TUE matter of land leases by cattlemen
in the Indian territory will bo Invoatl
gated this month by Senator D woa nnd
his Biib-committoa. It Is proposed
pjraonally Interview the Indians and

obtained , and whether they are satisfied
with the plui. Upon the report of this
committee depends the fate of the leases
It will either recommend to the senate
i that the linds bo legalized and defined
or entirely prohibited.
IT was Gan. Bragg who , In the Chlcigo
convention , rebuked Tammany by saying
of Cleveland , "We love him for the ene
I ? ' mies ho has mado. " Mr. Bragg , who has
'boas'oi ' ' a great deal of that happy hit ,
and magnified it so much that ho Im
Inol that It was the turning point in
favor of Cleveland , is now counted among
'ha disgruntled democrats. President
Cleveland has glvon to him only the meal
ordinary recognition. Bragg Is eminent
ly a crushed statesman.
GOVERNOR W BUEN.of Wyoming , irho
waa appointed by President Arthur only
a few weeks before Cleveland's ' inaugura
tion , will very likely servo ont his term
of four y oars. At least such seems to bo
the impression among those Wyoming
democrats who were anxious to have him
ousted , and they have accordingly given
up tholr-efforts In that direction. Prom

IT Is now intimated that President

overj-ffhoro , whether in state or terri

the territorial appointment plank , which
Is fonnd In the platforms of both parties
should not bo strictly followed by Mr.
Cleveland. If it IB not curled out the

