territorial side of the court. The or-
ganic act has nothing to do with ter-
ritorial fees. Until the Fegan bill
went into effect, all territorial fees
taxed by district court clerks were
taxed under territorial law, which
law includes more services and in the
nggregate gives higher fees. Now
they have suddenly found the territo-
rial law does not apply to them and
they are now taxing under United

world's primary money, and within

McKlNLEY, PROVIDED.
Ex-Governor A. J. Seay, in a St.
Louis interview, last week declared:
"You may say that Oklahoma will
send a McKinley delegation to the
next republican national convention,"
said the Governor. "The Ohio man

is a westerner, and is supposedly a

trict court fees, and which shows con-
clusifely that the United .States fee

territorial side of the court.
Yukon Weekly: Tun State Caiti ai.
wants to know why "Uod doesn't kill
the devil and save the preachers all
the hard pounding." That question
was svsked of a young minister who
was holding a meeting at Ardmore
two or three years ago. The minister
replied: "Because Uod doesn't want
to leave so many of you old rakes or-
phans."
Two years ago when Thk NrATk
Capitai. began a lively crusade for
free coinage of American silver, some
leading republicans said we were
badly off and such advocacy would
ruin the paper. Then free silver men
were scarce; now there are no
other kind. No sentiment ever grew
faster than has the sentiment for free
silver, in the last few years.
The four per cent limit seems to
have gone glimmering. The commis-
sioners of Lincoln county refused to
pay the salary of the county attorney,
or to issue warrants for any purpose,
declaring the county debt exceeded
the four per cent federal limit. Judge
Dale granted a writ of mandamus,
declaring that warrants issued above
the four per cent limit for necessary
expenses are legal. This would seem
to be a direct augury of what the su-
preme court decision in June will be.
PLANT COTTON.
With the almost total failure of the
wheat crop, and oats in little better
condition, it is a matter of great im-
portance to the business interests of
Guthrie and to the surrounding coun-
try that the lands which have been
depended upon for small grain should
be planted in cotton. If the reports
from all points in the south arc cor-
rect. the acreage in that section will
be very much curtailed, thereby in-
suring a profitable price for the next
crop. It is a well known fact that
cotton can stand dry weather better
than any other plant, and as the cost
of seed is small, the opportunity
should not be lost of turning to profit-
able account lands that would other-
wise lie idle. The planting season
la.its at: out three weeks longer, and
during that time it is to be hoped til at
a big lot of cotton will be planted.
Coyle .t Smith inform The Statk
Capitai. that they have a lot of cotton
seed which they will sell on time to
the farmers. This cotton question
should be carefully considered and
acted upon.
The democrats of Oklahoma county
have resolved in favor of "free and
unlimited silver coinage" and called
on the territorial committee to call a
convention In which the democracy of
Oklahoma shall meet and plant itself
on the silver dollar. Such a conven-
tion would raise general thunder.
The cuckoos, pap-suckers, have been
afraid to whisper aloud for silver for
fear his majesty, Cleveland, would get
on to them and make trouble. In face
of such a convention they would be
forced, as the Illinois cuckoos are be-
ing, to come out in a lively fight for
the Cleveland "gold cure." Let such
a convention be held, by all means,
that we may hear the automatic jingle
of the administration collar.
mand a considerable following, but
hardly so much as Governor McKin-
ley."
"Yes, we expect to have statehood
very soon after the meeting of the
next congress. Settlers are still com-
ing into the territory in large num-
bers, and when Oklahoma becomes a
member of the union, we expect a tre-
mendous inflow of new people. There
is plenty of room for all who wish to
come, as mucli of the good land re-
mains unsettled, and the opportunities
for making money are as good as they
ever were."
As to the McKinley declaration of
Gov. Seay, he is badly mistaken.
Since the purported financial utter-
ances of Gov. McKinley, his stock has
gone down so low that no sensible
man would count it at ten cents on
the dollar. Oklahoma is paying no
attention to tariff. It knows the late
congress established foreverthe protec-
tive tariff policy,making a twin McKin-
ley tariff which, outside of reciproc-
ity and about a do/.en leading sched-
ules, should stand for years to come.
The people are thinking and talking
finances now and they propose to
practice in 189fi what they are believ-
ing and preachinir now. No man can
get the vote of the next Oklahoma
delegation for the presidential nomi-
nation who is not an outspoken advo-
cate of the free and unlimited coinage
of the American silver product, and
no party can win which has not such
a man as a candidate 011 a platform
unequivocally for this principle.
So, if Major McKinley hopes to be
in it, he had better scramble on to the
band wagon.
Put this down, also—no man who is
not a straight-out free silver man can
go as a delegate to the next national
republican convention or be elected to
any territorial ofliee. The republi-
cans have unitedly declared for free
silver and propose to put none but
free silver men on guard.
This talk about a "liberal silver
policy" is the merest cant. There is
no - liberality" about it; it is purely a
matter of cold business. The debt-
holders have the people by the umbil-
icus on account of a restriction of pri-
mary money. Free coinage of silver
will remedy this and revivify the
country. To remonetize silver is just-
ice. good sense, not liberality.
The Canadian county people don't
know Chief Justice Dale as well as the
people here, or the Mathewson town-
ship people would not have met and
denounced him for his decision, on
Judge Uurford's bench, that juror and
witness certificates are not evidence of
debt and therefore not forgable.
Judge Dale evidently declared accord-
ing to law. There are many decisions
to back him up.
At a recent revival Sam Jones re-
buked the late-comers. He said:
"Now, what makes you women so
late? I'll tell you—primpin'. All the
late-comers who didn't stay at home
to primp, stand up." No one arose
but a very ugly woman. Sam looked
at her a moment a«d remarked: "Well,
God knows, sister, you need primpin'
and it don't make no uifference how
late you come hereafter, I'll make no
fuss."
Watonga Republican: Hon. J. V.
Heekman, of Arkansas City, Kan., will
make a speech at the meeting of the
republican league at Enid on the 20th

