Is To seize land which belongs to the Indians
and is conii.m to them by solemn treaties and
by Acts OF Congress. Taey have no more
moral right 10 rob the Indians of Their land
than to steal their sheep and cattle. Tie legal
aspect OF their project Is no better than Its
moral aspect Section 2,i1S of the Revised
Statutes declares that every person who

States 70 any Indian tuhe, or attempts to sur
vey su"h lands or to designate any OF the
boundaries h. marking trees or otherwise, IS
Liable 20 a penalty OF $1,000" The same
section gives the President power 10 employ
military force 10 remove any such persons from
the lands If the Kansas party should evade
the frocps that are watching them at the line,
they will certainly be arrested and expelled
from the Territory. Ii is pure insanity for
them 10 talk If resisting the United States Gov

necessary to repel their land-s;ealing exDedi-

prnblcm for Congress to solve is to induce tie

PRICES ND PR0DrcTION.

The banks of this city have made Il credita-
Bile effort TO set themselves right. Loans were
contracted T11, al 800 last week, in part by
the payment OF commercial paper falling due
about December 4, in place of which new
loans were not effected and in part Ivy the
calling OF loans on stocks and bonds. In con-
sequence all the markets have been in fever
ish state, with general tendency to decline
in prices. Three heavy failures IN the coffee
trade have disturbed confidence, although 1t
should be understood that the condition OF
that trade is due to causes which do No. affect
other branches OF business. Its disastrous
state is largely due to the repeal
of the duties on coffee and to the great spec
ulations which followed. The average price
of all coficcs imported was pushed up TO
nearly 20 cents per pound, and only
285, j69219 pounds were imported, in
the fiscal year 1874 This stimulated
excessive production. II takes about
five years for the coffee plant to attain
its yield, and in 1879 the imports were
377, S4S. Alb pounds, and the average price
12.5 cents, and in the fiscal year 1880 the
imports were 49, $50 1927 pounds, and the
average price about 12.5 cents But the
syndicate which had successfully ruled the
price in former years, though it sustained
prices with some success last year, was crushed
at last by the enormous importations which
high prices had invited. Failures thus caused
imply no weakness i'll other branches of trade.
The contraction of loans and the stringency
of the money market, however, did cause
considerable reaction. Again and again it
was supposed that permanent relief had been
gained; now because important banks had
ceased to send money to the West, then be-
cause private lenders showed a willingness TO
renew loans at moderate rates, and again be-
cause the Committee of Ways and Means
voted in favor of three per cent bond, or be-
cause million or so came from Boston and
Philadelphia. But temporary ease was in
each case followed by greater stringency,
and there was more real presslue for money
on Saturday, after good bank statement
than there had been at any other time. In
fact. it became generally understood at the
close of the week that real freedom from
stringency could not be expected until after
| the january payments. The consequence In
! the stock market was unusual feverishpess

anything of the history and practice OF his
party can have the assurance to ask that the
Jeflersonian tests be applied, and that candl-
dates be examined as to their fitness, capacity,
and fideity-the party has long looked upon
these as obsolete-but they might demand that

rather than general decllne, though the flrc-
tuations during the week were Vioient anu
some important stocks declined severely. I'D
many branches of trade the monetary
situation caused halt OF speculation'
and when speculation is excessive
halt usually means collapse. Cotton
dropped over 80 points from Saturday 10
Wednesday, and has since been unsettled'
Prices of print cloths recelcd, and the SAFES
of the week were only 10000 pieces against
n production of 10000. Large auction safes
of tea were made mt reduced prices. Mess
pork, having fallen in three previous weeks
from s15 80 per barrel, dropped last week
from S14 so to $13 rs; and there was a de-
cline in lard. Wheat dropped during the week
about cents bushel, corn about CENTS
rye 4l2 cents, and oats 1l2 cents.
The banks made no gain in reserve; thelr
only improvement was by contraction OF loans'
The Imports of specie were $2,295,olS, not
including the $780, 800 reported on Satur-
day and the Assay Office paid out $2,Sll,I6o
during the week, While the Treasury bought
S1.118, 900 in bonds and yet the banks lost IN
specie and gained a little less in legal tenders
The Treasury added little to its com ana
nothing to It's egal-tender balance during the
week Once more, in short, all the gold I'M
ported during the week has vanished from
sight. Within the past four weeks, the banks
have contracted their loans $31, 0lO.SOO
and their deposits 81, 1928 900, but have lost
SlO.917.2OO from their reserve. Yet the net
IMPORTS of specie at NewYOrk during that
time have been 50, SSS, 1879, and, out OF
$40. SO5,3S9 thus taken from sight, only
1918, OG6 has been added to the balance
IN the Treasury here. During each period
of several weeks the same disappearance OF
gold occurs. The general sOundness OF bnsi-
ness il forclbly shown by the fact that con-
traction in loans OF $3l, 100000 III four
weeks has produced no disorder. there
"a a slight change in favor or thS
city in the rate of exchange at Chicago but
the rate at Boston is less favorable, and 1t Is
understood that the banks there are unusd-
ally short of money. The full effect of the
advance in rae By the Bank of England IS
not vet seen, but it ia noticed that no ship
mruts of sDecia from Europe have been re-
ported by cable since that advance. The
spcculations in wheat, cotton and stocks were
considerably reduced in volume last week.
and the exchanges at New-York were
&215, OGC, 900 less than those Of the previous
weea But there are still three or four weeks
to elapse before the money market can be ex-
ppcted TO become cmancipated from the con-
troll of a few private lenders. And IN the
meanwhile large sums must be gathered by
governm MS and corporations Tor January
payments. The large RECIPES OF specie on
Saturday and yesterday will help to swell
bank reserves later in the week, but there Is
reported more demand for money from The
interior than there was last week. and the
loan-market increased in stringency yesterday,
although the arrivals of gold were reported
carly In the day.

The late Lord Lyttcn did what no other literary
man not n professional dramatist, Of his time did
he gave to the stage two plays Tie Lady OF Ly-
on,D and "RIcEeiicu," which seem destined to
keep il. Now It appears that he lett IN manuscr pit
another play the scene laid in ancient H-toiia, and
the plot based upon " The Capuyes" of Plautus.

curious paragraph when find in TIE london Nelrs

Ferdinand and Miranda will be Traced III the relation
between Tyndarus and the Crock girl Tor whose

how there is aiways IN the late Lord Lyttons later
,yor, relation to be traced t. something which has
been written before aud by somebody else. OF
the clevernes of this author there Is no doubt We
are not sure that it not be rs trutufuy said OF

both plays move forward with a steady dramatic
interest and do not bore the audience. Some OF
