In closing an INTEREST," ng letter to the
national Civil Service Reform assocIa-
ton Gov. Cleveland clearly indicates
what his course will be in the matter OF
removing officers. He says:
There Is class of government SER
wants which are not within the letter of
the civil service statute, but which are
so disconnected with the policy Of an
administration that removal thersfrom
Of the present incumbents, in my opin-
ion, should not be made during the term
for which they were appointed solely on
partisan grounds and for the purpose of
putting in their places those who are in
political accord with the appointing
power, but many now holding such pos
itions have forfeited all just claim to re-
tentiOn because they have used their
places for party purposes in disregard of
their duty to the people, and because
instead of being decent public servants
they have proved themselves offensive
partisans and INSCRIPTIONS manipul-
ators of local party management. The
lessons or the past should be unlearned,
and such officials, as well as their
successors, should be taught that ell
cheney, fitness and devotion to public
duty are the conditions Of their continu-
ance in public place and that the quiet
and unobtrusive exercise of individual
political rights is the reasonable meas
ure oftheir party service. IshOuld deem
1t entirely proper to remind them that
though the coming administration is to
be democratic due regard for the peo-
pies interest does not permit faithful
party work TO be always rewarded by
appointment to Office, and to say to them
that while democrats may expect all
proper consideration In selections for
Office not embraced within civil service
rules it will be based upon sufficient in
quiry as TO Fitness, instituted by those
charged with that duty rather than upon
persistent importantly or self-solicited
recommendations On behalf Of candi-
dates for appointment.

fore the congressional committee in the
Investigation Of the leases Of Indian
lands to stockmen. Senator Vest, Of
Missouri, started the investigation by
introducing resolution into the senate
several weeks since, and 1t now appears
that the subject win be one of more
than ordinary interest. Ever since the
stockmen leased the Cherokee Strip,
nearly two years ago, for an annual
rental Of 100000. and divided it into
ranges, there has been dissatisfaction
existing. Those stockmen who had no
established range on the Strip-who
had not previously paid a grazing tax
to the Cherokee nation-were not al
lowed to suitcase from the Cherokee
Strip Association, the present lessees,
and these disappointed stOckuen are
the ones who first raised the cry Of fraud
and bribery. Had every applicant for
pasture been admitted on an equality
with his brethren who had been grazing
his cattle on the Strip for years, there
might not have been a resolution asking
for an investigation. But 1t is so nat
ural for disappointed men to play the
dog in the Manager" act.
A short time after the Cherokee lease
had been contaminated, q party Of
stockmen entered into a similar lease
with the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indi-
ans. This lease will also be investi-
gated.
The impression prevails, whether
with reason or not, remains to be seen,
that the stockmen were guilty Of whole
sale bribery and corruption in securing
the leases; that the rental money Is but
a small portion Of the annual outlay
they make in order to keep up their
lease, and that the officers Of the gov
eminent and the representatives Of the
Indian tribes have been paid large sums
for their influence and official endorse
ment OF the leases.

Ex-senator sharon, with his ten mil

the millionaire's weakness and induced
him to sign n marriage contract. In
