PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has issued
u proclamation admonishing all par
ties against making forcible entry
or taking unlawful possession Of
the Oklahoma Reservation, which
is tract of land extending from
Red river in Indian territory to
the Kansas line, containing about
100000 acres. The tract is
some 800 miles in length, from
north to south, and 200 miles ir
breadth. 1t was purchased by The
government in 1866, of the Greek
Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasav enc
Seminole Indians, with q view t.
settling freedmen and friendly In
dians thereon. A good deal of th'
land is Of excellent quality, wei
vatered and tempting to land grab
bsrs. 1t is said that none of tn,
purchase money has been paid
while the lands obtained from tn,
Cherokees were by the terms o
sale to remain in possession of tn,
tribe until occupied and paid for
A body of "bo0mers" has been or
ganized to take forcible possession
of this tract of land; end the Pre-
clamation is q warning to thos
people that ''the military power c
the United States will be invoke,
to abate all such unauthorized DOS
session, to prevent such threstens
occupation, and to remove ell sue
intruders from said Indian lands.

TIE subject Of newspaper adver.

- - -
The subject Of newspaper ad7er-
tising has been brought prominent
ly before the people Of Oregon.
soue newspapers in Portland have
been making rather candid state
ments about tho meagre support
gi,sn TO the city press by the whole
sale merchants. The journals just
ly claim that the newspapers do
much to build up the place finan-
cially and commercially by drawing
attention to i:s advantages and
bringing trade and capital to It's
business men. The Board of Trade
Trade resents the imputation OF
lack of enterprise on the part OF
the business and monied men.
What is true of Portland is presum-
ably true in a lesser degree OF
every town in tie State. 1t will
scarcely, be denied by any one that
to have every respectable business
in town iudiciously ADVERTISED /
cannot fail to be Of permanent ben
eft. But there are those attempt
ing to do business who, lacking
local patriotism and broad business
principles and enterprise, cannot
appreciate any profit that does not
come 80 direct that they with their
limited knowledge and narrow
ideas can trace it TO its source. 1t
is useless to point out to such the
indirect benefits of advertising
Their local pride and spiri. of ell
terprise cannot be appealed to, for
they have none. There is a still
smaller class, found in all small
towns, who reason that if theil
neighbors advertise literally a diff
fersnt branch Of business they wa,
do not advertise will fall heir t.
the trade of the people thus attrac
ted to the town. These peopl
reason well, ard while thus payini
high tribute to the efficacy Of ad
vertisins, can afford, as they alway
do, to rail at the uselessness Of ad
vertising. They are usually smaI
men content to do small business
But there are those who honestl
believe that advertising does nc
pay. They may even have trie
it and proved it useless, to thei
satisfaction. No independent new
paper wants an ad frem such {
from any one else who does not al
vertise on the business principl
that he is getting, directly or il
directly, full value for the none
expended. The man who adys
tises good wares at low prices an
sells poor goods at high figures ms
soon conclude that advertising do
not pay; but the man who ac
fairly by the customers advertiser
brings will find it profitable j

POSTMASTER JONES
To be Investigated for Violating the Civil
Service Rules.

INDIANAPoLIs, Ind, July IS.
A short time since the executive committee
of the independent party preferred charges
against Postmaster Jones of this city, in
which he was charged with violating the letter
and spirit of the civil service law, in making
removals and appointments
A member of the committee visited Wash
ington and presented there the charges to
the President and as y result the Journal cor
respondent at the nstionsl capital announces
that Commissioner Thoman and Chief Ex-
aminer Lynch will arrive here tomorrow and
begin an investigation. Jones was appointed
at the instance of Vice President Hendricks
and the present phase of affairs creates great
interest in political circles
Commissioner Thorman and Chief Exam-
ncr Lynch of the civil service commission,
who are to investigate the charges made
against the postmaster here have requested
Postmaster Jones as a preliminary step to
the investigation to prepare answers to the
charges made by the Independents. An an
swer will at once be prepared. The proceed
ings are denounced by the democrats
Messrs. Thorman and Lynch are determined
to make thorough examination into the ad-
ministration of the post office.

citizens and soldiers alike. for the erection
of national monument 10 Gen. Grant. To
this end sction should be taken while the
feeling is fresh and strong. Posts of the G.
A Il. are organized in all parts Of the country
and can at once enter upon the work of
raising funds. 1t has been suggested that
each post appoint a committee who will un-
dertake to collect from soldiers and citizens
an amount equal to one dollar for each mem
Der of the post, and more il practicable
This with what can be raised IN New York
will be ample to build monument worthy of
the country, worthy of Gen. Grant ana
worthy of the cause of which he was the
great leader.
In regard TO your proposition that the G.
A. Il. erect statue for the capitol at Wash
ington, that also will be altogether fitting
and proper. Let us not however withhold
from the great national monument OF New
York the aid which the G. A. Il. Post can so
easily and effectively give. Two Posts OF
the H. A. t. in Fremont have already raised
more than the sum indicated and placed it on
deposit in bank to be transmitted TO the
proper committee IN New York. With
promptness and unity of action national
monument can be built BY the people without
resort to the government
