a COMING COMBINATION.

The depression in railroad business
throughout the entire country has
lead the Cleveland Leader to the con-
clusion that self-preservation will in a
few ysars compel railroad combins-
ton second to no combination hereto
fore in the worlds history. 1t is COR
rectly surmised that such gigantic
corporations will not suffer cut-throat
competition to destroy hundreds of
millions of dollars worth Of property
when little concert of action easily
brought about will avert the impend-
ing ruin.
The Leader may be right. Such vast
interests will protect themselves, but
the combination must not be too un-
reasonable. The day Of exorbitant
passenger and freight rate has passed.
A general pool must consult the inter-
ests also Of the public or it cannot
hope for success. Tho States stand
behind the corporations and between
them and the people snd extortion
would only prove ruinous to the COM
bination. Undoubtedly, as the Lead
or says, in few years railroads will
combine as do other interests, but wis
dom and moderation must determine
the terms of the combination or pop
ular storm will sweep away every ves-
tjpe of profit,

THE HERALD has had cause more
than once to refer to the subject here
matter alluded to and would call
attention Of its readers to the follow
ing very sensible idea of tho Texas
Northwest: "There are men in Mon
tague County, as everywhere else,who
are continually trying to array one
class against another, especially farm
ers against all others. The man who
would endesvor to mako farmers think
that I'll other classes are working
against them is either an idiot or a
scoundrel. In this country overy
business man knows, every lawyer,
every doctor and all other classes and
professions know that the more pros
porous farmers arc the better it is for
the country. The man who would
make the farmer believe that other
classes are arrayod against him is the
farmers worst foe."

THE Paris News says another good
thing and does it in this wise: "Many
of our exchanges are declaring prefer
ances for thsir favorites in the coming
State ele ction. We are not prepared
to say who will receive the mite that
the News will cast in the conflict, but
we have this to say: that we will not
support man for governor, or any
other high position, who is not in ac-
cord with the Democratic party, and is
not only innocent Of sowing the seeds
of dissention in tho party, but is above
suspicion in that respect. We further
declare il as our humble opinion, that
an aspirant for high Office ia in an
unfortunate predicament, when he
finds it necessary, after almost life
time spent in the service of a party, to
have to repeatedly iterate that he still
belongs to it,"

"SINpAD," in the Milan County
Democrat, is out in prohibition article
of two and half columns In length
and in which he devotes considerable
space to the Galveston News. He
commences in this wise:
1.-THE Galveston News is pa

politics. In political affairs it
Is neither Democratic or Republican;
in morals 1t is neither Christian or
liberal. 1t is the organ of no party,
sect or creed. The truth is, like that
cross old Tom cat of the New YORK

FROM the San Antonio Times II Is
learned that the number of trials for
offenses charged and convictions
thereon in the Federal Courts OF Texas
stands thus: In the northern district
four OWN during tho past four years
there have been II trials, 81 OF which
ended In convictions and 40 in acquit-
tails. In the eastern, out OF rs cases,
there were 80 scquittals and 4S conric-
tons, and in the western district dur
ing tho same period there have been
ESQ trials of which 293 resulted in con-
viction and 9S in acauistal.

A FAR REACHING DECISION.

Last year the Legislature of New
York undertook to prevent by statute
the manufacture and sale of oleomar-
garine. The matter was carried into
the courts and the Court of Appeals
has just declared the act unconstitu-
tional. The court holds that the sale
of substitute for any article of man
ufacture is legitimate business
which, If effected without deception,
cannot be arbitrarily suppressed, and
that the legislation in question is not
aimed at deception, but in effect Gre
ates q monopoly destructive Of con-
stitutional rights.
This strikes US as sound, sensible
decision and will serve as controll-
ing precedent not only in New York,

INDIAN WAna.

