Hard Work for Senator Lamar.

Philadelphia Times
If Senator Lamar shall carry out his
reported intention of abrogating the So
called leases which the western cattle
gamblers have secured on Indian reser-
vations, he will deserve the thanks of
the country. These leases have been
made without authority of law, as even
the interior department has been forced
to confess, but the cattle men have,
nevertheless, been permitted to get such
a hold upon the lands in question that it
will probably require the application of
a heroic policy to enable the government
to confirm the Indians in their undoubt-
ed rights.
1t was scarcely reasonable to expect
that Teller. the secretary of the interior,
should protect the government from any
kind Of attack which was or might be
made upon the public lands. He had
what might be termed the distinctively
frontier idea of the rights of Indians and
! the government. This class of men pro-
ceeds upon the assumption that neither
of these parties has any rights which a
cattle speculator or timber thief or a
proprietor of a silver mine is bound to
respect. AS a natural result the Indian
reservations have been illegally leased
and the government lands on the plains
illegally fenced, not only without a
word of protest or sign Of action from
the interior department. but with quasi
encouragement.
It is naturally expected that the new
administration will change all this, not
because it is new, but from the supposed
desire and the recognized necessity of
mixing up little honesty and some res
pect for law in the conduct of public af-
fairs. These cattle men have long been
known to be public plunderers, no bet
ter the other thieves who consider the
weak or the government their natural
prey. As such they should be ordered
off the Indian lands and, if they refuse
to go. should be driven off by troops,
while measures should be taken against
them for fencing in the public lands in
spite of the law.
1t is desirable that thieves and jobbers
in Washington should be closely watched
} and no opportunities given them for car
} rying on their business; but at the same
time these no less dangerous thieves Of
land and transgressors of the rights o.
) others should be dealt with no less vigor
= ously.

A Higher Standard .
I. 0. Times-Democrat.

~ ~ Lihlt5- I'CAilObiabs
One of the leading republican papers
ofthe country recently remarked: "There
is, when one comes to think Of it, a Won
derful amount of encouragement in the
expectations both Of republicans and
democrats in regard to the new admins
tration." The standard set for Cleveland
in the matter of administration is, it
thinks, much higher than that set for
any of his predecessors. and it goes on to
cite certain actions Of Hayes, Garfield
and other presidents which created but
little excitement at the time, but which,
if Cleveland were to immitate to-day,
would shock the country. Never have
the critics been so stern and eXacting as
they are, and they actually expect Cleve-
land to make appointments which will
be satisfactory to the whole country, re
publicans as well as democrats, whereas
in the days of the republican presidents
the latter were thought to be doing well
if they made nominations that even a
majority of their own party could ap-
prove.
This shows an excellent state of things,
our republican contemporary thinks, a
great advance in public opinion, which
demands so much more from Mr.. Cleve-
land than it did from republican presi-
dents; and which would be shocked if he
committed one of the smallest abuses of
+r,zt ,rb;oI, ,.op,,IIino,, ,,roe;Io,,+. have
for years, been committing by the dozen
with impunity.
There is no doubt but the standard of
the country has been raised and that
more is looked for from the president
than ever before 1t is a high tribute to
the democratic party and to Cleveland
that such should be the case, illustrating
an improvement in popular and political
morality that has been going on for
many years, and which played so large a
/ part in bringing the democrats into pow
! er again. That there should have been
corruption in our government in the Pc
riod Immediately following the war was
J to be expected-tbat is a natural sequence
of civil disturbances and warfare. But
from that period to this there has been a
steady improvement in our government,
due wholly 10 the standard being raised.
The republican party under Arthur show
ed it's cleanest and best record, and this
is followed to-day by the high standard
that prevails under the present demo,
cratic administration. We may not be
growing better and more virtuous peo,
pie, but we can certainly claim that our
popular and democratic government has
made the administration of our affairs
constantly purer and nobler from year tC
year and raised tho standard tenfold
higher

in measures Sudiously concealed from
the British Government and planned
in a spirit unfriendly to Great Britain
and for objects hostile to her interests"
II is worth noting that at the very
time when this tersc and unanswerable
exposure OF Russian duplicity was
being written, the Russian Ministry
was as il has been lately ready with
"a frank and spontaneous explanation,
in order completely 90 remove appre-
tensions as to the intentions and views
of our government with regard TO the
affairs Of Asia"
In 1860 England and India were
again excited by the rapid advance
OF Russian troops toward the frontier
OF India The Earl OF Clarendon spoke
out boldly in protes, to the Russian
Minister. As result there was a pro-
posa to which Prince Gor,schakof
readily agreed, with a well-assumed
appearance OF good faith, that there
should be recognition of some ter
ritory as neutral between the possessions
OF England and Russia, which should be
the limit of those possessions, and be
scrupulously respected by both powers
So far as diplomacy may go, the set
Element was made on this basis, and
later on the smooth and plausible
Gortsohakof declared deliberately "tha,
he saw no objection whatever to Eng
lish officers visiting Cabul, though he
agreed with Lord Mayo that Russian
agents should not do so"
But in 1870 there began to be
rumors that the Russian agents were
preparing the way for the capture OF
Khiva. Gor,schakoff distinctly, re-
peatedly and handsomely lied his gov
eminent through the year, constantly
protesting the innocence of its conduct
and intentions. At last, early in 1871,
there were so many reports of various
movements toward khiva, that the Rus
sian Government had to admit part Of
wha, all Europe knew, but stated
solemnly that:
"The Imperial Government would
still continue patient and forbearing in
the hope that the Khan of khiva
would finally listen to the voice of
reason and prudence. All that the I'm
penal Government required from the
Khan of Khiva was that commerce
should not be endangered by the hos
| tile tribes which invest the khante, and
that Russian subjects should not be
exposed to illegal seizure and imprison-
ment."
So, in 1872, Count Schouvalof was
deputed by the Car to explain away
the notorious proofs OF Russian designs
on Khiva, and he made lot of solemn
statements that turned out to be false
and misleading. But after all this diplo-
matte lying, the end was reached and
khiva was taken, as Merv was taken
afterward. 1t is a most interesting
though somewhat monotonous-r
of the successive and temporarily sue
cessful Russian lies and false promises.
At last the end of English credulity
seems to have been reached and the
least warlike of English statesmen is in
command of all the resources Of an en-
pire practically unanimous for war.-
