chicago Times.
Several curious things have occurred in
connection with the telegraph troubles. As
all communications between persons in va
rious parts of the country by wire are sent
by dispatches directly or indirectly Inter
ested IN the agitation, any kilograms bearing
on the subject of the troubles become known
in a very short time to the Brotherhood. To
guard against giving information of their
movements in the matter, the officers OF the
company have resorted to cipher dispatches
when communicating with other officers or
subordinates regarding the threatened rup-
ture. The first of these dispatches
was sent on Saturday night
The Superintendent of the Chicago
office received several ciphers from the head
Office in Pittsburg. and he Immediately tele-
graphed the same. with a few additions, to
the minor offices in his Jurisdiction. The
operators vino are engaged ia the agitation
were the ones who dispatched them. They
Judged that they were instructions to the
sub-offceS to make preparations for emer'
gencies. The operators also sent a number
of special dispatches to Eastern newspapers
bearing on the subject, in which they were
amused at the eXaggerauOn OF the CORE
spondents. One espundent- Stated that
the moneyed and business men of Chicago
had expressed their sympathy with them,
and that they would be willing to back them
with 81 900 000a week There is no doubt that
the business men support the teegraphers in
the position they have taken, but the finan-
cial statement is absurd. The business men
might aid them with money, but not to any
such extent. The men have a further sup
port IN all the trade unions They are heart
lily in sympathy with the telegraphers and
would aid them financially if they needed it.
The outcome OF any demands which the men
may make is regarded by many to be con-
cession on the part of the Western Union
company. There are not enough operators
by many thousands TO supply the company's
needs and it is regarded as certain that the
necessities Of their business will oblige them
to give in to any demands which are not ex-
orbitart, provided they are backed by good
organization.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Those Fraudulent Individual Land Grants.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
My pen is indignant over the news from
the Department Of the Interior, The coun-
try has escaped, thanks to the vigilance of
the department in appointing special agents
to apprehend some individuals who have
undertaken to appropriate $50 acres apiece of
our public lands. My brain reels over the
news that an American citizen should at
tempt to lay claim to government land for
his private USE and that through fraud. The
nation would be alarmed over the report but
for the fact that with it the Secretary sends
out the information that most of the land
has been restored to the government
Through special agents over $4,000 acres
have been saved. How these individual
settlers managed the matter the
department does not say. Maybe they are
moving off their homesteads the day before
their times are out; maybe they have taken
lands under the timber act, and are putting
out few trees less than they agreed to- If
so, let every man be scotched. Let his wife
have divorce. The public domain must be
held sacred Since Congress aud the depart
ment have had such paternal care over it, it
is a matter OF rejoicing tnat swirl justice
overlook these individual scamps, and that
they did not have time to connive together
to resist the government. Let the Secretary
of the Interior push this whole question
of the private ownership of land to its bitter
end. These individual seekers after home
steads must be stopped in their rapacity.
Let the department increase the number of
its special agents and take vigorous steps,
without delay. Let not a maudln sym
pathy for homeless wives and children stop
the course of justice, There is land here in
Putnum county worth 800 per acre for
which the county records show no patent
from the government Let the Secretary of
the Interior take possession. There has
been great cry against railroad and corpor-
alton grants. 1 verify thought myself there
was justice in the cry | have changed my
mind. / see now where the public land is
going. Fifty-six thousand acresl Gracious
heavens On the other hand, railroad and
corporation grants are good. The fact that
the Secretary of the Interior has not restored
them to the government is abundant evil
dence. Did not Congress-an honorable
body-make these grants? Are not the titles
held above board? Are not open maps of

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
General Arthur entered upon the duties
of Chief Executive of the nation under
the most sad and embarrassing circumstan-
ces While he had the sympathy of all
right thinking men, there were also misgiv-
ings as to the future. These doubts did not
arise from distrust of General Arthur's pa
triotic motives or of his abilities, but the
condition of public affairs, growing out of
the rupt ure between the Garfield admins
tration and large and influential portion of
the Republican party, caused feeling of
uncertainty and uneasiness. Happily for
the country and the Republican party, and
thanks to the wisdom and conservatism of
President Arthur, the anticipated evils were
averted. The country is prosperous, and the
Republican party is united and harmonious.
The history of the SUGGESTIONS of vice-pres-
idents to the presidency is one of political
feuds and strifss. 1t is unnecessary to recall
those of Tyler, Fillmore and Johnson to
show how disastrous their policies
were to the party and to the
country. President Arthur has been
guided by high purpose to serve the coun-
try, and in that be has also served his party,
During his administration the Republican
party has been harmonized and placed in a
condition of vigor and strength. There is no
longer a doubt of its ability to win victory
in 1884. The peril that threatened it last
year is past. There are neither half-breeds
nor stalwarts. All are Republicans. So
much for the Presidents wise, able and pa
triotic course.
But this is not all. The vast amount by
which the Understanding public debt has
been reduced shows that economy has been
rigidly practiced, and that the interests OF
the country have been kept steadily in view
Taxes have been reduced, the civil service
has been reformed in accordance with the
recommendations made in the Presidents
two annual messages, reduction of the
hours of labor of government workmen has
been ordered, without decrease of pay, and
revenue districts have been consolidated in
the interest of retrenchment
The President has, on every question of
public import, taken the humanitarian side.
On the tariff he is with the laboring class in
favor of the just reward OF labor. He has the
confidence of the whole Republican party,
because he has earned it. The Democracy do
not dare to arraign his administration in
their partisan platforms.
The President has made a record upon
which the Republican party can go into the
campaign of 1884 with the assurance of suc-
cess. With that record, supplemented by
his nomination by the Republican conven-
ton, the country would be aroused to pitch
of enthusiasm not witnessed for half CEN
fury. n. c. A, RAYHoUsER.

of the wind been so great. 1t commenced
blowing gale of twenty miles an hour at

forty miles per hour, and for period of five

number of acres. Some of it is in dispute,
but the railroads are right, else the Secretary

Your editorial of yesterday against En-

our cheap but fine lands has no significance,
compared with these individual fraudulent
land entries on the part of our own private
citizens going West to find homes. Congress
should appropriate to the Land Office a half
million dollars to be used for purposes of
protection of our public lands from the
American farmer.

settler with break i'll his abstract, let him
be hung on the spot, and let his farm be con-
tiscated and be devoted to maintaining the
sincerity of the Department of the Interior.

Sensible Address.
PARIS July 16.-In the Chamber of Depu
ties, to-day, Challemel- Lacour, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, replying to questions, said
he believed there had been at least exaggera-
ton in the accounts of occurrences in NADIA
gascar. He was certain that if Admiral
Pierre had adopted any measures they
had been necessary, and mat Admiral
Pierre had complied with the orders to
avoid offending England. News Of the occur
rences was lacking, he explained, because the
Admiral was unable to detach vessel by
which to send dispatches. He declared that
unexplained events could not impair the
present good relations between France and
England. The utteranccs in the British Par
Lament on this subject had been moderate
and courteo is. Challemei Lacour added
that if grave errors had been committed or
passion manifested, the French government
would not hesitate 10 fulfill the obligations
imposed by a sense of Justice and the inter
ests OF the country. The Minister'S remarks
were received with cheers.