THE TRADE SITUATION.
The signs of the times throughout the
country jatt at present are of a fairly on *
enraging character , and wo ate led to bo
lero that wo are to have a protperons j oar.
riioro ii considerable activity In neatly
every branch of manufacturing Industry.
Wages are being gradually restored , the
number of hands Is being steadily in *
created , and nearly every large nnd Im
portant manufacturing concern ia receiv
ing froih orders which warrant it in ex *
tending Its facilities. There Is doubt
that the rumors cf foreign wars and the
consequent preparations have Infused
considerable life and activity Into our
trade nnd manufacturing circles. Largo
orders for supplies of various kinds
principally food , munitions of warond
military equipments generally have bean
received and filled , and othota srj fol
lowing. Bat aside from tbis , the trade
outlook Is cheerful. The failures of last
wcok in the United Slates and Canada
ivoro 208 , is against 240 of the previous
week , and 222 of the week before. There
las been a decrease in all sections except
tbo south and Now York City , where the
number is scmcwhat In excess of recent
weeks. The nnsottlod condition of the
weather has been a drawback to trade in
some lines , but the Improvement noted
ast week In most of the retail and job
bing branches of bitsinoaa has been fairly
eiatalnod. There has been no marked
activity , however , in any of the merchan
dise markets. The volume of trade is very
fair , but operations reflect the near wants
of distributors nni consumers , and values
continno to ralo low and unsatisfactory
: o sellers. Speculation on the foreign
political nowshas caused a'fnrthor _ advance
[ n the price of broadatnfla and a decline
in the cotton market ; , and the Increase of
supplies Incident to the advancing season
lw weakened values on dairy and some
farm products ; but there have boon few
noteworthy changes In coal , Iron or man
ufactured goods. The legitimate demand
for cotton has not improved , and the
market for Its manufactures has continued
quiet. A few leading brands of goods
are well sold up , but the supply general
ly is in excess of requirements , which are
presented cautiously. The wool trade
continues sluggish , but stocks of old
clip nro steadily dwindling away and
are likely to bo pretty nearly
exhanated before the now wools begin to
accumulate on the seaboard. Shearing
has been delayed In many localities by
unfavorable weather , but the now clip Is
under negotiation In all the unwashed
wool sections , nnd some sales have been
made at about 2 to 3 cents less than last
year's opening prices , This reduction Is
not equal to the decline that has occurred
within the year in eastern markets , and
unless lower prices are accepted by
growers , or some advance la established
on the seaboard , it seems probable that
casern oparatora will rofraln from free
Investment. It Is yet too early In the
season , however , to forecast the probable -
blo course of the market. Manu
facturers of clothing woolens ara getting
moro orders for full weights , and the
general trade In desirable fabrics has
been a httlo moro active , but there has
been no Improvement In prices. The
Iron trade has shown some evidence of
Improvement and the general outlook ie
more encouraging , but there has been no
decided activity In the market. The
prevailing activity In the building trades
rna'nU'na ' ' a good demand for builders'
materials and hardware.
The grain markets have been very ac
tive apecnlatlvoly , and the volume of
legitimate basinets also has been larger.
Values have promptly reflected the effect
of every indication of the drift of politi
cal ovcnts In Europe.
The ballef gains ground that the coin
trade will derive moro benefit from a
foreign war than the wheat trade , on
account of the practical monopoly of the
export busineas that will bo given to this
country by the stoppage of shipments
from the Black Sea ports. This prospect ,
coupled with the recent liberal buying
of exporters and the well-sustained de
mand for homo consumption , has
strengthened confidence among holders
and awakened increasing interest among
speculative buyers. The wheat crop
situation , so far as evidenced by the
week's dispatches , has undergone Httlo
change. A larger yield of spring wheat
is anticipated as a result of the stimulus
to production which the prospect of a
foreign war and higher prices has furn
ished ; but neither this nor the expected
shortage In the winter wheat harvest has
had noticeable Influence on the markoti ,
owing to the overshadowing importance
of the political news from Earope u
factor In shaping speculation.
THE POLICE COURT RECORDS.
When Judge Stanberg entered npon
the discharge of hla duties aa police judge
ho fooud the records of the court over
three months behind , the clerk harlng
failed to keep np hla hooks. It ought to
bo the duty of a judge f the police court
to read the clerk's record of the previous
day , and , if correct , to write hla appro
rl thereon , just the eame nstheapproval
of record Is made by the city council and
the legislature. There has been alto ,
gother too muoh looseness l.i the manner
of keeping the police court tecordi , and
it it high time that * reform
thould be inaugurated. What
U the uie of employing clerk
if he cannot keep hla books up to date ?
What dees he draw a salary for ? How
can anybody know how much money i *
received r ascertain any o.'uer
Important fact , if the hooka are not
properly kept /ram day to day , or ascsr-
; aia t.vny other important fact ? This Idea
of the r.lerk carrying the books in hie
load or.in bu pocket Is certainly a vorj
oose method of doing buiinets. The
'act It that the work of keeping the
policj court reoordt la mere child's play ,
aid can eailly ba completed from day to
dvy If the clerk will only attend to his
duties.
The city council and the board of edu
cation ought to make some provision for
the thorough examination of those
ecords from month to month , in order
see that the receipts are properly
cconntod for. The police judge
as made a salaried officer
or the purpose of doing nway with any
wmblo mixing up of hla own moneys
1th those received as fines , and the rec
ounts of the clerk and the court should
o audited the tame aa those of other
nbllo officers ,
The fact that the records are ovci
hreo months behind Is not any txcusi
'or ' Judge Stonborg in not having hi
ocord books kept up from the day tha
ho went into office. It Is simply absnri
cr him to wait until the books of hi
Kodccesaor are brought up to date
This Is not intended as any stricture npon
Judge Stcnbcr , but It is not bual
noes for him to delay this importan
matter any longor. It la possible th
with such a clerk as the ono who has
been attempting to fill the position , th
records never would catch up. The clt
council shouM take this matter in han
promptly. It would also bo well for th
board of education to look into thea
affairs hereafter in Ita own Interest
well oa that of the public. Wo woul
suggest that nn auditing committee b
appointed by the council and board t
periodically examlno the police cour
records , and In conjunction with th
secretary of the board of education
should bo the duty of such a commlttc
to chock up the receipts nnd compare th
records with thoao of the jail so tha
every case Is properly accounted for.
"NO MILITIA. IN HIS. "
During the recent city campaign , if we
member rightly , THE BEE told a pathetic stor
about Gov. Oglosby , of Illinois , goinor
Jollet to reason with the etrlklno : quarryme
and convince them of the futility of an attorn ;
violence and forco. It was a touching tal
and BO appetite to draw
comparison and apply n moral tbat Tl K
BEK became eloquent over It. Tb le
burden of tbo song was that notwithstandln leg
a big strike was on foot and the strikers wo ;
excited nnd threatening , Governor Ogloaby >
spurned the employ of repressive means.
s.f.
'No ' militia In hla'n. " Oglesby was self suf
ficient unto himself.
About a month has passed Binco then , and
lo , what do wo BOO ! Governor Oglesby , who
dld.not want any military In "hls'n , " ia cal
ling loudly for troops by the regiments , but
too late , alas , to prevent bloodshed. Herald.
The Herald has a very poor memory.
If wo remember rightly , the BEE said
nothing whatever about Governor Ogles-
by , of Illinois , but did say something
about the etrlko on the Gould system of
railroads. It commended the action of
tbo governora of Missouri , Kansas and
Texas. They not only refused to com
ply with the request of the railroad mag
nates to give them the assistance of the
militia , to forcibly suppress the strike
but advised them In the Interest of the '
public welfare to restore to their em
ployes the old wagoa which were not
any too high. The railroad managers
wisely acted upon the suggestion when
they caw that they could notuso the state
authorities and tbo militia against the
strikers.
So far as the latest f rouble at Lament
IB concerned , It is attributed mainly to
the acts of an indiscreet sheriff , who was
In 'ympithy with the strikora. His
lar
sympathy may have been proper
enough , but as an officer of the law ho
should not have allowed sympathy to In
fluence him In the strict performance of
his duty. In the Burlington & Missouri
dump troubles In Omaha the sheriffs
sympathy was against the striker * , and
ho made a similar mistake. Ho allowed
his feelings to influence him , and , Instead
stead of first endeavoring to do all in his
power to preserve order , ho immediately
yielded to the demand of the railroad
manager. ! to call on the governor for
militia. If ho had done his full duty ,
there would have been no mili'ii ' brought
to Omaha. Had not the sheriff at Joliet
released tiotcra who had been arrested ,
thera would probably have been no
bloodshed at Lament.
HTiiE MIsaourlans are complaining about
the cattle quarantine that has been es
tablished against their state. They claim
tbat it Is unreasonable bacauao
plouro-pneumonia oxiita only In ono
county , and the energetic measures that
are being taken to extirpate the disease
will probably bo auccesiful. The county
In which the disease prevails has been
thoroughly quarantined by tbo adjoining
counties , and it la believed that It trill
not spread. However , the precautions
that have been taken by other states ,
while perhaps a little premature , show
that the people ar ( live to the lmpr *
tince of keeping Infected cattle confined
u much possible to the region In which
the disease first makes Ha appearance.
NOT satisfied with demanding $ 00,000
from iho Chicago Inter-Ocean for alleged
libel during the recent campaign , Mayor
Harrison ha * brought another suit against
that paper for publishing an objectiona
ble cartoon. In this suit , however , ho
Is very reasonable In hla demands. Ho
only wants $35,000. ,

