The Cattle Trails.

WASHINGTON, July SIT is reported that
the obstruction OF cattle trails through the
Indian Territory, by settlers upon the
Cherokee strip, is engrossing the attention
of the Secretary OF the Interior. In answer
to complaints made by drovers that they
were not permitted to take their cattle
over the established trails, the Secretary
has telegraphed that no one had any right
to obstruct them, but nevertheless, it ap-
pears that the officers OF the Federal courts
in Kansas, whose Jurisdiction extends over
the Cherokee strip, have disregarded these
kilograms and persisted in excluding Texas

4 FOOLISH COMPARLSON.


Comnarison of the cost of Congress in $50
and ia 1885 is suggested by The Herald as a
means of enlightenng the country, and MEM
beers who are sincerely seeking for paths of
REFORM The aggregate expenses of Congress,
it is said, we're only 81, 232, 741 in 1860, and
were s3237,5 for the current fiscal year.
But there are several things to be considered.
before this comparison can be called instruct
i've. In 1860 there were GO Senators now
there are 76. Then there were 237 members of
the House now there are 325. The advance in
nav from S3, 900 TO So 900 a year has not been
greater than the advance in wages of many other
classes of persons, nor greater than the increase
in the cost of living at Washington. But upon
communication it will be found that the mere pay
of GO Senators, without any mileage, would
have been $198, 600 in 1860, whereas the pub
lished statement puts down only $lS9, 135 as
the compensation and mileage OF Senators"
Again, the mere pay of 237 members of the
House would have been $7l1 900, whereas the
published statement puts down only 1918 ,250
for the compensation and mileage" of MEM
beers. 1t is already evident, therefore, that the
published statement, as given by The HeralGS
Washington correspondent, needs reforming as
much as any branch of the Government
1t is not in compensation of members, direct
or indirect that there is injustice TO the people
men in Congress already. IL the United States
wants as efficient service as can be obtained in
| other business of importance and responsibility

was 70 he brought into practical use oy
making Typographical maps, under ,his
appropriation. The Governors ioonsa
veto only delays the practical use Oh
information which has cost the o.a'e
Sis 900. His reasons for vetoing the item
for the Adirondack Survey are equally ABSURD
This ia a work which should remain under the
direction of one competent head until COM
pleted. The State Engineer aud surveyor
changes every two years, and even II there
were not other reasons, that is sufficient Tor not
placing the work in his hands. The veto OF
the appropriation for stocking the waters OIL
the State with food fishes marks the Governor
as an exceedingly small politician. The enrct
of sucb use of the veto power is apt to be quite
different from what he expects.

it will have to pay such salaries as capable men
can and do command in other business-tne
more since there has ceased to be honor in the
mere possession of seat in Congress. But IL is
true beyond question that Congress now keeps
a great many more employees OF various aorts
than it needed twenty-five years ago, and pays
them more 1t is stated that the Senate, during
its last session, had 233 men on its rolls, and
the House 2S1. The advance in salaries paid
since 1860 has not been unreasonable. But
the methods of doing business have so COM
pletely changed that whole army OF men Is
now required to keep the machine moving at
all. IL somebody VIII reckon the number OF
bills offered, filed, referred, printed, examined
reported and acted upon, by each House In
1860 and 1885, he will quickly perceive that
the reform needed is not in the number of per-
sons employed or their pay, but in the kind OF
work which Congress permits to occupy its
inn

WILL TIE FORESTS BE SATEDi

The bill for the preservation of the Adiron-
dack forests which was passed by the Assem-
bly Yesterday is undoubtedly the best that can
be secured from this Legislature. 1t is much
superior measure to the one recently passed by
the Senate ; and taken in connection with Mr..
O'Neips bill for the taxation of State forest
lands, and the amendment to the penal code In
regard to forest fires, will, if they become laws,
make a creditable showing for legislation on
this subject. The sum appropriated, Sl5,OOO,
is insufficient to meet the requirements OF forest
preservation but as the Commissioners are to
serve without pay. it will do for beginning.
II is cause for regret that the three bills pre-
pared by the Forestry Commission, and intro
duced by Mr.. Hustled, could not secure the APP
proval of the Legislature. But the Senate,
under the lead Of two or three members. has
shown an unfortunate hostility to wise legisa-
ton on this subject. Whether it will continue
in this course by refusing to pass the Assembly
bills on this subject remains to be seen. Last
wear. through the course followed by the Senate
Finance Committee in delaying bills, Adiron-
dack legislation was practically defeated. 1t is
now so near the end of the session, that it will
be easy to defeat by delay the bills which yes
terday passed the Assembly. That Is what the
Iumbermen will seek to accomplish. They are
proiting, at the expense of the interests OF the
State, by the destruction of the forests which Is
now going on. 1t is hardly possible that Sena-
tors will take the responsibility of continuing
this state of affairs. 1t is a matter of serious
consequence to the sanitary and commercial in
terests of the people that these bills should be-
come laws They involve only very small APP
preparation. and will be beneficial to every per-
son concerned in the continued prosperity OF
the State. Hence the course of the Senators
will be watched with interest; and if they de-
feat the bills passed yesterday the responsibility
will be upon their shoulders.

VORDS 10 A MORALTST.

The morals of The Erening Post are looking
m. During the last political campaign 1t
shocked the sensbilities OF a community that
had mot forgotten that it had once been edited
by William Cullen Bryant by series of mon
strous articles condonlng immortality. Ii had
the shameless efrOntery to publish on It's
editorial page articles ms indecent and dem0r-
alizing as anything that had ever appeared IN
the most obscene police journals, with parade
of filthy details as repulsive as their publication
was Infamous. This is one OF the passages
illustrating its debauched mental and moral
state: "Chastity is a great virtue but every
man knows in his heart that it is not the
greatest Of virtues, that offences against II
have often been consistent with the possession
of all the qualities which ennoble human
nature and dignity human life and make
ahuman progress possible" At a crisis of its
campaign of degradation when it had placed
itself on record as the patron of immortality and
lewdness, it Published an enthusiastic letter
from the Rev Henry Ward Beecher recon-
mendng it as n safe family newspaper dis
coyery nobody else who had decent regard for
his reputation cared to make at that time.
lony interval has ensued, but at last two
anonymons admirers have been found ready to
ioin Mr. Beccher in this certificate ot good char
acter rs n journal which women and children
NAV read without fear and without reproach.
The patronizing manner in which these two
crednlous correspondents refer to it "a a
medium of sweetness and light encourages 1t to
belabor some of orr morning contemporaries
for devoting considerable space to the fate of
an unhappy singer whose name has been con-
nected with that of former bank Official now
in Ludlow Street Jail. In the name of the
decent households of the city it protests against
the enterprise of the journals in question and
demands in the shrl falsettO OF outraged
deceucy that the poor girls shame shall be
buried with her. and the columns OF respect
able newspapers be closed to such abominable
recitals. Well, as we have only published such
portions OF this sensational story as were
necessary, and have taken pains to pro-
tect our readers against all Objectionable de-
tails, we do not feel that the stern moralists
lecture is read for our benefit. Consequently
we can properly remind The Post that some
thing more than the certificates of Mr.. BeecheI
and these two additional apologists will be re-
ouired before its reputation 9s clean family
newspaper can be re-establi+hed. Until II
publicly recants the immoral teachings which II
made public last summer, or at least Apologies
to its readers for its foul ntterances and mon
strous ethics, it ought TO refrain from unneces-
sary criticism of its neighbors and suppress
testimonials to its chaste virtue which only
make it the laughing stock of the community.
