HOT TALK BY A MF.MBER.
Mr. Walla of WUeonala Denounce! the
Foreit Bill u ■ Secret Steel.
Washington, D.-c. 8.—At the open
ing session of the house to-day on
motion of Mr. Martin of Indiana, the
order for a night session to consider
private pension bills was vacated.
The committee on banking and cur
rency was given leave to sit during
the sessions of the house.
In the morning hour Mr. McRae
from the committee on public lands,
called up the bill to prctcct forest
reservations. Mr. Wells of Wis
consin, opposed it iD every way.
He declared that it smelled—he would
sav savored if he did not have such
high respect for the chairman of
the public lands committee—of
boodle. It was said that the for
estry association was behind this
bill. There was an asssociation be
hind it, which had its organization in
Maine fifty years ago, and had now
extended to the Pacific slope. It was
an association of timber thieves and
land sharks. If these timber thieves
were allowed to go into the public
forests they would bribe the agents
of the interior department and de
stroy them. The pine land thieves of
Michigan and Wisconsin, he declared,
excitedly, had grown rich on their
plunder and had then bought seats
both in this house and the other. He
would not permit the people of this
country to be plundered of millions
of dollars worth of timber, lie ap
pealed to members of the house not
to permit these thieves to go into the
forests with the disguised purpose of
cutting only dead and matured tim
ber. He challenged any advocate of
the bill to show a line in it designed
to protect or preserve the public
forests.
When Mr. Wells took his seat Mr.
McRae indignantly denied that there
was any land ring or association be
hind the bill.
“I said before,” replied Mr. Wells,
hotly, “that I believe in your honesty,
but the gentleman is green in the
lumber business and I believe the
gentleman is being deceived and is
being made a tool of.”
After some further debate by Mr.
Wilson of Washington, Pickier of
North Dakota and Cotfeen of Wyo
ming, the morning hour expired and,
in accordance with the terms of the
special order the house, proceeded
with the discussion of the railroad
pooling bill under and agreement to
take up the bill under the five minute
rule to-morrow.
NO CHANGE OF RULES.
Senate Democrats in Caucus Agree Upon
an Order of Business.
Washington, Dec. 8.—Yesterday’s
Democratic caucus directed the steer
ing committee to prepare an order
for business which should present for
the consideration of the senate the
following subjects of legislation: A
bankruptcy bill, a bill for the con
struction of the Nicaragua canal, a
currency bill, bills for the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico, a bill
involving the interest of the Indian
territory, for the consideration of the
joint resolution of the house of rep
resentatives on the election of United
States senators by the people, and
such other measures, including the
appropriation bill, as the steering
committee may deem important.
That in their report to caucus the
steering committee shall provide the
order in which the above subjects of
legislation shall be considered.
The caucus was in session from 2
o'clock until 4:30 p. in.,and almost the
entire time was devoted to the dis
cussion of the first proposition of Sen
ator Daniels, instructing the commit
tee on rules to bring in an amend
ment for a cloture, and the speeches
were at. times very spirited. Senators
Vest, Vilas, Berry and George made
speeches favoring the proposition,
while Senators Gorman, Morgan,"
Palmer, Harris, Pugh and others op
posed it with vigor and warmth.
The protest made against the pro
posed change was so general that
when a vote was taken no one consid
ered it necessary to ask for the
ayes and nays. When the cloture
provision was defeated the friends of
the tariff bill gave up the fight, con
sidering it unnecessary to revive their
consideration in view of the opposi
sion of a majority of the Republicans
and because of the fact any deter
mined opposition under the rules
would insure their defeat. Hence it
is that those bills do not appear in
official list of bills to be presented for
the consideration of the senate.
The order for a preparation of the
currency bill by the finance commit
tee carries with it instructions to take
the recommendation of the president
and secretary of the treasury into
consideration. The order is* also
broad enough to include any other
suggestion of a financial character
which may be presented and the sen
ators favorable to silver, who were
present at the caucus say it is also
understood a feasible proposition for
the utilization of silver as to be in
cluded in any currency scheme pre
sented to or by the committee.
Washington, Deo. 8.—There seems
little prospect for favorable action by
the house upon the recommendation
of the president and the secretary of
the navy for the construction of addi
tional ships. The house appropria
tions committee is against any meas
ure that appropriates money except
for absolute running expenses of the
government.
To Survey the Indian Territory.
Washington, Dec. 8.—Senator Jones
of Arkansas is still endeavoring to
have an appropriation of 8100,000
made for the survey of Indian terri
tory in expectation of its opening for
settlement whenever the Indian
treaties have been abrogated and the
Indiau lands allotted.
Dr. R. C. Flower, the liostnn ex
preacher and Christian Scientist, who
was arrested in Galveston, Texas, re
cently, charged with securing 845,000
by questionable methods, was again
