THAT TAX DECISION
It is seldom that a temporary in-
junction is refused upon a proper
showing. There is no doubt that
many times they should ty- re-
fused, however. The average tem-
porary injunction i* granted «,ntir«'-
ly upon ox parte evidence. In the
application in chambers before .lud^e
Dale on Saturday for a restraining or
der, restraining the treasurer from
collecting the taxes due from some
200 taxpayers, notice had been given
the opposition and the county attorney
appeared and resisted the application.
This brought an argument on the mer-
its of the case by both sides. Mr.
Speed had his case well prepared and
County Attorney Huston was ready to
make a thorough rebutal. Koth sides
thus being represented and the judge
having an opportunity to make up his
mind what should be done in the
premises, he refused the injunction.
This will prove to be a very lucky
thing for the people of Oklahoma. As
Judge Dale said in his refusal of the
injunctional order, any taxpayer who
pays what he can prove to be an un-
just tax can, by doing so under protest,
recover the amount from the county.
To have allowed this injunction
would haye been ruinous to the public
credit, which has already irretrieva-
bly sulTered from the action of the
courts in this territory. The courts
have forced count}' commissioners to
issue warrants to pay court expenses
and then trrned around and declared
the warrants null and void, thus rob-
bing the warrant holder of his labor
owl anil scrap like j or ^j,e investor of his money.
A country without public credit can-
not have much private credit. The
allowance of such an injunction us
was asked for in this case in this
county would have been a precedent
for other counties and the result
would be that all the public offices of
every county, the schools of the cities
and the school districts and the town-
ship governments would practically
have had to close up, and there is a
question whether the territorial gov-
ernment itself would not have had to
retire from business or do business on
warrants worth in the market half
their face value. With the overthrow

The national committee in itsofl'cial

The supine action of this adminis-
tration in all patriotic policies, exter-
nal and internal, brought such a Hood
of condemation from tin* people that
it is little wonder that Mr. Cleveland
has at last been forced to revive,
though perhaps incincerely, some of
that patriotisai prevailing in the dem-
ocratic party when Mr. Monroe pro-
mulgated his famous doctrine. The
republicans in congress by resolutions i
and speeches demanded an American
policy toward the dependent republics
of this continent.

General Wheeler, of Alabama, and

statehood bills. Wheeler's is for
separate statehood: McRea's for single

are democrats. No statehood bill in-

bility of passage in this congress. The
republicans of the house and senate
will hold a caucus on the admission of

Hekr Aulwakdt, a foreigner who

lecture in New York, anil many of
these hissed him. The Jew in this
country has most admirable co turner-
able to pay their taxes as they are this
year. The April tax was postponed
until August by the legislature in
hopes that the people would be better
able to pay then. Crops partially failed
and August found them harder up
than in April. Now the August and
December payments came so close to-
gether and the people are so barren of
money that it is no wouder the people
are grasping at straws and objecting

