VICIOUS POLICIES.

The government of the United States
has been for 25 or 80 years INDUCING in
two of the most viciousSpolicies ever
known in the history of an Intelligent
and civilized-particularly, a republic
can-people. Reference is had espe-
cially to the land and Indian policies.
But few years ago this country had as
magnificent a public domain as any
nation on earth. In nearly every State
and Territory the governments broad
acres invited the homesteader and set
tier and promised independence to the
poor man. The Republican party
came into power and the pic
ture was changed in all its
features. A party controlled by syndi-
Gates and devoted to monopolies, the
land office became the center of as gross
imposition upon the peoplo at large as
ever public Office could become. To
railroads alone many scores Of millions
of acres were given absolutely for no re-
turn, while syndicates and foreign lords
haye been enabled to gather in as much
more. No great balance now exists and
mono would be left we're it not for
the positive declaration on the
subject by tho Democratic house
of the Forty-eighth Congress,
"that the public domain is the public's
inheritance and must be preserved for
homestead purposes only"
In the handling of the Indian ques-
ton the policy OF the last quarter OF a
century has been equally unskillful
and vicious. Tho government has
some $4,000 troops in the regular army,
well equipped and splendidly armed.
But its resources are absolutely, from a
war standpoint, inexhaustible. The
entire fighting force of all
tho Indians in the United
States is not greater than our
regular army, and yet with these re-
sources we permit these little hostile
bands of red skins 10 leave their reser-
vations end paint trail of blood and |
horrors. 1t is criminally inexcusable in
government like this. Aud one of the
darkest pictures is the fact that the
losses and just damages created by these
red murderers, for which the govern
ment is clearly liable, are never paid but |
actually repudiated from year to year
by Congress. Now the Democratic
party is pledged especially 10 two
things to preserve our public domain
for homes for the poor aud to protect |
citizens in life and property. II these
pledges are redeemed, and the present
does nothing else, il
will have deserved the plaudits Of
The people. But if they |
are redeemed more vigor must |
DO displayed in the arms Of the service,
particularly controlling the two policies
% which reference has been made. 1t
s possible and proper to correct land
rauds, and 1t is possible and proper to
out stop to these constantly recurring
md bloody Indian outrages, and If the
Democratic administration, now manag
ng public affairs, is not equal to these
demands 1t is undeserving of popular
or respect.

Prohibition at Terrell.

TERRELL, juno 13.-ISpecial. THE
novelty OF woman appearing on the
stage as a public speaker attracted 9
very large assemblage to hear Mrs.
Saxon at the opera house last night.
She spoke plainly ana earnestly in be-
half OF her cause. Her address was de.
void of the fanatical phantasm so com
mon with the advocates of prohibition.
The night was warm and the room rem
dered excessively unpleasant by the
Jam. Inc alarm of fire produced in
tense excitement, and frantic efforts of
tho audience to be freed from the build
ing. After great effort by the cooler
men the fears were subsidized and Mrs.
Saxon proceeded with her address,
She thought 1t was false alarm, with a
view OF breaking up the meeting. But
II proved TO be worthless isolated
building, and generally believed to be
set on fire. After the speaker concluded
the usual contribution WAS asked for.
The election to day passed off with the
best of feeling. But little effort was
made by either those favoring or oppos.
ing local option.

THE SPECTRE ON THE HORIZON

W. " ~ Ms Wv 'IlG IlOnIEON
1t has been always popular theory
that when the plague devastated
Europe, America could the next year an.

States. So far, this season, according
to the old theory, or rather in refutal of
the old theory, it has not appeared in
the United States, but has reached South
America. When or where will this de-
stroyer strike us, in view of these facts,
Is an all-important question.
The United States, almost for two de-
cades has enjoyed years of plenty, like
those golden ones that preceded the
most celebrated Jewish famine; health,
peace and good will toward all man
kind have ruled our days, but who can
tell when the mailed hand OF misfor.
tune or destruction will descend upon
the land2
There Is but one thing the Nation can
in this grievous emergency do, and that
is to observe the strictest quarantine
against the entire world. AS quaran-
tine Is n local matter the attention of
Texas authorities is especially directed
to this subject. Yellow fover and chol.
era are to the south of us, and their ex-
clusion from this fair and prosperous
State is of far more significance to us
all than the exclusion of ever so much
trade or commerce. But quarantine
does not accomplish everything. SAM.
tstion everywhere must go hand In
hand with 1t. The New Orleans Plea.
yune has something to say of and to
that city that is applicable now
all over Amerlcs, when 1t de-
clares that "the conditions TO invite
disease and develop II from few germs
are present throughout the city. vlgor-
our and efficient work in cleaning up
the streets, enforcing cleanliness in
yards and vaults, and free flushing OF
the cutters ought to be inaugurated at
once. Under any quarantine case Of
fever is likely to get in, and the city is
now like vast powder magazine, ready
to ignite from single spark. While
we preach vigorous quarantine let us
not forget the other safeguards against
an epidemic" This is wisdom. briefly
but tersoly put that no Southern com q.
munity can At this time ignore.
