The New York Herald calls the attention
of congress to the fact that 262. 600 Indians
hold 1874 OO0 600 acres of land in the heart
Of the United States. A large part of this
thew have been allowed. under Republican
mismaL agement, to lease out to cattle syn
dictates. while white family is allowed to
take up only 100 acres for homestead. 1t
is about time that congress was doing some
thing to protect the public domain as well
as the Indian reservations from the rapa-
ci.us cattle barOns. If the presidents pol
icy of dividing up the Indian reservations
and parcelling the lands TO the Indians in
severalty is the wisest policy to pursue
then congress should at once proceed to put
il into execution. If congress has wiser
plan, then let it put that into execution.
But let something be done. and let it be
done Immediately. The reign of the cattle
baronS should be brought 10 an abrupt ter
mination, and the unsettled sections of the
country be placed at the disposal of honest
settlers. Honest farmers are of more ben

General Freight Agent Kerr, of the Vest
eru division of the Central Pacific railroad
has issued a. circular 10 the effect that there
has been regular system OF overlooking
freight cars, on tnat division. and this has

granting receipts. Cars should not be loaded
beyt nd their stencilled capacity, with the ex-
ceptiun that cars marked to carry ~, 100
pounds wnen consigned to points east of
Port Arthur and west of Conmore, must not

American ports than to jeopardize at some
time in the future, property which is even
now estimated to be worth something like
five thousand millions of dollars. And not
alone should the coast line be adequately
protected. but our northern and northwest

that direction we are lamentably weak. and
in the improbable event of trouble with
England, would be exposed to immediate

is one of vital interest to which. with far
more advantage to the country than most

congress might well devote itself.

ers of G. g. Green's factory went out on a
strike yesterday. This action was surprise
to many of the blowers, as we'll as to the en-
poyers and to the public. The understand
ing had been that the men we're determined
to abide by the laws of the compromise, upon
which they went to work in October and had
recentls given the employ rs assurance that
such was the case The strike was brought
about through the apprentices. Master
Workman Coffey was at Woodbury. on Mon
day night and held meeting which was at
tended by The apprentices and few of the
journeymen. As a result of Cote g persua-
sien, the apprentices refused to work yester-
day morning. and so stopped the factory. A
meeting of all the blowers and apprentices
was held in the afternoon, and the majority
voted to stand b. the Atlantic City resolution
and break the agreement upon which they
were working Mr.. Green says his Intention
is to put out the fires and not start again this

division of Dakota. and will put il through

singular coincidence with these utter

The Queens Ma me

London World.
Considering the strained relations with
Russia, which have marked the whole
course of the queens reign. it is remarkable
that her first name Alexandria. should
have been conferred upon her in honor of
the then reigning car. of whom the Duke
of Kent was All admirer. and who was our
faithful and close ally. George ~. was to
have contributed another name. Georgiana
But Georgiana Alexandria would have de-
prived the emperor of the place of prece-
dence. and Alexandria Georgana would
have derogated from the claims of the name
borne by the actual king of England, and
all his Hanoverian pred 4cessors. The name
of the queens mother was therefore substi-
tuted for that of her uncle. In the COM
mencement of the chrlsten ng of the new
born princess, she was called Aleyandrina
Victore but the second name was speedily
Anglicized or LatiniZed into Victoria. A
little before William Tvs death. there
was some futter among official people as tn
the designation under which the queen
expectant should be proclaimed. Among
other absurd suggestions there was one that
she should be styled Elizabeth IL.

The Misunderstanding racket as between
great men was played out in this country
tWenty-on one years ago. when Gen. Sherman
. showed his ll-tenper and his ill-breeding
by refusing the proffered hand of Edwin
NJ. Stanton. Mr.. Blaine can hardly sue
coed in reviving and popularizing that
particular form of expressing personal dis
respect by selecting funeral as the occa-
sion. and a man like Senator Edmunds as
the object and example. Mr.. Blaine has
in the past few years extended the hand of
fellowship to men who have said worse
things Of him than Senator Edmunds ever
said-the men. for instance, who defeated
him in Cincinnati in 1876. 1t may be that
Mr.. Edmunds erred, under the circum-
stances, in extending his hand to Mr..
Blaine. but if SO it was an error on the
right side, while Mr.. BIaine's refusal was
an error on the wrong side. Mr.. Blaine
can hardly expect to win back to the fold

their chief shepherd.

TIE Goa DEFENSEs.

While the far West is not directly inter-
ested in the question of coast defences, she
can ali the more confidently be trusted to
look upon the matter from all unbiased and
common sense point of view. And viewing
the matter IN this light the delay of con-
gress in properly providing for a system of
coast defenses appears to be inexcusable.
The statement is susceptible of proof that
any one of the third class powers possesses
an irOn-clad of sufficient power to lie off
any of our coast cities beyond the reach of
such guns as we now possess and knock the
city into snthereens. 1t is not probable
that we will sOon engage in foreign war.

FoRCTNG THE ISSUE.

There is q manifest disposition among
the leading Democrats in congress to DIS
cinline Mr.. Randall. In consideration that
the country recognizes that the tariff IS the
principal issue between the two leading
PARTIES. the Democratic leaders have an idea
that the Democratic party must make dis
met record on this issue. The senate
being Republican, of course there is no eX-
pectation of anything in that quarter. In
he house of representatives the matter
takes another phase. The Democratic ma
jority in the lower house is relied upon to
pass tariff bill which will be an interpre-
tatiun of the Democratic doctrine on this
issue. The difficulty heretofore, and still
existing is Mir. Randall and his Democratic
contingent Of proteetionistS. This con-
tingent is strong enough with the Republl-
can vote to defeat any Dill that the Demo
Gratis propose in the interest of tariff reform.
1t will be impossible for the next house OF
representatives TO pass bill reducing the
tariff TO revenue basis unless Randall and
his followers fall into line. Now that the
president has spoken his views
so clearly and distinctly in favor
of tariff revision the Democratic refOrmers
are encouraged to strengthen their position
In recent interview Senator MAXEY. OF
Texas. expressed the opinion that the tariff
reform Democrats would be justified in
throwing Mr.. RANDALL overheard anC
forcing him into the Republican party if he
continued longer to be an obstacle to tariff
reduction Senator MAXEY'S opinion was
that it would be better for the Democrats tC
be in a minority in both branches of con-
gress and stand solidly in favor Of tariff re-
form than to have control of both branches
and be divided on this issue. Senator
MAxEY is not alone in this opinion. Other
Democrats take the same view of the stu-
alton. and the probabilities are that by the
time the next congress assemblies Mr.. RAN
DALI will have to play the coon act, and
come down gracefully in support of tariff
revision and tariff reduction, or he will have
to take up his permanent quarters on the
other side Of the political fence. The tariff
is becoming too important an issue to be
trifed with, and the situation is too critical
for the Democratic party to occupy any
halfway ground.

THE FISHERIES TROUBLE.

1t is gratifying to observe that while
Secretary BANARD maintains a fair and
digniied position in his correspondence with
the British government relative to the fish
cries trouble. still he exhibits decided firm
ness and insists that American citizens shall
be protected from British OutrageS. The
British government may not have been
primarily responsible for the outrages, but
it is the duty of this government to hold ii
to strict accountability unless proper rep
aration is made. The secretary of state
cannot stand too firmly in this matter to
please the American people.
