Tho attitudo of the domocratio senators in congress seems to have been nothing unreaponnhlo in tho matter of a statohood com promise. In fact, with so small a difference between tho two par ties, it is strango that a compro mise could not bo offeoted. As has boon reported, and' ap peared in tho news columns of the Oklahoman yestorday, tho demo cratic proposition yv.s exactly like that of tho repuh'n'uins, ex cept in one particular. That was tho demooats asked that Arizona bo permitted to voto for soparato statehood, agregating itsolf from Now Mexico, after tho area now comprising it should havo attain eda population of 200,000. Tho republicans proposed that tho population should bo 300,000 when that event might tako place. Both parties agreed that in tho meantime and for the present the two territories of Ari zona and New Mexico should bo united. The solo and only dif ference was what might bo tho population when they should again soparato. And this was the only point of difference all along the line of statehood in tho later efforts to compromise. As to Oklahoma and Indian Territory both parties were agreed that they should be United in statehood in 1000, threo years hence, and that no .public build ings or constitutional convention should bo had until such union should tako placo. That was ex actly the position of the demo cratio" party "in Oklahoma during and 3ince, as well as preceeding tho last campaign. Tho demo crats of Oklahoma can well con gratulate themselves at this time that they have been endorsed not only by tho solid membership of the democratic party in tho son ate, but by tho solid republican membership of that body aa well in their position for single, im mediate and equal statohood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Tho old proverb is thus verified that "ho laughs beat who laughs last." It was derisively said during the campaign that the democrats of Oklahoma wero opposed to tho position of the democrats in tho senate, because the latter wore supporting the omnibus bill at that timo. It was explained by the Oklahoman that this claim of difforenco was not true that tho democrats in tho senate wero in tho minority and not responsible for the bill of the majority party that had passed tho house, and that when it camo to an issue of Oklahoma considered separately, aa if should have been instead of being hitohed up with tho two other territories, the democrats senators wero in favor of single statehood for our people, But that was not to suit tho republi cans in Oklahoma, who were op posed to their own party, and they continued to misrepresent tho position of democrats in this territory on the theory, perhaps, that misery loves company. Tho result of it all has been that the democrat party in Okla homa has como out exactly with the democratic party in tho sen- ato, in demanding single state hood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory. On tho contrary, please locate the republican party in Oklahoma with roference' to tho republican party in the Ben ate. Oklahoman . Court House and Jail. Tho board of County Commis sioners! has had under consider ation thu proposition of Messrs. Holland and Squiros, of Topekn, Kas., for the erection of a county court liouso and jail at this placo. Tho plans and specifications wero similar to thoso of tho court houso at Boloit, Kas., tho build ings to be of brick or stono, as tho board may hereaftor deter mine. They wero also to havo goneral supervision of tho work, inspect ing materials, making of esti mates, and all other work of ar chitects in tho supervision of buildings. Tho board agreed to pay tlio sum of 5 per cent of tho cost of said buildings, and in case said plans and specifications nro not accoptod by tho Sooretary of tho Interior, no charges aro to bo mado for such services. A Ludlclous Mistake. In yesterday's Oklahoman the big headlines of tho two leading front page articles were exchan ged, tho political article, rolativo fco tho candidacy for tho mayoralty of two prominent Oklahoma City mon being headed by a statement of tho arrest of "Big Ann", tho keeper of a brothel, and a scath ing denunciation of tho woman and her resort, with a detailed account of her iniquities, was headed by tho names of tho aforesaid prominent politicians. Wo wonder if tho editor hadn't a pleasant half hour when ho found it out, and wo also wonder how many ten conters it took to square things with tho candidates?
