The action of the War Department
in ordering the summary removal of
all'the Whites who have attempted to
settle within the Indian Territory can
hardly fail 70 meet with general APP
proval. Troops have been ordered
to destroy all the improvements made
by the intruders and to confscate
their movable property. The men
will be placed under arrest and the
women and children taken out of the
country and allowed to go. These
measures may seem unnecessarily
harsh, but it must be borne in mind
that these people have been repeat
eddy warned to leave the Territory
and the consequences following their
refusal. The Territory has been set
apart for the exclusive possession of
the Indian tribes, and the Govern
ment is bound to protect them in the
enjoyment of their rights. Indian
settlers are clearing the land, build
ing school-houses and churches, and
in various ways advancing in civiliz-
alton. But if the whites are allowed
TO encroach upon the Territory and
possess the land without molestation,
in few years the Indians will be
crowded out, and deprived of their
last abiding-place on the continent
If the Government shall teach the
present intruders severe lesson it
may prevent greater troubles in the
future. ~ m utl

One of the Harpers of Harper
Brothers, says, in a letter to the
press, that his firm solicited the pub
lication of Mr.. Blaine's book, but the
fact that the concern is not his pub
fishers does not influence the attitude
of the Weekly. 81 In this connection
it is Interesting to know what this
same Harper, when soliciting the
manuscript, thought of Mr.. Blaine in
March, 1888. The following is an
extract fire. m his letter to Mr.. Phelps:
"With the instinct of publisher,
accustomed to deal with the people
rather than with privileged classes, l
recognize the fact that there is no man
living more closely in sympathy with
the people than Mr. Blaine. a i keep
a not unframed finger on the popular
pulse, which, in our vigorous Amer
ican life, generally healthy, and l
am sure hdtst beats strongly IN adj
mirotion and affection for @ man acho
has been ABSOLUTELY fearless an has pat
riotism. Mr.. Weeds "reminiscences
will be interesting as record of an
acute observer, but / am sure thai
Mr.. Blainc's narrative will hold the
American people, because it will be
human-real flesh and blood-the
record, not Machiavellian observer
but of an active participation, a BRACE
fighter, and gallant leader IN til,

On the other hand, it is certain
that Mr.. Biaine's positions on
the tariff and on the fol eign pol
icy of the government, including
the protection of American citizens
abroad, have drawn to his support
large bodies of democrats. The or
ganization of proteotionists in Louis
lana, the declarations of prominent
democrats in that state, in Georgia,
Tennessee, the Virginias, Ohio, Indl-
ana and New Jersey, and the gener-
al tone of the laboring classes in
northern states prove that the tariff
question. does make serious inroad in
the democratic ranks. The great
meeting of Irish voters in Chickering
hall, and the. course of many journals
that are, especially addressed to such
citizens, PROVE that the views of Mr..
Blaine on the foreign relations of the
nation also attract influential and nu-
merous democratic adherents. At
this hour, therefore, it must be said
that Mr.. Blaine is altogether strong
er than he was Immediately after his
nomination. ANetc York Tribune.

The two meetings held by the Bos-
ton democracy, to ratify the nomina-
ton of Cleveland and Hendricks, in
Faneuil Hall and fremont Temple,
Friday evening, did not come up
to those expectations which the grand
old party managers could have wished
for. Both halls were fairly filed at
the opening of the meeting, but the
attendance began to dwindle very
materially soon after the first speech

THE MEN FOR PUBLIC STA
TIONS.


The men we need for public office
to-day, and every day as long as the
nation shall exist, are men who are
truly representative of the people,
and not of factional interests and
corrupt cliques; men who have not
stepped into high places on whiskey
bottles and stuffed ballot boxes, but
who have been lifted up-to seats of
honor by honest votes.
We need men who are not more
eager to prolong their own power
than they are to perpetuate q just
and wise government, and who are
intelligent enough to understand that
a prompt and efficient public service
is the surest guarantee of contin-
uance of public favor.
We need men who understand and
act upon the belief that the chief end
of government is not to create offices
for the sole purpose of furnishing a
little work with large pay to a multi
tude of office holders, nor that affairs
should be so managed that every cit
izen shall have an opportunity to en-
JOY the honors and emoluments of
office.
We need men who understand and
act upon the belief that the govern
ment is for the people, and that it is
not the chief business of the parties
represented in our legislatures to
watch each other SO closely that they
forget to attend to matters of COM
mon public interest; and to remem-
Der that because q measure origin
ates with a minority it is not for that
reason essentially wrong and worthy
of defeat.
We need men in our halls of state
unselfish and broad enough in theil
views to act upon the conviction that
local interests should always be sub
ordinated to the, general good and
magnanimous enough to sacrifice
their own future if need be to meas.
ures that concern the public as
against those that are particularly ia.
vored by their constituency; or, il
other words, where interests clasl
the interests of the state should b.
held paramount to those 'of their i'm
mediate constituency and the welfar'
of the nation before that of tn,
state.
We need, finally, as public official
men whom we can respect as privat
citizens; men whose lives will bea
at least moderate scrutiny, who's
character for integrity and purity o
conduct are not such as to make th
sphere of political life Gehenna O
vice, or a by-wora and a reproac
among the people. Observer.