arrested in Chicago on a United
States warrapt. The warrant was
sworn out by J. B. Chapman of Peoria
and charges the doctor with conduct
ing a confidence game and obtaining
money by false pretenses.
Representative Bryan of Nebraska
has introduced into the house a joint
resolution providing an amendment
to the constitution, making the pres*
ident ineligible to a second term.
INDIAN TERRITORY.
Tht HtMnre to Provlio a Temporary
Govern meat.
Washixotox, Dec. 7.—The bill In
troduced in the senate yesterday by
Senntor Berry, to provide a tempor
ary government for the portion of the
Indian territory occupied by tho five
civilized tribes, provides that a terri
tory shall be formed to be known as
tho territory of Indianola. Among
the first provisions made is one to the
effect that any time in the future the
boundaries may be changed or any
portion attached to unj* other
state or territory by the action
of congress without securing the
consent of the inhabitants of the new
territory. The bill provides for a
governor and a secretary for the ter
ritory, a delegate to congress and a
legislative assembly, the latter to be
composed of a council and house of
representatives, the council to consist
of twenty-one members and the house
of forty-two, the sessions to be held
biennially and to continue for sixty
days. The territory is to be divided
into twenty-one counties.
All male citizens of the United States
who are actual residents and over 31
years of age are to have the right to
vote, as are also male Indians who
are citizens of any tribe in the terri
tory. It is provided that no law shall
be passed by the legislature interfer
ing with the primary disposal of the
soil or with the titles of the Indians
of the various tribes or their manner
of holding tho same. Indian home
steads are made inalienable and are
exempted from taxation.
The bill provides for a complete ju
dicial system, and adopts a large
number of the laws of the state of
Arkansas. All provisions of treaties
heretofore made by the United States
wit'u the civilized tribes, except so
far as the treaties relate to land
titles, are abrogated and repealed,
and all governments established by
the tribes abolished. The lands now
held in common by the several tribes
are to be divided in severalty among
the members of the tribes, each to
have a homestead of 100 acres, and
after this division the rcsiduo is to be
sold and the proceeds to be divided
among the Indians.
The twenty-one counties provided
in tho bill are to be numbered until
the first general election, when the
people shall vote on tho names. Tho
county-seats as at present fixed are:
South McAlester, Atoka, Oak Lodge,
Talihus, IVheelock, Antlers, Tish
omingo, Stonewall, Ardmore, NVynne
wood, Duncan, Chickasha, Nowata,
Claremont, Tahlequab, Muldrow,
Muskogee, Sapulpa, Wewoka and
Checota.
The town of South McAlester is
made the capital of the new territory.
The United States attorney and
United States marshal shall each re
ceive 85,000 per year, the clerk of thq
supreme court 83.000 per year, and
the clerks of tho district courts, 81,
800; the governor, 81,000; the chief
justices and associate justices, 83,000
each and the secretary, 82,500; the
members of the legislature to receive
80 per day; 82,500 to be appropriated
to defray the contingent expenses of
the governor.
Five years’ imprisonment and 8500
fine is provided for anyone introduc
ing intoxicants into the territory.
NEW BANKING BILL.
Conference of the Home Committee Re
garding Carlisle** Plans.
Washington", Dec. 7.—An important
conference of most of the Democrats
of the house committee on banking'
and currency was held after the ad
journment of the house yesterday as
a result of which early action look
ing to the reporting of a banking bill
in line with the scheme presented by
Secretary Carlisle in his message was
taken. Chairman Springer said that
Secretary Carlisle has intimated a de
sire to appear before the committee
himself and has suggested the
names of several persons whom it
may be * well for the committee
to call for the purpose of learning
their views. Among the names in
the list furnished by Mr. Carlisle
were those of ex-Secretary Fairchild,
Horace White of the New York Even
ing Post; Mr. St. John of New York
and Geo. A. Butler of New Haven,
Conn. The members present decided
to hold a meeting of the full commit
tee on next Friday when a resolution
will be offered providing an invita
tion be extended to Mr. Carlisle and
Mr. Eckles to appear on Monday and
Tuesday, respectively, and the other
gentlemen to appear on the remain
ing days of the week.
To Shat Oat Oar OIL
■Washington, Dec. 7.—Germany has
taken the initiative step towards cur
tailing' the importation of another
American product, in the proposition
now before the bundesrath to enor
mously increase the duty on cotton
seed oil. The proposition is to in
crease the present duty, which is SI,
to $3.50, equivalent to a duty of 350
per cent, and as the proposition is
supported by the agrarian and pro
tectionist industrial parties, there
can be little doubt that it will su c
ceed. The subject is treated at length
in a report to the state department
by United States Consul Merrit
st Bremen.
Schaefer Not In It With Ives.
Chicago, Dec. 7.—Schaefer met de
feat for the third time last night, and
is now so far behind that it seems im
possible for him to win out. lie could
only succeed in making 434 while Ives
ran his 600 and the latter has the
balls, after making a run of 281,
which enabled him to finish the game.
Ives’ total is 1,G00, against 1,043 for
Schaefer. _

