INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

Mr.. Reagan announces his purt
pose to push his interstate commerce
bill. He is satisfied the measure will
have fair consideration this winter,
because he can now have fair CONF
mittee, not one packed against him as
was the case under the administr alton
of Keifer. He insists he has been
much misrepresented; that he is not
against the railways but is simply
against wrong, and is trying to pre-
vent the railroads from doing wrong,
that he fully recognizes the value of
the railroads in the Development of the.
South and the West; but that this is
no reason for permitting them to ex-
ercise tyrannical and arbitrary pow
er of discrimination. He says his in
terstate commerce measures does not
seek to regulate the rate paid for the
freight and passenger traffic of the
country, bui to prevent extortion and
make the roads charge uniform rate
to every one for equal service. The
constitution, he thinks, clearly gives
the power to Congress to regulate in
ter-state commerce, and that is all the
bill proposes to cover. Discriminating
rates and treatment when entirely
within the states must be left to the
states to remedy. at has been

A WASHINGTON special to the
New York Herald says: "The
report comes from New York
that Mr.. Tilden very recently
called to him some of his
closest political friends and formally
discharged them from further service
to himself. It is asserted, on what
seems to be good authority, that the
old gentleman has definitely given up
not only all purpose of political ad-
vancement for himself, but also all
attempts to exercise the influence he
undoubtedly has in the party for the
advancement of others. If this ro-
port may be trusted. he has hidden a
cheerful but definite and complete
goodbye to politics."

Combined to Rob.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Some of the
grocers' clerks formed the B. G. union,
the object of which is to systemmat-
ically rob their employers. A rule of
the associatian is that each member
should, by fair means or foul, possess
himself of $125 a month, and deposit
it with Christian Krosse, of Brooklyn,
treasurer. Members would be given
$25O0 from the funds at the end of the
year, if they wished to go into busi-
ness. If sick, they were to be paid So
a day. Retail grocers have caused the
arrest of Krosse and a number OF
clerks. 1t is said Krosse must have
received something like $1,000 from
members of the society. Two clerks
who robbed a grocery store were to
day held for trial.

that is necessary to be known. The
trouble with all state legislation upon
the subject in the past has been the
insufficient means furnished for the
punishment for violating the laws
passed. My bill provides punishment
of a severe character, and in some
cases imprisonment. l further guard

people, or those loath to fight corpo-
lrations, by giving the United States

stitutional; and it quite sure that
its tendency is to lay violent hands on

HOMEsTEADs FOR INDIANS.

The opening of the Indian Terri
tory to white settlement is not mat
ter of immediate necessity, and we do
not think Congress will be disposed
to legislate at once in behalf of such
purpose. 1t can not be denied, how
ever, that the policy of herding the
Indians together in reservations con-
tiguous to each other has been wise
one. 1t would be far better to put
the Indians on the same footing as
the homestead settler. Force the diff
ferent tribes to make their selections
of homes on unappropriated domain,
and make the head of each family ae-
quire title on the same conditions as
other actual settlers. The propo-
sition has been made to
give each head of a family
one section of land, but why the In
dian should be given preference
over all other settlers is not under
stood. 1t might be well for Congress,
if the purpose be to place all the un-
settled Indians in the Indian territory,
to provide for their settlement there
within given time, say five years.
The best plan would bel to seqUestrate
the lands, not giving them to tribes
but to individuals, and require all to
make selections of homesteads within
that time. Let it be understood that
after five years they would be given
no more lands, but that they would
then be allowed to acquire them
in no other way than by pur-
chase. The Indian bureau is a
heavy item of expense to the govern
ment, and its early abolition ought to
be contemplated. By settling the In
dians in given time on homesteads,
not reservations, the surplus lands
now set apart for tribes could then lie
opened to settlement for whites. Of
course, where the government has
parted with title to large bodies of
lands to tribes, the sales or contracts
should be respected. The right
of eminent domain, even in
such cases, might be resorted
TO, and the Indians, after being forced
to take homesteads, could be paid for
lands condemned. These condemned
lands could then be placed at the dis
position of whites. We do not be
lievein dealing too hastily with the
Indians, but the government has been
dilly dallying with them to long and
should place limit of time when
their relations of the government
should be definitely settled. Five
years is long enough. At that time
the Indian territory might be opened
for settlement, and until it is opened
Texas will not be the looser by its
being closed against white settlers.

"Oahspe," which, they say, is direct
revelation from heaven, received
through the medium of Typewriter,
700 copies of which they have sold at
