The scheme linds its motive in the laek of suitable domestic servants in New Kngland and in the deslro of certain original abolitionists to place tho fieednien in a condition of civil liberty.

A recent visitor to Oklahoma avers that at leuit a thousand people witness the arrival of the passenger trains dully at Guthrie and Oklahoma City. It is said that nearly all the contests around Kdmond have been compromised, the sooner generally selling out to those who legally entered the territory.

A largo number of Oklahoma citizens have been contemplating an organization to be known as the They consist of the fellows who are not 'sooners.

Detroit has an art school, the principal beneficiaries being a class of young women who are learning to be Jtaphads and Angelos. The conductor of the art school is Prof. John Ward Dunsmore, who was imported from Kngland to assume command of the coming Jteecntly l'rof. Dunsmore issued an order that, all pupils must be punctual in attendance, or submit a written excuse for their absence. This worried the young ladies, but they bore the wrong with dignified silence.

To-day Dunsmore issued another law; no pupil should bo allowed to chew gum during tho sessions. This assault upon the free-born American's dearest lad was too much, and an indignation meeting was held. The boss gum-chewor of the class was made and she declared that the object of the meeting was to protest against British tyranny. Jly a unanimous vote, the young ladies decided that l'rof. Dunsmore must go or they would desert the school in a body and let art follow physio to the dogs.

The directors of the Musiun of Arts have not less than $200,000 invested in the enter- irise, and have a long-time contract with rof. Dunsmore. Tho action of the young women places them in an unpleasant predicament. If the Professor is retained the class will disert. If he be removed, lie will appeal to the courts to enforce payment of his salary during the time for which he was employed.

There is a tradition among the Cherokee that be fore Ihev left this part of the country tho chiefs of the tribe concealed in caves large quantities of silver, gold and copper.

An old Indian woman in the nation, it is said, has revealed the hidingplacuof the wealth and the live men have been sent here to look for it.

Senator Stanford, hi presenting his resolution to tho senate relative to tho government loans on real estate, said: 'J'he government bond is valuable to the holder on account of the interest it uns. In its energetic factor in the tran sactions of men it only amounts to tho ereontages It draws; but when the bona holder, by depositing it with the govern ment, receives back 00 per cent, in government bills 00 per cent, of its value becomes energized into an active commodity. giving employment to the energies ot the country. In like manner, if tho farmer were able to borrow from the government without interest a certain amount of Us bills, giving his farm as security, there- ore, to that extent Ins land would be come an active toree and he would be enabled while glvingeniployiiient to tho ex tent oi the money loaned him to increase its value to the lull amount of the loan. bus the government loan would he do- lug dotible duty.

Now the activities of this money do not terminate with its expenditures by the farmers, and those who have received it in their turn will make use of it as an energizing factor hi tho orces oi lite to an indefinite period. AS money employs labor it brings lo 1 i a continuing force labor begetting labor as certain as its fruits are valuable. Another way by which we can appre ciate what money actively used may per- orm in (ho settlement ot balances is to bo found In the value of commodities pro duced and exchanged compared with tho amount of money in circulation. How far ttie boundless resources 01 our country shall be put into aeiivity depends not only upon the active industry of our people, but upon the power necessary to induce that industry, and it should lie the fostering caro of the gov- nment to see that such industry re ceives every encouragement.

If these proposed loans could be made by the government without risk do not think that there would be any serious obstacle in the way of the accomplishment of the object of my resolutions. In my opinion ample protection would ho attorded the government if it limited its loans to one-half or quarter of the assessed valuation ot the property given as security and upon tho appraisement of government olhccrN especially selected for this duty, it seems to mo that the great thought of humanity should be how to advunc'j the great multitude ot toilers, increase their power of production and elevate their condition. To me, one of the most effective means of placing at man disposal the lon-e inherent in the Baltic of property is through lurnishiiig a bountiful supply of money based upon unquestioned and secure Dry lKitii'H, Washim; ion, March 1 1.

Two thousand men and teams aro now at work in constructing irrigating ditches in the valley of the Arkansas river in Kansas and Colorado. The Shawnee county Farmers' AUianco numbers over 3,000 members. This is a pretty good showing, considering that none of the members live in Topeka.
