The strangers of the House.

Some OF the southern Democratic papers
are very emphatic In their demand for the
passage OF the Blair educational bill. They
seem 10 understand at least that the reason
they have not hal 1t before is the same that
has prevented relief from the odIous In
ttrnal revenue taxes. The Democratic or
garlzation Of the House has been steadily
against their interests IN both respects, and
II is now. The Carlisle despotism will
choke the Blair bill as 1t did before.
The Charleston N,cs aHd Courier is
awake to this fact. 1t cries aloud for fair
play at the hands of its Democratic friends.
"What the public demand" 1t exclalms,
"is that there shall be square vote on tue
Blair bill in the House. Let 1t be a fair
fight" Well, who is going to fight 1t un-
fairly Not the Republicans. to be sure.
They tried to get It before the House 10 the
forty.ninth Congress, but Carlisle refused
them recognition, and It is said his course
was dictated by the Democratic machine
having telephone connection with the
white house.
Then the Ncrs gets hotter as It proceeds,
probably because the conduct OF its party
leaders grows monstrous with reflection.
mo stabs In the back!n It shouts. mo
garroHng No shooting from behind the
hedge No assassination" And thus this
organic fire eater of the south auuts a
very bloody shirt In the face of the country.
It may be alleged in extenuation that the
blood is metaphorIc: but yet tue spirit is uu.
| traternal and 'i.urAtIvely ierocious. 1t is
even abreast Of the average Dem m,crAt!c
| harmony.
Does Chief Eugiueer Carlisle hear the cry
# his brethren from the far south IL II
more piercing than the Oft repeated cry OF
Virginia for a "fair lght' and candid
hearing win the machinery oil the House
work to the advantage OF the patient aud
loug.sulIering communities, OF Will 1t crea
and halt until the ter"ors Of presiie1tIi Al

Let the brethren OF the south look t1 tn;

a gentleman OF the professional emf
nepce OF Bourke Cochran has little need Of

y Democratic contemporary which ac-
cepts the doctrine Of the party caucus, aud
under its inspiration masters all subjects
at sight, and Is somewhat rash and reck

in its discussion OF Mr.. Cockran's speech
or the ite.Lowry contest from the
standpoint of party dictation.
We confess 1t is gratifying from party
standpoint to know that Capt. Whites title

Capt. White was a Democrat instead OF

Mr.. Cockran's statement Of the situation

record Is not judgment. /. is only the
evidence OF one. 1he record may be lost

Henry George and free Trade.

Mr.. Henry George delivered a lecture 10
this city on free trade, and has announced
himself as a supporter In the next CANVASS
OF President Cleveland. Mr.. Georges po.
siton is not question OF very great
moment, as the time has gone by when he
could sway votes. The fallacy which he
advocated, and which brought him into
prominence, has been SO clearly proven to
he fallacy, aud besides that George is not
even entitled to the credit OF originality Ia
advocating it., that lie has lost all power
over men. still, he is quoted by the papers,
and thinks he can control some votes, and
therefore what he says is Of some interest,
Mr.. George said In regard TO President
Cleveland, "Ife has set his face clearly In
the direction of free trade,n aud, unlike Mr..
Georges usual utterances, that Is the truth.
We congratulate the Republican party
upon the position taken by Mr.. Henry
George in the statement made that there
will be no distinctive labor candidate
Nothing could have happened OF greater
benefit TO the party than this declaration,
and there can be no mistake as to how MIR.

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Important Decision by tho secretary
OF the Interior.

Important Decision by tho secretary
Of the Interior.
An important decision was rendered by
SecretaryVllssy Yesterday in thecase OF Julius
A. Barnes andlothers, who made application
to purchase at atprivate cash entry within the
indemnity limits Of the grant to the state Of
Michigan for the benefit Of the Marquette
and Ontopagon railroad. On Nov. l6, 1855,
these applications were rejected by the
local land Office on the ground that the
lands were not subject to such entry, being
within the fifteen and twenty mile limits
Of the grant.
The Secretary, In his decision, anirms
that Of the local office, and holds that in
the absence Of any express statutory or
other authority to withdraw from private
entry lands within the indemnity limits OF
a railroad grant, the exercise OF that power
BY an executive department would have
the effect to withdraw such lands from
private cash entry; that the odd.numbered
sections within the fifteen mile limits were
not restored TO private cash entry by the
order Of April 10, 1860. and that the ODD
numbered sections within the fifteen mile
limits, as well as those within the twenty
mile limits were held in reservation for the
benefit of the road until august l5, 1887,
when an order restoring them was Issued;
and therefore they could not be subject to
private cash entry while the lands were in a
state Of reservation; that the withdrawal OF
theee lands from market abiogated the
original offering, and the restoration OF
them to the public domain under the order
Of Aug. Is, 1887, did not restore them as
offered lands, but as lands that had practi.
cally never been offered. lie therefore de.
cldes that these lands will not be subject to
private cash entry under the order OF Aug.
10, 1887, until second Offering has been
tuoda
