▼ention* Mr. MoGlendon It M*
sistant state leotarer and he
seems to think this would be in-
compatible with his daties to the
alliance.
But if we understand the alli-
ance it would make no difference
with a man's standing in it if he
tlid take part in a political con-
vention. According to our under-
standing of alliance principles
and practices a member has a
right to belong to the republican,
the democratic, people's or the
prohibition party or any other po-
litical party he chooser, and it
does not interfere with his duties
to the order. We suppose, how-
ever, that Mr. Mt-Clendon means
that it would not be best for the
work he is engaged in for him to
take too much stock in partisan
polities. This may be true, and it
may be wise in him, as he devotes
his whole attention to the alli-
ance, to let politics alone just as
much as possible.
But surely Mr. McClendon has
a right to take part in the deliber-
ations of any political party to
which he may belong without los-
ing his standing in the alliance.

Captain White of the Pacific
mail steamship Panama has shown
the stuff American sailors are
made of. An armed force of Sal-
vadoreans boarded his ship in the
port of La Libertad to take off an
American citizen named Patrick
Brennau. Captain White, when
informed of their mission,ordered
them to leave the ship at ouce
and threatened to throw them
overboard if they did not. They
saw that he meant business and
obeyed the order. The American
sailor is a man that will not do to
tritle with.

Some Facts About Cooke
County.
It was created in 1848 out of
Frnniu county, and was named in
h(.aor of William G. Cooke.
It is almost exclusively a farm-
ii j country, but is well situated
for stock raiding.
] The soil of the county is about
i equally divided, black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-

DON'T BE SCARED.
The Chickasaw legislature will
meet Monday. There seems to be
considerable anxiety among the
white people over there as to
what will be done, and many fear
that the permit law will be re-
pealed. We do not believe this
will be done, and if everybody will
be quiet there will be little or no |
hostile legislation. It is true there I
are men there who would go to
any extreme, but there are enough
cool headed men among the lead-
ers to prevent any rash measures
from being attempted. At least1
we would counsel our readers to
not be alarmed until they see
there is danger. To repeal the per-
mit law now would be to ruin every
prominent Chickasaw in the na-
tion. We do not believe they will
do it.
THE SITUATION IN CHILI.
We have not sufficiently stud-
ied the Chilian situation to exact-
ly understand the condition of af-
fairs. It is not clear to us whether
the row is between leaders inspir-
ed by personal ambitions or
whether it is a difference between
two sections of the country on
some matter of policy. If it was
the latter we may look for some
settlement of it soon, but if it
was brought about by ambitious
politicians there will be more
trouble. Chili has heretofore
been regarded as the most en-
lightened and progressive of the
South American republic, and it
is a matter of regret to us to see
it torn by dissension and devasta-
ted by war. We can but hope
(hat the trouble will soon be
over. Our sympathies have all
the time been with with the
rebels, as they were called, be-
cause it seemed to ns that they
represented the cause of popular
government. We shall watch
with considerable interest to see
what use they will make of their
viotory. If they restore order and
form a responsible government it
will be another argument in favor
of republican institutions.
POLITICAL FREEDOM.
We see that our old friend Mr.
McCleodoo denies that he was a
delegate to tlie third party con-
From the Territory.
Editor Hesperian:
Things are quiet around Tisho-
mingo. Everybody seems to be \
making ready for the legislature.
It is said by some of the militia
who came in town today that Cap-
tain Bowlin gave them their time,
which is to count from June 11 to
September 7. However, they are;
all expecting to be paid off as
soon after the legislature meets as
possible.
Judge It. L. Boyd has sold out,
lock, stock and barrel, and left
today for Purcell, where he will
probably embark in the hotel bus-
iness. The judge is an old hotel
man. a fine talker and very kind-'
hearted. We predict for him a
grand success in the hotel busi-
ness. He went by way of Ard-
more to see whether Bennett had
spilled all the beer.
The members of the Oil Springs
mining company are to hold a
meeting at this place September
10 to consider H. R
proposition, which they think of
accepting. If Mr. Deckcr suc-
ceeds in interesting some eastern
capitalists in the oil fields of this
country, and they begin work as
soon as expected, Tishomingo
will present a grander appearance
than she has in some time.
Mr. W. T. Simpson,a member of
the Oil Springs mining company,
has been prospecting for some
time and claims to have procured
some excellent specimens of sil-
ver. There is, beyond a doubt,
good oil and plenty of silver in
this country.
There is some talk of the Chick-
asaw legislature passing laws
against mining companies.
Miss Minnie McSwam, who has
been visiting in the town returned
to her home in Denison," Texas,
today.
Miss Annie B. Wright, one of
the most accomplished yonng
ladies of Tishomingo, accompanied
by Miss Ella Brasheas, left the
29th of the month for the Sacred
Heart mission where they will at-
tend school this coming term.
We regret very much that Miss
Wright went away, as she is an
expert in music and made sad
facesbrighten up by her sweet sing-
ingand excellent performances
on the piano.
D. O. Fisher has completed the
repairing of bis mill and gin, and
is now ready for wheat, corn and
cotton.

balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Red River borders the county
for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of;
24,602.
The assessed value of property
in 1890 was $7,160,659.
Improved lands sell from £10 to
*40 an acre.
Unimproved lands from *5 to
$15 per acre.
In 1889 the number of marriages
was 373 and the number of di-
vorces 28.
There are 86 public schools in
the county and in 1890 there were
4099 children of scholastic age,
and 87 teachers employed. Aver-
age wages paid to male teachers
$42.50 per month; female teachers
$38.85.
This does not include the city
of Gainesville, which has charge of
her own public schools.
The state paid last year $16,396
on tuition besides what came
from the county fund and from
district taxes.
In 1890 there were 151 mort-
gages recorded, amounting to
Decker's $348,975. , ol-- *
There were in 1890 185< farms
in the county.
There were in 1890 13,586
horses.
There were in 1890 39,240 cat-
tle.
There were in 1890 14,699 hogs.
In 1890 there were 36,091 acres
in cotton.
In 1890 there were 40,686 acres
in corn.
In 1890 there were 21,308 acres
in wheat.
In 1890 there were 608 acres in
sweet potatoes.
In 1890 there were 4062 acres in
millet.
In 1891 this acreage is largely
increased, and the finest crops
ever grown were raised.
The fruit crop is very large and
is increasing each year.
Cooke county is well adapted
to raising peaches, apples and all
small fruits.
The people of the county are
comparatively free from debt and
are in a thriving condition com-
pared with the population of
most agricultural counties.
Two railroads run through the
center of the county. The M. K.
& T. runs through from east to
west and the Santa Fe from north
to south, giving communication
with all the great cities of the
country.
