L. Couch of Caldwell, president of the Payne Oklahoma colony, accompanied by Hon. Sidney Clarke of Lawrence, attorney for the colony, passed though Kansas City Sunday night en route for Washington. "Our began Captain Couch, "is to look after legislation in reference to the opening up of the territory. You see many of the eastern and southern members know very little about the subject and "what they do know is altogether erroneous.

They think the Indian territory is densely populated. The fact is the Oklahoma lands and Cherokee and public- land etrips contain no Indians at all. Befides they have a very faiut idea of the fertility of the land. We are going to Washington to state the facts to the committee on territories where the bills are now pending. "What is the status of the case at Washington "There are four or five bills pending before the territorial committee, one of which is that prepared by Mr.

Clarke and myself. We shall not push our bill if we find another more acceptable to the members. What we aim at is to secure the immediate opening of Oklahoma, the Cherokee and public land strips which contain 13,000,000 acres of unoccupied land, and the appointment of a commission to negotiate with the Indians with a view to securing their consent to the occupancy of their lands in severalty and the opening up of the surplus. Our position this point, also, is misunderstood. We want to deal fairly with th Indians and to make them liberal allotments.

The immediate openiag up of the lands I have just mentioned will in no way injure the Indians, as they are unoccupied.

C. Times. Evidence of Good Times. Courts and lawyers make a distinc tion in the class as well as the character of the testimony. In most hearing evidence is entirely excluded, and en-parte testimony is only admissible under certain circumstan- ces.

xne best evidence cenainiy oi the revival or decline in business is the decrease or increase of business failures, and still but little attention is generally given to this feature of commercial life and death. The total number of failures in the United States for last year, as reported to Bradstreet's, was 11,116, as against 11,620 for the year preceding. The significance of this is not so much in the of more than 500 fail ures during the year, as it is in the faet that the whole of this decrease is due to improvement during the last five months of the year. The first half of 1885, far from holding out any hope of a better frame of business, maintained instead the old ratio which raised the 7,635 failures of 1882 to 10,299 in 1883, and 11,620 in 1884. Had that rate been continued up to date, the failures of 1885 must have numbered from twelve to fourteen thousand.

But since last August when it first began to be evi dent that there was a real tendency toward business improvements, the number of failures has declined week by week, so as to make possible the decrease noted in the totals. Still more marked than this the decline of the aggregate liabilities represented by the failing concerns. The total liabilities for each foT years prior to 1883 was less than 5100,000,000. In 1883 it reached 175,966,000, and in 1884, 248,718,000. Last year it fell to less than half that sum, 000.

The percentage of assets to lia bilities, forty-six is slightly below the average. Everywhere now, through out the country, save on tne Pacific slope and in the territories, the tide of failures is rapidly ebbing. The concerns now going to the wall are the last fruit of the failure of the crop. The remarkable diminution of liabilities shows how little serious is the effect of these in the business -world.

The Knights of ibor is an organization that embodies many good principles, and they have it in their power to do much good, not only to themselves but to those who come after them. In their advocacy of the free school system there are many noble utterances, and their rejection of professional politicians evidences cl ear foresight. While up to a few years ago the of L's was but little thought of, to-day they have become a powerful organization, and if their strength will increase in the next five 3rears as it has in the past five, capi tal will no longer rule the world. There are many points of excollencv contained in tho principles of this organization, and if lived up to the world would grow better and the families of our country more prosper ous, happy and contented. It is the laborer that keeps in circulation every dollar of his hard earnings, and as the laboring class becomes more prosperous, so will the business en terprises of the country.

Capital has had full sway throughout the world while the laborer has bowed in submission to the demands of capital. It is time for a change. All the organizations of the Knights of Labor demand is a fair compensation for the services rendered, which en ables the wofkingman to provide only the necessaries of life for his wife and little ones, to educate his children, in order that happiness and contentment may reign supreme around the firesides of the working- men of this An organiza tion with such sentiments could not well be expressed by men who have not the interest of the country at large at heart, and the day may yet come when a man will be rated by his good qualities and the true principles of manhood instead of the amount of capital he possesses. The assembly in this city i 3 one among the largest in the state, representing the classes of laboring men, and already the influence for good by such an organization can be felt. Any thing that will benefit the laborer, is a benefit to every business enterprise, and it would not bo a detriment to the prosperity of the if the or it i its present number of good live members, Independence Monitor.

EAST MAIN STREET. HOME ATTRACTIVE, ritory who own their lands, the rest hold theirs by executive order. It is proposed to give the Indians land in severalty, 160 acres to a man or 360 ton family, allowing them to make their own selection, and to throw open the surplus for settlement. The pro ceeds from the land actually belong ing to a tribe is to be set apart, to be used in feeding and educating the tribos, saving that much of a drain on the treasury. The titles to all lands given to the Indians is to be held in trust for them by the govern xnent until they are able to take care of it themselves." "Shall you be able to get a bill through this winter?" 'I think we shall.

Secretary Lain ar in his aunual report said the Oklahoma country had been pur chased of the Creeks and Seminoles in 18GG and paid for in full. If congress pays any attention to this re port, there is no reason why the land; should not be opened to settler. If a bill is passed this winter, and the lands opened up in the spring, there will be 300,000 people in the territory within ninety days after the bill be comes a law. I am not exaggerating. The Payne colon which now num bars 13,000 people is prepared to move at any time.

There are 25,000 or 30, 000 people in the west not members of any colony, that will move as soon as we shall. I have received letters from all over the east making inqui lies as to when we intended to go. Thousands of people in every stat are only waiting for the passage of a bill to begin a grand movement on the territory." "What are the facilities for build ingr "As good as in in any state in th union. One-quarter of the Oklaho ma country is timber and there is ex cellent building stone in several pla ces." "It is generally understood that the cattle have all been moved out of Oklahoma. Is this the case?" "On the contrary they are still there.

That is what makes us indignant. Settlers have been denied entrance. and when they have gone in they have been driven off by troops. The cat tlemen have also been ordered off, but the order has never been enforced. I know personally that ten days ago there were 60,000 head of cattle in Oklahoma proper.

A few of these were brought up from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe strip, but most of them have been there all the time." "I have every encouragement to think that we will be successful in getting legislation this winter," said Mr. Clarke. "Tho cause has made great progress in the east within the past year. The people hitherto have been led to think that we were trying to deprive the Indians of their rights. They are now beginning to understand that we merely want the unoccupied lands thrown open for settlement, and that so far from robbing the Indians, are providing for their protection.

There seems to be a sentiment in both houses in favor of settling the Indians on homesteads. General Sheridan in his annual and supplementary reports furnishes strong arguments in favor of it. In my judgment not one good reason can be given why the benefits of civil government should not be extended over the Indian territory. The alarming prevalence of crime in that country mokes the step "imperatively cectsEErr. Then the railroads JE G-reat 0ffer.
