Beiiator Ouro may not be able to prove Unit an attempt was made to bribe him, but ho has already succeeded In opening up another Indian deal of the kind which have brought shame to this land of tho free and home of the oppressed. The deal Involves land worth, at Immediate sale, about $30,000,000. It lies In Oklahoma and tho government has consented that the Indian ownurs shall dispose of It. They are billing to sell; In fact, most of them are Im patient to get the money. One J. F. McMurray hax obtained from them 10, 000 contracts to act as their agent. It has been agreed that his commission shall be 10 per cent. This would bring him the enormous fco of $3,000,000. Senator Goro learned of what was going on and decided to net. It was to Induce him to keep quiet, he declares, that a bribe of at first $25,000 and then $C0,000 vvus offered lilm. McMurray uvcrs that the couti.ictg came to lilm without his solicitation and against his desire. He explains that the Indians, Impatient because of the slowness of the government, held a council and called upon him to take the Job, on a 10 per cent, commission. "This," ho says, "I did with re luctance." As a reluctant gentleman Mr. McMurray certainly does shine. Perhaps he had another Job waiting for him with a $1,000,000 fee attached. Evi dently he goon made up his mind to sacrltlco his inclinations to his line of the downtrodden red man, for ho Immediately sent out Indians as agents, whom he paid the princely fee of $1 for every land contract they could get, and then proceeded to start things moving In Washington. Apparently, no attempt was made to deceive the Indians. Thoielu lies the sadness of the talc. Some of them would have been willing to pay Mc Murray 25 per cent. They testllled that their experience had taught them that even In obtaining things which the government had agreed to provide they must pay heavy attorney's fees. And, like children, they wanted the money at once, so that they could spend It Doubtless a. few of them would have, been willing to sacrillco half. This Is the condition of affairs which McMurray found provided for lilm. Certainly this was no land steal nothing so coarse as that. There are several names by which It might bo called, but Just now wo can't think Just which one ought to be applied Cleveland leader. 9 HOKi&m mil i ii i iiiibi ii mi ill iiiimn in h i 'W'f aztamauamKaaszxsxtamAxu.uiuim0 ffl --r- imill m I of j V 110 i saS iijj&i a miinMmi OF DOLLARS 1 Lost of the States' Money by Crooked or Incompetent.

Ai'pmciinxsro.v i.v gay.nok o.sii While the bulletins continue favorable there seems to be latent anxiety in Gaynor's case. There is believed to be a difference of opinion among tho sur geons and tho patient's Irritability in connection with tho refusal to admit any of the family but Mrs. Gaynor have a tendency, taken together, to throw a cloud of doubt over the matter nud to create considerable upprohension of danger In the public mind. Judge Gaynor Is generally recognized us unu of the most useful men In the country because of his stern Integrity, his honesty, his ability, his knowledgo of human nature, his humanitarian views and his forceful nature. Hence tho cuse will bo followed with an absorbing Interest The following paragraphs from tho news columns of tho prints show disquietude: The patient's irritability this afternoon and tho barring from the sick room of nil save Mrs. Gaynor and tho nttendlng phlclnns first gavo rise to tho disquieting rumors.

One physician, It Is said, holds that tlu bullets should be removed Instantly, while others maintain that they should t well enough alone ns long us thero Is no sign of infection. iioosnvnr.T to insukgu, There Is a report today that Roosevelt has Joined the Insurgents and will appear on tho platform In several western stntes during tho coming campaign. That ho Is an Insurgent on tho question of conservation1 and nlso that of opposition to tho aggressions of monopoly Is quite evident but what position he will take on tho extortionate tariffs Is not certain. That Is tho announcement following tho visit to Oyster Hay of Plnohot and Garfield. It may have far-reaching consequences for the scrtugthenlug of tho Pro rrssive movement now dominating such stntes as Wisconsin. Minnesota, tho Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon and Indiana muy lead to division and compel a fusion and reorganization of parties. Tho Progressives and conservative Democrats aro so closely together on tho tariff matter that It Is difficult to distinguish between their doctrines. Wu know of no astute Democrat who does not desire to malntnln sufficient tariff duties to keep the American mills running and we know of no thoughtful Progressive who will stand for any kind of tariff extortion und roubery. Uetwecn thoso lim itations most honest men can unite. ARMOUR MAN 'S . LEE, CAUGHT For Perjury Testified Fal sely About Meetings to Fix Prices. A PAIR llSTIMATK. The fair wuy to estimate tho receipts and expenses of tho government for tho past year Is to consider tho Punamu cuuul uu extra expense and the corporation tax collections extra receipts. Figuring on this basis It will be discovered that tho government failed to keep even. Or count both the Panama expenses and tho corporation tax receipts nud It will bo found tho government fulled to connect. Thero Is no doubt about tho corporation tax being an extraordinary means of revenue. When compared, Hide by side, on tho samo basis, that purt of tho new law, having to do with duties on Imports produced less revenue than tho Dlngley law In 1907. Hut let everybody consider thut tho Justlco und fairness of it law duos not depend on tho question of revenues. Wo might Imvo un oppressive, unfair mill drastic statute which would produce enormous revenues und wo might huvu a fair, Just und equltublo law whluh, "would not bo a largo revenue producer These seem to be the real facta In tho case.
