If Mr.. Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chi.
cago should win his suits and the amount
of damages claimed for libel against Ger
tain papers in that city, he will be a
moderately wealthy man. One of his
suits is pending against the Inter- Ocean,
for 5000 600, for publishing an article in
which reference was made to him as the
patron of "sand-haggers and thieves, -
and in which it was alleged that he was
"a promoter of crime" The second suit
Is against Edwin Lee Brown, promi.
nent manufacturer, for a similar amount.
on account of his speech at the Turner
hall, published in the Chicago Tines in
which he called Harrison a thief, and
said the Mayor was the companion of
thieves. The third suit is against the
Inter Ocean and Mr.. Brown Jointly, for
$500, 600. the paper having published the
Turner.Hall speeches of Mr.. Brown and
DR.. Cronin, in which it was charged that
the Mayor was thief, and particpa.
tor in the fruits of the crimes of thieves. ="
The aggregate # damages here claimed
Is $500, 900. Judging from the manner
in which libel suits have heretofore been
decided against newspapers Mayor Har
rison will be lucky if he draws out of his
legal contest with $500 damages.

Senator Van wyck ha, on more than

Senator Van Wyck has on more thar
one occasion pointed out the methods by
which so.called cattle kings keep pos.
session OF land to which they have no
title. The treatment of the Oklahoma
settlers were subjected to has caused an
investigation into other cases. The land
grabbers have played with the Interior
Department by skillful use of its own
rules. To eject them from fenced tract
it was held that the tract must first be
officially surveyed and accurately de.
scribed by plat in the writ. While the
Land Office was making out its case in
this way removal of part of the fence
would enable them to evade the force of
the writ when issued. The Government
was unable to remove the Oklahoma set
tiers, and it is believed that it might
check the entertainments of cattle kings
il it should cease making one rule for
small trespassers and another for large
ones. a contemporary which has given
the subject considerable attention sug.
gests that a United States Marshal,
backed by a file of soldiers and author
lied to destroy fences and arrest all per.
sons unlawfully assuming exclusive pos.
session of public lands, would meet the
exigencies of such cases. The policy of
the Government should be to procure the
settlement of land by homesteaders. 1t
is better to give to homesteader than
to sell to a land monopolist. The one
creates homes, while the other holds on
with the hope to profit by the improve
ments going on around him. The land
grabber is bad enough when he buys his
land, bat much worse when he steals it.

TAKES THE TRAIL.
THE HERDS ON THE MOVE AGAIN
The Case of the Arrested Texas Drovers
Postponed-Report of Inspector
Armstrong - Another Ap-
peal to MIR. Lamar
Released on Bond


DODGE ClrY, Kan, July lS.-The
action in the arrests made of the Texas
drovers, j. II. Blocker and Oscar
WoodleY, for attempting to drive
through Texas cattle over the Cherokee
and neutral strip leased lands, has
been continued to August IA, the
parties being required to give bond of
$l,OOO each. The parties have returned
to a point where their herds are, with
view of starting them at once on
their journey northward, as they IA
vorably construe themselves to Sec
rotary Lamar's dispatches as fully au-
thorizing them to do so. If they do
this, further trouble may be looked
for, as local ranchmen will insist upon
an inspection of their herds before
they are moved.
ANOTHER PROTEST.
The following dispatch was sent to
Secretary Lamar last night:
To the Honorable secretary OF the Inte. .iOr,
Washington, ID. c.!
The owners of the two herds ofSouth-
ern, Texas cattle have been arrested
under order of the United States
for violation of the animal industry
law in the bringing of cattle from in
fected districts Of Southern Texas into
the Indian Territory, and they are now
under bonds.
Some $4,000 head of csttle are behind
these herds on the trail. The Texas
drovers have misconstrued your telo-
gram of the llth instant, in replying
to Messrs. Towers and Lee, of Kansas
City, and in order that their herds may
reach the neutral strips, they have
instructed their men to leave the es-
tablished trail through the
Iuaian Territory and move their
cattle across leased and
fenced pastures, where no trail has
ever existed, and which are now fully
stocked with highly imported cattle.
In order to accomplish this they must
cut the fences of the pastures and tres
pass upon the leased lands. Trouble
is imminent. We urge upon you to
order all cattle stopped until Inspector
Armstrong shall haYe fully 'inYesti-
gated and reported.
