OBSTRUCTIVE CATrLEMEN.

The Cherokee Indian commission,
which spent last summer in an unsuc-
cessiul attempt to induce the Indians to
surrender their lands to the govern
ment, charged the failure to the inhu-
epce of the cattlemen. 1t may not have
been wholly due to this, for the Chero-
KEGS do not lack the Intelligence to see
when they have the best side OF bar
gain, and in this matter they are in
very safe position to make
the most advantageous terri Hav-
ing in view what the gov
ernment has done in purchasing other
Indian lands, il is not remarkable that
the Cherokees, we'll fortified as they
are behind strong treaty arrangements,
should have determined not to surrender
their lands until the government was
prepared to offer laore liberal terms
than it had been doing. But, un-
doubtedly, the cattlemen have not been
idle, and as their business relations
with the indians are such as to en-
able them to exert great deal
OF influence, while their interest
is to oppose the surrender of the
lands desired by the government, 1t is
easy to understand that they would
spare no effort TO induce the Indians to
reject the governments proposals.
The commission recommended that the
cattlemen be driven from the Cherokee
outlet forthwith, and the matter has
received very careful consideration for
several weeks from the secretary OF the
interior. A delicate point was that
the leases of the cattlemen were
approved by the predecessors of
the present secretary of the inter-
ior, and to drive them from the ''out-
let," would amount 10 repudiating the

THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

The report of the grand jury confirms
every charge made by THE BEE against
the board OF county commissioners, and
throws side lights on various transac-
tions that were heretofore kept in the
dark. The gist of the report is that the
members OF the board, while not crimi-
nally dishonest, are totally incompetent
to manage the important affairs of tho
county.
From the inception Of the hospi-
tai job to the present time, the con-
duct of the board has been II sue
cession of reclsless blunders. The let
ting of the contract to irresponsible job
bers plunged the board into maze Of
difficulties from which it had neither
the ability nor moral stamina to eNtri-
cate itself. The contractors and super
intendents took advantage OF this care
lessness with the result of imposing on
the county a building which the grand
Jury finds is not only menace to life
but a monument to the stupidity aud
inefficiency of the contractors, and
commissioners, and a disgrace to the
county.
Negligence ana unbusiness-like meth
DDS are stamped on all transactions of
the board. The records are lncom-
plete, ordinary rules of management
were set aside, and unseemly haste
marks the conduct of business involv-
ing vast OUTLAWS of public money. I'm
portant papers bearing on the scandal
Gus Pauly vault bill were spirited away,
as we'll as other records, which pre-
vented the grand jury from making a
complete investigation Of all the jobs
perpetrated by the county ring.
The picture presented by the grand
jury is not cheerful one for the tax
payers. The disgraceful jobbery visi-
BILE in all the acts of the board robs the
county of hundreds OF thousands of dol
lars, without any equivalent. 1t is the
natural result of placing in important
positions men possessing neither the
ability nor business training to properly
fill them. The election of Maginnis
and Corrigan would simply mean a con-
tinuance of the scandal, whereas Messrs.
Berlin and Smith, the republican
nominees, possess the intelligence,
training and integrity to elevate the
business methods of the board and prove
barrier to the horde of jobbers now
regularly raiding the county treasury.

acts OF preceding heads OF the interior
department. in granting the leases. The
CONCLUSION reached by Secretary Noble,
however, Is That the leases are Illegal,
since to be valid they must be made by
treaty, pursuant TO the constitution. and
that IL is within tn o authority OF the
president to remove unauthorized per-
sons from the reservation whe never
their presence is believed to be detri-
mental to the peace and welfare
OF the Indians. The fact
that the cattlemen have inter-
fered with the negotiations
Of the United States, in defiance OF law
and against public interest, the secre-
tary says, gives occasion for the govern
ment to consider the propriety of laying
its hands upon these citizens TO restrain
them from proceeding further in this
direction. Accordingly the cattlemen
are notified to leave the 'outlet" on or
before June | next, and the Cherokees
receive notice that the United States
may see fit hereafter to assert its right
by superior title.
Obviously this matter may grow into
an exceedingly interesting issue. The
Chcrokees are not likely to recede from
thoir position without struggle. What
ever others may think of the views Of the
secretary OF the interior regarding the
fairness and liberality of the govern
ment's proposition for the surrender OF
these lands, the Indians will doubtless
not be greatly impressed with them.
They have heard similar arguments
from the commission without being af-
fected by them, and they will doubtless
seek to maintain the position they have
taken, which they claim has the war
rant of treaty agreement. As to the
cattlemen, whose leases received the
approval and ratification of the secre-
tary of the interior, they will hardly
abandon them without contest. which
will enable the courts to pass upon the
question of their rights. Ultimately,
there can be no doubt. the government
will obtain possession of these lands.
The general interest will render this
necessary and inevitable. But in the
meantime the matter is likely to be-
come so interesting as to command
great deal of public attention.

