The claim made by the Democrats in re.

The claim made by the Democrats in re-
cent canvasses that it was high time TO have
look at the books has been abundantly
sustained. In every Department and in
almost every bureau Of the Government ir-
regularities are coming TO light. Secretary
Manning is overhauling the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, reorganizing the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and reducing this
charity hospital TO business principles, and
he is breaking up the ring which has fiched
the fifty millions or SO from the Treasury
by undertaking their importations. The
Agricultural Department has been over
hauled with results disastrous TO the reputa.
lions of Turveydrop Loring and his subor-
dinates. The land-grabbers have been
checked, and on every hand evidences Of
recklessness and extravaganza are coming TO
light. The last Bureau to be heard from is
the Coast Survey, the accounts of which
are under suspicion and investigation by
the Auditor. The wholesome feeling now is
hat all these investigations will be honest
ones, that the innocent will he vindicated
while the guilty will not be whitewashed.
For such is Democratic reform.

The Grand Army of the Republic never
did an act which will so much commend it
to the good opinion of the country as when
at Portland it voted by a large majority
against the project to pensions all the Union
survivors Of the Civil War. There are many
objections 10 this scheme besides the enor
nous burden il would put upon the Treasury.
The only true principle upon which military
pensions can be granted is that they are in
the nature of compensation for actual dis
ability incurred in the line of duty in the
service. No person has claim to pension
on account of a mere enlistment, or on
account of service, however honorable or
distinguished. The proposition to pension
all the surviving veterans is obnoxious for
another reason. 1t would put upon a roll
which ought to be one Of honor vast num-
ber of men who were soldiers only in name,
who never faced danger or heard a shot fired
in battle. If the benefit proposed could be
confined to those who actually fought the
rebellion little could be said against it, but
every SCARED veteran of the fighting armies
that saved the Union must resent the idea
that the pension he earned shall be shared
with the horde Of beats, bummers, and
bounty jumpers that were borne upon tn,
rolls of the Union armies.

Nothing is more certain than that the
foreign relations of England have been very
much improved by the advent of Conser-
vatfSs Ministry. This is apparent from the
tone Of the European press. The prospect
for peace has been sensibly bettered by the
change, though the Central Asian question
is now in a chronic state Of extreme tension.
With the frontier granted Russia by Mr..
Gladstone, the position Of the Ameer is
rendered permanently insecure and the only
safety for India is to be armed at all points.
Yet Russia is less likely to desire war when
English influence preponderates at Constan-
tinople, SO that her fleets can sweep the
Black Sea, and when the cabinets of London,
Berlin, and Vienna are in accord. The per-
manent interests OF the Powers are nowethe
same as they were when Beaconsfeld and
Salisbury, in concert with Prince Bismarck,
settled the Eastern question. The natural
alliances of Europe are Germany, England,
and Austria against Russia and France.
Not sggressively, but 70 curb their preten-
sions and maintain peace. The greed of
France in the Mediterranean and the East
brings her into constant autagonism with
England. She is now intriguing in Morocco
and making things unpleasant for her
former ally in Egypt, while her enterprises
in Cochin China threaten England's COM
mercial supremacy in the far East. Russia,
again, is a dangerous neighbor for Germany,
while her ambition to possess Constantinople
and her aspirations to the hegemony Of the
Slavonic races threaten the very existence Of
the Hapsburg Empire.

Some of our contemporaries comment
upon foreign affairs with most limited
knowledge of the geography of the countries
about which they write. Thus the editor of
the Post, speaking of the reported revolution
in Afghan Turkestan, says that I" Khansbad
'' is not on the maps" Readers of this edi-
torial will be not little curious to know
what maps in the Post Office are called "the
: maps" since Khana-i-bad is plainly
marked on all the maps we have seen,
while it is described in the Biographies and
encyclopedias as the summer residence of
the chiefs of the province Of Kunduz. The
is situated on the river Of the same name,
tributary of the Kunduz or Surkhab River,
which is considerable tributary Of the
Oxus. This journal long ago pointed out
that Afghan Turkestan would be the scene
of Russian intrigue, prediction which has
been fully verified.

The men who have done this illegal fencing in OF
the public domain have side to their story which
they try to tell with great force. They claim that
the land is worthless except for the purposes OF
grazing, and that they, by taking possession Of 1t
and rearing large herds OF cattle, adding the
wealth of the country, doing something for them
selves and for the people at large. Gen. Sparks
does not accept this fallacious reasoning by any
means. He holds that the honest settler is driven
away by the fences and that they must all be re.
moved.

very common way OF stealing the public lands
is for some man to hunt out good water or

JUSTICE BRADLEY.


No Likelihood of His Early Retirement from
the Bench.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug 3-Eyery two or three
days brilliant writer in the Democratic news
papers grnds out screed which is designed for
the purpose of removing Mr. Justice Bradley and
four or five others from the Supreme Bench, in
order that their places may be filed by Demo
Gratis. Mr. Bradley is to go, according to these
papers, before the coming session of Congress
closes, while the others will drop off within a
year or two. A gentleman who is on intimate
terms with number of justices Of the Supreme
Court of the United States said to your CORE
spondent today: sit is folly to talk Of the
retirement of Justice Bradley at pres
ent. 1t is true that he has attained
the age which allows him to step from
the bench. if he so elects, but it is very certain
that his colleagues are not anxious for him to 60.
He is a man Of surprising ability, and, in spite
of his age, is of the most active of the court
l do not think that he will retire for several
years, unless he should break down, and from
present indications that is scarcely likely. AS
to the Others they may or may not retire as they
reach their seventy years; but it is believed that
none of them are anxious for that day to arrive,
aud it is likely that the United States Supreme
bench will remain as it is now for several years.

THE CATTLE MEN.
They Present Their Case to the Secretary of
the Interior.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a delegation repre-
senting the cattlemen holding leases in the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe countries called upon
tho Secretary of the Interior this afternoon, and
were accorded an interview They represented
that compliance with the terms of the Presi-
dents proclamation, ordering the summary
removal of their cattle from the reservation,
would be ruinous to their interests. The quar-
antine regulations of Kansas and Colorado
against Texas cattle directly affected one
quarter of their possessions, and mas
much as the Texas cattle had,
despite all precautions, run with the others,
the regulations might operate against the whole.
Thus there was no. place to which these cattle
could be driven except southwark into Texas,
and Texas was already stocked to it's utmost
capacity. The quarantine regulations of Kansas
ard Colorado would permit movements of cattle
after the lst of December but the grass would
then be unfit for pasturage and the cattle
would starve. The delegation expressed
willingness and even desire
to remove their cattle as soon
as it can, without risk of serious disaster. If
the time could be extended until next April for
the beginning of the movement, giving them to
the 1st of July to complete it, they would be able
to remove all their stock, amounting to $50. 900
head. They represented briefly that many other
interests IN AL partS OF me country were feated
intimately to the cattle interests and were liable
to be affected by any sweeping
disaster which might fall upon the cattlemen.
They set forth that they believed they were
engaged in legitimate business enterprises when
they invested their money, and felt that they
were entitled to such consideration as is acceded
to other business interests.
Secretary Lamar listener attentively, and
asked questions from time to time, but, in view
of the fact that the delegation is to have an
interview with the President at 4 o'clock to-
morrow, he expressed no opinion On the subject
