We have now reached a vital point
in the currency agitation. The pres-
ent season must virtually settle the
amination of the facts. The attempt
to pile up costs on the taxpa>ers by
appealing to the courts should never
be made withuut evidence of flagrant
violation of law. This evidence is
lacking aud the people should not be
burdened by additional taxation on
this account.
The News simply likes to see fair
plav. It does not relish having to be
taxed to pay additional costs for the
acts of misguided enthusiasts who as-
sume without authority to be guar-
dians of the dear people, and pile up
costs on them without iirst investigat-
ing to see if the commissioners are
doing their duty.
The News believes the commis-
sioners acted rightly and strictly with-
in the provisions of the law. It as-
sumes no censorship, it cares to dic-
tate to no one. It will gladly publish
any just criticism on any public official,
put it iiiNists upon common every day
justice, instead of misrepresentations
aud hasty, ill-advised action which
can have but one result—adding to the
taxpayer's dues

I he North Canadian river is one of
the most singular streams in the world.
It virtually lies on the top of a ridge
or high divide; no tributaries except
of a few miles in length flow into it-
its length is nearly six hundred miles
and receives its first waters up in the
mountains of New Mexico; it is a deep
treacherous stream, not over .oo or wi
feet in width; its altitude as compared
with the Cimarron river, -n miles
north, is Jtm feet higher. The Cimar-
ron near Kingfisher at low water is
1016 feet above sea level, while the
-North Canadian at El Reno is 1311
feet. It is a tributary stream of the
Arkansas river and as a drainage
stream it is of but little consequence
