POLITICAL POINTS.
HILL AND TELLER AT OUTS.

Appointments Tho News OF !
tho Day.
There are very unpleasant relations be- |
tween Senator Hill, of Colorado, and Sec
retary Teller, of the interior department, |
growing out of removals of Hills friends |
from that department, and also, as alleged
by Hill, of Misrepresentation of his
language and purposes by Secretary
Teller" The quarrel has grown to such
size that the senator has written long
letter to the secretary, in which he COM |
plains bitterly of the latter's behavior to-
wards him, and attacks vigorously Mr..
Teller's management-or, in MIR. Hills
opinion, mismanagement-of the de-
partment over which he presides."
Referring to the lease of the Yellowstone
National park he says Mr.. Teller devised
and dictated the terms and then allowed
his assistant secretary to take all tho
blame and public disapproval which fol-
lowed its execution. After Congress had
restricted the lease of ten acres the secre-
tary evaded both the letter and the spirit
of the law, and practically gave the Rufus
Hatch syndicate monopoly of the entire
park. In dealing with the questions
which have arisen in connection with the
public domain, and particularly those
growing out of the lapsed land grants, he
charges Secretary Teller with acting in
the interests of the great monopolies and
against all tho interests of the gov
ernment and the people. He also
asserts and attemps to show that
Secretary Teller has been connected with q
number of land frauds in Colorado. Sen.
Hill charges the secretary with having
caused to be published "unfair and inac-
30 >c Al De- Ssckc tn
ments and requests - that tho secretary
has violated ordinary courtesy Gin re-
peating to newspaper correspondents for
private interviews )" and he asserts that
the secretary's administration of his office
has been I" in the interest of mOnopOlies,
and against all the interests of the govern
ment and the people," He also asserts
that in number of instances "persons
notoriously unfit and incapable have been
given places, while experienced and able
employees have, without any assigned rea
son, been summarily dismissed from
places in the department..