HEEDS POLICY.
Speaker Reed has, in an interview,
outlined his policy and Reed's policy
—and Reed's policy is very apt to be
that of the republican party. He be-
lieves that the republicans are bound
to do something to increase the reve-
nues, whether the president makes
any recommendations on that point or
not, and. therefore, he will advocate
the passage of something like the bill
Mr. Allison introduced at the last ses-
sion. authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to issue a long-time, low-
interest bond or an interest-bearing
certificate* whenever it shall he neces-
sary to meet adeti.it in the public
revenues. He also believes it to be the
duty of the houve to pass with as little
debate as possible a brief tariff bill.
which shall restore a portion of the old
duty ou wool, increase the present duty
upon woolen goods 20 or 2.*> per cent,
add something to the duties on pot-
tery, hay, eggs, potatoes aud some
other agricultural products, and per-
haps place a duty of 25 to M) cents a go to the direct benefit of those who
it very hard.
The average man of sense knows
that the territorial and county taxes
proper—the taxes for paying the run-
ning expenses of the territory aud
the county—are no higher than they
would have been were the assessment
one-half less. The township and school
district levies were in the first place
too high, some of them being original-
ly as high as 20 mills This came from
the educational liberality of the peo-
ple. The 4:> per cent raise made these
taxes exeessivelj' high and more than
were necessary. The school district
and township otticers had the right
under the law and had ample time to
meet and lower these levies after the
4.*. per cent addition to the assessment,
but few of them seem to have done it.
The board of education of Guthrie had
levied mills, but when the
assessment was raised, lowered
the levy to mills. Now
find some school districts pay-
ing 30 mills and some townships pay-
ing 20 mills,and in these cases the peo-
ple are just in declaring that their lo-
cal taxes are outrageously high. These
taxes, however, are all levied for and
is little probability that this caucus
will be held before the fall of 1896.
Finance and taiiff will consume all
time between now and then.
It is not likely that conventions and
resolutions in Oklahoma will have any
effect upon those who have the final
say about our statehood enabling act.
The foolish assumption by some in this
territory that the McRea bill in the
house and the Piatt*resolution iif
senate indicate that congress has got
to the heroic point and will wipe out
the Indian autonomy and communism
of the Indian Territory and make it a
state with Oklahoma, are building
upon a most sliinpsy and foolish
premise. This same McRea bill was
introduced in the house two years ago
and Piatt introduced the same sort of
a resolution four years ago and again
two years ago. Congress is verj- little
nearer the abrogation of tribal rela-
tions and single statehood for Okla-
homa and Indian Territory than it
was two years ago. The same sort of
bills and resolutions will continue to
be introduced by the progressive ones
for the next five years, but there is no
likelihood that more than a territorial
government for the white citizens of
the Indian territory will be accomp-
lished soon.
Oklahoma in its conventions should
be consistent. The Shawnee reso-
lutions are correct. There might
be added to them two lines expressing
the willingness of Oklahoma to place
in its constitution a clause allowing
congress to attach the Indian territo-
ry to Oklahoma whenever those In-
dians allot their lands and congress
deems it wisdom to do so. To ask for
single statehood or none at the Okla-
homa City convention—as we under-
stand the democrats are trying to pack
| it to do would be a most ridiculous
action. The Shawnee resolution
with the slight amendment indicated
above or with no amendment what-
lutions passed
thousand on lumber. He also desires
the restoration of a portion of the old
duty on tin pi ate, perhaps 1 H or 1 3-5
cents a pound, billets to remain where
they (ire.
Mr. Reed thinks that both of these
bills can pass the senate, and that if
the president vetoes them the republi-
cans will be in a position to throw up-
on him all responsibility for any defic-
it in the revenuas and the necessity
for an issue of bonds.
Mr. Reed does not propose to permit
any appropriations for public build-
ings during the present session. The
river and harbor bill will be cut down
to an amount barely sufficient to
maintain existing work and all appro-
priations will oe kept within the act-
ual necessity.
pay them and will result in much less-
ened taxes next year.
Judge Dale's refusal of this injunc-
tion is backed by the law and the deci-
sions. This paper has said repeatedly
there was no legal ground upon which
the 45 per cent could be successfully
resisted anil that all money put into a
resistence of it would be thrown a way.
This was not a conclusion jumped at,
but one arrived at after consulting
some of the best lawyers in the terri-
tory.
The people will have an extremely
hard time in paying these taxes. It is
very unfortunate that they have them
to pay at this time. The payment of
them, however, will raise public credit
and in the end oe far better for the
people than though fruitless attempts
' j ever should be tli
L by the Oklahoma City convention.
This would show the sort of unanimi-
ty necessary to have an influence on
congress. Men who advocate a differ-
ent action are, whether wilfully or
not, making a stand which might post-
pone statehood for Oklahoma for five
to ten years—for there is not a scin-
tilla of possibility of congress hitching
the Indian territory onto Oklahoma
within five and perhaps ten years.

