The oattiemen Of the Indian Territory
are making extraordinary efforts to get
the President to rescind the order requir-
ing them 70 get out Of the Territory within
forty days. Already several delegations
have arrived at Washington to explain
the situation. Tney have talked with
Secretary Lamar and with the President,
but they haven't succeeded in getting the
order either rescinded or modified. In
fact, Secretary Lamar says that the order
will not be Withdrawn, but that in a few
days it will be 30 enlarged in its scope
that 1t will include all the cattlemen in
the Indian Territory.
The administration will be sustained in
forcing these companies to get off the In
dian reservations. They knew when they
tempted the Indians to give up the con-
troll of their lands for "A small annual
rental that trouble might occur at any
time. They had reason to think that, not
withstanding the fact that their leases
were sanctioned by the Interior Depart
ment, they had no legal right in the Terri
tory.
1t seems that much Of the money
that is invested in the cattle
business in the Indian Territory
was supplied by New York par
ties, and that these New Workers thought
they had influence enough to retain their
hold on the Territory even If there should
be trouble OF a serious character.
They have found out that the class of
men who are Mt present In charge Of the
government are guarding the interests of
/ the people rather than chose of monopo-
/ lists and spectators.
/ The cattle companies will have some
/ trouble in determining what to do with
! their herds. Pasture lands have suddenly
! become scarce and valuable. The proba-
/ bilities are that these cattlemeu will have
/ to 90 out OF business. They have put
up thousands of miles of wire fence
| in the Territory. All OF this fence
will be ordered cut down as
soon as the forty days limit
expires. The companies which expected
70 make fortunes quickly by utilizing the
rich lands Of the Indians will find them
selves very much worse of than when
they began business. They cannot, how
ever, blame the government for their mis-
fortunes.

9pctionnIisu Dead,

II Is difficult for the people OF the South
TO keep from experiencing a kind Of mel
anchOly pleasure when they see the efforts
that are being made by few ultra Re-
publicans 10 revive the old war spirit at
the North. The evidences that sectional
bitterness is practically dead both at the
North and South are too numerous and
conclusive TO be for a moment doubted.
The country is now more closely united,
perhaps, than ever before in its history.
There is scarcely n section Of the Union
where those who little over twen-
ty years ago faced each other in bat
tie cannot take each other by the
hand and indulge in sincere ex-
pressions Of mutual confidence and
respect. The real soldiers OF the North
were as generous in victory as they were
In battle, and those OF the South have
been as truo TO their paroles Of honor as
they we're undaunted IN the face Of their
former enemies. The South fought for its
cherished cause as long "a there was a
hope OF success, and when Il failed H.
abandoned II forever and turned It's at
tention TO repairing the ravages OF war.
The great masses OF the people have
agreed tbut the war is ~ nm end, politi-
cally, as well as from Il military point Of
view. There is no issue whatever be-
tween the North and the South. The ef-
fort 10 make il appear that there is Is as
vain as ~ Is ridiculous.
THERE'S no danger that the South will

whipping post craze in many parts Of the
country. Public sentiment nearly every

Gus scamps as the man who broke two
plate glass windows on Chestnut street

done was great, and Inconvenience
