James B. Eustis has been nominated by
the party caucus to succeed United
States Senator Jonas. Mr.. Eustis Sc,
cured the nomination by majority of
one. There are those unkind enough to
hint that so slender a majority justities
suspicion that there was some work done
that would not bear publicity. They do
not, however, advance any other fact as
a reason for suspicion. The fact that
Senator Jonas admitted that he was fairly
beaten, and acknowledged himself salts
fed in a speech to the caucus,
ought to be satisfactory evil
dence that there was nothing crooked
In the canvass for the nomination. Louis
lana politicians, however, have quite
reputation for traversing ways that are
dark, and they are, therefore, sometimes
suspected without cause. Senator Jonas
term expires next March. He has served
his State faithfully. No Senator has been
more attentive to his duties. Even the
venerable Senator from Vermont, Nor
rill, who has been absent from his place
only once during his entire career in Con-
gress-twenty-nine years-does not excel
him in this respect. Mr.. Eustis, who will
succeed MIR. Jonas, was Mr.. Jonas pre-
decessOr. He is one of the ablest
men in public life in Louisiana.
He is lawyer, but having
a dislike to hard work does not exert him
self to secure business. He doesn't need
to as he has very large private fortune.
His election to the SenatOrship indicates
that the faction of the party that made
McEnery Governor at the late election
will control the State during the next few

THE ARKANSAS MINES.
Pennsylvanians Propose to Work Thel
in a Scientific Manner.

Pennsylvanians Propose to Work Them
in a Scientific Manner.
Professor II. p. Lamb, Mineralogist
from Crawford, Penn, who, in company
with several other prominent mining men,
have been investigating the Arkansas
gold mining districts, says a Little Rock
special Of the 18th inst. to the Cincinnati
ItmeS-Stdr, returned here to-day. He
gives it as his opinion, based on a careful
investigation of the products, that the
southwestern Arkansas country is very
rich in minerals. He says that while a
great amount of money has been expended
by various parties in experimenting in
Arkansas mines, that in most instances
the money had been foolishly, thrown
away in trying to establish adjunct
industries by which those in
vesting hoped to secure them
selves in case the mines should prove a
failure, and thus allowed themselves to
be ''swamped' before they attained the
real object of their search, that is, the es-
tablishment of the fact that the mines
would pay if properly worked. Other
prominent Pennsylvania miners have re-

of that recently discovered gold country
will be awaited with much interest.

Moro Oklahoma Snnatters.

The idea that the unlawful attempt to
cOlOnize that portion of the Indian Terri
tory commonly called oklahoma, although
there is no political or civil division of the
Territory that properly bears that name,
has been abandoned for the present, is an
erroneous one. a large number of the in
vaders under Col. Payne were removed
over a year ago, and many of the leaders
among them are being prosecuted for tres
pass on the Indian lands. 1t is alleged,
however, that there are over a thousand
white people now in the Indian Territory
contrary to law, and that many Of them
have planted crops, while some of them
have erected cabins and set out gardens.
Nearly all of them have selected eligible
locations for permanent homes.
A few days ago some thirty of the in
vaders were arrested at Fort Reno by
Federal troops, whence they were escort
ed to the Kansas line and delivered up to
the civic authorities. They were then
carried to Wichita and admitted to bail
to await a trial. Like the Okl0hOma
boomers who We're removed last year they
propose te defend themselves, and have

in that part of the country to maintain
their alleged right to settle in the Terri
tory. They claim that it is a part of the
public domain, and that they. therefore,
have not violated any law in settling
there. The principal settlements are on
the Red and Deep Fork of the Canadian
river, where the lands are said to be ex-
tremely fertile.
If all accounts are true the United
States authorities will find it more diff
cult than ever to prevent the fOrcible and
illegal seizure OF the Indian lands. While
there is naturally a great desire on the
part of the whites to acquire this section
of the Territory, there is no reasonable
doubt as to the treaty rights Of the In
dams in them. 1t is hard to believe that
/ the trespassers really hope for favorable
decision of the question. Their plan is
probably to persist in settling on these
| lands until the Indians are harassed into
a war in which they shall be all but ex-
/ terminated, or the government forced in
| despair to violate its treaty and open up
! their lands to settlement.

Time for Grant to Retire.

