The President and the Cattlemen.
The cattlemen are not having every
thing their own way with this administra-
ton. There is no reason, however, for
thinking that they are not being treat d
with exact Justice. They appear 10 be
the kind Of people who take everything
they can get without regard TO the rights
Of others.
They thought that they were very I'M
justly treated when they were ordered on
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation
in the Indian Territory. For several days
their committees we're at Washington try
ing TO get an extension OF the time within
which they were requested TO move their
herds. The President and Secretary La
mar heard what they had to say. but did
not grant their application for more time.
The fact is, the cattlemen who have
taken up the best lands in the Indian Ter
ritory are not entitled to any favor. They
Knew that they were taking great risks,
when they entered the territory. and that
there was no law there that would
afford their property protection. The
Interior Department made grave
mistake in permitting them to
occupy the Indian reservations, and
the action of Secretary Teller, in this
matter, ought to he Investigated. 1t is
true that he did not grant them permits
sion, but he said that he would neither
approve nor disapprOye Of their action IN
renting grazing lands from the Indians.
II seems strange that Cabinet officer
should have shirked responsibility in
that way.
In his proclamation the other day, or
dering all fences on public lands to be re-
moved, the President hit the cattlemen
another heavy blow, but it was a blow
they deserved. Their practice of fencing
up public lands for their private use was
an outrage that had already been borne
with patience too long. They were maxi
ing the sale of public lands impossible
because settlers couldn't get possession OF
what they purchased. What right have
cattlemen or any other class OF people to
the exclusive use Of government lands?
The President is dealing with the cattle
companies in a way that will meet popu-
lar approval. If there is one thing that
the people like more than any other in
chief magistrate it is disposition to pro-
teot their rights under any and all cir
cumstances. President Cleveland is not
the tool of capitalists and monopolists.
He is showing himself to be the friend Of
the people. While he is at the head of
the government rich men of England and
this country, who are believed to have the
1a.r g.,e, a.
panies, will not be permitted to deprive
the Indians of their lands or divert
settlers from the public domains.

A Word to the County Commits
siOners,

The accident at the hospital Tuesday
night calls attention to matter that has
been frequently discussed by the authori-
ties and the physicians of this city. The
matter in question is that there is no
place in the county where insane persons
can be properly cared for pending tie ex-
animation that Is necessary to secure
their admission into the insane asylum.
There are five insane persons at present
at the hospital. There are no accommo-
dations for them there, and the hospital is
not the place for them. They are adj
mitted there because there is no other
place in the county where they can be so
well cared for. They ought not to be
there, however, because they are liable to
disturb and annoy the patients for whom
the hospital is intended.
Insane persons when violent are some
times confined at the police barracks and
sometimes at the jail, but there are no ia
oilities at either place for properly caring
for them. 1t is cruel to place them
where they are liable to do themselves
an injury. .o.s
The County Commissioners ought 10
have provided the means long before this
for caring, temporarily, for the insane OF
the county. That they have not done so
has occasioned considerable comment.
1t is to be hoped that when they build
the proposed new jail they Will see to 1t
that the city is no longer without a place
where insane persons can he taken care
of IN accordance with the dictates of
humanity. t.-d-

The. assignees OF Mr.. Roach, the at
tOrney of Mr.. Roach and the Secretary Of
the Navy, have, it seems, reached an
Mr.. Roach had with the government for
building steel cruisers, that is satisfactory
to all parties interested.
The government undertakes to complete
the three unfinished cruisers in the
Roach shipyard at Chester. Mr.. R0ach's
assignees will have every opportunity TO
see that the interests Of their principal
are fully protected. After the vessels are
completed Mr.. Roach will be at liberty TO
gather together the remnant of his for
tune, which doubtless will be large, and
retire to some quiet spot to spend the bal
ance OF his days in peace and plenty.
The working men of the Chester yard
who 20 bitterly denounced Secretary
Whitney as the author Of Mr.. Roach's
financial ruin and, therefore, as having
deprived them OF the means of earning
bread for their families, Will now agree,
doubtless. that the Secretary did no more
than his duty in rejecting the dispatch
boat Dolphin. and that instead OF trying to
seek popular favor at their expense he
has exerted himself 20 make an arrange
ment for their benefit. They will all soon
be at work again and earning fully as
good wages rs they earned before Mr.
Roach's assignment.
There are some things about Mr..
Roach's assignment that are not easy to
understand. IL seems that for the four
vessels be contracted to construct he was
TO receive 81, 100000. AT the time Of the
assignment he had received Of this SUN "A
little more than $2,OOO,OOO and he had
completed only one vessel. What had
become Of Mr.. R)ach's capital and what
had become Of the S2,O00,OOOs He Ger.
taInly didn't use the entire amount
on the vessels, because he
finished only one OF them, and
the others are in a very incomplete condi-
ton. The chief reason given for the
assignment WIS that the rejection OF the
Dolphin had destroyed Mr.. Roach's credit.
IL would seem as II be- ought not 10 have
needed much, II any, money beyond what
be had drawn from the government TO
compete the vessels. Perhaps the amount
Mr.. Roach gave towards Biaine's election
expenses was much more than 100000.

Mr.. Graves. the Chief of the Bureau Of En-
