The House bill for the consolidation
Of the various Indian districts bounded
by the States of Kansas, Colorado, and
Texas, is likely to become law, unless the
President makes it the subject of fare
we'll veto. The new Territory of Oklahoma
will comprise 20 100000 acres of land,
mostly fertile, and all of them sources of
mineral or vegetable wealth, lying in a
healthy climate, and in a latitude favora-
be to the highest development of civil
ization. 1t is Territory which, in whole
or in part, will be ready for statehood in
a few years. At least twenty Thousand
citizens will enter it within six months
from the passage of bill, giving it name
and a government, and fifty thousand
within year. The creation of the Terri
tory of Oklahoma will be followed by
railway buildings aud city buildings, and
.y the demand for tools and labor which
auch enterprises beget, while the impulse
of trade by the mere supply of emigrants
outfits and of the implements required
on new farms will be far from inconsid-
cradle.
The five civilized tribes whose lands
are not included in the % 100000 aecrs
about to be thrown open to homesteaders
number 325 acers to every adult aud in
FAINT indian of either sex. These titles
will be conserved to them by the Terri
torial government, and for such additional
lands as they may have inst claims upon
they will receive compensation at the
rate of $125 per acre. The future of the
Cherokees, Chickasaws, Creeke, and
Seminoles is likely to be as pleasant as the
present CONDITION of those Miami Indians,
who now exercise all The rights of citizen
ship and enjoy some of the best farms In
one of the richest districts of Indiana.

Public and Private Honesty.
Indianapolis Journal.


We have heard great deal, iG recent
times, about the corruption of politics
and the dishonesty of government Off
cials. Recent defalcations in New York,
Pittsburg ard this city are g sufficient re-
putation of the common assum ption
that private business is conducted much
more honestly than public. The entire
history of government would hardly
furnish parallel TO these defulcations.
The fact is, the government takes the
lowest possible risks in the management
of its business. All its agents and Off
ers who receive, disburse or handle money
are required to give bonds. They are
required to report regularly, and their
books and accounts are examined fire.
quently and at unexpected times. If
government officer is found short, he is
Immediately called to account, and, if
defaoiter, he and his bondsmen are prose-
cuted TO the bitter eI d. The government
never compromises a felony, condones
fraud or lets up on defaulter. 1t pur-
sues delinquent official and his bonds
men to the verge of the grave. This is
right. Itshould be go in private aud COL
poration affairs. This country Is sadly In
need of higher standard of honesty.

THERE is no more necessity for the
county commissioners to impose an ad-
ditional levy of one mill on the taxable
property of Douglas county for the pur-
chase OF a new poor farm than a wagon
has need of fifth wheel. A one-mill
levy means an assessment on the tax
payers Of about twenty-five thousand
dollars. 1t would be extravaganza for
them to purchase large tract Of land
for a poor farm, or to
erect an expensive building for
the use Of paupers. The poor farm
as a farm is a misnomer. 1t has never
been self-sustaining. 1t did not even
raise sufficient garden truck for the in
mates, and the few tons of hay and few
bushels of corn which were grown on
the present site cost the county more
than they could be bought for in the open
market. For all present necessities,
however, the new county hospital, when
completed can be used for the shelter
of the county's poor. There will be suf-
fcient room for such purpose in one of
the farther wings of that large building
without interfering with its legitimate
object as hospital. Within two or
three years at the most, the sale of the
present poor farm lots will net the
county commissioners sufficient to pur-
chase suitable grounds and buildings
for an aims house.

IAN WYCK7S RESTDENCES.

The fact that ex-senator Van Wyck
has recently bought lot on Dupont
Circle at Washington, affords the mer-
cenaries who are about to retire from
the Omaha Herald an opportunity for
firing parting volley at Van Wyck.
The assertion is made that Mr.. Van
Wyck has decided to give up Nebraska
as his residence and make Washington
his permanent home. This unfounded
statement Is coupled with a rehash OF
stale falsehoods and inuendoes about
Van Wyck living in barn in Nebraska
and entertaining royalty in a palatial
mansion at Washington.
This sort Of badinage served its pur-
pose during the campaign Of 1885, but is
entirely out OF place now when Van
Wyck is no longer in public life.
There may be those who believe
that Van Wyck committed an
objectionable crime in building resi-
dence at Washington in which he en-
tertained people from Nebraska and his
colleagues in congress, but no fair
minded person will contend that John
Sherman and Allen G.. Thurman, both
OF whom built and own houses in Wash
just as soon as they acquired mansions
at the national capital. What would
apply to Sherman and Thurman, applies
to Blaine, Window, Cameron, Allison
and a dozen other public men who own
residences in Washington and still re-
tain homes In their respective states.
But Van Wyck never lived in a barn
in Nebraska, unless it was during terri
torial days. The adventurers who seek
to belittle and blackguard HIM do not
know perhaps that Van Wyck lived in
Nebraska from ten to fifteen years be-
fore they set foot on our soil. In 1875
he was one Of the members of the con-
vention that framed our state constitu-
ton, and he has resided in Nebraska
ever since.
Without definite knowledge as to
what he proposes to do with his Wash
ington lot we venture to say that he
has bought it as an investment. The
lot is located opposite theVanWyck man
sion that has been such source OF ma
lignant gossip. 1t is perhaps the most
eligible site for residence in that
fashionable quarter. If Van Wyck
builds another ''mansion" upon that lot
he will probably sell the one opposite
| and possibly he may sell both. At best,
these purchases and sales are his own
affair and do not concern the public.
The barn in which Van Wyck sleeps
when ne lives in Nebraska is reputed
to be very handsome and comfortable
farm house, with some twelve hundred
acres of cultivated land and orchard as
| an attachment. Possibly Mr.. Van
| Wyck may retire from Nebraska but
we believe that he will make himself
heard several times before he bids this
| state final farewell.
