband together.
A wordy broil ensued between tho
two women which terminated In the
denth of Mrs. Cox. The slayer flrid
three shots at her victim but only
one took effect. The bullet entored
benonth her left arm penetrating the
cardiac cavity and severing an ar-
tery in Its ratal course.
Tho doad woman was tho divorced
wlfo or J. V Cox. All tho partlos
Involved were white. Roth women
were mothers. MrB. Cox wns tho
mother or two children and Mrs.
Huddleston Is tho mother or six
ranging In ago from ono to thirteen
years.
It wns Indeed pathetic to bcq tho
two little children of tho dead wo-
man ns they wailed and and mourned
tor their mother who then lay
proned faco downward upon tho
floor n heart-touching example of
waywardness. These llttlo children
innocent though they bo must over
bear tho stigma of their mother's
sin.
Such nro tho traditions of this
cruel world. Then there nro tho
children of tho other woman who
is now under heavy bond nnd who
may ho trlod and convicted. Thoy
may bo without tho enro of a moth
er and will doubtless suffer many
hardships. And tho faults or their
parontB will reflect upon them
through life. All of this has been
brought about by tho acts of a false
husband.
Those who nro condemning tho
dead woman for luring tho husband
away from lib wife should pltty tho
poor woman and most bitterly de-
uounco tho man who was so uutruo
and weak as to allow tho charms
of any woman to luro him nway
from his family.
