SAVING PUBLIC LANDS.
Forty-Flve Million Acres Absolutely Re
stored to Public Settlement.

Forty-Flve Million Acres Absolutely Re.
stored to Public Settlement.
The first task undertaken by the
Cleveland Administration on coming
into power in 1885 was reversal of
the Republican policy, maintained for
over twenty years. of granting inn
mense bodies of public land to rail-
road corporations and permitting other
corporations to appropriate other erlarge
areas without any warrant of law.
The grants to railroads were made on
conditions, but the Republican party
had shown itself SO favorable to the
companies that these conditions were
disregarded by the roads and not en-
forced by the Government, and the re-
suit was that when the Democratic Ad-
ministration came in it found the roads
claiming large bodies of land which
they had not earned by compliance
with the conditions of their grants. 1t
made forfeiture of these unearned
lands part of its policy and set to
work to enforce it, and the result up to
this time is before us in the report of the
Interior Department. The total
amount of lands restored to the pub
lie domain since March A. 1885. is 3D.
821, 489 acres. equal to the area of the
State of New York. In addition to
this IA, 23S. 913 acres have been recov-
cred by the canceling of fraudulent
entries. making an aggregate Of 49,
663, 1874 acres in all restored in the last
three years .1e
This is a good bit of work, and it
strikingly illustrates the popular char
acter of the present Administration in
contrast with the policy of favors to
corporations that marked the preced-
ing Republican Administrations. Sec
retary Lamar says in his report:
"Nothing can be surer safeguard in
a free community against the dominat-
ing influences of powerful corporations
and combinations Of capital than q
body Of independents small land-own-
ers living on their own freeholds,"
and the restoration Of 45.000.000 acres
to individual settlement is, therefore,
matter for emphatic congratulation. -

If there is any one idea In politics
that has been assiduously inculcated
in the minds of Republicans by those
who speak for their party it is that of
the supremacy Of the Federal Govern
ment. Republican statesmen have not
hesitated to pronounce the doctrine
Of Estates rights heresy, and only
a few years ago such an exercise
Of the sovereignty of State as
that which has just been sustained by
the Supreme Court in the case Of Vir-
ginia would have caused the average
Republican politician to ftoth at the
mouth with Indignation. But it seems
that Republican doctors disagree on
this question as they do with respect
to the tariff prohibition, the currency
and socialism. ..i' ~
If things keep going on this way we
may expect the Republican party in
due time to oppose impartial suffrage
and even to tackle kindly to the
speeches OF jeff Davis. Already John
Sherman has given out that he be-
lieves it was mistake. to enfranchise
the negro; not, Of course, that MI.
Sherman would just now disfranchise
the negro, but the hint is thrown out
tentatively that as the Republican
party gains but little by the votes of
the negroes and the Democrats gain
considerably by increased representa-
ton in Congress through impartial
suffrage, it would be better for the Re-
publican party if the negro were dis
franchised. So, you see, there is no
telling what hue the Republican
chameleon may assume next.-Harris-
