MM . -- »AY» JUNE 5, 1889. 'lliTKIS, Editor. PAPERKSt * 0O.*S Newspaper Advertising spruce Street), where advertising "IT'S--*» YORK- 8T Oklahoma seems to have sur- | passed our expectation in the peaceful- ^|aess and order of its population, which, Softer the first rush, steadied down to sober life. But it seems to be steadily losing its population. Everyone seems to be disappointed. 1ST Some Months ago Democratic and Mugwump newspapers were remarking J/,, that "Harrison would not be much of a President," that he would be "under the 1 thumb of the bosses." They are now by equally loud in the whine that he is too much of a President. Republicans are |§f?r not grieving over the situation. I® fgp" The income of John D. Rockefeller, ' the oO king, is estimated at$20,000,000, and "every night he goes to bed he is ^ $54,764 richer than he was the night be- I fore." This must be a great inducement for Mm to go to bed every night. There J are hundred of young men who wonld be richer than they were the night before if ^ they were to go to bed before midnight. tried officiate under the pretense that, they were "offensive partisans." It ha* been honest in pretensions but fay more dishonest in practice than the frank, rep­ resentative public service which does not work behind a mask., It has been dem­ onstrated that it can be. used as a cloak for favoritism, to shut out those who de­ serve recognition for services rendered the party which elected the appointing power, and therefore for services ren­ dered the people. A screen for cowardice and falsehood in high official places is not useful nor ornamental in a government by the people. Fortunately the Mugwump civil service is uot so dangerous as its friends pretend. Its harmfulness lies in the ease with which it can be evaded by favoritism, hypocrisy and falsehood. It stimulates public lying, but ite account with the public shows that, besides badly filling many public offices, it is a pretense and a shadow--a bugaboo to keep back frank and honest ambitions at the gate, and a hole in the rear of the tent to let in jug­ glers and adventurers. 4« • 1^! Is* Th«i ! terrible flood, caused by the bursting of a reservoir, at JoTiristotrn, £ Pa., last week, in which a town of 35,000 ' inhabitants was totally destroyed and - •\ from 10,000 to 20,000 lives lost, was the most appalling calamity that has ever visited the United States. The details are sickening in the extreme. Fuller par­ ticulars can be found on the inskfo jtftges of this paper. < - IflT The Cairo (ID.) Citizen says of the Chicago drainage bill: "This water-way, if constructed, will not only furnish a perfect system of drainage for the city of Chicago, turning it into the Illinois River but will open a navigable channel from Lake Michigan'to the Mississippi River. Strong objections were made to the passage of the bill, but we are inclined to think that the Legislature did the right thing in passing it. It is a stupendous public work, and we think, as fjee from objection as any puplic tfork of a similar character in likely to be." This is a fair way to look at the undertaking, and there is certainly nothing alarming in it to other parts of the State, except the .. - Th6»&mo&n Commission* The dispatches from Berlin announce that the Commissioners representing the United States, Germany, and England have nearly concluded their labors in connection with the Samoan question. It is understood that the autonomy of Samoa will be duly recognized, and American interests there, as asserted by the State Department, guaranteed pro- tqftiou. The Berlin dispatches state that the prompt agreement of the Commission upon the points in controversy was in large measure due to the fact that the American representatives had specific instructions from their Government up­ on every point. This is in happy con­ trast with the shifting and vacillating attitude of Secretary Bayard in his for­ eign dealings. This sudden change in the attitude of foreign Governments to­ ward the United States is one Of the most significant illustrations of the fact that it was the American idea which repudiated the Cleveland-Bayard Admin­ istration and placed Harrison ill, com­ mand of the ship of State. How other* See It. Minneapolis Journal.---The dicker by which the bdodler McGarigle of Chicago was allowed to walk into court Friday wheii under sentence to the penitentiary, secure a new trial, withdraw his plea of not guilty, plead guilty, receive a sen­ tence to pay a thousand dollar fine, pay it> and walk out a free man, all in half an hour, was one of the meanest tricks ever played on the blindfolded goddess of jus­ tice. If McGarigle had been a common thief and had stolen a ham or an over­ coat, the regular proceedings of the court would never haye been suspended out of consideration for him; the court would not have treated him with such marked evidences of regard, nor have af­ forded him every facility to escape as far possible, all the annoying and un-~ pleasant feature^ of an arraignment as a criminal. But what a disgusting traves­ ty upon justice! Minneapolis Tribune >--As if the Cronin tragedy were not a sufficiently heavy dose of outrage upon law and justice, McGarigle, the notorious boodler, ap­ peared upon the scene to perform in the role of harlequin between the acts in the bloody drama. The farce would have been highly entertaining if it had not been a gross caricature upon justice. Just think of the true significance of this performance! Here a man, charged with wholesale boodling, a fugitive from jus­ tice, appears in court, after having re­ ceived assurance of protection from the officers of the law, and parleys with so­ ciety, negotiating as to the terms of his surrender, and is let off with what to him was a trivial fine. In other words socie­ ty treats the criminal and public thief on a par with itself, which is tantamount to descending to his level of morality. It is immaterial whether or not the0 perform­ ance was justified by technicalities of law. It was none the less unseemly, it was none the less a gross outrage upon the public conscience and public justice. If such a farce could have been performed anywhere outside of Chicago it is time that the spirit of the law be exhnmed from the grave of the letter. If-- • Foolish Mugwump Tactics. •> It is comical to note the frantic efforts oar good friends, the Mugwumps, are making to keep Mr. Cleveland before the public. One of the illustrated organs of Mugwumpery, in a picture of the centen­ nial banquet made the late occupant of the White House the principal figure. The President and Vice President of the United States were represented as sitting at the same table, but they were cast in the shade by the portly figure of the idol of tiie Mugwumps. This is a good specimen of the way in which the late free trade candidate for the presidency is being boomed by the political nondescripts whose favor he strove so hard to gain during his occu­ pancy of the White House. They are even talking of forcing the Democratic party to put him in nomination again for the presidency. With him it is a case of " Barkis is Willin'." The Mugwump incense has evidently blinded him, and it looks as if he has been persuaded that there is a chance of his being elected again to the office that lie filled in a way quite acceptable to every Anglo-maniac in the land. Hie Mugwumps in trying to boom Mr, Cleveland are thinking more of them­ selves than they are of him. They feel that their fortunes are indissolubly linked with his. They took to them selves the credit of placing him in the White House, and they are now doing their best to keep him before the public in the hope that something may turn up y^o make him a presidential candidate. These tatties of the Mugwumps are ex­ tremely amusing. They are not likely to IJB Cleveland much good.--Irish WorkL Several physicians predicted thai Asa IJ. Rowley, druggist, of ChKiMf would soon have consumption caused all lajg^avated eme of catarrh. Custom­ ers finally induced him to try Clarke's Extract of Flax (Papillon) Catarrh Cure. He says: "The result was unprece­ dented. I commenced to get well after* the first application and am now, after a few weeks, entirely cured." It will do the same for you. Price $1.

Looking at them the other day I was struck with a curious feature Of the entire list Mr. Blaine is the only man who wears mustache or beard. Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Frelinghuysen wore deep fringe of hair about their throats, but nothing on their chins or upper lips. Hamilton Fish and Martin Van Buren wore side whiskers, but no> beards. It was only a few years ago that the beard began to be regarded as at all tolerable. Our forefathers wore clean faces, and many of them regarded a hairy, cheek as an evidence of savagry, The first Presi­ dent to wear a beard was Abraham Lin­ coln. No President before his time wore either beard or mustache, and most of them were smooth of face. After Lincoln, Grant at times wore a full beard. Hayes and Garfield wore full beards, and the present Chief Executive has hair all over his face. Mr. Harrison's grandfather shaved his face clean every morning.-- Washington Letter. Mufwamp Hypocrisy. No feature of our official affairs has «lone so much as the Mugwump Civil Ser vice has to shake the confidence of the people in the truthfulness, consistency and integrity of high public officials. It has established rules and examinations that practically debar men of experience and sense, while they admit flocks of po­ litical parrots who can answer questions which have only the most remote rela­ tion to the position they seek. It has swallowed machine politicians of the worst type and remqved honest and IN many communities there is a ten dency on the part of a certain class of people to bow the knee to money, man who can drive a dashing team wear fine broadcloth and cut a HMTI generally, mill be fawned upon and courted to an extent that seems highly ridiculous to a disinterested onlooker, Pope says; "Get money, money still and then let virtue follow, if she will." This seems to be the principle on which many work. A stranger comes into onr community, we fail to ask whether he is an honest, worthy man; we judge from the clothes and equipage that he is rich Accordingly we^will extend to him a cor­ dial welcome, and pass by the door of the worthy, modest man by his side, even though when the former has wealth the latter has morality, worth and in telligence. The straggles of worth against riches has sent many a man of genius to his last resting place, while the successful money getter, who has stifled every feeling of humanity, heeds not the cry of the poor and is borne aloft on the .shoulders of fame by the devotees money, who are only too willing to bend their necks, willing especially to the juggernaut of wealth. These things should not be, and more especially in a community where the people are mu­ tually dependent upon one another. A person's standing should be gauged by worth, morality and intelligence, and until we make it our standard, we are a long way from the right way.--Ex. to stay their agreed ect all people to according, to the Wig, which necessi- y scrimmage anion sr toilirs on one side and retching merchants on We always have* and uturei be plain and pre- tating what we have t«> 8eU, alid at a small advance, to defray^ expenses and lav up a dime, if possible, is our entire ser­ mon cm this belied item. yei|r-> of successful experience among fierce (50 per cent less than" cost) competition justifies us still in using old experience in buying the best goods only, for cash, on tho best competitive markets 111 the great west dnd of­ fering them, ss heretofore, at a small legitimate advance to out many worthy patrons whose home made intelligence we will, and cannot, abuse and insult by 5J) per cent than cost t*r " ^ t ^ T >tal. ...#247,104 80 LIABILITIES.
