In recent article on female suffrage
in Kansas, the New York Independent,
an able advocate of the measure for Kan
sas, says: Though We were glad to
see woman suffrage tested in Kansas,
where it received so great vote as to
make the result a practical victory, yet
we should be sorry to see the same
question put at issue in the next election
in New York.
Just so. They were all glad to see it
submitted here. They would like to
have it tried here. But at home! All,
that's quite another thing.

1t seems that the friends of President
johnson admit he got the worst of it in
the passage at letters with Grant The
Washington correspondent OF the Gin
cinna6 Enquirer says:
Mr.. Johnson's friends complain very
much that he allowed himself to be
drawn into any such correspondence
with sonegof his subordinates. They
claim. that he should have issuHd his or
ders and then enforced them If neces-
,sary. by summary arrest and punish
ment of the offender. Never before has
President been thus involved with a
subordinate, and Mr.. Johnson's friends
regret that he should have been first to
set the example.

They have invested all they have In houses fences
and other improvements. The final sale only per-
fected June 0, 1885, assumes to cut or all settlers
date OF the pretended ratification or illegal treaty
This legally cannot and morally should not be
done. Again, the treaty only authorizes the
Secretary Of the Interior to sell unoccupied lands
Cherokees coded In Kansas. Only the residue
OF the neutral lands has been so sold. over half
million acres OF poorer lands was not included IN
the purchase by the Emigrant Company and the sale
without 1t vitates the whole. Still again the lands,
II not sold in body at . fixed price, were to have
been sold in parcels at an appraised value. The
Senate and Secretary OF the Interior have under
taken to do both.
This win open rich field for lawyers and It shows
the wrongfulness OF the whole system OF making
these secret sales OF Indian lands
senator Anthony did the country substantial SER
vice during the brief session or last month by an IN
auvertent exposure OF the way these transactions
are got through His speech was brief but not less
important than any one made at any session, how
ever long. Mr.. Anthony said
Very important bills passed both houses when
we knew there quorum have known treaties
sent ana yet nobody doubts the VALIDITY Of shess treaties
Senator does not mean TO say they wero
Mr. Anthony-No; "ratined" lido not know, but might
say they were negotiated here believe the Senator from
Kansas had charge OF them they Indian treaties they
were negotiated here.
Very much has been said and written concerning
MessrS McCull0ch and Van Dyck's secret operations
In government bonds and gold, and 1t is noticeable
by advertising for "proposalsn for the purchase OF
gold the secret sales OF bonds goes on the same as
ever.
II the facts concerning these secret Sales whether
OF gold, bonds or Indian lands, be rot fairly be-
fore the people an end to the wrongs can reasonably
be expected.
