sHERIDAN's INDIAN POLICY.

There is something to think about in Gen.
Sheridan's plain and practical suggestions
with regard to Indian lands. He shows that
each family could be located on 800 acres,
and still leave so much of their reservations
untouched that sale thereof to the govern
ment at $1.25 per acre would yield sum
which, invested in United States bonds,
would give them an annual income fully suf-
fcient to meet all the cost of their supports
If these now useless lands can thus be made
to relieve the country of the present heavy
burden of Indian maintenance, why should
it not be done? The Indians would lose
nothing, a great national expense would be
stopped, and homes would be put within easy
reach of a great many Industrious and de-
serving white men. There may be reason
able objections to sucha policy, but it will be
difficult to make the people think SO.

The result of the English elections up to
the present time is generally favorable to the
Conservatives, though it does not constitute
a sufficient basis on which to predict an ulti-
mate Conservative triumph. The Conserva-

King Milan's unfortunate excursion into
Bulgaria appears likely to cost him his
crown. But staying at home would probably
have been quite as fatal to his kingship. To
save his crown it was necessary to fight the
Bulgarians and beat them. He is not to
blame for bis failure, but that will make no
difference

The New York Sun considers the attempt
to show that the appointment of Sterling to
be port warden of New York is an act of hos
tility to the President absurd. "The Pres
ident," it says, Showed an unusual degree of
kindness towards Mr.. Sterling by setting
aside the provision which requires the civil
service commissioners to certify only four
persons as having passed the examination,
so as to render them eligible to appointment. .
1t was inevitable that the Presidents action
should be construed in this way. 1t is
strange that the President did not
see it, or seeing it did not refrain from an
act that would bear that construction
especially as no good purpose was likely to
be subseryed by suspending the rules.

The story that it was not Riel who was
hung, but self sacrificing substitute was
sure to come sooner or later. Of course it is
absurd, but in the hands of ingenious CORE
spondents and reporters it can bemade useful
in keeping alive interest in the fate of the
Metis leader, and that is probably what it is

1t is said the President in his message to
Congress will recommend the appointment
of commissioners to make some arrangement
with the Dominion government by which
Americans may continue to participate in
the Canadian shore fisheries American fish
ermen are not opposed to any equitable ar
rangement that does not give more than it
receives; but they want no more of the kind
that has recently expired. Any future ar
rangement must not involve the opening OF
American markets free to Canadian fish.
That means death to our fishing industry.
King Alfonso leaves a daughter but five
years of age. A long regency is inevitable
therefore, unless the present dynasty is over
thrown, with the Queen as regent. More or
less agitation for change is likely to follow
the Kings death. Don Carlos is still alive
and if he can see any reasonable prospect of
success he will speedily be on had pressing
his claim to the throne. Possibly the Repub-
lieans may be heard from though they are in
rather too weak condition to create much
Of disturbance. Though not a brilliant
monarch Alfonso succeeded in winning the
good will Of his subjects, and for several
years there have been no serious disturb
ances in his kingdom.

MI. Henry G. Lea in letter to the New
York Post urges the enactment of law
making it misdemeanor for Congressman
to interfere in any way in the matter of Pres
idential appointments. The simple recon-
mendation of candidates for Office he would
have forbidden by statute. AS a law such
as Mr.. Lea suggests can only be enacted by
the aid of the men against whom it is direct
ed, and as they are not likely to admit, as
they would seem to do by passing such
law, that they are less trustworthy and more
liable to be influenced by improper motives
than their fellow citizens, it is not probable
that we shall have such law until human
nature experiences radical change. But
supposing we did have such law would we
then be free from all the evils that flow from
patronage? Would our condition be anchor
ated even? We think not. While the coun-
try is as large as it is now the President
must seek information concerning candidates
for office from some source; he must rely
upon somebody. He cannot possibly person
ally examine into the character or fitness OF
any considerable number of them. He
relies now to a large extent on the recon-
mendations of Congressman. But ii Con-
gressmen are forbidden to make recommen-
dations he would have to- rely upon the local

WAsHrNGreN, August2.-Itis probable
that the President will visit Albany after
the funeral of General Grant and before
he goes to the mountains.
Secretary Manning, who will spend
the month OF August at Watchhnl'
Conn, with his family. will probably ac-
company him to Albany. 1t is ex-
pected that Secretary Lamar and Attor-
ney-Gene,al Garland will remain IN
Washington during the Presidents
absence. other members of the Cabinet
Will take vacations. Owing to the III,
ness OF Mrs. Bayard it is not expected
that the Secretary of State will spend
much OF the summer season at wash
ington. Secretaries Endicott and WHIT,
ney and Postmaster General Villas Will
spend most of the summer at their
homes. Thetwo former will make short
visits 20 Washington, whenever their
presence is required. ltis not definitely
settled what day the Presidential party
will leave Washington for New York,
but il will be either Thursday or Friday
of this week, most likely the latter day.