the plains ia carts constructed without
the nee of iron. They were in many
cases accompanied by their families. They
hunted buffalo , elk and antelope whore
they listed. It mattered not what tribe
of Indians claimed the cxclueivo right to
tbo hunting grounds none was sacred to
the Red river half-breeds. Slonz , Black-
feet or Crees would savagely defend tholr
hunting grounds against Incursion by all
other Indians ; but so well known was the
stanch conrago and resolute determina
tion of the halt-braeds that a column of
their carts was the signal for the Indiana
to draw the covers over their guns and
affect a friendship that they did not
fool.
fool.I
I found the half-breeds to bo honest ,
truthful , manly men. The English and
Scotch half-broods were the moro stal
wart , the French apparently the tougher.
They were all daring and vehement.
There was , so the Indian traders who
had seem thorn under fire assured mo ,
but little difference in their courage ,
though the Scotch and English half-
breeds were a little loss excitable , and ,
therefore , mora dangerous antagonists
Their knowledge of the extensive country ,
etudded with the trading forts of the
Hudson Bay companywas and Is as thor
ough as that of the bl inkc t Indians , whose
camp-iiro need to lighten the trail of the
evcr-moviag herds of buffalo. They
know the country from the Red river to
the Rocky mountains , from the notth
woods south to the boundary lino. They
know tbo Intraclos of the Touchwood and
Cypress Hlllv , those highlands that look
so very small on the maps , and are really
so very large. From their ranks were
drawn the men who accompanied the
officers of the Hudson's Bay company on
their trips of Inspection. Enter any
vilUga of lied rlvor half-breeds , and
oik for guides to any portion of
the northwest , and they can be supplied ;
and tbo traveler can depend on the men
ho hires to defend him staucbly , to guide
him to wood and water and grate , and to
remain with him until his journey Is
ended.
The duration of the present war and
Its extent depend entirely on whether
tbo half-breeds can Induce the Sioux and
Blackfeot to take the war-path. Neither
the Blackfeot nor the Oreo * are equal to
the Sioux In courage er In resoluteness of
purpose. Still they are far from being
cowardly. The most Imposing Indlant ,
physically , I bavo over seen are the
BUokfeot but Crit-c'nsj
; they are not -
Gjhters. The warriors of the plaini
are the Sioux and Cheyennes. .
Thess Indians Invariably whipped
any and all Indians they fought with ,
BlacBfeet , Blonds , Fieeans the names
are confuting , but when the reader of
the news from the northwest knows that
they are really the Bfttno tribe , bet different -
ferent clans , the confusion disappear * .
They are all Blackfeot. They no longer
camp and mike merry together , owiug
to a eorious and bloody mliunderstandlng
having arisen ono night , some years ago ,
when the three clans camped together on
the Belly river , But thry do not fight
each other , and they wi'l ' Instantly com
bine against a neighboring tribe , if It
seems wise to the chlefd to make war
They are hereditary enemies of the
Creep. Those two tribes have been at
war tinea the country was first penetrated
by white men.

