JUsTUs SCHwAB, the blatant BOBBY aud
head and front Of the New York Socialists,
claims that the agitators will now receive tens
of thousands of access;ons from the country
on account Of the obnoxious game laws, which
allow sportsman with rod and gun to do
pretty much as he pleases, but do not allow
the humble countryman to capture game or
fish to satisfy the cravings of hunger. The
people of the rural districts of New York may
be indignant at the laws now prevailing, but
if they are they will hardly resort to violence
TO have them changed. A man who is not
drunk and is not a dead-beat or knave, looks
at these matters little differently than Mr.
Schwab does. If Schwab was to beat the
bushes from one end of New York to the other
he. could not scare up ten converts that were
not tramps or fugitiyes from justice

THE INDIAN TERRITORY LEASES
Effect the Presidents Proclamation Ordering
Their Vacation.

ST. LOUIS, July pa dispatch from Austin,
Tex, says the proclamation of President Clevo
land, ordering the removal of cattiemen from
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations, is
complicating matters a good deal, and is likely
to cause trouble to persons other than the actual
lessees of the lands in question. The dispatch
adds: During last winter, an agreement was
made with the lessees in the Indian Territory,
by certain cattlemen, here and elsewhere, to
Craze their cattle until ready for market
Under this arrangement during the past
spring Seth Mabry we'll known in Kansas City
and st. Louis, delivered % GEO yearings on the
range in the Territory; Houghton s. Montgom
cry of Austin, 900; Tony & Co.. of Austin,
10, 900; John Lytle of San Antonio Is, 900, and
others quite large number. The proclamation
will compel the removal of these cattle, as we'll
as those belonging to the lessees, and it is under
stood they will be driven north 1t is said steps
will be taken to make tho Indian Territory
lessees pay all costs and damages of moving
this stock. The order of the President meets
with approval among stock men here.

HIS OItiinate purpose In Crushing kOachS
hip-Building Interest.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, July 26-The people here are
gradually coming to understand Secretary Whit
ney's purpose in crushing out John Roach, and
taking the bread out of the mouths of thousands
Of men, women and children. His little game is
very big and far-reaching one. 1t means
nothing less than the crushing out of all private
yards like Roach's, and the building of our
future cruisers at our socalled navy yards. II
is true that the government does not own SIN
gle yard which has the plant required to build
armored cruisers but that is all the better for
Whltneys purpose, for it will necessitate the ex
penGiture of millions of dollars in procuring and
setting up the needed plant, the expenditure of
which will afford rich pjckings for favorites and
also ample funds for election purposes. Every
navy yard will then be nothing more nor less than
an organized Democratic club each member of
which will be under pay the year round. In the
good old Democratic times these navy yards
were always counted upon one of
the great resources of the then dominant
party in campaign times, and they were utilized
with crushing effect, and for all they were
worth. Let anyone hunt up the history of our
navy yards during the twenty years running
from 1910 to 1860, and they will then under
stand what Secretary Whitney is driving at
And Republicans may as we'll understand that
from now all these yards, and every other
power and resource the possession of the gov
eminent gives them, will be remorselessly used
by the Democrats to retain control Of the gov
eminent, and to consolidate their power. Some
surmise that Whitney is aiming to secure the
Democratic nomination for himself in 1883,
when not only the navy yards, but also the
untold millions possessed by himself and Senator
Payne, and Of the Standard Coal Oil Company,
will be utilized to purchase the election, just as
the same resources secured the senatorship for
Payne over the heads of Thurman and score
of other more deserving Democrats in Ohio.
The people should keep an eye on the head of
our Navy Department, from now on till March

built in the style Of bygone centuries, each

The Very Bad Treatment Accorded the
ShankIins in Filling the Office.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WAsHINGToN, July 26--In Indiana circles
here there is an impression that the Shanklins
have been badly treated at the hands of the
administration in the appointment of postmas-
ter at Evansville. James ". Lauer was chosen
against Captain F. P. Carson, who was the
choice of the Shanklin brothers, editors and
proprietors of the Courier the leading Demo
cratic newspaper in the Pocket. Lauer was ap-
pointed at the instance of Congressman Keiner
For some time before the dispute over the
postmastership at Evansville was determined
Major George w. Shanklin was here in the in
terest of Carson. He paid frequent visits to the
Postofice Department and White House. and
served his constituent faithfully. Major Shank

tary of State, are influential Demo
Gratis in this section of the State,
and, with so powerful an instrument as the
Evansville Daily Courier have been doing telling
work for the party. They naturally supposed
as did their friends, that as little as they could
ask of the administration was the naming Of the
postmaster at their own home. Especially did
of the fact that Congressman Kleiner is a resi-
dent of the First district only in name having
purchased property in Dakota and announced
his intention of taking up his permanent abode
there at the expiration of his congressional
term.
1t was made strong point at the White House
that kleiner was not, in point of truth, repre-
sentative of the State of Indiana since becoming
an inhabitant of Dakota, and that, therefore,
since he could not and would not, as by his own
announcement, take part fn Indiana politics
after March 4, 1887, he should not be
permitted to dictate who should fill the Offices
for others. But the question resolved itself into
the blunt point of whether Democratic con-
gresham should not be the dictator of Office
filing in his own district. even though he did
intend to withdraw from the State; and Kleiner
won.
II venture the assertion that the Kleiner wing
Of the party in the First district will regret hav
ing forced the fight on the Shanklns," observed
a Democrat from that portion of the State, ad-
dressing the Journal correspondent, "for the
Shanklins will turn their batteries upon the
Klener crowd in a telling way now. 1t was UNI
just that they were not permitted to name the
postmaster at Evansville, for what interest has
kleiner in the matter now, except to contend
with the Shanklias and serve his personal ends?

Kelley is a very small potato, and it is a

his commission to Italy was blunder, what

he is better fitted, or send him back to his

AT the very moment that John Roach &
Sons were being pushed into bankruptcy by
she Secretary Of the Navy and the Attorney
general, the Treasurer of the United States
was in New York city borrowing gold for the
federal Treasury. These are innovations in
the way of transactng the country's business,
and must be part of the great scheme of
reform promised by the Democratic party last
year. A little less of it would be great deal
better for the country.

THE negro question seems in fair way of
settlement in the South without legislation or
interference. 1t is no uncommon thing now
to hear of riots and whippings by mobs of
railway agents, who presume to solicit negroes
to emigrate to other States. This kind of af-
fair happened last week at Waterloo, S. c.,
to j. l.. Milan, passenger agent Of the East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railway, who
visited that place for the purpose Of securing
transportation for six negro women, who
wanted to 60 to Arkansas to join their hus-
bands, who had preceded them. The enraged
citizens captured Mr.. Milan, after shooting at
him about twenty times, tied his hands and
beat him numerically, after which they led
him for four hours through the woods and let
him CO. warning him that he would be killed
if he returned. Their wrath was excited be-
cause of their objection to negroes leaving the
State Here is an unexpected solution Of a
very vexatious question. The very moment
the South comes to full! appreciation of the
negro as a factor in political economy,
and one that the South cannot
afford to have eliminated, that
moment the colored man is comparatively Sc
cure from abuse and harm. The resentment
expressed at Waterloo has found expression
in various Southern papers, which have in
Weighed against negro emigration. The South
needs the negro, and needs every possible i'm
migrant that can be induced to come in. Fair
treatment, equal rights to ALL and the laws

more for the South than all that can be got