Beecher says that Gen. Grant is dear
old fellow, and is not to blame for the
swindling operations of his firm. The as
sistant pastor of Beecher's church, Mr..
Halliday. thinks Grant is to blame.
1t was his business to know what
his firm was doing. The common
sense of the country will sustain Mr..
Halliday. Without the use Of Grants
name Ward could not have carried on his
swindling operations. Nobody would
have believed for a moment the story about
government contracts ifGrant's name had
not been connected with them in an
authorized way. This is not the
first time that the use Of Grants name,
with his permission, has disturbed Wall
street. The memorable Black Friday
trouble was attributed to him. Gould
and Fisk undertook to force up the price
of gold on an alleged understanding with
Grant that the Treasury would not, under
any circumstances, sell gold. 1t is even
said that Mrs. Grant was interested in the
gold scheme. The story of Black Friday
is well remembered. Grant appears to
be a guiIeless sort OF a person. 1t is true
he said "Let no guilty man escape"
when the iniquities of the
whisky ring were exposed, but
it would have been more creditable to
him if the ring had not thrived during his
administration. In this Grant & Ward
business nobody has yet questioned
Grants integrity, but it has been freely
said that he has very little sense in bust
ness matters. His experiences since he
left the army ought to be sufficient TO
convince him that the best thing he can
do is to pass the balance Of his days in re-
tirement.

GRANT CRITICISED.

RumOrs that Have an Ugly Look.
The criticism of ''the Street, follows
General Grant up with extreme severity,
says New York letter, and there seems
to be determination to prevent Mr.. Ward
being made the scapegoat Of the alleged
misdeeds of the Grant family. If Ward
is arrested there will be an cutlery for the
arrest of some one else in the firm. 1t is
now said, for instance, that Vanderbiltis
loan of $150,O00 to Grant was put-up
job to save Mrs. Grants property, and
that Vanderbilt never could lose anything
under any circumstances. AS the story
is told, when Grant found that crash
was unavoidable he obligated him.
self to Vanderbilt for the amount
named, with the understanding
that his wife's property (their houses
in New York, Washington and Long
Branch, and the farm near st. LOuis)
should be made over to Vanderbilt and
subsequently returned. AS a matter of
fact the property was so made over, and
was returned by Vanderbilt a few days
afterward. On dit that Grant wished to
avoid criticism upon his saving all his
own property (and his wife holds it all
in her namel and letting his creditors go
without their due. Being in honor bound
to pay his debts, he could relieve himself
of all Odium by making deal with w.
FL. Vanderbilt There may not be word
of truth in this rumor, probably there is
none; but it is unfortunate for the eX-
President that it finds multitudes of be-
levers, and works incalculable injury to
his reputation.

THE COMBINED SEARCH FOR
GREEDY.

News from the "Bear''-WhaIers Work
ing for the Reward.
Lieut.. VIM. II. Emory, in command of
the Bear, the advance vessel of the Greedy
relief expedition, says the. w Washington
Post, has made an important report to
the Secretary of the Navy from St. John
under date of May 3, in which he says
that the season is considered as propitious
for ice navigation, nOrtherly gales having
prevailed for some weeks, and it being
believed that the ice has been set in motion
some weeks earlier than usual. The seal
ing season closed this year on April %,
and sealing vessels and whalers have re-
turned to port but have no definite knOwl-
edge of the condition of Arctic ice. The
reports obtained have convinced Lieut..
Emory that he should take the middle
passage to Davis straits, and when pro-
gress is INSTRUCTED by ice TO skirt it's edge
until the Greenland coast is reached, and
proceed thence to Disco and Upernavik.
If he is able to steam rapidly to Uperna-
vik he will communicate with Disco only
by boat, leaving dispatches for Commander
Schley. If the ice conditions are favorable
upon reaching Upernavik ne Will at once
attempt the passage of Melville Bay.
Two steam whalers, the Narwhal and
Eskimo, have sailed, and the Arctic and
PolOnIa will leave shortly for Cape York
and the north water in hope of finding
Greedy. Several vessels have also left
Dundee for this purpose. Their intention
is to communicate with Cape York and
search for Greedy, and if successful to
land at Upernavik. None of them will go
beyond Littleton Island. The whalers are
well fitted out and manned, and their
captains are anxious to rescue Greedy.
Lieut.. Emory arranged everything at
st. John to avoid delay to the Thetis and
left full information for Commander
Schley, and adds: Il am led to believe,
even should the season prove most favOra-
bic, Commander Schley will be able to
reach Upernayik before any vessel can
undertake or attempt the passage of Mel
willie Bay. Should he not arrive before l
leave, l feel sure my decision to sail for
Cape York at the first moment practical
bic will meet with your approval and that
of the commander of the expedition"