St. Paui, Minn., Die. 7.—The anti
Washburn and Great Northern rail

on Governor Nelson for United States
senator against Washburn, the pres
ent incumbent. If the deal is made
the fight will be an exceedingly close
one for the winner.

Washington, Dec. 7. — Notwith

can character of the next congress,
and the fact that breaks were made

GRAND OLD PARTY.
REPUBLICAN VICTORIES IN THE
•'SOLID" SOUTH.
A (Irmoli That Will Never He Cloved —
Will the Fenner Contlnuo to I’lejr the
Piper While Three Schemer* Deuce —
Where's That Clover?
No More Solid South.
To those Republicans who opposed
the bill of Senator Lodge, commonly
though orronoonsly known us tho
••force bill,” there Is more than a
coincidence In the. fact that for tho
first time since tho troops wore re
moved from tho Southern states tho
lino of tho "solid South" is broken by
Republican victories. Tho St. Paul
Pioneer Press was among those who
took tho view of tho situation which
has now boon so gloriously vindicated.
Wo have not ceased to call
for justice on tho outrages
committed against the suffrage and
against the poace and rights of inno
cent men in tho states of tho South.
They have movod our pity and our In
dignation. Hut in considering any
remedy, tho question of methods is all
important And as long as this is to
bo a self-governing nation, a union of
•states to each of which is reserved tho
right to munago its own affairs in
dependently as long as it does not
como into conflict with tho supreme
power of tho nation, wo havo soon no
way in which to work out of this ovil
oxccpt by the rational punishment of
reducing to a minority tho party guilty
of it. Tho strong hand of federal
authority had boon tried in vain.
Soldiers could not establish free and
easy suffrage in the South. Such fed
eral election laws as we had could not
do it. Tho more that remedy wus
applied, tho more unflinchingly tho
states of tho South stood together,
and tho moro wore they aide to appeal
on partisan grounds to tho Democrats
of tho North. No satisfactory results
were ever obtained.
vv e mu nm apnrovo or ino repeal
of the federal election laws by tills
congress, because they are so mild
that they could not possibly do an in
justice to any one. anil because the
only use of'er made of them was to
help suppress indubitable and out
rageous frauds in the great cities.
But it was also truo that they were
only occasionally of any consequence
whatever. Now wo do not behove it
to be by accidont. that tho first elec
tion hold without any federal re
straint, and under tho conviction that
thoro will bo none, should result in
turning over sovoral Southern states
to the Republican party. It is easy to
believe that tho spoctor of “negro
domination” has been a real bugaboo
to the people, and that they had been
made to believe, by constant
iteration of partisans, that it
would como to pass under tho
compulsion of tho federal law exer
cised through tho machinery of elec
tions. Absurd as tho thing is, there
is no doubt that this conviction pre
vailed largoly at tho South, and
turned many votes to tho Democrats
that would naturally have gone else
where. With the disappearance of
all possibility of the imposition of au
thority from without, the people turn
toward a natural division on tho lino
of local issues. The moment that
they do that, the Democratic
party has no longer a monopoly of
power. Thoro is no reason why tho
breach in the solid South should over
be closed, or why tho states of that
section should not presently become
as doubtful and as hotly contested as
those of any other part of tho Union.
When that happens, justice cannot be
denied to tho negro, and tho eager de
sire to obtain votes will compel re
spect for tho suffrage whore tlio white
vote cannot any longer bo hold solid
by a threat that has lost all meaning.
A I’oresrone Conclusion
The St. Louis Republic, Kansas City
Times and other papers are joining in a
cry that tho next Democratic nominee
for tho presidency must bo a Western
man, but thoy give no intimation as
which man it should bo. If a Demo
crat of national size is to bo taken
from west of tho Mississippi, he .must
either bo now masquerading as a
nameless dark horse, or olso one will
have to bo imported before tho moot
ing of the next national convention.
However, the question is of little con
sequence. It is as certain as anything
in the future can ho that while the
Democrats of the West may select the
next nominee, tho Republicans of the
whole country will select tho next
president.—Tlmes-Star.