THE we'll meaning people who have
sent petition to President Harrison,
protesting against the political crimes
in the south and asking him to use all
the force that belongs to his high office
to put stop to them. evidently have
very little idea of the character and
limitations OF the executive office. The
president is wholly powerless to pre-
vent these political outrages and crimes,
and no amount of moral force that he
might bring to bear would probably
exert the slightest influence. Un-
less congress shall enact law,
which is improbable, giving the presi-
dent the authority to provide for the
protection OF citizens in the exercise of
their political rights, so far as federal
elections are concerted, the country
must wait for the remedy for political
crimes in the south in the growth of a
more just and patriotic sentiment than
now prevails there. This may be slow
in coming-the work, perhaps, of more
than generation-but 1t is to be hoped
for in time by all who believe in the
worth and permanence Of American
institutions.

NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.


Elections will be held in ten states
only few of them is there general
interest in political circles. Among
these Ohio commands perhaps the
largest degree of interest. II that
state should go democratic it would
unQuestionably have most encouraging
and stimulating effect upon the party
throughout the country. And the
Ohio democracy have made II
most active and vigorous cam
pnign in which they have probably
gained something from republican mis-
chances. The most serious of these was
the mistaken charge made by Mr.. Hal
stead against the democratic candidate
for governor, that he was Interested in
u patent ballot box which he eudeavor-
ed, as q member of congress, to have the
government adopt for use in federal
elections. Mr.. Halstead was imposed
upon and made retractiou.
from which it is not doubted the
democratic candidate obtained some
benefit. Another mlschance for the re-
publicans came IN the Illness OF Gov
ernor Foraker, just when the campaign
was most heated and the sturdiest fight
ing was required on the part of the
leader. The republicans, however, ex-
press confidence in the result, claiming
that they will elect the entire state
ticket and the legislature, which will
choose a successor to Henry B. Payne.
There is a very general interest
in the Virginia contest, and it is
said to be the opinion in administration
| circles that the republicans have very
good chance of carrying the state.
Malone is said to have effected a most
thorough organization, particularly OF
the negro voters, to whose interest in
the result he has made most direct ap-
peal. There has been so large de-
fection of white republicans, however,
and the election machinery is SO COM
pletely in the hands of the de-
mocracy, that it is not
easy to see upon what the hope of re-
publican success is based. The contest
in Massachusetts is not without inter
est, for the reason that the nomination
of Bracket by the republicans dissatis-
fed n considerable element of the party
and 1t may be that this dissatisfaction
is sufficiently widespread to defeat the
party, or at least to allow the election
of Russell, the democratic candidate,
who has made very aggressive and
effective campaign. The election in
New York possesses quite as much
interest for the effect the result may
have upon the future of Governor Hill
as upon that of the two political parties
in the country. The democratic ticket
was made and tbeI campaign has been
conducted in the interest of Hill, and
it's success would be his J.. victory. The
| friends of Mr.. Cleveland have an OPP
portunity to rebuke the governor and
they may do so. 1t is the expectation
that they will, which gives a warrant
for confidence in republican success in
New York There is nothing in the
situation in the other states to justify
the belief that they will not continue in
the political column, where they are at
present, although in some of them more
or less OF change in the strength of
parties may be shown.

There is q wide diversity of opinion
among republican congressman concern
ing tariff revisioh internal revenue
laws and other important legislative
meas res. Ninety-three out of a total
republican membership OF one hundred
and sixty-nine have given their views
in reply to questions propounded by
the New York Tribune. OF this number
eighty-six are in favor of tariff revision
on the lines laid down by the senate last
year. Several OF the affirmative an
swers were qualified, some favoring
higher duties on WOOL tin
plate, ETC., while others favor
greater reduction or repeal
of the duty on sugar. In regard to the
internal revenue laws only twelve favor
the abolition, the remainder favoring
various degrees Of modification. Sixty
five favor repeal Of the tax on tobacco,
and eleven declare for reduction, but
there is practical unan unity for reten-
tiOn of some OF the tax on spirits. Sew
enty-live favor national control OF con-
gressional elections. On the question
of subsidies to steamship lines with u
view TO the restoration of the American
flag on the high seas, ninety-one reply
in the affirmative, but disagree as to
the best means. The replies are fair
index to the character Of the legislation
which the coming congress will under
take. They indicate that no material
change in tho tariff will be made by the
Fifty-ilrst congress.