peers in the west His speech alone
will fully repay anyone for going to
Enid.
The metropolitan newspapers are
yet searching for the way in which
the Chicago Tribune got the income
tax decision and published it thirty-
six hours before it was delivered. Of
course, they denounce any method by
which such a thing could be done, but
each cannot conceal its wrath over
the fact that it was not the one to
get this remarkable scoop. It is a lit-
tle queer, though, that even the su-
preme court of the United States is
liable to "leak." This is as bad, almost,
as the Daily Leader's various scoops
on the Oklahoma supreme court decis-
ions: in the Scott case, for instance,
when the Leader gave the opinion ten
davs before the court announced it.
Thk Leader informs an ignorant
world that "there is no person in the
territory who is a stronger free silver
advocate than Chief Justice Frank
Dale." Well, Judge Dale is said to
stand closer to Cleveland than any
democrat in Oklahoma; and how can
he continue to hold this standing un-
less he swears a'legiance to the Cleve-
land "gold cure?" In fact, wouldn't
a strong free silver declaration cripple
him eternally with the administra-
tion?
A NEW IMIlLAR.
The Detroit Tribune is among the
papers which have been counting that
America is too weak to establish a
monetary system of its own. It
thinks we cannot act for silver till
other countries get ready to act with
us Hut the Tribune has found a
scheme by which we can act inde-
pendently. It wants the gold and sil-
ver dollars we have called in. thrown
i into the melting pot together and a
I dollar made of the mixture of gold
j and silver. We suppose it would
make the mixture on a ratio of about
10 to 1.
j The scheme is not a bad one, if it
| can be done; but if we can be inde-
! pendent in making this kind of a dol-
j lar, without foreign consent, surely
I we can make independently the kind
of dollars our daddies made, dollars of
] gold and silver, each on an exact
[ equality with the other. The Trib-
une's acknowledgment that we can
make a composite dollar without for-
eign dictation is in juxtaposition with
the broad American theory that we
can independently remonetize the sil-
ver dollar to its old-fashioned posi-
tion. The Tribune quotes the declar-
ations of the republican national plat-
forms of 1883 and 1892 in favor of bi-
metallism, and points out the dangers
of a practical silver mono metallism
through the throwing open of the
mints to unlimited coinage. It calls
attention to the difficulties and de-
lays which would attend the negotia-
tion of an international compact and
questions the successful maintenance
of a parity of gold and silver by that
means in any event. It calls upon
the party to fulfill its platform pledges
by formulating, without delay, a
practical scheme for bimetallism, es-
pecially in view of the threatened dis-
integration of parties and drawing of
new party lines, with gold mono-met-
allism on one side and silver mono-
metallism on the other.
Continuing, the Tribune advocates
the composite dollar as a measure
easiest to effect, and with the least
disturbance to business of any plan
suggested. It proposes: "That all ex-
isting coinage laws be repealed and
there be enacted a law creating a new
American dollar, which would be the
standard coin of the nation, the dollar
to be composed of 20f>^ grains of
standard silver and 12 9-10 grains of
standard gold fused together and
struck into a handsome coin about the
size of the present half dollar.
"The coin would be absolute staple
value for, in case of disparity at any
time in the commercial values of gold
and silver, what was lost by one metal
would be made up by the exactly cor-
responding appreciation of the other."
As to the question whether the pro-
posed dollar would be available for
export, the Tribune replies: "It would
not be necessary to export the coin
while uncoined gold could be pro-
cured, which would be just as availa-
ble. If at any time it became necessa-
ry to separate the gold from the silver,
it could be done at the United States
mint at a cost of less than 1 per cent.
This very cost would be a protection
against the exportation of the coin
