The New York Daily Indicator has been
publishing for week past interviews
with representative financial and business
men regarding the future of business,
and they all with great unanimity speak
of an improvement and give excellent
reasons for their belief in its continu-
ance. - james A. Garland, the banker,
says there is growth of confidence,
chiefly based on the low prices now pre-
vailing, the settlement OF the railroad
troubles and better feeling in Europe,
and that the stock market is getting fast
settled down ON firm investment basis.
Henry Clews, whom EVERY EVENING
has quoted before, says; 1T was
quite apparent to me month
ago that the lowest point which
the values of properties and commodi-
ties could reach had been attained, and
that turn in affairs from this cause alone
was evident. -Four years of liquidation
in values have been sufficient to over
come the evils of the imitation which pre-
coded 1881" A. s. Hatch expresses the
opinion that the worst of the depression
is over and that the improvement is be
ginning moderately. Mr.. Fahnestock
of the banking house of Wilson, LAME
& Co., declares that he finds decided
improvement in business everywhere
and that ii has every indication of being
permanent. Henry W. 7. Mali, whole
sale dry goods, says his business show
greatimprovement. VIM B. Kendall, earpe
manufacturer, says, "orders are comm
in faster than we can fill Them" Takin
all the interviews together their unite
testimony is strong enough to warrant u
in looking more cheerfully Mt the nea
future. The very feeling on the part c
any considerable number of capitalist
that bust ness is about to improve will d
much towards fastening that improve
ment. Under more liberal tariff syi
tenn the manufactures and commerce {
the nation would be in better conditio
to reap the benefit of such q businei
revival and to expand. their arm
until they enclosed fair wag'
and steady work for every deservir
American wage-worker. This liberation
this letting down of the bars which shl
us in from the markets of the world TN
have made our flag stranger to Il
seas-the rehabilitation and reinvigor
ton of our millions of unprotectt
workers by the practice of some judicio'
phlebotomy upon the oyerprotectt
few-these radical improvements f
which the country, grooming und
the inequalities of war tart
which has long outliyed its usefulnet
will come, step by step, slowly, gradual
but we trust surely, and with thu
approach we may look for this discourO
ing see-sawing of imitation and deprt
sion,-three or four years up and five
six down-to give way to better ayerag
and more lasting eras of general prt
perity.

Registrar Frazer quotes in his commune

be slow to believe that DR.. A. N. Bell, the
editor of such a magazine, would be in

fact remains that he came here in the

President Cleveland's proclamation of

President Cleyeland's proclamation of
Monday, after reciting the act of Con-
gress upon which it is based, says:
Now, therefore, l. Grover Cleveland,
President OF the United States, do hereby
order and direct that any and every un-
lawful enclosure of tue public lands, main
tanned by any person, association or corpo-
ration, be Immediately removed; and do
hereby forbid any person, association or
corporation from preventing or obstructing
| by means OF such enclosures, or by force
| threats or intimidation, any person entitled
| thereto from peaceably entering upon and
establishing settlement or residence on
any part of such public land which is sub
| iect to entry and settlement under the laws
| OF the United States.
And command and require each and
every officer of the United States, upon
| whom the duty is legally devolved, to cause
| this order to be obeyed, and all the progi-
sions of the act of Congress herein mon
| toned to be faithfully enforced.
The grasping cattle kings have had
their day. They have carried things with
high hand on the plains where the
buffalo once roved by the millions. They
have ignored the rights of all who stood
in their way, Having acquired the
ownership of outlying tracts, these big
cattle corporations ran their miles of
barbed wire fencing so as to
enclose not only their own posses
sions but those of prior settlers
and frequently large tracts of government
land. In some cases these fences obstruct
the passage of earlier settlers to and from
their lands, in Others they bar their way
to the only source of water supply, in
many others they keep ont intending
settlers. To cut a gap Though them was to
invite bullet from one of the hundreds
of herders in the employ of the corpora.
ton. Usually the only course left the
aggrieved farmers was in the end to sell
out their holdings for such price as the
cattle kings chose to give and seek new
homes elsewhere. President Cleyeland'i
proclamation is intended to remedy thes'
wrongs. The fences will have to go.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Hen1y Ward Beech CT was asked today which of the three can didates for mayor of Brooklyn he would sup port-General Catlin, Republican, Hon. D. D. Whitney, Democratic, or General Wood ward, the nominee of the citizens league. He declared himself in favor of Woodward because the others represented the "ma- chine" General Woodward was Democrat, but the office of mayor having been in the hands of Republican for two terms it was perfectly fair that it should now go to 8 Democrat. All that the Independents asked was that he should be in favor of the system of municipal administration which has pre- vailed for the past four years.

 ST. PAUL, Oct. 23.-The mystery of the identity of Maxwell, the murderer of c. Ar thur Preller, is cleared at last. Tonight his father, Samuel N. Brooks of Hyde, England, called at the jail and was admitted to the cell of the prisoner. When the old mans eyes fell upon the face of the younger he was terribly agitated and cried out: "Hugh, Hugh, it is indeed you!'' The prisoner rose and for the first time since his incarceration seemed to lose control of himself. ''It is, father, it is l." he cried, start ing forward toward his aged parent Then immediately controlling himself he stopped and sat down on a chair; the father staggered and would have fallen but for the support of attendants. He again gazed upon his son and said: "Oh Hugh. You had better be dead than here. Your mothers health is gone and the family 1uined," and sobbing fell into the arms of the guard. Maxwell sat in his chair looking annoyed, and but for the first recognition of his father exhibited no emotion. MT. Brooks in con versation afterwards said that he had no doubt whatever but that his son was insane. He said Hugh left home last January, osten- sibly to go to Dublin, since which time the family had heard nothing of him.
