BECOMING Comnlicatod.

DODGE Cry, Kan, July lO.-The sit
uation between the Southwestern ranch
men and Texas drovers is becoming daily
more complicated. Through Texas stock
is rapidly accumulating at a point south
of Fort Supply and Canadian river. Over
100000 head of cattle has been stopped
there by Deputy Marshal Bell, who has
made several arrests of persons in charge
of cattle. Complaint has been made by
one John Landers. before United States
Commissioner Cook, against five differ
ent persons, two of whom were arrested,
John Blocker and Oscar Woody. and
brought to this city for trial.
The parties are charged with violating
the animal industry law. The prelimi-
nary hearing is set for to morrow. Cattle
men declare the drive from Texas this
year unusually healthy, and coming herds
in the very best condition. kilograms
have been received here from the secre-
tary of the interior that the drives
from Texas have a right to proceed
unmolested through the Indian country
over the common trail The prevailing
opinion now is hat the United States
attorney aud marshal will receive specific
instructions from Washington authorizinp
the safe and continued journey of the
drive from Texas to their destination.

Con. Buckner Visits Grant

Nh McGREGoR, July 10.-Col Grant
yesterday received a telegram from OK
Confederate Gen. S. b. Buckner. asking
if in the event of his visiting Mt. Metre
gor he would be permitted to see Gen.
Grant. Col. Grant last evening replied,
with regrets, that his father was otstrong
enough to see him. This morning, how
ever, another message was sent to Gen.
Buckner informing him. should he come
this morning, Gen. Grant would receive
him. Accordingly at $40 Gen. Buckner
and wife alighted at the little station ON
the top Of the mountain. When Gen.
Buckner had greeted Mrs. Grant and
others on the cottage veranda, he was
conducted to the generals room, where
the sick man was awaiting his visitors.
Gems. Grant and Buckuer were fellow
students at West Point, and when Fort
Donelson fell, Gen. Buckner was the frst
confederate general captured by Gen.
Grant. The meeting was affecting and
the interview lasted an hour. Gen. Grant
atterward showed considerable fatigue AS
the result of the interview, but aside from
that his condition is not changed.

overhauling the Navy Yards.

WASHINGTON, July lO.-The secretary
of the navy purposes effecting an entire
reorganization of the nine government
navy yards not later than next Fall. An
investigation looking to this end has been
in progress for some weeks. Committees
at various yards have been examining
books and papers covering a period of
ten years. These committees have been
and are being assisted by special commits
sioners sent from the navy department.
The reports are to be sent to Washington
and compared with the books here. The
object of the investigation is to learn
whether or not the books will agree with
the account in the department at Wash
ington. 1t is thought that already a dis
coyery has been made that the books at
the department show that certain material
which ought to be on hand in one of the
yards cannot be found. At the Mare
Island navy yard, in California, the inves-
tigation will be most thorough because of
reports Of needless expenditures Of money
ut that place. The secretary has been
furnished with the names of a number of
persons who say that they can give evil
dence OF fraud in that yard in the repair
of United States vessels.

letter to Gen. Sheridan
Lieut.. Gen. p II. Sheilaa-Sm:-
In view of possible disturbances that may
occur among the Indians now in the
Indian Territory, and the contemplated
concentration of troops in that locality, l
deem it necessary that you proceed at
once to the location where trouble is to be
apprehended, and advise with and direct
those in command as to the steps to be
taken to prevent disorder and depreda-
tons by the Indians. As to the DISPOSE
ton of troops, your acquaintance with the
history, habits and customs of these
Indians leads me also to request you to
invite statements on their part as to any
real or fancied injury or injustice towards
them, or any other causes that may have
led to discomfort, and to inform your
self generally as to their condition.
You are justified in assuring them that
any cause of complaint will be fully exam
ined by the authorities here, and if any
wrongs are found they shall be RENE
died.
1 think l hardly need add that they
must be fully assured of the determination
on the part Of the government to enforce
their peaceful conduct, and by all the
power it has at hand to prevent and pun
ish acts of lawlessness and any outroges
upon our settlers. Yours truly,

The Size Of It.

A liquor-dealer makes his demand OF
a political party and votes in the line
of his demand; Temperance man
makes his demand, and if he doesn't
get what he demands he frOths and
fumes, and when election day comes
around-votes with his party all the
same. The party by denying liquor
man loses his vote, by denying a tenn
perance man doesn't lose his vote; and
vet there are hundreds of thousands of
republican temperance men in this state
who can't see why it is that the one
fourth liquor voters in his party domi-
nate the three-fOurths temperance
voters Partisanship prevents man
from thinking or seeing straight.

Principle VS.. Policy.

In June, 1858, the Illinois Republican
State Convention nominated Abraham
Lincoln for L. S. Senator. Mr.. Lincoln,
in accepting the nomination, spoke Of
the agitation then going on concerning
slavery and among other things said
''In my opinion that agitation will not
cease until crisis shall have been
reached and passed y house divided
against itself cannot stand | believe
that this Government can not endure
permanently half slave and half free.
do not expect t,3a Union 10 be dis
solved; | do MOI expect the house to
fall, but do expect il viii cease to be
divided. 1t Will become ali one thing
or the other
1t is said this bold language struck
even some of Mr.. Lincoln'S abolition
friends with dismay. They were prob
ably the policy men-the time servers
who were willing in some degree to
pander to deprayed public sentiment.
But Mr.. Lincoln meant to plant him
self distinctly and firmly on principle
and with that stand or fall, and was not
willing to adopt time serving palicy
for the sake of a little temporary gain.
He lost the Senatorship, for Mr.. Doug
las was elected. but in 1860 he was by
the Republicans elected President of
the United States and became the i'm
mortal leader of freedoms host and
struck the shackles from millions in
slavery.
History repeats itself. The chief
question now before the American peo-
pie is the suppression of the liquor
traffic and as might be expected the
policy-mongers are in the field. Some
of these want prohibition if it is sure to
not hurt ''our party" They believe in
non-partizan prohibition. meof these
have gone into a so-calleG non-partizan
National League, which is itself party
and a political party because seeking
political ends, and two of the chief
ends it has in views are first the preSer-
walton of the Republican party and sec
undly the overthrow of the National
Prohibition Party.
But there are those who have taken
stand on the immovable bed rock of
principle and will not subordinate pro-
hibition to dead issues, or selfish pur-
poses, or mere party success, They
have lost faith especially in the grand
old party" They hate the destructive
reign of King Alcohol, and see with
sorrow his pestilent sway in every state
in the Union, and being patriots they
are for ''God and Home and Native
Land" That is what is the matter
with that grand man ex-Gov. st. John.
That is what moves DR.. Talmage, DR..
Boole and Horace Waters. It has
aroused to activity Prof. Hopkins, DR..
Leonard. Francis E. Willard Mrs. La
throp and host of others who are work
ing for prohibition as a principle. They
believe that prohibition laws with pro-
hibition party behind them will be
success.