Washington, Dec. 18—Accompauj'-
ing the president's message in regard
to the Venezuela complication is the
correspondence on the subject. It
starts with Secretary Olney's note re-
opening the negotiations with Great
Britain, looking to the arbitration of
the boundary dispute. This bears the
date of July 20 last and is
addressed to Mr. Bayard. The
secretary begins by stating- that the
president has given much anxious
thought to the subject and has not
reached a conclusion without a lively
sense of its great importance as well
as of the serious possibility involved in
any action now to be taken. He then
comments on the long duration of the j
boundary dispute, the "indefinite" I
claims of both parties and "the contin- j
nous growth of the undefined British j
claims," the fate of the various at-
tempt at arbitration of the controversy J
and the part in the matter heretofore '
taken by the United States. He shows ,
that the British claims since the ,
Schomburg line was run have moved j
the frontier of British Guiana farther
and farther to the westward of the
line proposed by Lord Aberdeen in
1844. He then summarizes the situa-
tion at the beginning of the year and 1
the secretary lays it down as '
a canon of international law,
that a nation may justly inter-
pose in a controversy between other
nations whenever "what is done or
proposed by any of the parties prima- 1
rily concerned is a serious and direct
menace to its own integrity, tranquil-
ity or welfare." This leads the secre-
tary up to an elaborate review of the
Monroe doctrine and after stating that
the proposition that America is no part
open to colonization has long been I
conceded, he says that present concern
is with the other practical application j
of the Monroe doctrine—that Amer-
ican non-intervention in Europe nec-
essarily implied European non-inter-
vention in American affairs, the disre-
gard of which by any European power
is to be deemed an act of unfriendli-
ness toward the United States.
The secretary says that it is mani-
fest that a rule which has been openly
and uniformly acted upon by the ex-
ecutive branch of the government fr r
70 years must have had the sanction of
congress.
•'American questions, it is said, are
for American decision," says Secretary
Olney, and then applying this doctrine
in the reverse he says;
If all Europe were suddenly to fly to arms
over the f;iteof Turkey, would it not be pre-
posterous that any American state should lln<l
itself inextricably involved in the miseries and
burdens of the contest'- What have the states
of America to do with the vast armies and
fleets of Europe, and whv should they be im-
poverished by wars in which they can have no
direct concern:*oThe moral interests of Europe
are peculiar to her and entirely
adverse from those which are pecu-
liar to America. Europe is, with a single im-
portant exception, committed to the inonar-
• hied principle. America is devoted to the
idea that every people hits An inalienable ri;;hi
of self-government. Any European control of
our interests is necessarily both incongruous
and injurious and, if the forcible intrusion uf
European powers in American politics is to be
deprecated, the resistance must come from the
United States, the only power with strength
adequate to the exigency.
The secretary then says:
The people of the United States have a vital
interest in the cause of popular self-govern-
ment. which they have secured at the cost of
in Unite blood and treasure. The age of the
crusude has passed and they are content with
such assertion and defense of the rights of
self-government as their own security and
welfare demand It is in that view more than
any other that they will not tolerate the
political control of the American states
by the forcible assumption of a European
power. The mischiefs to be apprehended
from such a course are none the less real
because not immediately imminent in any
specific case. The United States is to-day
practically sovereign on this continent and
its flat is law. All the advantages of this
superiority are at once imperiled if the
principle be admitted that European pow-
ers may convert American states into col-
onies of their own. The principle could be easily
availed of and any power doing so would im-
mediately secure a base of military operations I
against us and it is not inconceivable that the j
st ruggle now going on for the acquisition of Af-
rica might be tr nsferrcd to South America.
The weaker countries would soon be absorbed
and South America wonld b ' partitioned be-
tween European powers.

}sk\v York. Dec. 18.—The withdrawal
yesterday of S3,1.m),000 in gold for ship-
ment leaves the treasury reserve at
87J,>04,7M. President Cleveland, see-
ing that a bond issue must come, has
been in personal consultation with
members of the syndicate which ad-
vised and managed the last issue. The
details of a plan for the issue were par-
t ially agreed upon, and it is understood
that the president will order the issue
a*> soon as the reserve strikes the 800,-

least $>0,000,000, possibly $100,000,000.
It is the general feeling that yester-
