A Futile Threat,

Some OF our Republican contem poraries
are trying to bulldoZe the Democrats by
threatening that the Republicans in tho
Senate will throw over the bill for the re-
peal OF the purchasing clause of the SHER-
MAN act. il the Democrats in the House
Insist. as they do insist. on carrying out that
part OF the Democratic platform winch calls
for the repeal of the Federal election laws.
I'VE do not hesitate to say" tho Tribune
remarks. THAT If the TUcKER programme
for eliminating the legislation of the last
thirty years is to follow the repeal OF the
sent to delay the initial step will not DO
severely criticised"
We are sorry to find usually conserva-
tive and thoughtful journal like the Tribune
preferring bayonets at the polls to the
prosperity Of the country. We must re-
mind our contemporary that the Dem
ocratlc party Is responsible for legisla-
ton and assumes that responsibility. The
Democrats in Congress are expected to do
their duty aud make the Democratic prom
ises to the country fact and law. The
Democratic party is not reduced and will
not he reduced to the humiliation Of maxi
ing terms with the Republicans or OF swap
ping Off one Democratic promise in consid-
Grafton OF Republican assistance in fulfill
ing another Democratic promise.
The Republicans in Congress must Judge
for themselves what measures they will
support. Tho Democrats cannot alter their
programme at the request Of the Republi-
cans. The repeal of the Federal election
laws Is one Of the commissions given to
the Democracy by tho American people.
That commission will be executed. although
the heather rage and imagine vain things.

In the rush OF the 100, 900 land grabbcrs
into the Cherokee Outlet which began last Sat-
| urday there have been many scandalous Incl
dents. besides not a few traRcal ones: and
indeed We shall not be surprised II we learn.
whom the reports are all gathered up, that rs
many as a hundred mon. besides several wo-
men. have been killed and wounded in it. The
scenes Of the past three days. as described by
our correspondents. surpass In witness those
at the opening Of the Oklahoma lands in 1891.
The number OF grabbers at this opening was
greater than that at the other: and the Chero-
kee craze was even flerccr than tho Oklahoma
The Federal troops were unable to prevent
disorder on Saturday. rs they had previously
been unable to clear out from the coveted
region those "sooners" who had hidden in
the grass or burrowed in the ground.
or taken refuge In holes along tho banks Of
the creeks. or followed the example OF that
Scripture! character who. in the words OF tho
hymn. clumb n tree Only those OF our
citizens who have personally witnessed
some ono OF tho great Western land rushes OF
past times eau form any kind OF an idea Of the
rush that began at noon OF Saturday. Who
can wonder at that rush when he thinks OF the
prizes that awaited the winners. and Of the
lack OF proper arrangements on tho occasion?
We guess that about half OF the grabbers
have got land. either in the shape of quarter
sections or of town lots. A good many OF the
men who failed TO grab anything will settle in
the hundred towns that have already been
started: and thousands OF others began to
move away from that part OF the country on
sunday morning. and are still going away in
their wagons or on their spawned horses or
afoot going back to the places from which
they came. or looking around for some other
locality in which they can settle with some
prospect OF getting along. Texas would be an
inviting State at this time OF the year II farms
were not so high there. and some parts OF old
Arkansas do not look as bad as they might;
but confound the spectators in land!
Some OF the Cherokee claim and town lot
grabbers are already selling out. Good leims
can be bought at 81. $3.50, or So an mere. and
choice lots in growing towns are offered Mt
rates ranging from 500 to 81 900. There will
be plenty OF real estate transactions from this
time straight along till BEILAMY gets the up
per hand and looks backward.
1t il our opinion that Secretary HoKE SMITH
OF the Interior Department could have adonted
a system OF disposing OF the Cheroke go lands
under which the disgraceful scenes OF tho past
few days would not have been witnessed
The Land Oflce must be held responsible for
fraud and bloodshed in the Cherokee Outlet.
1t would have been worth the while OF Presl-
dent CLEVELAND himself to examine the course
OF procedure provided for in this case.

These conditions have prevailed in GER

There is much meat in the remark Of a

Such an admission from such source is
almost inexplicable but not the ineffciency