There are Tow persons who do not
experience capillary excitement aud
q disposition ~ tho horrors Whenever
the idea OF an Indian war is presented
10 their Imagination. Tho Eastern man
who remains at home or takes his
European tour annually, has but little
Idea, however, OF the nature and origin
OF most Of those terrible Indian con-
tests. He would DO very much SUR
prisod were no TO visit the section OF
frontier territory whore such war
was being threatened, 10 find himself
treated with tho coolest OF clvillty II
he ventured tho opinion that there
was no danger OF 30 dire an event, and
still more amazed TO find any offer he
might make to assist in its diversion,
received with manifest hostility. Yet
in nearly all OF these Indian scares or
excitements the plain fact IL that they
are gotten up in newspapers and on
the false representation OF pretended
scouts, who are IN the employment OF
men interested in provoking the
savagos to hostility that the govern
ment OF tho United States may send
troops to the scene OF action or get
volunteers into tho field so that these
enterprising gentry may realize from
contracts with the quartermaster and
subsistence departments. 1t Is an un.
pleasant duty to make such state
merits and unpleasant to think there
are men who are base enough thus not
only to triile with and harrow
the feelings of people, but to be guilty
OF every species of perjury and fraud
for the unworthy purpose of putting
money into their purses.
Old army officers are perfectly ac-
quainted with the trick. Hence their
universal dislike TO the Indian agency
system, as they know the agents gen.
orally 10 be the more tools Of design
ing men who divide the ill.gotten
gains with them in case OF success in
having troops sent to the spot where
the reputed outrages were said to have
occurred. .
No hotter Illustration can DO found
than in the present aspect Of Indian
affairs on the southwestern frontiers
OF Kansas. There is terrible racket
being made. The Cheyennes are
about to come down on the settle
meat. SENATOR INGALLS, is sent to
Washington to solicit troops and pro-
cure an invasion of the Cheyenne Tor
ritory. But before the artful scheme
is put on sure foundation GENERAL
AUGUR, in whose department the In
dians are located, denies the existence
of anything like an intention on the
part of the Cheyennes to go on tho
warpath, and stamps out the specula-
ton by the announcement that he has
an abundance OF force to protect the
borders, even should that tribe desire
to be violent. This is but ono of the
many OF these great noney-making
schemes by which men plumber the
government. 1t is fortunate that they
do not often now occur and that there
is not as much chance of their success
as in days gone by.

Hear the eagle scream About the
Cheyennes.

WICHITA, Kan, Juno 30.-The Daily
Eaglo's special says tho Indians, ap-
pretending that there might be a de-
msnd for their arms, have, it is
though, hid their best arms in the sand
hills and only appear with their sqlr-
rel rifles. tits believed that should
the soldiers make any demonstrations
looking 10 movement, that the more
hostile element would strike out
across the Territory north, through
Western Kansas TO join the Sioux;
but they evidently. expect that the
Kiowas and Comnnches will unite
with them in giving the troops sum-
mer's campaign. The situation 10 still
one OF anxiety and extreme danger.
An Associated Press dispatch of last

10 the cattlemen beingat the bottom OF
the Indian trouble, the Eagles corro-
spondent called on that official to-day
with reference to tho matter. Colonel
Dyer promptly answered that the

These Indians have been unruly

arises from t.s fact that for years they
have never boon psnishei for crime
and are simply presuming and grow
ing more bold and reckless. The grass
leases were made twoyears ago by cat
tlemep who came in q straightior-
ward, business-)ike manner and made
their agreement with the Indians
themselves. The statements that the
Indians are dissatisfied with their
grass leases is absurd. The very few
who objected at first only did so to ex-
tort additional favors. The Indians,
after accepting the money without
moved out in tho pastures
and putchered many cattle, and there
was no power to punish them. So fre-
qnently have they done this that
10 cents per acre per year |
would have hardly rendered them as |
much. The story that the Indian |
range was overstocked, and that the |
indian herds suffered, is too ridicul-
Gus to describe. The ranges are not |
sven, as yet, half occupied, and there
Is range for 100 times as much stock as |
he Indians own, entirely unoccupied. !
Colonel Dyer says further that there
IS not cattleman in that section who |
has not lost heavily from the unwar-
ranted depredations OF the Cheyennes.
