soUATTERs PLANNING 4 RAID on INDIAN
LANDS,

WASHINGTON, January 23.-The Presi-
dent has received Information that another
raid by squatter- upon the lands Of Indians
in the Indian Territory is being planned.
II will be remembered that similar raid
last year was stopped by the prompt action
OF the Government. The parties engaged
in the new attempt are believed to be the
same as those engaged in the former. They
have their headquarters at Wichita, Kansas.
The subject was discussed at the Cabinet
meeting this afternoon, and it was decided
that any such movement should be prompt
" suppressed.

THE past week was one Of unusual activity
IN the New York stock markets. National
and State bonds remained firm, and at times
showed an upward tendency. Railroad
stocks, particularly of Western roads, we're
unusually buoyant, and in some instances
attained prices never before realized. The
average advance In this class Of stocks dur
Ing the week was from to 10 per cent, and
IN some cases reached 204 per cent. The
advance Is due to several causes, princl-
pally the certainty that the per cent Re-
funding bill will become law, the liberation
OF large amount OF money through the sale
OF The Iron Mountain Road. and the great
amount OF foreign gold brought into the
country, over SG,00o,o00 worth of which ar
rived during the week.

LIE passage OF Burnside's little Educa.
tonal bill in the Senate is step forward in
the right direction. We are not altogether
satisfied with the provisions of the bill in its
| nhanclal application to education, for the
! reason that the per cent interest upo,,
the proceeds OF the sales of public lands
and patents Is clearly INADEQUATE for the
general extension Of education, and that it
Will DO many years before it can be made SO.
But this is Of little consequence as compared
with the great principle which has been
established by this vote, which includes in
the affirmative eighteen Southern Senatorial
votes out Of the total of forty-one. The SEN
ate has asserted that the Constitution author
ICES the use Ut the National revenues for the
education Of the children of the Nation, and
only six Senators record their votes
against it, and these six are men who arc not
believers In the diffusion Of education in any
manner. Having asserted this important
principle, the way is now open for some gun-
eral and radical treatment Of the whole SUBJ
lect OF National education. The action OF the
Senate In the passage of the bill is directly III
the course which has so often been urged by
InE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, and now is the time
Tor Congress to amend the bill and to give it
practical application by adopting another of
IHE Tn1BuSE's suggestions, namely: that
the proceeds from the sale of whisky should
be applied to the diffusion OF education. This
would give million dollars to every million
OF people, whereas the fund proposed by the
pending bill can yield but few cents pcr
capita, and not enough to accomplish any use
fu1 OF permanent result 1t would relieve the
people Of serious taxation, and in the present
condition Of the finances 1t will be no serious
Drain upon the Treasury, while from moral
point OF view it will be entirely consistent to
use the proceeds Of whisky to help cure the |
vice OF intcmpcrance BY education. Having
established the great principle that the Ma |
t1onal revenue can be used for educational
purposes, Congress now should certainlyseo |
lnat the amount of revenue is sufficient for |

Crowners quests on demnition, damp, disagree-
able bodies OF people who had decided the "be

got run over while standing In the way Of tho

on them for fixed fee, and mediate in Dutch
on the vanity OF mundane matters. He went
around among his friends, and In confidential
way opened his mind to them on hts sepulchral

OF thousands Of families, there would have beel
great crisis ere this But the Girl at service Il
America Of the boy. or two or three Of their
| toFelner. pay the rent year Ia and year out. Il
1he rent wns not ulure than E10 one girl in goot
place IN this city could pay 1t and hive none,
70 spare to contribute even more largely to tht
was keeptng root, Wages for girls have ranged
N that period from 81 to SIS month, and more
even twenty pounds year has not been an un-
common sum to be sent hot1e by one child. How
much .aics more lloera1ly those who made ampler
! gains poured their earnings into this common
cnnnnel It will never be possible to tell; but it
may bo estimated in the light Of the considera-
hsf 4fs 6y What IT, tep meht
was needed. but only by what they had.
The people Of this country have not only
Ri interest In the Irish land question, but
their Government should protest to Great
Britain against the continuance OF system
OF land laws in Ireland that renders it
necessary for part of the American people
| TO have such an onerous relief burden fast
| ened upon them. The United States has the
unquestionable right to protest against it.
The Department Of State should open
diplomatic correspondence inquirfng whether
Great Britain intends to perpetuate this land
system and the oppression and persecution
that attach to 1t, and whether her absentee
landlords have the right to levy such exorbf-
tant rents as necessitate these appeals to this
country for money to pay them. Is It right
that large class of the people Of this coun-
try should be morally compelled, in consid-
Grafton OF ties Of consanguinity, to pay the
excessive rents OF the Irish tenants to the
English landlords? !? Ought there not to be a
joint resolution offered In Congress at once
demanding that these landlords shall cut
down rents, SO as not to necessitate leyyfnga a
tax OF twenty to thirty millions year upon
American citizens?
Suppose there were living In Great Britain,
on account OF finding employment there,
several millions of Americans who had be-
come English citizens, and that landlords
were systematically and cruelty robbing their
relatives In this country, requiring the
former to send millions Of dollars over here
annually on account Of our unjust and op- |
pressfVe laws, would not Great Britain pro- !
test, and demand that such cruel and unjust ]
taxation should cease? Have we any the
less right to demand that this actual loss to
ourown people shall cease; that our own labor
ing people shall not be Impoverished to pay
rents to English landlords; and that this tax
upon our Earu-working men and women who
cannot afford to pay it shall be cut off Reso-
[utions were passed last winter In Congress
bearing upon the general question OF, SYM
patily with the Irish tenants, and National
slip was detailed to convey contributed food
tor the starving Irish, which was all right as
sar as it went, but the core Of the evil was

SOME of the Bourbon organs have been for
solue time claiming that Gen. Hancock re-
celved larger popular vote than Gen. Gar

support OF their statements. The Louisville

Its issue Of to-day publishes table showing
TINT Gch. Gar1ieid's vote was 1, 40o, $40 and
