LEASING INDIAN LANDS.


Among the questions which will proba-
bly, engage the attention of the Indian
commission, of which Bishop WHIPPLE is
member, when it leaves Minnesota and
continues its labors in Montana, will be the
question OF leasing Indian lands to cattle
men and stock companies. The gentlemen
composing the commission are entirely UNI
biased in the matter, and will view it solely
from the standpoint OF justice and benefit
to the Indians. In doing so they cannot
but be impressed by the advantage which
would accrue to the Indians through the
leasing of their surplus lands for grazing
purposes An instance is found in the case
of the Cherokee Indians in the Indian ter
ritory. Possessing, as they do a deal of
land more than they can possibly use, the
privilege is granted at fixed rate per head to
various cattlemen to Craze their cattle on
the Indian lands. The sum thus
obtained is sufficient, when divided,
to give each Indian annually about SIG.
The Montana tribes could by similar ar
rangement secure a much larger income
The Blackfeet. Cheyennes and Crows all
have reservations which are largely in
excess of their needs and comprising ex-
cellent grazing land On the other hand,
the available territory open to public graz
ing has been almost entirely taken up. 1t
is of the greatest Importance to st. Paul as
we'll as to the entire Northwest that the great
stock industry should not be checked. The
leasing of a portion of the reservation to
stock growers would enable the industry to
acquire material and desirable growth and
would bring to the Indians much needed
and substantial cash income. The matter
is we'll worthy the careful consideration of
the commission.

PROHIBITION IN MISSISSIPPI.

Prohibition is at white heat in Mssis-
sippi. Down at Jackson, the capital of
the state, there is every appearance of an
impending conflict between the temperance
folks and those who love the cheering cup,
and each gale that sweeps from the sunny
South is liable to bring to our ears the clash
of resounding arms. The trouble is this:
The colored folks are all opposed to prohi-
bition. Nature didn't make the darkey for
temperance model. He is naturally fond
Of the good things of life and takes to
mug of beer or glass of Bourbon as natur-
ally as cat does to a cream cup. Under
the local option law recently passed by the
Mississippi state legislature the larger
towns and cities in the state are to have all
election to decide whether prohibition or
wide open temperance policy shall pre-
vail. 1t is a very exciting issue, and
the MiSsfssippianS are worked up over it.
The Prohibitionists are confined almost ex-
.lusively to the white element The
negroes are solidly against it. The result
Is that the white Prohibitionists have
adopted the shotgun policy, and declare
their purpose to have a reign of temper
to get it. The singular point of it Is that
the Prohibition movement is under the
direction of imported white leaders, who
have come from the pine hills of Maine
and the prairies of bloody Kansas to teach
the people of Mississippi how to enforce
temperance at the muzzle of shotgun
These leaders are the men who but year
or two ago joined JOHN SHERMAN in
crusade against the South because of the
COpiah county affair, and yet they have but
a week or two since carried Copiah county
for prohibition by the same processes
that they accused the Democrats of using
in carrying the elections. They hold it is
justifable to kill niggers to secure prohibit
ton; that the high moral principle involved
justifies any means to secure the desired
end In view of the turn that prohibition
has taken in Mississippi it is not so much
of surprise to hear Don CAMERON
preaching to his Pennsylvania constituency
that Republicanism and prohibition are one
and the same thing. 1t begins to look that
way.

NOT A RITZ

A correspondent who signs himself ga
Democrat" but who neglected to append
his name to his communication, writes to
the GLOBE to inquire ''it it does not take
q great deal of gall to refer to Mr. TILDEN as
'ex-President SAMUEL JONES TnDEN'?'
1t does not. There is nothing so easy as to
tell the truth. Mr.. TILDEN was as justly
entitled to the title of ''ex-president' as
ever GEORGE WASHINGTON was. There
is not fair-minded man, woman OF child
in the United States to-day who does not
believe that Mr.. TILDEN was fairly elected
to the presidency and that he was tricked
out of it. The GLOBE believes in calling a
spade spade. And when it speaks of R.
B. HAYES as a ''tearless hypocrite" it only
expresses a correct public estimate of the
man,

BAD TREATMENT.

When man is down he is friendless.
Mr.. GLADSTONE has occasion to be pain
fully reminded of this fact. When he took
his seat in the parliament house Thursday
afternoon he was received with distress
ing GOODNESS. When he went out from
thence few weeks ago he was the central
figure of the widest scenes of demonstra-
ton almost ever witnessed in the venerable
building. To-day he comes back only a
plain member from Midlothian. No one
rises up to do him honor and he takes his
seat in silence and in humiliation. Heis the
representative of defeated cause, for whom
there are no kind words from his fellow
members. He is the same GLADSTONE
to-day that he was two months ago. He is
as much of a statesman now as then. He
is still the great advocate of freedom, and
still the foremost man of his times in all
the qualities of true greatness. But for
tune has been tickle in dealing with him.
He is no longer the leader of the majority.
When his power declined his popularity
waned with it. Thus it is that kingdoms,
like republics, are ungrateful to their
truest champions. The lesson of GLAD
STONES humiliation is that in this queer
world of ours there is nothing succeeds
like success.

Will L. Visscher in Cheyenne Mirror
In the year 1869 this writer was publish
ing newspaper on the magnificent low
pressure steamer Richmone. which piled
between Louisville and New Orleans. The
vessel was 1900 tons burthen, nearly 500
feet long, and fitted up in truly palatial.
style. She had two cabins, beside the
texas" brass band and string band.
and the expense of running the craft was
enormous. The wife of wealthy Cuban
was passenger on the Richmond, accom-
panied by her little daughter child of
singular beauty.
Late one night lady in startling desha-
bile. with her profuse. dark hair disheveled
and streaming about her neck and shoulders
and over her somewhat exposed bust. burst
from the door of her State-roOm and ran to-
ward the gentlemen who sat smoking in
cabin, almost shrieking, My diamonds!
My diamonds are goner'
She was followed by her little daughter.
then child of tender years, who was cry
ing piteOusly, more doubtless over her
mothers distress than her loss. Someone
had reached through the transom of the
lady's stateroom, evidently from the lar
board side, and had cut the pocket from her
dress, which hung behind the door and had
thus secured a great mass of beautiful and
costly diamonds, worth hundreds of
thousands. Search was made. with no re-
suit. and a suit against the owners of the
Richmond was unsuccessful.
The lady who lost the diamonds was
Madame Yznaga, the mother of the present
Lady Vaudeville, and the little girl who
cried so piteously was the present Lady
Vaudeville herself, the future Duchess of
Manchester.

THE GRAMMAR ISSUE.

In recent interview the venerable Judge
THURMAN expressed the opinion that Mr..
HALsTEAD Of the Cincinnati Commercial
had made mistake in raising the grammar
issue against Senator LOGAN. He bases
his opinion on the belief that there are more
bad grammarians in political life than gen.
tlemen of literary culture, and when it comes
to fighting LOGAN on this issue, the Black
Jack warrior from the prairies of Illinois
will rally around his standard an invincible
legion. Men who devote their time to
study of the grammatical construction of
language rarely find an opportunity to get
into public life 1t is the ready, off-hand
gunner who generally bags the game. The
ough-and-tumble style of modern stump
oratory is more taking with the masses
than the most finished eloquence. There
is no incentive to the modern statesman to
study grammar. The average office holder
finds knowledge of the rules of arlth-
metic more useful to him than the princi-
Piles of syntax. If he understands addition,
satisfaction and division he can generally
manage to get along without knowing how
to conjugate verb. There is nothing in
