The Southern Pacific Land Grab.

We have not been without repeated as
surances during the last six months that Secre-
taY Tell1r was abou! to pronounce against
the impudent application Of the Southern
Pacific railroad for the land subsidy granted
by Congress to the Texas Pacific, which the
latter never acquired. That the Secretary,
however, has not pronounced such judgment
is copspicuously shown by another announce
ment that he is about to do SO. We shall
greet with signal satisfaction such decision Of
Mr.. Teller. BY any other he would dishonor
himself and his high office. Yet it is due to
Mr.. Teller to recognize the fact that there is
great deal in the boot at which he could
barter his honor for the assured infamy of
turning over the land to the corporation that
is dishonest enough to ask for it, and un-
scrupulous enough to expect it. 1t is not a
common thing for the Goulds and Hunting
tons to be denied the spoil they seek in
covert ways. But we trust the Secretary will
not longer Withhold this decision, but give II at
once the form and force Of an official record

The Temnerance Cause.

On the roth instant the anniversary Of the
late Father Matthew's birthday, the Cooper
Institute, Of New York. was crowded with en-
thusiastic admirers Of the great apostle. There
were doubtless many present who knew the
popular deeedant and had heard his voice on
occasions when he called together by thous-
ands the earnest advocates Of the great cause
Of temperance in lis early days There was
then but the one great impressive speaker on
temperance At times Mr.. Barnum would en-
terrain the public, in his way, with au anec-
dotal narrative Of temperance experiences.
But to the cause Father Matthew gave all his
time energy aud industry. There is no doubt
that he delivered more temperance addresses
in his day than were ever delivered in any
cause by one speaker. All were oratons Of
high ORDER adapted to promote the best good
Of society and Of the human race.

The Mexicans severely critcise General
Crooks Indian policy We do not, ourselves,
see the qualities in General Crook which are
measurably conceded by the Government.
His presence is not Of any authority with the
Indians. He designs to rule them through
his ability to do them service, not his ability
to ohastise them. We regard this a long
recognized error. There have been 20 years
OF Cancellation practced toward the Indian by
the Government agent, and the Indian bureau.
The country has had enough of it. 1t is APP
parent that in General Crooks campaigns the
Indians have their own way. He seeks no
reign of force over them, does not dsarm or
intimidate them. He pleads their cause with
the Government and the departments. He is
essentially the prochein ami of the Indians.
And while he is claiming reservations for
them, and supporting, by his intercession,
their demands Of every kind, it is we'll known
that the mountains of Mexico are full of them,
ready for the war path upon the slightest pro-
vocation. We hope when spring again strs
in the pulse of the red man, and the time is
again arrived for the settlers to be wary, that
General Crook will be made to give place to
another sort Of warrior. We want an uncondi-
tional Indian fighter.

The New York Semi Weekly Evening
Post Of October 2, 1885, says: "Mr. Murray,
of Adirondack and other fame, and for some
time popular minister in Boston, has taken
to lecturng against the received Christian
theology, beginning on Sunday in this city.
The lecture was, however, probably simply
"prelude" to the announcement that he was
going to deliver 100 lectures throughout the
country, and would afterwards open a law
office in San Antonio, Texas, and that he
lowed few debts, which he would paw in
"a short time" The law is a profession.
however, in which success is so difficult that
nowbody can well begin il too early, and
gentleman who is going to enter it with gray
beard and hair has not day to lose, especially
II he has few unsatsied debts. We would
therefore suggest the abandonment of the
hundred Lectures, and the prompt opening of
the San Antonio Office, and the postponement
OF any further demolition Of the Pentateuch
and the theologians. They will always keep,
and Mr.. Murray can take them up after he has
built up his practice and settled with his
creditors The latter have 10 times more i'm.
portance to him than the theologians.