Auxin After the Farmer,
A plan is on foot for the union of
tho various farmers’ societies In one
groat organization. Tho headquarters
of tho promoters of tho scheme are in
Chicago, and it is said authoritatively
from there that If the Patrons of Hus
bandry, who number 250,000; tho
Farmers’ Alliance and industrial
Union, 1175,000; the Farmers' Alli
ance, 100,000; the l’atrons of Industry,
75,000, and tho Farmers’ Mutual Ben
efit association—altogether numbering
N,50,000—will but unite their strength
they can do heretofore unthought-of
things. This Is open to tho suspicion
of being another plan to bring ubout
opportunities for some sot of ambi
tious schemers to use tho farmer for
their own ends. And it would soem
that tho avorage agriculturist has al
ready oxporioneod quite enough of
that sort of thing, lie 1ms had an
object lesson In tho past two or throe
yoars that should rumaln in his mind
to his maternal benollt for many yoars
to como.
A great organization of tho sort
proposed would nocessarlly bo under
tho control of an army of salaried
officials who would bo governed by far
different motives than tho average
official who finds himself with that
I peculiar sort of power, If they did not
make their positions a matter of po
litical barter anil sale and use all
; their power for tho benefit of anybody
j but tho tiller of the soil. The farmer
| will got the more lienollt from tho so
ciety to which ho belongs tho closer
that society Is limited to tho section
of the country and tho particular in
terests that affect, his social wellfaro.
It would 1st well if he would glvo a

make a business of using him for thoir
own personal gain, and who, as soon
as he is squeozod dry on one lay pro
ceeds to open up some now bunco
game by which to squeeze him again.

Tho only pogf on which the “tariff
reform” theory hango is tho claim
that free trade or a low tariff cheapens
things to consumers. A high tariff
raises prices, it is said. The lowering
of the tariff shonp.l pjwqy prims C)
consumer, or the whole “t&riff reform”
scheme falls to the ground. llow
much have prices gone down since tho
passage of tho Wilson-tlorman bill?
Has the consumer been advantaged at
all? There is indisputable evidence
that tho forolgn producer has boon
benefited. Tho reports recently re
ceived from American consuls say
that a marked improvement is noted
in tho manufacturing districts since
tho enactment of tho now tariff. A
notable feature of tho situation
in Bradford and Glasgow is “the
strengthening of prieos.” Worsted
coatings, it is reported, havo increased
from four to eight per cent in price
above tho lowest quotations of the
dull season and tho same is true of
dress goods. As to many other articles
the tendency of prices is upward. In
consequence, manufactories are run
ning full time and some havo orders
that will keep them in operation for
six months with more hands than
were over before employed and at ad
vanced wages. It is easy to see where
a good share of tho benefit of tho new
tariff goes. No American buyer has
yet been stunned by having goods
offered to him at lower prices. Tho
difference between tho old customs
duties and the now seems to flow
largely into the pockets of foreign
manufacturers. — Cincinnati Times

fraud has mado Its appearance upon
the larger denominations of our gold
coins. Now ami unworn pieces are se
lected, that they may circulate with*
less suspicion, and the circuinfrence
and weight slightly reduced, to the ex
tent, say, of 75 cents to a dollar, by
turning down the milling on the edge
and remilling It In the absence of
scales this fraud can only be detected
by comparison with a piece that one is
sure has not been tampered with. Sev
eral of suoh coins have been stopped at
the lloston sub-treasury. Thoy were
chieily tSO gold pieces.
IlsrdlnrH of tlis Crape Myrtle.
Philadelphia la about aa far north an
the crape myrtle grows hardy. Though
killed to the ground, it will push up
and flower like a herbaceous plant.
Possibly It would give an attraction to
gardens in this herbaclolis way, much
farther north than Philadelphia. Sev
eral correspondents write that It Is not
always killed down even so far north
as Philadelphia. One at Chestnut Hill,
a part of Philadelphia, instances a spec
imen live to six feet high, which must
have passed several winters unharmed.
