The project To relieve the Democrats
in congress from their tariff reform"
dilemma is said To be of this pattern:
Morrison Is to Introduce his reform
bill; without consideration 1t is to be re-
cnmmitted and made the special order
for some day in January, 1885. The
presidential election Will take place in
the interim, and the Democrats hope
that this disposition of the bill will save
them from meeting the free trade issue
during the canvass OF 1885. But it will
be vain thing to attempt to cover their
tracks. in this way. They Will have to
face the music, and there will be plenty
oft.

A Defense Of the Texas Fence Cdtser.

New YORK, Feb. 2.-The Sun has, 3

rte I'd laws the public lands were re
served for actual settlers. They went
there under this pledge, and 10 time &C
quired herds of cattle. They did we'll
and encouraged others to follow their
example. When it wSs seen that the
business of raising cattle was profitable
large capitalists, who we're non residents
and many of them foreigners, engaged
in the business. They bought out some
of the ranches and bought herds of cat
tie from Texas and elsewhere They
then set to work stretching wire fences
across the country so as TO exclude the
cattle of the settlers from grazing on
lands, except in their own immediate
nelghborhood. By this means they
are driving settlers from the country.
II is called "freezlDg them out" They
thus wholly def al the object IF the

taken their families and made that coun-

raising cattle. II the settlers are de-
prived of this resource they must leave.
They know this, and believing that the

Kansas and the Railroads.

Topeka Correspondence Boston Herald.
Il is rumored that the Santa Fe Road
intends before long to transfer IFS gener-
al offices to Kansas City. The statement
is made that Judge McCrary, the new
general solicitor, will soon establish the
law department in Kansas City, and
work has been stopped upon the new
building tor railroad offices which has
been under construction opposite the
court house square. There is q state
law forbidding the X cation of the offices
of any railroad doing business in KAN
sas outside OF the state. This Law has
been disregarded by the Kansas Pacific,
which, since its consolidation with the
Union Pacific, has had its offices at Oma-
ha, and a suit is still pending over this
question. The suggestions of removal
of the Santa Fe offices are probably
caused by the fact that the relations be-
tween the railroad and the people, or
rather their political representatives, are
less friendly than heretofore. In part
this is undoubtly due to the adopting of
a rather aggressive policy instead of the
concIliatory and liberal course which
the management has in the past pursued.
It will be remembered that the recent
meeting of the State Railroad Commits
sioners and the representatives of the
railroad broke up in an open disagree
ment. The term of one of these CON-
mlssloners expires within year, and a
movement is already started to replace
| him by q most pronounced "antimon-
| opolist," at whose bands the railroads C =
look for no mercy. The railroad issue
is assuming large proportions here and
| 70 other towns throughout the state
and it will be strongly felt in the nexl
election of members to the Legislature
Present indications are that the next
| legislature will be characterized by 8