Gen. KomarolT ,
Pall Mall Garetto.
Oen , Komarolf distinguished ] hlmtolf
by military tact , audacity , and resource *
f nines * ; us well nj personil bravoty in the
Ilnssn-TUrklsh campaign In Asia Minor
In 1877 , when ho won his present rank of
general. In M. Gradcf'ky's ' "Oolna v.
Malol Azll , " an account ia glvon of sev
eral exploits of Gen. , then Ool , lOmaroir
who Is not to bo confounded with his elder
brother , who was ono of the commanding
generals in the war , but was not pattlcn *
* .rly successful. After the capture of
.rdrthan , near the Iluiso-Turkieh frontier
! 01. KomarolT was loft in command of n
otnchmont which had the dlflioult duty
f defending a considerable trict of the
elghboring mountainous country , and
rotcctlng thn Rustun frontier a well ni
ovcring the flAtik and rnar of the army
lion operating apatnst Kars. When the
lavement urged by Lord McllkofT was
mndo against Erzeroum , Ool. Kumaron *
executed a very bold and successful
nancuvor. With a flying tquuhon ho
advanced from Ardhan , pasted rapidly
around the enemies flank , nnd camodotrn
upon a part of the Turkish force which
wai holding the Pnnsk pats on the Suh-
anlongh tango which commanded access
to the town of Oltl on the northern sldo ,
whouca the Turks Intended to attack Ar-
dahan. Ocl. Komaroil's unexpected ap
pearance had sdch an effect that the ene
my retreated at once without fighting ,
and the Russians were enabled to occupy
PaiiDk Olli , and to capture 2,000 rllles
and 500,000 cartridges
When at a subsequent period of the
campaign tbo Itusfllan Iroopi worn ordered
to retire from Hadj Vail , Col KninaroiT
with his detachment found himself placed
in a very perilous position by reason of
the withdrawal of the main column of the
Russian force , from rthlch ho became sop-
orated by a dlstanca of from four to five
mile ? , whllo ho was exposed to Turkish
Bro from the twin heights of Great and
Little Yalta. By a dash ho drove off the
two hundred Turkls cavalry who hold
the Great Yalta , stationed a body of his
own men in their place , and under cover
of their fire brought the main part of his
own force ronnd to the eastern slope of
the hill , where after n time they were
jojnod by reinforcements from iho Rus
sian army under the very note of the
enemy , and tbo whole force was enabled
to retire in order.
During the attack of the Turks on the
night of July 31 ( Aug. 1) ) npon the Rus
sian camp at Kiourinuk-Dara , Ool. or
rather , at this date , Gen. Komaroff , for
tie had already been promoted to that
rank , was charged wllh a detachment to
take up a position at Mount Ksraal , four
vorala from the Russian camp , and there
to act at his own discretion. It was on
this ocasion that ho received a wound in
the breast , which , however , did not prove
serious , toe bullet having struck a rollg-
ODB medal which ho woro. Uen. Komar-
rlT subsequently took part in the storm
ing of Kara , and contributed no unim
portant share in that celebrated action.
At the conclusion of the war ho was
made commandant of Batonm , on the
Euxlne , and after the Akhal-Tekko ex
pedition he was placed in cornmant of tbo
Tranacasplan army. Tbo Russians at
tributed the peaceable annexion of Mery
