SONS Present.
GENEVA, N. Y. September 9.
TWAS useless request Of the Committee
of Arrangements when they asked that
no business be done ts-day. The old
friends and neighbors of Secretary Fol-
ger have more than they can do to keep
the tears from their eyes. Not a store is
open, and the pretty little village looking
down on Seneca Lake is one mass of
black cloth. From almost every house
hang solemn folds. The skies seem to
have conspired with the village folk to do
honor to the great man lying in his cas-
ket in the stately old-fashioned mansion
which he so long called home.
Opposite the Franklin House, on the
outside of a little old building is tin
sign on which can Just be distinguished
the word "FOlger," people stop to look
at it, and tears start in their eyes as they
turn away. The toWn-folks and those
who drove miles in the early morning to
hear the last words spoken over the body
of the dead Secretary are disappointed
for the church is small, and they must
give way to the President and eminent
men from abroad, who come to honor the
cold clay of Charles J. Folger.
At the request of the family the decor
ations in the Presbyterian Church were
simple. About the platform, gallery and
sides are hung folds of black 9th.
President Arthur, with his Private Sec
retary, and Secretaries Chandler, Freling
huysen and Gresham arrived at IL 80 and
went to Senator Hammond's. Governor

The body was placed in the casket at
eleven O'Clock. The casket is of red
cedar covered with imported back
broad-cloth. The plate bears the inscrip-
ton: "Charles J. Folger, born April is,
1918, died September 4th, 1884" The
only flowers in the room was a crown of
white roses sent by Samuel M. Blatch-

KEEP OPEN THE TRAILS.

Complaints are constant that cattle
men, driving from this State over tbe old
trails in the Territory are harassed and
annoyed, thoir cattle frequently stopped
and often taken by force and The owners
subjected to high-handod outrage hy
the residents of the Territory, ludtals
and whites. We referred to this matter
in yesterday issue, in brief paragraph.
but the matter calls for more seriol
notice.
There are troops and Indian agents iu
that portion Of the Territory where these
trails run who have absolute power over
these long established highways. There
is not a day in the year when they can
not keep the trails open and prevent
theft, robbery or annoyance, if they see
fit to do so. If these troubles continue
it is wholly owing to the failure Of the
Army officers and Indian agents to pre-
vent them. Having the power, have
they the authority 10 act in the premi-
SEES?
Not only have they the power and the
authority, but it is their duty to act, for
time and again have the most positive
and explicit directions been sent to both
the military authorities and agencies,
by the Secretaries OF War ard Interior
to keep these srails open. WELLBoRN,
THRoCRMoRToN and LANHAM have al
ways watched this matter closely and
were always positively assured that
specific Instructions sent 10 tho Federal
authorities there would keep the trails
not only open hut secure.
This is Il subject of moment to us. u
is hard to have to tolerate this barrier

cumstances and these trails are our only

Ifthose imposimeats TO trade and cat

THE Republicans assert that West and

Republicans in convention at Fort
Worth ENDORSED free grass, and by the
aid of disaffected Democrats they viii
carry those sections of the State, If not
for the National for the state officers
The Henrietta Shield and Abilene Re-
porter both assert that their county
conventions were composed largely Of
Republicans who influenced the choice
Of delegates to the Houston convention.
If this be true, it is a most disgraceful
procedure on the part of Democrats, who
should act honorably by members OF
their own party. IF the people Of this
state permit men from other States to
come 10 Texas, occupy the lands free OF
cost, influence legislation for their own