while uncoined bullion was obtaina-
ble."
Thk State Capital would endorse
this composite dollar, could it be ac-
complished now. But it can't. For
this reason we shall keep up a con-
seryative but loud and persistent
clamor for the free coinage of Ameri-
can dollars, strictly from American
silver, and at the American ratio of 16
to 1.
Tiik government lias made a whole-
some order on the Indian question. It
has ordered that the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes must break camp and here-
after reside upon their allotments.
Not more than four families will be
permitted to live together and that
will be upon the four corners of ad-
joining allotments. It is hoped in this
way to get them to cultivate their
land and stop their dancing. This
order should have been made long
ago. Those lazy louts must be made
to "root hog or die"—and the first
thing they should root up is the rich
soil on their allotments, which they
have so neglected.
Apropos of the interest in the
"pot" of gold found near Guthrie
lately, showing what a mesmerism a
story of buried treasure is, the story
came out in the Warden Chase inves-
tigation the other day that Governor
Lewelling pardoned from the peniten-
tiary of Kansss a murderous criminal
who had served only ten years of his
twenty-five year sentence, because the
convict, George Shoenwaldt, declared
he would take the warden and the
governor direct to a place in Arkansas
where lie, Shoenwaldt, had hid in the
ground a pot of stolen gold. The war-
den, the governor, the convict and the
witness who tells the story, W. 8.
Hancock, started for Arkansas. The
convict gave the crowd the slip, at a
station, and has not been heard of
since. The governor saw he had been
duped and the three gold hunters re-
turned home, sadder but wiser. Shoen-
waldt was an old tough, having been
in the Missouri penitentiary a long
time.
In 1836, when the rainfall was only
19.6 inches, 3.3 inches fell in March
April and May, but practically no rain
fell in November and December.
This proves that Oklahoma is de-
cidedly in the "rain belt." There was
no need for disheartenment. This
is proved by the magnificent downpour
last night. Those who were patient
and hopeful now have their reward.
A dry spring always, in this country,
means a wet summer: and a wot sum-
mer means millions to Oklahoma.
el. iieno Globe: The Guthrie Stati
Capital comes out in an editorial and
wants to know "Why God can't kill
the devil?" Nobody but a Guthrie
man who is afraid to meet his Satanic
majesty would have asked God to kill
the devil. The Globe does not look
with favor upon this suggestion, for if
the devil was killed there would be no
one left to run hades, and we would
then like to know what would be
done with that last legislature.
Hell could be turned over to Cleve-
land and the democratic party. The
administration of the deyil would be
put to shame did the democracy run
the plutonian regions with the same
hellish facility with which they run
this country.
THE OKLAHOMA RAINFALL.
This spring has been startlingly dry
in Oklahoma. Wheat has been ru-
ined. The people are discouraged and
some have talked of leaving. Where
they would go, is a query, for it has
has been as dry everywhere else as it
has been here.
That this is an exceptional spring,
the record proves. The El Reno Globe
has dug up the record since 1884. It
says:
There are a great many people, and
especially those who only recently
came to the territory, who have be-
come very much discouraged because
it has been very dry this spring. It is
true that the wheat crop will be al-
most a failure, but there is no reason
to believe that we will not raise a
good corn crop which, in the end will
be worth more to the farmers than
the wheat would have been, liy con-1
suiting the figures below, covering a
period of ten years, it will he seen
that Canadian county will always have
rain enough to make a crop some time
in the season, and the fact that we
have had but little rain up to this
time gives us the assurance that we
will have plenty later in the season.
The following is the mean average
temperature and inches rainfall, as

ard Morgan Savidge during the years