Our democratic exchanges in the
state are urging their readers to vote
for Redington as a means of showing
that they favor Cleveland. This may
do for democrats, but republicans
will not be caught by any such chaff.
The republican state ticket is pop
nlar one and ought to receive as large
a majority as was given four years
ago. Those who were in earnest
that the candidates should be chosen
by the people should use all honora-
bic means to give their nominees as
good backing at the polls as has been
accorded to any state ticket.

THE COUNTRY'S CROPS.

The Government returns from
crops give the gratifying assurance
that the wheat aid corn product will
exceed that of any year since 1880.
The winter wheat is already secured,
amounting to about ~ per cent of the
entire yield, and the spring wheat
has reached the harvesting stage in
safety. Corn has yet only begun to
set in the ear, but from the acreage
and general prospects the yield can
be very well determined, barring the
danger of heavy frosts in September.
Last year, in round numbers, the corn
crop reached 1,551 100000 bushels,
and wheat 420,O0O,O00. AS these
two, with oats, aggregate 70 per
cent of the entire cereal products, the
others are of comparatively small
consequence. Both of these were
small crops, and wheat was worse;
the corn was of poor quality. Twice
the usual amount was unmerchant-
able, so that 615, 100000 bushels
came under that head, reducing it's
value from an average of 81 to p
cents per bushels. Over 100, 000,0 900
bushels were not harvested, but left
in the field, this being particularly
noticeable in Illinois, Indiana, Wis
consin and Iowa, where more than
half the old crop was unmarketable
and hardly worth the labor of gather
ing. This year about 10000, 900 are
estimated by Statiscian Dodge of the
Agricultural department to be in corn,
| and he CLOCKS for an average yield of
26 bushels. This would indicate
total of 1,S20,000,000 bushels, an
increase of nearly 20 per cent over
last years production. Present indi-
cations promise an unusual quality,
making 1t worth an average of 40
cents 10 the producer. OF late years
our domestic consumption has aver
aged about 100000 which
would indicate about 400, 100000 for
exports. Mr.. Dodge finds. however,
that we are not so likely to export the
corn. surplus as the wheat. Corn is
so bulky and SO easily convertible in
to pork and beef, that an extra crop
is followed more rapidly by increased
meat exports than by any appreciable
increase in the corn exports. When
it is remembered that not more than
one-fifth of. the corn ever is taken
out of the country in which it grows,
| it will be seen that no great increase
of the exports is likely to follow an
| extra successful crop.
| Last years wheat crop reached
| APO, 100000 bushels. So promising
| is the outlook in the great wheat
States of the West that our sanguine
prophets have set the total for 1884
at $50, 100000. Mr.. Dodge, however
sets it at 475, 100000. He estimates
our home consumption at260, 900, 900
which, with the 53,000,000 required
for seeding the next crop, leaves .

During the campaign of 1880 Carl
Schurz made the following declaration
in a speech in Indianapolis:
1t is an almost universally acknowl-
edged fact that at present the public
business is, on the whole, well and
honestly conducted in the Government
offices. Now, substitute for this the
Democratic reform, making clean
sweep according to the old spoils sys-
tenn, and what will you have? Hun
dreds of thousands of politicians,
great and small, but all hungry, rush
ing for seventy OF eighty thousand
places, backed and pressed by every
Democratic Congressman and every
Democratic committee in the land.
This impetuous rush must be satisfied
as rapidly as possible, for they want
to make the best of their time, and,
in this case as well as others, time is
money. 1t is useless to disguise it;
the masses of of1ice-seekers, starved
for twenty years, will not be turned
back as long as there is a mouthful
on the table. Seventy OF eighty
thousand officers, selected at random
from that multitude of ravenous APP
plicants, will be put into places held
now mostly by men of tried capacity
and experience. They must be taken
at random, for it is impossible to fill
so large number of places in SO
short time as the furious demand
will permit in any other way. Need
/ tell any sensible man what the eff
feet upon the conduct of the public
business will be? 1t will be the dis
organization of the whole administra-
tive machinery of the Government at
one fell blow. auf'f
If this was danger in 1880, why
| is it not now? The Democratic man.
ayers have not changed. Mr.. Curtis

that q minor portion is due to de-
cline in the amount of court business
in the state. The auditors report
will show that, as compared with for

the: probate courts has been over
$4,000 more than the most favorable

$4,000 more than the average since

The terms ending July 81, 1873
1880, respectively, were the last un-
der the old system; the terms ending
July 81, 1882, and 1884 show, to a
large extent, the workings of the new
system. The result is vast diminu-
ton in the amount of court orders
and net court expenses, and still
more remarkable increase in the
amount of fines and costs collected.
Indeed, the honesty and system
which the reformatory legislation en-
forced upon the accounting for these
costs and fines is the feature of the
new law which has been most effective
in reducing the aggregate net court
expenses. Much of the reduction in
the amount of court orders is attrib-
utable to the removal of abuses in
the duplication of costs. But while
these two items, supplemented by a
faithful and judicious enforcement of
the law establishing the state system
of auditing, explain probably by far
the major portion of reduction OF
nearly fifty per cent. in net court ex-
